9 The guy is real?

"You disappoint me..." Yi Hua heard herself, drowning deep into the remorse and pain as she stared into her own translucent eyes hovering above her.

And just in a spur of a moment, she found her translucent figure hovering above her, vanishing off into the thin air, "Hua…" Yang Yang mutters under his breath, Yi Hua blinks her eyes as she slowly sits up.

Heaving out a sigh she bites her lips nervously, she looks up meeting Yang Yang's cat eyes, "It's okay, I know it's hard for you to accept and I have nothing to say." Yang Yang mumbles, smiling a little at her and he also vanishes off into the thin air startling her.

To her surprise, she found the limp body of the cat on her carpet, gasping in shock she ran to the cat, "Did he just leave the body here?" She questions in disbelief, gulping as she tries to feel the essence of life in the cat which disappoints her.

"What am I gonna do with this dead body?" She sits down, all distressed.

Leaning against the wall she looks up in distress, "Such a mess…" Wiggling her legs around she groans, "Take this body with you, aish!" She fakes out a cry and stares at the dead body in rage.

—-----

"Ah, finally…I feel good." Yi Hua walks out of the showers, drying off her hair and lying on the bed, "Do I still stink?" She mumbles and smells herself, heaving out a sigh when she doesn't find herself smelling.

She shakes her head as she imagines throwing off the cat body in the garbage area with lots of piles around her, "God that was so gross." She fakes out puking and pats her cheeks trying to brush off the memory.

"Such a day…I am tired." She adds, sitting upright and still drying her wet hair.

Ding Dong!

She gasps, startled with the sudden door ring, "Who can be here…at this time?" She mutters, checking the time which reads 7:30 pm.

The sudden fear of seeing something unexpected just like before scared her, with the continuous ringing of the bell she slowly makes her way towards the door, gulping.

'What do I do? Open it or not?' She thinks to herself, contemplating on what she should do.

Clearing her throat and looking around for something to protect herself, she grabs the umbrella she had placed aside from the door, holding the umbrella tight, she slowly opens the door just to be shocked.

"You!" She exclaims, pointing her umbrella ahead at the person before her.

"Uh-"

"What are you doing here?! How did you know where I live? You stalker-" Yi Hua cuts the man off, shrieking when he took a step closer with that startled gaze of his own, "Miss, you mistook me, I just came to return you this."

The man says, taking a purse out and extending his arms ahead, Yi Hua gulps looking at her purse in his hand, "How did you get that? Did you steal it-"

"No! It fell from you when you collapsed in the supermarket." The man denies her accusation, shaking his head no vigorously while Yi Hua bites her lips, still conscious of the person's presence before her.

"Right…because of you, I fainted! Because of you…I died." She mumbles, her words going quieter and inaudible to the last, the man frowns, "What? I didn't get you. What do you mean?"

Yi Hua gulps, "How did you find my address?" She questions, still aware of his presence and the obligation to stand on defense hazed her mind, "I saw your address in your card. It was inside the purse." The man replies back, in his defense.

"What?! How dare you go through my purse!" Yi Hua screams, snatching her purse away and checking it upside down, "I didn't take anything…I just, uh…I went through your purse and found your Id which just gave me your address. Moreover, you don't have money inside your purse."

Yi Hua squints her eyes, glaring at the man with the unknown rage building up within her, "I got my purse so leave…and it's none of your business if I have money or not! These five dollars are enough for grocery!" Yi Hua says, stern and a little rude.

The man widens his eyes, "Not even a thank you?" He says, raising a brow, surprised but Yi Hua stood still on her feet with those narrow squinted eyes glaring continuously at him.

"Wait…what is your name?" Yi Hua suddenly asks, the moment he turned around to go away but he chuckles facing her, "I am Gu Chen, nice to know you."

He answers, extending his hand ahead to greet her, with that cocky smile but Yi Hua widens her eyes, "It's really him!" She shouts, her purse and umbrella, both drop off of her hand while she goes frozen, shocked, and terrified.

"Excuse me, you know-" He halts on his words when his eyes go down, widening his eyes at the few passport size photos dropping out of the purse, Yi Hua takes a step back, leaning against the wall when Gu Chen takes a step ahead and kneels down.

Yi Hua gasps, "What are you doing?! Get out!" She screams, catching her breath and picking up her umbrella, "How do you know her?" He asks, picking up Lin Yi's photo.

Yi Hua frowns, in shock and bewilderment.

"How do you know her?" Yi Hua counter backs, emphasizing the word 'you' which made Gu Chen laugh, "Why wouldn't I know my girlfriend?" He retorts back smugly.

"What?!" Yi Hua gasps, cupping her mouth in shock.

"Yeah, so tell me where she lives now? Do you have her number? I need to talk to her." Gu Chen asks, with that dark gaze that had Yi Hua tremble in fear, "You don't know where she lives?"

Yi Hua asks, dubious yet cautious, "No, she moved out and didn't inform me." He adds, shaking his head and acting innocent all of a sudden.

"But you said you are her boyfriend…why don't you know that?" Yi Hua raises a brow up, growing angry at the man before her.

"Actually…the thing is we have been doing a long-distance thing. You must be her friend she always talked about, you must know her." He stubbornly demands Lin Yi's whereabouts.

"Yeah but we also have been doing the long-distance relationship thingy and I don't exactly know where she stays now that we are away." Yi Hua replies back, precise yet cautious.

"Oh…" He retracts back, trying to take in the information.

"My bad…please, don't tell her about this. I don't want her to know as I am planning to surprise her with a sudden appearance." Gu Chen says, acting normal and bowing his head down.

"Then, have a nice day." He says, walking away leaving her confused and terrified, "But it's night…time." She mumbles, slowly composing herself.

She gasps, "This is crazy!" She ruffles her hair, gasping and closing her door shut, she leans against the door, "What just happened? Shouldn't he be like after me? Why her?" Yi Hua questions herself, puzzled.

"What is going on?!" She shouts, troubled with how things were going messier as the more second passes by.
