Thank God!

Li Aizhe kept running and running and when she finally saw the beautiful and calm café that she worked at, she paused on her tracks and checked herself through the glass windows.

Getting inside the café, she saw her manager who was giving her warning looks. She mouthed 'sorry' and ran towards the changing room to change before she was swallowed alive.

When she finished changing her clothes, she felt like someone was glaring daggers at her through her peripheral visions. She looked back and saw her one and only friend.

"Ni Rong!! Oh, my beautiful friend! I must have saved a life --no, no, a country in my past life that I got such a kind, sweet, patient, tolerant and ama-- "stop it!"

Ni Rong cut her before Li Aizhe could butter her up anymore.

"Zhe, why do you have to do this to me, huh?" Ni Rong asked her with a worn out expression. "Do you know, that devil would have eaten me, if it wasn't for uncle Zhao. Only god knows how I survived!" Ni Rong looked at her angrily. "She kept asking me about your whereabouts and for God sake this is the 6th time since you started last week".

Li Aizhe looked at her and thought that she was done for today. Ni Rong was her childhood friend. They went to the same school, high school and they were supposed to go to the same University but Li Aizhe later decided to join a different one due to financial problems. She knew her inside and out. She also knew that Ni Rong was scared for her.

She must have been scared that if this continues on, Li Aizhe will be kicked out.

Li Aizhe looked down and did not dare to look at her angry and worried face no more.

She stayed like that for a while before she looked up with a huge smile plastered on her face and she said -- "RongRong, I am so sorry, you are my life saviour, what will I be without you?"

"How about we go for Ice-Cream after our shift?" Li Aizhe asked her expectingly. And as she expected, Ni Rong's gloomy eyes suddenly start to shine by the mention of ice-cream.

Li Aizhe knew how to please her, thinking that, she patted herself shoulders inwardly.

Ni Rong looked at Li Aizhe seeming like she had suggested the most amazing idea ever.

"Really?" she asked while shaking Li Aizhe's shoulders. "Yes!" said Li Aizhe while smiling brightly at her.

"Ok, I forgive you!" - Li Aizhe shook her head and smiled at her cute friend.

Wasn't she worried a few seconds ago? I guess ice- cream does the wonder.

"Thank you RongRong." Aizhe hugged her tightly.

"Lets go now, we are 5 minutes late for our shift. If we keep standing here, the Devil will for sure eat us up"

With the mention of 'Devil'- Ni Rong came back to her senses and within a flash she was out of the room.

She sure was afraid of her manager.

While the roads were bustling with noises and people were talking all over in Hongcun, It didn't feel like so in A city.

In the middle of the City stood the beautiful, luxurious house that was filled with nothing but expensive and beautiful designs.

You could hear nothing but the busy steps of people moving around and cleaning. The house screamed luxury and power. Words were not enough to express the enormous and luxurious Ah Residence.

On the second floor, there were people who were lined up outside a door. They were dressed elegantly and they looked neat. Anyone who looked at them could tell they were in a panic state.

"Butler Lu, why dont you take it in? You are the most bravest one among us!" said one of the maid

"Yeah, yeah, please do so Butler Lu!" soon everyone started to agree and push Butler Lu forward.

"Huh? me?" - with a sweat trickling down his forehead, he went forward and took the tray.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened and all of them stood straight. The air of the hallway started to change, it felt like there was a window open and the wind was too strong and cold.

Butler Lu wanted to escape and ran out of there but he somehow mustered the courage and started to move backwards. He lowered his head and so did the remaining staff.

"Good morning, Young Master Ah!" with a smile plastered on their faces, they greeted their master.

With a fierce gaze and a cold voice, Ah Si spoke out;

"Coffee?"- His voice was filled with nothing but coldness and fiercness.

In that instant, Butler Lu started to question which maid asked him to go forward and serve this ice monster.

"Here you go.." - he gave Ah Si the coffee and backed away to let him pass through the corridor.

Just as he thought that everything was okay and that he was going to leave, Ah Si looked back at them and with a voice not so cold but not so gentle either, he said -" I don' t really prefer cold coffees." Butler Lu was dumbfounded and he stood there and watched Ah Si leave with his full glory, frightening face and deathly aura surrounding him. He was dumbfounded yet aware of his mistake.

The staff held their breath for too long and didn't realize that he had left until they heard his footsteps echo becoming fainty. A few of them started to shiver and some of them were even sweating from their forheads and their backs.

Butler Lu came back to his senses and shook his head. He sighed inwardly and said - "Thank God!!"
