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)

My reflection in your eyes

Ji Yu woke up in the morning panicked because he did not see Ru Ran. He hopped out of bed and ran into the toilet, his heart race because the toilet was empty. He ran downstairs and almost tripped but he continue to run in search of her, he fears that she has disappear. Her returning to normal and able to be back home felt surreal. That is why there is a lingering fear that their happiness might be short lived.


He called out for her anxiously, the servants were surprised to see such a distraught master, they never seen him in such state. Ru Ran who was in the kitchen quickly rushed out hearing him calling. She was wearing a yellow apron under her maternity dress, her clean pretty face had some flour on it, and her hair  tied up neatly in a bun. His racing heart calmed down in a instant the moment he set his eyes on her figure. He rushed to her, held her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. She could hear his strong erratic heartbeats calming down.


"Silly man, didn't you read the note I left on the dresser as well as the bathroom mirror?" she asked after she hurriedly pulled back from his embrace, with a blush on her face, because she was shy of them being intimate in front of others.


"Nope. I panicked when I saw your weren't by my side," he said breathlessly.


"Oh no!!!" she said after she smell the burnt smell coming from the kitchen.


"My pancake!" she said while hurrying to the kitchen.


He stopped her from rushing into the kitchen and told the servants to settle it. Instead he carried her upstairs despite her protests.


"My soup!! My eggs!! Yu put me down!!!" she protested.


The servants all turn a blind eye to her protest and they all disperse away with a smile on their face. It has been some time already that the residence had been to quiet. Now since mistress is back, it is once again lively and filled with warmth.


Once they were in their bedroom, Ji Yu put her down gently. "Woman, have you any idea, how distress I was??"


She stared at him blankly, she had already placed a few notes as to avoid him from having this sort of reaction. Plus she had old father Lim to sit guard at the room door to inform him once he came out of the room, but because he was in a frenzy state, old father Lim could not catch after him the moment he rushed out of the room. How is it it was her fault?? Her heart softened when she stared at his messy appearance. He literally jumped out of bed to look for her, even his top was buttoned wrongly with one end higher than the other. She stared at her toes feeling guilty for causing him to be so worried. 


She then blinked a few times before she said in a small voice, "I just wanted to make you breakfast, I felt I haven't been a good wife and I wanted to surprise you. You slept so soundly and I didn't have the heart to wake you up."


He sighed and pulled her back into his embrace, "I am afraid. So afraid when I don't see you, I am afraid that weird spirit master will take you away, you know I don't believe in God and in the supernatural but when it comes to you, I will believe in anything as long as I can keep you beside me from harm's ways."


Far far away, a certain spirit master sneeze out loud, as if his nose was to blow away. Damn, must be someone talking bad about me, thought the spirit master to himself. 


Ru Ran did not know how to respond the vulnerable Ji Yu. She held him tight and said, "I came back didn't I? If there is another time, as long as there is life in me, I would find my way back to you, my heart belongs to you now and forever."
