My beginning is you

Chapter 7

Ning Xuan, Qing Ze, Bai Ling were stunned when they heard Bao Yu. They know very well Bao Yu didn't mean the red mark on her wrist instead the scar on her heart which caused by them.

"Did we really hurt her?" Ning Xuan eyes started to tear up. Qing Ze patted her head silently. Bai Ling was too shocked to even open his mouth.

Papa Ning came out and placed a bank passbook in front of them, "I heard you guys. I really don't have any idea that she was hurting all alone. Do you guys know that she stopped eating here two months ago?

When I asked about that Bao Yu said that her work place is providing her three meals a day. Before that have you ever noticed that she never once asked me to give her a extra bowl of rice or have you ever seen her eating the other dishes on the table?

Have you ever noticed the dress she was wearing? It's all the old dress of Ning Xuan. So many times I offered her to buy new dress but she declined me saying she likes the dress now she was wearing. Not even once Bao Yu asked me anything in these past three months she started to stay here.

I even told her that I like to pay the fees for her to go to school like everyone. She declined that saying she was stupid that she was forgotten everything about her so she doesn't have any confidence to study anymore or go to school like everyone. She said if she do, it'll be the waste of money. Instead of that she preferred to work.

Suddenly one month ago she came to me and Papa Qing and gave us the packet full of money saying that was her first month salary. We were too shocked. Because she gave us all the money she earned not even took a single cent for her. When we insisted her to take the money back Bao Yu said only if we get the money from her she can able to breath without feeling bad for staying here.

At that time I understood that she was having hard time living with us. How can a sixteen year old girl can feel that way? She was already suffering from memory loss and also she doesn't remember where her real family is? Can you imagine how you will feel if you lost in the desert or in the forest all alone?

I thought you three will understand her and embrace her as your younger sister but I never imagined that my children will behave like this" Papa Ning heart hurts whenever he think about Bao Yu, "I never once saw her smiling. Bao Yu, always look nervous and scared that one day she might abandoned by us"

Papa Ning looked very sad and went out to his restaurant.

"I think we did hurt her" Bai Ling fell on the couch. "Now what can we do?" Ning Xuan asked them. "I don't know" Qing Ze rubbed his forehead. He was the eldest among them but he failed to guide them.

"I told you to take rest. But what are you doing here" Madam Yi asked her as soon she saw Bao Yu in front of her door.

"Um.. I feel so bored" Bao Yu sheepishly smiled at her.

"Yo! My partner is here" Yi Chen ran to her and did a fist bump.

Madam Yi stared Bao Yu for a couple of seconds and took a money from her bag, "Here, take Bao Yu to out to play" She stuffed the money into Yi Chen's hand.

Yi Chen eyes beamed with happiness when he saw the money in his hands, "Sure, Mom"

He grabbed Bao Yu's wrist, "Let's go. I'll teach you how to have fun" and dragged her out.

Bao Yu hissed from the pain made Yi Chen to stop in his tracks. "Hey, stop acting. I didn't even used my strength-" Yi Chen gasped when he saw the hand marks on her wrist which he grabbed.

"Who did this to you? Tell me" he grabbed her shoulder. Yi Chen know that Bao Yu have some personal issues but he never once asked her to about that. He just waited for her to open up by herself. One thing he knows for sure that he was her only friend.
