It's 2022,the events that happened in Lei's life were exactly 14 years ago, which was in 2008, when she was 10 years old.
-14 year ago-
"I'm sorry honey, but for now you both have to stay in your grandpa and grandma house"
Says the woman in her mid late early 30s giving her childrens a painful smile, showing what she is doing is not intended.
"I promise after we finish our business trip, we will bring you both to fun places.And Kin,please listen to your older sister okay? "
The pink-haired boy who was around 5 years old that was standing next to his older sister nodded as he understood what his mother told him.
"We are going now, take care"
Both of the kids look toward the door, witnessing their parents leaving their grandparents' big house.
…
The doorbells rang and at the same time a family stood outside waiting for someone to open the door.
Later, a blue haired maid rushed towards the door to open it. As soon as she opened it, she bowed a 90° bow, to show her respect.
"Please come inside, i will show you the way" Says the maid with a nice polite tone, inviting the guest inside the house.
The respectful family begins to take a step inside the house, following the maid as a direction to the living room.
You can see the two kids playing with toys as soon as you reach the living room. Along with a married couple that now is in their mid 70s, having a strict look.
The married couple stood up as soon as they saw the respectful Zhao Family. Greeting each other.
"What brings you here Mr. Zhao?" Lei's grandpa asked the head of the family, which is Mr.Zhao.
" I came here just to greet you and tell you the news about us becoming your neighbor, haha! " Says Mr.Zhao cheerfully.
"Oh? That's quite a shocker," Lei's grandma voiced her opinion.
" It is " Mrs.Zhao speaks up with a short reply while having a sly looking look.
Both of the women stare at each other deeply as if they are having a killing intent.
" Well? Don't I have cute grandchildrens? " Lei's grandpa interferes, with an intention to change the topic before it goes to something else.
Both Lei and her little brother Kin, look towards their grandpa.
" Yes! Both of them are so cute, they should get along with Yien and Yin'e " reply Mr. Zhao, suggesting Lei and her little brother to be friends with both of his twin daughters.
Lei, Kin, Yien and Yin'e stare at each other. While Kin is busy trying to hide behind his sister, Yien takes a step forward.
"Hello! My name is Yien. What's yours?" Says the cheerful child, Yien.
Before Lei replies to Yiens greeting, she scans Yien's whole look as if she can get something out of it.
" Hi, my name is Lei, and this is my little brother Kin " Finally, Lei replied.
" Nice to meet you, Lei! This is my older twin sister, Yin'e " Says Yien. Yin'e slowly raised her little hand, trying to wave at Lei.
" Is that your twin ? You guys don't look similar at all " Lei speaks boldly as she has nothing to be afraid of.
"Huh?What do you mean?" her confusion shows by the way she tilts her head,
"We look exactly like each other, though.." the girl said as she pulled her twin sister closer.
After the Zhao Family finished talking with Lei's grandparents , the Zhao Family finally stood up, and walked out of the house.
Lei take a glance at Yin'e before she finally leaving with a thought
' I wanna be her friend ' for the first time.
..
Lei's grandma approaches Lei with a stern looking face expression.
" Don't ever be friends with them, you are not supposed to be their friend " Says Lei's grandma strictly.
Lei frowned .Disappointed with what her grandma just said, she starts questioning herself why she's forbidden to befriend them.
…
On the way of Lei going back to her room, she accidentally stepped on something hard. She took a step away and saw a pink hairpin on the floor.
Lei took the pink hairpin and went back to her room. As she sat on her bed, she tried to identify the hairpin's owner.
She quickly remembers that the hairpin she's holding was Yin'e's.
Since the Zhao's family house is nearby, she plans to take a visit and return it to the quiet girl. Perhaps Lei can get to know her more during the visit.
To Be Continued.
