14. Bad Dreams

*You should have thought of me if you didn't want to get hurt like this again.

The middle-aged man then raised his black cloth pants that he had taken off earlier. After confirming his cloth pants the middle-aged man locked the bathroom door leaving a little boy alone there with a naked body full of bruised scars.

The boy shivered in the cold as well as felt pain from the wounds all over his body.

The boy could do nothing but lay weakly on the cold floor of the bathroom tile. His body was already too weak he was even very helpless.

Sobbing softly he kept calling his dead mother.

Mom....mom...why did you leave me alone.mom I really wanted to meet mom....

Having no more resistance to the cruel treatment of his father, the boy then slammed his own head into the bathroom wall and slowly fresh blood began to pour out from his head his consciousness started disappearing. Slowly but surely everything began to look dark in the vision of the boy.

I'd rather just die he said in his heart before he closed his eyes*.

Aaarghh... pain.. aaaah... pain... aaaaarrrrgghh.." sigh Fei with a voice that sounded in pain.

Yifan was shocked as soon as she entered the room hearing Fei sigh in pain. Yifan could see that Fei was in pain and his body was covered in cold sweat. Seeing Fei's condition like that made Yifan hurriedly wake the teenage boy up.

"Jey...Fei...Fei..wake up!" Yifan shook Fei's body to wake the teenage boy who was having a nightmare.

Fei suddenly woke up the teenage boy looked very agitated with the rush he set his breath. After feeling calm he looked around and looked a little surprised when he saw Yifan was already in a standing position right in front of him with a face that looked very worried.

Seeing Fei was already aware of Yifan slightly moving away from his previous position. "You okay?" tanyanya's worried.

Fei rubbed his face staring pushyly at Yifan. "What happened to me just now?" ask her with a raucous voice.

"You had a bad dream" he said, then passed from the position where he came to take a glass of water on the table. "Ck. Looks like you've been talking to me in a pretty loud voice that's why I'm worried about you." Yifan then handed the glass containing the clear liquid to Fei.

Fei took the glass but he did not drink it immediately and instead looked dreamy afterwards.

Seeing Fei's reaction like that made Yifan feel bad as well as worried about the condition of the teenage boy. "If you don't mind you can tell me the contents of your dreams." Yifan bargained.

Fei shook his head and drank the water and got up from his bed. "It's okay, you don't have to bother worrying about me" he said in a voice that sounded indifferent.

Yifan was only silent but his eyes continued to trace the movements of this one teenager.

Yifan scratched her head that did not itch then she answered a question from Fei. "Nothing but actually today I plan to talk to you about something important" he replied.

Fei shook his hand in front of his face. "Ck. Just put it off first! Today I want to take a walk alone to calm my mind." he said quickly.

Yifan glanced at Fei for a while then said something like this. "Are you sure you won't get lost walking alone?"

"No. And don't worry about me. Have we been free today with our respective affairs for the affairs of your plan that we can still discuss tomorrow, agree?" tawal Fei's.

"Take care" said Yifan before it finally passed. Yifan did not seem to want to take a headache after all, a one-day break was also not a bad idea considering his own condition was also slightly weakened because yesterday he had used too much magic.

After Yifan passed Fei immediately went from there to go wash himself in the bathroom.

It had been almost an hour or so Fei just sat there daydreaming on a wooden bridge in a small park not far from their inn.

Fei sat on the wooden bridge while looking at the river blankly.

For some reason, suddenly the memories of the nightmare came back to his memory. Half-dead Fei tried to control himself but still the fear and anxiety reappeared and haunted him. No longer able to hold back his emotions Fei could only cry while sobbing softly.

Fei's tears fell while his face was flushed red with snot hanging from his nose.

As Fei was crying he did not notice that a long black haired girl was approaching him. I don't know where the girl came from but without a doubt the girl got closer to him then he took out a pink handkerchief with cherry blossom motifs. The girl wiped Fei's tears and suddenly kissed her forehead gently.

Getting that kiss Fei immediately stopped crying.

Fei became a little calmer. He felt the kiss was very warm and full of tenderness that felt so sincere. Exactly like his mother's kiss first.

Suddenly a man from the end of the bridge came up calling out the name of a girl he did not recognize at all.

"Hanami's... Hanami's... Hanami.. Come quickly!" call a man in a white shirt to the girl.

The girl then hugged Fei for a while before she finally went to meet the man who had just called her name just now. The girl waved her hand at Fei while smiling sweetly.

Fei fell silent as his hand tightly gripped the girl's handkerchief. I want to see her again Fei said inwardly. He then looked blankly at the girl who had gone further and further away from him.
