Chapter 5:Warm Hug

Who dosen't want to know about their background. Nobody likes to be called a bastard. And it is same for 'Xiao Tian'. Although, he has grandma who adopted and took care of him, he still got emotional. And tears came out his eyes.

"hey brat! Why do you always start to cry like a baby?" 'Yun' mocked.

"hmph! What do you know?" 'Xiao Tian' snorted.

"what a younger temper…" 'Yun' thought

"oh right? You told that you know the reason behind why I was abandoned?" 'Xiao Tian' asked very curiously.

"yeah but it's only a speculation. Don't expect much" 'Yu' lightly spoke.

"ok! Please tell me" 'Xiao Tian' eagerly agreed.

"first your parents may be alive!!" 'Yun'

"what?" 'Xiao Tian' got anxious.

"I already told it is speculation""but why they abandoned you is surely related to this!!!" 'Yun'

"what?" 'Xiao Tian' was impatient.

"be patient."" First one may be, they did not want you" 'Yun'

When 'Xiao Tian' heard this he got little sad.

"other?" 'Xiao Tian'

"other is that they wanted to protect you so that's why left you!!!!"

"What problems did I have that needed protecting me?" Xiao Tian asked, confused.

"There are reasons," Master Yun said gently. "I can't tell you now. But once you grow stronger—more mature—and one day, I will tell you!!."

"ok Master! thanks" 'Xiao Tian' bowed with thanks.

"Alright! I need to rest now," Master Yun said, waving a hand dismissively. "Go out and practice the techniques I taught you. And then… go meet—ahem!" she smirked, "your girlfriend."

Before Xiao Tian could protest, he was already being kicked out of here.

After Xiao Tian left, 'Yun' let out a soft sigh.

"At least… there's that powerful grandmother of yours," she muttered to himself -"Once i regain my strengtha little, i may have to talk to her..."

"Ouch!" Xiao Tian winced as he rubbed his head. "But at least… I learned something about my background."He muttered to himself :-"I hope it's the second reasone they had abandoned me…".J

Then he paused—his thoughts drifting to the first possibility. His expression darkened slightly. The memory stung more than the light headache.

"Ah! Li Ling?!""where am i??" now he remembered that he forgot about 'Li Ling' since he fainted after the fight. He started to panic.

"ehh! isn't it my home? Why am I at my home?" he looked around and find that this was his home.

*drr* his room door was opened and a very cute girl came in. the girl was about the same age as 'Xiao Tian'. She was so beautiful that she was just like a fairy descended from heaven's.

"Li Ling?" it was indeed 'Li Ling'. After 'Xiao Tian' fainted she took him home and she took care of him till midnight. So her face was still beautifull but little pale.

*woos* 'Xiao Tian' ran and instantly hugged her tighty. Tears came from his eyes.

'Li Ling' was startled. She panicked due to seeing him crying and consoled him.

"Li… Li… Li Ling…" Xiao Tian stammered, his voice trembling."I thought… I thought I lost you…"His head dropped slightly. "I… I'm sorry."

Li Ling stepped closer, her expression softening despite the pain in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey—why are you apologizing?" she said, forcing a smile."Aren't I standing right here in front of you? And besides… you protected me, didn't you?"

Her voice faltered for a moment."If anyone should apologize… it's me."

She looked at him with a mixture of guilt and warmth, struggling to hide how much it hurt to see him like this.

"but.. but…"

"not but" she rubbed his tears but tears started to flow in her eyes as well.

He gently rubbed her eyes and spoke "Li Ling?"

During there warm little roamance, a warm voice could be heard.

"oh! What are you youngster's doing?"

"ah!" due to the coming of an un-expected guest, 'Li Ling' got startled and got separated from his embrace and her face was beet red.

The unexpected guest was no other than 'Xiao Tian' grandma, 'Granny Xue'. She was watching good show from side lines.

"G-Grandma, this… that…" 'Li Ling' hastily tried to explain. She wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it.

"it's ok" 'Granny Xue' warmly smiled.

'Li Ling' fiercely glance at 'Xiao Tian' with red face and ran away from the room.

"grandma…" 'Xiao Tian' smiled wryly and went after her.

"Tianer…" 'Granny Xue' wanted to say something but did not spoke in the end.

He caught up to 'Li Ling' and gave her a fierce hug.

"you!" 'Li Ling' again startled and tried to struggle but due to his fierce grip she gave up the struggle and enjoyed the warm embrace. She was feeling very comfortable in his embrace. 'Xiao Tian' was the 2nd person with hom she felt like this other than her….

After few minutes, 'Li Ling' finally realized what she was doing. Her face beamed red with shame. It was taught to her that these things should only be done after marriage but she.. she..

She struggled hard and got out of his embrace and furiously glared at 'Xiao Tian'.

"i.. am ..sorry" 'Xiao Tian' blushed a little and "Thank You!" he thanked sincearly.

When 'Li Ling' heard this her heart instantly melted. She was about to cry but controlled and "I .. will.. come back" and she ran away.

'Xiao Tian' stood there silently blankly.

When she ran out of his house a, black Mercedes was waiting to pick her up. A man in black suit came out and respectfully waited for her.

Just before she got up into the car, she turned back once and 2 crystal tears fell from her face. "fool! That was very warm....." these words came from her mouth.

"miss!" the black clothed man panicked.

"nothing let's go!" and she left.

______

'Xiao Tian' stood at his for quite some time. Grandma came to his side. She lightly patted his head and spoke warmly "I like her but you have to work hard".

"ha?" before 'Xiao Tian' could ask anything she already left to rest.

He also went to his room and sat on his bend and got on his bed and sat in yoga position. He closed his eyes and cleared any un-wanted thoughts.

"####" he started to recite 'Heaven Mind Clearing Mantra'. His face became slightly pale. After some time, 2 girls faces came in his mind.

One was breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairy descended from the heavens. She was tender and sweet, and just looking at her eased Xiao Tian's restless heart.

The other was equally stunning, matching the first in beauty, but utterly different in presence. She was an icy beauty—so cold and distant that simply gazing at her could chill one to the bone.

"Crap!"Suddenly, seeing her face, Xiao Tian's thoughts shattered. His concentration broke completely, and he stood frozen on the spot.
