Back to present
Xi bie rolled the car window as her eyes
were half-lidded while she held up an alluring posture.
" How does it feels to be back " shen fie asked as she saw her starring blankly at an unknown direction
" The familiar land, the familiar air, I can feel my blood boiling " she said coldly as the latter shuddered .
" Hey I told you to stop using that tone with me , do you want to scare me to death" shen fie said as she rolled her eyes
The air rushed through the empty spaces as she clenched her fist , trying to hold on to the wind.
Four years of leaving did not free her from the torture of the Xi family . There were several attempts to kill her while she was abroad . Although she managed to escape , it still hurts her the most , it will be disrespectful not to pay them back in fold when she is back now
Shen fie pulled over in a small alley, there were several food stalls . The food being sold include waffles, roasted sausage , baked buns , marinated meats etc . The place was filled with people of Z city moving and horsing around .
Shen fie and xi bie got out of the car as they moved towards a spicy hotpot shop , though there wasn't much space inside , the place was clean and it gave a homey warmth, there weren't many people inside either.
" It's the young lass bie bie I haven't seen you in a long time , only fie fie has been coming , hurry up and find somewhere to sit " the stall owner was a woman in her late sixties, when she saw the both of them her eyes were filled with loving kindness and warmth.
Shen fie found a seat and sat down as Xi bie sat opposite her .
" It's been four years and this place hasn't changed at all" Xi bie said looking around .
" Bie bie "
" Hm.."
" Remember when we use to come here during high school days " Shen fie said as they laughed.
" Oh! I remember the day we misplaced our money and you acted like you have fainted so we wouldn't have to pay , instead a gullible young man paid our bills and took you home" Shen fie laughed as she pinched her cheeks.
Xi bie personality turned much gentler and purer, like a young girl as she laughed remembering the past ,her carefree attitude will make people want to protect that laughter at all cost.
Shen fie went to the ingredient section and picked out what they liked , since they both had the same preferences .
Shen fie prepared the sauce for the both of them.
When everything was prepared it was as if the had returned to the times they were still in school .
They cast away all their worries and became casual and carefree . Despite knowing that this was the last time they will allow themselves to relax .
She promised to return and shoulder all the responsibility of her grandparent , her revenge , then Chen family and her career , to provide a better life for her son .
