"What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
SiChen's voice was snappy and harsh that even YiMing stiffened on hearing it. He glared at YiMing, his eyes clouded with anger and annoyance. He was panting softly with his hands clenched.
YiMing was looking down, frightened by the harsh tone he had used. She knew she had gotten into trouble with him but what was done had been done and there's nothing to do about it.
"Why did you do that? Are you just naturally insane and annoying?! Do you always nose around into other people's businesses?! Do you just go about annoying everyone with your absurd and irrational behavior?!" He snapped.
The anger, fury, and annoyance he felt were expressed in his harsh words.
YiMing was mute, she didn't say anything but bore all the scolding he could shower on her. She didn't attempt to say anything, she didn't feel like she'd explain why she had done what she did.
No one could understand her, no one. So she didn't bother explaining anyways.
"Now... you've let off the ghost, what then do you intend on doing?! Looking for it? Because you know it's impossible! Do you have to be this annoying!" He snapped.
She didn't say anything, she didn't scold back and walk. She just stood there.
"Maybe I should just leave you, when next it comes after you, you handle it. Because you're the cause behind it anyways.."
"Yes..." She finally said, shutting him up "I'd be best if you leave me to it" She looked up at him "I know I had told you to leave me to be... Go about your heartless life to taking souls...and leave me to mine... I had told you before right?"
"And I don't remember calling you over here to my rescue. It's still because you're nosy that you have to come into my business, Isn't it like that as well?"
"What? I'm nosy?! what makes you think I want to be here...."
"Just stop with your Excuse, it's annoying to listen to," She said "You can call me Annoying and all words you could come up with. It's Okey because I don't even intend to make you understand . How can a heartless monster like you even understand... It's obvious"
She looked down again "My life is already terrible. So don't come into it and make it more unbearable. And don't ever scold me like that... It's annoying" She said.
She spoke calmly but nailed the information she had wanted to pass out. And judging from SiChen's expression, he certainly was pissed off by her words.
"How can you make it look like I'm at fault...?"
"Because you are" She interrupted looking at him "Mr. Grim reaper, maybe by the time you too begin to understand human feelings, maybe by then you'll be less a monster and annoying as well," She said as she turned and walked out on him.
Sichen stood there, shocked and annoyed at the same time. Watching her leave, he couldn't believe her nerves! She had turned the tables on him!
But that wasn't his main annoyance, this girl who had disrupted his perfect working life twice had called him a heartless monster! She had said he was following her about?!
It was driving him crazy! "Like I even want to spend any minute with you!" He snapped. It was only his punishment all Because of her again!
Three years?! Sichen found it way too long. He wondered how he'd be able to tolerate her for so long!
"Gosh!" He snapped as he kicked away a can that lay there. He sighed as he looked at the stopwatch on the floor.

"When I saw her eyes...I just saw myself..." YiMing thought to herself as she sat on her study table in her room. She had books before her that she was going through.
"Was it even possible?. But it happened that way... Those eyes of hers were the eyes of longing and searching. The eyes that seek a loved one... The saddened eyes that had been like that for years.."
YiMing flipped through the book before her, trying to study. But she was distracted. She stopped looking up at the study plan she had made before her on the wall.
The thought of the ghost had flashed through her mind. She had wanted help... simply held and wasn't gonna bring harm to anyone.
This was a ghost looking for a loved one...why should she be given such unfair treatment by these heartless grim reapers?! YiMing thought.
She couldn't stop thinking about the ghost. Her heart sympathized with the ghost every time she recalled her.
She could understand what the ghost felt... Longing for a loved one. She had been in such a predicament for.. uncountable time and there was no one around who understood.
YiMing understood, and it was a much better reason for her to want to help her.

The next morning was as busy as always, clouded with people who headed to Their workplaces and students heading to school.
There was much chattering through the roadside as well.
YiMing, dressed in her uniform had arrived at the roadside. Across the road was the bus stop where she intended to cross and take the bus to her school.
But before she could cross, she heard a scream.
She stopped and slowly looked to her right, far away. The image of someone hit by a recklessly driving bike was what she saw.
And the woman victim who was probably crossing the road had fallen to the floor. Unconscious? YiMing thought.
People had gathered at the scene immediately, holding the reckless driver responsible.
And YiMing's theory of the woman being unconscious was broken when he saw a Grim reaper walking toward the scene
YiMing watched as the reaper took out the woman's soul and then the woman's soul who had looked at her dead body for a while, sadly followed.
YiMing looked in the direction they left. That wasn't Sichen, but she wasn't surprised because she knew they'd be more than one Grim reaper for the jobs of people's death.
She sighed, still watching as be eyes met with a familiar figure.
Looking closely, it was Her senior crush.
She stiffened watching as he sat on a bench not so far from the Accident, also in uniforms.
He was with his book, writing something but that wasn't YiMing's observations.
YiMing had noticed that he too was looking in the direction of the Grim Reaper and the woman's left.
Her first thought was, could he see them as well?!
