Chapter 7: The Beauty of Frost

  "I have already examined her bones and veins, and based on the evidence of dripping blood, I can conclude that this girl has a extremely yin body and spirit. Those close to her will suffer from poverty and hardship throughout their lives, with no one to rely on. In severe cases... she is often plagued by bloody disasters, and will surely die an untimely death within a few years."

  Tong Xuan's heart was like a thousand ants gnawing at her, and she slumped weakly to the floor. She had no other thoughts in mind, only thinking about what would happen to Xiao Yan from now on?

  Xiao Yan listened to the master's words, looking at the lifeless Tong Xuan and the hateful Yang Xi who couldn't wait to leave. She let out a cold laugh from the bottom of her heart. What kind of joke is this? Is God really that cruel to himself, wanting him to spend his whole life alone? Recently, there was the bloodbath disaster... How could she bear to hurt the people around her? Ye Chen, Yang Xi, Tong Xuan, which one wasn't a concern in her heart? Now, they all have to leave. Suddenly, she felt like she was a jinx. Even the dead ghosts wouldn't let her go.

  Every scene that flashed before her eyes: her mother's exhausted and ill figure still rushing around; Yan Xi's painful struggle with an unknown hand grasping his neck; Ye Chen's worried expression in her own eyes... It seemed like she was the one who caused all of this, harming her mother to a life of poverty, nearly killing Yan Xi, it was all her fault.

  Xiao Yan desperately held back the tears that were about to burst out, her eyes stinging with sorrow. Tong Xuan looked at her daughter with a bewildered expression, and then asked the master in a pleading tone:

  "Master, you are all-powerful, can't you save my daughter? Think of a way?"

  The master swept his sleeves and passed by, without looking at Tong Xuan even once, shaking his head and saying:

  "It's fate, no matter how powerful I am, I can't change it. You, take care of yourself." After saying that, he walked out of the house directly, and Yan Xi grabbed his bag and hurriedly said to Tong Xuan:

  "Auntie, then... I'll go first, see you later." The sentence couldn't hide his fluster.

  He finished speaking and hurriedly rushed out of the door, as if there was a monster chasing after him relentlessly.

  Everyone has left, Xiaoyan fell to the ground, and the tears she had been holding back also fell down recklessly. Dripping onto the bloodstains on her palms, how desolate.

  Tong Xuan stood up and stroked Xiao Yan's long hair, which fell straight down like a waterfall. She held her in her arms, and without realizing it, tears flowed silently. Why did heaven have to play such tricks on this mother and daughter? In her heart, she loudly complained about the injustice of heaven, but what was the use? Tong Xuan wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, squatted down, and smiled at Xiao Yan:

  "Don't listen to that nonsense master, my daughter is fine. Those so-called spiritual masters are just talking nonsense, I don't believe them at all. Let's move house, move into a better house, and everything will be alright." She then gently wiped away the tears on Xiaoyan's pale face with her sleeve.

  Xiao Yan knew that Tong Xuan was comforting her, and she felt moved, guilty, happy, and sad, with all sorts of emotions mixed together, disturbing her heart. Xiao Yan knew that no matter when or where, no matter what happened, her mother would always be by her side, never leaving her, forever protecting her.

  Xiao Yan buried her head deep in her mother's arms, nodded, and the sadness in her heart burst out. She sobbed uncontrollably in the warm embrace, tears streaming down, shoulders shaking violently. Cry, it'll be better after crying.

  The mother and daughter hugged each other and wept, as if the whole world was forbidden like this.

  Backed by mountains and near the sea, the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the sound of waves hitting the beach is so clear. The sea breeze blowing in front blew up Yan Xi's black long skirt, revealing the slender white legs under the skirt.

  Yan Xi Zheng was standing on the balcony of his own villa, blowing in the sea breeze, and dialed a familiar number on his phone:

  "Hello, who is it?" Ye Chen on the other end of the phone was staring out the window in a daze, thinking that he wouldn't see Xiao Yan for two days over the weekend and feeling melancholy.

  "Ah, Ye Chen, that... I'm Yan Xi." As soon as he heard Ye Chen's pleasant yet slightly husky voice, Yan Xi became tense all of a sudden.

  "Anything?" Ye Chen replied coldly, not particularly fond of Xiaoyan's best friend, but had never expressed her dislike out of respect for Xiaoyan, always feeling that she was not as simple as she seemed on the surface.

  "Hmm... I have something to tell you, can we meet up and talk about it?" Yan Xi said hesitantly, his soft tone making one's heart feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

  "Not interested." No euphemism or deliberation, a single sentence of disinterest, rejecting people thousands of miles away, with no warmth.

  "It's about Xiaoyan, it's very important." Yanxi knew this would happen, but she was still unexpectedly hurt. Fortunately, she knew Ye Chen's weakness, as long as it was about Xiaoyan, he would be so concerned about everything.

  "Time and place." Ye Chen could hear that Yan Xi's tone wasn't baseless, if it was about Xiao Yan, then he must go.

  "At 2 pm, meet at the Lan Yi coffee shop near school." Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat with joy, having finally succeeded in getting Ye Chen to agree to come out. He was mentally rehearsing how he would handle things that afternoon.

  "Uh-huh." Ye Chen responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone.

  Yan Xi hadn't yet spoken the words "if we don't see each other, it's all over." The words got stuck in her throat, and she immediately put down her phone, smiled softly and said, "If we don't see each other, it's all over." After that, she took out various clothes from her closet and laid them on the bed, trying them on one by one, thinking about how to make herself look more beautiful and charming. But little did she know, no matter how beautifully dressed she was, if inside she had a heart full of malice, what was the point?
