Chapter 330 - 331: Burnt Envelope-IV

As Xiao Yun was trying to sleep, her mind was telling her to fall asleep but perhaps it was the nervousness or the thoughts that kept flying on her head, she felt sleeping became harder with the time passes. Her eyelids slightly opened and she peeked to see Wang Li Lei with his eyes reading the book held between his finger in one hand while his other hand was rested on his knees.

All the time, Wang Li Lei stayed patiently beside her, his eyes were kept on the book but his ears was open wide to notice if there are any difference happening in between her sleep. When he had reached the last letter of the page, his finger flipped the next page and his eyes moved toward Xiao Yun who had just fallen asleep. She had been watching him reading the book languidly, his expression was calm and on his handsome face his gaze were kept serious to read the book each words by words.

She didn't know when it start, when she saw him all the thought just seem to fly away and as her eyes felt tired, her chin she had lifted up to be able to look at him swayed and she fell asleep.

Wang Li Lei who saw her finally sleeping, brushed his finger on her forehead and moved away the little hairs that covered her lashes. He swiped his finger on her under lids that was slightly swollen from crying.

It was Xiao Yun's personality of perhaps her stubbornness to not want anyone see her in her weak self, whenever she cries, she would try to hide her face but he didn't let her to do so. Slowly he pulled her out from her shell with gentleness to let her know that there was still him beside her who she could rely on. Someone she could call as her safest place. And it had worked. Seeing her cry made his heart ache but when he thought of how she had learned to rely on him, there was also a pinch of happiness mixed in his emotion.

Today when he had heard that Xiao Yun's fate was to die, there were rage coursing to his veins. An anger raising to his whole head to know that Xiao Yun had to be killed once again. He could still remember clearly the memory of her death he had seen from her, how pained she was and how sad that day he had seen it all happening in his eyes and he could never see her death to happen once again. If there was a way for them to change the future, no matter what he had to pay for, he would make the future when they are together strive from deaths.

"The fate that tell us to be apart, I promise to break them all, Xiao Yun." he vowed beside her ears that didn't reach to her sleep.

On the other side, Xiao Yun felt in her dream she had woken up. She brushed her eyes, and tried to open them by blinking twice to see how her view was blurred, her eyes felt heavy and suddenly she felt a piercing coldness from her neck and face. She tried to breath but when she tried, she felt water rushing into her throat and nose making her hard to breath. Then she felt pain on her scalp, her head had been pulled up from the water and it took her a long time to breath before once again her face was pushed down into ice water.

Where was she? Xiao Yun questioned her mind in panic. When she had pulled out of the water, she tried to take a quick glance to her surrounding but her whole body felt numb and hurt. To open her eyes felt even more hurt and though she hadn't been letting a sound, in the back of her ears she felt as if she could hear a muffled sobbing.

She raised her hand to her head, trying to stop the person who had pulled her hair by gripping to the person's hand but she was much smaller to the person and her body was too painful to move. When the person had pulled her head up and threw her head to the water again, she could feel her consciousness drifted, her body unable to keep up with the lack of air.

"STOP IT!!" someone screamed from the back, she didn't know who it was but when she had heard the voice, her mind quickly rejoice despite the fact someone was still holding the back of her head.

The man was in his thirties, when he saw his son was smothered in the water, he rushed toward him and swatted his wife's hand. Xiao Yun quickly grabbed the man who had saved her as if he was her last line of safety. Looking at his son with his odd shivering and his lips had turned blue in color, the man pulled his son closer, taking him to his arm, he rubbed his head and took off the outer suit he wore to cover the child's body.

"What do you think you are doing to your own son, Sophia?!" hearing the name called by the man, Xiao Yun snapped awake, her eyes were opened and it was just the time she finally realized that it wasn't her who had been pushed to the water but another person. But this time around, she wasn't the spectator but Andy.

She lifted her head, looking up to see Mrs. Sophia. Her eyes were glaring wide, a horrible expression was made on her face when she met her eyes with her. Mrs. Sophia seemed to be in a great shock, when Mr. Cheng has screamed at her, she blinked in surprise. Her eyes first looking at Xiao Yun before she looked down to her hand.

"No... No! I didn't!" Mrs. Sophia yelled looking at her husband before looking toward her son. She kneeled in front of the boy, her hand reaching out to hold the boy but when the boy saw her hand, his whole body flinched as if she had been struck by lightning. He looked at Mrs. Sophia with a look of fear and as Xiao Yun was in the position of the boy, she could fear his fear, anxiety, and his anger when he saw Mrs. Sophia.

Mrs. Sophia who saw the expression he made, retracted her hand into a fist and let her hand slumped down to the side of her knees. "I'm sorry, Andy I'm sorry, please forgive your mother, I'm sorry." said Mrs. Sophia and her words of sorry continued to echo in the small bathroom. The only feeling Andy had when Mrs. Sophia had apologized was nothing but surprise and guilt.
