At the bus, ShenYi was in daze. Her tears were already dried while she's running and waiting at the bus stop.
Earlier, she kept on checking her phone. Maybe Zhang Feng would call her.
She was willing to ran back into his arms if he said it was only a joke. She was willing to forgive him if he say that it was all prank.
ShenYi hoped that it was only a dream. It was only her hallucination. She wanted to wake up as soon as possible.
Nonetheless, her phone stayed silent. She was staring at her phone until it drained it's battery.
While in daze she was panicking again.
'What if he's calling right now? Should I go back?' She was getting crazy.
Looking outside the window, raindrops started to fall. She laughed, even the heavens are sympathizing her miserable situation. She really didn't know what do.
Later, the bus stopped. ShenYi didn't know how long her brain froze at that time. The bus driver shouted at her.
"Aren't you coming down? Here's your destination."
ShenYi shook her head. She was trying to get into focus. She stood up and got down of the bus.
She inhaled and exhaled deeply. As she walk towards their street, the phone from her hands were snatched.
She just looked at the man's silhouette running away. She had no energy left to fight with him.
ShenYi hated herself.
'When did I became so weak? When did I became so vulnerable? Urgh, ShenYi, wake up!'
She tidied herself before knocking the door.
Knock!
Knock!
"Mom! I'm sorry. I really missed you. I'm staying here for a vacation." ShenYi hugged her mom.
"Xiao Yi, I thought you would visit us after a week. Come inside, pack your things now!" Cai Sheng was stunned but elated when she saw her daughter.
ShenYi was confused, "Where are you going, mom?"
"We're going to call you first, but since you're here, I'll tell you now. Your dad have a company trip and he was included in the treat! However, if you're going to stay here, we're not around."
"It's okay mom, I can handle myself." ShenYi said.
"Don't oppose me now. We can't be at ease thinking that you're alone here."Cai Sheng insisted.
"How about my plane ticket?" ShenYi just wanted to relax inside her home. She didn't want to join them.
"Don't worry! We have extra ticket here! Boss He already prepared it really for us. He said we could invite one person. Since we doesn't have anyone to invite now, it's for you!"
"Mom, I-"
"Sheng! Who's that? Pack your things now." From inside, Cai HongBai spoke.
"Come on, change now. You still have belongings on your room." Cai Sheng pushed her daughter towards her room.
ShenYi sighed deeply. She couldn't fight with her mother's persistence. Maybe she could also recollect her mind while staying over there. She started to pack her things. After that, she decided to write a letter first. She planned to hand it over to Zhang Feng through her neighbor just in case he tried to find her.
.....
At the airport...
"ShenYi why are you still in a daze? Who are you waiting for?" Cai HongBai asked.
ShenYi shooked her head. She felt she didn't want to go with them anymore and comeback.
"Xiao Yi, are you alright?"
"N-Nothing dad, let's go now." The words she wanted to say didn't came out. She accompanied her father.
'Ai, why I am still waiting for him to show up here? As if he knew where am I now.'
-------
Zhang Feng tried his best to drive faster. Maybe ShenYi was at her parent's house.
After speeding up. He finally reached their home.
Tock!
He tried many times but no one was still answering. He was getting anxious now. He didn't know where he would find her now.
Outside, a middle aged woman who was sweeping their front yard approached him.
"Child, are you looking for ShenYi?"
Zhang Feng bowed and greeted her politely.
"Yes aunty, do you know where she is?"
"Are you Zhang Feng?"
Zhang Feng felt a glimpse of hope. Maybe this aunty would help him.
"Yes aunty." He replied.
"Ai, ShenYi arrived here several hours ago crying! I wonder what happened to her. But afterwards, the whole family left. It seems like their heading off to somewhere."
Zhang Feng became agitated. "Where did they go?"
"Uhm, sorry I have no idea about that. But ShenYi left a letter for you! Wait, I'll get it inside." The woman entered her house.
However, as Zhang Feng was waiting, a group of people came towards him.
"Sir, come with us. Old Master Zhang was calling for you."
"I won't go. Tell the old man I'm not coming." He brushed them off.
Despite of his refusal, the men insisted.
"I'm sorry sir, but we're only following the old man's instructions." They punched Zhang Feng's stomach, enough for him to be weak.
"Aw! H... How d-dare... you...." Zhang Feng could only let the men drag him towards the car.
2/2 I'm going to school!
