Chapter 075
“The invaders came. They are after you so that they can seize this world. I don’t want that to happen. We have to find a way out.”
“But I’ve been here for a long time, why they just come now?”
“I don’t have any idea either. Maybe this is Eula’s doing.”
Xiao wasn’t able to speak upon the mention of her name. The8 noticed that, but he didn’t further discuss anything about it as they just kept on running. They finally reached the spaceship at the near end.
“Is this Cheska?” asked Xiao to which The8 agreed, she smiled as she says, “it’s been a long time.”
As soon as they entered the ship, Cheska greeted them with an enthusiastic voice although it is very clear that she was just an AI. They walked towards the center area which then she spotted Asphalt and Code Nine the next time. She called their names enthusiastically as she dropped
Epilogue Xiao’s eyes felt like twirling. She sees nothing but darkness. Her head gone dizzy as she slowly closed her eyes. But before she could even do it, a tantamount light enveloped her surroundings and the next thing she knew, the lightning has became vivid enough to make her cover her face. The light wasn’t simply just a light, it was blinding enough. When she tilted her head to the side, that’s when she realized where the light was coming from. The necklace. Xiao’s eyes widened in shock upon realizing she found her necklace once again. The last time she saw this was when she thought she’ll be already dead. But then, it showed itself this time again. She touched it without hesitation as she felt a tingling sensation which made her body electrified. Something has came inside her body by her own gut feeling, and the next thing she knew, she was already slowly succumbed to unconsciousness as things became dark in an instant. “W-
Chapter 000The 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 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.“It’s a surprise, honey. Don’t be mad about it, you’ll eventually know, okay?”“I just want to know,” she softly whispered while hugging her teddy bea
Chapter 001It was yet another day for Xiao, exaggerated but it was nothing near to be an extraordinary one. She’s feeling disheartened by this time and isn’t happy for the fact that she’s here again, standing in front of the world. People were around; everyone’s eyes were pointed at her. And yet, she’s feeling empty. She didn’t want to be here although people were really cheering for her.“Xiao Lee! Xiao Lee!”She gazed, looked up for someone; and her heart’s pounding like crazy. She wasn’t supposed to be that nervous. This day was supposed to be an another yet simple day. It wasn’t supposed to make her feel excited.But when her eyes met her father’s everything didn’t seem worthless anymore. Something was glazed upon the damaged cupcake—bloody and dangerous, but tasty and delicious—an image that bypassed her current scenario, making her feel nostalgic abou
Chapter 002“Daddy!” a loud cheerful voice came out from Xiao’s little mouth, “Daddy!” as she ran towards a slouching figure, perhaps getting ready for the arrival of his daughter’s hug, “Daddy!”“Xiao, my little girl,” a huge warm hug embraced Xiao’s tiny body. She’s turning eighteen in few months but her body still looked like an elementary student, “I’m so proud of you.”Xiao refrained from the hug and faced her father with a huge smile, “I’m doing all of these because of you anyway. And for Mom, too,” she gleamed at the thought of mentioning her mother.I miss Mom so much. I wanna see her already.Yamato, on the other hand, seemed gloomy at the mention of his wife. Xiao noticed the sudden change of his expressions and she became concerned about it, “What’s wrong, Dad?”“I’m sorry to tell you,
Chapter 003“Miss Xiao,” a lady in maid outfit came inside her room after a few knows on the door, “it’s time.”Pursing her lips into thin lines, she turned to face her lamp shade that was placed above the side cabinet. Her eyes landed upon the small glint of gold—the knob of the cabinet.She pulled the knob and slowly, it showed the most precious thing she would never wanted to lose.The birthday gift from her mother. An antique music box. It was given to her when she was still eight. The day when her mother got kicked out of the household. The starting day wherein she no longer anticipated her upcoming birthdays.That time she had no idea what was happening. All she witnessed was a quarrel between her mother and her aunt. A scenario she never would have understood if she hadn’t grew up.“Are you ready, Miss Xiao?”“Well, I am,” Xiao turned to face the maid as soon as
Chapter 004 “News flash! Former child athlete in the field of gymnastics is back on the track!” “Daily news report! Mr. Hei Xuan, also known as the best young teen athlete during his times, is now coming back to what he has left behind!” “Mr. Hei Xuan was said to be China’s Representative for this year’s World Championship, competing against other qualified gymnasts!” For the past days that had passed, all television reports, news magazines, social medias and even on billboards, all of them were saying the same thing. For over a period of time, everything was all the same, as if they were songs being played on repeat. Hella annoying. As what Xiao commented on the latest post she has seen on social media. Everywhere and every single time, she sees no one but Hei Xuan. “He wasn’t even that good before, tsk. But y’all are getting crazy over some guy who went completely hiatus.” Xiao was mumbling towards herself as turned
Chapter 005Sighing, 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
