Chapter 5 ILTM

Yue's in her bed for a long period with her eyes wide open and fully alert. She seems cannot fall asleep as the sad expression of her beloved grandma keeps surfacing in her mind.

It has been a few days since she has seen her Grandma Jane and from then onwards, she cannot help but notice the gloomy expression of her Mama.

Her Baba and Mama are the most important person in her life now and as much as possible, she wants to ease their burdens.

Even she has her knowledge in her past life, she still studies and read lots of books for more additional information she may need or use in the future. She also makes sure that she stays on top of her class so that she can retain her full scholarship so that her grandparents won't worry about her tuition anymore.

She has one golden rule in this life that she vowed to make happen no matter what, and that is Happiness, Safety, and Comfort of her grandparent is a must.

And now the happiness in that rule is being at risk. Her Mama is Sad and that is a no-no for her. If it's something, she will crush it, If it's someone, she'll find ways to beat them. She needs to find that something or someone that makes her unhappy and find a way to resolve her problem. The only thing is her grandma doesn't want to tell her. She is very tight-lipped. no matter in what way she asked or trick she does, her Mama never told her her problem.

Main reason?

Her grandparents are very doting to her that they do not want her to worry about anything, especially if it's financially.

Yue Stood from her bed and went outside her room slowly, A glass of cold water would help her think. She tiptoed as quietly as she can as she doesn't want to make a noise that may awaken her grandparents. She slowly moved to the stairs and she noticed. The light is still on downstairs, it only meant that someone is still awake.

She quietly and carefully went down and she saw no one in the living room, she went to the kitchen because she wanted to see who is still awake and also to get a glass of cold water but before she can go inside the kitchen, She heard her Mama and Baba talking in a low voice.

'So Old Jane decided to migrate to Us?' Her Baba asked.

'Yes, her family is in Us too. It seems that they want to take care of her.' Her Mama answered in a sad voice.

'I see. It can't be helped after all.' Baba said and patted her Mama's back, Comforting her.

'Old Wang, I think I have to start looking for another job.'

'Don't worry, take it slow, you can take time off and take care of our Yue for the meantime.' Baba suggested.

'No, you know I can't do that. Yue's monthly savings for college is important. we have to save as much as we can. I'm getting old now and there isn't much job I can do at this age.'

'Alright. Alright but don't be too hard at yourself.'

Yue clenched her fist.

In her last lifetime, she was only but a child and she remembered back then the sad expression on her Mama, back then, Her Mama said that she is just fine and no need to worry so she just let it be.

Back then, she never knew Grandma Jane.

Why?

Because she is just a child back then and never bothered to care. She never went with either her Mama and Baba to work because she went to their neighbor's house to eat, sleep, and play. Mama was very troubled back then to whom to ask to take care of her. If the neighbor is unavailable, her Mama would take her to childcare where she has to pay money for someone to look after her.

Her Grandparents offered to take her to their work, her Baba wanted to teach her about the vegetables and fruits and his business while her Mama is allowed to take her to work to but whenever they offered, she would cry or throw a tantrum because she knows that she cannot play or have fun there. In her past life as a child, she thinks going to accompany her grandparents to work is boring and a nuisance.

She realized how troublesome she was back there.

She had skipped taking a glass of cold water to quench her thirst as she does not want to disturb her grandparents as they are having a solemn talk. She went back upstares and to her bed.

Yue thinks that she has to postpone her plan regarding her original origins.

Yue's Rule:

Grandparents Happiness, Safety, and Confort.

If anything gets in the way of this rule, she has to take care of it first.

If there is a will there's the way.

....

'Xian your book is upside down.' Yue looked at the person sitting comfortably in front of her. Even at a young age, he emitted a very elegant composure. what a handsome kid! is what in Yue's mind but she doesn't have the energy to ogle at the beauty in front of her.

Yue flipped the book upside down and sighed deeply.

'What's the matter Xian?' Lei asked her with a worried expression.

'Say, Lei, If you lose a job, what would you do?' Yue asked him. It didn't take Lei a second to answer.

'That's an obvious answer Xian, one would look for a new one.' he said.

'But what if you don't want that person to work but that person wants to work, what will you do?' Yue asked again.

This time, Lei's brow furrowed

'Look for something that person will be busy with.' Lei said firmly

'I see. Yes, that's a very good idea, thank you so much, Lei!' Then Yue gave him her usual bright smile which made Lei's heart flutter. he is happy to help her anytime.

'Who is this person we are talking about?' Lei asked.

'My Mama, now the question is what is that thing that will make her busy.' Yue thinks deeply.

When Lei heard that it's her grandmother, He was surprised. Even if it has just been a short time that he met Yue, Lei knows very well how much she loves her grandparents. Just by the way she talked about them, the way her eyes sparkle as she looks to the librarian, She is very filial and loving.

She said her Mama will lose a job? That's what surprised him. It took him a great effort to be here in the library every other day. There have been a few people he has to take care of. Last time, when he met Yue and came back the next day, he is very disappointed that she is not there, thankfully she came back the next day.

He had a very peaceful and calming time when he is at the library. He comes here every other day like Yue. being here is very relaxing and it felt like he is in a safe have especially when Xian in here. It was a feeling that he wanted to protect but now, as Xian told him what will happen to the library, he felt that his safe have is in danger.

He can't help feeling sad about it then an idea popped up in his head.

'Yue, I have something to suggest, feel free to think about it.' Yue tilted her head and listened and she was very impressed and thankful.

'Lei are you sure that is fine?' Yue asked unbelievably, what he is offering is very wonderful but she can't help to get worried.

'Yes, It is fine If your Grandma is okay with it.' And he gave her a playful smile, a smile where Yue can't help but feel that there is something more than what he offers.
