Chapter 265 - 265: Puzzle Pieces

Thunder and rains echoed at the night, Xiao Yun had lost her focus wholly on the man that she didn't realized since when did the rain began or when did it ended. Wang Li Lei took a robe made of a soft silk material and went back to the bed to dressed her body before bringing her head to rest underneath his arm. He wrapped his arm, facing her face he stared at her under the yellow lamp of that stood beside her bed.

In a few days their engagement would finally be announced to the public. He had waited for the day as much as he anticipated the day of their marriage that wouldn't be too long after their engagement. But before their marriage for the person of their past there was still debt left unpaid and as a man of his word he will repay them all with full interest. But before Choi Yeon Jun there's still Lin Chang Lu who he has to put an end to. Knowing that Xiao Yun already had her own plan, doing a few thing in the back of the scene wouldn't disrupt her plan. The thoughts slowly grew hazy, he nuzzled his face toward her letting the sleep sinking him to the sleep.

Sun sparkled after the harsh rain last night. As though clearing the dirty air when the next morning came after the air become fresh. Drops of water fell at a green leaf slowly moving to the tip of the leaf. Making it heavier before it fell. Xiao Yun wake up from her sleep. The strands of her black hair scattered on the white pillow. Some of it dally in between Wang Li Lei's right hand which she slept on. Still drowsy, she moved his hand gently and sat on the bed. Looking down she found herself already dressed on her night gown and the memory of last night rushes to her mind. Her ears reddened to the tips of her ears.

She moved her hand walking softly to the other side of the bed when she stopped and give a peck to his forehead. "Good morning." She greeted regardless whether he was awake or not and stepped down from the bed when she recalled something. Taking a little stop at his study desk she found the blue gem crinkling with the sunlight that went through the curtain and looked at it in confusion. She never doubted Wang Li Lei and will never. The fact that even though they had been sleeping in the same room with the blue gem could should have triggered the power of the gem yet it didn't. She had no memory of dreaming the past last night. Perhaps there was a condition for activating the blue gem's power? But what? She thought and thought but could not find any answer and decided to ask Wang Li Lei when he woke up later.

After the light shower she, she walked out of her room to be greeted by Yue. "Good morning, young lady."

"Good morning to you too, Yue." She wished. "Where is Li Lei?"

"The master?" Yue seemed confused inclining her head to the side. "I apologize if this sounds rude, my lady but since last night the master was with you so I do not know his state right now."

Hearing her word she could feel her cheeks steaming red. "That isn't what I meant. Hasn't he woke up yet?"

"I apologize, I do not know." Yue steadfastly replied.

Then perhaps he was still sleeping? Yue followed her in front of his room and waited as she entered his room. Pushing the door knob she found the bed was empty and decided to look around. "Good morning." Wang Li Lei called from behind. His hair was still a little wet after the light shower he took. Cupping her cheeks, he bent his back and kissed her lips lightly.

"Did you sleep well?" It was her turn to ask.

"Yes," his gaze shifted to the blue gem knowing well what Xiao Yun was thinking.

"Do you think it doesn't work anymore?" She followed him to the desk taking the blue gem which was laying idle on the desk. "It was supposed to work." She whispered. "Have you test the power again after that night?" She saw him shaking his head.

"If it doesn't work when the two of us are together it would mean this only work to me or perhaps to the people who doesn't have the memory of the past." He concluded and she agreed. It was the closest reasoning the could come to arrive with the bits of informations they receive. "Few days ago I searched the sender of the gem."

"Did you find a lead?"

"I should have." He trailed making her wondered what he meant he continued. "The gem costs millions of dollars and it should leave traces if someone bought it. Even if they did buy it decades ago. However this one not only does it have no single transaction trace it also doesn't have a maker's carve."

"Maker's carve?" Xiao Yun inquired.

"It means the gem's artisans' carve. They often made it as something similar to a signature for a painter." Xiao Yun hummed, floating to her deep ponder. "It seems that this anonymous sender is very careful."

"Yes." Wang Li Lei agreed. Xiao Yun shifted her gaze away to the gem. Her silence stayed at the room as her eyes dozed. If the gem does hold a supernatural power of bringing back other's past memories then who could have sent it? Liu Yan Hui claimed there were only two people other than her. Either Choi Yeon Jun or Choi Kang So. This questioned stayed at her mind not because she was guessing who but because she felt that it wasn't the two. Although it's impossible she believe it was another person.

"Li Lei, can we meet Mr. Liu?" This was the faster way to find an answer over their questions.

"Liu Yan Hui?" He asked for confirmation and saw her nod. "Why?" his question slipped. Xiao Yun was told by the mysterious man not to speak a single word of what he had said but this involved the two of them. Tugging his sleeve she spoke. "I don't think your mentor is a human, he, he knows what happened to me in the past." He words were the simplest explanation she could give.

Wang Li Lei drew his brows to the middle. "He is also a person from the future you mean?" Liu Yan Hui too? There were too many people who remembered the past then why he didn't?

He saw Xiao Yun shaking her head softly. "I don't know, he's just different. I don't think he's a person from the future. I can't put my finger in it but he's just different."

"I will make an appointment with him." He said rubbing her forehead with his thumbs and trailed to her under eyelid. "You should rest today at home."

"Don't worry, I'm not that tired." She felt his lips kissing her and her mind slowly taken away by his soothing kiss. Parting his lips he wiped her lower lips with his fingers and whispered. "I insists. You can do your work at home after yesterday you must be tired."
