Bei Xi's POV
I groaned adjusting myself. Huhuhu my head is pounding and i wanna cry. Why do i again feel the same aching and now it is worsen.
The dream.... is it really just a dream. White and gold light strike my heart and after that i feel my conscious appearing. I don't know what it is but i could say that its abnormal.
Maybe it is some heavenly gift or my brain is playing games with me. Hmp. So naughty.
Mommy where are youuuuuu? My throat is dry like a dessert and i bet that if i speak i will sound raspy and unrecognizable. Is there such a word. Hmmmmmm....?
"Mo-mother?" And then i know i win the bet against myself since my voice is so raspy.Mwuahahahahah!
The body beside me who is resting her head in the side of my bed look up at me and stares blankly.
Did i came to the wrong body? Or place?
I can say who she is even with the black eye bags and pale lips. She's my new eomma.(mother)
Can't she recognized me? Why is she just staring?
"Ah. Another dream." she absentmindedly said.
"I wish she indeed wakes up." she again put her head on the bed and maybe naps?
"Mother, what are you talking about?" even with this dehydrated throat i force myself to speak up.
She stay that way for a while then she again looks up.
"You're true?!?" her eyes glued to me, it bulged and her tone slightly high.
" Do i look fake?" i said with my slightly duh-tone. Okay,maybe that's too much.
Maybe she don't observed my tone or she's too into her thoughts that's she just hugs me tightly and smile widely. I felt suffocated and maybe this is how i'll die in this world.
" Mother, i-i can't breath and my brittle bones are protesting." I jokingly said but my brain is giving red signals with the sound of siren. Ouchhhh...It adequately hurts, babe.(A/N: i miss mr. Ambrose)
"Its true....your awake. Bai Ruo! Get a glass of water! And call the master!" My mom shouted at the wooden door and i hear a vague 'Yes, madam' outside. Before the sound of footsteps go away from the corridor.
Hmmmm... maybe i should try that sometime.
But what really happened? I need to ask mother to know what's this is all about. But right now all i need i water.
...
After relieving my protesting throat earlier i asked mom just to find out that i've been in coma for 2 weeks.
That long?
I feel like i'm dreaming just for a couple of minutes ah. I don't wanna think deep through so i'll just let it past. Aside from that, i feel that something changed.
My body feel refreshed and energized. Is this the effect of comma?
Weird.
Aren't i supposed to be more weakly?
My small brain can't handle too many things at once. I just want to eat, play, and stay at home.
Maybe my age is influencing my judgement and habits but then i just wanna live carefreely and peacefully.. I do things simply and full of fun. That's the way i am and i'm happy with that. I can harvest love from my family anytime i want and i'm quiet thankful.
They care for me so i'll also care for them. Yahhhhh.... but although i love staying at home,i feel too bored from staying in bed for these past 2 days and i think if i stay here for a little while my back will stick to the bed.
But how do i make things exiciting?
Maybe... i can take a look outside without a servant that always over react with each stone on the way? Who almost want to put cushion everywhere i step?
Bright idea.
....
"Sister Bai Ruo,could you look for a playmate for me? I prefer a magical beast that is cute and fluffy that is also tamed. I want it to be an level 6 elemental beast but approachable and friendly. Take your time. Thank you." I said more like hastily because i'm too excited to go out.
I hope she won't notice my eagerness or mistake it for my love to pets. I know that what i'm asking is hard to find because magical beast are rare and species are low in the market only at magical and secluded forest they appear but that's my purpose.
To have her stay away for a while.
I'm such a bad girl. ;b
...
When i'm assured that she already left, i tiptoed walking to the door. Looking at the corridor i notice no servants around and happily walk through the corridors. I remember that to go outside the manor i need to go 2 lefts and 3 rights. I vigilantly tried to stay unspotted while in the process.
Lookin' right and left and stopping in the corner if i saw someone around or passingby. Huffing and puffing i pass the finish line. My energy is already drained just from sneaking out hehehe.
Mwuah mwuah i'm so awesomeeee~
Be me,guys. Be meeeeee~
Now that i'm far away from our manor where should i go ba?
Left? Or right?
Maybe i should choose right. Because we all need to be right,right?
La la la la la~ Im going out~
Looking at things~ Seeing new~
La la la la la~ Im going out~
Meeting people~ Friends new~
La la la la la~
I think this body's vocal chords is damage ah? Or maybe im not mindful of the tone?
I think there is something reallllllllyyyyyyyy strange with this body. Everytime i saw people and smile they look stunned and they stop walking and just continue staring.
Doesn't they know staring is rude? Gosh.
Do i look that ugly? Or that tiny? Yes, im small but that's because i'm just a 5 year old kid. Hmp. I promise to be big when i grow up.
I continue my journey but i tried to stay away at people at all cost. Well, they look weird and i don't want to be abducted. Maybe too late for that since im without a servant but nevermind.
Yah!!! Maybe its because of my dress. Does it look too poor or expensive? Ow, i forgot to change my sleeping robe to something more suitable for my fantastic and unforgettable journey.
But what could i do now? I'm already outside and i don't have a single penny or what do you call their money? Ah Nevermind. My sweet little mind may overheat by the time i remember.
Hmmmm... maybe i should go to some park or some sight-seeing places. Can my small feet manage? I choose to just try. There's no harm in trying. Unless you're like me traveling alone as a child and without a single penny or some guard.
But i'm too young to think about things so i'll just enjoy it. Spare me.
Ah city is a good place to enjoy oneself. The places are all pretty in this point. Big establishments,bustling market,and a fresh air at the park. But my feet is starting to sore and i feel that something will go wrong.
Maybe because i don't know where am i? Or maybe because i'm starting to feel hunger? Hmmmm which one?
....
When i turn to some alley i feel a presence behind me and slightly turned my body to avoid suspicions of the other party. I caught the sight of a tall figure in a black robe just a few meters away from me. He/She is wearing a mask and his strong black hair is visible.
Just by looking at his eyes you could say that he/she is a fine specimen that could cause drooling. The aura is strong and unfathomable in contrast to those people she met. Even her father's pressure and aura paled in comparison.
She fastened her steps and bow her head slightly. Fear is creeping in her heart.
Omo! What should i do?!? A weirdo/stalker is following me?
Am i gonna die?
Will my idiocy kill me? Huhuhuhuhu.
If only i know i will not go out. Even if it is to be expected,im just too hardheaded. I remember the times my brothers scold me to death but still stood by my side and doesn't tell mom and dad. If only i put their words in my heart.
Huhuhuhu if i survive this i'll promise to stay obedient to mother and father and never go out without their care. Mommy help meeeeee~
Her heart is jumping up and down from her chest and she heard the footsteps approaching from her behind. Its more like strides because of the person's legs and thigh are too long ah.
Why do i have to be so small?
She tried her best to largen the spave between them but failed.
She felt someone's hands on her shoulder slightly stopping her movements. She already ready herself to run for her life but stop when she heard a soft and heart-melting but a little bit cold voice.
"Do you need help?"
