Chapter 202 202; Ming Xie, Tell Me; Who Am I To You?
" Lin Wei, tell me; am I really that bad in your eyes that you don't even want to see me?" He inquired as he felt sad and heartbroken.
He didn't mind waiting but she was distancing herself from him, he could give her the space she needed, offer her help if he could but why does she seem to feel like my presence is a calamity bringing her misfortunes.
"No! You are a good and a kind person, we don't belong to the same world, I don't want you to wait for ages and gain nothing." She spoke out as her voice had turned rough due to the breeze.
"Wei Wei, what I know is that we all belong to the sand race and that's we are all humans, I already said I will wait for you no matter how long it takes." Bai Chang responded as he laid down beside her.
" Do you think it's worth it? I belong to the darkness while you belong to the light, we are walking down in different and our paths are parallel to each other." She tried explaining herself as she closed her eyes to enjoy the breeze and calm night.
"I don't mind waiting in the end of the tunnel of your path for eternity, for I know every path has its own end, the important thing is; so long as you don't push me away, I will always be your shadow." He responded as he looked at her thinned cheeks.
He could tell she was having a rough time and also burdened with alot of responsibilities.
"What else can I say! I hope you never regret your decisions." She sighed lightly, he was so stubborn and there was nothing she could do.
" Thank you Wei Wei.. I won't disappoint you." Deep down he was still worriedly she would bring this top up again.
"All right promise me that we will never talk about this topic again, we will let time decide." He looked at her calm self and tranquility.
" Sure, I promise." She responded as she got lost in her own thoughts while he inwardly cheered.
He had just come over to see if she has calmed down but hadn't expected it to be so fruitful.
"You haven't recovered, you need to go back." She suggested as she knew he was internally injured when he had tried transferring the healing magic into her meridians.
"Let me accompany you for a short while then I will return back." He responded as he looked at the sky.
" Wei Wei, don't you think that this sky is beautiful?"
"Yes, it's indeed beautiful! But tommorow it will be cloudy and the following day it will be stormy, nothing stays permanent forever. Everything has it's season and time." She opened her eyes and looked at the sky.
She stretched her hand out and caught the Firefly in her palm before releasing it.
"But it's still beautiful at the moment, shouldn't you enjoy those happy fleeting moments no matter how short they are?" He curiously inquired.
"Fleeting moments aren't that memorable anymore." She retorted back.
" Do you know how long a mayfly lives after evolving from an egg to a nymph form under the waters for ages into an adult mayfly and it floats up on the waters and dies after twenty four hours?" He looked at her.
" They might be happy with that small achievements but I won't be able to, soon karma might be catching up to me." She frowned lightly as she massaged the tattoo.
" You need to go back." She hopped off the roof top and went back into her room.
Bai Chang looked at her vanishing figure and just shook his head, he knew it couldn't be easy to convince her, it will take time and he has to be patient.
He also vanished away as he returned back to his realm to recuperate.
Laying down on the bed she thought about her brothers that she was missing dearly and her missing mom.
Shortly after she slept off from exhaustion as her breath was even.
Scorpion couldn't sleep much so he woke up and walked into the training grounds as he began training.
It was already three am in the morning, Eagle also joined him.
"Eehh.. Scorpion, why aren't you sleeping at this time of the hour." He looked at him worriedly.
" I don't know but of late I have been experiencing insomnia and nightmares." His expression darkened as he began running on the treadmill.
" Mnnn.. me too I'm experiencing nightmares, I dreamt of Viper." He spoke out worriedly.
" Viper, viper.. all right, don't think too much into it." He responded as he increased the speed.
Eagle began with lifting weights as he began warming up.
Ming Xie walked in and was surprised to see them working out.
She halted in her steps and thought of going back before they could notice her.
Suddenly Scorpion turned around and they came face to face, he had already noticed she wasn't alright since the day they walked out on them.
He walked forward as he approached her and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
"Ming Xie.." he gently called her while she struggled to escape his arms.
"Don't be stubborn anymore, everyone makes mistakes but it's about honoring your mistakes and apologize that matters." He gently soothed her back.
He didn't mind apologizing but it could be a terrible habit if he has to apologize even when he hasn't committed any mistakes.
"Do you think I was in the wrong?" She inquired as she tried calming down.
" Yes you were, we had talked about it, it was simple to say you don't want us to accompany you, but why all the secrecy? Don't you think your heart will get overburdened?" He gently chastised her.
She began struggling, "I didn't do anything wrong." Could she really admit her mistakes, or did she have the guts to risk this newly budding relationship.
"Ming Xie, tell me; who am I to you?" He curiously inquired, maybe this was where the problem was, who was he to her.
