"You did all this only to bring ho?" Choi Kang So asked as the arrived in the car. "Making sure that her school would hold a school trip to smoke out and then letting your subordinate to blabbers of your coming here?" his smirks with sarcasm.
"You can say that." Choi Yeon Jun fixed the black gloves on his hand that beca loose and saw Zheng Xi Shi and Chengye his second-in-command walking behind.
"He ca." Chengye spokes laying his hand over his head. "He's quite a quick one, you know? The whole park has his subordinates swarming all over after only a slight hint that the young lady is being followed."
"We should go now, master." Zheng Xi Shi kept his calm decision.
Ignoring his brother's subordinate's report, Choi Kang So continued. "Why did you do it in such a roundabout way?" Choi Kang So saw him lifting his brow and continued. "You know many other than way than this to bring back without having to involve Nuna."
"Who knows?" he chuckled and to rewind Xiao Yun's smiling face. "Because I missed her too much?" he replied with an unsure tone as though he was questioning himself, making Choi Kang So to beco more confused. He wasn't the type of man who would answer in such a roundabout way but this ti, he could see his sincerity behind his tone.
People say pure evil is sothing to be feared of and it was true, Choi Kang So knew it very well. He had seen the pure evil within his brother evolving slowly. He used his feelings even though he had none and when he found Xiao Yun who was able to move his entire being, his previous self felt shaken. There was only one way for him to get himself back to track and that's to have Xiao Yun in his own hand.
"Stop your blab now go in we have a flight to catch on." Choi Yeon Jun continued and closed the car door with a light slam.
On the other hand, Xiao Yun who finally seen the clever ssage Choi Kang So wrote looked across her shoulder and fixed her unstable gaze at Wang Li Lei.
"Li Lei..." Her voice quivered out of shock.
Wang Li Lei's gentle eyes scanned the aggravated expression on her face and glanced over to her phone. "Are you alright?" His worries took over his voice, giving both warmth and coldness.
Xiao Yun pulled herself together giving a slow nod. "Ye-"
"I told you not to hide anything didn't I?" A stern voice ca to her ears.
Xiao Yun turned down her face. She didn't an to hide the ssage that she received from Choi Kang So nor that she was trying to act tough. But her habit of hiding her fear as it was her weakness ca over her again. "I didn't an to do so." She whispered.
A man in the crowd laughed aloud and was pushed to the back toward Xiao Yun. Wang Li Lei placed his hand on her shoulder and glared at the insect in detest. He was clearly in a bad mood and now soone had touched Xiao Yun, the murderous gaze mixed up with his eyes, beaming with anger.
Feeling fear catching up to him, the man had a dark expression as he apologized and ran away. "I- I... I'm sorry!"
Xiao Yun turned to look at the man who apologized and felt his hand covering his eyes. "Let's go sowhere else."
Xiao Yun followed his steps quietly, still trying to form her thought and how it was possible that Choi Yeon Jun was able to appear on her phone. But what her brain couldn't or perhaps didn't want to realize was the ssage that he left.
'Hyung is here, Nuna he rembers everything. Escape from here.'
Hyung that he ant directed to only one person, Choi Yeon Jun. Rember everything must be the past.
'Then, is it possible that he- has started his plan?' Xiao Yun bit the inner of her cheeks and her steps stopped instantly. Finally understanding how weird it was for her school trip that wasn't supposed to happen in the past, a conclusion almost dried her blood. A numbness ca over her head and her ears couldn't hear all the laughter that was near her before. She felt as though she was capture in a narrow dark box without light.
"Xiao Yun?" Wang Li Lei's voice ca to her ears, saving her before she drowned in her mind. Like a ray of light, he took her out from the dark boss instantly.
She turned up to see that they had arrived in the highest place of the nearest hill. The view of the night sky and the rides in the the park aglow from its small colorful lights. From her view, it reminded her of stars staying on the ground. A small bench was placed near the place.
Wang Li Lei took light steps toward the bench and sat to invite her in. "Co here." He said to reach his palm for her to take.
Xiao Yun felt her uneasiness blown by him. She took his hand and seated next to him to lean her head on her shoulder. "Have you cald down?"
"Yes." Xiao Yun replied. The man beside her had the power to ease her, be it out of her uneasiness and her fear.
"The sponsor to your school trip, it's Choi Yeon Jun." He looked at her, softly tightening the grip on his palm. "By seeing your expression, I guess you have co to the sa conclusion. What did you see that make you this frightened? Him-?" A bloodthirsty gaze covered his black eyes.
He didn't co to the place by chance, he received an anonymous tip from a person saying that Choi Yeon Jun would be arriving at the place where she was. When he received the news, his heart felt cold. He called his people from the capital to Hangzhou in a precedent speed, warning them to never let anyone touch Xiao Yun and protect her at all cost.
