Chapter 13 - Knight Security Services

Three years later in Country A:

A teenage girl was sitting on her desk reading a magazine.She was currently reading the biography of the man who was suddenly famous for having saved the President of country A in the last year.She stared at the handsome but stern face.His face had not changed in the last 3 years.It had only been three years but she felt it had been a lifetime.After her surgery,it had taken an entire year for her to assimilate that she was thirteen and not nine years plus the fact that because of this she had better chances of survival.But she still thought of herself as young.After the surgery,she'd had a growth spurt and no longer looked younger than her age.Though she did not look like girls her age as well.Teenage girls in this country liked to dress older or maybe bolder.The make up,the hair and even the style made them look at least 18 years. Shi Ai did not know why she did not like to dress up as these girls.Like all girls she fancied make up as well but she somehow did not like the look of it and felt it was a waste of time..

She thought back to the promise that she had made him.That she would be happy.Had he been really concerned about her or had he just pitied her?She had lived the past three years with Aunty Wu who had treated her like a mother would treat her daughter.It was only after she passed away last month that Shi Ai came to know that all her medical expenses had been borne by him.She had thought that he would have forgotten about her or just remembered her as an amusing girl but unexpectedly he had saved her.She felt indebted to him for life.She fingered the chain around her neck.For the last three years,the ring hanging inside it had given her hope and strength,but now that she was alone again in this world,and with the new knowledge the ring was a heavy burden.Putting her head down,she studied the blank eyes again but this time the ending of the article caught her eye.It gave the contact information of Knight Security and assured them of their quick services.

In her subconscious mind,she learnt the number and other details without realizing what she had done.

Closing the magazine,she took out her sketch pad and doodled on it until the teacher arrived.She was in high school now.Though she was supposed to be in middle school,her promise and all the free time during her recovery had given her a jump start on the school life.She was younger than all the students in her class.Younger and more beautiful.Her aversion to follow modern trends and her delicate features made her an envy of all the girls in her class and a fancy to all the boys.

Soon she would be shifting into the dormitory.She hated to live in the small house without Auntie Wu's presence.Once the rent period was over she would move here into the dormitory if she could.She had also received notice from the school to update a guardian's name.She had no one.And she did not know what to do.She thought about looking for sister Al but she did not want to get in touch with the Long's as of now when she had taken so many pains and begged Auntie Wu to not lose contact with them.

Doodling absently,she looked down to see that she had sketched him.Sighing she closed the book with a snap and took out her textbook.Just then her good friend,Yao yao sat down next to her with a thump.Seeing her reading her textbook,she banged her hand on the table and said,"Ai ai,you will turn into a book worm if you keep staring into your books!Look up and admire the scenery in front of you."

Looking at her Shi Ai moved to stare out of the window but she could see the same grounds and trees. Yao yao shook her head and holding her chin moved her face to the front of the class where the most handsome boy in the class was sitting staring straight ahead.

Yao yao sighed at the chiseled face while SHi Ai looked on indifferently.No one was as handsome as her Knight.
