The Investors

Chapter 44

"Yonggan," Xiao Meilin approached Cia Yonggan's back. And then he added. "What about your injury?"

Xiao Meilin certainly wanted to be sure further, because what the old man said last night was too difficult to accept by his common sense, even though some of his other self believed it.

"Eh, Cicci. You're awake apparently. Look, I'm cooking meat and vegetable soup, I think it's good to eat after we've been raining last night," without looking back he said as he kept stirring the dishes in the cauldron.

Seeing that people did not answer his question, even in a carefree voice talking about cooking, made Xiao Meilin slightly annoyed. But the aroma of cooking was indeed very appetizing, so inevitably he approached and stood to the left of Cia Yonggan and inhaled the aroma of cooking that emanated from the cauldron.

"Hmmm.. It looks good," Xiao Meilin said.

"Here, try a little, Cici," Cia Yonggan suddenly thrust a spoonful of soup sauce.

Spontaneously Xiao Meilin opened her mouth to receive the soup and tasted it.

"How, how good, no, Cici?" ask Cia Yonggan.

"Cashhhh... It tastes delicious, Yonggan," praised Xiao Meilin, his tongue clucking.

"I've guessed you'll definitely like it, Cici," Cia Yonggan said again.

Xiao Meilin wondered, what is with this young man. He really felt different from the Cia Yonggan he had ever known. Yesterday this young man was like a luminescent young man, not saying much. But the Cia Yonggan he saw this morning was cheerful, like there had never been any problems that befell him.

Cia Yonggan refocused on his cooking. While Xiao Meilin silently continued to pay attention to the young man. It seems that the injury of the young man is gone.

"Yonggan, what about.." he still wanted to ask.

But suddenly his question was cut by Cia Yonggan. The young man grabbed his shoulders and from behind him slightly pushed the girl's body forward, towards the bathroom.

"Cici, you take a shower first. Once you're done, my cooking will also be cooked" Cia Yonggan said.

"Alright," Xiao Meilin replied, just obey the young man and close the bathroom door.

The bathroom in Cia Yonggan's house was far from luxurious as it was commonly used by Xiao Meilin. No shower, no water heater. There was only a large water bath and dipper and toiletries hanging on the wall.

In the corner of the bathroom, there was a pile of wet clothes that Xiao Meilin had yesterday, complete with her set of underwear. As a descendant of the rich, he never washed his own clothes, usually all his necessities were prepared by servants. So no wonder Xiao Meilin did not know what to do with her dirty clothes.

Surely the young man had seen the pile of dirty clothes and realized he was not wearing any underwear at all. Moreover, his shoulder was long enough to be touched by the young man. Thinking of this naturally caused Xiao Meilin to become embarrassed. His face was red. There was also no way that she was wearing Gao Mei Gui's underwear, it really felt embarrassing.

Gao Mei Gui pajamas currently worn by Xiao Meilin look a little small, because indeed Xiao Meilin is taller and leaner than Gao Mei Gui. His pants also felt a little loose on his waist.

"Ohhhhh.." Xiao Meilin could only sigh resignedly because there was indeed no other choice.

In a hurry Xiao Meilin washed her face. The cold weather made her reluctant to take a shower. And didn't he just take a shower a few hours ago?

Now he looks fresher, like a jasmine flower after being drenched in rain water. The drops of water falling from her taper chin further accentuated her beautiful facial features.

While Cia Yonggan started to feel something strange on him since waking up this morning. First, he could tell that Xiao Meilin had woken up, even though the distance to the front room was quite far. Secondly, he could also hear whatever Xiao Meilin said in his heart, even Xiao Meilin who was now being struck by shame in the bathroom could tell.

So he immediately went into the back room and picked up a long cloth so that the girl would not feel ashamed again when faced with him later when eating a dish.

Xiao Meilin had just returned from driving her dirty clothes into the car. He could've left that dirty suit here, but of course he didn't, because the young man did not have a washing machine in his house and it was definitely Cia Yonggan who would wash it with his own two hands.

"Let's sit down, Cici. They have been waiting for you," Cia Yonggan said as he pulled out a chair to be occupied by Xiao Meilin.

What they mean by Cia Yonggan is the new dishes served. He likened the dish to the meeting participants waiting for Xiao Meilin to open the meeting, then the event could then begin.

Of course this made the mood of Xiao Meilin become liquid, from which it was initially a little embarrassed because the curves of her body behind the clothes were slightly overshadowed.

"Haihihah... Thank you, Yonggan," Xiao Meilin said as she sat on the wooden chair.

Not yet had he managed to set a sitting position, Cia Yonggan had already wrapped a thick blanket on his body. Be now Xiao Meilin sat covered in face of the dish on that table.

"I think the air here is too cold for you, so you're reluctant to take a shower, Cici. Let it not be cold, you just wear this blanket" Cia Yonggan said with a smile.

