Chapter 005
Sighing, Xiao opened her locker when she realized she’s actually on time. She thought she would be late on her class for today. She wasn’t shocked anymore when she saw tons of letters, coloured papers, origamis and even flower petals the moment she opened up the vault’s door. It was flooded with a lot of things that she didn’t even know where they came from. All she knew was, this thing wasn’t new anyway.
“Why do these guys always give stuffs? They don’t even know what are my likes and dislikes,” Xiao whispered to herself when she saw a pink floral piece of paper, perhaps another letter she already knew what’s the content even without actually opening it. Most probably, it would give her nothing but cringe.
Gosh, it’s not just pink, it’s also very detailed with florals! Xiao screamed inside her mind in horror. It’s the thing she abhorred the most. Just by having the sigh
Chapter 006When Xiao entered the court, she sees no one. She was expecting by then for everyone to gather up at the centre of the court, but there was even no single shadow of anyone. Even her coach, she couldn’t find him.“What the heck? Was the reception call a prank? But there’s no way! It’s the reception itself!”Xiao was standing at the centre, seemingly like a lost child of her own. As if she was in a foreign place, she was left flabbergasted and confused.“Okay, everyone, start placing all the things we have prepared! Make sure you will never create any mistake and stick accordingly to the plan!”Just by hearing someone’s voice, Xiao turned to face the main entrance, and there she saw bunch of people coming in with placards, pom-poms, balloons, and any other things. It left an impression to her as to why she was witnessing such thing. Her brows remained clashed as she kept observing everyone&r
Chapter 007“Xiao, listen up,” her mother caressed the back of her head, “you must never lose the necklace and the music box, okay? These two are like your life supporter. Without them, you’ll die.”“Mom, what are you saying?”Shuan was silent; she tried her best not to breakdown in front of her daughter but she failed to do so. The little girl was confused, but she started crying also as soon as her mother’s face was full of tears.“I may not be able to see you again, that’s why I’m doing this for a chance to be with you.”“Mom, I don’t understand,” Xiao kept wailing as her loud cries became louder and louder.Shuan just closed her eyes as she hugged her daughter, “Xiao, be a good girl, okay? Especially to your grandfather. I love you so much, my princess.”“I love you, too, Mom. Please don’t leave me.”&ldqu
Chapter 008Everyone all started digging up their food. Xiao was mixing her curry sauce to her rice ball as she finds it very delicious. She always did this when she was young; and her mother would always cook chicken curry every time she would request. Another precious memory she could never let go.“Oh Xiao? You like mixing curry with rice?” asked her coach.“Yes, coach. It’s my favorite back in the old days. I’m so thankful you ordered this for me.”“Wow. I can’t believe it because we’re the same. I’m glad then we have the same taste.”“Really? You like curry with rice too? Wah, I thought I was the only one! Because before, Yerin always hated it when I eat curry with rice in front of her!” Xiao delightedly reminisced the memory of her best friend, as her eyes landed onto Hei’s; and for the second time around today, it felt surreal. They stared at each other, know
Chapter 009Xiao woke up wherein she still feels half-asleep. An enigma of her being in a dizzy state and having a dark grey vision made her feel nauseous. She was rubbing her eyes still, feeling the itchiness it offers and the urge of wanting it to be gone in an instant. Although feeling dizzy, she still managed her way up and tried getting away from the bed. As soon as she did, that’s when her head strikes a pain, causing an instant halt for her body as soon as the aching delved deeper. Damn it. A hangover. That’s when some realizations hit up; scenes of certain memory flashed through her eyes; vivid yet evanescent.A small growl escaped from Xiao’s lips while she was caressing the top of her head, messing her hair a little. She winced as the aching dived in once again, causing her to feel triple of the pain than the first one. She kept growling and wincing which made her sit down on the top of the duvet of her bed. She even let out a huge
Chapter 010The approaching Hei Xuan made Jun somewhat uneasy. He didn’t know what was the exact reason but he somehow felt that it was wrong. And that he should do something about it. But for what reason? Jun had thought. As there’s nothing initial to think about, it was just simply a gut feel that Hei Xuan shouldn’t be here.“Oh finally, you came back. We really thought you already ditched us,” Jun watched Wendy’s words and the urge of stopping her to further talk made Jun really uncomfortable as he didn’t know he’s supposed to do it. Knowing him, he wasn’t the type of person minding others’ businesses.“I’m sorry if it took me a while. I just had some call to take.”“Hmm. Do you perhaps have a lot of girls? That was your excuse too earlier when the dinner started.”“No,” Hei simply answered, indicating he didn’t want the conversat
Chapter 011Xiao was still in deep thoughts about the incident happened yesterday, lurking at the idea of how could she manage to perish in an instant. She knew that it was really the end of everything, and she didn’t know how she could even manage to get away from the embarrassment. It was too much to handle. A soft knock from the door made Xiao’s thoughts scramble, although, she wasn’t in the right state to face the person behind its wooden walls. Thinking at how miserable she was, she just couldn’t dare to. The soft knocks became stronger as the person behind started calling out for her name, “Miss Xiao... Miss Xiao... are you already awake? It’s time for your breakfast. I’m gonna open the door now.”She wanted to shout and tell her to not open the door, but she’s already too late because her maid was already inside her room. Xiao looked at the maiden in uniform as she was holding a tray filled with food—an
Chapter 012Yamato’s fingers twitched as soon as he felt waking up. The man was comfortably laying down on its own hospital bed albeit the fact that his body hurts like hell, he was still elated to see himself opening his own eyes as he witnessed the whole white ceilings. He marvelled upon the fact that he could move still although his movements were totally limited. He looked around the room, but he couldn’t move his head as he noticed his neck was supported with a cervical collar, preventing him to perform head turns. He used his eyes to search the room, and was even happier to see someone sleeping on the hospital bed, its head wasn’t facing towards him and he could only see the hair but he already knew who it was. It wasn’t because of guessing, but it came from his heart. He knew by heart whom it was elated for.“Xiao... my princess...” he called out, as he tried reaching the top of her head, although it took time because he could
Chapter 013Clutching her necklace, Xiao had practically made herself hidden behind her backpack albeit it wasn’t much of help as she was walking down the benches of the covered court. She was covering just her face using her backpack, silently praying to remain unnoticed. But, realizing that the goddess of luck wouldn’t always help her in times of need, she heavily sighed as soon as she was called by her name. And the fact that it wasn’t coming from just a single person’s voice, made her panic internally.“Xiao! Xiao! Come here! We’re here!” group of people were chanting those words and Xiao was taken aback when she realized the owners of the voices. She turned her head in a snap, investigated her surroundings, and especially, started searching for the faces of people whom she didn’t expect to see. Although it was already confirmed by their voices, but she was still immobilized as soon as her eyes met theirs. ‘
