Lao Yu, Rest Well

After leaving the hospital, Yan Shu instructed Ling Mo to go to the cemetery.

The car stopped by a flower shop as Yan Shu intended to buy white lilies for offerings.

When they reached the cemetery, she headed to the place where Lao Yu was buried. Ling Mo thought she must have gone to visit her parents so he stayed in the car to provide her personal space. 

Yan Shu's footsteps slowed as she neared the grave. The smell of newly turned earth was still fresh, mixed with the aroma of fresh flowers laid upon it. On the gravestone, the picture of a young man was attached. The warm smile on his face makes one hard to believe that he was no more alive. How cruel God must have been to snatch away such a lovely boy from his loved ones so soon.

Yan Shu squatted down beside the grave and offered the flowers wishing him peace in afterlife and a rebirth.

"Lao Yu, sorry for coming late. I made you wait again, are you angry?" Her voice trembled , her throat getting drier with every word she spat out.

" Are you adjusting well on other side? I wish I could join you but God must hate me to leave me out like this. I will take care of uncle and aunt, you don't have to worry about anything. But how can you leave me so suddenly? Who will drive me now? Who will nag me every time I delay? Who will praise me hundreds of times a day now that you are not here? " At last, she burst into tears as she kept blabbering there looking at the picture of Lao Yu. Time seemed to stop there for a long time until she came back to her senses. She caressed the grave and glanced at it for a long time before finally standing up.

" You think I will let you off so easily!! Keep dreaming, I am going to visit you as often as I can and torture you to death by nagging." She scoffed as her lips crooked up, tears flowing down her cheeks. Each sob getting louder she stood up and turned around to leave.

"Ouch.. what the....?" Just as she turned around , her nose got hit by something hard. She looked up only to see a man glaring at her deeply with narrowed eyes.

'Shit, why is it him again?'

She tried to look sideways avoiding his stare to hide her puffed swelled face.

"What a coincidence, Miss Su. May be it's fate. " Si Junyan threw a shot at her lifting one of his eyebrows while the other squinted.

"Mr. Si sure has gotten old to believe in such things like F-A-T-E." She found him quite irritating after bumping into him twice in a day that has yet to pass and that's also when she is at her lowest moments. She did not want anyone to witness her like this. After all, people will only admire you and respect you if you are strong not timid and broken.

Seeing her face getting red in anger with puffed eyes, Si Junyan found her adorable and did not want to let her go. He himself doesn't know since when he has become so childish.

"I don't know about that but I am interested in knowing why you are here."

Caught off-guard for once was enough for Yan Shu. She regained her composure as she gave him a half-smile and scoffed, "You should mind your own business, poking your nose in other's matter might make you stinky." She smugly put her hands on her hoodie pockets and pushed his shoulder lightly with hers before heading towards the entrance.

Unknowingly his lips curled up in a thin line as he watched the little girl walking in a cool manner with her back facing him. Unbeknownst to him, his heart skipped a beat, a rush of feeling gushed into him which he haven't felt since a long time.

Yan Shu hurriedly pulled the car door before getting into it making a loud sound. Ling Mo wondered why this Cold quiet Miss was behaving so strangely today. First a friend popped out from nowhere and now before entering the cemetery she was fine but after coming out why she looked like she was being chased by someone. 'Could it be the grave ghosts?' As a horror fantasy fan his mind started to imagine wild horror scenes.

"Drive to Jingsheng Compound. " Yan Shu poked Ling Mo when she saw he was in a daze not giving any response to her calls.

"Huh... oh okay." Not until Yan Shu spoke did he snapped back to his senses and started the car.

When they reached the compound gate, they were stopped by the security.

"Sir, which home are you heading to?" The security guard came out when he saw a new car entering and asked the driver.

Jingsheng Compound had a strict security which is why houses in it cost higher than other places of the city. Every cars or vehicles that enter the area needed to be registered under the owner's consent, to whose place they are heading to or if the car belongs to the owner ,he/she will have to get it registered beforehand. As some people living in it were influential figures, while some were celebrities or people in high ranks, it was nothing unexpected.

Yan Shu's home here was originally her mom's which was now under her name. She and her mother lived here since long ago, maybe long before she was born.

"We are heading to house no.5." Yan Shu came out of the car as she knew they won't be able to enter today.

"Sorry, but the owner isn't at home so I can't let you go in. " The guard knew it was Yan Shu's home, to whom he was a fan of. He knew that apart from her assistant and manager she doesn't have any relatives so his suspicion grew over them.

Yan Shu never thought it would be so hard to enter her own home one day.

A black sedan suddenly stopped beside their car. The security guard instantly saluted seeing the car as he made way for the car to enter.

Yan Shu immediately recognized the car. It was her neighbor's car who moved to her next door just two years ago. Due to her busy schedule and work she was always out of home and out of city and hence, she never saw the other person. She also found her neighbor quite strange. She have never seen him coming out of his home but his car which seems to go out in the morning only returns after midnight and sometimes doesn't even return.

A man in formal attire came out from the sedan's driver's seat and whispered something in the guard's ear before getting back into it.

"Miss, sorry for the inconvenience. You are allowed to enter for today and anytime you come in the upcoming days." The guard panicked and bowed to Yan Shu while cold sweats formed in his head as he kept apologizing to Yan Shu for stopping her.

Yan Shu was stunned by his sudden transformation in attitude but she did not care much. After all, all that matters is that she is now allowed to go to her home.

She knocked the tinted black windows of the sedan to thank the person who seemed to have no intentions to reply back.

Si Junyan stared at the delicate face outside the window as he observed her face. He did not seem to hear what she was saying.

Assistant Hu thought his boss did not want to talk so he opened his side of the window and popped his head out a bit to give response.

"Its no trouble, Miss. We will take our leave now." He closed the window and started the car. He did not notice the change of expression in his Boss's face instead wondered why he was feeling so cold suddenly.

After the sedan left, The bentley followed.

Yan Shu entered her home , took few necessities before leaving and headed to the Su Villa afterwards.
