Chereads / You are my star / Chapter 9 - She remembers everything

Chapter 9 - She remembers everything

At the hospital, Li Yi's mom and dad are waiting outside as Li Xiang is checking on Li Yi inside. Yu Xuan calls the team back, as they summons the man.

Li Xiang came out of the room, and his parents came up to him.

"How is Ah Yi?" as his mom asks.

"She just fractured her arm and broke one of her rib bones. She's just resting right now."

"What about her head? I heard it was bleeding a lot," as his dad anxiously asks.

"Her head is fine. Just a little scratch. No need to worry, but if you don't want Ah Yi to worry then I think you both should stay here right now. It's already past midnight. You don't want her to wake up seeing you guys like this right?"

Both of his parents looked at each other and nodded. "I'll go home with your dad right now, and will come see her tomorrow. But make sure to take good care of her." His mother tells him.

Li Xiang nods his head and escorts his parents out of the hospital. As he saw both of them go, Li Xiang saw Yu Xuan.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at the station?" as Li Xiang asks.

"He already admitted to everything, and they could take care of the rest without me. So, I came to see." Yu Xuan looks at Li Xiang, and right away Li Xiang knows what he wants to ask.

"She's fine, don't worry. Just a little fracture here and there. She just needs some rest and time to heal."

After saying it, Yu Xuan's heart finally relaxes.

"Bro, are you really gonna do that?" as Li Xiang looks at him seriously.

"Do what?" as Yu Xuan pretends not to understand.

"Don't try to play with me. I'm talking about the case where you're going to dismiss her from the department." Seeing that Yu Xuan didn't say anything, Li Xiang spoke up again. "You should know Li Yi. She's very stubborn and when it comes to doing something that she sets a goal for, she won't give up until the last minute. So I hope you think about it before taking action." He pats him on the shoulder and leaves.

After Li Xiang left him, Yu Xuan went up to the fifth floor where Li Yi's room is. Inside the room, Li Yi is lying on the bed with her eyes covered.

Yu Xuan quietly opens the door, and walks in. As he closed the door behind him gently, a voice called out to him.

"You're here?" as Li Yi asks in a weak tone.

Yu Xuan turned around, and saw Li Yi lying on the bed awake. "Did he admit?" as Li Yi asks him.

Yu Xuan nods his head. "Bi Bi and them are wrapping it up back at the station."

"Did he tell you why he did it?" Yu Xuan looks at her for a moment and then shakes his head.

Li Yi stares at Yu Xuan. Her eyes fill with many questions and uncertainty. She pushes herself to sit up, and endures the pain from inside.

"You should be resting," as Yu Xuan tells her.

Li Yi didn't listen.She got out of her bed, and stood in front of Yu Xuan. "A few hours back when I thought I was going to die, I realized I had so many things that I didn't do yet. I couldn't let myself die at that moment or else I know I'm gonna regret it," Li Yi looks at him affectionately.

"And just write at that moment when I had that blackout, I remember something that I've always wanted to remember. You are that boy am I right?" She stares at him deeply into his eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Yu Xuan adverts his eyes from her and starts to turn around to leave.

"Yu Xuan gege, don't go!" as Li Yi ran up to him and hugged him from behind with one hand.

Yu Xuan stops, and turns around looking at Li Yi deeply into her eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about. You should get some rest." Yu Xuan removes her hand, and fiercely leaves Li Yi.

"You didn't even answer me yet." Li Yi carries her pain with her and chases after him.

Yu Xuan didn't turn back, and just continued walking. He's walking too fast for Li Yi to catch up to him.

"ZHANG YU XUAN!" as she screams his name so loud that the nurse who's at the nurse station, looks to see what happens.

Yu Xuan stops walking, and hesitates for a sec before turning around.

Li Yi firmly stares at him. She has never acted like this outside before, she doesn't even know why she is doing this. All she wants is an answer from him.

She slowly walks up to him. She knows that he won't leave because she just knows.

Li Yi finally got up to him. She faces him with a very serious pair of eyes. "Where are you going?" as she questions him.

"Are you planning to leave me again after 12 years have passed?" as tears circle around Li Yi's eyes.

Twelve years ago, Li Yi was 13 years old and Yu Xuan was 16. Yu Xuan would go to Li Yi's house from time to time because he would always hang out with Li Xiang after school. Li Yi would always follow them from behind, and they would always isolate her out. But one day, when Li Yi was walking home from school, a group of guys came out from a car and kidnapped Li Yi.

