When Dhir signed the "one year marriage contract" he didn't know that it would be his  regret of life... If he had known he would have signed a lifetime contract....

When Dheer signed the "one-year marriage contract" he didn't know that it would be the regret of his life...If he had known he would have made it a lifetime contract.

But a dream stopped him from making more mistakes. 

Dreams are now guiding him to make the right decisions.

Will he be able to change the flow of time with the help of those dreams?

"Stop staring Dheer. You're gonna bore a hole on her face" Elisa growled.

"I can't... She's looking too beautiful today and attracting all that unwanted attention from unwanted people" Dheer frowned.

"It's her friend Dheer, and they are just having a chat there"

"How can she smile that way towards other men. It's unacceptable. She's never shown that smile towards me except for those in my dreams" Dheer grumbled.

"Yes, and those dreams are your future and you know it. You just have to win her heart for that future to happen" 

"You bet. I'll make sure that each and every one of my dreams about us being together will come true. I'll change the flow of time and make sure that my first dream will never come true" he was determined to never lose her.

Star entertainment stands firmly as the biggest entertainment agency in the country for almost fifty years as they were one of the pioneers of the entertainment industry. 


Star entertainment was created by Cheng Moran a top artist back in his days. 
The Cheng's had long since been the corner Stone of the entertainment industry of the country since its beginning, star entertainment had signed and managed a lot of artist since it was established.Over the years Star entertainment has been very Selective with the artist they sign and managed, they signed only the best. 

Star entertainment was only an artist management company but eight years ago after Cheng Jianyu succeeded his grandfather as the CEO of Star entertainment, about six months in they produced their first TV series titled The Emperor's new Empress written by Ji Feng a notable script writer who had won many awards and had since signed an exclusive contract with Star Entertainment thanks to the his masterpiece the Emperor's new Empress which was directed by Zhang Zhi a world renowned Director.

It is considered a huge career achievement to be signed under star entertainment as Star entertainment represented the biggest stars and future top stars in the country.

Star entertainment grew careers from scratch, which was why most aspiring artists strived to get signed by Star entertainment but that road was as difficult as finding the fountain of youth as star entertainment only signed Four artists a year euch one from different fields in entertainment so basically they signed only one artist per Entertainment field from musicians to actors to dancers and idol groups and they didn't leave space for mistakes. 

Once signed under star entertainment the artist strengths and weakness are discovered and developed, A signed artist didn't debut until the three months training was concluded and even then they had to audition like the vast groups of artist even for Star entertainment productions. 

An in-house audition is held During the casting for a Star Entertainment production where the participants are screened and chosen based on their strength, dedication and skill, except for stars who received scripts personally which were more rare than panda blood.

Cheng Jianyu, the jade emperor of the entertainment industry as nicknamed due to his various archievememt in the entertainment industry. 

He was responsible for establishing the already outstanding Star entertainment into the giant of the entertainment with his good business knowledge and management skills. He was very talented in discovering rare talents.

In the Industry it was a populaly known that attacking a Star entertainment artist was like poking a sleeping dragon,as star entertainment had a show no mercy response to any attack whether knowingly or unknowingly so everyone in the industry knew to trend carefully with artists signed under Star entertainment.

Star entertainment did not suffer fools they did not tolerate any slip ups from their artists. When dropped by star entertainment no agency dared take that artist in, the same went for artist that attacked their artist unlawfully you were dropped never to be picked again except by star entertainment which was unheard of.

 An example of which was seen in the contract termination of the artist "V" after his repeated  Drug scandal and DUI. During the initial charge no evidence and the case dropped untill a video surfaced of his taking dringing and taking drugs in the private room the f a club with another female star Ji yi.

 Who insisted to have been drugged leading to further investigations. However after some the further investigation it was discovered that she was drugged by V and wasn't aware of her actions. But that didn't help her at all as her reputation was.already distroyed.

With his love and support she was Finally back on track to make her dream a reality and right the wrongs done to her after being betrayed by her childhood sweetheart and a pretentious friend.


..............................................................


**Exceprt**


"If they don't see your worth then that's their loss. My Meili is the best, you don't need them to tell you that and one day the world will see you for what you are. 

Your a rare germ, Your unique and no one can ever replace you. I don't care what the world says to me your a germ. 

I will always have your back no matter what. You remember that, No matter what I Jung jianguo loves you not even death can change that. You are mine" He said drawing her into his hands. 

