"All you have to do is anxiously work on improving your stay here with that human, and don't try playing any games. Because if you do...I'll do worse than just showing the book to you..." He smirked looking at him.
SiChen had his fist Clenched to the Stirling wheel. He was furious, but he had to hold it in. He couldn't express his anger towards him no matter what, At least not for now...
Just as he gripped the Stirling, trying to calm his fury, a certain feeling went through him. It was a feeling that he had made himself develop. A feeling of alertness.
He knew now that YiMing was in danger.
****
YiMing turned to look at the cat sitting in the middle of the road.
The cat seemed panicked and lost. While it sat there, cars and other vehicles had driven past it but it was lucky to have escaped their wrath.
Who knew when its luck would eventually run out. And that bothered YiMing.
As sympathizing as she could be, she stood there watching as the cat moved about, obviously trying to escape from the traffic. She feared what worse fate might come upon this poor cat. And this led to her zeal to save it.
"That...." She stared at the cat and continued strolling about within the danger zone. she looked around at the vehicles making their moves and then she went up to the traffic light.
It went red and the vehicles had stopped. She saw the opportunity and then quickly took it, making her step into the road to save the cat.
Her senior didn't look in her direction, and nor did he try stopping her or talking to her. He was still Busy with his drawing..and now in his drawing, he was adding a huge truck car that lost control.
As YiMing stepped into the road, she made her way towards the cat that had just sat there, leaking its paws
On arriving, she bent before it, "Hey, little kitty, come let's leave immediately, it's dangerous here" This was the only word she said before she heard another...
The sound of a truck approaching was heard.
The truck seemed to have lost its control as the driver struggled with keeping up with his Stirling.
"Out of the way!!" The driver had warned as the cars and vehicles which had stopped at the red light quickly began making their turns and leaving the spot for their dear lives!
Before long, the path was empty giving the truck free access to YiMing who bent there at the zebra cross mark and before the cat.
Looking to her right, the scene that YiMing saw could make one's Heart race right out of her chest, and it did just that.
The image of the truck struggling with its balance as it approached her was what was stuck in her head. She couldn't move like she was paused, she bent there looking at it as it approached.
Slowly and slowly it drew near and at the same time, YiMing was losing hope of escaping from it.
"Was this it?" She asked herself "Was this how it all will suddenly come to an end?"
At the moment, she was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and then relief. She knew she should entirely feel relieved. This was what she wanted after all! To die and leave.
But now facing death didn't seem much peaceful as she thought. She was afraid.
And as the truck was close enough to hit her, she flipped her eyes closed to not see how it all unfolds. She'd prefer a quick death which she wouldn't see how it went down.
But the with her eyes closed. The classic happened and nothing happened.
She wondered if she was dead. Was it that quick and not painful at all?! Why didn't she feel herself being smashed by the car?
She was more confused and needed answers to her questions. To get this, she knew she'd have to do the basics and flip open her eyes.
And she did so.
YiMing slowly opened her eyes. The first thing that caught her eyes was the truck before her.
The truck had paused as though a remote control had done the work.
She blinked twice to be certain of what she was seeing but she confirmed that it indeed has frozen!
Her eyes looked around the road and the same applied to the people and other vehicles around. They were all paused.
As she watched the frozen vehicles and humans around, she couldn't help but feel familiar with the scenery.
It was then she Urged herself to recall where she had seen such before and before she could completely recall where it was, she heard a footstep stop before her.
"Do you desperately wish to die that much?"
The voice had come before her, sounding as familiar as ever! and it didn't take YiMing long to recognize who it was.
She had looked down at the black shoes of this man standing before her and slowly took her eyes up to meet his face.
The cold and distant face of SiChen stood there, looking down at her like she was a pathetic being.
She said nothing. She should have known it was him. He had previously paused everything as well at the hug scene...So this was certainly his doing too.
"You...." She was lost for words, looking up at him.
He simply stretched out his hands to her.
"Remember, You cannot ever die without my permission"
