Chapter 92 - 92. Meiyun's Past III

Third person POV

Weisheng: " Why?"

Meiyun: " I want to protect Young Miss with all of my power but I know this isn't enough. You know it by yourself, Young Miss will rush to our side to save us if we are in pinch and I don't want that."

Weisheng stared at the empty cup in his hand, he knew what Meiyun meant and that's what worries him too. Shortly after, he looked up to Meiyun and made a few hand gestures. Meiyun immediately puked blood but she didn't bother to wipe her mouth nor stop the blood from coming out from her nose and mouth. She kneeled to Weisheng and wiped the blood with her handkerchief.

Weisheng: " Only use that power when it is urgent. I will immediately appear there."

(A/N: if Meiyun use Weisheng's power, he can immediately appear at her location. More or less like a portal door.)

Meiyun: " Yes, General Sheng. And please don't tell Young Miss and my sister about this."

Weisheng: " En."

After she wiped off all of the blood, she removed the magic barrier and walked out from the room. The moment Meiyun opened the door, Qiyi and Qier immediately unsheathed their sword. Meiyun halted as two swords pointed towards her neck. She looked at them with a sad smile, Qiyi's hands flinched when he saw that sad smile for the second time. He looked closely at her face and noticed that her lips were as pale as paper and there was a blood stain on her inner lip.

Weisheng: " Let her go."

A voice sounded out from inside, they unsummoned their sword and gave way to Meiyun. Meiyun bowed to them and continue to walk back to her room. Qiyi watched her small figure slowly disappear, he felt like he had made a huge mistake but he didn't know what was it.

As soon as Meiyun entered her bed room, she immediately collapsed to the ground. She punched her chest, hoping it could make her heart feel better. Her tears dripped on the floor as she bit her lips so no one could her crying. After a few minutes of crying, she wiped her tears off and fixed her appearance before she went to Hong er's room.

Meiyun suddenly appeared beside Huayun and smiled brightly like how she usually did. Meiyun hugged Huayun and acted like a spoiled child while Huayun pushes her face away but in a playful way. Huayun looked at the cheerful Meiyun and sighed.

Huayun: ' Maybe I'm worrying too much.'

Hong er woke up like usual and went to take a stroll around the house with Meiyun and Huayun following behind her. Then they went to the kitchen because Hong er wanted to cook something for Weisheng as her gratitude for carrying her from the top of mountain all the way to her bedroom. She happily made some wontons and handmade noodles with Meiyun and Huayun helping her to wrap the wontons.

After 3 hours of cooking, they finally finished the wonton noodles, they cooked for all of the people in this house including the servants. Hong er went to Weisheng's bedroom to wake him up, Qiyi and Qier greeted her and opened the door for her. Hong er noticed that Qiyi's face looks tired with dark circles under his eyes. Hong er worriedly asked him.

Hong er: " Are you okay?"

Qiyi: " Ah, I'm fine. Thank you for asking, Young Miss."

Hong er: " En, please don't push yourself."

Qiyi: " Yes, Young Miss."

He bowed then looked up to see Meiyun stood behind Hong er with her usual playful smile. He felt guilty about what happened yesterday so he wanted to apologize to her. He kept staring at her but she didn't even bat an eye for him. Hong er entered the room and Qier closed the door.

And now the four of them were standing awkwardly in front of the door, both Qiyi and Qier were uncomfortable because yesterday they just pointed their sword to Meiyun's neck. Huayun noticed the awkward atmosphere and tried to lighten up the mood with telling a joke. Qiyi and Qier looked at her with admiration and gratitude, Meiyun noticed the way Qiyi looked at Huayun, her heart was stung by needles. But Meiyun laughed at the joke like usual so they wouldn't be suspicious.

Qiyi saw Meiyun laughed like how she usually would, he feel relieved that Meiyun didn't bring up about what happened yesterday. Then he looked at Qier that kept glancing at Huayun with blushed face. Since they grew up together, Qiyi and Qier could understand what they were thinking just by a glance. Qiyi silently congratulated Qier for finding his love of life. Then he glanced at Meiyun and saw that she kept nudging the blushed Huayun.

Meiyun leaned her lips on Huayun's ear and covered her lips with her hand so no one could read her lips.

Meiyun: " You guys dating?"

Huayun's face immediately got really red as she smacked Meiyun's head. Meiyun used both her hand to cover her head and laughed out loud. By Huayun's reaction, Meiyun knew that they were dating. Meiyun smiled gently at Huayun and patted her shoulder, Huayun stopped hitting her and smiled back at Meiyun.

Meiyun glanced at the dazed Qiyi, she took a deep breath before she smacked his arm and smiled brightly.

Meiyun: " Qiyi ge, let's go talk somewhere else."

Qiyi looked at her for a while before he nodded his head.

Meiyun: " We will leave for a while, kay?"

Huayun: " En, don't talk too long."

Meiyun: " Aye."

Then Meiyun and Qiyi went to the river behind the house, on the way there, Meiyun was weirdly silent. The moment they arrived at the river, Qiyi bowed at Meiyun and apologized.

Qiyi: " I'm sorry for not trusting you and pointed my sword to your neck."

Meiyun looked at Qiyi and laughed.

Meiyun: " Hahaha~ It's okay, it is your job to protect your master at any cost and I understand that."

Qiyi lifted up his head and looked at Meiyun with surprised expression.

Qiyi: " So you forgive me?"

Meiyun nodded her head and smiled lightly.

Meiyun: " En. But that's not what I want to talk about."

Qiyi: " What do you want to talk about?"

Meiyun: " Do you like anyone right now?"

Qiyi's face blushed as he looked away from Meiyun's stares.

Meiyun: " It means you do right?"

Qiyi didn't reply to her, he turned his body around so his back was facing Meiyun.

Meiyun: " Who is it?"

Qiyi: " So-someone gentle, beautiful, and not tomboy like you."

Meiyun's heart ached as she heard the last few words, she bit her lips to stop her tears from falling. She took a deep breath and exhaled, she tried not to stutter in her words.

Meiyun: " Mah~ I didn't ask if you like me or whatsoever but I just want to warn you to not look at my sister like that. Because she and your little brother are dating. I don't want you to ruin their happiness."

Meiyun stopped for a while and continued.

Meiyun: " And you don't need to emphasize the part that you don't like a woman like me. I, myself are aware of it."

Qiyi didn't mean to say that he doesn't like Meiyun, he was in panic when she suddenly asked him those questions, so he blurted out everything that passed his mind. He wasn't sure about his feeling towards Meiyun that's why he didn't dare to say that he likes her.

Meiyun looked at his back and felt like a fool for hoping that he would turn around and take back what he said to her. But after waiting for a while, he still didn't turn around and didn't say anything to her. Meiyun smiled in disappointment and left the river. Qiyi finally made up his mind and decided to apologize to her for saying such a mean word, he turned around and called her name.

Qiyi: " Mei-"

But Meiyun already left, his hand dropped to the side as he stared at the spot where Meiyun stood. His heart was full of regret and guilt.

Qiyi: " I'm sorry."
