The Monster

I hope the flower will help reduce your pain.

When I wake up, I see a purple hyacinth beside my bed. To be honest it makes me so nervous and scared. I don't want to touch it but Bai He Lian who just got into my room clueless about what happened just touched it.

"Fei Yang, why did I never know that you like flowers?" She observes this flower carefully.

"I do like flowers but the flower is expensive so how come I waste money just to buy flowers?" I said.

Bai He Lian came closer. Her palm on my forehead right now. Wait. What's happened?

"Do you remember about last night?"

"Last night? What happened to me?" I asked curiously.

"A young man brought you here. So tell me. Why were you drunk last night? Do you have a problem? Just tell me if you have a problem. I will help you."

'Wait! Bai He Lian mentioned about a young man?'

"I am not drunk."

"No. You were drunk." I stared at her. "I was not drunk."

"Fei Yang, did you know last night you kissed him in front of me."

'What????? I kissed him?!!!!!'

"Yes and you made me so embarrassed." She protested.

"He Lian, tell me that you are joking now, right? I will never kiss."

"So now, you remember about that young man? He said that he is your friend so tell me about that man named Xi Wang."

Xi Wang? So I was not dreaming? He is real. He is not from my imagination.

"Bai He Lian, I think that man is so dangerous. Yesterday I was not drunk."

"Whatever you say. I won't trust you since I had saw how you almost rape him in front of me."

"That's impossible!!!"

"Uhm...You were so wild. I am shocked also." She smirked and held her smile.

"Bai He Lian, trust me! Do you still remember when I said someone wants to meet me?"

"Yes. I remember. Why?"

"That's him. That's him! The woman is his servant."

"Are you sure? But how do you know if that woman is his servant?" She asked me.

Yes. Bai He Lian makes me realize. How do I know about that? Oh God what happened here? What did that dangerous man do to me last night?

"I don't know. How do I know about that?"

"Fei Yang, to be honest I don't understand what happened between both of you but I think you should be careful from now on if he is really not an ordinary man. I have to admit he is so handsome but his eyes look so cold. I don't know how to explain to you about my first impression." She warned.

"Uhm."

"But If you really love him what can I do since you become like another person in front of him last night."

"What do you mean?" I am afraid but also curious about this matter.

"Perhaps you acted like that because you were drunk. Just forget it....Let's eat."

"I don't know. Talking with you just makes me more confused. By the way, He Lian, what's happened to you? You looked so worried about something. You knew, I will always help you."

"I think we have the same problem. I met someone dangerous. I think he knows about my past."

"Your past? He Lian, are you okay?"

"I am okay but I have to meet him often."

"What? Why?! Can't you just kill him?"

"Unfortunately, I cannot."

"But why?"

"Because he related to me in some mysterious ways. I am still looking for the reason why he is looking for me. So you have to be careful with that handsome man."

I can see Bai He Lian looked more serious than usual. She is right when she warns me about that man. I knew that I had to be super careful but he knew my home already. I can feel he will come again and I still don't have a clue what he is looking for.

"Fei Yang, listen." She grabs my wrist tightly. "I will fight him no matter what if he was the one who ruined my life. I don't know what's gonna happen. If I can be free from him. We can escape from here and live peacefully without any fear."

"Him? Who is he?" I asked. I never heard that name mentioned before.

"He is someone from my past. He must know about me and I need to know about my identity."

" Why do you want to fight with him? What is he doing to you? "

"I don't know."

"What? Are you serious? If he is not human, you have to kill him." I said.

"Fei Yang, you don't need to worry because he cannot kill me and I cannot kill him either. About Xi Wang, You have to be careful" She warned.

I was shocked when Bai He Lian mentioned his name. Xi Wang. I think Chen Sheng Lin must know about Xi Wang. They must not be ordinary men. Xi Wang can hypnotize me but I don't have craft or magic to fight him.

"I hope that man never appears in front of me." I said.

'I will come to you.'

His voice just popped up in my head. Why is he disturbing me like this? I never look for problems but it comes to me itself.

'I think we don't need to meet. If you need money I will transfer it to you.'

'I had told you that I don't need the money. I have been given it to you so don't worry.'

'Listen! I really don't want to have any connection with you.'

'But we always tied together. Wait for me. I will help you work today because your best friend has something to do with someone.'

'What?! You don't need to help me!'

"Bai He Lian, where are you going today?!" I asked her nervously.

She just looked at me and smiled. I know she will meet that man.

"Fei Yang, you don't need to worry. He cannot kill me." She replied.

"But he can hurt you!"

"As long as it will make our relationship end then I am okay. I have to face him someday and he required me to meet him today. How can you know about this?" She stared at me with her sharp gaze. "Don't tell me that he can telepathy with you?"

"Uhm." I admitted.

"Fei Yang, are you tied by that man?" She asked.

"He said so but I don't understand because I never met him before." I replied

"It's impossible. There is something that tied both of you."

"Bai He Lian, what do you mean?"
