Mui Hue's house
Chapter 4
"Can I just open my eyes?" Mui Hue said; not wanting the fact that Zhang Yong is covering her eyes even uf they will just go in an amusement park. She already went to an amusement psrk and why with covering her eyes?
"No, we're not there yet," Zhang Yong retorted then chuckled.
"Wait, where are we? I though will going in amusement parks but why am I hearing birds and not childrens cheered and loud noises in amusement park?" She have a clue already, yeah, they didn't went to an amusement park but in country side where she will surely love.
"Shh, don't be too loud." He said, Mui Hue gulps not wnting the thought of Zhang Yong reasing her. She is having a feeling something is wrong nd she wants to back out and run from there but her feet won't go, they will following where Zhang Yong lead them.
"Okay, Now." He said again then pulled his hand away from her eyes. Mui Hue's eyes blur at the sudden light from the sun, she blink her eyes twice before her vision goes back. Their's on table covered by white cloth; two chaircovered with white cloth too, like in wedding. "Did you like it?" He asks, giving Mui hue his best big smile.
"Of course, who wouldn't?" She looks at him and give him a hug; a tight one. "Thanks. I'm so thankful you forgive me very fast." She burried her face in his chest and he played with her hair.
"I didn'r forgive you, You didn't do anything wrong. How will I forgive you?" She broke the hug and look at his eyes.
"I felt like sorry, sorry for leaving you not telling you the reason and sorry for prerending that I don't know you.." His big question is why she does have to disguisted herself snd oretend like someone else? Why did Mei Xing is more like Mui Hue? but he shrug the thought of it, he doesn't want to ask more question since he knows that Mui Hue is having a problem, he doesn't want to be a burden.
"Let's eat, I'm hungry." Zhang Yong changed the topic, if they continue to talk about it they will end up crying and saying sorry to each other. Mui Hue chuckled and they both went to the chair: he helps her to sat down in her chair and he went to his seat.
He puts a food in her plate while she wandered her eyes around. They are at the side of sun since it's still morning. And the rising sun's reflect at the sea that is calm. "I know you like this kind of view since I saw it on your gallery and wallpaper." Mui Hue look at him: shocked.
"You chack my phone without my consent?!" She shout the bird that is resting at the tree near them flew at her sudden burst out. One bird flew in Zhang Yong's head, he's afraid that the bird will grb his head just like what happened to him before.
"Why did you shout?" He blurted; he let a heaved sigh, claming himself. "You left your phone in the nightstand, and its ooen so I decided to check your phone. We're friends and lovers thought so we have a right to check each others phone." He retorted.
"We still don't know yet, Zhang Yong. Yeah, I want you-- no, I love you but still don't know if faith will give us a chance.. I still have to fix my problem so we can be together but I'm not confident with my plans." Her shoulder falls.
"Just like I said yesterday, we can fight it together." She raise her gaze to him.
"They will kill me, you, us if they will see us together and having so much fun; I don't want that to happen because if that's happen, there's 0% or us being together.. Even if we have 50% chance we can be together snd 50% chance we can't be together, I'm still figuring out how to get the chsnce we can be together, high up to 100%. I still have to make sure, that someone that has been following me, us will stop." She explained.
He mentally facepalms his face. "Why they want us to go through many problem when we just love someone?" He blurted then Mui Hue sigh.
"I know, right."

