2014 Words
Chapter 1.2 Shen Qi It's been a week since the day Shen Qi first arrived in that world, her first mission world. During this past week, she was spoiled rotten to her core by her brothers, since they all knew that she was sad about their rejection they tried to cheer her up and visited her more frequently than they used to do. Not like the brothers do not visit her more than a couple of times a day even when it was still before that time they had rejected her, visiting her residence for almost 10 times a day has been by far became a habit of each of them. They always felt that their day is not complete if they don't see her so their visits were very frequent, they can't help it their little sister is just too cute! The visit counts even got worse when they tried to cheer her up, from 10 it became 20 double the size of their usual visit counts. Sometimes, because of their frequent visit from her 6 brothers her head started to ache because she needed to entertain them from dawn till sunset. When finally she could no longer take it she chased all of them away so she can have her peace and then rested for a day. Knowing their wrongs, they instead took turns to visit her and lessen the visit counts to not disturb her that much. Sometimes when they visit together, they would go on a picnic and play together with her. All in all, the siblings relationship is good and harmonious. No sign of the bad fruit and a schemer, all are in peace and in harmony. This family is really a good family, even though they were all Royals they are not black hearted but instead siblings that truly care and love each other. The Original Shen Qi was truly a lucky girl having loving and kind brothers that protects her and even spoiled her rotten to the core but even so she did not grow up arrogant like the other nobles who grew up spoiled and bratty.  Maybe, being kind had already been deeply ingrained in their genes since all brothers and sister are kind and humble, they were really raised by their parents right and full of love. But instead of feeling happy right now, Shen Qi at this moment was feeling rather frustrated because her Main Mission Target who did not even visit her, not even once! He does not visit her, worst she can't even find him anywhere!! Yes, her brothers did visit her every day but they are always lacking in one person and he is none other than Mu Xuan! Her f*ck*ng target!! "Shen Qi, are you alright?" The Fourth Prince noticed that Shen Qi was a bit daze and could not help but ask. "Hmm? Ah, nothing's wrong Fourth Brother I'm fine." Shen Qi said with a feint smile. Always acting cute and all had started to wear her down. Imagine, acting cute 24/7 almost everyday, won’t your brain cells deteriorate? "Are you sure? You don't look like your fine though, how about you take a rest for now. We brothers would come back again another time."  The Seventh Prince who was listening to the Fourth Prince and Shen Qi's conversation was worried about his sister's condition. The other Princes’ also took notice of Shen Qi's worn out expression and decided to leave so she can take a rest, they all reluctantly leave until only the Second Prince was left. "Second Brother, can you stay for a bit." Shen Qi called out to the Second Prince who was already at the door. The Second Prince looked at her with surprise but did as he was told, like a puppy, he quickly ran towards his Mater and wag his tail. "Is there anything I can do for my Lil Princess?" The Second Prince asked with a doting smile as he gently tucked in a stray hair behind Shen Qi's ear. "Second Brother misunderstood, I only wanted to asked Second Brother a few question." Shen Qi immediately explained not wanting him to misunderstand. The Second Prince interest was peaked up when he heard that his Lil Princess wanted to asked him something, finally he could make himself useful for his Lil Princess and also he wanted to know what his Lil Princess wanted to ask him. It would be a juicy piece of news to that person. Just imagining about it already brought a smile to his lips, thinking of many ways on how to make that person pay for this juicy information. "Well, I was just curious where Third Brother is. I had not seen him for quite some time so I was curious to where he is that he did not even had the time to visit me, his sister." "Are my ears failing me? Did you say Third Brother just now? You did, right?! It's really Third Brother!" Seeing the Second Prince so happy confused Shen Qi. ‘What's there to be so happy about?’ Shen Qi thought as she look at the crazed man laughing before her. "Second Brother, are you alright? Why are you laughing so suddenly, did I say something funny?" "Hahaha... No, don't misunderstand lil Princess. It's just that I'm very happy that you are finally looking personally for Mu Xuan after all this years! I don't know what got into the both of you 5 years ago that you started avoiding him and would not even speak about him if necessary but now you even personally asked where he is, is the world finally turning upside down? Did the sun rise in the west? Is Fifth brother finally getting married? This matter should be celebrated!!" The Second Prince was so happy that he did not even notice Shen Qi's face darkening. ‘What is he saying about? 