Fight ICE with ICE

Cheng Xiao: Revelations

I hear some rustling but I don't think anything of it. After all, I can't think. I'm unconscious after crying for several minutes in my room. I hear more rustling and then feel a light, fluffy blanket cover me up. As I start feeling more comfortable though, I start to come back to consciousness from my sleep. Whoever is in the room, stays immobile for a minute, and then just leaves.

Who was that? Does my bodyguard care so much about me already? Or was that Yan Yan? No. He smelled like guy perfume. It was definitely my bodyguard... or Mr. Xu?

I quickly get off my bed and run to see who it was. When I stick my head out the doorway, I can hear Yan Yan speaking to my bodyguard... and Mr. Xu too?

I get closer to the bodyguard's room and eavesdrop on the conversation.

"So she started crying as soon as I left?" Mr. Xu sounds a little concerned but a lot more puzzled.

"Yea, you took all her staff to a nice hotel, but she is staying, and I quote, "In a horrendous house that doesn't deserve to be housing the one and only Cheng Xiao!"

I hear Yan Yan giggle a little after saying that and I can feel my anger starting to rise. Then Mr. Xu chuckles and says, "Well, she is kind of right. This house does not deserve her."

They all start laughing a little and that's when I've reached the limit of my patience. I storm into the room.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!?!"

Everyone looks stunned for second, then, Mr. Xu speaks up. "We were talking about how you said this house doesn't deserve you. We agree with you COMPLETELY!"

"Oh! Well Mr. Xu, it's really nice of you to agree with me, but I don't find it funny that you, Yan Yan, and this bodyguard are all talking behind my back." I find myself feeling a little sick after finishing my sentence.

I start losing balance. I touch my forehead and it feels a bit hot. Too hot for normal temperature! I stumble back a bit before feeling my senses starting to shut down.

I hear Mr. Xu telling Yan Yan and my bodyguard to call... for someone? Who are they calling, I'm dying right here. Why am I feeling like this though? Why am I...

Darkness.

What is this?

Beeping.

Huh?

Muffled voices.

Mr. Xu?

Yan Yan?

"She'll... fine... needs rest... high fever... maybe ate something... shouldn't have..."

I open my eyes slowly and let all the loght from the room sink in. I see Mr. Xu along with Yan Yan talking to someone who seems to be my new doctor.

"Ahhh!" I groan as I try to move. Yan Yan snaps her neck to turn around and look at me as she hears me finally waking up.

"Miss Xiao, you're awake!"

"Of course I am! I couldn't leave you just yet. I've still got a lot of tasks for you young lady!"

As fast as she snapped her neck to face me as I came back to consciousness, she changes her facial expression to annoyance. Then surprisingly, she hugs me. Mr. Xu keeps his stern face though.

Does he always have to look at me like he hates me now??? He could maybe try to look a little more welcoming! Or maybe he is worried about me. I don't know how long I've been like this but I hope I haven't been unconscious for more than 24 hours.

Suddenly a strange dude burst the door open. He might have as well just knocked the door down.

"Is this her?" He suddenly stops in his tracks and stares at me. He stares at me in awe.

"I know I'm beautiful but please stop staring." His face slowly forms a smile. Not like the one that Mr. Xu made. That one made me melt. This one doesn't have an effect on me, but it looks like a warm smile. One that definitely seems very friendly.

"Hi! I'm Gu Yanzhen, and I'm Kai's manager. I'm sure you already met him, so no need for me to introduce him to you, right?

"No need!" I say raising my hand (🤚).

I look at the doctor next, as I literally peel Yan Yan off of me. I cannot understand why, after all I do to her, she still sticks to me like gum.

"Sick! So... is this the doctor my dad hired for me? I will say this room looks different, probably because of the different locations though."

Yanzhen immediately looks at Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu nods at him and they both suddenly look like someone who just lost in a race or something of the sort. They just look so... disappointed? Why is that the first emotion I think when I look at their faces?

"Excuse me, but it's time. Everyone but one of you have to leave. She needs that rest." Yan Yan looks at me reassuringly. I look at her a give her the smallest smile in the world.

"I'll stay and explain everything to Miss Xiao, you guys go back and keep unpacking. If you need help, Miss Yan, you know that Yanzhen is a gentleman and would love to help."

Yan Yan eyes him down for a second then nods at Mr Xu. "Thank you Mr. Xu!" She bows and then quickly says bye to me as she leaves with Yanzhen. I catch Yanzhen giving Mr. Xu a quick wink. Are they for real planning to do something? Against me? I hope not!
