The sky was overcast, so was his mood. He couldn't understand why such things were happening to him. As he was searching for Mei Xian lots of unnecessary memory resurfaced in his mind. Fate has never had been kind for both. His meeting with her is only a handful of good things that happened to him. His mother abandoned him at the age of six months, father died of alcohol when he just went to kindergarten. twelve years of struggling in that hellish orphanage, Yang shi's heart has already became a stone.
After escaping from that damned place, Yang Shi traveled long years to quell his hungry stomach. From cooking in a hotel to small-time theft, he had done lots of miscellaneous work. He had seen all the smiling faces, and the treacherous heart of this prosperous, civil society. In his life, he only believed in two people, Mei Xian and the old geezer.
Old geezer was someone whom Yang Shi had met by chance. He was just a normal poor old man, who lived in a bamboo house. For five years, this has been Yang Shi's house. The old man never told his past to Yang Shi, even Yang Shi asked him many times.
The old man has an unusual hobby, he loved to collect stuffs related to martial arts. in his small house, there are lots of martial arts manuals, internal energy cultivation method, acupuncture art, and Fengshui. Yang Shi first tried the fighting and internal energy method but nothing happened. Although he knew that these things are fake still, he was a little disappointed.
The old man scolded him "What do you know, all these things are real. Do you think mastering these are child's play? If you could master it like this, then even pigs would able to fly without wings as well."
The old man died two years after. He was the only person who had shown any affection to Yang Shi. All the thing that was left behind was that martial art stuff and a little octagonal pendant. On top of the pendent was a symbol of Taiji fish. Inside it was a little space, perfect for keeping a photo. He kept it.
Yang Shi's meeting with Mei Xian was a good coincidence that happened to him. After the death of the Old man, Yang Shi went to nightclubs for forgetting his problems. When he was drinking, he saw a girl who was harassed by a few youngsters. Yang Shi smirked, he used to see things like this. Who knows, if everything started by the girl herself. The girl wasn't very beautiful, just above ordinary. After a long fight, everything subsided, that girl sat beside Yang shi,
" You shouldn't have fought with them" Yang Shi casually said.
" Huh...are you talking to me, why shouldn't I fought with them?"
" Do you see that watch of the bald person? The price of that one is more than 5000 USD. And other accessories those brats are wearing, sum up to your salary of three months. It is good that they didn't pursue the matter, otherwise the next day, you would have found yourself somewhere without clothes."
PAH.. " What a bunch of brats could do anything me ?"
" Yeah, yeah. I have already seen your braveness." Yang Shi, who was usually cold, is quite talkative today.
" How do you know that I am working here.. are you stalking me?"
" Haha, If I couldn't even point it out, my life is gone in vain after all."
...
After that night, two strangers became friends. That girl name was Lu Mei xian. After that their relationship became more and more intimate. Mei xian quitted her job in the nightclub, and joined as a waitress in a local hotel, and luckily Yang shi also gotten a job in a commercial store.
Everything is going smoothly. Yang shi was happy and thought that all his rotten luck has gone, and its time to turn a new leaf. Mei Xian was also happy. She was also an orphan, besides Yang shi, she doesn't have any other relatives in the world. Only after one month, they planned to get married. But NO, It seems heavens are jealous of Yang Shi's happiness.
Today he got a call from mei xian's friend, who was also worked with her, telling him that she had gotten a fight with someone called Young master Song. Yang Shi almost dropped his phone. He knew who is this Young master Song. He was the youngest son of Song Qiming, the head of Song real estate. a powerful company. The Young master Song is very notorious for raping girls and killing them. [ This girl never listens to me. How many times I told her to not mess with such people, what if...." Yang Shi didn't dare to think more as he dashed to Mei Xian's workplace...
At the reception||
" Is Mei Xian is here?"
" Who are you, Mister?"
'I am his .... husband, Please, can you call her'
" Umm... Sorry, Mister, today is Third young master Songs birthday, He had reserved the fifth floor. Mei xian and others have gone there to attain them.."
Fuck, as he was going to say something
CRAAASHHHH!!!!!!.. With a loud glass shattering sound, someone fell from above...
As Yang Shi rushed there, he saw a bloodied body lying over broken glass pieces.
'NO NONONONONO, Xian'er, Xian'er ..." Yang Shi frantically called her.
"Shi, T-those bastards, they are trying -t-to rape me... I decided to jump off the building, Shi, I didn't let them tarnish my body ..I-I am sorry, it seems we are destined to be parted."
"NO, you fool, j-just wait. I'll call the ambulance"
As he was calling an ambulance, he saw a bunch of rich youngsters came out of the building. One of them said, *Che*, " That chic was pretty good. Alas, she couldn't appreciate Young master Song's kindness."
"How can such girl can enter Young master's eyes, He just asked her to accompany him to a bath, What's so shocking about it?"
When Yang shi heard this, He was trembling violently. Suppressing his murderous intent, he rushed to the hospital carrying Mei Xian.
........
" I am very sorry to declare that... the person is no more. "
NO NO NO NO.... this sentence came like a thunderbolt.
It was raining outside. Yang Shi's face was drenched in water, it was unknown if was rainwater or tears.
ARRRRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
He let a roar to heavens, but gods didn't hear his call. But someone else did.
" Hmm, such a pathetic kid. Couldn't even able to take his revenge. Is it because of powerlessness or your love isn't true? "
Hearing this Yang Shi clenched his fist so hard that blue vein popped out. He lifted his head and with his bloodshot eyes, he looked surrounding places. But founded no one. "WHO said this? Which b***ard said this??? "
" Rather than bickering with me, think of your inability. What did you do when she was being harassed? Nothing. What can you do now, after her death? Nothing. What can you do by yourself? NOTHING. "
Till now, Yang Shi knew, Who had been talking to him. it was the octagonal taiji pendent, which was given by the Old man. Though he was shocked, revenge is more important for him.
Listening to that voice, Yang shi's eye gleamed. He asked, " Can you help me?"
" Everything has its price, can you afford it? Do you have guts to pay the price?"
" What's the price?"
" Simple, just your soul."
" What's the value of my soul?"
" One wish"
" Three wishes, if not, get lost."
" Brat, you dare to bargain with this seat. Do you even know who am I?"
" No need to know. From your tone, I can sense how desperately you need my soul. I know you'll accept my conditions"
*Chet* " Kid, aren't you afraid I will cheat you?"
" Not afraid. As long there is a chance of revenge, I'll grab it"
"...Fine. DEAL"
"DEAL"
