Chapter 021
Skipping her usual crop tops, Xiao decided to change her to-go outfit for today: a cream beige knitted turtle neck body-hugging sweater tucking it in her plain white pencil skirt. As today is a special day where she has to be more formal, she grabbed her dark gray coat as she finished everything with a knee high black socks paired with a pair of midnight black ankle boots. She looked into the mirror as she examined herself. Flashing a smile, she realized the outfit suited her more. She didn’t know she would like this as this might have been the first time she ever tried wearing one. Usually, she would go for crop tops and jeans as her comfortable clothing line, but admittedly, changing some of your habitual things could be a good thing. And this one has been good for a change. Before heading out, she quickly snapped out her black purse that was laying atop on her side table. She looked at the mirror once again before she hung the purse over her right shoulde

Chapter 022Flashing a smile, Xiao entered the hospital as she greeted the guard, nurses and doctors she had met half way through towards the VIP area. After the heartfelt talk she had with Mr. Wilson, she realized she was already late for the scheduled time. Her father clearly told her not to be late, but look at it now, she’s walking nonchalantly as if she’s not running out of time. Who cares anyway, Xiao had thought as she slipped inside the VIP lounge leading to the personalized built-in restaurant. The Tatsunumi family member was the one who built the hospital, including her own attended university. It was personally built according to Xiao’s great grandfather’s taste in interior designs, Tobayashi Tatsunumi, who became a well-known architect during his time. He may be the person behind of those two famous infrastructures, but since one of them was sold to someone after its completion, so the sole owner of Kiyachi University wasn’t

Chapter 023It took about ten minutes for Xiao to return back to her seat. The people were loudly talking to each other as if there’s no tomorrow. Xiao couldn’t even understand the topic. As soon as she was seated, her father greeted her and she just responded the same. Unlike other businessmen, Xiao noticed that her father was the peculiar one as he seemed to be the most matured compare to others who acted so comfortably as if they’re just staying in their homes. When it comes to her father, he’s the complete opposite. He’s such a fine man; as she watched him slicing the steak so delicately. Xiao couldn’t hide her smiles as she stared at him. He was looking down but his eyelashes were still evident. He looked so calm amidst the danger he has been into recently. It’s as if he got no problems running inside his mind. He’s the actual type of a man that Xiao wants. The calm yet serious type. How she wished she could actually find s

Chapter 024“Hoping to see you back in the university!”Those were the last words from Jun before he ran off. They kept ringing in Xiao’s ears, non-stop. She started to think about it over, whether she should go back to the university when the graduation is fast approaching. Her father was never against with her decision when she wanted to be homeschooled and he also never discuss about it furthermore; he just directly asked for the school’s director in charge about that matter and the request was fast approved. But now that she’s thinking about it, she also needs to spend her remaining days in the university and not at home. It would be another humiliation if she’d just attend on the graduation day which can be very embarrassing yet once again.“You think so? Then why the hell this happened?”Xiao was snapped back to reality when she heard someone shout. Her mind processed its voice and she immediately took

Chapter 025The only person that comes to Xiao’s mind, the only capable one, and the only she’s very sure that she could put her trust into, seems to be slipping away. It made her heart sink as she listened to his words. She couldn’t accept it but she has to, if it’s his choice.“Lady Xiao, I have thought about what you have said to me,” looking straight to her eyes, Mr. Wilson never looked away, as he continued his words, “You said you will freely let me go if I would want to.”“Yes, I did say that.”“Thank you so much, Lady Xiao. I have served you enough, my family served you enough, so I want to be away. Freely.”“If that’s what you want,” Xiao tried her best not to stop Mr. Wilson. She may be in need of help regarding her aunt, but if he wants to leave, she couldn’t do anything about that. That would only mean she’s a great pretender if she wou

Chapter 026 It was yet another tiring day for Xiao as she has come to face the hardest challenge of balancing herself on the beam. She has to perform artistic actions while she would need not to fall down from the beam. It’s really almost impossible for her as she didn’t consider herself a professional gymnast. That’s why she has to outdo her previous records on this day which Mr. Jake had suggested because if it won’t happen today, the time would run out as they only have a month away for her most anticipated competition. Xiao sighed heavily before she closed her eyes. She inhaled and exhaled in order to calm and to not make herself be dead due to severe nervousness. The fact that she’s also anxious at the moment, makes it even harder for her. As she opened her eyes, she started running towards the beam and did a forward front flip as she landed on its solid top. She started moving on the balance beam; her legs move one after another, resulting a smooth, flu

Chapter 027Xiao was snapped back to reality as soon as she heard Mr. Wilson’s voice calling out her name for the nth time. The lad did not have any idea how many times he called for her, “You seemed to be so in deep thoughts, Lady Xiao.”“I just remembered something. Sorry if I was so out of my mind,” she even waved a smile on her face just to remove the awkwardness between them, “by the way, where’s coach?” she asked when she noticed Mr. Jake was longer standing beside her.“He excused himself for a while. I think he went outside as he received a call.”“Oh I see. I didn’t notice that.”“As I said, you were so in deep thoughts.”I was just reminiscing what happened yesterday, Mr. Wilson, you were such a cry-baby, Xiad said at the back of her mind, almost spitting them out externally. Good thing, her thoughts had remained only within her. She
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 028
Chapter 028Xiao couldn’t keep up as to how many times she already sighed in front of her university’s gates. She kept looking back, but she couldn’t even proceed to walk away like what has been ruining her proposed plans. She’s already here, so the purpose wasn’t to get away but to face it with confidence. That was her father had said to her. It would be her only opportunity to finally get back to her pace, as she keeps moving, she needed to own her self-confidence. In that way, people’s prejudices of her will be deemed wrongful. As her father said, she should prove everyone that she’s greater than them. She shouldn’t be embarrassed; she makes what she is. And by proving everyone that she has something they don’t, that would only make them even jealous, but she shouldn’t get affected instead she should hold her crown even higher as they’d strike her down. People always have something to say; nevertheless, it s
Xiao, the Soulwaker Chapter 029
Chapter 029 Like what Xiao had expected as soon as she came inside the campus premises, all eyes of people were pointed towards her. They weren’t saying anything, but it was all obvious. If looks could talk, she would know how their minds have been working. But just like what her father had said, she shouldn’t be faltered instead keep her head high. She followed her father’s advice, it somehow made her feel better although deep inside she’s still afraid of criticism; of how people were never tired of pointing out her mistakes but never her good deeds. She succeeded upon entering her first class, which was General Mathematics, but after finding out that the teacher couldn’t make it, the class was immediately forfeited. Everyone cheered and were delighted to exit the room as soon as possible. Xiao just looked at them walking away, as she remained seated, unable to speak up her thoughts. Pursing her lips, she moved her chair forward as she laid her head down onto the ta
