Chapter 2; Please forgive me...

"Hahaha... Hahaha..." It was just the same as in her previous life. She picked up the books and a torn school bag before strolling out of the classroom into the corridor. In the entire school vicinity, she was the only one left behind, she couldn't see any figure or image anywhere close by.

It was dark everywhere and probably late into the night; she knew her birth parents wouldn't look for her, and what about her Uncle? She had insulted him endlessly and she was too ashamed to face him at this moment.

She looked too terrible to show up in front of him; she didn't dare show him her mess; he only needed to see the good side of her.

Her eyes didn't stop tearing; she had stepped onto the pavement when the rains immediately hit the ground, pouring down on her as if she offended it.

The wind was blowing sending chills down her spine.

It was raining heavy thunderstorms combined with hailstones, why would it rain this time as it hadn't rained in her previous life? She didn't mind it raining as it was a blessing but why when she had just stepped out of the building? Couldn't it wait until she was back home? Or maybe it was assisting her in crying.

She strode into the streets aimlessly, looking lost; she could see the street lamps that lit the entire street and a few people moving in hurried footsteps across the streets, minding their own business; luckily, tomorrow was a weekend and she didn't need to worry.

She slowly walked step by step forward with determination holding those torn books in his arms as they soaked all together. She didn't feel those hailstones that were hitting her; it felt like everything was accompanying her in this new beginning and another chance to live all over again.

"We could say, today, we are cleansing our sins and starting life afresh! A new beginning for us!" She mumbled, comforting herself, and wildly smiled, grinning from ear to ear. A new life, a new beginning, but she didn't know how to approach her Uncle. That's the only person she needed this second chance for.

She needed to spoil him endlessly with love and everything! Her affection, emotions, feelings, time, and everything of hers belonged to him solely.

"I will come find you! I promise!" She hoarsely muttered, thinking that in her previous life, her Uncle had gone abroad by that day and she would go after him when she moved abroad as that was the only way.

And the only way she had to move abroad was by getting a scholarship; she knew her parents wouldn't support her no matter how perfect her scores were, but with a scholarship, everything was possible.

"Yes! I will do it!" She was very positive. She held those books in her arms tightly. She would work harder and achieve that perfect score and gain a scholarship.

"Third Master Mu..."

"I think I have seen Missus...."

"She is there walking along the streets!" Mu Yunchen, who was being driven over to the Zhou family, suddenly sighted that lonely figure walking through the streets under that harsh rain.

"Slow down and trail behind her..." He coldly spoke up as wrinkles formed around his face disgruntled.

"Yes, Third Master Mu..." The driver, who had always been his bodyguard, slowed down the car and carefully trailed behind her in a safe and inconspicuous distance.

"What time is it? What is she doing out here under the rain?" He roughly wiggled his watch to align it across his wrist to see what time it was and was surprised to see it was almost 10 into the night. He was going over to the Zhou family to say goodbye as he was planning to stay abroad for a few years.

He had solved most of the business problems, left the company under one of his men for management, and sold everything else; his flight was scheduled at midnight, which was an hour away, and he was already late. His choppers had already moved overseas.

"What could have happened to her? Did she go crazy?" He inwardly wondered while watching her little actions here and there even though it didn't seem like she was sad or frustrated in any way.

After he had a fallout with Zhou Yuxi, he felt it was advisable to stay away from her life since he felt like he was making things difficult for her. He also wished for her to integrate into that family and hoped they would treat her well, but what was she doing here under this harsh rain?

"Follow her..." He was slightly conflicted with either getting down and dragging her into the car, but at the same time, he wanted to protect her from a distance; he was conflicted and wished Zhou Yuxi would see him as a person she could depend on and trust.

/The past is fading,

/Please forgive my ignorance and youthfulness

/It was a mistake I don't know how to honor up to, but please forgive me

/But in your eyes, I wanna see a brand-new start,

/Give me a chance and we will start over, let's leave the past behind us,

/You are my solace, the only one I know...

/In this city, where love is so hard to find, I have you... you're my light in the darkest night,

/With you, everything feels so right.

A brand-new chapter, a page so clean,

With you, I'm living my sweetest dream.

/Please forgive me...

/I know am not worth but give me a chance to repent...
