Candy

....

"Xiao Lu , nah" , Xi Mu gives the leftover sandwich to his secretary .

Xiao Lu stands there blankly looking at the tons of sandwich on his arm . "Master...this...this...I can't eat this much !" , Xiao Lu whined .

"Shuh ! Go give anyone else ."

"Hmm...okay..." , he said unwillingly .

Xiao Lu goes out of Xi Mu's office while whining .

....

"Do you guys find her?"

"Not yet , sir"

He punches the table hard . "Shit , why can't even one of you do a proper job ?!" , Qi Mu Yan said it angrily . "I said it , get her out from the house before setting the house on fire ! Why you guys can't do it !!!"

"We did search for her , sir... but she's nowhere to be found" , one of the underlings exclaimed .

Suddenly someone enters the meeting room and went to Qi Mu Yan with tablet . "Sir , please look at this" , he showed him a video .

Qi Mu Yan gritted his teeth as he saw the girl go into the woods strugglingly . His fist clenched as he saw that girl almost fall when escaping .

"Gather all the men we had and find her . I don't care if she is dead or not , I want her body in front of me , understand ?!!" , he give the order fast , worrying about the girl he betrayed .

"Understand , sir !" , all of them rushed out . Scared to be scolded again .

As soon as all of them were out of the room , Qi Mu Yan fell to the floor , looking helpless , "Xiao Xiu , where are you ? I'm...I'm sorry..I...I didn't mean too..." , the tears flowing to his white cheeks .

....

Xiu awake . She just dreamed about that night again . Sweat drenched her clothes . That night get her trauma , making her couldn't trust anyone anymore .

Clak!

The door opened . Xi Mu went inside with a tray that have tea , bread, and her medicine . Xi Mu look at her and put the tray on the table and rushed to her .

"What happened ? Why are you sweating so much ?" , he asked and took the aircon's remote control to increase the temperature . Afraid she will catch a cold .

"Nothing , just a nightmare" , she answered as she get down from the bed .

Xi Mu helped her down and make her sit on the chair . He poured down the hot tea and let it cool off for a while . He unwrapped the bread and give it to her . "Here , eat this . You need to eat your medicine again" , he said while he blow on the tea to make it less hot fast .

"Thanks" , she takes it from Xi Mu's hand and eat a bite of it . She gives it back to him . "Nah , I don't want any more"

Xi Mu take the bread from her and get up walked to the table at the side of the bed , opened the drawer, and took out something from there . He comes back to the table where Xiu is and unwrapped the thing he got from there . Out of curiosity , she asked ,"What's that?"

"Candy" , he said and put the candy in her mouth using his big hand .

Xiu was shocked when he shoved the candy into her mouth and wanna get angry but then the flavor of the candy make her stop .

"Hey,this candy is so sweet...!! So fruity !! I like flavor like this the most ! Do you have more ?" , she asked shamelessly .

Xi Mu smiled and shook his head , "Here , eat medicine first" , he give her the pill that he took out from the medicine box .

Xiu pouted . "Hmm...okay" , she take the medicine and swallow it .

"There's many in there , just take it anytime you want"

Xiu eyes sparkled and went straight to the drawer of that table and opened it . "Wahhh...what are you doing with this much candy , I checked before but there's nothing in this" , she just exposed herself .

"Ohh...so you checked everything already , girl ?" , he smiled .
