91_Seize Him

Mu Lihai arrived home when it was already dark. The rain didn't let up during his ride and it explained why he came back late by an hour. Mu Ruan came towards her son and saw that he was deep in thought. 

"What's wrong?" she asked. Mu Lihai just shook his head indicating that it was nothing. He walked past her and began ascending the stairs. 

Mu Ruan watched her son's back retreating to upstairs and she turned her head back to the area she came from. She just shrugged her shoulders and went straight back, but not before she told him to take a warm bath before coming down for dinner. 

Mu Lihai got into his room and he closed the door behind him as he leaned on his back. The flashes of memories didn't come back again but for some reason he felt something was wrong. 

"Why am I feeling colder than usual..?" he stared at his palm and belatedly realized his fingers were slightly trembling.
