Chapter 051
Focusing on the wall, Xiao aimed to reach the vault as soon as she started running. She has to practice her balance and posture, as what Coach Jake has told her the last time she has showed off what she’s been trying to achieve. But basing upon the coach’s judgement, she still needs refinement in order to reach the goal of having a clean point. That was she wanted, a fine critique from someone she’s looking up to. She was glad to know that Coach Jake isn’t just someone who mentors, but also someone that makes the best out of his experience. Just because he has all the knowledge, well maybe not all, but still he manages to share what he has and tell the others about what he feels in order to carve something out from that person. Because of his words, that person will aim higher from what he should expect. And that person is me. I will aim higher. In order to do that, I should gain more experience. Xiao had thought, as she landed on
Chapter 052“No! Xiao, listen to me,” Hei held her hand when she was about to walk away, “Please hear me out, Xiao,” he called once more but she just keep on shoving away his grips. He didn’t want to use any force, but he thought of nothing else anymore when it was his last ace. He has to do it, otherwise, Xiao would slip away from his hands forever.Xiao, on the other hand, was stoned as her lips touched Hei’s. She was unable to move for a moment as her eyes went big. She stared at him who’s eyes were closed, as if feeling every moment of what he did. Her mind completely went blank as his tongue slid inside, as it started roaming and exploring the edges of her mouth. Hei was so soft and gentle. The kiss didn’t feel aggressive, as he became patient with how it goes. He would wait for Xiao to respond back, but she couldn’t, as it was her first kiss so she didn’t know how. She gasped when she felt her knees weak
Chapter 053Just what Hei said, Xiao was forced to put up an act. When Hei and Wendy are together, even though she really wanted to scream, she wouldn’t. Just for the sake of their relationship. Just for the sake of her family. I couldn’t believe we’re doing this. She had thought upon telling her grandfather about it, but she didn’t want to bother anymore. He is way too old and weak, I don’t wanna stress him much. Her mind crossed upon her aunt’s but she immediately shook her head as she knows that she still couldn’t trust her even though her name was already cleared. Even though it wasn’t her fault at all when her mother was kicked out.“I kicked out your mother because I wanted to. Never did Scarlet make up with such stories. It was me who found out about her affairs. So I did my job. While Scarlet, she’s only telling it to everyone because she’s protecting our family, but it doesn&rs
Chapter 054 A flare of lighting inflicted Xiao’s eyes which made her wake up from unconsciousness. As soon as she did, she immediately feel the throbbing pain from different parts of her body. She could even feel that she has a fresh wound near on the side of her lips. She winced as soon as opened her eyes fully, making her struggle when she realizes that her hands were tied behind a chair as she was seated. The only source of light was the yellow light bulb from a far and the place was unfamiliar when she roamed her eyes around. Suddenly, she heard a noise from her back. And as curious as she was, she turned around even though it was hard to do so. There she saw Hei’s black-eyed face. A tear left from her eye as her chest tightened, instantly making her hard to breathe. Hei must have seen her awakened as the lad tried to catch her attention by making a noise. His very low voice has welcomed her ears the moment she laid her eyes on her. He was also seated on a chair,
Chapter 055A loud churning of a car has both awakened Hei and Xiao from their deep slumber. Hei felt the throbbing pain in various parts of his body. He knew that he really received a big time beating and his body hasn’t recovered from any of those beat ups. Xiao, on the other hand, felt weak as soon as she opened her eyes and found herself with ropes on both hands and feet, making her unable to move. Noticing the surrounding, she was surprised to see herself inside an ignited car. Her mouth was also covered with a piece of clothing as she was unable to speak. Hei made a sound beside her and she turned to face him whose mouth was also covered with a piece of clothing while ropes were also tying both his hands and feet. They were totally trapped inside the car. Once again, she felt crying as soon as she came meeting him face to face. Hei’s eyes were sleepy and his cheeks were swollen, basing from Xiao’s observations, which made her heart sink when she rememb
Chapter 056The angel-looking face of Xiao made her mother laugh at her pouty lips. She was actually asking where they were going but her mother was only giving her some smiles that somehow didn’t make her to be fine. She wanted answers and not those playful smiles. Indignantly, looking at her mother’s side profile, Xiao pursed her lips into thin lines as if she was about to make a bad thing towards her mother. But when the latter turned to face the younger, Xiao was immediate in changing dishevelled appearance and made her face contort.What’s this? Why am I with mother? Is this already what they call after death? Or am I still alive and just having a dream? “What’s wrong, sweetie?” asked Xiao’s mother.“Nothing,” Xiao replied nonchalantly. She veered her eyes towards the bus window and looked at the things they happened to pass by.Why does this place looks so odd and weird? It f
Chapter 057 “Code Nine! What happened, she just suddenly dropped down? Is something wrong with her system?” “We have to check first. I doubt it…” “Why are you doubting?” “I don’t know. This is the first time that happened… it’s unusual.” “Are you sure?” Xiao’s eyes had slowly opened as she hears random voices and it felt weird when she recognized them as somewhat robotic. It just didn’t suit well to her ears. Slowly, she moved her body as soon as she’s awakened from her unconsciousness. She remembered her long dream, and felt weird once again. It was long for her because a lot of things happened inside her dream, as she witnessed various occasions which she has never seen before. It was truly the weirdest dream of all. And my head hurts even until now. I could feel the cracking sound of my skull even if I’m already fully awake… She had thought as she stood up from lying on the floor, which she found odd the moment she did. She
Chapter 058 Xiao couldn’t believe whatever she was hearing at the moment. It seems like she just keep on receiving information, but nothing ever has come into her perception. She still was confused about the things surrounding her, her true identity, what place she was in and the very fact about her mother. “So, you’re basically saying I’m in a complete different dimension?” Xiao incredulously asked as she arched a brow. “Sort of,” The8 nodded with a smile as he suddenly swiped his hand in the air; a three-dimensional image of a globe has projected while floating just above his opened palm, “you’re currently in Universe XXII, the parallel universe with Earth. The trigger happens when the necklace felt you were in danger. This is your mother’s creation. She made this world in order to save you from death. And that explains why you’re here, right now.” Xiao looked at the globe, it was indeed oddly similar to Earth, but she could feel that it was way dif
Chapter 059Passing through the security door system, Xiao exited the room as she steps out to the balcony area. She wasn’t sure if the term was correct as it looks completely different from a ‘normal’ balcony. More like, ‘futuristic-looking’ should be the correct one, but she opted to stick into what she’s been used to. As soon as she leaned over the blue metallic railings, she looked up to the dark vast skies. She sees nothing but darkness as she couldn’t even spot any stars. Universe XXII was completely different even though it was still oddly similar. The world didn’t have any astrological patterns. The moon, the sun, Xiao couldn’t find any of those. Similar with day or night, it didn’t exist too. Instead, everything was surrounded with nothing but darkness. The scientific and mechanical stuffs (best example was the spaceship that they’re currently riding) that produces various types of light rays were the
