The Assistant

The past oath will never void as long as the entwined two souls still exist.

The Oath

***

I am still thinking about what Bai He Lian said before. Tonight, I am working alone because Bai He Lian meets his dangerous man. I am worried about her but I can rest assured when she said that that man cannot kill her.

I am doing my activities like usual because I don't want to focus with that man.

I am startled when there is an extraordinary man who visits my cafe but it is just temporary because a few seconds later that man really comes with his cold smirk.

His appearance makes all my customers look at him with full adoration. Tonight he wears casual clothes so no one knows if he is a cunning creature. I never knew before if that man is so handsome in a casual outfit. His nude sweater and tight jeans make him so gorgeous then I understand why the people give him attention like this. Some girls also take photos. They look so happy when that man throws a gentle smile at them.

Seriously! He can steal their heart by his looks.

"Fei Fei, I come to you." He said.

"Why are you coming? "

"I am missing you. "

I look at him with arms crossed. I know he must be kidding.

"I have to work here so please don't give me any problems." I said.

"Okay, I understand. Actually, I am here to help you."

"Do you think that I trust you?"

After saying that. I am working again. I can't believe the fact that man is really something. His appearance makes girls order more foods, desserts and drinks even though there are a lot of girls still on the waiting list because this place is crowded already.

I can't believe that man really helps me to serve the customer and that makes me wonder why he does it? He doesn't show any unusual things like he did to me. He looks so ordinary. He doesn't use his craft or magic and he helps me a lot tonight. Even wash dirty plates. A man like him washes dirty plates for me.

After I closed the cafe, he insisted on accompanying me back home. We took the bus without words until we arrived in front of my home's door.

"We arrived already and thank you for tonight." I said.

He smiles and whispers.

"Don't say thank you yet, Fei Fei."

"Why?"

"Because I will accompany you tonight."

"What?!"

"Tonight your friend is with someone."

After hearing from him, I realized Bai He Lian wasn't reaching home yet so I opened the door and looked for Bai He Lian but she wasn't here.

That man got into my home then raised his left palm then the door closed suddenly. He shows his magic to me.

"What are you doing?! "

"Don't you see that I help you to close the door. This is late already so we have to take a rest. Owh yes.... Fei Fei, you don't need to wait for your best friend because she will not come back home."

"Why?! What are you doing with her?! "

"I didn't."

"So where is she?! "

"I'd told you before she has something to do with someone. You don't need to worry. As you know that he cannot hurt her so you can rest assured your best friend is still alive. "

"Tell me where is she now? "

"Fei Fei, why do you want to intervene in their business while we have a lot of problems we need to solve together. "

I grab his collar and pull him closer to intimidate him but his violet eyes make my body become weak. My body almost slid down if his arms were not holding my waist tightly.

"Fei Fei... You owed me." My palms still grab his collars but in another way. I hate it because this pose looks like I seduced him.

"Tell me where is Bai He Lian? " I asked with a weak voice while my head leaned on his chest.

"Even I tell you, you cannot go to meet her. "

"No. I have to help her."

"Then help yourself first. "

What he has done to me? I become so weak in front of him. He carried me to my bed room and put my body on my bed.

"What do you want to do? "

"What do you think? " He asked me back.

I can see him clearly but can't move freely because I don't have any energy. That man helped me to take off my jacket and cover my body with a duvet then he lay beside me.

"You have to go."

"Fei Fei, I am so tired now. Let's sleep. "

"I don't want -"

My eyes just closed. I know he wants me to sleep.

***

When I wake up. I see no one here. I am alone in my bedroom but later he comes into my bedroom with an apron applied to his body.

"What are you doing here?" I rise up and approach him.

"Didn't you learn from your lesson yesterday?" He stared at me and made me stop. " I make breakfast for you."

Uh?

"Don't be startled. I don't want you to die now. You can bathe. I am waiting in the dining room. "

He leaves me then makes me confused. Perhaps I need more time to process information in the morning.

I am so refreshed after bathing but I still don't have an idea how he can make breakfast? Why does he take care of me? What scheme he plans on his mind? He looks so adorable with the apron applied on his perfect body. On the dining table, I see only a set of breakfast.

"Why do you just make a set of breakfast?" I asked suspiciously. Did he poison me with this food?

"Fei Fei you don't need to worry. If I want to kill you, you must die by now."

"So why-"

"Because I am so full right now."

"What do you eat?"

"Your blood."

What?! He said that he eats my blood? I feel nausea right now. Imagine that man killing me and my blood on his lips.

He must be kidding, right?

'I need your blood.'

Oh my God! He is a monster. He doesn't kill me because he needs my blood. My body is trembling and I don't have an appetite anymore.

"GO!" I shouted loud.

"Fei Fei, can you just eat breakfast without any drama?"

"Are you insane?! How can I eat my breakfast when I know a monster wants my blood?! You are a monster! "

He smirked evilly then approached me. My body is still trembling.

"Fei Fei, don't worry because I just need your blood not anyone else because we tied. Ten years ago, I let you go because I need time to recuperate. Ten years makes me so thirsty and no one can help my thirst except your blood."

"Are you a vampire? "

"No."

"So you must be kidding when you said that you -"

"I am serious but I am not a vampire like in your imagination. "

I am walking carefully to the kitchen because I see a knife on the kitchen table but before I can reach the knife. That man raised his right palm then the knife just flew to his palm.

"Fei Fei, you can't kill me with this knife. Owh yes....you can't kill me. "

"Why does this issue become a big deal to you? I need your blood. I will never kill you. That's good enough, right? I will never touch anyone else if you give your blood voluntarily."

"But I don't want to! "

"It does not hurt."

"I don't want to give my blood to you!"

"You have to because you will die if you don't give your blood to me. You had created this situation even if you die and are born again we will meet again and perhaps it's gonna be worse than this time."

"I don't understand! Can you just go! "

"Come here! "

Suddenly something hard drove my body into his embrace. I am shocked. I want to rebel but I always become weak in front of him. Unconsciously I put my head on his chest.

"Fei Fei eat your breakfast." He whispered in my ear. This man helped me to sit and manage my body to eat properly.

"Go! "

"Fei Fei my name is Xi Wang. I am not this or that man. "

"My name is Fei Yang not Fei Fei! "

"But I want to call you Fei Fei. "