They stayed that way for a while before leaving and heading back to their car

In retrospect, Hailey supposed it was a poor decision to mention to her roommate that she hadn't ever gone volunteering during her college career. Then again, her entire life was a series of poor decisions, so this wasn't exactly a change from the status quo.
"Girl," Rebecca said, horrified, "don't you want to be an animal person or zoologist or whatever it's called?"
Hailey did (better to deal with animals than humans, in her opinion), but… 'So?' she signed, raising her eyebrows and mouthing it.
They'd been roommates for all their three years of college, and Rebecca was still not great at ASL, but the nonverbal -so what- gesture was pretty universal.
"All those missed opportunities!" Rebecca practically shouted. "There's literally a farm right next to campus. You could drive there in five minutes. You do know how important volunteering is, right?"
Hailey did not, and she informed Rebecca as such. She was then treated to a several-minute-long spiel about the importance of gaining volunteering experience for resume-building and the "feel-good vibes," neither of which Hailey was particularly interested in. 'You know I don't like speak,' she pointed out.
Rebecca rolled her eyes. "No, Hailey, I thought you were just using ASL for the heck of it. I -know- you don't like talking, or, uh, social interaction in general. Half the people here think you're deaf."
This was probably because Hailey ignored them when they asked her if she was deaf.
She thought the answer was fairly obvious—she didn't wear hearing aids, didn't need accommodations in her classes—and not worth answering.
It was just… -maybe- it had spiraled a bit out of control in college, and maybe there was something morally gray in using a signed language when you were perfectly capable of talking, but Hailey didn't see why she had to talk when she preferred other methods of communication. She'd picked it up when she was little when her parents had bought her an ASL book (something they'd come to regret—Hailey suspected that poor decision making was genetic). Ever since, Hailey had favored using her hands and voiceless mouth.
It was also a great people deterrent; those who didn't know ASL (so, pretty much everyone) would stay away.
Hailey wasn't an antisocial people-hater (though Rebecca accused her of this every so often). She had a (short) list of people she'd be willing to befriend. She just didn't like talking, found most people grating on the nerves.
Rebecca let the subject drop, and Hailey thought that was the last she'd hear of it… until a week later when her roommate woke her up at seven on a Saturday morning with triumphant crowing.
"I hooked you up with the farm! Here, read this!" Rebecca shoved her laptop into Hailey's hands; Hailey blinked blearily at the bright screen.
[Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for your inquiry! We would be happy to have your roommate join our team. Our volunteers work in partners, but the Farm's tasks involve more manual labor than communication. Even so, we can definitely accommodate her needs. One of our senior volunteers, Blake Grayson, is fluent in ASL. He generally works Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. If this works with your roommate's schedule and she is interested, please invite her to contact us at…]
Hailey stared at Rebecca, then the email, then Rebecca again. She sat up in her bed.
'You did not,' she signed.
"Oh, yes I did!" Rebecca trilled. "Don't look at me like that, I didn't say anything false! Ahem: Dear Farm, I am writing for my roommate, who is very shy and hesitant to volunteer on account of the verbal communication involved… do you happen to offer ASL accommodations?"
Hailey glared at Rebecca.
"You're out of excuses." Rebecca grinned. "Go on, shoot them an email!"
'What if no,' Hailey signed, the firm single-motion kind of no.
"I will annoy you about it forever," Rebecca said easily.
Which was how Hailey found herself signing up to volunteer at the local farm—Farm with a capital F, as they called themselves. They'd emailed her a cheery welcome and a sign-up spreadsheet, telling her to put her name next to Blake Grayson's if there was a free space.
There was a free space on Friday. Blake had signed up for horse care.
She got to the Farm around in the early evening, a little early to her shift, dressed in jeans and her least favorite T-shirt. She wasn't the only one; as Hailey lingered to observe the place before heading in, she saw a few students trickling in and out every so often. A guy at the entrance gate greeted them with inaudible words, a lopsided grin, and a salute: palm facing forward, hand to his forehead, then out. 'Hello.'
Hailey headed to the gate and signed 'hello' back.
"Hailey?" He fingerspelled her name: Hailey, QM-wig.
'Yes,' signed Hailey, 'Blake?' and his grin grew brighter as he said and signed his own 'yes,' drawing Hailey's full attention to his face. He was exactly the type of college student who'd volunteer at a farm on a Friday night, she thought; country-boy, handsome (in his case, not just handsome; an adonis, a tanned-skin adonis), windswept hair, unbuttoned flannel.
"I've been waiting for you," Blake said cheerfully, signing as he did—he was fluent, Hailey noticed, surprised. "Welcome to the Farm! Super excited to have you, 'cause mucking out all by your lonesome is no fun. Horses are in the pasture. Want to get started early?"
'Sure,' signed Hailey, and she followed him to the empty stable. It smelled like leather, pine, hay—she didn't mind it, nor did she much mind the task ahead of them.
"Ever mucked a stall before?"
'No,' signed Hailey.
Blake explained how to muck out the stalls; simple enough, shovel dirty hay into a wheelbarrow and roll it out.
"You'd think mucking is a one-person job, but this is a huge stable, as far as stables go. You want the shovel or the barrows?" he said and signed.
'Barrow,' Hailey signed. She'd been paying attention to his fingers, but she couldn't not notice his voice—there was something soft and pleasant to it that put her at ease. This... might not be the last time she went to volunteer. (Rebecca would be insufferable. Rebecca was not on her mind at the moment.)
"Awesome. I'll take you out for the first round so you know where we dump the manure," Blake said-signed, to which Hailey's reptilian brain responded -yes, please do take me out- against her will. She paid it no attention.
Hailey wheeled the barrows faster than Blake filled them, which meant there was a fair bit of downtime where she hung around and watched him shovel. He whistled as he worked, and he tried to make one-handed conversation with her with fingerspelling and QM-wigs.
It was terribly sweet.
It made her feel terribly guilty.
"Major?" Blake asked and spelled at some point.
'Ecology,' Hailey signed. When he watched her spell, he gave her his full attention even as he shoveled, with such a genuine look of interest to his eyes…
"Oh, super cool," he said.
'You?' she asked.
"Music." He grinned at her bemusement; she didn't have to sign -why are you here- for him to guess what she was thinking. "Freshman year, I had an old guitar and no one who wanted to hear me play. Desperate for an audience, so, horses. Ended up sticking around."
They finished mucking out the barn, spread out the clean straw, and filled the feed and water troughs. It was hardly half an hour of work.
"Now we'll take the horses in and… actually, that's it," Blake said-signed. "You picked this up fast." He tilted his head at her. "Never seen a girl down to muck stalls on their first time at the Farm. Sure this is your first time?"
'Sure,' Hailey confirmed, biting back a laugh.
Once the horses were settled ("They like you," he told her), Blake walked Hailey to the gate. They dawdled around, looking at each other.
"Soo… will I be seeing you around?" He leaned against the gate, hands in his pockets.
'Maybe,' signed Hailey. ('Yes,' thought Hailey.)
From his pocket, Blake drew a scrap of paper and pencil, and before Hailey knew it, she had a pretty boy's number in her hands. "In case you want to coordinate," he explained. "We don't always have to volunteer for Monday night horse care."
And they didn't—Hailey ended up following Blake's Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule, although after about a week of exploring the other farm tasks, she found she still liked the horses best.
...And if that was because she liked the way Blake's bright smiles were brightest when he was around them, then, well... So be it, Hailey decided, after Rebecca noted that she was smiling every time she went on her phone in the mornings—that was, every time she was texting Blake. Their conversations had spiraled far beyond "coordinating" their volunteer hours.
'Can I ask how you picked up ASL?' she'd texted him at some point. 'There's no way you got so fluent through like a high school class.'
'on my own, mostly, over the years,' he responded. 'had a teacher who's fluent, i'd swing by his office after school sometimes.'
'Why?' Why would he put in that much effort when he could hear and talk and evidently had no problem with talking?
'thought it'd be important. then i met a girl named Hailey who proved me right :)'
Maybe that was when she really fell in love with him. That was also when she typed 'I have something to tell you,' backspace, 'There's something you need to know,' backspace, 'I'm sorry,' backspace…
It wasn't like she'd told him that she was deaf or even mute. Even Rebecca hadn't mentioned that in her stupid email that started all of this. All things considered, Hailey had not lied to Blake once.
But it sure felt like she was.
That wouldn't be the last time she tried to tell him—she ended up writing whole paragraphs, sometimes—but she never did manage to hit 'send'. Maybe he'd just float on out of her life after his college days were over, and he'd never need to know; she'd rather their friendship end there than with him angry at her for not-quite-lying.
Blake somehow managed to greet Hailey at the gate every time they volunteered together; out of sheer curiosity, Hailey started showing up earlier and earlier to her shift, wondering when exactly he got to the Farm. Finally, one day, she got there before him.
Or so she thought until she headed to the stable and found that he was already there. Not just there, but perched on a stool and strumming a guitar with his eyes closed, singing to the horses.
He heard her footsteps and opened his eyes, smiled that gentle lopsided smile of his, but only signed 'one moment, please' with one hand, strumming all the while. Hailey was happy to wait and listen.
...The song was making her fall in love with him all over again—oh, the irony of falling in love with a person for their song, a song they thought you couldn't hear! A soft melody, like starlight, sparkling dew, spider silk.
And lyrics about a girl?
"Would if I could be brave enough," Blake sang, meeting her eyes with that grin of his, "To tell her my heart's true… I'd have to say it with my hands. For now my voice will do… 'cause I'm a bit too chicken to sign Hailey, I love you."
Hailey's brain short-circuited—this was the only reasonable explanation for what she did next.
"But I love you too?" she said.
Blake nearly dropped his guitar.
Hailey came closer, hesitant—
"Out," Blake said, and he didn't sound angry or even short, just -out- the way he'd pleasantly shoo a pesky chicken, was that how he got when he was mad, all pleasant and still-smiling? She'd never seen him mad—his smile dropped—"Please. Give me a second to process the fact that you can talk. And hear me."
Hailey all but fled from the stable entrance. She leaned against the wall, heart in her throat—of all the times to tell him—she grabbed her phone and started typing.
'I'm sorry,' she sent. Marked as read a few moments later. He didn't tell her to stop, so she kept typing.
A whole paragraph, two, three, everything—that she could talk, she could hear, just didn't like to talk (and sometimes felt like the scum of the earth for using ASL when she didn't need to), and that technically she'd never said she couldn't do either of those, but—
'I know that's not an excuse,' she sent, followed by another 'sorry.'
She stared at the fluttering dot-dot-dot bubble on her phone for what felt like forever, then:
'ok'
'you can come inside'
"I mean, you were right," Blake said as she walked in. "Technically, you never pretended to be deaf. I'd probably be mad if you had. And—lying to me didn't even cross your mind."
Hailey blinked, surprised.
"Like, when you… you could've signed it instead and been, like, -you fool, I am really good at reading lips- but you didn't. You let me know. So… water under the bridge. A little more transparency, uh, earlier on, would've been nice, though."
'Sorry,' Hailey signed.
"If this is a jerk request, ignore it, but… speak to me?" Blake asked. (Of course, he was worrying about whether he was a jerk when Hailey clearly took the cake in that department.)
'For you,' she signed and spoke. "...Hi."
"Hey, Hailey, nice to meetcha." With light, nervous fingers, Blake strummed a few familiar chords on his guitar. "Was it true? What you said?"
"Yeah," she said—Hailey couldn't yet say the three words again, was pretty sure one impromptu 'I love you' was all she could manage today.
"Can't believe I accidentally confessed with some dumb lyrics I made up on the spot," Blake mumbled.
"On the spot? Seriously?"
"I mean…" he fidgeted. "I. Uh. I wrote the song about you. Possibly -for- you. I hadn't exactly written up the lyrics, but I had the grand idea that singing it in front of you might make me less chicken to sign it to you, and opportunity knocked..."
Okay, maybe Hailey could manage one more—"I love you," she said, and the sun came out on Blake's face.
'I love you,' he signed back.