Those guys were from a gang that made some type of deal with Yu Xuan and Li Xiang. But what happened was Li Xiang broke the promise, and now those men are kidnapping Li Yi, for what they've done to them.

"Who are you people?" as the young Li Yi's voice became shaky.

"Your brother's best friends. Hurry up and tell your brother to save you before he won't ever see you again." as one of the youngest of the gang said.

There are four men and all of them look so muscular, and scary. The oldest man hands her over the phone, as he has already dials her brother's phone number. He uses her phone, and puts it in speaker.

The other two men puts a knife around her neck, to make sure she won't do or say anything stupid.

"Ah Yi, What happened?" as Li Xiang speaks from the other side of the phone.

Hearing her brother's voice makes her want to cry for help. But she couldn't.

"Ah Yi?"

The oldest man holds up a sign to tell her what to say.

"Where are you?" as she reads the board.

"Where are you right now?" as Li Yi's voice is still shaky.

"I'm at home. Where are you? How come you're still not back yet?" Li Xiang asked.

Tears started rolling Li Yi's eyes because she's scared. She is scared that she won't be able to see her family again, and scared that she won't be able to say the words that she's been hiding from Yu Xuan.

Seeing her start crying, the oldest guy loses his patience and tells his brother to tape her up.

He closes the speaker button, and puts the phone in his ear.

"Li Xiang. It's me," as the oldest man said.

Both Yu Xuan and Li Xiang's eyes are open.

Yu Xuan was with Li Xiang the whole time when Li Yi called him. They were planning to play a prank on her, but they're stunned.

"Long Chen, what did you do to my sister?" as Li Xiang angrily asks.

"Li Xiang if you don't want your sister to get hurt, then bring back what you owed me. I'll be at the old place waiting for you. And don't dare to call the police." He ends the phone, and sits there waiting.

"You better hope your brother comes to rescue you," Long Chen said it while looking at Li Yi.

In less than thirty minute, Yu Xuan and Li Xiang arrived outside of a warehouse.

"Long Chen, we're here." Li Xiang screams over the door.

The youngest man peaks through the slit and sees that it's the two of them only. He quickly opens the door, and closes it behind them.

They saw Li Yi all tied up on a chair desperately looking at them.

"Long Chen, we brought what you need. Let my sister go," as Li Xiang commands him.

Long Chen sneers, and laughs. "You think I'm stupid. Something that happened once already to me, I won't fall for it again. Give me it first, and then I'll let her go." Long Chen gives an eye signal to his brother. The second oldest puts the pocket knife closer to Li Yi's neck.

Li Xiang had no choice, but threw the usb to Long Chen.

"You better not play with us or else you will never see your sister again."

They took the usb and went to the laptop to see if that's the material they need. As the three went to the laptop, only the second oldest is looking after Li Yi.

Yu Xuan looked at Li Xiang and gave him a signal.

Yu Xuan secretly pulls out a dagger from his back pocket and flings it to the second oldest man. The dagger stabs his hand, and falls down to the floor.

Li Xiang races to rescue Li Yi, as Yu Xuan fights them.

"Ah Yi don't worry. We came to rescue you, and will bring you back out safely," as Li Xiang comforts her, and helps her untie from the chair.

As Li Xiang is helping Li Yi, Yu Xuan was fighting three people at the time. Li Xiang doesn't really have to worry about Yu Xuan because Yu Xuan has a black belt in karate, and has been learning it since three.

Even though those men are muscular and look tough, they didn't last long when fighting with Yu Xuan. In less than 5 minute, he knocks all of them down.

Li Xiang and Li Yi walked up to him, and Li Xiang gave him a thumbs up.

"Let's go,"as Yu Xuan said.

As they started walking out, they didn't realize danger was coming to them.

The second oldest man took out his gun, and aimed it at Yu Xuan. As he pulls the trigger, Li Yi hears it and turns around.

"BE CAREFUL!!!"

*BAMM!*

-----Back to the present

"Twelve years ago, that shot hit my head which caused me to remember everyone besides you. And now when I remembered what happened, you're gonna leave me again?" Li Yi couldn't hold in her tears anymore and it rolled down her cheeks.

Seeing Li Yi like this isn't making Yu Xuan feel any better. He couldn't hold it in anymore and pulled Li Yi in for a hug.

Li Yi's eyes wide open, but she hugs him back.

At the very end of the hallway, Li Xiang stood there smiling.
