While Yanlong was involved in chatting with her friends, Rufeng concentrated on retrieving the cactus thorns from the corridor.
Yanlong jumped back in fright when one of the cactus thorns came flying at her pointy side down.
She glared at Rufeng, then returned to talking with her friends.
Rufeng concentrated this time, even so, he was barely able to stop the thorn from smacking him in the face with it’s flatside.
Though one says flat side, the cactus thorns are as long as a man’s arm, and almost an inch thick. The pointy side glinted wickedly, almost like a metal.
The flat side looked like a roughly broken branch, f
“ Shhh!!!!!” Yanlong gestured with all of her being, frowning at Huo Mei. Huo Mei was shocked into silence for a moment but only a moment. “ Baby! It’s dangerous here. Where are your parents ? Wait !!! Who are your parents ? “ she asked, kneeling down on the floor in a squat, making sure she’s avoiding the filth on the floor. When Huomei is level with Yanlong, she made her face as kind as possible, so as to not scare the little girl. Yanlong finally realized, perhaps Huomei’s face is half the reason for her misfortunes in her life. HuoMei is very beautiful, but it’s a kind of overbearing, domineering beauty. Despite trying to make her face look as kind as possible, she only looked like a fox demon trying to trick a child inorder to eat her. ‘ my poor friend! ‘ Yanlong lamented for a moment, even as she sneered at her. Huomei could not hold her kind face for long. The sneer on the three year old baby’s face, as if she is looking down on the entire world is all too funny. She h
Long long time ago, the apocalypse came. Many died. Some changed. Few thrived. Bai yan long did not belong to any of the above groups. She belonged to a rarer group of people, aptly named “losers”. Losers are people who did not receive any visible benefits from the changes apocalypse brought. Believe me, Everyone changed one way or another. In spite of the lame name, Yan long is quite proud to belong to this group, for it meant she survived impossible odds. She may have lost out on getting
“Ahhh” Yanlong screamed as she woke up. Faces she has not seen in ten years surrounded her. “Are you awake?” Bi yu asked sarcastically. Yanlong looked around. Meibing is on her chair, flipping through a magazine. Mingzhu is doing nail treatment. Biyu is sneering at her. Huo Mei is staring at her. All her university classmates. All with their own super powers and sob stories.
Yanlong opened the cardboard box.The box is full of classy looking packers peanuts, signifying whatever's inside, it’s fairly expensive.Not snacks then.Probably a designer bag?However, designer bags this small do not exist.Probably jewelry?That’s some insidious plan from HuoMei’s stepmom.A designer bag, even if it’s very expensive, probably is an amount bearable for a rich family.However, Jewelry is di
Huomei, after thinking for some time, decided to go along with Yan long's suggestion.She complained to her father about pocket money.It was just throwing an arrow into the dark, yet, unexpectedly, it worked.She asked her father why her step mother decided to give her a present meant for those in their sixties.Did she intend to imply that her father did not care about her at all, so she better not talk to her father? Did she intend to make her lose face in front of all her friends? Or does she mean to send her off as early as possible, like those old people?Obviously, HuoMei did not make sense as she got to the end of her complaining, but he
All of them were startled by the raucous sound.It is a peacock's cry.It startled not just their group, but some of the passersby too. It's not common to keep peacock's cry as the ringtone.Yanlong looked at her phone, checked the latest text she received.Someone responded to her apocalypse blog.She set the special alarm for the blog.They go to the same university as her and they want to meet her tomorrow.Yanlong sent her assent. She did not expect she would find a comrade in arms.
Yanlong is glad her mother is at least willing to listen and make preparations to survive the apocalypse.Ofcourse, a major part of the success of this plan is owed to the non-existent prize money. Plus, her little brother’s dramatic introduction!On top of it, her father is an extremely competitive person. He could not resist a competition where he can win and show off to people.He is a museum curator, any Television exposure is good for his career at this point. He is jumping at the chance, Just as Yanlong expected."Mother. There are few simple preparations.Take note; It’s more important to check all the ticks on the specific preparatio
Just like that, it's dawn of Christmas eve. The count down to what's sarcastically termed Christmas gift has turned from days to hours. She's meeting her fellow believer this morning.Yanlong couldn't help but be a little excited. Two hands are always better than one.Soon, two boys stopped nearby, looked at Yanlong's table like someone killed their cat. One looked like a senior, other a little younger than a freshman.It must be rare baby faced one, Yanlong thought as she looked at him.She called the friends who said they will meet her today. The older one's phone rang. They both looked as if they are fortifying themselves to face the devil it self as they reached the seats in front of her step by step. Yanlong smiled at them."CutieSale and LoneWolf?""Yes." they both answered.Yanlong subtly checked their expressions. They are disappo
