Chereads / Locked Secrets From You / Chapter 7 - Unfamiliar Place

Chapter 7 - Unfamiliar Place

An unfamiliar home, an unfamiliar family, with many uncertainties ahead. Flipping a new page with much hesitation, when one focus on its past, the next page feels heavy to turn. Yet life will still go on, be it with you or leaving you behind.

A limousine arrived at its destination, a huge mansion with people lining up outside waiting for the well-missed child. Upon reaching her new home, Yu Xin felt nervous for no reason. She grips her little fist, looking at the line of people who seem to be waiting for her.

Yu Xin's brother pats her head in an attempt to calm her. Not long after the car door opened, her new father carried her out.

"Welcome back young lady!" greeted the line of people waiting for Yu Xin. Yu Xin was surprised, no one has greeted her like this in her past life. It was kind of refreshing. The family of four walked into their home with dignity.

Arriving in her new home, it was huge. Even she could not afford such a huge mansion filled with various items. Yu Xin then saw a photo of a lady, 'it seems that it is this original host's mother' taking up the photo frame to inspect it further. The brothers were curious about what their little sister found, they sneak up behind her to see what Yu Xin was looking at.

It was a photo of their mother, thinking that Yu Xin missed her as well. They hugged her tightly and said, "You still have us". Yu Xin who was wondering why the back of the photo frame had a slight bump, suddenly got hugged by her brothers. "Brother, I am hungry, do we have snacks at home?" said Yu Xin. The brothers paused for a while before going to the pantry to grab snacks.

After her brothers left, Yu Xin pry opens the back cover of the frame, a slip of paper was sticking slightly to the photo. Before she could even look at the paper, Yu Xin felt her brothers were coming back soon. She quickly put everything back in place. After her brothers place the snack down, the older brother said "You can have this photo frame. No one had touched it for a long time. It's the last photo taken of our mom before she left."

Her father came down from the second floor after checking her new room, whether the room was safe for me. "Xin'er your room is yours to use as you pleased. Want to go take a look?" asked her father. Yu Xin nodded her head. Her room has an automatic sliding door, so she doesn't have to exert strength just to open it.

When the door slides open, the room decoration was filling with bright colours. It was bright. Her room was painted in bright pastel pink with black strips to add contrast. Her bed was a princess bed, with the curtains of course. She has her own toilet, black desk, a sofa, a huge monitor connected to the desktop, and a gaming console.

She also has a 180cm rabbit doll similar to the one she was holding the entire time. "Wow. So, pretty. Thank you!" said Yu Xin as she was amazed at her new room.

Being inside the room, Yu Xin absorbs the feeling around her, making her smile. 'I never had anyone taken care of me so much. This room is brighter than my own house. Though it didn't have as many devices I hope there will be, but it's fine.' Yu Xin turned around and hugged her new family.

Everyone was glad that Xin'er liked her room, they have been worried for 3 months, many changes were made. "Xin'er, I was going to buy you a white coloured desk, but then your brothers were saying that your room would be too bright." said the father.

Xin'er looked at her brothers and gave them a thumbs up. 'Nice Job!' The brothers gave back a thumbs up as well, the siblings smiling away. A silent conversation that only those involved can understand.

Indeed, a white desk added to a bright pastel pink is going to blind one's eye. A black desk is more of Yu Xin's taste. One word 'Chic".
