Jun Ancestral mansion
Day after day, Xin Xiulin grew stronger and healthier compared to the day she woke from a coma. She has been following a routine every day. Now she only needs physio once a month. Which has been way better than before where she had to do it twice a day.
Despite this, she wasn't really satisfied with this body. And to be honest the humongous mansion wasn't helping because she is almost fainting when she is reaching the living hall at this point embarrassing her.
She also changed the interior of her room making her a little happier. Yet she hasn't got any news from her contacts in the black market on what's going on in Russia. It has been silent than ever which wasn't a good symbol.
One step at a time she told herself as she started arranging the book on the corner shelf. Then she heard a knock on her door.
" Come in". Jun Bohai was so bored when he got an idea for going out on a movie. He thought Xiulin would love it as she told him before that she loves them.
Over the past few days, he has gotten really close to her after her breakdown about the laptop.
He has started to understand her well enough now that he has been spending a lot of time taking care of her. She was a lot fun than he expected they both watched movies together and she also started teaching him English he was surprised to know that she knows a lot more languages than he expected.
" Xiuxiu, we are going to a movie." Xiulin just raised a brow at his excitement and smiled," Oh which one?" she asked.
" It is a newly released movie and our company was its sponsor. You do know brother has a reputation of producing the best ones only," he replied.
" Oh, okay is it just two of us, or Lu Jin and Han Feng are also joining us? "She asked.
" We both will go shopping and have dinner. Then they join us because they both seem to be busy at this moment," he answered Xiulin really started to get along with Lu Jin and Han Feng over a short span of time as they were really easy to talk to and joke around.
" Cool, I'll get ready and will join you downstairs".
"Okay," Jun Bohai said.
Xiulin did try to make friends at school, but she didn't know why, but everyone was always giving her cold shoulders and she stopped caring about it but she did feel that someone has been following her a lot these days.
She wasn't the real Xin Xiulin who would never protect herself and depend on others. She was Elena Carlo, who has seen cold people all her life it didn't make much of a difference. As long as no one attack first she will be kind and polite but if you attack first they will have to face her wrath. She also noticed a particular girl and her friends having animosity with her and they were not related to the original owner either making it hard for her to understand why they don't like her. She just wore a red high neck designer top and blue jeans while matching red block heels.
Imperial Beijing Mall
It was 5 pm when they reached the mall, "Bohai what exactly are we shopping for?" she asked looking at him.
" I was thinking we could shop something for you and me," he replied looking around.
"Let's play a game then?"She asked him.
" Interesting continue, your majesty".
"You will buy and choose clothes for me while I do it for you. how's that? " She asked him excitingly.
She had seen this kind of video online when she was Elena. But she didn't have anyone to do it with and her brother was always busy with his work so they never had any time to do it.
"Lessgo!" he said with a smile. They both grinned at each other and rushed to the opposite store to search.
…
In Russia
Adrian was looking out the glass of the ICU as he could see Alexei's heartbeat on the machine. They thought everyone was dead, but when they came across Alexei's body, they felt some pulse immediately rushing him to the hospital.
But he went into a coma right after he came to the hospital. Adrian looked at him on the bed with complicated expressions. He didn't think anyone would survive, but seeing Alexei survive, though he was happy, he couldn't show it because he lost something far more precious. His love, his sister he could still hear her words, "I love you brother", he would have been so happy to hear that from her if she was here, but he lost her forever and the only way to show the same faith to those who killed his sister is Alexei getting up.
He was his key to find all the answers.
...
Yan Xing finally coaxed Shen Lihua to go to the mall and shop. Shen Lihua has been sulking around ever since Xin Xiulin has joined.
Shen Lihua has never seen Jun Bohai moving so freely with a girl and now Xiulin also went in and joined with their group on her very first day. They were always so close-knitted and then she just gets along with them.
It is not digestible at all. She has been seeing Xiulin almost everywhere. Even in her dreams and this is the worse she can get. And now she can see her in the mall "
Ugh, I think I need a psychiatrist" she grumbled. Yan Xing, who was checking out the dress looked at her when she said that,
"What's wrong?"
"I'm seeing her everywhere"
"Who?"
" Xin Xiulin. She is right there".
Yan Xing turned around and Xiulin was actually there. She has been trying to gather around information about Xin Xiulin but as Xiulin has always been a loner there is no proper information about her and she has no other option than to call her and talk to her. So the minute she saw her Yan Xing thought there was no better to do that than today.
" Xin Xiulin" she called out.
Shen Lihua looked at her in horror. "You can see her too?"Shen Lihua asked accusingly.
