The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise

"Hey, little squirrel..." Ru turned to look at the youngster’s beaming face.

"Oniisan, where did you go? I’ve been waiting for you since 4 in the morning." Xiao Zhi Yuan complained in a sulky look.

Ru touched his head full of black hair and smiled, pondering her words before saying, "I went out for some enjoyment." ’But yours and my definition of enjoyment can be misinterpreted.’

"Enjoyment?" Xiao Zhi Yuan’s brows locked together in confusion.

"Haven’t you heard about the four pleasures of life?" Yuan shook his head in negation and Ru had to explain, "The four pleasures of life are eating, drinking, playing and enjoying. Therefore, I was out looking for enjoyment." ’Oh, wait! That was my version of four pleasures. Bloody hell! I’m so going to hell for misleading a young boy but well... I’ve already shot the arrow. Let’s not go back on our words now.’

Behind her, Wu Dishi was trying to stifle his laughter as he heard her righteous way of talking. After all, she just made up those four pleasures of life.

Ru looked at Yuan’s innocent expression while she felt guilty inside for lying. But then again, she couldn’t just tell him the truth now, could she? She for once knew that he wouldn’t enjoy knowing that she just came back from pushing someone to death.

The truth was rather simple for her... In the middle of the night, she had gotten a call.

"Master, we lost contact with Team Seven." Adia’s relaxed voice could be heard from the other end.

"How many days has it been?" She had asked.

"It’s been 48-hours but we have locked on to their location. Awaiting your orders to take action." Adia stated calmly.

Ru took the initiative to look through the reports that Team Seven sent before they lost contact. And as she read the things Feng Group was involved in, Ru couldn’t help but say, "I’ll join you myself."

And that’s how she ended up at that Factory under Feng Group. She was planning on going the simple route of rescuing her people but the manager of that place had to just provoke her with words. One can’t blame her for being vicious after threatening her brazenly.

"Oniisan, I haven’t heard of such pleasures..." Yuan’s thoughtful voice brought Ru back to the present and she cleared her throat with a fake cough.

"Really? I learned it exactly like this."

"Are you sure?" Yuan gave a pointed look and Ru avoided looking straight at him.

"Let it be. Why were you looking for me?" She changed the topic conveniently.

"Oh, I need a good luck hug," Yuan answered as his eyes brightened up.

"Good luck hug?" Ru had just said those words and Yuan wrapped his arms around her frame tightly. Luckily, she had her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"Now wish me luck," she heard Yuan’s voice.

"What for?"

"You forgot? Today is my entrance exam. I need to do my best. Have to make you proud." Yuan’s words had a determination that made Ru feel amused.

"You shouldn’t have looked for luck around me. I’m the King of misfortune myself." Ru grumbled as she felt like she might bring bad luck to him indeed. It’s not like luck was ever on her side.

"Oniisan, you think too much," Yuan said the most obvious thing.

"That I sure do. Anyway, go ahead and do your best. No pressure though. Not being the best is not the end of the world. Okay?" Ru instructed him like a real elder brother while patting his shoulder for encouragement.

"I’ll keep that in mind," Yuan answered cheerfully with a spirited look. As if he was given a lucky charm and he knew everything will be alright now. Before seeing Ru he was a nervous wreck but not anymore. "Oniisan, you the most beautiful person I have ever met."

Ru didn’t understand the reason behind those words but being herself, she said, "Of course, I am. No one can compete with this young master’s good looks. I’m a rare sight to behold."

Yuan burst out laughing at her words in amusement. In all honesty, he didn’t mean to say that she was beautiful because of her face which was an obvious fact instead, he meant to say that she was beautiful as a person. Exactly as she was.

But then again, her level of comfort in her own skin was astonishing.