5 years ago, Shen Qi started avoiding Mu Xuan five years ago. Did something happen that year that changed her attitude towards him?’ ‘According to the story, they used to be so close when they were young and were even inseparable. They were like twins always glued to each other, where ever the other went the other follows. They were so close like sticky glue but why did they suddenly started to avoid each other, no, more like she was avoiding him.’ ‘What really happened between them 5 years ago that changed the both of them, what happened to this two people that were as sticky as glue to separate and even avoid each other like a plague?’ ‘What happened 5 years ago?’ Shen Qi was in a deep thought thinking of different kinds of possible scenarios in her mind but no matter how deep she thought, she could not conclude anything and could only sigh in disappointment. She even tried to recall the original Shen Qi's memory but nothing, there is totally nothing in her memory that she could use as a clue to solve this riddle. It was as if, the memory was deleted on purpose or the original does not want her to see that certain memory and also all of Mu Xuan's face in the original owner’s memory was blurred. The question is, why? "I'm sorry my Lil Princess if brother was so emotional, it's just that we brothers were sometimes in an awkward position with the both of you. We don't know what happened to the both of you to be like this but can't you forgive and forget for the old times sake? You two used to be so close to each other that sometimes we brothers need to kidnap you just to also have time with you, ah, those times really still brought a smile to my lips."  The Second Prince eyes misted as if he is really relieving those times that he is talking about, his lips forming a big smile. Shen Qi looked at him and listened intently, she was also curious as to what he had to say. She gave all her focus on him not wanting to miss any single detail, maybe she can find a clue from him to solve this mystery. "Do you still remember that every time we kidnap you, Mu Xuan would always come and save you, well more like take you away, but that's not my point. My point is every time he came to rescue you, he would beat the leaving daylights of all of us brothers who dared to kidnap you. You know, he really cherishes you so much and was really protective when it comes to you even to the point that he won't even let us brothers to have time with you. Even when we were still kids back then, Mu Xuan already cherishes you so much. That's why I want to ask you a favor, if you still have it in your heart, can you forgive him just this once?"  The Second Prince looked at her with pleading eyes, he sincerely wanted for the two siblings to make up. The Second Prince missed those times when all of them siblings would gather and play together, eat together, prank the servants together, escape from the palace together, play in the snow together, catch fishes together, and most of all, laugh together.  He wanted to go back to those times, the times that they were young, the times that they were completely free, free from people and heavy responsibilities and most of all the times that they were all complete and happy. "Second Brother, I..." Shen Qi acted like she was hesitating since she can't just directly agree to his proposal since she still does not know what truly happened to the two siblings so she can only bite the bullet. "Please Lil Princess, can't you really forgive him? For us?" The Second Prince held both her hand and gently squeeze it, he looked at her eyes pleadingly. Shen Qi bit her lips acting like she was really hesitating, she acted like she did not dare meet his eyes and looked away. The two sat in silence for about a minute when finally Shen Qi sighed deeply, her mind made up. She looked at her Second Brother but then quickly looked down when their eyes met, slowly she nodded. As if he knew what she meant just by those little actions, the Second Prince gave a big grin and hugged her tight. "Thank you, thank you Lil Princess!!! I know that I am asking you for too much but thank you for granting my wish, don't worry I will not let Mu Xuan waste this chance that you gave him! Thank you, lil Princess. Thank you." The Second Prince said in joy and then let go of the hug. "Haha! I need to go tell the others about this piece of great news, I bet that they will be happy about this! Oh right, I need to tell Mu Xuan to get his butt right back here in the palace. Why did he even went back to the border, it's not like there are so many beautiful ladies there. There are only blood thirsty big muscled soldiers there and no beautiful ladies, why did he even go back there when he finally went back home last week for the first time in 3 years?" After chatting for a little bit more, the Second Prince then said his farewell and went off to search for his other brothers to tell them the piece of good news.  Even after going out the door, she could still hear her Second Brother's laughter all the way to her room. When the Second Prince left, Shen Qi fell into a deep though. She had a feeling that she is finally near to the hidden truth.... "Could it be possible?" Shen Qi said in a low whisper only audible to herself. She looked out of the window and into the setting sun.
