2 Chapter 2 The Past Mischief
The morning sunlight radiating the whole capital of Zhou, in a certain part of a buzzling market there's a certain young man with beautiful features but not too delicate, a peach blossom eyes together with Phoenix-like eyebrows, smooth like jade face, slim figure but a not so tall heights with a slightly upturned pink lips. Walks like a rich young master from a wealthy family.
Although his clothes are only made of a mediocare quality. His own aura that seems radiated, have a mix of a gentleness of a scholar's couple with a positive outlook in life that makes other people saw him, have a good favorable impression towards the young man. Even those who have a bad intention is giving him weard look.
Happily walking, Hua Ling Jie happy mood cannot be contained by a simple smile, and also start humming a chearful song while looking for a good stall that sell her favorite foods as to have breakfast.
While thinking of the fast events in there home fell like a dream for Ling Jie.
Do not misunderstand! Her life together with her family is truly harmonious!
Not like those others that being bullied or what.
Her life is too perfect, have a loving parents, a doting elder brothers, a nice and kind sister in law, cute nephew and niece. Truly harmonious.
Oh oh just let me clear one thing! Although wearing a man's clothe is one of her passion, but beneath it is a healthy body of a young lady, alright?
If you ask why I'm wearing this kind of clothing, well duh, of course is to avoid beind kidnap by bad people. And my ending will either sell to other aristocrats family or worse in a brothel.
Aren't I stupid if I wear woman's cloaths if i want to have a peaceful time to have fun?
Oh well being the only daugther of the Hua Family is not a bad thing.
There's no second,third or so wife or a concubine thing in the manor. Even those three older brothers of hers only have one wife, her other two older brothes are still not married.
This one wife policy came from our great grandfather and all the way to my brothers taken effects.
Haha.. nice right?
No such conspiracy inside the manor is much more beneficial to us than to be paranoid all time.
As for me... The little baby of the family got doted so much!
That I want to run away already and hide somewhere.
But I'm just joking, clearly only stupid people will do such thing. I'm easily bored so I always find a chance to explore the outside world. Though the outside world is consists of dangerous and full of evil people base from my father and older brothers.
I'am still curious as to how normal people do they're usual everyday life. And sometimes experiencing it by myself is much more wonderful.
I'm been doing this for three years already. And currently I'm turning sixteen five months from now, in short I only have five months to enjoy this small freedom of mine before I get sentence to death.
Ahh..no..no.. not that kind of literally death, that bloodbath will occur.
As I need to be engaged to be married to whom my father think that suitable for me. Isn't that kind of like locking me to a small house, and waiting to die of boredom?
Ahh my freedom is realy too cheap T_T
Signing to her impending doomed. Ling Jie found a stall that sell her favorite meat bun, so she readily buyed five pieces to slowly gnawed and to sought her growling stomach.
While looking here and there, she came upon a good show where a woman in the middle of the street crying, with a mess hair, a ruined make-up, and a super messy clothing.
I still have too many words to describe the pitiful woman but I'll just say it in one word, she looks scary! seriously even ghost will get scared of her appearance ..tsk..tsk..
Covered with her snot and tears, the woman keep weaping towards a guy whose only so-so, just look normal and nothing conspicious.
Oh it's a lovers quarrel, well I can easily tell because there voice is too loud.
Even a storytellers will be embarrass at there brutal play.
So as the short story to be shorter. The guy wants to clear-up a line to their relationship to the woman with snot and tears, just because he found someone else he love.
Creasing her brows, Ling Jie felt like the world is truly mysterious.
Although the woman whose weeping like a ghost is in a mess, she's still a little beauty ah! minus her messy get-up.
And the man whose saying that he love somebody else look at his right side. And there, a woman whose face is full of mockery to the others came to her view.
But sad to say her face is much more to be monk. Having a square face with a thick eyebrows and mind you, her face is covered with a heavy make-up.
With a face like that...tsk..tsk
Is she scared she won't be recognized as the third party?
