Volume 1 Chapter 2 Part1
"This afternoon, a major accident occurred at Taichung private university, Li Dong University of Technology. The heavily injured victim, 陈关 (Chen Guan) is a year two student of said university..."
The evening news was broadcasted in a quiet room.
Yu Yin swiped his tired face as he felt a pressure a.s.saulting him from all direction. Yu sat next to Yu Yin, with his face still stained with dried blood. Seemingly uncaring about the blood on his face, Yu quietly read the book that he placed on his lap, not knowing how terrifying the colors on his body is to others.
Not too long ago, they followed the ambulance to the hospital from the very location that was just reported on the news. On the way, the victim’s body was like a bottle of water pierced with a hole, his blood flowing non-stop. No matter how they tried, the blood would not stop, the worry he felt was suffocating Yu Yin.
This kind of situation would always trigger the memories of the car accident many years ago, and no matter how many times he saw it, he was unable to get used to it.
The news continued to broadcast on the television.
"Alright, now that every news channel is making a huge commotion about the accident, may I ask the two little children that witnessed the accident, who would like to speak first?"
Using the remote controller to switch off the television, the room fell into a deadly silence. A man in casual with a baby face, but possessed a police identification card1, arched an eyebrow at the two children seated before him.
"Second dad, are you talking nonsense?" Giving an uncaring look to the policeman before him, who is acting as if he is interrogating a suspect except that he was lacking a small lamp to shine on their faces just like how it was showed in the movies, Yu Yin, who had experienced a hectic day, just wanted to know if his friend who was still lying in the surgery room was safe! Thus, in an almost rude tone, he added: "Do you think this brat can speak? Ha?"
Squinting his eyes, 虞夏 (Yu Xia) who possessed the exact same baby face as his older brother, gave Yu Yin a cold smile: "You, the kid who eat off us and live off us and even have us as your guardians, better be a little more respectful and obediently cooperate with me and answer my questions!" After he finished speaking, Yu Xia stretched out his hand and unceremoniously slapped Yu Yin on the head.
Yu Yin rolled his eyes but decided that he should be more cooperative since he did eat off him, live off him and even have him as his guardian: "Well... Just now another police officer already came over and did a round of questioning, do we have to repeat this again?" It’s very troublesome eh! It is the same situation so no matter how many people ask about the events, it will not be any different! So why everyone must keep coming over to ask the same questions again and again? So inefficient, if he had known earlier, Yu Yin would have used an MP3 to record whatever he said so that the police officers can indefinitely replay the recording as many times as they want!
From the side, Yu raised his head and briefly looked at the two man before turning back to his book again, as if their conversation has nothing to do with him.
Yu gently flipped a page.
"You know what I want to ask, being cooperative while a police officer is questioning you is the duty of a good citizen. Now speak!" pulling out a small notebook from his pocket, Yu Xia clicked his ball pen and waited for Yu Yin to speak. New novel chapters are published on
What he wanted to ask would not be the same as what the previous officer asked.
Dragging his palm across his face, Yu Yin broke out of his sluggish mentality and slowly opened his mouth: "After Ah Guan turned out of the car park, I saw a leopard cat."
"Leopard cat?" Yu Xia frowned, "Are you very certain it is a leopard cat?" Don’t all cats look alike? Not to mention, leopard cats are very rare nowadays.
"Nonsense, leopard cats and common wild cats are not the same, I don’t have Exophthalmos2, of course, I can tell the difference!" Yu Yin retorted instantly.
"Alright then, you recognized the leopard cat, so where is the cat?"
"Oh right, previously, student Chen’s coma scale is five, now it has raised to six. In addition, while we were carrying out the emergency treatment, he said something weird and we have no idea what it means."
"Something weird?" Yu Xia asked, squinting his eyes suspiciously.
"We don’t know who he is apologizing to, but he kept repeating, ’静 (Jing)’ ’I am sorry’ these four words." The head nurse nodded her head: "He repeated those words for quite a while before he finally stopped. Although, it could also be possible that he was repeating those words unconsciously."
Jing?

Yu Yin felt like he knew something but he couldn’t put a finger on it.
"Ok, thank you." Yu Xia nodded his head towards the head nurse and she returned the gesture before leaving.
Just as the door closed, Yu, who was originally sitting quietly on his own while reading his book, got off the chair and walked over to Yu Xia, gently patting his arm.
"Little Yu? What is it?" Breaking out of his thoughts, Yu Xia looked at the boy who was holding up his book. The book was flipped to a page and the boy pointed to a specific word on the page.
"Home."
"You want to go home?"
Hearing Yu Xia’s question, Yu immediately nodded his head.
Raising his hand, Yu Xia looked at his wrist watch. The time now was already 3 in the morning. Yu Xia finally realized that time pa.s.sed very quickly through the night. "Ah Yin, you bring Little Yu back to shower and eat something first, then have a good sleep. You too, don’t go running off to anywhere else!" It is already rather late, and both of them are still children, Yu Xia thought that he indeed should not let the two children stay at the hospital any longer.
Yu Yin turned to Yu Xia: "My motorcycle is still left in school eh!" He came to the hospital by hitching a ride on the ambulance that brought Ah Guan in, his own beloved motorcycle is still left with the security guard. How is he supposed to bring the brat home? By walking? The way home from here is very far eh!
"Don’t you know how to walk home? You love to run around anyway ah!" Even though that was what he said, Yu Xia still pulled out his wallet and handed Yu Yin two, one thousand dollar notes: "Don’t run off to some other places, if I find out that you ran off again, you better be prepared!"
Taking the two, one thousand dollar notes, Yu Yin huffed: "I know la." Then he looked at the little kid next to him and reluctantly said.
"We are leaving la!"