In a way that did not make Xiao Meilin ashamed, she reasoned that the weather here was too cold to cover Xiao Meilin's upper body.

"thank you. I do feel cold," Xiao Meilin said thankfully that the young man was able to understand what was stirring in her heart.

"Yonggan, what are your plans today?" Xiao Meilin fishing.

Is it true that soon this young man forgot his business meeting his girl? When he was seen when he was unconscious, he would not stop delirious about the girl's name, now why did he seem to have forgotten her?

"Of course I'll ride with you back to Nanping City, Cici. I should be able to meet Mei Gui. Are you ready to go, Cici?" cia Yonggan replied with certainty.

"But what about your injury? Doesn't it still hurt?" he's still curious.

Shrugging his shoulders, Cia Yonggan said. "As you can see, Cici. I've recovered."

"But.. But how is it possible? Even if being able to recover would at least take a long time, as the doctor said back then," Xiao Meilin was still in disbelief.

"Come, Cici. I guess this happened thanks to the bright object I held last night," Cia Yonggan replied casually. And then he added. "Oh yes, Cici, do you still remember that dragon figure last night? Isn't that horrible in your opinion? I'm actually still wondering, how did we both survive that?"

"Yonggan, there was last night.. Someone is coming. If he doesn't come in time, I've.. We've been.." Xiao Meilin said nervously.

He could not bear to mention that Cia Yonggan almost took his life if the old man did not arrive on time. It was not her fault, however, at that time Cia Yonggan was unconscious and the energy that was overflowing from within Cia Yonggan's body was like looking for an outlet, destroying anything, he said, kill anyone who is nearby.

Cia Yonggan with his new strength, could of course know the contents of Xiao Meilin's heart. There was nothing that Xiao Meilin could hide from her now.

He hurriedly stood up and bowed his body. "Cici, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry, Cici."

"It's okay, Yonggan. I see," the more astonished Xiao Meilin was, why could Cia Yonggan guess the contents of her heart.

"Cici, tell me, who is that old man?" Cia Yonggan continued asking.

"Where do you know he's an old man?" asked Xiao Meilin.

Cia Yonggan sat back in his chair and said. "Cici, let me tell you. L'm.. I felt something different since I woke up this morning. I think I can hear what you're not saying on the surface. I don't know if this has anything to do with the bright stuff that was in my hands last night."

"It seems that it is, indeed" Xiao Meilin was finally able to believe what the monk said last night to the fullest.

Then Xiao Meilin told him what he had experienced during Cia Yonggan's fainting due to the melting of the three intermediates Cia Yonggan, the dragon mustika and the dragon became one. He also told about the prophecy of the monk who had known the figure of a true dragon would be born, since more than five years ago.

That the present Cia Yonggan is no longer like the former Cia Yonggan. He was already a different person, the luckiest person, getting magical powers from the dragon that only exist in fairy tales.

The only thing that Xiao Meilin did not tell Cia Yonggan was about the involvement of the Shu family in Beijing who had struggled to find their way to Nanping City. He only focused on the old man.

"Woows... Are you telling a story, Cici? Am I really a human dragon? Haha.. You seemed to be consumed by the old man's words," he tried not to believe Xiao Meilin's words.

However, he could not deny, by being able to listen to Xiao Meilin's heart alone, it was already a proof for him.

"Don't you feel it yourself? The mustika within you is what makes you have abilities that no one else has" Xiao Meilin said.

"Tell me, Cici. What kind of old man is that? Is he a clairvoyant, a hermit, or a monk as he seems?" Cia Yonggan was curious about the figure of the old man.

"Come on, I don't know. From his appearance, he was a monk," Xiao Meilin replied. Then he asked. "Why are you asking him the old man?"

"Come, Cici. I was just wondering how he could accurately know the upcoming events" Cia Yonggan said as he thought. So he added. "Cici, lest he's not human!?"

Xiao Meilin became shudder in horror at imagining herself having met a supernatural figure, let alone having a chance to converse with the figure in the dimness of the night that only illuminated the light of her cellphone flashlight.

"Ih, what the hell? Not funny to know!" reply Xiao Meilin jutek.

But the young man laughed loudly. "Huhaha..!!"

That was how Cia Yonggan melted the mood in Xiao Meilin's heart. He had now completely turned into a jolly, making anyone nearby also carefree.

After cleaning the dirty dishes and repairing the door that was broken last night, now the two young men have climbed on top of the car. Cia Yonggan sat behind the wheel of this luxurious car, while Xiao Meilin sat still covered in thick cloth beside her. For life, only this time Cia Yonggan can feel sitting behind the wheel of a luxury car and today is the day he can simultaneously drive it.

"Are you ready?" he said while looking to the side.

"Sure!" Xiao Meilin sweetly smiled in response to the young man's behavior.
