Chapter 187: Brewing Storm III (2/2)
…
”Xuelin… Xuelin…” Xiu was at the outside of the room, her usually fickle voice was ringing excitingly at that moment. Xuelin was surprised.
The sound of furnitures consecutively falling alerted Xuelin. What happened? What if Xiu hurt herself? Did she fall from her chair? Xuelin got up immediately and opened the door to check her cousin out.
Xiu was by her doorstep, breathing heavily apparently. Her fair cheek was reddened by her intense movement. It took Xuelin a while to react towards this unusual Xiu’s expression, ”Xiu…? Could you tell me what…happened?”
Xiu was still catching her breath. The running before had consumed too much of her stamina.
”Did uncle come back?” Xiu’s parents were transferred to somewhere far, far away for work and she was left at Xuelin’s home al these years.
”No!” she replied. Her eyes darkened and then was flaring of some kind of peculiar excitement.
”What is it then?” Scratching her head, Xuelin was wondering if this Xiu was an alien in disguise as she could not guess what she was proposing.
”Come!” she grabbed her cousin’s hand, Xiu led Xuelin all the way to the processor in her room. Where did the Xiu I know go? What happened to her today? Where’s that lady-like, suave Xiu? Xuelin was dumbfounded as being dragged.
Xiu took out a piece of chip.
”So, what is that?” Pointed at the thing in Xiu’s hand, that was probably the reason of her excitement.
”You will know once I play it,” Xiu turned over as she smiled sweetly in mystery.
She inserted the chip and the processor was prompted to project a visual. Xuelin turned stoned upon seeing the screen.
YC…? YC! This is a visual of YC! I had never seen the recording before! This had to be something new from YC! I remembered it! Xiu and I had bookmarked every visual available! This had to be the new visual! Did YC resurface this time?
It’s been two years! Xuelin’s mind wandered off to her past while her eyes stared at the mech dancing in the visual. After that earth shattering shock she received just now, she no longer felt any stimulation from her idol’s return, which she found surprise of herself on.
Two years were a duration to be considered long of, long enough to change lots of stuffs.
Well, how about myself? Her eyes turned dazed as her mind blanked. Somehow she heard somebody letting off a sigh in her heart. Reminiscing the times when she and her cousin got all hyped up over the mysterious YC, that bitter experience emerged form the bottom of her heart.
YC… that mystifying title countless times she had thought of. Maybe it was less unreal than the mystery of the whereabout of that cousin of Grandpa Qian namely Ye.
The corner of her lips raised into a wry smile. She shook her head slightly and shifted her sight onto Xiu who was all focused on the visual. That expressive eyes of hers somehow was depicting tenacity!
Sigh, did Xiu not yet realize that it was all nothing but a dream? Xuelin who had woken up from the dream was actually troubled from that bitter sensation of her past, even though she felt much more relieved.
Xuelin who was pondering did not notice how Xiu had already laid her glance on her through the eyes’ corner. She blinked a few times, there was something forming in her pupils which grew steadier.
…
Rui Bing was on the street. That signature white garb of hers was an eye-catcher, especially with her absolute beauty and her unapproachable charm. The passersby turned their heads almost at a rate of 100% on every occurrence. Rui Bing was not disturbed by that as the sight she gathered from the passersby was no discomfort, unlike the constant attention given by those hooligans of Uncle Hua, a total headache. She utterly despised their behavior. And she could not express her disgust as she concerned the pride of Uncle Hua, so she could only keep her fists and let the hooligans act on their will.
To spend her life better, she decided to leave Tianhua dojo with an excuse for the day. She strolled on the street. Windstar planet was a planet for tourism, the scenery was gorgeous, the landscape was unique and there were a variety of tiny stores at both sides of the streets selling fancy things. Rui Bing was entertained throughout the walk.

”No!! No! No!” Wei Yuan piloting his mech traveling at full speed to his school. He overslept this morning! All because of the training! He did it too much that he forgot the hours. The mech flew low as the mech was not really outstanding at its capacity. It was a really normal mech, of course it would be a losing match if Wei Yuan were to set off into the sky high to squeeze into the flock of other mechs. So he succumbed to flying low since one would be affected by the difficulties of complicated landscapes and be distracted by the buildings, which justified the drastically lower amount of mechs flying nearer to the ground.
That was not an issue to Wei Yuan with his superior piloting skill so generally flying low resulted in faster travel for him. Oh and there he was, at one road with form of 6 consecutive turnings, the most thrilling path ever of his day!
He did not decelerate. The mech advanced forward in high speed.
Oh wait! He remembered how YC performed consecutive curvy turns in his visuals. Such an opportunity to use it! Wei Yuan’s heart boiled in eagerness. That was actually the Black Covers’ Double Curved Steps, inspired by the 4 bodyguards of Mr. Robert. Ye Chong put it into the movement of mechs, though it was unexpected that Wei Yuan picked it up from his visuals. Wei Yuan was certainly a genius of some sort.
Wei Yuan however was not aware what laid ahead of him for his eager attempt of performance!