Story 1 - Christmas Rollercoaster: 
Instead of dreaming about ambition and riches, Nate had dreamed about a family—a family that he was going to leave in tatters once ALS ran its course.

Story 2 - Shining Through His Broken Pieces:
After a difficult start, a young man tentatively begins to live in the light—rather than continue to hide in the shadows. But can he ever risk opening his heart, even for someone special?

Story 3 - Learning to Live:
Gregg Miller likes his life just the way it is, thank you very much. A steady job working at a law firm, a beautiful girlfriend, time to go out with his friends; he has everything a man could want. And yet… 
He begins to ponder where his life is going, just as it is forced in a new direction. With the sudden appearance of the son he hadn’t even known existed, Gregg is thrust into a new role that he never expected to play: a father. And though Gregg likes his routine, the predictability, and stability of it all, he begins to realize that life doesn’t always follow a defined path — and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Story 4 - ILY: 
For so long, everyone thought Hailey was deaf when, in reality, she just doesn't like talking and learned sign language at a young age. She never corrected anyone until someone confessed their love for her, thinking she couldn't hear them.

Story 5: Coming soon. Stay tuned!

Wei Jingyu pouted and looked away from Su Shaoyan, into the mirror in front of him.
Looking into it, his eyes met Ying Xuan's amused eyes. Xuan waved her hand and signed, 'You're looking good. I'm worried about my position as the campus belle.'
Wei Jingyu gave no reaction. Xuan wasn't even sure he had seen what she had signed.
His eyes were locked onto Ying Xuan's face.

Xuan, embarrassed by the intensity of Jingyu's gaze, looked away as Su Shaoyan led her to a seat and applied a face mask on her face too.
While Shaoyan buzzed around, Ying Xuan could feel Wei Jingyu's intense gaze upon her. She once turned her head towards him and was so embarrassed that she spent the next ten minutes avoiding his eyes.

"Oh all of you are here. Happy Birthday Jingyu." Lu Zuan's voice suddenly rung out as she entered the room.
She walked upto Wei Jingyu and handed him something. Jingyu took it and signed, 'Thanks. It's my birthday, but I feel like I'm giving a gift to Weiwei.'
Lu Zuan chuckled as she went to greet a very nervous Shi Weiwei and Su Shaoyan nodded in approval, "That's a great idea!!! You should just use sign language until you have the mask on."
Wei Jingyu chose to ignore his words as his gaze turned again to Ying Xuan.

