Feeling the summery breeze, Xia Qin Yi felt her eyes close, enjoying the warm calming feeling. She sat at the far corner of the bus heading to the city. The journey along the road is a bit rough and it will take at least 4 hours of driving from her location.
The bus is full of passengers and it's quite crowded for her. She averts her gaze and calmly looks outside. The trees are dancing through the breeze. The birds chirping a tune she likes to hear. Until now, Xia Qin Yi was still astounded by having her senses improved. She couldn't help to think as to why it got better after her rebirth.
Her mind drifted to her past life as Feng Wei Xia.
-------------------------------------------
A gorgeous lady stares at the child in her arms. Her eyes full of love while looking at the girl reading a complicated book that is not fit for her age. Meng Li Xiu examines Feng Wei Xia's calm face while the latter continuously flip the pages faster than anyone could. She knows that her child was a genius.
At the age of 3, Feng Wei Xia can read, write, and can even solve complicated math questions. She knows how to read and write in different languages such as English, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, etc.
At first, Meng Li Xiu was happy to know that her child is intelligent. In their line of living, where the strong one eats the weaker, Meng Li Xiu was worried about the future of her daughter. She knows the dark secrets of the Feng Family and she was worried if someday something happens to her, Feng Wei Xia will fall into the hands of those demons in sheep's clothing.
Meng Li Xiu intently stares at her daughter's youthful face as she heaves a sigh.
"Xia'er..." Meng Li Xiu thinks that if she educates the young Feng Wei Xia, it can ease her mind. Therefore, she was determined to teach her daughter everything she knows.
Feng Wei Xia, whose reading lifts her little head and looks back to her mother's obvious worried face. She put down her book and carefully straighten her mother's furrowed eyebrows.
"Yes, mother..." She drags her words with her soft voice. She links her small jade-like arms to her mother's.
"Xia'er, I know that you're still young to understand things around you, but can you promise mother that you will grow into a strong woman in the future?" Meng Li Xiu sighed deeply.
" Yes, I promise. I'll be someone you'd be proud of, mother. Please stay by my side until then. Promise?" Feng Wei Xia answered her mother with maturity in her voice. Meng LiXiu thinks deeply before she says what she wanted to say.
"Dear, can you promise me that if the situation doesn't permit, you won't show your intellect to the entire family except me?" Meng Li Xiu knows that if one day that her daughter's aptitude was disclosed to the rest of the family, her daughter will live as a puppet forever. Hiding in the shadows until who knows when.
Feng Wei Xia understood where her mother is coming from. Feng's Family treats her averagely. Compare to the other members of the family, she was treated well enough. Although her young mind has seen the family as her own, she still agrees to her mother's plea.
Feng Wei Xia was trained secretly by her mother since she was a child. She can protect herself well. She learned an eccentric type of martial arts and other things that can help her grow stronger. Her senses and flexibility improved drastically. She uses her wits secretly without showing them to the rest of the family.
Until her mother died. Feng Wei Xia was stunned when she heard the news. She was waiting for her mother to come home because Meng Li Xiu was busy overseas. All she knows is that her mother was caught in a car accident while heading home. Since then, she rarely talks to her peers and cousins. She was always surrounded by a gloomy aura for 2 months.
A year later, Feng Wan Lu brought home some strangers. Telling her that they will be her family from now on. The woman in front of her is beautiful with a perfect body. She averts her gaze to the two young children like herself and realizes that they were at the same age.
Feng Wei Xia's gloomy and detached aura gradually dissipates. The older girl walks in front of her and held her hand.
"From now on, we'll be your new family, alright? You won't be lonely anymore." Those are the words that ring to her ear and creates a warm sensation in her heart. As a child, whose mother is deceased and a father who is rarely home. She longs for a family. Thus, she grips back the hand of the young Feng Ying Lu and smiles. Nodding her head gracefully she replied.
" En. "
From then on she grows up with her two 'new' sisters. They share everything. Feng Wei Xia forgets about her promise to her mother to not disclose her talent to her family. The Feng family, after knowing that the child was a genius, started to pamper her like they truly love her. Feng Wei Xia, still ignorant about the whole situation grows up not knowing she was being used. Until the day she died, she still can't believe that her life is a lie.
She was tortured endlessly for 3 whole years. They cut her tongue, her limbs battered to an extent, her beautiful face was disfigured and malnourished. She felt like she was living in hell for years but still believe that her 'family' are still looking for her. But the reality is different. She was schemed by those people for a petty reason.
Now that she was resurrected, she vows to not trust anyone easily again. She chooses to live the life she wanted from now on while planning her comeback. Her hardened heart was invisibly covered with layers of thick walls.
From now on, she will leave Feng Wei Xia's identity behind. She chooses to be Xia Qin Yi that will turn her enemies' lives upside down.
"I will let you enjoy your pitiful lives for a while since it won't last long. " Xia Qin Yi flutters her eyes open after deep thinking and flashed a menacing cold smile.
The people who saw the change of her expression felt a cold shiver down to their spine. They immediately turn their head away from the young-looking girl and mumbles to their heart how scary the girl is.
'Thankfully, I don't wet my pants. It will be embarrassing!'
'I'll go to church to pray. I don't want to get nightmares!'
Xia Qin Yi, who doesn't know that she scared the hell out of the people near her, continuously watches the scenery.
After 4 hours, she arrived at the bus terminal. She looked at the dazzling lights of the establishments and buildings in front of her. The place is crowded with people getting off work. The sky turns deep blue as the sun sets earlier than usual.
'Hmmm... Where should we start?' Her eyes flashed a cold glint. No one knows what is running from her mind.