Xiao Yun shook her head. "No." She pulled her phone and showed it for him to see. Wang Li Lei brushed his scrutinizing gaze on the young man's face before braking it to see the note on his hand. It was a Korean Letter that he knew how to read. The Hyung he ntioned must be Choi Yeon Jun while Nuna was Xiao Yun.
"He ca here. He rembers everything, but how?" Xiao Yun's unfocused eyes moved around, her straight brows sloped down. "He's not soone who would do anything without reason. Li Lei, we should go now, no- we should first think of a way for him not to see you. And then, we sh-"
He held her palm that had been trembling all over and coaxed gently. "Calm down. My n are here. In a very conspicuous place, he shouldn't be able to do anything here." Even in the midst of fear, her first thought was to find a way to protect him.
Xiao Yun pulled herself together. "You're right." She murmured.
"And, I have sothing to tell you. I'm running for the next successor of Dargon Group."
Xiao Yun gazed up and repeated. "Dragon Group? The Chinese Mafia Group?"
"If you know it, it would be faster for to explain. After I walk out of Wang Family's house, Suan Shifu took in. Suan Shifu is the head of the Dragon Group." He explained.
Xiao Yun rembered that Wang Li Lei and his family didn't have a good relationship but to be raised by the dragon group, the top group of the underworld she didn't know of it. There were still many of her mory in the past that she hasn't yet rembered and one of them was Wang Li Lei's past.
"The Dragon Group successor? But you are not his descendant." Xiao Yun rembered that the Mafia Group prioritized blood relations to the people who would beco the head.
"Suan Shifu doesn't have family and he has seen like his own son." Wang Li Lei felt a clench over his suit and saw her burying her head.
"It's too dangerous." She whispered with care.
For Wang Li Lei who have less relation with the Mafia Group to beco the successor, many people would definitely protest to acknowledge him. Disputes and even war between other groups could arouse. Xiao Yun in the past had stayed beside Choi Yeon Jun and had experienced how frightening and crude they were.
Her eyes downcasted with worries. Although she believed that Wang Li Lei wouldn't be defeated by anyone she couldn't let her beloved to be harm because of that Demon.
"Xiao Yun, this isn't your matter alone. It's ours. Now that we know he rembers everything, sooner and later we would have to face him." Xiao Yun knew what he ant and she understood it, but at the least, she hoped that she wouldn't involve him again. He covered her shoulder with his arm. "Belief in I would never let the past repeat again." He swore.
She did believe him and there has never been once when she didn't believe him but what she can't believe was the Demon who would do anything to get her.
Xiao Yun balled her hand into a fist she straightened her arched back and placed her hands over his shoulder to et his eyes. "I promise I will protect you."
Tears freezing upon her eyes glittered from the light glowing behind her. How could she beco so strong? He asked himself. Xiao Yun was undeniably fragile but she never wanted to show her own weakness. For her to be able to show her fear was because the man in front of her was him. If she was currently with her friends, she would never show how frightened she was and would do anything to protect people who she treasured.
It wasn't out of conscious that she didn't want to burden soone else, it was sothing that she did subconsciously. He knew she had tried many ways to change this part of her and had shown improvent, but changing her personality wasn't sothing easy for her to let go.
She didn't slouch back into her fear. She was strong, strong enough to crawl out from her trauma of the past, the fear, and the mory that he didn't have.
He held her forearm to bring her face toward him and kissed her gently to run his thumb over her chin. "That's my words, silly." He slipped out a chuckle.
Xiao Yun hugged him and leaned her weight on to him. "I will protect you and you will protect . With that, we should be the shield and weapon for each other."
"Good words." He whispered to her ears at the sa ti when fireworks blood to the sky. Twinkling sparks of the fireworks twirled in the air before another one shooting up in sequence after a loud boom. The beautiful scene behind them didn't matter to his eyes as it only adorned the girl's beauty in the dark.
"Let's go back." Wang Li Lei suggested and saw her nodding. On their way back to bring Xiao Yun to her group, Wang Li Lei asked. "I heard that you have made a contract with the fabric company. What happened?"
"It seems trouble arose and the owner had to close the shop, but I stopped it before it happen and made a contract while I was at it." Xiao Yun replied with a bright smile to cheer herself.
"If there is anything I can help, don't forget to call ." He reminded.
"Mn." She wanted to nuzzle up to his gentleness or perhaps bath into his warmness while she was at it.
Being with him, she felt she can overco anyone and everything that was in their way.
This would be the last ti.
The last ti for her to fear the person called Choi Yeon Jun.
