The Nightmares

How can all the adoration…

And loyalty in the past … Just turned into ashes

Everything just disappeared and what is left?

except… the pain that will never be erased

Li Jun Jie

***

"Young Master, I will protect you…"

"Young Master, I am sorry. This is my mistake…."

"Li Jun Jie! I hate you!"

"Li Jun Jie, you have to die!"

"Li Jun Jie, give me your promise…"

Those voices…

Huang Jing Er is startled when she wakes up. She found her body was wet because of sweat. Those nightmares…

"Lady…" Xiao Ran comes closer worriedly.

"Xiao Ran, why does this still happen to me? I can hear some people call Li Jun Jie."

Xiao Ran looks so startled when Huang Jing Er tells her about the nightmares but Xiao Ran tries her best to be calm.

"Lady, calm down… that just nightmares because Lady wants to visit Li's family manor." Xiao Ran said to calm her.

'What Xiao Ran said is true indeed. Perhaps this nightmare come again because I am interested in Li's family manor?'

Actually, Huang Jing Er knows that there is not an exact answer to her question.

"Yes…" Huang Jing Er take a deep breath then wipe her sweat on her face

Huang Jing Er doesn't see anyone in this room but Xiao Ran.

"Xiao Ran, where is An Ping?"

"She will come." Xiao Ran said.

Huang Jing Er looked at her clothes that were changed already and a few minutes later An Ping come with an exhausted face.

"An Ping, what happened to you?"

This morning An Ping looks so terrible even An Ping almost cries when Huang Jing Er asks her.

"An Ping, are you alright?"

"I can't find this place. Xiao Ran! Why do you leave me?!" An Ping pointing at Xiao Ran.

Huang Jing Er was a little bit shocked because An Ping doesn't come back last night because she doesn't remember this place. It's that so An Ping was on the outside.

"Lady, An Ping so sad…" An Ping cried.

"Then I think you should take a rest." Huang Jing Er said while hugging her and An Ping looks so happy because her Lady is concerned about her.

Huang Jing Er is only Huang's family heir but she is always kind to her maids so they are always endearing her so much even the Old Man can't be got angry with her for too long. Actually, her martial art is not low and her witchcraft is not bad but she has to learn a lot.

But Huang Jing Er doesn't want to waste her time so Huang Jing Er persuades the Old Man to let her go to see the world but at a certain time, she has to come back to Huang's manor.

This time Huang Jing Er let An Ping take a rest because she looked so tired and about Li's manor, Huang Jing Er thinks that she can go with Xiao Ran instead.

Huang Jing Er just thinking about wearing the man's clothes but this time Xiao Ran give her instead. Huang Jing Er was ready to go but Xiao Ran stopped her.

"Lady, Xiao Ran hope Lady wear girl dress rather than the man clothes because since Lady arrived in this city, I learned that a lot of people wants to harm Lady when Lady wear the man clothes. Xiao Ran just worry about Lady."

"But Xiao Ran, I am going with you now, right?"

"Lady, please consider this matter." Xiao Ran bowed to her.

Actually, it's become difficult for Huang Jing Er when she looks at Xiao Ran begging at her. During this time, Xiao Ran is always acted with dignity but since they had arrived in this city, Xiao Ran begged often in front of Huang Jing Er.

"Xiao Ran, is this a simple matter? I just want to go…"

"Last night when Lady sleeps, the Old Man said that he will kill me and Xiao Ran if something happened to Lady. Don't Lady know what is that mean?"

Huang Jing Er looks startled when she heard about the Old Man from Xiao Ran. Huang Jing Er knows that Old Man is always protective of her as her grandfather but sometimes, she finds out that Old Man is also an overprotective grandfather to her.

"But how can the Old Man knows about that?" Huang Jing Er asked because she was curious.

"Lady, do you forget about that?" Xiao Ran looked at Huang Jing Er while she take a deep breath then come closer behind Huang Jing Er.

All this time Huang Jing Er only can make a top bun then pin her favorite wooden hair stick on her bun. Xiao Ran pulls a wooden hair stick on her top bun and releases Huang Jing Er's black long hair.

This time, Huang Jing Er can't say anything but let Xiao Ran arrange her buns. Xiao Ran is doesn't need a lot of time to fix her hair because until now, Huang Jing Er cannot make the girl hair buns by herself but Xiao Ran never say a lot of things about that.

"Lady, you are a Lady in Huang manor so it's normal for the Old Man to become so worried to Lady." Xiao Ran said.

Actually, Huang Jing Er knows that fact clearly but Huang Jing Er just thinks wearing the dress is a little bit complicated than wearing the man's clothes.

"Lady, you are so beautiful. Do you know that?" Xiao Ran said to her.

Huang Jing Er doesn't think the same way because, for her, An Ping and Xiao Ran are more beautiful. Huang Jing Er never thinks that she is a beautiful girl even everyone in Huang manor always praises her.

"Xiao Ran, you know is difficult for me to be a beautiful lady." Huang Jing Er take a deep breath while looked her face in the mirror.

Xiao Ran looked at Huang Jing Er with a gentle gaze as if Xiao Ran understand how Huang Jing Er's feelings.

"Lady, what can I say? This is Lady's fate to become Huang's manor heir."

"But I don't want to be Huang's manor heir, can I?"

Xiao Ran take a deep breath as she looked at Huang Jing Er again.

"Lady, you can't." Xiao Ran said.
