Love Of Eternity

Xia Xue approached him and helped him up before replying "why wouldn't I let you go?"

Then she hugged him who was tearing up.

He looked at her perplexed with a slight blush on his face. "Wh-what are you doing.. I'm dirty.. let go.."

Xue giggled as her grip tightened and said

"Aren't we friends now? I saved you after all.*

He looked down at her head as she was hugging him, before he could say anything she cuts him off saying

"And I'm not taking no buts! I just want you to be my friend." She buried her face into his chest making unable him to see her expression.

A small genuine smile creeped into his face for having his first friend. He muttered out the words "thank you"

It was the same for Xia Xue, she never had any genuine friends either, she was adopted into the imperial family because her family died in battle against monsters and her family was close with the imperial family, so they adopted Xia Xue, her sister, Xia Zhi, is the heir to the throne, and she hated Xia Xue, not even the imperial family showed any compassion for Xue, because of this, Xue never got any real friends.

Xue pulled away from him and asked.

"You said you didn't have a name right? So what should I call you?"

He looked at her and replied "I don't know.."

She sighed as she started thinking, her face lightened up as she pointed her finger at him saying "then your name from now on, will be Ace!" She grinned, proud at herself.

He looked confused as she said a weird name. He said "what.. I'm Ace?"

She thought to herself

'was the name I gave him weird?'

I then looked at her, And smiled. "From now on... I'll be Ace"

it's nice to have a name after all.