After a few minutes, while the others were busy talking over something and more people were shuffling in the room for their make-up, Wei Jingyu quietly stood up from his chair.
He walked upto Ying Xuan, who was leaning back on her chair, eyes closed. Jingyu slipped into the seat beside her and tapped her shoulder.
Ying Xuan opened her eyes and looked at him.
'You're looking really beautiful today.' Wei Jingyu signed.
Ying Xuan blushed as she signed back, 'Don't you get tired of telling me that?'
Wei Jingyu immediately responded, 'No. If you let me, I'm willing to spend my whole life telling you that.'
Blood rushed to Xuan's cheeks and her heartbeat quickened as Jingyu continued, 'But what I meant was that you look exceptionally beautiful today. The colour yellow looks like it was made especially for you.'
Ying Xuan scratched her head in embarrassment and signed a thanks as Su Shaoyan walked over to the two, grabbing their attention.
"Okay. Both of you! I think it's time to remove your masks." he said and Xuan noticed that both she and Jingyu had been leaning towards each other as they straightened up.

Once Xuan had removed her mask, Su Shaoyan pulled her aside. "Hey Xuan, could you help me with something?" he asked.
'Sure.' Ying Xuan signed.
"The make-up is taking longer than I expected. Could you do some side characters while I focus on Jingyu?" Su Shaoyan said, biting his nails. He looked really worried.
Ying Xuan smiled and signed, 'Don't worry Shaoyan!! You do your thing. I'll take care of as many people as I can."
Su Shaoyan's face also broke into a smile. "Thanks Xuan!!! I'll definitely be sure to make you look like a real princess!! I love you!" He exclaimed and hugged Xuan.
Ying Xuan chuckled as Jingyu's irritated voice came from behind him, "That's enough hugging. And she looks like a princess anyway. Come on." Saying this, he grabbed Shaoyan's collar and dragged him away.

Ying Xuan begins to feel that the sun has finally begun to shine on her life when she goes to college, finds good friends and a great boyfriend.

Then boom......
Life happens.

Xuan finds herself as a mother to a child her sister gives birth to.
Having no one to hear her story, she decides to live life on her own terms, listening to no one. Except her little life, who is the best thing that ever happened to Xuan

Follow Ying Xuan as she balances her car along with child raising. 

Will she be able to do it?
Will she find her true love while she's at it?
Or will her whole life fall apart?

I opened my eyes groggily, feeling as if I had been hit on the head.

Literally.

My head pounded with pain and dizziness, I could barely breathe, I felt like I could puke at any moment.

And yet, the thought of it was also repulsing at the same time.

There was a taste that lingered in my tongue. An absolutely disgusting one.

I blinked a couple times, trying to get the blues o—

"Reina?!" 

Someone suddenly called my name, right into my ear.

I looked up, and saw a dark, looming figure standing over me.

I was startled, and immediately threw my hands into the air instinctively to protect myself.

SMACK!!

"Gah!" 

A flat surface knocked against the back of my hand when I threw it up.

It felt cold, and sweaty. And recoiled away from my touch.

My thought process went like this:

...

Ew! What did I just touch?!

Uhh... do flat surfaces move away?

Why does it feel cold and sweaty...

Oh God, I just slapped someon—

...

When I realized who I slapped.

Oliver groaned in pain as he rubbed his red cheeks. He said with a smile, "Wow... didn't know I was that ugly... sorry about that."

I immediately turned in shock and raised my hands, signing, 'No! It was my fault! I'm sorr-'

"Heheh." He laughed. "Nah... no need to be sorry. I shouldn't have stood over you while you were waking up.

My hands trembled as I signed. I couldn't believe I slapped Oliver, 'No... I should be sorry... I don't do anything r—'

"No, stop it." He gently pushed my fingers away, making my heart skip a beat. "Just be a little more careful next time."

We stared at each other in awkward silence for a bit.

Before Oliver looked like he realized something.

"Oh right, umm..." He rubbed his neck embarrassingly, "What... happened?"

I sucked in a breath of air in surprise.

Why was I here?

I only had small flashes of what happened. Like... black figures... and a bathroom.

Wait a second.

'Did you take me out from the bathroom?' I signed.

At this, he started looking a little panicked, "I-I wasn't... I-It wasnt..."

Back to awkwardness.

I took this chance to look at the place we were in.

We were in a brightly lit up room, and I was resting on a pretty stiff bed. Oliver sat beside me on a wooden stool that looked just as uncomfortable as my bed, but he didn't seem to mind. Behind him, a curtain was pulled around us, giving us some privacy. 

I know this place very well. We were in the sickbay at our school. I often faked being sick to come here and avoid the nasty Brenda and Luci.

Thinking of those two, I—

I suddenly remembered why I was there.

My heart started racing as the memories came back to me.

'You think you're so great because you have him on you side?'

'He's obsessed with me...'

'CLEAN UP YOUR MESS!!'

'If she even dares, then we're just have to punish her again!'

The sound of laughter filled my ears.

I began hyperventilating.

"I swear I wasn't—" Oliver noticed my pale face, "Hey... are you alright?!"

He put a knee on my bed and grabbed my shoulders, trying to calm me do—

"Reina!!" A loud, high-pitched shriek filled the sickbay. 

We both jumped in shock as the curtains were suddenly pulled back, revealing a white-faced, anxious Nelly.

"Reina! Are you al—" She froze and skidded to a stop in red and white stripped shoes.

She saw me sitting upright in a hospital-style bed, sweaty and pale-faced. Then she saw a suspicious-looking boy putting his hands on my shoulders, with cheeks red (because I slapped him accidentally, but Nelly didn't know that) and was towering over me in a dominant position.

Most people can imagine what would happen next

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY POOR REINA!!!??!"

                                    --

"So he's actually a friend? And not trying to do any horrible things to you?" Nelly asked as she interpreted my hand signs.

I nodded my head, glad that we came to an understanding.

"Oh. Okay." She nodded.

But Oliver wasn't glad at all. He rubbed his cheeks in pain and surprise again. "With all due respect Mrs. Ashton, but did you really have to slap me so hard!?"

"What was I supposed to do? I thought my poor girl was getting hurt!" She shook her head in annoyance. Then raised her hands and signed towards me, 'This boy is such a jerk.'

