Yanli woke up with a start, hearing her mother's anxious voice, her whole body was lifeless and with an IV bag attached to her, she felt so powerless and her face haggard because of the stupid thing she did, seeing the doctors and nurses busying themselves, it took some time for Yanli to process her thoughts
When she realized how stupid her thoughts were started contemplated the situation she is in, just as she remembered the system, she got pulled into the system space, as she appeared before the sleeping kid (system 000); she hardened her heart and decided to take the chance that fate has given to her
"Second chances are hard to come, but you were the chance I got when I was at my lowest point of life. I am sorry and I promise you I will do my best with you" said Yanli while looking at the sleeping system with a determined look.
A blue interface with a bunch of words came into Yanlis's view, startled she took a step back-patting her chest "damn that scared me... I need to get used to this" she looked surprised at the options interface is showing
[do you wish to have a conversation with me?]
Yanli narrowed her eyes suspiciously and answered "yes" as soon as she answered her surroundings changed to the beach, looking around she found someone sitting on the rock gazing at the beach, as she went near him. white hair, a wrinkled face and big mustache with a thick beard his eyes held some longing loneliness,
"Are you the one who called me here?" asked Yanli while taking a seat beside him
"Yes... the child would you listen to my story"
"I will"
"Hmm...It happened a long time ago that time I was curious about the human world so I came down to experience life there, but to experience that I have some conditions I have to take care of, without thinking much I accepted them and went to live on but later after a few years I fell in love with a beautiful person sadly I can't reveal my identity to her so I thought of forgetting her" taking a deep breath he started speaking his voice sounded hoarse and some nostalgic his feelings were written on his face, Yanli turned her gaze towards the sea while listening to him
"But I couldn't I just wanted to be with her, her smile, her voice I thought seeing her from far will be okay with me but when I saw her laugh with someone, I felt myself in pain" now he is lamenting there is some frustration in his voice.
"Then I planned to get near her, one of the conditions I agreed upon is to never reveal any trace of me in the world even if I am living there, we became friends on a chatting app I covered all my traces so I could chat with her only on the app and only in the night time will my physical appearance can be seen so I made up my mind and executed my plan" Yanli chuckled at his remark as he sounded like a proud kid. He gave her a side glance to her chuckling and continued
"Yet I was found out, you see my lady was quite intelligent, to begin with, and with how well done I did my job on covering up she got no clue of me when she tried to find me with that I ended up as some fraudster in her view so she ignored me" saying he sighed heavily 'ack that was a bummer' Yanli thought so but choose not to voice it out,
"I was unable to bear the thought of her leaving me so I ended up asking her to meet me outside at night time, to prove my existence but a mishap happened and I got caught by her and my secret of me being not a human and my conditions she accepted all of them we were so happy in love" his sounded so relieved and happy while saying,
listening to him Yanli narrowed her eyes 'if it is that simple why would he plan to make a move on her this old man is leaving out details'
"But one incident changed my whole love life, my lady was a successful woman and she was the only daughter of her wealthy family, her so-called relatives tried to get her through the marriage but she refused because of me since I can't reveal myself, it became a big problem but she never once said complained about that to me about all those...how I wished her to complain to me" his voice has no emotion when he said this Yanli just nodded her head to him but didn't comment on the change in his voice
"When I asked her to share them with me her response was that my love and my existence are precious things that happened in her life and she would never regret them happening, say don't you think my lady is amazing, she is so wonderful that it caused a huge problem "there again he sounded so sad, Yanli thought 'he is leaving out details again' nodded to him, but his next sentence stunned her
"Someone tried to kill her through an accident, on that night of the accident, I was with her and we both lucky were to be alive from that but her condition worsened on the way to the hospital and the night is nearing its end because my powers will be almost nonexistent if I am in my physical appearance. I called her parents and signed the form for her operation but her operation ended in a day and I disappeared before her operation" he sounded so angry the air around them filled with complete silence to his words
"Thanks to the heavens she was saved and well but those assassination attempts never ended, her so-called relatives poisoned her and it was too late saved her from that, at that moment my world was crumbling and I was about to lose her, at that moment I broke my condition of using my powers and gave her the half of my life force so that she could live" Yanli got intrigued and listened to him in complete silence
"But the consequence of me using my powers is that I would end up getting punished by forgetting her existence, but none of that mattered to me, later I forgot her but the pain of forgetting her was still unbearable to me I was cursed to serve my life as two people through day and night by day, it was horrible to me all that sadness and pain I was unable to bear them I found myself crying countless times but what I am crying for I don't know" his voice filled with sorrow and pain can be heard very clearly, yet Yanli showed confusion and remained silent
"One day, in the midst of my daily life with an unexpected turn of events my lady stood Infront of me asking me what happened to me at that very movement all the pain and struggle I felt vanished by seeing her but I couldn't reveal my identity to her so I ignored her, but the fate was not in my Favour, my nightlife person is the one she was engaged to her by her parents" hearing this Yanli smirked 'how foolish'
"My lady found me and kidnapped in during daily life, for hours she asked me to speak with her, comforted me and convinced me for saying the truth but I was determined not to drag her into any danger and hardened myself to not to say anything, as a matter of fact,
my lady is very bold you see as a last resort, she cut her wrist in Infront of me, the sight of blood flowing out terrified me and I used the remaining power in me to stop the bleeding like that I lost all my power and I became a complete human being my form changed to my nightlife appearance" he sounded very happy, Yanli just looked at him her expression read 'how pathetic'
At the same time, he looked at her seeing her expression he was amused and asked "do I look that pathetic to you?"
"yes" Yanli answered without any hesitation, he laughed at her answer and spoke
"After all that happened, we got married, my lady and I have spent a blissful life, I was very happy with all those memories I made with my wife. I was with my wife until my last breath, after I died as a human being my soul transferred back, and was given the role of giving second life. child what do you think?"
"What do I have to think?" replied Yanli
"don't you want to ask anything? After listening to my story" he was very persistent on getting her to say something
