Lin Qian broke into a happy smile, "Gongzhu thank you." She then closed her eyes with a happy smile on her face. Li Bai Xue held her body close to her. She didn't let go of her. Lin Qian had drifted off into a deep dream.
This dream was when she was little. It was a long time ago yet such a dream must mean something right?
***
A small girl was running around a small house while she carried a small basket. She was dress in rags, but she was really happy. "Mother!"She shouted.
An elder lady with barely noticeable wrinkles on her face smile right away when she saw Lin Qian. "Qian Qian! What did you find for Mother?"
Lin Qian held up the small basket in her hand. "Mother I found some mushroom! We can make soup with it," Lin Qian exclaim happily.
Mrs. Lin patted her daughter's head," Qian Qian is such a good girl to pick mushroom from the garden."
Lin Qian smile as she was happy with the compliment she got. Just then a heavy footstep was heard. Lin Qian then ran to that person. "Father! Mother praised me as a good girl. Praise me as well! Praise me!"
Mr. Lin chuckles at his daughter's behavior. He picks her up, and smiled at her, "Of course! Qian Qian is a good girl and will always be a good girl."
Lin Qian's smile grew bigger. She clings onto her father and refused to let go until dinner time. She then explained how her day was in the backyard of their house. Her mother and father would laugh from time to time. She was really happy hearing them laugh.
However, that happiness didn't last long. When Lin Qian turns five years old her mother dies from an unknown disease. Her father started to drink, and he was kicked out of his job. He couldn't find any work because no one wanted him as a drunken to work with them. So he started to gamble his life.
He lost everything within a year. Her mother's money, jewelry, and many things to keep her in their memory were gone. Even their house was taken from them. They were living on the street. Lin Qian who used to have friends became a lonely girl. Every time she sees other families get along she can't help but feel envious.
Lin Qian was so tried that she just wanted to leave, however, she still wanted to stay with her father. Then one day when she just turns seven-year-old her father suddenly told her that he was sorry. Then she was taken away by a bunch of people. She tried to fight, but they were too strong. She got mad at her father and started to shout at him for how bad he was as a father.
He didn't dare look at her in the face and he says, "Don't ever forgive me."
Lin Qian couldn't stay mad at her father, and could only cry as these people took her away. They told her to a huge house. She had never seen anything so grand before. It was truly a sight to behold. However, she was thrown into a small room with a bunch of other kids around the same age as her.
Some were even more skinny then her that their bones were all that could be seen. She scared by the sight in front of her. She drops down and hugs herself. She couldn't help but think back to what her father did to her. Why didn't he stop them? Why didn't he try to protect her? Why didn't he do anything!?
She wanted to weep, but there were people here so she didn't weep. She was so hungry that she could pass out at any moment. A small girl had some dry bread and gave it to her. Although it was hard and dry it was still edible so she ate it slowly. She then became in debt to that young girl. Her name was Xiao Ji. They had become friends in that harsh environment.
She then later found out all the questions to her answer. Her father had sold her to get him out of his debt. She wanted to hate him, but she just couldn't. She couldn't hate him at all.
Her life in the huge mansion as a servant was bad. Since she was still a little kid, the head maid would treat them badly. Even the older sisters bully them however, Lin Qian wasn't one to be bully so she always stood up to them other than the head maid. Since the older sister was more experienced than her they would just beat her up, and lock her away to scared her.
She was indeed scared, but she wouldn't just back down because of that. She couldn't get along with anyone because she was a person who didn't speak much so people thought she was nothing but a cold and mean person. Her only friend was Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji was a really cute and nice girl so she got along well with everyone. Lin Qian then got mad one day because these group of people bullied Xiao Ji. Their leader was only one year older than Lin Qian. The servant brought them to the orchard, outside the mansion, to pick fruits. Lin Qian thought it was the perfect time to talk some senses into the boys.
So she went over with some girls who hated the boys. He was Wang Hao Han. He didn't have red hair, but black hair. His eyes weren't red but brown. He was quite big for a ten-year-old. His size scared her, but that doesn't mean she would just back down.
She was angered by his words, and she was quite childish and stubborn back then so she grabs a rotten plum that was on the ground. They were in the orchard filled with fruits everywhere. She just happens to be under a plum tree. Wang Hao Han was fuming in anger.
He pointed his finger at her, "You dare! You the one who started it first!" He picks up a bad apple and threw it at her.
Lin Qian didn't see that coming, but she was able to dodge the last minute. She continues to pick the plum and throw it at him. He did the same. As the little girls and boy thought they better win this fight or else their pride would be lost. The girls threw the plums while the boys threw the apples.
The head maid saw this and started to scold them. In the end, the one who won was the head maid. Lin Qian and Wang Hao Han were scolded and beat up since they start the fight. The other was just scold, and they wouldn't get dinner tonight. Lin Qian and Wang Hao Han glared at each other before looking away.
