Ye Chong, again, showed ignorance towards the enquiry of the others, as he turned away and smashed the remaining communicative devices in the ship. After that, he returned to the room and untied the red strands on them.
”All of you should know what you are supposed to do. Now, get back to your respective positions, and you...,” he said as he pointed at that scarred bodyguard, ”You will be leading them.” Everything once under the possession of these guardsmen had been scrapped and they had transformed into the typical unarmed men in the ship. And in terms of an unarmed hand-on-hand, they would never overcome Ye Chong, especially when they had to also take care of young master's safety.
Their only ”option” was, to cooperate.
”I do hope there won't be anything funny from you guys, or else...” The consequence sounded severe enough that it gave chills to everyone even when it went unmentioned.
”What the hell are all of you standing there for? Go go go! Do you want to move only when I'm captured with a knife next to my neck?” The little boy's words rang impatiently. He did sound a little too old for his age.
The bodyguards took a look at each other, shrugged, they headed to the commander's room.
The little boy got up and rubbed his wrist, ”Hey, don't you think you're a little too harsh sometimes? How could you be so mean to a cute little boy like me?” he muttered.
People were giving off stares at this expressive boy, confused.
And that was when he spotted both Rui Bing and Fei Si. He whistled, as a form of compliment for their appearance, while his eyes mischievously rolled over Ye Chong, ”Hmm, not bad. Never thought a dull-looking man like you could get such beauties, are those lassies your wives?”
”Nope,” Ye Chong said as he shook his head in disagreement. The answer went so naturally for some reason... Ye Chong felt pretty familiar with this boy. Something of this boy... was giving off nostalgia. But Ye Chong was very sure he had never met such flashy, dramatic boy before. Weird, why the sensation though?
”Well then, which one of them is?” The little boy went on inquiring.
”It's-”
”Uh uh uh, I'll make the guess.” The boy interrupted, as his eyes weaved between Rui Bing and Fei Si. ”Hmmm...” And he pointed at Rui Bing, ”She's your wife!” Affirmatively he gave his answer.
”How do you know that?” asked Ye Chong in bewilderment. He was pretty accurate, ahead-of-time-kind-of accurate. Between Rui Bing and Fei Si, Rui Bing did have a gazillion times greater chance of being his wife if a marriage were to happen. Probably she would also be the only candidate Ye Chong would ever consider.
And Rui Bing's icy cheeks was tinted with heating scarlet. That was the first time Ye Chong admitted their relationship between both of them, even though Ye Chong was too ignorant to be aware of the meaning of his gesture.
”Tsk. One glance and I could tell you're some bum from the countryside. Dull and boring, missing whichever essential of a real man. Sigh, what a waste to the white-garbed lassie...” Shook the boy. It formed a pretty hilarious contrast when a young boy like him giving off comments like some elderly.
The scarred bodyguard was sitting by his side. And Ye Chong shifted his stare. The little boy noticed the changes in Ye Chong's expression, ”You could save your stare.” Stated the boy, ”This dork knows only to murder, nothing else.” And he brushed his sleeves, ”But I must say you're quite something, that you could defeat him easily.”
Ye Chong was quiet.
”Oh and do you happen to have the latest issue of the Playboys?” asked the boy naughtily.
”Playboys?”
”Yeah, playboys, as in socialite, womanizer, Coxcomb, whatever you call it.”
The Coxcomb? And Ye Chong was reminded of his good old spaceship... as well as his mechanical partner, he missed them. But he understood what the boy wanted, the boy probably was referring to some exotic visuals that Shang used to be a maniac collecting them.
”Nope,” said Ye Chong.
”How about Snow White?”
Is that the fairytale?
”I know what you're thinking of, but no. I meant the film 'Schneewittchen... und die schwanzgeile Königin', the classic from a planet called Earth on 1995... I forgot what corresponding year is that in our calendar but you get it.”
”No,” replied Ye Chong.
The name did sound like the one Shang once shouted when he was in the room alone. That was his favorite too, he kept recommending it.
Man, this boy is seriously like a carbon copy of Shang.
The thought flashed in Ye Chong's mind and he stumbled.
Fei Si looked Ye Chong in his deep ponder. Towards this mysterious young man, her feeling was complicated.
Is it love? No! Way! I don't not believe she would fall for someone so easily. What is it then? Why would I cry? Why would I feel so terribly sad? Why the heartache back then?
For someone who had never experienced relationship like Fei Si, these were so difficult, not even the most professional psychologist could give her the definite answer. Admiration? Worship? Intensity? Pride of a woman? What was it? Who knows...