I cringed and signed, 'Nelly?'

"Umm, Mrs. Ashton..." Oliver said as he raised his hands and switched to signing as well, 'I know sign language too...'

"Oh." Nelly blinked, then signed again, 'Do you know the term for 'Rubber Duckies'? If so, do you like them?'

Oliver and I shuddered in unison at Nelly's 'test'.

He answered, 'Yes... I do know the term for 'Rubber Duckies', and I was never really fond of them, even when I was little.'

Nelly blew out a puff of air in dissatisfaction, "How can you not like 'Rubber Duckies'? They're cute!"

Initiate the cringe.

I averted my eyes as I signed, 'Nelly? Can you please just stop now? And apologize to Oliver?'

Nelly grunted and averted her eyes as well, "Alright, Fine then." She sighed and extended her hand at Oliver, "I'm sorry for slapping you earlier."

Oliver shook her hand awkwardly, "That was... a little harder than it should have been..."

The moment they let go, Nelly immediately went back to glaring at Oliver, "But if I catch you doing nasty things to my Reina, I will NOT let you go, young man!"

I wanted to facepalm myself.

Oliver raised his hands in surrender, "Okay. Okay. I... won't. I promise!"

Nelly grunted again, not looking totally satisfied, but at least better than earlier.

When suddenly—

"Umm... Mrs. Ashton?" The sickbay nurse poked her head through the door, "I'm sorry, but if you're taking Reina home, can you do it as soon as possible? You're disturbing the classes outside."

Nelly rolled her eyes, "Alright, alright. We're leaving soon, let's go Reina."

'Wait...' I signed with a bit of hesitation, 'Can I just be alone with Oliver for a minute, it won't take long...'

Nelly looked shocked. Oliver too. 

'What? Why?' She signed.

'Just... for a moment.'

She sighed, 'Fine... I'll give you and your a friend a minute. Any longer and I'll come charging back in with a rage.'

'Okay...' 

The nurse looked confused as we rapidly waved our fingers around towards each other. But was quickly chased out by an annoyed Nelly.

Oliver averted his eyes from me, "Umm... I have to get back to class, I'm only excused under witness and care obligations..."

I could meet his eyes either, 'About the bathroom thing earlier... I slipped and—'

"You were being bullied, weren't you?" His tone suddenly became gravely serious. 

I signed furiously in anxiousness, 'Why would yo—'

"Reina!" He called my name, instantly freezing me. Then he switched to sign language, 'Please don't lie to me.'

I looked away in guilt. 'How did you know?'

'It was how I found you...' He signed, 'I was walking to class when I heard some... noises going on inside. A few moments later, these two girls, notorious for bullying you, come out laughing. Then I found you inside, lying on the ground. How could I not suspect anything?'

I could feel my face flush. 'If I was unconscious... then why didn't you call an ambulance.'

'You weren't unconscious.'

I looked up in surprise.

'You were half-awake, as best as I could put it.' He signed, 'And you signed to me yourself... 'Don't call hospital. Call... mom?' It was what you signed.'

I blinked.

Guess that habit stuck to me all those years.

                                     --

"What do you do when someone sees you like this?" My mom smiled and brushed my hair gently.

'Don't...' It was hard to sign with a fractured hand. Tears rolled down my cheeks. 'D...don't call the hospital. Call... mom.'

"That's right." She grinned.

She grabbed my hand and smashed it onto the table again. 

I open my mouth and exhale sharply in pain.

                                      --

I shook my head to return my thoughts back to the real world. 

I had to move past those times now.

I raised my hands again, 'So... you called Nelly instead?'

'I didn't know her number, so I just asked the nurse to call her...'

I looked down for a while, deep in thought. Then signed, 'Thank you, Oliver.'

He watched me silently as I pulled the blanket away from me and got out of bed. 

'I guess I should go now...' Not really wanting to go.

I walked towards the sickbay door and was ready to follow Nelly, when...

"Wait, Reina." Oliver called.

I paused, and look back. 'What?'

"I've decided." He simply said, standing up as well. "Come to my house this Saturday."

Reina Ashton has been mute ever since she was born. After spending more than fifteen years under an abusive father and neglectful mother, she has finally been taken away by the proper authorities, and adopted by a caring and loving old couple, who used to also have a muted daughter years ago.

But unfortunately, she is still scarred by the horrors of her past, and only communicates when she needs to. With an antisocial personality in addition to her muteness, she isn’t the most popular girl in school, and is bullied constantly.

Her only saving grace is a handsome senior who’s been nice to her since she transferred. But she knows that he can’t be there for her forever, and needs to learn how to fend for herself...

