The Playful Dragon Prince Cheng Ying

After granting hero Zhen's wish, Lianhua left the wishing temple. She felt happy that she could help another person move on with no regret. On her way back to her room, Lianhua was occupied by her own thoughts of the human man who took care of her when she was a lotus. Not paying attention to the road, she slipped on a pebble and fell back. Before her body falls to the ground, someone caught her. His arms wrapped around her waist to prevent her from falling.

"Beauty, you should pay attention to the road ahead. You wouldn't want to fall from heaven," he said with a wink.

Lianhua pulled herself up and out of his grasp.

"Lianhua greets your highness the dragon prince" she bowed.

"I told you that you don't have to be formal towards me. Look! I've brought you your favorite snack," he said with a big smile as he lifts a wooden box.

Lianhua looks at him with a sweet smile before responding, "Prince Cheng, is that dried mango?"

Cheng Ying nodded his head and stretched his arms out to give her the box. She gave him a warm smile and accepted his gift.

"Let's sit over there and enjoy it together," Lianhua suggested.

She pointed over to the tree on the other side of the bridge. The two walked over and sat under the tree. Cheng Ying opened the box to reveal a plate of dry mango slices. He picked up a slice and gave it to Lianhua.

"How was wish-granting today?" he asked as he picks up a slice for himself.

"It went smoothly. I granted general Zhen's wish today," she responded with joy in every word.

"Then are you done for today? I want to take you somewhere."

Lianhua stopped eating and looked at Cheng Ying.

"Where?" she asked.

"That is a secret for you to find out," he responded mischievously.

Lianhua playfully hits his shoulder and states, "you're always full of mischiefs."

"Ow!" Cheng Ying pretended to be hurt by her attack.

He rubbed his arm and joked, "If you break my arm, you'll have to take care of me."

"Alright, it's just taking care of you for a while" she played along with his joke.

"I would love to have a beauty by my side, tending to my injury," he said as he leans in close.

The two stared at each other for a split second before Lianhua pushes him away.

"Playboy," she mumbled under her breath.

"What? I am an honest man who will only love his soulmate," he declared.

"Whos your soulmate? Stop talking nonsense," Lianhua responded

She pushed herself off the ground and walked away.

"Hey! I'll meet you tonight at this tree! Don't stand me up! I have a surprise for you!" he stood up and shouted.

Cheng Ying smiled as he recalled the close distance between them just earlier.

"I'll take you star picking," he whispered to himself.

He bent down to pick up the box of dried mango and walked away. His smile was big and full of happiness, but how long can this smile last when a man from the past enters the picture? A mistake that can only be fixed at the place that this love started from, Earth.
