As the morning light seeped through the trees, Mia slowly opened her eyes, greeted by the familiar sight of her surroundings. With a wry chuckle, she mumbled to herself, "Here I am again, under this tree all by myself. I hope there isn't another execution by the leaders happening today. Oh, dear."As she prepared to rise from the ground, someone called out her name. "Mia, stay there," came the command.Turning, Mia spotted Lin approaching, trailed by the leaders. Upon reaching her, Lin sat down beside her, earning stern glares from the leaders. "What's happening?" Mia inquired, seeking an explanation. The leaders greeted her, and Mia courteously returned their greetings."Mia, are you alright now? If you're feeling sick, tell me," Lin asked, showing concern for her well-being."Hey, behave yourself. You can't call her by her name disrespectfully," admonished the Phoenix leader, directing her anger at Lin."It's okay. No need to be angry with him. He's my friend. I asked him to call me t
After finishing breakfast, they went to inspect the diverse sets of herbs brought by the leaders. Lin followed Mia in the process. Mia got busy analyzing the herbs, in meanwhile, Lin was busy observing Mia. She noticed his gaze and looked back at him. Calling out to him, she said, "Lin, come here."Approaching her, Lin remarked, "Mia, you've gathered quite a lot of herbs here. Feels like I've stepped into the laboratory of a Chinese Medicine expert."Mia grinned, "I can't call you wrong; the abundance of herbs does create that impression. But, I need to discuss something important with you."Nodding in acknowledgment, Lin added, "I'm all ears, you may speak..."Mia led the way, and Lin followed. They strolled until they reached a beautiful garden outside the lab, where Mia sat on the ground, Lin joining her. Gazing at the sky, Mia started the conversation, "You must be aware of the diseases spreading among the beasts."He nodded, "I've heard and also learned that you informed the lead
Grandpa Wen smiled, "You both are fated to meet each other. I am not harming anyone but doing what should be done." Mia frowned, "Grandpa, what do you mean by fated?"He looked at her, "Right now stop thinking about this matter and think about your mate. Lin is a good kid. Don't break your friendship with him."Mia looked frustrated, "But Grandpa..."He left without any other word.Lin was sitting on a chair close to the windows of the room. He was looking at the sky. In his hands was a picture frame. He looked down at the frame, "Mom, I finally found someone who cares about me like you and Mi. She looks a lot like Mi and that's why I want to stay beside her more. I know Mi is dead but thinking that she is alive relieves my pain of guilt a bit. If that day I had saved her, then today I won't be like this."He smiled, "Mia is like a bright moon in my life. The same as the one in the dark sky. From the first moment I met her, I felt like my Mi is back. How can two people look so much
"Can I come in?", Mr. Martin asked.Mia replied while looking at some files, "Sure, Mr. Martin." He entered, "I was here to thank you for doingall the arrangements for my stay. It is a thank you gift from me." She looked up. He was holding a bouquet to her.In the meanwhile, Lin was going to enter the office room but he stopped at the sight of Liam Martin holding a bouquet to Mia. He saw them from the slightly opened door left by Liam. Mia smiles and takes the bouquet, "Thank you for this but there was no need for it. I just did what I was supposed to. By the way, what would you like to have ?" He smiled, "Oh, no need for that. I know that you are going to have a meeting after a little while so, I won't be bothering you anymore. I will be leaving then."He went away. When he opened the door Lin was standing there. He chuckled at his sight.Liam closed the door behind himself.He looked into Lin's eyes and whispered, "Stay away from her."He went away. Lin's hands turned into fist
Mia finished the observation early and then went back to her home.Cheng and Liana were at school. She changed her clothes and freshen up. Then she went to the kitchen and began to prepare lunch. In the meanwhile, Grandma Wen came."Mia dear, you came back early", the old woman said.Mia smiled, "It's just that I had no work to do. Starting from tomorrow I will be going to school." Grandma Wen went to the refrigerator and put the vegetables in there that she had brought."That's great but sometimes I think that you don't need to study. You are already an intelligent person even more intelligent than your teachers", she told her.Mia took the vegetables and began to cut them, "Grandma, I want to do everything like normal people. Even if I am intelligent but still there are some things that I need to learn. I don't want others to regard me as someone different from them. I want to be like others. I want to experience what others my age do.""You are right that you should also experien
Lin was standing there and watching them. Liana hit the ball and it came towards Lin. He grabbed it with his hand.Liana came to him, "Mr. Yang, I...I am sorry. I didn't mean to hit you."He gave back her the ball," it's fine. I wasn't hit at all and one more thing call me Brother from now on as I am your sister's friend."She nodded."You came early", Mia said.Lin smiled, "I was just free so, I thought about coming in advance. Don't mind me and continue playing."Cheng came to Mia, "Sister, I am tired now. Let's eat the dessert."He wiped his sweat with his sleeve. Liana spoke, "He is right sister, Let's eat the dessert. Mr. Ya... I mean brother Lin can also join us."Mia looked at Lin, "Do you accept my sibling's offer?"He nodded, "If you don't mind.""Then follow us in", she told him.She turned towards the twins, "You both first put all the bats and balls back." Mia went to the kitchen while the three of them were waiting for her at the dining table.She came to the dining ro
"But you had never attended any of our family's events. Then why this time?", he asked her.She looked at him, "So, you don't want me to come?""It's not that I was just curious. That's great that you are coming. I will be looking forward to your presence", he told her with a smile.The next day, Mia got ready for school. When she entered the school gate, all students were staring at her and were excited to see her. Some girls were jealous of her.She looked really beautiful in that uniform with her hair tied into a ponytail as usual. She was like a celebrity in her school.She would look even cuter with the glasses she wore. She had a bit of weak eyesight so, sometimes she would wear those glasses.She was the most intelligent student among all the high school students. Currently, she was a student in her last year of high school.Because of her intelligence, she skipped classes in her junior school.Mia ignored the gazes of students and teachers. She went to the class and sat in
The ball soon started. Mia and the twins removed their masks. The whole Hall was shocked to see Mia. The Yang Family members rushed to welcome them. The first round of dance started. Mia told Cheng to dance first with Liana.Mia was standing there with Lin. Lin looked at her and smiled, "Umm... Beautiful lady, will you give me the honor to dance with you."Mia chuckled and gave him her hand, "Sure."He kissed her hand and took her to the center of the Hall. They both began to dance. The Hall was filled with whispers. They looked like a beautiful couple.Everyone's gazes were fixed on them. The first round ended but they were still dancing."We should stop. The round is over", Mia whispered to Lin.He smiled, "I am aware but I can't stop myself. Let's have this second round together as well."They were looking into each other's eyes and continued the dance with the flow of the music.Everyone around them stopped dancing. They were the only ones dancing. Liam's hands clenched into fis
