"Mrs. Lin! I have told you before, you should be careful with this project. There're so many people out there who want this job. Hmm...please write it again!"
My boss lectured me for almost 2 hours. Actually the mistake i made wasn't big, it's just his personality which is rotten inside. Oops. Honestly, i have reached my limit long ago. But because it's so difficult to find another job, i have to throw my pride. Oh come on, i need money so i can't eat with my pride only.
After that, I came back to my desk and begin to finish my report before his anger came again. It was almost midnight when i finished my report. I turned off my computer, grab my bag and go home. I lived in a boarding house near my office so i just walked to reach home. Although it was almost midnight, this city became more crowded. There were many people who just came back from their work. So i didnt feel scare to walk alone.
Ah, i haven't introduced my self. My name is Lin. Just 'Lin'. Yesterday i reached the first quarter in my life *25 years old*. I'm working in one of ministry office. It's a nice job for me but its salary is low. I live by myself here. Because most of my friends don't work in this city, so i rarely go out. I always spend my day alone reading manga in my room. Actually i'm a sociable person. I have ton of friends during my college day. But lately I just prefer being alone. I don't know why but i feel my life is so boring. I never feel like this before. It seems i need a new environment.
"Please someone, take me anywhere~" At that time i didnt know that i would regret my words.
I stopped my step when i saw a granny was pushed and fall. Her groceries were scattered on the floor. Although the street was crowded but noone was bothered to help her. And then her eyes met mine. Sigh, no choice. I picked up her groceries and give them back to her.
"Thank you, dear. You're so kind." That granny said and smile to me.
"Oh i'm not kind. It just you fell near me. It's not a big deal."
"No, dear. You're kind. Others knew that i fell but they chose to ignore me." She smiled again and then take a beautiful jade pendant from her pocket and give it to me. "This is for you, dear. A reward for helping me."
"Wow, it's so beautiful. Is it okay? It seems it's so precious to you." Although it was beautiful but it looked old. Or maybe ancient.
"I wish your new life isn't the boring one. Good luck."
"Boring? Wait, how do you know what i feel just now hey gran-"
I lost her sight. Where did she go? So weird.
For an unknown reason, i couldn't stop staring at this pendant. I tried to wear it. After that there was a light coming from this pendant. So dazzled. I couldn't see anything near me even my self. Before i knew, i have lost my consciousness.
================================================================================
"HUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I heard a crying baby's voice. It came from me. Wait! Me? Crying? A baby?
I tried to get up but i couldn't. My body felt heavy. But i still could move my hands and legs. Hmm...weird, why my hands and legs looked smaller than usual. Don't tell me i really have become a baby? And where am i?
I tried to look my surrounding. It was around noon. There were many big trees here. I couldn't find anyone and house here. Seems like i was alone in the middle of a forest. I said that i prefer being alone but not in the place like this.
"HUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I cried again. Hopefully there would be someone who could hear my crying.
I was waiting and waiting. There was noone here. Hiks. At this rate, a wild animal would come to eat me. I wanted to cry but i didn't have any energy left. I felt hungry and sleepy.
I closed my eyes and suddenly i heard a sound of carriege heading my place. There was someone heading here. I hurriedly cry hopefully someone would hear me.
"STOP THE CARRIEGE!!!!" said someone who rode a horse. From his clothes, it seems he was a soldier. He got off from his horse and go to that carriege. "I'm sorry for stopping the carriege, Master. But there's a baby lying in the middle of street."
After that, a man came out from the carriege. He was around his twenties. He looked so handsome and dignity. I guess he was a high ranking noble.
"How come there's a beautiful baby here? Where are your parents?" That handsome man came and hold me in his arms. Wow, he looks more handsome up close. Totally my type.
"Ma--ma---master, what will you do with that baby?" That soldier looked surprise and worry. He didn't expect to find a healthy baby in the middle of forest.
"I'll rise her as my own daughter." said the handsome man and smile.
