Capítulo 12: It’s been a long time
Yan Shu opened the right upper drawer of the study table and took out a Small slim black USB Drive. She inserted it on her laptop and a website appeared. She logged into her account for the site before opening the chat page of it.
[Jr. Magus1(On a long break) : Master. Emergency.]
Just as she finished sending out the message her doorbell rang. She came out of the study and went to open the door. As expected her food was delivered. She went back to the study taking along her food. She placed them in the tea table and also shifted her laptop from the study table to the tea table.
[Dark Magus : Thought you died.]
Although Yan Shu was feeling hungry and can hardly suppress the desire to eat the tempting dishes, she had no choice but to restrain for a moment to talk to her master. Cause above all, Dark Magus was important who rarely appears.
[ Jr. Magus1(On a long break) : Long story short, I am not Yan Shu anymore.]
[Dark Magus : ???]
Before Yan Shu can type again her screen turned black for a moment before the appearance of a person appeared on it. The square faced person squinted his brown sharp eyes at Yan Shu.
Yan Shu was slightly startled as it's been a long time since she last saw the snoopy person.
She cleared her throat before speaking, "Long time no see, Master." She paused to take another look at that person before she continued, "You might feel it unbelievable but the thing is my soul transported into this body after the accident."
Hearing this, the person gasped in astonishment not long before his solemn look returned again.
"This is quite unbelievable. I almost thought your account was hacked but it's impossible for anyone except me to breakthrough my website accounts."
Yan Shu didn't think that her Master will one day doubt his own creation one day because of her.
"Master, I need your help with something." She stared impassively at her Master.
"You left without saying anything back then. If not for you putting (on a long break) status I would've almost thought something happened to you. Then you appeared in every screen of every household but never once took the initiative to contact me and now that you have, you are directly asking for help!?" He said dejectedly threwing a scornful look at Yan Shu while adjusting comfortably in his wing back chair.
Yan Shu felt guilty after hearing the complaint. Back then when her mother was alive, she was always alone at home most of the time. She spent her time mostly on internet. One day, when she was just checking out some information for IT staffs out of interest she came across the public hacker forum.
Coincidentally, Dark Magus was also there on that day declaring that he will be giving out free sessions to ten lucky winners of the bingo board put up by himself.
While Yan Shu probed into the forum she chanced upon the bingo board post. Curiously she went through the post comments and learned about Dark Magus. Getting intrigued by the conversation going on in the comment section she played the bingo board for fun without expecting to get anything out of it.
Unbeknownst to her, she was invited to join a chat group on that very night when she realized that she was selected for the session.
Although she was not much interested in learning anything there at first but took it as just another thing to pass her time. As she attended every class of the session , she slowly got attracted to the things that were taught in there.
Six months later , on the last day of the session, the ten students were given a data to decode. Yan Shu came first by decoding the data in the shortest time than others. After then she got the chance to become an official apprentice of Dark Magus. After two years she ranked top among the ten exclusive apprentices of Dark Magus and also gained quite a reputation in the hacking world. She was known as Jr. MAGUS1 and was admired by many. Until three years later, she disappeared suddenly leaving everyone in awe.
"I am thinking to return." She knew how Dark Magus was. He will help her no matter what but he will nag her for this till she or he dies. It's not like she has any other choice now except him.
" Hmm. Don't think this will change anything. Speak what you want?" Dark Magus tried to suppress his happiness as he pulled away his stare from her before speaking and glanced sideways lowering his glasses abit.
"You must have figured out my new identity by now. I want information of Si Junyan and Bai Yan. I am afraid that my accident is related to them somehow." Yan Shu did try to find something of Si Junyan and Bai Yan. But the amount of information she found out was only a tip of the iceberg.
"That's quite unexpected. I thought you wanted to settle down with one of them." Dark Magus did not leave any chance to mock her. After all how can he let go this ungrateful brat so easily.
"If there's nothing more, I am hanging up then. I am not a jobless person unlike someone." He threw a glance at Yan Shu before hanging up.
Yan Shu was used to his attitude anyway. To everyone he might be cold and aloof and a legendary figure worshipped by the tech lovers and many more but only his apprentices knew how childish their Master was.
She shut down her laptop when she gaped suddenly seeing something.
'OH, crap!! My food!!'
She did not know her master will call her suddenly to confirm her identity leading her too forget about her food.
[The dishes : We were ignored..sob sob]
She was too lazy to heat them up so ended up eating the cold food.
By the time when she was done eating it was already 7pm. She checked her phone and found that Old Master Su had called her twice. She forgot to revert her phone back from silent mode after school so she didn't hear the ring. She lazily cleared up the table and changed back to a casual outfit to return to Su Villa.
...
Si Junyan left the office early today. As instructed assistant Hu has informed him of Su Mo Jiaran's arrival at Yan Shu's home.
When he arrived infront of his house , he saw the lights of Yan Shu's home were on. He didn't think the person will still be there so late.
After pondering for a while he walked up to the door of Yan Shu's home. He was still deciding where to ring the doorbell or not when the door suddenly opened.
A petite figure appeared after the door was opened from inside.
Yan Shu was startled to see Si Junyan here. She raised her eyebrows and gazed sharply at the person standing outside her door.
"Do you need something?" Seeing the latter having no intention to talk anytime soon Yan Shu decided to break the silence first.
"Ahem.. Nothing. I saw the lights on so came to say hi to my neighbor but it turned out to be you." Si Junyan replied plainly.
'He did not even care to check out his neighbors in the last two years and now he suddenly wants to say hi!? Is he joking?' Yan Shu was certain he was playing dumb. How can he not know that it was Yan Shu's home. She was now even more suspicious of him.
"One of my relatives used to live here but she is currently having something going on and had to move out so asked me to keep a watch over her house." Yan Shu decided to play along. She wanted to see how long can he play dumb infront of him.
"I see." Si Junyan was already suspicious of her since the day she saw her crying infront of Yan Shu's bed. He did not pursue the matter further. Above all, he can just search for the answers by himself.
"So, now that you are done saying hi can you move from the way? I need to go out."
"Are you heading back home? Do you need a ride?"
Yan Shu was immediately reminded of the last time he drove her back home. Her cheeks blushed thinking about the kiss of that night.
Si Junyan was not sure why she was suddenly looking like a tomato so he asked, "Are you okay? Let's go, I will drive you home. I don't want grandpa Su to worry all the time."
Seeing the girl having no intention to move he reached out to grab her wrist and started walking towards his car while pulling her with him.
Yan Shu was still in a daze when she felt like being pulled. She came back to her senses and saw that she was now infront of his.
Si Junyan opened the passenger seat door and indicated her to enter with his eyes.
Yan Shu hesitated for a while before getting into the car. She will have to wait for another half an hour for the cab if she doesn't accept his ride now.
Si Junyan walked on the other side before getting into the front seat and drove off.
'I must not sleep today. I need to be on guard tonight. It's only a 20 minutes ride. I can do it.' Yan Shu kept murmuring to herself once the car started.
