Chapter 500 - 510: Unforgettable Place-II

Li Xiao Chen blinked; once and twice to confirm this was the voice of the woman who was kidnapped with him. "You were awake?"

"The entire time," Naomi said with a click of her tongue, "That f.u.c.k.i.n.g son of a bitch dared to press his lips to my shoulders. Did his mother had him in a f.u.c.k.i.n.g pig pen? He smelled like a rotting corpse for f.u.c.k's sake!" 

For sure Li Xiao Chen knew it was not him who had been cursed but he can't help to feel assaulted by the words Naomi said. 

He almost forgot what he wanted to say and come with his first sentence, "I am Li Xiao Chen." 

"Is this the best time for you to introduce yourself?! Shithead!" Naomi rolled her eyes in response. Li Xiao Chen wondered why this woman was whispering when her words screamed foulness every second. 

Feeling upset he was on the receiving end of curses he knew he doesn't deserve of, Li Xiao Chen said, "I thought that would calm you down from sending filthy words every second."

"Filthy? Then can you ask me to say prim and proper words in this situation?!"

"I was to ask you how can you scream that much foul words in this situation," Li Xiao Chen answered and heard the woman scoff in response. "Why are you kidnapped?" He then asked with curiosity.

"Do you have fingers?" Naomi instead questioned him and the thought of being fingerless cause goosebumps to crawl on his skin. Did someone cut his fingers while he was asleep?! 

Immediately he grasp his fingers, flexing the muscle of his fingers to breath in relief, "It seems I have them intact. Did they slice your fingers?" He asked in concern and pity only to hear the woman huffed. 

"I guess there are still people as naive as you. Did you think I questioned you because I know your finger had been cut? Right now I am telling you to help me and untie the rope on my hand!" 

How bothersome, thought Li Xiao Chen. Never had he heard a woman with not only a disagreeable mouth but also action.

He stayed calm, thinking like an a.d.u.l.t which might be better as it appears that he had been kidnapped along with a young girl of small minded head. 

Yes, stay calm...

"Can you hurry up?! You are not some kidnapped princess, in a romance book you must be able to at least untie a knot, can't you?!"

"God! I know, quiet okay?! Your words are distracting me," Li Xiao Chen spoke while trying to hush his voice. He tried to grasp whatever was tied with him. If going by the woman's words, they had been tied back to back which mean her hands and his would be in a close distance. 

He touched something that felt warmth, confirming it was a hand then climbing his fingers with a great hurdle to grasp the rope that's as tied on the woman's wrist.

"Now will you tell me who you are? It would also be helpful if you can tell me why we are here and where we are."

"Genius," chuckled Naomi satirically, "I must be one of the kidnappers for you to ever think I could know where we are. For your notice, I also wake up around the time you woke up. Not a good actor are you? If the kidnappers were at least a half keener like me, they would have noticed your poor act—"

"Yes, yes, yes," Li Xiao Chen interrupted. Know what? This woman is even nosier than a thunder in a storm and chipper than a talking parrot! Parrot learn words that their master teach them which could be adorable, but all this woman said was nothing but words that could snap your anger. "Name?" He asked again, untying her rope. "You are not going to die just because you tell me your name, you know."

"Naomi," she said after a while, "Akasaka Naomi."

"Took Heaven to have your name," commented Li Xiao Chen still upset he head been called shit, "A Japanese. Reason for kidnapped?" 

"I guess your brother doesn't tell you anything," Naomi huffed again, this girl surely love huffing thought Li Xiao Chen.

He pursed his lips. His guess seem to be right on mark that this situation involve his brother. A situation this dangerous... "My brother tend to keep things on his own, his own secret. I for one aren't a person who would pry unless allowed to."

"Sounded to me like you are not interested in what he is doing," Naomi commented again, her words begin to irritate Li Xiao Chen more every second she opened her lips.

"I guess your sibling tell you everything which why you don't understand my position. It took me three years to have my brother speak about the dinner he has, and it took me another year to learn the reason was not because he couldn't and he didn't want to but because he wasn't sure how to speak with me as an older brother," Li Xiao Chen said, anger sparking as this woman spoke as if she knew everything.

"Well, it took me eleven years to get close to her!" Naomi answered in response, she was feeling stifled for being tied with this man, and was very angry that she had been kidnapped. "I thought you were born in a good environment, Second young master Li."

Li Xiao Chen frowned that this woman whose name was Naomi knew him. 

"What good in the surface never been good in the inside either. You can count a few objects that are pretty would still be pretty when you cut in half and looked inside them," Li Xiao Chen answered, "What is your situation with... your older sister?"

Naomi didn't want to give in too many information but then speak, "We weren't blood related only a half of us were. She was born from my father's first wife."

"And you are the second wife's daughter," Li Xiao Chen assessed, hearing Naomi hummed in confirmation. 

"One would think the children of the first and the second wife would never be on a term and it might be correct but when two people faced the same situation and hurdle, they would instead become close friend. That was what happened to us. My sister, she was born stronger than her twin brother. Not only were they born as twins, they were also born prematurely. Everyone was disappointed. Disappointed because it was the male one that faced the side effect of being born earlier than they were supposed to."

Li Xiao Chen could hear the protectiveness and anger which she held not on er behalf, something he used to do in the past when speaking about his brother. 

"As they need the male one to rule the family, they forced the girl to live as a woman, nothing in her life had been enjoyable. When we met, I first thought of her not as a human but a doll because she was as lifeless as them."

"Not a good impression," Li Xiao Chen remarked. 

"She lived on other's life until one day the male twin finally become better by then she was already in the age of seventeen. You know, although her twin older brother was weaker than her, he was a devil in a human's skin. He was so vile and wicked, that I can't never call him a human."

Li Xiao Chen didn't understand where the disgust came and he can't even but ask, "A devil?"

"You must think I am exaggerating, aren't you? Well let me tell you this then. On the day before he took back his position from my sister, he killed the male caretaker who had been his friend, for the sole reason because he wished to have a reminder of that day because he was about to reclaim what he wanted. All the blame was then pushed to my sister because that man killed him while still living as her."
