"No, I'll take care of it. After all, I am the Great Boss of the Red Tiger. It's my responsibility."
Raising his feet from the trash man's gem, Ming Yue turned around and her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the person standing by the door.
"You?!"
Ming Yue revealed her shock as she looked at the man standing wearing a black suit with one hand in his pocket. He could see Qing Long and Bai Hu were behind the man, watching the man with vigilance in their eyes and a muscular and burly man also stood not far from the man who called himself Big Boss.
That man was none other than his math teacher, Mo Liu!!
"Master Mo? You are the Big Boss of the Red Tiger Gang?" Ming Yue asked as she looked at the handsome man whose eyes were only focused on her. Shouting was seen in the depths of those dark brown eyes and a gentle cold smile appeared on his face.
"It's quite a surprise for both of us. I don't think the young girl in the report I received was the 'Cursed Child' from D." Mo Liu spoke but when he wanted to take one step forward, Qing Long and Bai Hu grabbed his shoulders from behind, preventing Mo Liu from approaching Ming Yue.
The burly man near Mo Liu wanted to take the gun from inside the suit but Mo Liu raised his hand, "It's okay."
Ming Yue turned her gaze to Qing Long and Bai Hu, "You two can wait outside."
"But Mr .." Qing Long wanted to argue. She didn't want her Lady to be with this man alone.
"It's okay, I'll be fine." Ming Yue smiled convincingly, seeing that smile that even Qing Long gave up.
"Listen man, if you do anything to our master.. I'll tear you apart!" Bai Hu growled in a low tone before leaving the room with Qing Long. The burly man also followed after Mo Liu gave him a firm nod.
Now there were only the two of them and one man in pain on the floor, silence filled the room. Both Ming Yue and Mo Liu were having a face-to-face clash, none of them broke the tense atmosphere but the one who finally broke the silence was Bai Zhang who groaned in pain.
"Who are those two men?" Mo Liu asked in a relaxed tone as if he was talking about the weather.
"My bodyguard." Ming Yue replied with the same relaxed tone.
Mo Liu could not help but smile seeing this young girl acting unlike a child her age. The girl answered her question using the same tone she used. Taking a few steps closer to Ming Yue, Mo Liu asked her more questions.
"Guard, huh? They call me human?" Mo Liu stopped right in front of Ming Yue, looking at the girl curiously, "As if they are not human."
Ming Yue only gave Mo Liu a smile full of mystery. Mo Liu who saw that smile, his heart felt interested. This young girl named Ming Yue, Mo Liu had noticed her behavior at school. A gloomy and pitiful girl who anyone does not want to get close to, moreover the rumors about her being a cursed child, a child of disaster, etc left behind by her own parents, make everyone even more estranged from her.
But now it's different. When did that girl change? Two days ago? Right, now that Mo Liu was recalling lately, he noticed Ming Yue's change after the girl returned from the infirmary. The girl who had been unable to look people in the eyes, calmly answered Mo Liu as she inquired about her health. Yes, now Ming Yue could calmly stare at her piercing gaze and Mo Liu could not help but notice the sweet beauty and fragrance coming out from the girl's body. Mo Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling his throat become dry.
"So, Mr. Mo.." Ming Yue's voice pulled Mo Liu from his daydream, "I want to discuss about the debt that Chu Hui Restaurant must pay. Looks like this BR*NGSEK, broke the deal that was made and doubled the interest on his loan. I want to pay the rest using the original loan interest."
Ming Yue's business attitude made Mo Liu amused and he also gave his answer, "No need." His refusal made Ming Yue stare at the man with one eyebrow curved, clearly feeling suspicious.
"You don't need to pay the rest, take that as an apology to Chu Hui Restaurant for my carelessness in taking care of the management of the Red Tiger Gang." Mo Liu explained
"Then think of it as a gift of friendship for the future owner of Restaurant Chu Hui. I, Mo Liu, the Red Tiger Leader would like to have a friendly relationship with you. After all, someone who had a guard who could defeat 30 thugs so easily, was definitely not a simple person." Mo Liu raised his other hand and offered to shake hands with Ming Yue.
"Agreed?" He asked, tilting his head to the side slightly.
Ming Yue stared at him for a while, pondering whether he should be friendly with a gangster or not. Ming Yue did not have great ambitions, she only wanted to live her life freely and peacefully but there might come a time when she needed a connection and having a connection with the Red Tiger Gang might come in handy in the future. So Ming Yue raised her hand and shook Mo Liu's hand.
"Agreed." He replied but Mo Liu pulled him closer, making Ming Yue off guard.
"Good, then please take care of my secret like I kept your secret, Little Moon (Little Moon)." He whispered softly into Ming Yue's ear.
Ming Yue let go of her hand and pushed Mo Liu with a sullen look on her face. "Master Mo, please don't get too close to me." Ming Yue said, clearly upset that the man was in action while he was off guard.
Mo Liu chuckled, "Don't call me, Mr. Mo. I called you 'Little Moon' so call me Brother Mo, hm?" He smiled at Ming Yue.
Ming Yue frowned slightly at Mo Liu's smile. The man who had always been cold and resolute at school and who had never shown his smile was now smiling coldly like that. This indeed opened Ming Yue's eyes..
'People do sometimes have other faces, huh?' Ming Yue in his heart.
"Little Month?" Mo Liu called out to him when he saw the girl in a dreamy state.
Drawn from his daydream, Ming Yue gave a small smile. "OK, Big Brother Mo." he finally replied then turned to look at Bai Zhang who was lying on the floor. "What about this trashy man.."
"Give it to me, I'll take care of it." Mo Liu said but he frowned as Ming Yue turned her gaze to the empty spot in the room.
"This man will be taken care of. I know that all of you cannot take revenge with your own hands, but I think you should just let go of your hatred and head to the reincarnation realm" Ming Yue said.
Mo Liu stiffened as he saw Ming Yue talking to herself towards the empty spot. Rumors about Ming Yue being a cursed child who could see ghosts flashed through his mind. It turned out to be true.. And those ghosts were in this room?! Somehow Mo Liu felt goosebumps all over his body.
A gentle smile appeared on Ming Yue's face as she watched the ghosts one by one go to the next realm. One by one expressing their gratitude to Ming Yue, the air that was thick with despair and hatred slowly became clean.
"Go away freely. May the heavens bless you with a good life in the next reincarnation." He whispered as he raised his head, staring at the ghosts that turned into particles of light, flying towards the sky.
Mo Liu who was looking from the side, was inevitably captivated by Ming Yue's gentle smile. Judging from his words, it seemed like 'The Ghosts' had already left and he admitted that the air in the room felt lighter. While continuing to stare at the girl's gentle face, a single thought flashed through Mo Liu's mind.
This girl is special..
The moving atmosphere immediately disappeared as Ming Yue returned to her cold demeanor, turned around and moved her feet towards the door. "My business here is done." Ming Yue said as she reached the doorknob and stopped before turning around slightly, "See you tomorrow at school, Ka.Kak.Mo~" Ming Yue gave her a playful smile before leaving the office.
It took a while before Mo Liu reacted to Ming Yue's idle comments. He chuckled and shook his head, "Naughty Little Moon." he muttered softly in a tone filled with indulgence. Looks like she got a cute and naughty little sister.
