YuYan felt like her soul is surrounded by a powerful barrier; protecting her, supporting her. The warmth of Xiao FengYun's embrace, added by his dark flame made YuYan feel drowsy, her eyes slowly closing.
Her consciousness starting to fade, making her knees feel soft, until her mind turned blank and felt her body falling into the floor.
When YuYan opened her eyes, she found herself lying on Xiao FengYun's bed but it wasn't him who was sitting next to her. Instead, it was her big brother Mo YuMin.
Blinking her eyes in confusion, she looked around the bedroom, but Xiao FengYun was no where to be seen. YuYan furrowed her brows as she tried to remember what happened.
The last thing she could recall was being in her big brother's arms; the dark flame, indescribable feelings in her soul, falling onto the floor, and finally loosing her consciousness.
But she wonders why would her big brother let her fall on the floor? As far as YuYan can remember, Xiao FengYun would never let her get hurt, but what happened?
There is a strange sensation in her mind, but she can only set it aside. "Where's big brother Yun?" YuYan asked softly as she sits up to face her big brother who just keeps on staring at her without any expression on his face like he usually does.
It took a minute before Mo YuMin spoke. "You don't need to find him." His voice sounded cold, like it has always been. "It's getting late. You should go back to grandfather." he added.
Without waiting for her response, Mo YuMin stood up and turned around. Leaving YuYan alone in the bedroom, he did not look back to her at all.
Watching Mo YuMin leaving her alone without looking back to her while his words sounded like he was pushing her away, YuYan's eyes stung, her heart felt like it was being twisted.
She wanted to voice out her thoughts. 'Big brother, why? Aren't you going to explain anything?'
YuYan didn't mind that Mo YuMin treated her coldly all of a sudden. She knew that it was his normal behavior, but never to her.
Is it because she is no longer a child? Or could it be because she's about to get married and no can longer be his baby? Was it because she chose to be with Zhou Ruegen?
But of course YuYan's heart still felt hurt after being treated like a toy to be won by a stupid trial. Yet Mo YuMin didn't bother explaining his side, not even telling her his thoughts about it.
Hence, much like how she felt with Xiao FengYun, YuYan wanted to complain; scream at him, punch him on his chest, ask him why would he do such things.
YuYan felt hurt badly. It was as if a thousand needles are piercing her heart; squeezing it relentlessly as she watched Mo YuMin act differently from how he used to.
But how could YuYan forget? She had given instructions for her brothers to not to get close to any woman, not even a servant. Yes, it must be the reason behind his sudden change.
Clenching her fist, trying to suppress her anger, YuYan is afraid that she might accidentally use her powers and they might end up fighting each other. Worse, she might kill her own brother.
Although YuYan knew that her brother will never harm her, what about if she lost control due to her anger? Despite her aching heart, she didn't want that to happen.
Tears have began falling on YuYan's pink cheeks, silently sobbing as she softly mumbled. "Are we going to end this way? Is this how everything will start to change?" Her voice is faint.
Feeling downhearted, YuYan cried for a bit then wiped her tears before she finally got out of bed. Looking around, still wondering where Xiao FengYun had gone to.
Nonetheless, after what Mo YuMin told her, YuYan took a deep breath and fixed herself before leaving Xiao FengYun's room and appeared in her bedroom at Mo Yao Wang's mansion.
YuYan: "!!!"