*Xin Lei*
Bai Li, Liao Huifang, and I departed from LangFang towards our next destination, Tianjin, where the mysterious gang and some other party were going to strike a deal.
We had still no idea what kind of a deal it would be. We fairly presumed it to be an exchange of some sort, but of what?
No clue.
The deal was going to take place tomorrow evening. We still had almost twenty-four hours until we could figure things out.
I thought about Chu Jie and Cocoa. It had been more than a day, but it already felt so long that Cocoa wasn't by our side. I missed him so much.
I only prayed that they were safe.
We were having a quick meal right now in a small restaurant.
My phone buzzed, and I saw the number. I paused.
I typed. "I will come in just a moment."
Bai Li asked, "Okay."
I walked near the ladies' room and picked the video call.
"Hello?"
I heard the familiar voice after so long. I saw the familiar face once again. To be precise, after ten years. It was my good friend, the best psychologist and my ex-boyfriend, Kang Yuan.
Ten years ago, we were just high-school students. At that time, he had that boyish charm in him. But now, as time passed, I could see the obvious changes in him. His voice was low and deep. There was a light stubble on his face adding onto his manly persona.
The teenage boy was now a twenty-seven-year-old adult. In the past, he was thin or maybe just average in build, but now he looked well-shaped overall.
"Xin Lei." Yuan softly spoke.
I smiled and greeted him using sign language. "Yuan. It's been so long."
"En. Ten years."
I moved my hands again. "Yes. Ten years. You have changed a lot. You have gained weight."
He chuckled from the other side. "These are called muscles. I am not fat. I have a toned body now."
I rolled my eyes.
I always liked to tease him about his weight during the high-school days, and his expression would always turn sour.
"And I can't even compare to your weight."
I glared at him. I signed. "Are you calling me fat!?"
"I never said anything like that."
I gritted my teeth.
I felt Yuan's gaze soften. "How are you doing these days?"
I rubbed my forehead. I signed. "Don't even ask…It's a long story."
Yuan sighed. "Always getting into trouble."
My eyebrow twitched.
"Alright. Tell me all about it when we meet to catch up. Didn't you say you need my help?"
I nodded. I signed. "I want you to take someone under you for treatment. He has PTSD. He had undergone therapy in the past, but he left it halfway, and now he has decided that he wants to cure it once and for all."
Yuan smiled. "Of course. We are friends. I wouldn't decline your request. But...you have to give me a sumptuous treat for our reunion. Bill will be on you."
I dryly looked at him. I signed. "I am your friend. How could you charge me?"
"Hah! This is my revenge for those days when you emptied all my pocket money either for food or for buying the demo medical kits to play doctor-doctor. Thanks to you, I could never save up enough money to buy my favorite game console!"
I signed. "It has been ten years! So petty!"
He shrugged. "Whatever. The treat is on you."
I harrumphed and signed. "Alright!"
Yuan laughed. "Oh yes, who is that person?"
I paused.
Should I say that Bai Li is my boyfriend? We aren't officially going out. We had only made our feelings and attraction clear to each other.
"What are you thinking for so long? Have your brain cells rotted in these ten years? Aren't you the smart Xin Lei anymore?" He grinned teasingly.
I snapped out and furiously glared at him.
I thought about it. I signed. "We are seeing each other, but we aren't exactly in a dating relationship. He is kind of my boyfriend yet not at the same time."
Then there was silence.
I thought the call froze and turned my phone upside down.
I waved my hand.
"...Oh. I see."
I felt his voice was a bit...dim? It was just momentary, but it seemed as if he was a little uncomfortable.
This was the reason why I hesitated. It had been ten years since our breakup, but I wondered if it would seem too awkward to talk about Bai Li to my ex-boyfriend.
But, at the same time, I didn't want to hide it either and cause unnecessary misunderstanding.
I signed. "Are you okay?"
Yuan cleared his throat. "Oh, yes, yes. I-I was just surprised a bit. Like I said, I will surely help him out. Where are you now?"
I signed. "Tianjin."
Yuan asked, "Why Tianjin? Work?"
I sighed. I signed. "No. It's part of that same long story."
Yuan nodded. "Okay. I will directly book my flight ticket for Tianjin."
I signed. "Eh? Where are you now?"
"Oh, I am in India for a psychology conference. I was invited to give a lecture here. I will be there in about five hours."
"Okay."
"Where do we meet?"
I thought about it. I signed. "I will text you the hotel details where we are staying for the night."
"Okay…"
I smiled.
He said nothing, but I felt him hesitate as if he still wanted to say something. I saw him furrowing his brows just a bit.
I signed. "Do you want to say something?"
"Yes…" He opened his mouth but quickly shut it again. "No, nothing."
I squinted my eyes at him.
Yuan sheepishly smiled. "Really. It's nothing. Okay, I will hang up now. I will see you in five hours."
Before I could say anything else, he hung up.
"..."
Strange.
I went back, and Liao Huifang immediately fired me with questions. "Where were you? What took you so long? We were waiting for you. I am so hungry, but Bai Li forbade me to eat without you!"
I chuckled.
Bai Li snorted. "Learn to have some patience and control, young lady."
"Shut up, you oldie."
I choked.
Bai Li's expression turned sour and ugly. "I am only thirty-two. That's not old."
Liao Huifang sneered. "Can you compare to being twenty-two?"
His mouth twitched.
"Plus, you shouldn't ask a lady, especially a young and beautiful lady like me to wait to eat. It's bad manners."
"Who made that rule?"
"It's a universal law for all women."
Bai Li looked at my direction. "Is that so, Xin Lei? She is just making it up, right?"
Liao Huifang nudged at me too to take her side. Both were waiting for my decision.
I rolled my eyes. Really, sometimes they argued like children.
I typed. "We will settle this later, but I want to say something."
Bai Li raised his brow.
I typed. "I told you about my psychologist friend, right? He is coming to Tianjin in five hours. We will meet him at the hotel we are staying. It was his call."
I observed Bai Li, and he seemed a bit uncomfortable with the way he restlessly shifted in his seat.
Even if he decided to cure himself of PTSD, I knew that it would still be hard for him. A large part of counseling was to face your past and fears, which wasn't an easy thing to do even if one made up his mind.
I put my hand on top of his.
Bai Li faintly smiled. "I am fine. This day was going to come sooner or later. This time, I won't run away."
---
We were already at the hotel. Almost five and a hours later, Yuan texted me.
"Hey. I have reached the address you sent me."
I replied. "Okay. Wait for a minute."
I went down and saw Yuan's tall figure leaning on the reception desk, lazily swiping on his phone.
I looked at him in surprise.
He has changed a lot.
I waved my hand. He looked at me and smiled widely. "Xin Lei!"
We hugged for a moment.
Yuan said, "Sorry it took long. The flight was delayed a bit."
I shook my head. I typed. "It's alright. Let's go up. They are waiting for us."
"...Hm."
I took him inside Liao Huifang and my room where Bai Li was also present.
I typed. "He is Kang Yuan. My high school friend. He is one of the best psychologists."
Liao Huifang smiled and bowed.
I looked at Kang Yuan and typed. "She is Liao Huifang. She is our friend and kind of a comrade now. Part of the long story."
He nodded.
Now, it was Bai Li's turn. Somehow, I felt a bit nervous about introducing them.
I typed. "He is Bai Li, whom I told you about previously."
Bai Li roughly glanced at his way while Yuan was also staring at him, but neither of them said anything.
I coughed.
What is this weird pressure I am feeling?


[COMPLETED] It's a race against time.

But the challenge gets even harder as there is a certain difficulty that they both have to overcome.

With Bai Li facing his own inner demons, will their quest for truth spiral out of control? Will he get his honour back?

Who is the enemy hiding in the shadows that Xin Lei and Bai Li would have to fight?

Along this journey to find their answers, will it also spark the flames of love between them?

