12 ◇ Unshakable Memories ◇ (1/2)

After Yue and Lu Xing had brought in the boxes. Lu Xing had gotten to work on making breakfast while Yue was left to explore the place. Very quick to explore, Yue was in and out of the kitchen...

She wore the expression of someone wanting to ask something very badly but being too afraid to ask.

It was her 7th time popping into the doorway when Lu Xing sighed and turned around.

”You want to ask?” Lu Xing asked knowing exactly what was eating away at the girl's thoughts.

Yue froze at the doorway like a deer in headlights before hesitating as she walked backwards then hid behind the dividing wall with only her head popping out.

”Big...Brother? Ho..w...?” Yue stammered out feeling confused as to how she should word her question.

”You'll understand the concept later on, right now its a bit tough to explain...” Lu Xing said as he checked on the burger patties lying on the grill, ”It is a unique power that will appear in varying forms inside of certain groups of individuals...sorta like superpowers.Or something like that.”

Lu Xing frowned, even he thought that explanation was rather lame.

Suddenly he found Yue standing right next to him with doe like eyes of sheer admiration.

”If brother Yun doesn't marry you...you can marry me Big Brother! I'll never make you angry, you'll know happiness with me!” Yue stated, her pose that of a prince charming...

A vain in Lu Xing's forehead popped out.

”Don't make me place you outside with those idiots.” Lu Xing warned her.

Yue's eyes widened and then she shook her head fervently.

No, she did not want to end up like her big brother, and the mean man outside...stuff looking...like statues.

”They'll be fine by the time breakfast is done...” Lu Xing said as he got out plates and utensils.

All of which had been provided by Liu Zhuo.

'They were asking for it.' Lu Xing thought slightly miffed at their behavior. 'I wonder if that is how most people their age act... I can't recall acting like that myself...'

It has been more than thirteen years since Lu Xing had experienced it all...in reality, it was a 32 year old in a 19 year olds body. This thought made him wonder if dating anyone his bodies age would label him a cradle robber... The thought made him begin to wonder if he should swear off dating altogether in this lifetime.

”Maybe I should become a grand sorcerer?” Lu Xing said jokingly towards Yue.

”?” Yue tilted her head in a questioning manner.

'To young, I forgot...' Lu Xing thought missing the older Yue he had grown so use to.

”Dingahdingding...” the timer went off, Lu Xing put a stop to it, then grabbed a plate and began moving the patties off the grill.

”You want toasted buns?” Lu Xing asked glancing at Yue.

Yue nodded her head fervently.

”Alright,” Lu Xing said as he grabbed some buns from earlier that he had spread butter on.

Then placed them on the grill.

”Go place everything on the table, please.” Lu Xing said as he gestured at the plate with the patties, and another plate cut up lettuce and tomato.

”Ok.” Yue agreed instantly and went to grab the plates...

”One at a-” Lu Xing was about to say when the loud sound of something hitting the floor and breaking could be heard.

He turned to look and saw a tearful Yue staring at the floor, her cheeks slightly red from shame.

On the floor laid a broken plate with scattered patties.
