When one falls sick often and easily, they should always take precautions. The body is not well, even if you feel fine. Take breaks and rest when possible, overwork will induce stress to your mind and body causing it to overload its capacity.
Yu Xin rested for many days, even though she can run around. On the last day of the school week, she woke up early dressed and ready to follow her brothers to school. "Good Morning!" said Yu Xin as she sits down in the dining area. The brothers greeted her and sat at their respective seats. Their father came down after talking to his assistant, the family had their breakfast and was ready to go.
"Xin'er, as you know your birthday is near, this father has prepared a party for you. And it is also to introduce you to the society that your brothers and I lived." Said Daddy Zhou as he passed over some cards that he received from his assistant to Xin'er. Yu Xin looked at the card and was awed at the design and it was her first time having an invitation card. "Thank You, Daddy! 100 points for daddy." Said Yu Xin as she hugs her dad.
Daddy Zhou was very happy and looked at his son's faces and grins at them. The brothers were caught off guard and saw their father grinning at them while enjoying the embrace of Xin'er.
"Tsk"
Yu Xin entered the classroom and went to her seat. But Wang Zi Hao was not here yet, so she entertained her classmates instead. Not long after the class was starting, Wang Zi Hao suddenly appeared at his seat while she was playing with her tablet. "Morning." Said Wang Zi Hao. Yu Xin who was shocked at Wang Zi Hao's sudden appearance stared at him for a moment before saying "Morning".
School was as per normal, the school bell rings for the last time indicating that the last class of the day has ended. Everyone was packing their bags and leaving, Yu Xin took out an invitation card and placed it in front of Wang Zi Hao. "It's my birthday next week, you are invited!" said Yu Xin. Wang Zi Hao picked up the card and left the classroom. "Is there something wrong with him today?". Yu Xin's brothers left for the student council and Yu Xin was alone.
What should I do now? Nobody is around me. Except for some students staying near me, should I lose them? It's decided then! Hide and seek. Yu Xin ran out of the class and hid at a hiding spot nearby, while a few students ran past her. Hmph! Too easy. Now let's get out of the school compound. Yu Xin ran through the back gates of the school, and success!
Now where should we go? Yu Xin walked and see the stores selling food and items. Then she saw an auntie selling croquettes and stared at the different types of croquettes.
"Little one, which one do you want?"
"Hmm… Auntie, which one do you recommend?"
"Oh, you speak well for your age. Everything is good, it's up to what you are feeling to eat today"
"Thank you! Then can I have 2 of your specialty croquettes?"
"Here you go. It's $6 in total."
Yu Xin passes the auntie 6 dollars and left with the piping hot croquettes. I should eat this at a nearby park, I heard there is a water fountain here. As Yu Xin walks to the park through the alleyway, she heard someone getting beaten up. Yu Xin knows she should be a busybody, but she decides to take a look.
Wow, these days youngsters are so hot-blooded. Is this what they called youth? Or perhaps called bully the weak to hide their inferiority? Goodness, even using weapons in broad daylight. Yu Xin pulled her security alarm on her bag which blared out a loud sound, scaring the bullies who then ran away leaving the injured person behind.
The sound was so loud Yu Xin felt her ears were bleeding, and quickly put back the pin to the holder after the bullies were not in sight. Yu Xin went to check on the injured boy, and the sight wasn't pretty. "Hey, are you ok? Well obviously, you're not. Why did I ask?" Yu Xin helped the boy to a more comfortable position with all her strength, but the boy ended up collapsing on her. "Oiiii! Wake up!" Yu Xin managed to get herself upright, but her legs are trapped under the boy.
Is he still alive? Oh, he is still breathing. My croquettes are getting cold, I need to eat them before they turn stale. As Yu Xin was eating and playing with her tablet and phone, her legs started to feel numb. The sun was setting as well, she will be in trouble if she doesn't get back to school before her brothers finished their student council stuff.
"HEY!!! Wake up already! How long are you going to sleep?" The boy then shifted to a more comfortable position and end up hugging her waist. Yu Xin was shocked and slap the boy's face to wake him up, but her hand was held by the sleeping boy. Yu Xin knows the only way is to face the music.
"Brother! Help me! My legs, my legs"
"Where are you? What happened to your legs?"
"It's numb! I don't know where I am. I am outside the school."
"It's ok, we will be right there! Stay at where you are"
The sun has set, the cold wind blows. A lot of car lights appeared, Yu Xin saw her brothers and said "Brother! Help!".
The brothers ran towards their sister whose legs is trapped under a boy who is hugging her waist. The brothers signal their men to pull the boy away for interrogation. As soon as the boy was lifted away, Yu Xin can feel her legs being alive again but the numbness was intense.
"My Legs is Alive!"
