Chapter 116 Taming hearts (1/2)
The movie Taming Hearts was a story set in a futuristic fantasy world where advanced technology reigns. Legends, folklore stories, and mythological history of the distant past were nearly forgotten with these drastic changed over tens of decades; and were altered with the recent history of certain individuals that caused the world's breakthrough.
In this set of times, a faraway village, one girl named Xu Yingyue was one of the rare ones that still enjoyed these fables that were consigned to oblivion. She was known to be a genius girl with exceptional talent and a kind heart.
However, Xu Yingyue was born with no status nor wealth, hence, the opportunity for her was limited. Luckily, her persistence in attempting to study in the City, Xu Yingyue passed and was accepted in the most outstanding University.
Before the day Xu Yingyue, journeyed towards the City, she looked up in the clear bright sky. Raising her hand as if to reach out for it, she uttered.
”Too bad... I could not celebrate the mid-autumn festival here.” Her lips curled into a bittersweet smile just thinking that tomorrow, her life would change thereon.
Just then, the girl creased her brows because for a moment, she saw the clouds moved in an abnormal pace as the harsh wind blew passed her.
She squinted her eyes as she looked at the blinding sun and was astonished by what happened next. Slowly, the sun was blocked by the moon; that dimmed some parts of the earth.
The eclipse formed a huge eye as if it was looking straight at her. It was compelling yet, she felt dreaded at the same time.
She didn't know why, but Xu Yingyue somehow felt pressured the moment she witnessed it. Shaking her head, she didn't dwell on it as she turned to go back on her home.
However, the moment she turned, there, she saw a woman lying on the green moist grass. She was dressed with an ancient clothing that this generation had forgotten. If it's not for her inclination with folklore and the very distant history of their country -- Xu Yingyue wouldn't be in awe.
Taking cautious stride, Xu Yingyue drew closer, curious of the woman and if she was still breathing. Seeing the woman's beautiful countenance like she was carved out of the painting; Xu Yingyue squatted down and took her pulsed.
However, the moment her fingers touched the woman, a mild electrifying shock run through her veins which caused her to abruptly let go of the unconscious woman's wrist.
*GASP*
Suddenly, the unknown, beautiful woman gasped for air as her eyes instantly opened. On the other hand, Xu Yingyue jolted and her bum fell on the grass.
The woman before her speedily sat up and checked her body before she heaved a sigh of relief.
”I made it?” She melodiously stated. Sensing the figure near her, the woman raised her gaze and arched her brows. She thoroughly scrutinized the shocked girl which made her brow knitted by her plain white dress.
”Little girl, why are you out here naked?”
”Uh?” Xu Yingyue couldn't comprehend the beautiful woman's words.
Out of nowhere, the woman had a piece of clothing on her hand which made Xu Yingyue's eyes widen in disbelief.
”Here, cover yourself.”
Xu Yingyue was unable to move and accept her generosity with what she witnessed so far. The woman meekly smiled seeing her aghast expression before supporting herself to stand and strode towards the baffled girl.
She gently placed the white, well designed cloak around her shoulder and said, ”Little girl, what injustice have you experience to turn into a vulgar at such young age?”
The woman passionately patted Xu Yingyue's shoulder as if to comfort the girl. She added, ”The world itself was always been inequitable… alas, you must treasure your life at the least.”
With that said piece, the woman stood from her position and without a world, she calmly turned around and started taking strides to god knows where.
Before she goes, the woman slightly looked back, ”By the way, have you seen Houyi?”
