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

Ai Sha on the other hand, was floating around as a wandering soul, trying her best to get back into her body, but each time she tried, she was bounced off.


"If I were you, I would just take a short break on life," said a voice.


Ai Sha looked around frantically and saw an old man looking calmly at her. He wore a white robe and around him seemed to be glowing brightly. He was stroking his long white beard as he waited for her to reply.


"Why... How.. Did I? Am I dead?" she finally settled on one question and asked.


"It doesn't seems like it," she answered after observing the situation around her.


"Do you want to leave this world? I can help you. Leave all the unhappiness behind, reborn and this time lead a happy life instead? No calculative parents but pure true love," he asked.


"What are you? God? Or just a pathetic soul like me wandering around and playing God?" she asked.


"I am a messenger, I don't play God, I am not God," he answered calmly.


"Then tell me how do I get in? Get back into my body," she asked.


"Why do you want to go back? Your life is not great at the moment, I am offering you a chance to start fresh," he said.


"Does this new life has him in it?" she asked the old man bitterly while pointing at Ken.


"No. He stays in this life," he answered.


"But if you choose to stay and you end up dying this offer will be void, but your next life will be worst than this current suffering," he enunciated each word clearly.


Ai Sha started to laugh maniacally, "Did this happened in my last life too?"


"I'm not here to talk about the past," he answered calmly.


"Then so be it, I choose to take a risk in this life, after living so many years with this beautiful face of mine, I had never truly felt it was beautiful until I looked into his eyes. It is through him, I could appreciate myself. I am unwilling to leave behind something so rare. I want to go back to him, even just to spend only a day with him, I won't regret. I want him to know how much I love him and even after I'm gone, I want him to be happy," she said while crying silently. 


The next thing Ai Sha knew, she was all alone, she blinked a few times and looked around but she could not see the old man any longer. Her surroundings became dark once more. She could only hear Ken's whispering telling her, she'd be alright. Once they get Ah Li they will reverse her coma. 


Meanwhile the old man stood on a tree branch not far away from the window where Ai Sha was warded. 


"Brat, I am glad you found someone worthy your love. Sure enough, she is as tough as you. Soon, this will all end."


Soon this will all end
