The Dragon Beside Me
Long Residence.
In the east courtyard, Long Yu Heng was seen walking back and forth. His face was pale and his palm was sweating.
It has been a few hours since the last time he saw Long Fei. After that man had entered the mountain, the two of them had broken their communication.
As he continued t pace back and forth, Long Yu Heng began to wonder if he should inform the elders of Long Fei's disappearance.
The only consolation he got was the rain.
Seeing the pouring rain despite the clear sky a few minutes ago let him know that Long Fei was still alive.
But, where was he?
It was only a few hours ago that he had gone to visit their grandfather to inform that Long Fei had left. If he goes again and says that Long Fei had not returned, then, how will their grandfather react?
Long Yu Heng closed his eyes as he began to ponder his decision.
At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard heading in their direction.
An elderly man walked into the room with an anxious look on his face. Before Long Yu Heng could ask what was going on, the old man had spoken first, "Young Master Long had returned."
His eyes widened and Long Yu Heng quickly turn ran over to the door. It was a few seconds later that he remember that he did not know where was his cousin. "Uncle Nian, Where is he?"
"The Young Master went back to his room to change his clothes," the old man answered.
Long Yu Heng changed the direction and headed to the bedroom. Without knocking, Long Yu Heng pushed the door open and saw the man's hard abs in front of him. The sight stunned him and he continuously stared at the chest in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Long Fei frowned. He put on his shirt and buttoned up. "Don't you know how to knock?" His brow furrowed.
Long Yu Heng snapped out of his trance and ignored the man's unhappy gaze. He entered the room and walked around his cousin, scanning the man's body from head to toe.
"You're not injured, are you?" Long Yu Heng heaved a breath when he did not see any sign of injury on the man's body. "What happened. What took you so long to come back? I was going to call the elders and announce your disappearance if you come back a minute later."
"I was injured."
"What?" Long Yu Heng gave his cousin a look over. He was about to rip off Long Fei's cloth to inspect the man's body when he was stopped.
"It's fine now," Long Fei said. "Su Ruan healed me."
"It's good that you a fine." Long Yu Heng halted upon realizing that there was something wrong with his cousin's words. His expression turned serious. "What did you say? Miss Su did what?"
Long Fei did not answer his question. Turning around, he picked up something from his desk and threw it over to his cousin.
Fortunately, Long Yu Heng was quick enough to receive the items. He looked at the bullet with a puzzled look on his face. "What is this?" His expression changed upon inspecting the bullet.
The inscription on the bullet was quite familiar to him. They were thin and could not be seen clearly, but as a member of the Long family, Long Yu Heng was very familiar with it.
He turned swiftly with an anxious look on his face. "Ah Fei, you…"
"I'm fine."
The frown on his face deepened. It was no doubt that Long Fei was shot with this bullet. But how did he recover so quickly? Long Yu Heng thought about Long Fei's words earlier and spoke, "What happened?"
"I ran into that old man in the mountain," Long Fei said. "I believe that a few of them are staying in this town."
His heartbeat accelerated. Long Yu Heng understood well the severity of what will happen now that Long Fei had run into that man.
Long Yu Heng made a note to let someone check on the nearby hotel for the identity of their guests and their purpose of visiting the town.
"I understand. Don't worry. I know what I should do."
Long Fei nodded. He watched as his cousin turned around and frowned he was reminded of something else. "Yu Heng, wait a second."
The man turned around with a puzzled look on his face.
"Help me to look after Su Ruan," Long Fei said. "Now that I managed to escape, I have a feeling that the group was going to pay a visit to a few places in this town. Don't let them find out anything."
…
Su Ruan woke up later in the morning.
The memories of what happened last night came to her mind as she stared at the ceiling. Swiftly, she got up from bed to look around.
Her eyes were staring at her bed with a dazed expression.
Last night, before she went to bed, she had pulled that tiny dragon into her arms. But now, that adorable creature was no longer around.
Did he leave?
Seeing that her bed was empty made her wonder if perhaps last night's events were nothing but her imagination. But was it only her imagination?
Su Ruan looked at her empty arms and blinked.
Her feeling was telling her that everything that she had experienced last night was not a dream or her imagination.
Last night, she had met the lake dragon and helped him with his injury. Then, she had brought him back to her room.
As she recalled the incident, Su Ruan began to have a lot of questions in her mind. For example, how could her touch help to heal the dragon?
Su Ruan stared at her hands with a dazed expression.
The sound of someone knocking on her door snapped her out of her trance.
"Su Ruan, are you awake?"
It was her mother.
"I'm awake!" Su Ruan shouted back. She came down from her bed and walked over to the door. Her mother's worried face appeared as soon as she opened the door.
"Are you feeling well?" Ma Zheng Zheng asked worriedly. She stretched her hand and placed it on her daughter's forehead. A breath of relief escaped her at the normal temperature.
"Mom, I'm fine." Su Ruan chuckled.
"You usually woke up early," Ma Zheng Zheng said. "I was worried when I didn't see you during breakfast."
"It's nothing. I couldn't sleep well after eating too much last night." She lied.
"Is your stomach hurting?"
"It's fine now." Su Ruan flashed an assuring smile. "Mom, what did you cook for breakfast? I'm hungry."
"Look at you, all you think about is food." Ma Zheng Zheng looked at her daughter helplessly. "Didn't you say that your stomach was unwell?"
The mother and daughter exchanged a few words.. Once Su Ruan convinced her mother to leave, she closed the door again and stared at her empty bed in deep thought.