Openly sneering with a face like that.
Sister are you sure your not the one being monk instead?
Listening to the others gossip. With a frown on her face. Ling Jie found out that the square face woman is a daughter of a wealthy merchant family
Hayyy...today I learn a great lesson,
that money is Power and can easily be recognized as love at first sigth.
Finishing the task to gossip, just as she was about to step out of the crowd and to continue the journey to explore the area.
Across the road there's an establishment that seems to be not remarkable, a silhouette of a tall man wearing a luxurious clothes that made from a highest quality of silk walk out.
Walking with a steady foot step directly walking to the place of drama.
She can't describes the man's appearance properly, cause of the sunrays that directly shining on his face. She only caught the long hair that swaying through the wind.
Squinting her eyes to take a good look.
Is this another drama to be unfold?,she thought.
While eating her meat bun, maybe because of her excitement to watch an even exciting play than to see her own brother to exhibit there boring talent to her.
She didn't realize that when she took a big bite in her meat bun, she accidentally swallowed it without even chowing it properly, and the consequences is...of course she choked.
Her eyes widen in shock, clutching her neck, tears almost pouring out from her peace blossom eyes, her small face changing color, from red, to green, to pale white seems interesting.
Her abnormaly weird action gained the attentions of the other onlookers in her side. There face seems seeing interesting sight that to be take note off.
Trying to force vomit the meat bun that got stock on Ling Jie's throat, she felt like dying. Not because of humiliation, but because the meat bun that she bougth for one silver flew away somewhere because of her action.
My meat bun!? please come back, I'm still not finish eating you!!
Her crying thought waver a bit.
There's so many people around but they choose to just watch me to choked to death!
Daddy is right! My brothers are right!
All people except my family have black heart! If I die I'll curse you all to death!
Busy cursing in her mind.
Ling Jie didn't sense a person at her side, readying herself for her last attempt to vomit the big piece of meat bun on her throat.
Suddenly a powerful arms encircle her slim waist, and her back fell in a wide hard chest almost hugging her to the extent that makes her very soul fly away.
And at the following moment, not even took a breath time, the pair of arms forcefully squeeze her stomach and the piece of meat bun flew away, giving back her chance to breath of air back in her system.
Before she can regain her putting. The arms that encircled her waist, spun her 180 degree. Ling Jie sight almost swirl a bit, having a hard time focusing her attention to her savior.
When her stock-up mind cleared-up, she almost lost her breathing again, facing a breathtaking view of an unworldly handsome man is shocking, much to her that just face a life and death situation.
Long luscious black hair, heroic eyebrows, a high straight nose, pale skin, thin pink lips, and a body that oozing sex appeal.
Say..if she sell this man, doesn't that mean she'll be wealthy overnight?
But wait! This man is her savior! Absolutely no bad thought's!
Shaking her head madly, Ling Jie's crazy thought's cleared up a bit.
Smilling brightly with her small pink lips, "Savior! This little brother is thankful for your untimely help!" said Ling Jie while bowing her head happily.
Strangely, her savior keeps on directly looking at her, as if in deep thought's and didn't hear what she say's.
At the sudden impulse, she also directly look at his eyes without a second thought. Looking at the man's black eyes is like a whirlpool that suck's her whole being. She got scared and abruptly change her lined of sights.
Clutching her hands, Ling Jie's nervousness makes her heart's pound so much, swallowing her saliva.
Creasing her brows, Ling Jie's emotion is a bit ashtray. Shaking her head furiously and complicated feelings, she put her strange behavior at the back of her mind.
"You should eat appropriately nextime as to avoid choking, Little brother" a warm voice rang in Ling Jie's ear, blinking her eyes she look upon at the man in front if her.
Cannot repute those words because of the truthfulness of it.
"Ahh! hehe yes..yes..ill take note of that" With a grinning face showing her snowy white teeth, she didnt discovered a glint flash pass the man's eye while looking at her.
