Chapter 1: She was already dead
Sighing in heart, Fan Dandan can only suppress the bitter feelings she have as the person in front of her looked at her with a brimming smile that his eyes seemed to disappear like one of those characters in the manga she reads. She tried coughing to ease the tension that she is feeling not knowing if she should ask a question to the smiling person. But every time she tries to open her mouth she felt fear creeping besides her, afraid that if she said the wrong words the smiling person might kill her.
But she was already dead...
That's right she is dead, and the thought that this person in front of her is some godly immortal that can easily erase her soul if she misspoken had arisen her fear to a whole new level. The smiling god only let out a chuckle seemingly knowing what was in her mind.
He enjoyed as he watched Fan Dandan expression seems to shift from pale white to blue as she overthinks things. Still looking at her with a smile his eyes opened up revealing the deep set of grey eyes. Immediately, Fan Dandan flinched as she thought characters in the manga with smiling eyes only open up if they are facing a serious situation. She clenched her fist and closed her eyes readying herself for her soul to be lost forever but the smiling god stood up and just patted her head.
"I'm sorry if I scared you, Dandan." A breath of relief surge her body as she exhale a ton of carbon dioxide when the smiling god patted her head and called her name warmly. She opens her eyes and raised her chin to meet the gaze of the person in front of her. Looking at the person in this distance her jaw dropped and hang as a slight drool escapes her mouth.
Holy shook this person is beautiful!
Noticing the admiring gaze of Fan Dandan he wiped off her drool with his sleeve and picked her up, carrying her in his left arm. At such closer distance Fan Dandan was even more bewitched as she meets his eyes straight on.
Wow, he's even closer...
Wait closer? Σ('･ω･Ⅲ)
Fan Dandan panicked and waved her arms around before pushing herself away from the person. Fortunately, Huang Syaoran grip on her was tight as he had expected that this would happen so he gently pinched her cheeks to grab her attention.
"Calm down, Dandan you've just woken up." But how can she calm down when a beautiful ikemen was in front of her, not to mention he was carrying her. Putting her hand on her chest she slowly tried to calm her heart that was beating ferociously.
What kind of cruel joke is this?
She knew she was already dead. No need to kill her one more time.
I'm gonna die of a heart attack because of this guy!
With a sudden realization, Fan Dandan heartbeat seem to skip at the thought that this person was a death god.
"Are you the god of death?" She mange to squeak out. Her cheeks were all red up to her ears and she was fidgeting like small animal.
"Is that how you see me?" Huang Syaoran tucked the stray hair behind her ears as he smiled even more when he notices how red her ears were.
Fan Dandan only let out a nervous laugh as she felt not only her heartbeat getting faster but also beads of sweat that to from on her forehead.
How was she supposed to answer?
She really wanted to cry as she felt that the boy in front of her was dangerous to the extent that every bone in her body was telling to run, but her brain was like nahh bruh, you're already dead so stay.
"Um- you are?" she stuttered as she forces herself to ask that question. The boy smiles immediately drop and the pink atmosphere that was choking her had disappeared instantly. Fan Dandan regretted her decision to ask that question as her body trembled. Huang Syaoran slowly places her down in bed that she was sitting previously and knelt to the ground to meet her eyes.
The intent look on his face caused Fan Dandan to pale. Even though she is dead the emotion that she mostly felt was this crippling fear.
The boy stood up but not before landing a kiss on her lips. Which cause to make her eyes widen in surprise before covering her mouth with both of her hands. The kiss immediately made the blood that vanished a while ago turn her into a complete tomato.
Huang Syaoran turn his back and exited the room but taking a quick glance at the girl who was still processing everything. He closed the door and a blue robed figure approached him.
"Master, how is the young miss?" He question pronto. Not caring the formalities. Hu Li Fang just wanted to make sure his mistress was safe, and awake with no complications whatsoever.
"Dandan is fine, but she has no memories of us whatsoever." Huang Syaoran concluded as the expression her face was vividly portrayed. From her nervous laugh to her heartbeat that beating rapidly, and how she hold herself back from the question that he dreaded hear.
He clenched his fist inside his sleeves as he gritted his teeth in frustration but his face was smiling coldly.
At least she is back. He tried to console himself. At least he could see her expression not a blank face with close eyes and death looming over her body.
"Hu Li Fang tighten the security around the vicinity." He ordered as Hu Li Fang cupped his hands and answered "This servant will obey."
Back at the room, Fan Dandan who was look like she was in a daze had a dumb expression on her face but on the inside she in turmoil as she screamed internally. Mummy your little girl first kiss was taken by menacing smiling death god!
She first thought when Huang Syaoran kissed her on the lips it was his way to take her soul like one of those dementors from harry potter but no.
He just kissed her, and a quick one at that.
(ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ) was she expecting it to be longer?
Fan Dandan sweated like she had run a mile. As she scold herself for being lewd and thinking weird things at the person whom she just met and never knew his name.
She got up from the bed and carefully looked around the room that fully furnished and adorned with gold and jade. She went to the vanity table and picked up a brush and scrutinize over it. Is this real gold? She shrugged and bit it to satisfy her curiosity at this point she really does look dumb and simple.
"Miss what are you doing?" An Meilin deadpan. When she had heard from her master that the young miss has woken up Syaoran didn't have to order her as quickly went away to serve Fan Dandan only to find her biting on a brush. Although her face was telling otherwise she was happy that the young miss was finally awake.
Putting the brush down Fan Dandan was already coming up with excuses on how to explain it to the beautiful lady in front of her. She must have look like a fool, didn't she.
Yeah you did.
An Meilin walk towards her but instinctively Fan Dandan backed away causing An Meilin to feel a little pang in her heart. Her eyebrows were creased as she eyed Fan Dandan, observing her facial expression.
"I'm sorry." Fan Dandan was surprise when she uttered those words when she saw a flash of hurt in An Meilin eyes and she couldn't bear it.
"You don't remember anything do you, young miss?" An Meilin steeled herself as she waits for the answer of her beloved master. "I'm sorry." She said again. "I really don't know any of you. I-I was dead—my bestfriend pushed me off the balcony – I heard my bones crack when I hit the pavement and my vision darken and it felt really cold—I don't know anything—" Fan Dandan begin to spout incoherent sentences as she mumbled. Her arms gripping her clothes tightly as the memories of her dying begin to flash in her mind. How she felt the coldness slowly seeping in and how the warm blood was slowly dirtying the streets. How she could feel her body contorting in inhumane ways, and how her classmate laugh with her bestfriend as slowly watch her die.
Tears slowly streaming down her face as her hands hold her head. She felt her knees went weak before An Meilin supported her. She supported the crying Fan Dandan all the way to the bed before calming and stroking her hair.
"I'm sorry Miss. It seems I let you remember something you shouldn't have."
"Am i—I dead?" Fan Dandan weep, tears still falling.
"You were, but now you're alive. I, An Meilin gave you my word." She hugged the crying Fan Dandan in an attempt to pacify her, but it only made worse as she wailed her heart out.
