She dropped the phone beside her and returned her attention back to the screen. Her smile faltered slightly and her gaze turned colder as she grabbed her phone again. She clicked on a tab and but on her bluetooth earphones.
Soon enough, she called out, "Hey, Anne."A vibrant voice rang out almost immediately and it seemed to make the cold glint in Mo Xin Er's eyes diminish. "Phantom. Did you get my email?""Yeah. I just saw it." Mo Xin Er replied as she returned her focus to the interface. "Is this true?"Anne groaned from the other side of the receiver, "Damn you, Justin. I swear I'm gonna make sure I milk you dry tonight." Mo Xin Er couldn't help but chuckle lightly at her words. She had always known her friend was very simpleminded. Probably, it was one of the reasons they seemed to click. But to think of it, she seemed to be clicking with all sorts of people these days. With a light tone, Mo Xin Er asked, "Is Justin there?" But what answered her waFan Liuying gasped – Yu Ran? What was she doing in her dorm. To taunt her?Mo Xin Er looked at the girl who seemed to have just came out of a glitter store considering that she was all donned in glittery attire. The shiny light coming from her clothes threatened to blind her."What do you want?" she finally asked taking a protective stance by the side of the door. She didn't want her to see Fan Liuying in such a state.It seemed the other girl disdained for she looked her up with a glare. Seeing that she didn't care enough to explain why she was at their door, Mo Xin Er gave her a penetrating glare and prepared to shut the door.Yu Ran bit her lips with frustration. She groaned, "Where is Fan Liuying?""Why do you want to see her?""How is that your business?" Yu Ran hissed. She was beginning to find this showdown annoying. How dare someone who wasn't even fit to dust her shoes talk to her like this? She would definitely remember to deal wit
About an hour later, Mo Xin Er sat in front of Fan Liuying's desktop, her gaming console in hand. She put on her headphones and plugged in a mouse. The interface flipped and a game cover covered the screen. An EDM music flowed into her ears through the earphones matching the current interface.She wondered, 'It's been a while since I played Villain's Abode. Who knows, there might be a good competitor this time.'She typed in her user ID and password before leaning back and clicked enter.A string of words that read, 'WELCOME BACK TO WSR A, PHANTOM' appeared on the screen.She was about to place her hand on the mouse when strings of messages exploded on the screen.Big Nick: Eh... Phantom is online.TsoRukshi: NEWS FLASH! The King is online. King is online.Player#25: You guys should come online. Phantom is online.Big Nick: It seems there will be lots of dead bodies in today's war *grins*She grinned and outstretched her slend
When she looked back at the screen, she had seen that everyone had began to move towards their respective positions. She also picked her pace and made her way towards her position too.What Mo Xin Er liked the most about the game was the way it always felt as if she was in a real war zone. As she gazed at the tall pyramid shaped building that stop fairly two kilometers away from her, she felt like an assassin on a mission.She couldn't see most of the other players avatars anymore; they must have gone far ahead. She made her way towards the attic, her black cape dancing in the wind. Her steps were light and nimble as she scoured through the empty alley leading towards the attic.She was about to step in through the large gates of the attic when she sensed movement from inside. She quickly hid behind a wall and watched as one of the vanguards march past her, not noticing her standing her behind on if the walls. The avatar then proceeded again to wall through the
Mo Xin Er woke up a few hours later, she could hear Fan Liuying talking to someone in the other room. Ignoring the slight headache that seemed to be taking over her whole head, she scrambled out of bed, her phone falling on its face onto the cold floor. Letting out a few curses, she bent down slightly and grabbed the phone from the floor. It wasn't broken; just a little scratches here and there. Her legs wobbled as she made her way to the door, turning the knob and slid out of the room.She had barely made it out when her head suddenly felt heavy, her legs trembling and she hurriedly grabbed hold of the door knob to steady herself. At that moment, Fan Liuying's room door opened and Fan Liuying stepped out, beaming slightly.When she saw Mo Xin Er who looked weary and on the verge of collapsing, the smile stiffened on her face. Nearly tripping, she rushed over to her, gripping her by the shoulders. Worry encased her face as she helped her to one of the sofa.&nbs
Westwing Court, Guangzhou.12th Apr, 2016 The conference room turned quiet as a tall man dressed in a cashmere coat walked in. His lips were pressed tightly and he oozed of charm and strictness as he made his way to the main seat. Sitting around the round table, were elites old enough to be his father but they all stopped chattering the moment he took his seat.“How is it?”A man with a scruff beard got up and bowed before walking towards the BenQLK95 projector placed at a corner of the room. He fixed some things and an overhead lens slid down.“Boss, it's done”Their gazes were all focused on what was being displayed and the room was quiet except for the tapping sounds of the tall man knocking his fingers on the table and the man explaining things.“Has Dr Liuren confirmed that she is good to go?”“Yeah. Everything is ready.”“What about the home and the mother?”“Ready.”“Hm. Okay? We're launching in two days.”He got up an
“Hey.”“Hi.”“What’s your name?”She pursed her lips but considering that his father had helped her when she was down, she let down her guard a little. The family seemed to be nice after all. And she was hoping they would let her stay with them. She had nothing to eat after all and she wasn’t stupid enough to reject help when being granted.“Mo Xin Er”“Mo? We share the same family name? Are you a distant cousin. Ah…. I’m Mo Yuan”“Oh..”“I like your pair of eyes. It's blue.”She went silent for some time before looking up at him again. His eyes were pure and the held no animosity compared to others. Ever since middle school when she had learned to understand people, she was fairly aware that most were averse to the color of her eyes. Most of her peers called her a freak. And she had gotten used to blending perfectly in the crowd and hiding herself away from people.“Thank you” And she totally meant it!!“Which school do you go to? I’m from Qing Yu High
“Hello sister you'll be stuck with me for a while.”She whispered “What are you doing? You are attracting attention”He grinned again and the urge to wipe the smirk off his face grew bigger. She sighed, deciding to ignore him. The teacher walked in and her attention was successfully diverted.Minutes after the class, Mo Yuan went off to his group of friends while she sat for a while. Her emotions in disarray. She signed the adoption papers the day before and legally became a part of their family. She couldn’t deny that as much as it pleased her, she was baffled. Who in their right minds would adopt someone they knew nothing about. Maybe, they investigated her but still…. Anyway, she would accept things has they come.“Mo Xin Er. Earth to Mo Xin Er!” She heard and jolted from her thoughts, seizing the hand holding her arm. She sighed when she looked beside her and saw Yun Miaomiao looking at her earnestly.“What’s wrong?”“erm… You and Mo Yuan. What is b
“You don’t like her?” she asked, glancing at the young man.He snorted showing his disgust.“I don’t like her. She's too materialistic and proud”“Most boys in school like her. She is the school belle”“They don’t see her true colors. She tried to coax my friends into setting me up with her”“I don’t like her one bit” One of his friends grunted from behind....…Aim!Dodge!!Shadow!!!Array!!!!The sound of fists bumping resonated across the training room. A man stood on the stairs in his fitness attire and his hands fixed behind his back as he watched satisfactorily. It’s been five months since her adoptive father signed her and Mo Yuan up in a fitness school. She learned karate and taekwondo but surprisingly, she easily got the hang of it. She could fend off most of her opponents without worry that even the trainer seemed to believe she must have had a few lessons before.“Okay, enough. Pick your partn
