Chapter 3 - Chapter Three: Zhou Ming

Zhu Feng looked at her mother. Tears. Why is it we've finally been united and all that has happened is tears... Mother Zhu looked back at her daughter. She had the most amazing red eye she has ever seen, Probably because of the father. Her hair was past her waist and ink black like her. She had a sharp nose and defining features. If she had some weight she would be devastatingly beautiful. "Mother I need to see this Zhou Ming... I need to see if its him... Y-you don't understand... I have to..." Zhu Feng looked at her mother desperately trying to get her to let her go. Mother Zhu thought for a while and made up her mind. "We will go and check him out tomorrow. We need to shop anyways so lets just sleep... besides it's already late and everyone is sleeping. Zhu Feng had no choice but to follow her mother's words. They laid back down in the small uncomfortable bed and slowly fell asleep.

*In Zhou Ming's Room*

Zhou Ming was about to fall asleep when he heard a voice coming to his room. He came to this world six months ago and has been looking for his junior sister ever since. He just knew this had to be her fault. On the day he came here he was on his way to propose and when he got to her little lair he saw he in a metal box and when he touched it a flash and then he saw his life play back. Both of them. He had yet to regain his memories fully but his junior sister did. He knew enough to know that no matter what happened no matter where they were he would always be able to find her. But after being here for so long he hadn't felt it. The voices got closer and closer and he could finally make out that it was his father. The emperor walked into Zhou Ming's room and whispered " Ming'er...Ming'er....Wake up." The emperor poked at his favorite son. Zhou Ming opened his eyes. They were the same violet as they were in his past life. "What do you want?" He was very annoyed with this new body of his. Before he came here this body was mute and his face was ruined. Now because he was slightly versed in medicine he was able to fix his voice. His face.... if he could just find his junior sister... "Ming'er are you listening?" Zhou Ming looked at his father. He had an expectant look on his face and Zhou Ming could tell that it had something to do with his mother. "No." Zhou Ming's flat voice sounded through the dark. The emperor looked at Zhou Ming. His son has changed in the past few months. He now didn't suck up to him or try to curry favor. He also recovered his voice. The emperor was happy at some of the changes as this was the son he had with his beloved. "Ming'er please, All I want of for you to give this to your mother. It's our anniversary soon and she wont accept me at the gates. Just please?" The emperor tried his best to look cute but in front of Zhou Ming he looked like a pervert. "Put it on the desk and Ill take it to mother when I visit next." Zhou Ming closed his eyes again and heard the door close. All of a sudden he felt it. A tug. His eyes shot open and he sat up. His lower body just lay there but Zhou Ming was sure he could feel it. It was faint but because he was looking for it he felt it. He tried to calm himself but to no avail. He was getting married soon and it was to a girl he didn't know. He was going to meet her and treat her like garbage so that when he found his junior sister he could finally take her as his one and only life. Now that he was certain she was here he calmed his nerves and decided to go out tomorrow to see if he could find her.

*The next morning*

Zhu Feng was woken by Mother Zhu early in the morning. They did all the house chores before the family wake up and made breakfast. They let one of the servants know they were going out shopping and they left. Zhu Feng was wearing the only decent dress she had but it was still of low quality. Mother Zhu tried pulling her to a really nice shop but judging by the looks they were receiving they were not welcome. Zhu Feng pulled her mother to a smaller shop that didn't have a lot of people entering. When they came in they were greeted by a little girl. " Hello Madam and miss. Welcome to our shop," She smiled " What are you looking for?" Mother Zhu looked at the little girl and thought she was quite cute. "Hello, we are looking for some ready made dresses... do you have any?" The little girl perked up immediately. "We do! We do!" The little girl ran to the covered side of the store and came out with a huge rack of dresses. Each of the dressed were of decent fabric and amazing colors. Mother Zhu looked at them and then felt the weight in her change purse. "W-we might have to look at something else... we only have a few silver at best..." The little girl's eyes shined at the mention of silver. "Auntie wait here, Ill go grab grandfather and see what he says about it." With that the little girl ran to the back storage room to grab her grandfather. When the old man came out and saw that he had customers he chided the little girl for not telling him. Mother Zhu and Zhu Feng looked at them and could see the doting look in his eyes so they didn't speak up.