Things happened in a hurry, Mui Hue and Zhang Yong just get back from the car after shopping: buying clothes, accesories and gifts. Mui Hue smiles and looks at the MAC paper bag, her mouth went 'O' when he saw a phone.
"Is this phone is mine?" She asks, wanting a assurance. Zhang Yong nodded without giving a stare at her since he's already driving. "WAHH! are you sure? why are you buying me so many things today? I don't like expensive things and gifts, right?" She said while looking at the phone's box.
"I know you don't like it when everyone buys you gifts but.. Just one time, let me buy you expensive things and gift you a gift." She let a heavy sigh snd nodded with a smile plastered in her face, she wanted a new phone but can't buy any since she lacks of money, she doesn't have enough money.
"Thank you." She don't know how she will thank him. He alresdy done many things to her since they first met again while she's just chilling in the corner not moving. She opened her seatbelt and lean to kiss Zhang Yong's cheeks but since he looks at her direction, their lips touched each other but it was just a peck.
They both got shocked and Mui Hue lean to her sit, overwhelming. What did just she have done? Is it right? "Wow, that was so sudden, Ms. Lu." Her cheeks burns, she clasp her lips and looks at the window not wanting Zhang Yong to see her red cheeks.
"I-I'm sorry, I was about to kiss you cheeks as a thank you but you just look at my direction so.." She didn't continue what she was saying and looks away.
"It's okay. It was a sweet accident, huh?" He look at her as saw her burning cheeks since she's already looking in front of her. "I want more." He said makes her flinch, he chuckled at how he can affect you by what just hapoened a while ago, he glued his gaze at the road again.
Two minutes of being silence, His phone rang. He's busy driving while Mui Hue is bored at her sit. She sat down properly and looks at the where his cellphone is, MEI XING. She's calling. She rolled her eyes seeing her enemy's name in Zhang Yong's phone.
"Xan you check who it is, Mrs. Ching?" Zhang Yong teased, he noticed she didn't give any emotion of expression about what he said so he stops and ask who is calling him.
"Mei Xing." She retorted,
"Mute it and don't mind her."
"But, she must something important to talk to you." He hesitate to grab the phone and answer it. He stops the car at the side road and let a heavy sigh before grabbing the phone and click the green button.
"Yes?" He answered in a nice tone. "I will think about it." He turn his phone off and groan. Mui Hue asks what she just said, "She asks me if I'm free tomorrow and I didn't tell her my answer yet but I'm ready to reject her."
"No, no.. Don't.. Tell her yes, I'll be gone tomorrow. You'll be lonely so it's okay you can go out with her, I know you're only mine." She laugh in victory. He pouts then nodded. She laugh but deep inside, she was hurt at the fact, she just give her enemy a chance to be eith Zhang Yong, though she knew there's a chance she can stole Zhang Yong's attention and heart away from Mui Hue.
Her kindness is killing her sometimes. But what can she do, it's her personality though.

Zhang Yong dropped Mui Hue to his house after their breakfast near the lake. "You should've drop me off at my apartment since I have to do something before I packed my things for tomorrow."
"I'll be with you tomorrow so there's nothing to bother.. I already pack our things." Mui Hue's eye shut wide: she didn't expect Zhang Yong to say that.
"No. It's very dangerous, so please.. Don't try to folow me or anything.." She pleaded.
"But.. What if something bad happen to you there? Then I'll lose you forever, I don't like that." He blurted, Mui Hue shook her head.
"I will be fine there," She assured him. "You have to meet Mei Xing tomorrow too so you can't be with me." She mentally depreassed at what she just said.
"Stop mentioning her name, your just hurting youself."
"I didn't.. Let me excuse, Mr. Ching, I'll go now." She bow before running towards his room door and downstair to main door. He didn't know why he doesn't move to run after her. He facepalmed his face and let a heavy sigh. He doesn't like the fact, when she's being dead serious; annoyed or mad, she's being formal to him.

Mui Hue shrug her shoulder as she saw their house, the house she frigthened back then. The house that cause her traumatized, She let a deep breath before entering the gate. In front of the house didn't change, it still the same from before. It's been a year since she saw and visit their house.
She wonders how her little sister doing. She carefully went to the main door and her heart beats faster than before. She didn't hear any noise from the house, and felt like something bad happened or gonna happen, For Mui Hue, every morning is their nightmare, every second, hour is their nightmare. In the morning when they woke up, their father's loud voice can be heared; looking for his money.
Mui Hue tried to contact her mother since they can't live with their father since he tortured them: she didn't recieved any call back or anything from her mother. Mui Hue standed up in her own feet at the very young age. She raised her little sister and work hard but in the end her father took her salary.
She left their house without anything. She didn't bring any clothes etc. She didn't take any sleep and work all day long; 24 hours. She didn't eat food and that also lead her from diseased and past out at the middle of the road, hopefully, someone is nice that saw her and went to the hospital. They raised her; buy her food, clothes and give her much love that her parents didn't fulfill but she still not full she just find her half self and not the whole.
Instead of hearing any noise from her father, and saw the clean intire house that cleaned by her little sister; Her heart dropped seeing the whole house, there's no light peircing through the windows. Everything is dark, she hoped they didn't move again. She strolled to the switch and open the light.
Her heart dropped ever more and tears form in her eyes. Her little sister is lying doen in the floor lifeless. Her legs got weak when she start to walk to her, her eyes getting blur too. "Mui Mui!" She shouted. Everything shattered, her heart shattered at the sight that welcomed her. Her loathed to his father grew even more and all she can think is doing the sme thing as he did to them snd her little sister.
She shrug it off and shouted for help. She didn't expect that to happened. That's why she felt bad and nervous while she hold the doorknob. She ask herself why everything turns bad. They used to be. hspoy family back then but why the table has turns? Why their mother left them and why their father abused them?
She turns to look at the main door with her swallen eyes when she sense someone is approaching her, maybe someone who heared her shouting for help. But that caught her guard off is she saw her father with a long thick wodden and everything went black.
