章節 2: Grim Reaper
As the night seems to drag on for An Jia, she finished unpacking her belongings and took another good look at the room designed by her beloved aunt.
It was when An Jia was getting ready to wash up when she realize that she did not pack any of her hygiene from her house. In a flash she remembers that earlier the chauffeur has passed a 24-hour convenient store down the hill. The walk probably will take 30 minutes there and back. An Jia glance at the ticking clock hanging on the wall and it reads: 9:54 pm. With a thought she grabs her light-knitted sweater and wallet and head out.
An Jia wanted to tell her aunt and uncle where she was going but on the second thought she did not. Aunt An Suyan and Uncle Gu Rongguang had already exhausted themselves the whole day. So, without letting anyone know, she approaches to the convenient store.
After grabbing all that she needed, she heads up to the cash register to ring the items. An Jia thank the short elderly lady and walk out the store. Instead of going back the way she came from, An Jia decides to take a detour to ease her mind. Coming to the big city was a huge step because all her life she had lived in the country side. Anyone who see her would call her the country pumpkin. Everything in the city was different; even the air she breathe was different.
As she approaches closer to her aunt and uncle's neighborhood, she encountered two strangers who blocked her path, "Why, who do we have here?" The taller man said.
"Aren't we lucky tonight?"
As they tried to grab An Jia's arm, she pulled away with all her might. "I don't want trouble so please leave me alone."
An Jia brush pass the two men. The men give out a good laugh before they continued to follow her. An Jia did not go far until the taller man blocked her path.
"Come on lady, we just want to have some fun."
Before An Jia could find a way out, the shorter guy behind her grabs hold of her. An Jia's heart starts to pound, she was terrified. She was very afraid. The tighter both men held her, the more she struggles to break free yet, she was not strong enough.
The tears streaming down her face, she couldn't believe what was happening. Everything was staring to blur, she was going out of breath. Suddenly her body stiffen, it felt like she was paralyzed. They were going to rip her apart.
"P-please… let me go." Her cries were getting louder and louder. But who was there to help her? All sorts of thoughts came to her, why didn't she tell her aunt and uncle? If she did, they would have come along? Why didn't she ask Gu Liang? Why didn't she ask someone?
"Didn't she ask you to let go?" A voice sounded nearby which draws the three's attention. Although it was only seven words, it sounds so cold and powerful.
"Who are you? Go mind your own business." The shorter man tries to brush the man off.
An Jia stares at the man, pleading for his help with her eyes. In her heart, he was her savior; her knight in shining armor. The man who was about 190 meters tall walks out from the shadow. He was dressed in a white dress shirt and slim black pant. The first two buttons were unbutton showing his muscular chest. Without doubt, An Jia knew he must work-out a lot. Although she views him as beautiful, his skin pale as snow yet the aura around him felt so dangerous. He was like the grim reaper making his rounds taking the unwanted soul away.
Before An Jia could back to reality, she witness the two men who was trying to harass her stumbling to the ground. An Jia's savior was untouched; he was like a martial art master which An Jia was in awe.
Several minutes after the fight broke out, the two men picked themselves up and ran away. An Jia watches as her savior brushes the side of his shirt. She was in a trance looking into his eyes, taking a closer look at him before realizing what he was staring at. Her shirt was torn and the strap of her bra was showing. An Jia quickly covers herself with her arms.
It was not even a second after their eyes met that he turns around and walks away quietly. As she watches him get inside the driver seat of the black Bentley, she came to a realization that she did not properly thank him for helping her. An Jia was going to chase after him but he had already drove off into the distance. She quickly grabs her bag of items she just bought and power walk back to her aunt and uncle's house. She was afraid one second shorter and those awful men will be back to haunt her.
Around a couple years, she carelessly bumps into a person. Frighten that it was those two men earlier, she life her head to see it was only Gu Liang. He was about to say something but An Jia walk pass him and towards the house.
Fifteen minutes earlier. Gu Liang was feeling thirsty so he decides to head downstairs to grab a cup of water. Passing through the extra room that is now An Jia's; he saw that the door was ajar. Peeking inside he finds it vacant. He was wondering where did she go. Since An Jia was nearby when the incident happen, he loud scream enters Gu Liang's ear. The familiar voice forced Gu Liang to go out and take a look. As he roams steadily towards the commotion, An Jia bumps into him lightly.
He sees her situation but before he could voice out, she did not give him the chance to ask what happen when she ignore him and walks away. Gu Liang knitted his brows and follows shortly after.
An Jia reaches the Gu residence and rushes to her room for a change of clothes. She lay on the bed but her mind was wondering countlessly. It was night and the room became more silent. Every little noise could be heard. An Jia hears Gu Liang shut the front door. She heard when he opens the refrigerator, she heard his light steps up the stairs, she even hears his steps slowly stop in front of her room. She heard the soft knocks on the door but chooses to ignore and not reply to it. After about a few knocks, Gu Liang gives up and enter his own room.
After hearing Gu Liang closes his door, that was when An Jia silently sob in the dark. She just wanted to go back home. She just wants her parent back. She wished all that had happened was all just a dream. An Jia's soft cries filled the room and before long she drifts off to sleep.
