In a blink, they were out of the estate and on a major road. Q'ling was completely silent as she sat still beside the driver, looking out the window of the moving car.
It did seem like there was going to be traffic but they kept going anyway. She was quite surprised that Shin Li hadn't requested a stop to pick up one of her friends like she usually does.
Whenever she was called out like this to be Shin Li's shopping maid, they always made a stop to pick up Shin Li's shopping buddy. So she had to carry both their stuffs and endure their bullying and constant nagging.
But for some unknown reason, it was just them this time.
Normally, she would be disturbed by this change. It could mean that Shin Li was plotting another scheme, but she was at the point in her life where everything seemed meaningless.
She couldn't care less what was coming her way as long as it took her life.
There was nothing to live for after all.
Everything that was so dear to her had slowly been taken away unremorsefully. What was left for her in this world?
Q'ling was lost in her thoughs when suddenly the constant honking of cars snapped her back to reality, accompanied by the silent swearing of the driver.
*Honk! *Honk!! *Honk!!!
"Shit, another psychotic patient has escaped the mental asylum".
psychotic patient?
It was the first thing that had caught her attention that morning. And the first time she would be seeing one up close.
Her eyes trailed from the driver at her left to the scene on the major road only to be left dumbfounded by everything that played out.
Cars honking impatiently, yelling at the top of their voices.
"Get your ass off the road, you psycho".
While others just kept driving past him, almost causing an accident as they tried to dodge him.
"Haha... Hehehehe, they can't catch me, they can't catch me".
A man...
Dressed in his pajamas...
He seemed to be running away from something, as though he was being chased.
Q'ling's eyes trailed back to where he ran from, trying to figure out what chased him. And then boom!... There it was.
A group of men dressed in black suits from a distance, pointing fingers when they caught sight of him. "Oh, there he is! There he is... Get him!! He's getting away!"
The man's eyes were wide with a manic energy, and was filled with so much adrenaline and excitement...
He looked... Deranged.
Suddenly, he ran from the other lane, and stood in front of the car where Q'ling watched from with so much shock. She had never seen anything like this before.
The man was so fast, so energetic, so audacious...
But the most captivating thing about this person were his beautiful features.
Was it the reflection of the sun directly on his silky, smooth-looking silver hair? Or had she gone insane?
If not, why the hell did she find this mad man so good looking?
She stared still in awe... watching him.
The next thing she knew, he started undoing the buttons of his pajama shirt.
And as though he read her thoughts, his eyes trailed towards her and locked onto Q'ling's. For a fleeting moment there she felt like he was staring straight into her soul... The entire world was on pause just for a few seconds...
Q'ling held her breath, clutching tightly onto the leather of the seat, unable to take her eyes off him.
What is this?
In the blink of an eye, before she could express her thoughts, his clothes came off, exposing his pecs, biceps, and triceps.
Her eyes widened to his reveal, unable to contain her silent gasps or the heat that covered both her cheeks.
H-how come this deranged man is this ripped?
Q'ling could not stop the shock she felt watching speechlessly, blushing even more to the fact that she wasn't the only one witnessing this inappropriate act. Even the driver beside her stared.
It felt like watching porn together with a group people.
But what shocked her the most was herself!
The moment she realized that he wasn't stopping at just his shirt, her heart began racing... Not in shock or disbelief, but In curiosity. In freaking anticipation!
Why?!... Huh? Why??!!!
What was she expecting?
She found herself gripping tighter onto the fabric of her seat when his hands reached down his pants, oblivious to the fact that hair nails had already dug in.
Had she gone insane?
Had she finally lost her mind because of the endless suicidal thoughts she indulged?
If not why wasn't she feeling any atom of empathy towards a man she should be feeling sorry for?
Why was she here drooling and curious about a mentally ill man's body instead?
The man was about to undo the knot on his pants when the bodyguards who had been busy chasing him caught up to him, almost reaching him, like a wind, he drifted off again.
So fast, so sleek... Almost invincible.
He conered to the next busy sector of the road where cars moved without breaks and without warning.
The busiest road unlike the one they were on.
Everyone who watched the scene play out kept on watching anxiously as he drifted off that path. They all knew what was about to happen...
"Kyaa, he's gone into the busy road." Someone yelled.
"Oh ,no, he's gonna get crushed." Another exclaimed.
"Someone, stop him, he's going to his death..."
The bodyguards who chased after him called with all their might in attempt to stop him couldn't chase him into the busy road... That would be suicidal.
"Young master, please stop!!!"
"Please come back!!!"
They tried to stop him, but was he even listening?
The fear in their eyes were no where close to the excitement in his orbs as he ran in front of the moving truck with not a single atom of fear, rushing with full force towards it.
Almost as though he was embracing death desperately and wholeheartedly.
A cry for help?
Q'ling swallowed.
What was this feeling?
Why was this scene playing before her looking so familiar?
She couldn't even get an answer to her silent questions because in the next second, she was closing her eyes tightly from the impact of collision of the truck, and that majestic body defying gravity.
What could drive someone to behave like this?
