Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 306 - Knock, Knock

Chapter 306 - Knock, Knock

Zheng Wei was speechless when she heard Xie Ming's words. She did not think that she was wrong.

She was just stating the 'facts'. She felt that Xie Ming was deliberately trying to find topics to fight with her.

She felt that Xie Ming was feeling threatened by her and was feeling insecure because she is getting along with others well and whereas she was sitting alone and no one was giving her attention.

Thinking of this, she felt triumph in her heart and a proud expression spread on her face.

She raised her head lightly and tried to look hurt from her words, " Xie Ming, I don't know what is your problem? How can you blame me for not respecting my country's culture and history."

" I know very well about our culture. And I didn't say anything wrong. I think you're just overreacting and trying to fight with me over this petty topic. " she said with a displeased tone.

Everyone looked at Zhang Wei. They pursed her lips because they were feeling the same as Xie Ming.

They are going to work on the historical movie which is based on fiction but while preparing for the movie, they got to know so much about their culture and history which they weren't aware of earlier.

When they heard Zhang Wei's comments, they felt like she was insulting their culture. She thinks she was modern and knowledgeable while others were barbaric and ignorant.

Her line of knowledge is very limited and kind of petty.

Even Han Ling didn't like her words either. So when Xie Ming retorted Zhang Wei, her respect for Xie Ming grew even more.

Her every word was spot on. Her father has served in the military as a soldier, so she knows the effort of the people to protect their country.

And she was quite sensitive about the history and culture of their country. When Zhang Wei made such remarks, it comes out as disrespectful and embarrassing.

…

Xie Ming looked at Zhang Wei's dumb behavior. She sighed and said, " Ms. Zhang, you're the one who got popularity from acting in historical dramas and movies."

" It's okay to have your personal opinion. But you should not make such comments. They were not ignorant, they were illiterate from your perspective only. Those people were normal and may be very amazing in their time. "

" So, I request you to not make such remarks in the future otherwise, people will stop worshiping you. I am sorry, If you find me rude for interrupting your conversation earlier, but I just can't listen to you when you keep insulting our history and culture. " she pursed her lips and politely said to Zhang Wei.

She does not want to be too rude to h her because she was her senior after all. It will be not polite to insult her like this in front of everyone.

Zhang Wei was stunned when Xie Ming said such words. She furrowed her words and wanted to shout at Xie Ming for talking this way to her.

But she was surrounded by people and couldn't do so. She felt that Xie Ming was being too nosy.

However, when she looked at everyone's gaze, she realized that she had said something wrong.

She bites her lower lip and was worried if they think wrongly of her.

She could not control her words and let the truth slip in public. She is the public figure and this issue got out then she will be bashed by the netizens.

She should refrain from saying such words.

She looked at Xie Ming with a complicated gaze. If she didn't point out this thing, then nobody has bothered with it.

But now everyone was looking at her with accusing gazes.

"Ahm. I am sorry if you took me wrong. It wasn't my intention to insult our culture or history. I was just telling Han Ling about my experience only, maybe my words come out wrong." she tried to look sincerely at Xie Ming while apologizing.

Xie Ming looked at her and said casually," It's okay. But please try to refrain from saying such words in the future. Otherwise, people will take you wrong. And I apologize to you as well if you felt hurt from my words. "

Zhang Wei's brows twitched when she apologized as well. This decreased the impact of her apology and made Xie Ming a great person.

Because she not only protected the dignity of their culture but also apologized to Zhang Wei which showed how magnanimous she is as a person.

Jian Yan who was sitting by Xie Ming's side looked pleased with her reaction.

He always admired her for her courage. She can never endure injustice and always speaks for wrong.

If she wasn't brave, she wouldn't have saved him from bullying in the past.

…

After Xie Ming and Zhang Wei's face-off, Xu Lan made everyone play some games to reduce the awkwardness.

After playing games and lightening the mood, Zhang Wei went back to her hotel and everyone also went to their rooms.

When Xie Ming entered her room, she was so tired and exhausted from the bonfire.

The games were fun yet tiring. Though it was not physically exhausting, the traveling was.

She was healing well but she is still weak and easily felt tired.

She hurriedly washed her face again before going to bed and applied moisturizer again. She didn't bother to change and decided to wear the same white dress as it was very comfortable and soft.

And it was only her in the room, so she can sleep the way she wants.

Earlier, Song Xiner was supposed to sleep in her room but Xu Lan called her to her room to sleep with her.

Xu Lan has become a good friend with Song Xiner and wanted to talk with her at night so she took her to her room.

Song Xiner didn't have any problems nor Xie Ming. So this way, now it is only her in the room.

…

Xie Ming laid on the comfy bed lazily which was empty and cold. She pursed her lips as emptiness filled her heart.

She felt weird when she realized she has to sleep alone tonight.

After getting injured, she has been sleeping with Liwei daily. Though they didn't do anything those days, yet she has gotten used to the heat of his body.

His scent which makes her mind hazy was not there. Her side was empty which made her feel weird.

She opened her phone and saw that he has seen her previous message but hasn't replied to anything.

She felt uncomfortable when he didn't reply to her. She hesitated for a moment, before dialing his number.

But he didn't pick up. She felt strange and emptiness was becoming heavy in her heart when she didn't get to talk to him.

She looked at the time and it was not past 12 now. She bit her lower lip and realized that it had gotten late.

' Forget it. " she dropped the idea of calling him again and placed the phone on the side table.

" Maybe he is sleeping," she muttered while trying to sleep.

She keeps moving on the bed while changing sides. She felt uncomfortable in her heart.

She felt bad that he didn't even reply to her texts nor called her yet.

" Did he not feel anything without me? How could he sleep so peacefully while making me sleepless?" she opened her eyes in frustration and whined while staring at the ceiling.

She looked at the time, it's past 1 am now. She sighed when she couldn't fall asleep.

She picked up her phone again and opened the WeChat again. She looked at his messages which he had sent her earlier.

After that, she opened her gallery to look at his photos and realized that there is no picture of him on her phone.

She frowned and realized that they didn't take any pictures together yet.

She felt that uncomfortable feeling in her heart. She wanted to look at him and has no way to look at him right now.

There is no profile picture on his Wechat either.

She sighed and realized how important Liwie has become in her life.

It's only one day and she was already missing him.

She decided to empty her mind and wanted to sleep so that she did not mess in the morning. Because the next day, Mr. Han is going to come over for the script reading.

" Knock, knock."

She closed her eyes and was trying to sleep when she heard a noise of knock on her door.

She got startled from the sudden knock on the door. Song Xiner is not in the room either and it was only Yuan Lei and her room on the floor.

And Yuan Lei was not in her room either. She has gone to meet her friend earlier. She told Xu Lan that her friend is in the Ning city and she was going to stay the night with her.

Xu Lan didn't say anything as she can't say no to her. It's her choice if she wanted to stay or not.

She was frightened when there was a knock on the door. She has recently experienced the horror of being kidnapped and was traumatic since that incident.

She almost jumped in fear when someone knocked on the door again.

" Who is it?"

Noone replied from outside, instead banged on the door again. Her heart started beating crazily in fear.

She got up from the bed hurriedly and thought of calling Song Xiner. But when she looked at her phone and realized that it had gotten off.

She forgot to charge her again. She bit her lower lip and picked up the flower vase from the side table.

She hesitantly walked towards the door and tightened her grip on the flower vase in her hand.