***

Amidst the booming crack of ear-piercing gunshots, Xin Lei bumped into the ex-army officer, Major Bai Li, who recently got a dishonorable discharge. He was the only hope for her who could help her in digging the truth behind not only that syndicate chasing after her life but also to find about her father and brother who have mysteriously disappeared.

Together, they set out to search for the truth, but it shapes into something much darker and sinister as they learn about the case Xin Lei's father was working on - to prove a father innocent of his little daughter's disappearance, plunging them into one of the dangerous worlds, hidden from everybody.

--- Scene Excerpt ---

My foot was stuck in the pit and I pushed Bai Li away from me who was trying to get me out. There was no time. The sounds of sirens were growing closer and closer. How can I let the police catch him?

But my strength wasn't enough. I tugged his shirt. I begged him. 'Please go.'

Bai Li grabbed my arms. "Don't push me away, Xin Lei. Soldiers never leave anyone behind. It's either we are caught together or we escape together."

Before I knew it, his lips were on mine.

"Whatever it is, sticking together is the only option I give you."

        It took an hour to calm her down enough to leave. By then, Eri had fallen asleep again. Koyama stood, taking the application with her. She filled it out, one handed since Eri was in her right. After she finished the application, she dropped both the application and the blonde bitch off at Nezu's office. 'Hey, can we move my exam to today? I'll go against whoever or whatever you choose to put me up against . I would much appreciate it.' Koyama signed sloppily, with a hopeful look on her face. Nezu nodded and informed the teachers.
        "Sure, you have an hour to prepare." Nezu told her and she bowed her head since there was a child in her arms before turning to leave. She then followed the sound of crying and Aizawa's voice comforting his so-called "Problem child." She walked in and smiled gently.
        'Hey, I just wanted to check in on you guys. How are you doing?' Koyama signed and Problem child introduced himself while tears were still streaming down his cheeks. 'My apologies. It's a pleasure to meet you Midoriya. My name is Koyama Masumi. How are you doing?' Koyama signed sloppily and Midoriya responded in sign.
        'You too. I'm-I'm about as well as can be with my situation. What about the girl in your arms? Is she ok? I saw her but couldn't do anything about it…. I just feel bad for her.' He signed and Koyama nodded.
        'Don't. It wasn't your fault. I think she'll be alright. If push comes to shove, I have a guy who can take the memories away until she's a little older. I am taking an upgraded version of the Entrance Exams today. Why don't you guys come watch me?' Koyama signed and smiled though it was visibly strained. The other two nodded and gave her a reassuring smile.
        "Of course we'll come. I look forward to seeing you in class Koyama." Aizawa said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
        'Yeah! We wouldn't miss it for the world especially after you and the girl in your arms saved me!' Midoriya signed and Koyama smiled.
        'Thank you guys. Now, we have an hour to waste. What should we do?' Koyama signed and the other two shrugged. 'Alright, well tell me about your class? What are they like?' Koyama signed and Midoriya started to tell her about all the good things about each classmate and about how they all had amazing potential. Aizawa went after, telling her about all their flaws and giving her just as much negativity as Midoriya gave her positive but both of them recognized the potential in the group. By the time they finished, there was only five minutes left to prepare.
        "Alright, if you'll let me, I'll take Eri so you can prepare and take the test. I promise to take care of her. You have nothing to worry about for the next hour and a half." Aizawa said and walked over to take Eri. Koyama hesitated but handed her off with a sigh and a very overprotective mom look. "Don't worry, she will either be next to me or in my arms when you are done ok?" Koyama sighed again and nodded before heading out to stretch all her other stages. She found a gym type structure and nodded to herself before walking in and stretching to the fullest as she was now. Nezu came in after a minute with a three minute warning. She nodded and shifted to her wolf form and continued to stretch. Half a minute later, she shifted back to her human stage and before going to her anthro stage and began stretching, taking more time in this one than the others since she was in her powerhouse form. Once she was done, she went to Ground Beta where Nezu and the U.A staff were waiting.
        'Well, this is going to be fun.' She cracked her knuckles and neck before smiling ever so slightly. "Ok, I'll be watching with the rest of the teachers outside the city and you-" Eraserhead began but stopped when Nezu spit out the tea he was drinking, shocked, because she demolished all the robots while leaving the city completely unharmed and intact. 
        "We can not afford to let her become a villain." Nezu said before explaining what she did. The other teachers were shocked as well and agreed. "In other words, welcome to your academia." Nezu told Koyama and his tone matched his words. "Aizawa will be your hero training teacher and for the rest of your classes, you'll be sharing one with each of the Big 3, mainly sticking you with Tamaki Amajiki. The Big 3 will also become the Big 4. Is this alright with you?" Nezu explained and Koyama nodded.
        'Yeah, so long as I don't have to deal with All Might I'll be pretty complacent until set off or a pack member is threatened, which only consists of Eri, Eraserhead, and Midoriya at the moment.' Koyama signed with a smile as Aizawa translated.
        "May I ask why you despise All Might, the number one hero, so much?" Nezu asked and the other teachers keyed in on this, curious about this as well. Koyama sighed and pulled her phone out before showing them the video of her encounter with All Might and the sludge villain. When it was done, she explained what happened, beyond the translations of her sign language in the video. The teachers were furious and Nezu wasn't happy about this either. "Well then.... I will try to keep the two of you separated. He will be giving out the medals at the award ceremony for the sports festival which you need to attend in order to participate in the internships. That will be the only time I ask you to play nice alright?" Nezu explained and Koyama nodded but clearly wasn't happy about it.
        "Anyways, let's get you your schedule, uniform and get you home so you can put her to bed. She has had a long day." Aizawa said before gently transferring the sleeping girl to Koyama without interrupting her sleep which Koyama appreciated. Koyama smiled and nodded. "You'll start on Thursday." Aizawa led her off and handed her a couple uniform, all the right size, and went to print her schedule since she was already in the system. 
        'Thank you Aizawa-sensei.' Koyama signed sloppily and gave him a grateful smile.
        "Anytime kid. You just need to learn how to rescue with your disadvantage right?" He asked and Koyama nodded. "Alright, makes my job a whole lot easier." Koyama chuckled and took her schedule which was being offered to her by Aizawa. "Now, do you need a ride home?" Aizawa asked and Koyama shook her head.
        'No thank you. I'll be alright.'  Koyama signed and gave another grateful smile. She could tell that the year would be interesting if not easier than before. 
        "Alright, stay safe. I look forward to seeing you in class. Also, don't worry about being in trouble for bringing Eri the first few days, there won't be a penalty for it. I'll help you register her in school whenever you are ready." He said and bowed while Koyama returned it the best she could with a sleeping child in her arms before waving goodbye. "Goodbye Koyama." With that, Koyama teleported home, Eri, uniforms and schedule in hand. 
        'Ah, home sweet home.' Koyama thought as she put Eri to bed. After tucking her in, Koyama went to get herself ready for bed herself. It took her five minutes before she was back in her room and ready for bed. She checked the time to see it was 8:15 pm. 'Well, I have an hour and 45 minutes left to waste. Let's see what I can do.' That's exactly what she did. She spent 30 minutes on her phone, 15 getting everything packed and ready for tomorrow, 15 memorizing her schedule, and the rest of the time struggling to sleep before crashing at 10:05pm.
        Surprisingly, Koyama never had her usual nightmares that night, so she woke up energized and refreshed, surprising herself. It was a few hours later than she normally woke up so she took her time to wake up, sitting up, yawning, and stretching. She saw Eri still peacefully sleeping which made Koyama smile.  'Well, let's plan a fun day for her. She deserves it.' With that, she carefully got up and began to get ready for the day, showering, getting dressed in dark blue jeans, black ¾ sleeve shirt, black flats, a ring with a pentagram under a clear crystal that Alden gave her, and a bracelet that was braided black twine with a triquetra as the main piece that Hadi gave her. She also got everything ready so she could walk out when she was ready. 
        When she only had two things to do, she checked the time. 'First, we go shopping for her and get clothes, toys, and whatever else she wants. Then let her guide the day. I'll ask her what she wants for breakfast. Today is all about her.' Koyama thought happily as she went to go to the living room to wait for Eri to wake up but made Eri another dress of one of her old shirts and felt bad for not being able to give her socks and shoes.
        It only took an hour for her to wake up and when she did, Koyama was there to let her know she was loved, wanted and perfect, after which, Koyama told her the plan for today. "Okay mommy! What's for breakfast?" Eri asked sweetly but was still waking herself up.
        'What do you want?' Koyama signed and smiled as Eri got excited as she began to bounce on the bed a little.
        "Can we have….ummm, surprise me?" Eri asked hesitantly and Koyama chuckled and ruffled her hair.
        'Of course. After breakfast, what do you say about going shopping? Everything you need.' Koyama signed and smiled as she watched Eri's excitement grow.
        "Yay! Thank you mommy!" Eri chimed happily and Koyama nodded before walking to the kitchen and beginning to make a breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon. She, in her own way called Eri to the dining room as she finished setting the table. Eri was so happy and excited that Koyama could sense it. "Thank you for the food!" Eri chimed and went to sit down.

