Chapter 20 - Chaotic hearts (1/2)

Outside, it was raining like the heavens wanted to drown the Beijing city. Every now and then, overwhelming noises of thunders would shake the city and chill one's heart with fear.

Su Liwei glanced at the beautiful woman who laid defenseless on the bed.

So careless. How could she pass out with a man by her side?

He pushed away a strand of her hair; his fingertips touched her soft, squashy cheeks and filled his chest with a strong feeling of gentleness towards that woman.

'I-I wasn't... Don't...Don't kill my grandfather... Don't hate me... I would do everything you ask... I...” Silent tears fell down her closed eyes.

Su Liwei felt a strong sensation in his chest. No matter how hard he tried to stop himself, his hand still reached forward and wiped away her tears.

”L-Liwee...” Her hand tightly grasped his hand. Instantly, her face eased, her tears stopped immediately and she started breathing became even. It was as if all her pains vanished.

Su Liwei's eyes eased a little; his hand froze and his cold face let out allowed those deeply hidden emotions. He looked at Jing Lihua in despair.

”We can't be... We are not fated to be. Why don't you see?” He looked away, out of the glass window at the roaring thunderstorm. The chaotic weather reciprocated the state of his mind and heart. He toughened his heart. No, he must not fall. He couldn't let them walk down that path of destruction. She didn't know but he had made a promise to his mother on her death bed. a promise he couldn't break. A promise that will stand as an eternal unbreakable obstacle between him and her.

”We were never meant to be. You should hate me. You should try your best to avoid me, to fight me off and push me away. I'm your enemy, not your friend. You should be clear of that.”, he said; his eyes darkened once again. ” You must be strong. Do not let me destroy you... And do not call for me again.”

He freed his hand from her tight grip. Once his hand left hers, her serene expressions broke and her hands moved around relentlessly in search of something. Her petite body trembled; she whimpered softly. But Su Liwei suppressed his urge to look in her direction again.

He still remembered the day, he first saw her.

A boy was sitting under a lone maple tree, all alone to himself, in a small park. That maple tree used to be his only companion. He was forced to dress in pure black clothes. His mother said she didn't like other colors. They were too irritating to her eyes.

”I don't understand why doesn't mother like colors. They are so beautiful.”

”Haha. Look isn't it the famous Su Liwei? The rich boy. What is it, rich boy? Why are you sitting here all alone? Is there no who wants to be your friend?” A boy laughed.

”Go away!”

”And what is it? Oh” The tall boy snatched his drawing. ”Are you stupid? Boys don't draw flowers.”

”Give it back to me!”

”Take it yourself if you have the strength.”

”Give it to me!” He snarled and lunged towards the other boy, who was twice as him in size. He bit him hard.

”You bastard!”The tall boy easily threw away the little boy and tore the drawing into pieces in anger and laughed at him.

”Don't call me a bastard! I'm not a bastard! Don't you dare call me a bastard!” The boy eyes filled with tears and he once again charged at the tall boy; with a strength ten times more than earlier. The tall boy fell down and he punched him again and again till his face was bleeding.

”Don't let go... You monster...”
