Coocumber

Du Ru Ran became an orphan at the age of 5 years old after a deliberate car accident. She was then taken in by her uncle. Life was truly tragic but being a smart girl, she managed to turn the tides around. She plans to avenge the death of her parents and her little brother who she did not get to meet in this lifetime. At that time, thank her lucky or unlucky star, she met a pair of mother and son, who gave her some warmth in her moment of total darkness. 

Years later, when they meet again, he stuck to her like a fly she could not get rid off. He kept insisting she took advantage of him when they were young and insisted that she take full responsibility for him.

20 years ago:
"Little girl, you really need to take responsibility on this young master when we are older. I am never going to let you go." He whispered into her ears. Due to his illness, he somehow grew up a little mature than peers his age. Hence, it wasn't a normal for him to be thinking about his future at such young age. In fact, since he was three years old, he had been groomed to be a fine young man in order to prepare him as he is the next heir of his prestigious family. He fell asleep with a smile on his face.

At the present:
She thought a dumb cupid made a mistake by accidentally release an arrow and the arrow went straight to a 7 year old boy and now, 20 years later, he is delusional.

"Why can't you leave me alone? I really have no time, no room for another person. I am pretty occupied with getting my revenge. Go and fly away," she said while making the hand gestures of shooing a pesky fly away.

"You really don't need to work hard on my behalf, I am touched that you worry about my well being and feeling. As long as I get to see you, that is all I require. You really don't have to do anything."

Ru Ran felt her head is going to explode, shameless, when did I, how on earth did he manage to lift himself so high that even direct language don't get to his thick skull? Fine, if you don't want to leave, I will walk away.

True to her thoughts she walked away huffing and puffing, fuming at the fly she can't get off.

"Wifey wait up!!!"

"Seriously, what do you see in me?" she asked impatiently. 

Instead of answering her immediately, he spun he around to face him, pushed her to lean against a nearby wall, locked her body with his legs and arm in order to stop her from escaping. His facial expression turn serious, gone the silly demeanor he had put up earlier. 

Her heartbeat increased and her palms started to sweat. She stuttered, "What.. What.. Just what do you plan to do?" 

"I am going to answer your question. Look me in the eyes. I see a beautiful lady, a stubborn one, cold exterior but inside she is kind and afraid to get hurt. She gave me a kiss 20 years ago and gave me the strength to live and from that day onwards, I have given my heart to her."

A story about love and revenge. (I hope so)

Updates: 1 chapter / day occasionally can go up to 2 chapters a day depending on my creative thoughts as well the time that is available for me to write

My reflection in your eyes

He took out his phone and she instinctively took out her phone as well. Her actions made him laugh again.


"Hey, hey, chill it! I am calling Wang Lei gege, you can take my phone to call him."


True to his words, he passed to her his phone. She pressed the power button and a locked screen popped up. She stared at him while waving the locked phone in his face waiting for his next action.


"787265" he said without further explanation.


As she key in the number she understood why it was Ruran5, indeed the number spelled out Ruran5. Hmm. Maybe this is part of the act. Running away from gangster, then softening her heart with words like this and to strengthen it further, this sort of gestures.


She dialled Wang Lei gege number and was surprised that it is saved in his contact list as Wang Lei gege. She pressed the call button and not too long, her call got connected and a familiar voice could be heard.


"Ji Yu, why are you calling? Have you found Ru Ran? How is she? By the way you promised me you will bring her back safe and sound. If you ever do anything to hurt her, I will personally skin you alive, I am not afraid of the power you now hold,"


"Wang Lei gege, it's me, yes he found me and spurt a lot of bullshit, and he mentioned he knew you, so I had to make sure."


"Nothing of that kind, Wang Lei gege, all that I said is the truth, no bullshit involved. She just refused to believe it and I allow you to skin me alive if I were to cause her any harm or hurt, you have my words on it,"he retorted immediately.


Why did it sound like a son in law pledging himself to a father in law? Ru Ran shook her head to calm her heart and sort matters in her brain.


Wang Lei gege exchange a few more words with Ji Yu before he hung up. Ru Ran stood at the side feeling conflicted. She sized up the man that stood not too far away from her, in the dark alley, with a little sunshine that was able to penetrate through showed a handsome young man, with a good built. She tucked her hands into her pocket and gripped the handkerchief that lay inside her right pocket. That handkerchief is the remnant of the blanket she used the night she met him. She had been using it over the years and after many repairs, it could not be saved anymore and finally, she made a handkerchief out of whatever pieces that were still usable. She took a deep breath and fished the handkerchief out of her pocket. She flashed it in front of his handsome face.


"I knew you had kept me somewhere in your heart. You do keep a piece of me near you," he said happily and took her in his arms and pressed her hard against his chest. Of course, he remembers his blanket, that was his favourite and he had given it to her.


She could hear his heartbeat close to her ear, no wonder it had a calming effect, it was the same heartbeat that calm her down 20 years ago when she had lost her world. She was drowning in his scent that is enveloping her and she quickly cut it off and gave him a shove.


"You are that sickly gege. Are you well now?" she asked him.


He gave her his brightest smile and said, "I am touched that you care. I am well now and I can prove it. Marry me?"


She took a step back. Seriously, this man need a head scan. How could her question lead to him asking for her hand in marriage? As she was pondering, she heard him say, "I know you  are looking for an opportunity to return as Du Ru Ran. I can give you that opportunity. Just trust me, okay?"


Trust me