As Chan runs away from the other direction, Master Youw drags Yang away from the new batch of group that are trying to chase them.
Gasp* Gasp*
"Common kid we have to go, we can't defeat all of them" says Master Youw as he drags Yang back to Aang the Air Bison.
"What about Master Chan? Is he gonna be ok?" says Yang.
"You know kid of all the people you don't mess with it's the drunk people because they are the craziest people you can start a fight and that Chan is crazy as Shi**" says Master Youw as they continues to run away.
But as the two continues to run away they saw the enemies being able to catch up on them. As they continue to run away Yang notices the large duffle bag that Master Youw was carrying and uttered the words "Master why are carrying that huge thing, it's slowing us down"
"Not now kid, gasp* this bag is my life, it's full of my awesome gasp* things, I can't just leave it and gave it away." says Master Youw as he gasp for air.
"Well you are gonna lose it anyway if we get caught suit yourself." says Yang
"Alright alright alright I'll take off some of the heavy load, let me see" says Master Youw as he takes a look inside his large bag.
"Alright this Cello doesn't cost much and it's too damn big, I'll leave this." says Youw as he pulls in off his bag and throws it towards the group that chases them.
Eek*
Ugh*
Though Master Youw took out the Cello the bag he's still carrying is heavy the looks of it.
"Master why don't you let the whole thing, or keep the ones more worth it." says Yang
"You know what kid if you don't stop complaining, I'll sell you out to those guys chasing us because these things are more worthy to me than you! " says Master Youw in disdain & contempt.
After saying those words Master Youw noticed that Yang looked embarrassed & disappointed.
Master Youw: "Im sorry Kid, here I'll let you carry it just so you could feel how special it is.."
But as soon as Master Youw gave the bag to Yang a truck full of guys in battle gears come running down on them.

"What is that?" says Yang in confusion
"Kid it's the guitar with 4 strings we need something solid out here stop guys from chasing us." says Master Youw as Yang throws him the Bass guitar.

"Uhmmmm O...K? Yang responses.

*Pressure pushing down on me ..... ...Pressing down on you no man ask for* says Master Youw
As he continues to sing the group of men that tried to pursue them begins to be pushed back by a powerful gust of wind, even at full force the truck was not able to move from its location, as it's being stopped by the strong pressure of the air.
But as Master Youw continues to have solo music concert, a young girl with a silver hair & a covered mouth armed with full black gear with a red scarf comes crashing down on them, she took the weak spot of the whirlwind which was the middle part get inside and attack both Yang & Master Youw.
Master Youw was startled by the intruder that he uses a powerful wind blast from his bass guitar to attack but it was shrug off by the girl as she twirls the air attack back to Master Youw but was deflected by another air attack due to Master Youw's quick thinking.
2 of men all covered in black & wearing goggles & covered mouth emerges from behind and took grab of Master Youw and breaks his bass guitar.

Yang tried to run as he threw the large bag given to him, against the 3 covert enemies, he does a follow up of earth sink to the group to trap them.
But the group was able to slip past the attempt of Yang to capture them, they used air bending force to push them out of the trap, and tries to capture Yang.
Yang made an earth wall to deflect the attempt but they manages to jumped high and tackled him and made another attack using the quicksand as they all slowly gets swallowed by the ground. They countered the attack again using Air spout to push them off the ground. And one of the was able to using a grappling hook to capture Yang's leg and pulls him towards them. When one of them tried to stab him in the heart the girl intervene losing her right eye in the process.
