Chapter 34 - ✧ 33 ✧

"Come on, let's go." Xiao Mei said as she turned to look in a different direction and the next thing she noticed was listening to Doctor Gmeis curse.

"Dang that kid!" Doctor Gmeis touch the girls' shoulder , and got smacked by the girl while using the back of her hand before sprinting off to were Xiao Mei Zhi was looking.

"Come back!" Xiao Mei Zhi was about to chase the girl however, she thought of another way to locate her.

"Let's go to the building now so we can catch up to where she is," Doctor Gmeis bobbed her head as they rush to the building.

With a good timing as Doctor Gmeis and Xiao Mei Zhi got inside the building they unexpectedly came across the caretakers who knew the girl.

"That kid again. . she does run away when some couple wants to adopt her." The current guardian that was assigned for the girl told Xiao Mei Zhi.

Then another caretaker ask while looking back and forth at Doctor Gmeis and Xiao Mei Zhi, "Did any of you mentioned about adopting her?" With no secrets, Xiao Mei Zhi explained, "Yes. I want to adopt her."

Doctor Gmeis defended Xiao Mei Zhis phrase quickly to help her encounter less problem , "She meant Doctor Frei wants to adopt that child. But we must find her location."

"Blessed Doctor Freis kindness and you must not worry much, we have hidden cameras all over the place." The guardian of the girl calmly notified them.

"Good that this place have cameras. Let's go to the technical room," Xiao Mei Zhi instructed Doctor Gmeis without waiting for her reaction, she quickly head of.

Doctor Gmeis was hesitant to resign from the caretakers and so she told them in behalf of Xiao Mei Zhi, "Sorry. But we have to go now."

As Xiao Mei Zhi entered at the technical room she clenched her fists. That kid. She does not want to be doing all of this just to make the recovery. She was also sure that the girl does not want to get adopted by the time they found her. Though she could tell that the girl was just trying hard to be a cold, stubborn one just like her. A mirror to herself but in a minor version. .Now that she seems to think about adopting, Doctor Frei was more suited to accept that girl than her. It seems necessary that she needed Doctor Freis guidance on that girl. Also, she felt that Doctor Gmeis was defending her from the caretakers. She just bluntly answered back to them without even understanding the situation at that time.

"How may I help you, Miss?" The technician greeted Xiao Mei Zhi. She looked at the name badge on its uniform, "Bai Biao." She whispered before calling the technician, "Mister Biao, I am trying to find--"

"How may I help you, Miss?" The technician greeted Xiao Mei Zhi. She looked at the name badge on its uniform, "Bai Biao." She whispered before calling the technician, "Mister Biao, I am trying to find--"

"She is on the west side. Here, I will let you have a look." Mister Biao who's name was pure live up to its meaning. Even if it sounded like a girl, his parents have chosen a right word also his quitted undercut says a lot about his age in between 21 to 25.

According to the surveillance coordinates in the orphanage that Xiao Mei Zhi was looking, the girl should be approaching the destination where it was off limits.

"She is going for it," Xiao Mei Zhi was staring concentratedly as she said it, while she was standing near the right side of Bai Biao. She slightly squatted her body causing her left cheek to go near at Bai Biaos face.

Bai Biao gradually laid his buttocks to the swivel chairs back support, flattening his hands on the faint red desk. Xiao Mei Zhi was close enough that Bai Biao could smell her unique scent. He was holding his gaze at the computer screen that was reflecting on his chestnut eyes, ignoring the fact that Xiao Mei Zhi was there. In addition, Bai Biaos' short, thin lash goes well on his monolid eyes while it slightly twitched.

"Where is the zoom button?" Xiao Mei Zhi asked, however, it was a wrong move on Bai Biaos side. He turned back to face Xiao Mei Zhi. With that action their face was close enough with each other. It only has a distance in between a grain of rice.

Xiao Mei Zhi and Bai Biao was both waiting tensely to look away from each other before regaining back the calmness they wanted themselves to feel.

Xiao Mei Zhi did the first motion. She turned back to the computer and that made Bai Biao hurriedly click the zoom button before he excused himself, "I will be right back."

"Go ahead." Bai Biao heard a shrug in Xiao Mei Zhis voice. "I can handle this by myself."

"Alright then, good luck." Bai Biao stepped out of the technical area, with his frozen dark brown eyes.

When the sight of Bai Biao was completely gone, Doctor Gmeis commented , "Actually, that was not a pretty bad scenario. I like what I was seeing even if only lasted for a minute."

Xiao Mei Zhi presently flat out did not give a damn if anyone else repeat what Doctor Gmeis just said. She could not even curse out the best of 'Takoyaki' at the instant. And that was not supposed to be damned hard for her to do anything about it.

She glanced at Doctor Gmeis who was tilting her back at the side jamb of the technicians door. "What should we do to that kid?"

Doctor Gmeis was more than aware of the look of narrow-eyed suspicion that Xiao Mei Zhi shot at her as she pushed the swivel chair and inserted under the desk in its proper place.

"I can deal with her later, but for now. . I have to convince her to come back." Xiao Mei Zhi memorized the whole territory of the orphanage entailing the little paths that leads to somewhere else. It was off-limits.

If only she knew what demons she was fighting inside of her.

"Really?" Doctor Gmeis proudly asked for assurance of what was running through Xiao Mei Zhis head.

"How ironic for you to decide like this tiny cactus. You were 'I do not want to live anymore' from 'I want to adopt that kid'. A good stepping stone to start changing."

Then an awareness of certain panic began to fill Xiao Mei Zhi, tightening her throat and threatening to seize her ability to speak.. She could not be frightened by what Doctor Gmeis meant.
