8 Unexpected

"Zhou Ying Zhen!"

"Oh, seems like the man itself appeared" Saying it in a lax tone made him even more mad.

"What-What are you doing here, Feng-ge?" My sister was still confused, still thinking a thousands reasons for the greatest man itself named Wei Feng Li.

"Ask it to your sister! She threatened me that she'll post....post a picture in the internet!" He hissed while he looks at me with his furious eyes.

"It's just a picture of you in a dress, what's the big deal?" Then I gave him an innocent with my head titling into the left side producing an innocent frail image of a woman.

"Give it back to me you scheming woman! How dare you parade that?!" He shouted while he walk at me and take my injured hand.

"Let go"

"Give it back first"

Tension filled the air as my sister look at us back and forth as she grew more fidgety from the cold war that is coming from the two of us. He was still holding my inured arm, though it was healed, the pain still made me wince but I fought it.

Never would I show my vulnerable side to him again, never.

"I think you should let her go Feng-ge, her hand is stil-"

Before she could complete her words, a resounding slap was heard and for a moment, and all I could do was to stare at him, unflinching from his deadly cold stare.

"No one...No one had ever hit me and to think-to think that I'll be hit by you? Ha! That is totally....unacceptable"

Then he suddenly leap and squeeze my neck, holding it firmly, as if a vine was suddenly gripping my leg, not letting me breathe.

"Feng-ge!"

My sister shouted my name and his repeatedly as she pleads for Feng-ge to spare me. I didn't know why she would plead for me, he wasn't killing me but was simply warning me.

It was already light considering the fact that he was a ruthless cold-blooded man who can took a life with just a snap.

"Tell me.....why aren't you afraid?"

"It's because I need you.....and being your comrade....I would need a big gut and empty out any fear I have in life"

My words made his eyes slightly widen, then it turned into slits as he finally let out a smile like that of a demon.

"What do you want? And for your information, I don't do favors but negotiations"

...

The night was dark and silent, only the shimmering light of the moon gave some light into the endless abyss of darkness in the sky. With only the moon and the star accompanying the night, a rustle was heard and soon, light agile foot steps were now seen jumping around the hospitals fence and opening the door of someone's room.

Meanwhile, Ying Zhen was sleeping, her eyes were shut tightly as she encounters another nightmare; or should she think of as her memory from the past.

The man who was covered in full black and with a mask in his face, only his black obsidian phoenix eyes could be seen. Taking the syringe on his pockets, he test it out and when it was only spurting out white liquid did he once look again at the woman.

Yet something's different.

Her eyes have already opened itself, adjusting to the dark, she narrow her eyes to the black clothed man before it widens up and morph into some kind of emotion she knew she have lost way back before. The man didn't do anything except to gaze at her slightly misty eyes, the locks in her hair were falling from her small pale face which was covered in sweat.

She's the only thing he could see.

"How are you, Hui Fan?"

Hui Fan meaning clever and lethal, perfect for his name.

Her words gave a big shock on his face that couldn't be concealed by his mask, where it only highlighted his pair of phoenix eyes which are gazing at her with astonishment and interest.

"How did you know my name?" Voice as cold as ice, tone as hard as stone, Ying Zhen chuckled at herself while she arranged her composure in front of the man.

"It doesn't matter...though...I have a proposition for you"

With his eyes straightly looking at her, she opened her mouth and said the words she longed to say for years of regret and pain.
