77 The Heavens Are Out To Shock Me! (1/2)
”Are you sure you're ok?” Arnold said. He was worried since every time he said something to Cynthia she become awkward. She kept sneaking glances his way, and Rina over in the corner of the room laughing to herself didn't help his case.
”Y-yeah, totally fine...” Cynthia said, those embarrassing scene of her half conscious self kept replaying over and over whenever Arnold said something, making her think of what she had done. For minutes on end, Rina had taken one step explaining what had happened while she was gone, Arnold would jump in, and all the progressed Rina had built would be lost as Cynthia's faced reddened and her mind fried.
”Hahaha, you two are so cute~” Rina, this mass of chaos… she fanned the fire with complete recklessness.
Cynthia's face turned red once again, as Rina continued ”Seriously, what could you possibly be imagining?” She envisioned what would make her go that insane, and quickly stopped… There were ropes and leather, and the color black was everywhere…
A sudden knock on the mansion's entrance door woke both of the red-faced girls from their drunk-like stupor. Arnold went over to the door and welcomed the guests in. ”Oi! We're going with Jam to see if the opening thing Xie Ming talked about is useful to any of us. You guys wanna come?” Kirin's loud voice was always useful in these situations.
”Opening?” Cynthia asked, she was confused because she hadn't been paying much attention to what Rina and Arnold were trying to tell her.
”Yeah, like we said earlier. We don't know what it is either.” Rina said.
”Well, whatever it is, let's go discuss it with Xie Ming together.” Jam said.
…
The group slowly flew towards Xie Ming and Xie Xinyi's house. Jam led the way as he had already been there. When they reached the door, Jam knocked on the door and waited to be invited in.
Xie Ming inside his house was whispering all sorts of sweet nothings to his lovely wife. He was a bit annoyed that he had to stop, but when he noticed it was Jam, he quickly threw on the brightest smile possible and warmly welcomed him and his friends.
”Jam! Welcome back!” He looked at Cynthia before turning to his wife and saying ”See?! I told you she would be fine! Jam is a medical genius! He's healed you, me… healing his friend back to normal was the obvious result!”
Though Jam was flattered by the constant praises thrown his way, when he saw Xie Xinyi for the first time since their event in the cave, he frowned… Jam sent Xie Ming an energy transmission, his voice was uncannily dark ”You didn't give her the Shedding Pills?” Xinyi wasn't exactly exposing herself for everyone to see, but to Jam, who had personally treated her, the scar mark exposed on her shoulder, just above the clavicle, couldn't escape from his sight.
”What? No! I…” Xie Ming's panicked face gave away the conversation as Xie Xinyi picked up on Jam's line of sight. She pulled on her shirt a bit more to show everyone a bit more of her scar, as she said ”This? It was my choice to keep it...” She pulled her shirt back up and continued saying ”I don't want to forget what happened that day...”
Upon understanding that it was Xinyi's choice, Jam audibly went ”Oh~” He then threw away any sense of formality when he blurted out ”Still, its a shame for Old Ming… Having to look at that scar...” Jam gave Xie Ming a pat on the shoulder and said ”Good Luck…”
Xinyi donned on the same eyes that Cynthia had, inspiring fear within Jam. With a terrifying aura and smile emanating all sorts of demonic intents Xinyi approached Jam and said ”Mhmm? Poor Old Ming? What's wrong with having a scar?? Are you saying he'll despise making love with me because I'll be too ugly with this scarring running down my body???” By the time she finished her last sentence, she had Jam in a chokehold…
