CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT
The moment Feifei opened his eyes, he surveyed his room. He was checking if he was still dreaming. Dreaming while awake.
He dreamt of Yuan.
Yuan said he got fed up with him and that he has found another who treats him with the love he deserves.
Yuan then looked at him with disgust and impatience as he walked away from him.
Then he saw Yuan and his sweetheart holding each others hands. They were both happy and obviously inlove. Yuan was smiling while leaning down to whisper something in his sweetheart's ear.
His sweetheart's laughter echoed around as she hugged Yuan. Yuan's face was all soft as he looked down at his sweetheart with tenderness and love.
While he, he was at the far back clutching his chest. He was watching as his lover is now happily embracing someone. Someone not him.
He just stood there with a bitter smile and an even more miserable face.
How could Yuan look at his sweetheart with such gentleness while he looked at him with coldness and detachment?
Feifei bit his lips as he remembered the gut wrenching scenes of his dream.
Feifei covered his eyes with his arm. Trying to block the images of Yuan and his sweetheart.
It was not a dream.
It was clearly a night terror.
A terrible night terror.
-----------------------------------------
When Feifei arrived at work, he saw Yanyan already there waiting for him. She has a beautiful smile on her lips.
Well at least someone is happy. Feifei thought.
"Feifei, your cake was so awesome that Nan Sheng spent the entire night letting me feel how awesome the cake was!" Yanyan laughed so hard, so loud with her mouth wide open.
Looking at Yanyan, Feifei wished she would open her mouth a little more wider and just swallow him in.
He is mentally and emotionally tired that he wants to just quit everything all together and wants to be devoured into nothingness.
"Right." Feifei sneered and walked past her.
Yanyan laughed even louder.
"Would you continue to stay in Guhya or go back with me in Hisoki?" Yanyan asked as she followed Feifei to his private workspace.
Feifei halted in his tracks.
Stay or leave?
"I will consider this matter carefully." Feifei answered as he continued to walk.
"If your still undecided, would you want me to send your chickens and ducks over?"
"Why, did the haughty chicken and the tyrant duck bully you again?" Feifei smiled at the thought.
"Hmpf! It wasn't me. While I was at your house yesterday, my mother fed them. Who would have thought your haughty chicken would display her fiery temper and chase my mother all over your yard? My mother's head was like a nest of feathers! I saw her lips bleeding! Father said, mother came home in a bedraggled state! And to add insult to injury, your tyrant duck slid past the gate and went traipsing in the village like a true bully! Your tyrant duck was pecking all the people he met! Declaring his almighty sovereign!"
Feifei burst out laughing.
"You should fetch your haughty sister and tyrant brother home." Yanyan pleaded.
"Maybe my naughty sister thought your mother was out to kidnap and make a stew out of her. As for my tyrant brother... Well, he is just in the current stage of rebellion. Like most naughty kids in the village."
"Be prepared. That tyrant duck of yours has a lot of complainants. You, as their sister, is now facing a lawsuit!"
"Tut-tut. It seems like I, as their elder sister, has been negligent in teaching them lessons in etiquette."
"If I were you, I would stew them both!"
"Yanyan, how could you say that about my family members! I never thought you could be so.....murderous!" Feifei widen his eyes.
Before Yanyan could make a comeback, someone came running and shouted Feifei's name.
"Miss Chu! Miss Chu!!!"
