The room was quiet and more than ten minutes passes when he cleared his throat to break the silence.
The girl only glanced at him before she turned her gaze back to her phone.
"Why did you save me?" He asked, his obsidian eyes glittering in the dark room, his gaze on the girl's
"I just thought it would be fun having someone owe me his life." The girl's cold voice sounded, emotionless, she didn't raise her head.
'Did she save me just to make me do whatever she wants for her?.' Young Master Bai thought and then look at the ceiling before replying.
"I didn't ask you to save me, you did it because you pity me."
The girl finally looked at him and then she laughed coldly.
"Do I look like someone who pities people to you?, If that is what you think then you are wrong, I am not someone who has enough time to go around and save some fucking worthless people."
The worthless people the girl was referring to was naturally him which make him unhappy and he said with pain visible in his voice.
"I guess you've never been in this kind of position before, you will never understand how I felt, having many people chasing you to kill you, having those scornful stares of others on you, suffering every day, getting hurt every day until life held no meaning to you, I guess you haven't gone through all these."
He directed his gaze at the girl and what he saw was the sneer on her plump red lips.
"Another puppet, I see," The girl said thoughtfully looking at her phone and then adding mockingly.
"Man, I can understand your pain, you know, having to live for people for the rest of your life is quite painful..."
Then she looked at him in the eyes and then asked.
"What did you want for to happen to those people?."
Bai Sheng avoided her gaze because it was too deep, he then gave his reply.
"I want for them to experience the hurt I've felt, the pain I had gone through, the torture, the contempt, the sadness, and the horror I've faced."
The room descended into silence, the girl still had her eyes on him and stared at him for a minute before saying.
"This means your death will bring them nothing but pleasure, and happiness for getting you out of their way.
"Do you know why some people who are supposed to be dead aren't dead? one is that they care too much about life so they will always be extremely careful and the other is that they didn't care whether or not they die, so they will always be impulsive but these kinds of people don't usually die easily."
She paused for a moment and added.
"To them your life is worthless and you deserve to die but to your loved ones you never knew, you are like a walking treasure, a god in their heart."
"Worthless guy, the reason why I save you was that I wanted to try something out. I wanted to check how strong a man's determination can get. I wanted to know if people can do something not for love but out of hatred so I want you to take back anything that belongs to you, Bai Sheng"
Bai Sheng's eyes widened abruptly, he didn't remember telling this girl his name but she already knew it.
"How did you know my name, I didn't remember telling you?"
The girl's lips curled up and then she replied nonchalantly.
"Wouldn't I need to know the name of the person I am going to conduct my experiment on?."
"I have ordered porridge for you, it will arrive soon."
The girl then stood up and put her hand in her pants pocket and started walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Bai Sheng asked.
The girl had already reached the door, ready to turn the knob, and with her hand still on the doorknob, then she turned back to face him and replied.
"To where I came from."
"Then what about me?" Bai Sheng ask with wide eyes.
She crossed her hand against her chest and replied with a smirk.
"Leave when you are alright and I will be keeping eye on the news about you, Mr. Bai, I hope I wouldn't be disappointed."
"Anything else?" The girl asked.
"....I don't know your name."
"Just call me Miss Xi."
Then she walked away, living behind Bai Sheng whose determination now reached its peak. Ready to conquer all the obstacles that cross his path in taking back all that belongs to him.
