21 You are invited to the funeral

"Will you accept me as your god-mother?" The Young Yan Mi stared with full of anticipated eyes at the little girl standing in a corner of the ICU ward.

The little seem to be lost in thoughts. Not getting enough care and nutrition over the past weeks, the little girl was smaller than the average kids of her age. Hearing Yan Mi, she lifted her eyes to look at her. Her eyelashes trembled vigorously as she stared at Yan Mi. 

"My mother will be upset." After observing Yan Mi carefully, she finally answered with her wobbly brittle tone.

Yan Mi squatted down to let the little girl have a clear view of her. She smiled and patted her head with her slender fingers.

"Your mom will be going on a long tour and she can not take you along. So, she asked aunt to take care of you until she returns. She won't be upset but happy." Yan Mi appealed to her.

The little girl was startled by the sudden affection of Yan Mi. She knew her hair was messy and the dress she was wearing was dirty and torn in a few places. Her ripped flip-flops were dirty to the point that even she can sense the stinky smell coming from it. While every other people ignored her and disdained her keeping a long distance from her, this woman actually squatted down and even patted her. She was touched by her gesture. It had been a long time since someone treated her with warmth. She started to cry hysterically at Yan Mi's attitude towards her.

Yan Mi embraced her and patted her back but the girl's cry only got louder and louder.

"If you keep crying like this, your mom will think I am treating you badly. Won't it upset her then?" Yan Mi helplessly said while embracing her gently.

The little girl seem to understood something as her cries slowly stopped and she rubbed her dirty face and runny nose with her long sleeves.

Yan Mi then stood up and lifted the little girl with her arms and left the hospital.

Under the bright sunlight the duo was shining brightly as they walk down the roadside. The little girl's tired eyes now seemed to held a beam of light in her eyes like the eyes of a person who found a new hope. The little girl stared at Yan Mi who was holding her and her face softened. As she stared at her, a sharp pain hit head like someone just stabbed a knife slightly at the back of head.

All the scenes blurred surrounding her and all she saw was a black as a 'pinggggggg' noise ran around her head.

The sharp pain caused Yan Shu to be jolted awake. She was sweating at a point that her clothes and the bed covers were wet. It felt like a 'deja vu'. 

She couldn't get it why she was having strange nightmares after transmigrating. Firstly, the dream felt so real that she could feel everything the little girl could feel. But she doesn't remember being there. Just like today's dream, she didn't had any scenes like this with her mother as long as she could remember. She wondered why her mother was asking for permission to be her mother and why was she calling another person mother. 

'Ding'

The notification bell pulled her out from her thoughts.

[Master : It should be delivered by now. Are you still sleeping, you pig!? ]

[Jr. Magus1 : No, I am awake. I was just about to go downstairs to check it.]

A smile curved up in her face as she typed down every word carefully. The pain she was feeling moment ago seemed to disappear by now only with that one message.

[Jr. Magus1: And also I am not a pig but more like a dry fish???] 

She sent another message probably wanting to annoy her Master.

Last night , she requested Dark Magus to give her some works as she was having a money crisis after buying herself. But internet, she was scolded to the point a she almost wanted to throw up and punch the old man's face. But sigh, she can only listen.

Dark Magus reprimanded for not keeping track with the constant changing technology world. The long eight years since she left the area, there's been a huge gap in the tech world at present. So how will she be able to perform any task without having any idea of it. Hence, Dark Magus ordered her to study and practice within one month and after assuring that she has catch up with the present technologies, only then will he give her tasks. Since, it was impossible for her to read so many books and also practice so many things within this short time, her master agreed to send his own notes to her to study which was quite unexpected as he had never taken the initiative to give his notes to any of the other nine apprentices of him, even after staying by his side all these years unlike Yan Shu.

Yan Shu was stunned at first but she felt graceful since he was still treating her the same even though she had disappointed him before.

Yan Shu hurriedly went to the bathroom before changing into a clean outfit and headed downstairs.

"You must be tired from yesterday. Why did you wake up so early?" Yin Yulin nagged Yan Shu as soon as she came downstairs who was currently drinking tea in the living room.

"I am fine, mom. The sleep was enough." She swept a glance over the spacious room but couldn't find the things.

"Isn't a parcel delivered for me?" She asked Yin Yulin.

"OH, that. I asked aunt Jiang to place it in your study room. It was so heavy that one person couldn't even lift it but the bulky delivery guy was carrying it so easily that I almost got fooled.What did you order?" Yin Yulin was reminded of the Parcel's arrival. The bulky Delivery guy made it look so light that Yin Yulin went to take it over from him only to be embarrassed.

Just as Yan Shu heard the name 'bulky guy', she knew it was Ron hence she laughed inwardly at Yin Yulin's description of him. Ron liked to workout apart from computer hence, he had made quite a body over the years. Even she was shocked to see his transformation that day cause the last time she saw him , he was thinner and timid than her. 

'It's really been a long time. We all have grown up so much.' She ignored Yin Yulin and rushed upstairs to check out the things her master had sent.

Inside the Study room

Yan Shu knew her master was weird but she didn't know he was more weirder than she thought him to be. Who knew that when he meant with his short notes were the stock of piles that could fill up a box in which two person like her can fit.

[Jr Magus1 : Are you sure these are the shortened notes?]

[Master : How dare you talk back to me!!]

[Jr Magus1: My bad, Master. Just don't forget to clear your schedule to attend my funeral after one month.]

She didn't get any reply this time. She took a picture of herself along with the notes and sent it to the group chat.

[Ash : My death is nearer.]

[Demi : Damn, Master agreed to give you his notes!! No, wait, he had already sent them to you.]

[Morgan : The lucky star of Magusloop.]

[Ron : The expression of her new god-mother, when I delivered them was hilarious.]

[Ben : Don't worry. I will be the first one to arrive in your funeral.]

[Ash : Don't forget to donate one million each.]

With that, the once dead gc was heated up.
