Flower Withered

Loving you is my mistake.

Fortunately Yu Wen was gone. I am not startled if a man like Cheng Sheng Lin know my presence. I thought he was knew from the start someone was eavesdropping them. I lost my hair and tie again like a girl but failed so I decided to stand up from my place. I hold hairpin from Huang family while compose myself and deal with the pain. I have to endure this pain a little bit more… just a little bit…

But this pain almost killed me from inside. I cannot see clearly when I open my eyes I realized my body ran against his body.

"Young Master, I am sorry." I said hurriedly before Mei Hua slashed my neck.

"Who are you?"

Jia Ming Yue looks wondering about me. Perhaps she never met me as Jing Er before.

I try my best to take a bow to Cheng Sheng Lin and act like usual while dealing with this pain.

"I am sorry if I am disturbing Young master. I really don't know if Young master....em... Young Master please don't be angry because I just want to enjoy the scenery and Miss, I really sorry to offend you with my presence."

"Aow....Miss Jing Er, we meet again."

"Yes, Young Master. I am sorry for …"

"It's alright, If Miss Jing Er wants to enjoy this scenery then can you accompany me tonight?" He said while giving me his charm smile.

"What?!" Jia Ming Yue looks so unpleasant with this situation but I still don't know why she is sulking?

"Or do you want me to accompany you, Miss?" He asked me the same meaning questions.

"No need. Young Master don't worry, I-"

"No. It's alright."

"No-No."

"Miss Jia, you must come back to your home." He said.

I am speechless. How come he treats Jia Ming Yue like that? Jia Ming Yue not only became angrier and sulked but…

"Yes, Young Master." Ming Yue responded.

What?! Jia Ming Yue is not sulking indeed but from her eyes I know she wants to kill me. But why? I am the one who wants to talk to her. I am the one who has the right to kill her!

Jia Ming Yue just left me with this man and his bodyguard. I just take a deep breath when Chen Sheng Lin makes me lose the chance to meet Jia Ming Yue. I have to know where her place is. I think I have to catch her before she disappears.

"Young Master, I am sorry. I have to go now. I will accompany you next time, alright?!"

I just want to run but suddenly I feel something makes my body bump to Cheng Sheng Lin's body again. This time my body will fall if he doesn't catch me. To be honest, this position makes me remember about all the girls that I ever had slept with but this time, I am in the girl position and why with this position, I feel Chen Sheng Lin looks so bright between the lanterns rays?

"Miss, this time is too late for a girl wandering alone." He whispered and made me blushed. How come he mentioned me as a girl?!

"Uhm…Young Master…"

I feel so awkward right now due to my hair just lost without any hair ornament. I am standing up hurriedly and still insist to catch Ming Yue but she was disappeared already.

"Miss Jing Er…why is your face looking so pale?" He asked.

"Don't worry, I am alright."

"Then why are you not accompanying me?"

Why? Why does he want me to accompany him? Is he suspicious of me? Why does he have to create problems for me?

"Then... Young master, where are you want to go?" I asked. Then the sounds of my stomach being exposed. I am so embarrassed when he looks after me. "I am sorry Young Master because I have to go."

"Wait." He grabs my wrist in seconds and makes me get numb.

"Young Master…" I am speechless.

" How about if Miss accompanies me to get dinner?"

Does he really want to trap me with him? Does he want to interrogate me? His way is too smooth but I am so hungry. If I ignore Chen Sheng Lin, perhaps he will become my nightmare when I become Jing Er so I don't have any choice except to accompany him to dinner.

"Then alright."

"Miss Jing Er...let's go! " He grabs my wrist tighter and leads me to enter the nearest restaurant.

"Wait! Young Master!"

We are sitting on the second floor so we can see the night scenery. I am startled when Cheng Sheng Lin orders a lot of food for us. I take a glance at Mei Hua who always looks cold even though she is beautiful. She is always set het awareness. If Mei Hua is not here, maybe I can eat these foods peacefully but now…

"Young Master."

"Young Master, why are you ordering a lot of foods like this? Are Young Masters feeling so happy now?"

"Uhm."

His short answer confused me. I think Jia Ming Yue stole his heart already. I know her heart is not for me but is she really killing my father? Ah! I don't know who is the real villain between Jia Ming Yue and this man, Cheng Sheng Lin or both of them.

"Miss…"

"Just called me Jing Er."

To be honest I feel so uncomfortable if he mentioned me as a girl.

"Then alright. Jing Er."

"That's better."

"So tell me why are you here?" He asked.

"This is my home town, why can't I am here?" I answered.

"I just know this city is your hometown. I have heard about the myth about this city."

"Myth? About what?"

"People say if this city is a witch city."

"Wha- what?"

Does he really want to find my stain here? I will never let him know. I take a deep breath then give him a gentle smile.

"That is just a myth but I never know if Young Master knows about myths like this."

"I am reading somewhere."

I keep smiling. I have to change the topic.

"Young Master, I am sorry I really don't know if Young Master wants to meet your lover over there. I am really sorry. I don't have any intention of disturbing both of you."

He is coughing and spontaneous. I pour a glass of water and offer it to him. He drinks the water then laughing. I don't know why he is laughing. Is there something funny here?

"Jing Er you have to eat more so you can see."

See? What should I see?

"Yes. What… I can see?"

"Jing Er, Miss Jia and me, we aren't lovers."

"Why..Why... Young Master, tell me about this matter?"

Why does he explain to me? I don't think that's necessary. We are just strangers. He doesn't need to explain this matter to me.
