"System? What system? How is it inside me body? Will it harm me?" asked Xiaomin anxiously.
Everything was already bouncing from the top of her head, just when she thought it will be over another new discovery overwhelmed her. Something inside her body...
"It is not harmful, it is something which will help you in the best possible way. It is difficult to explain you without its existence, so let it activate then I will elaborate about it. One thing that I should remind you, this thing should be kept secret. If any of the powers are used to harm someone....it will automatically start self destruction mode." saying this the puppy simply sat down and closed his eyes.
Everything was messed up, nothing seemed right, if earlier Xiaomin questioned her rebirth into dream or reality, right now she was actually confused with her existence as well. Was she really existing or will all this turn out to be another dream.
Helping Xiaomin to lie down on the bed and covering her with a duvet, Weimo sat besides her and helped her in her night routine. Where as Xiaomin was just lying on the bed like a lifeless doll. After completing her night routine,Weimo slipped under the duvet and hugged Xiaomin in his arms completely hiding her from the outside world.
Patting her back and head weimo spoke, "Minmin, I will protect you. Don't worry."
Raising her head from Weimo's chest, Xiaomin smiled lightly while looking at him with bright shining eyes. After staring at Weimo's face for few seconds, Xiaomin again buried her head in his chest and tightened her hands around his waist.
Weimo also closed his eyes and kept on patting her rhythmically.
*chuckling* *chuckling*
Looking at the small petite girl in his arms whose body was trembling from controlling her laugh weimo asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Digging deeper into Weimo's chest she spoke in a muffled voice, "You remember, when we were kids. Once I got fever, mom tried using liquid syrups, Chinese medicine even rubbing my body with alcohol, but nothing worked. At last the doctor decided to give me an injection."
"Yes, and you were always scared of syringes. Only I knew, how much aunty and I had to suffer whenever you were given booster or vaccines. You would just keep on crying, but we were the ones whose heart were torn apart. I still remember, you were so small, always doing mischievous things. " spoke Weimo while drifting into past and remembering the cute, chubby, girl....
"What can I do? Like you are scared of cats I am scared of syringes. I still remember, how I cried for days to avoid it but eventually mom got me tied up. And..... you came.... You remember how you came inside the blanket, hugged me in your thin arms and spoke in my ear....(.Minmin...I will protect you.....). After that incident, everyone was so relieved that I didn't cry due to syringe, only if they knew that you took it instead of me. Not only that everyone was so relieved that I got better from the syringe while I kept wondering, if that syringe can bring down my temperature will it reduce your temperature as well making you cold.
(Pausing for a while)
Weimo, thankyou."
Not understanding why she thanked him Weimo repeated, "Thankyou?"
