The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise

Running after the naked truths, all of us still are yearning for a well-dressed lie. Because truths are scary. They always had been. And it will always stay like that.

For Ren, it was nearly impossible to believe that his sworn brother could be the girl he had been waiting for all this time. Honestly, the possibility didn’t even cross his mind. But in his mind, he couldn’t deny that the handwriting was the same. He could never be mistaken about that.

He still remembered that day vividly...

*Flashback*

After staying out for a couple of days when he had gone back to the hospital, what awaited him was an empty bed and a cold room. Xiao Zhi Ren didn’t know what happened. How could a visually impaired person vanish on her own? Especially when she couldn’t even walk anymore!

He was anxious and frustrated.

"Who discharged her?" Xiao Zhi Ren was looking for an answer. He needed something to hold on to. He couldn’t lose her again.

"Sir, it was a tall man who came to discharge her. He did all the paperwork and left." The nurse informed him politely. She was surprised... herself. Since the person who had been with the patient in the VIP room was Xiao Zhi Ren for the past year and now, suddenly another man came and took the patient with him.

"Any name? Address? Anything?" Xiao Zhi Ren was infuriated. He was the one who brought her here. How could they let anyone take her? But he knew if she consented the hospital couldn’t possibly stop her.

"Actually, there is something..." Xiao Zhi Ren looked at her with a glimmer of hope. The nurse pulled out a small box and gave it to him. "She left this for you."

"She said something?" He inquired while holding the wooden box.

The nurse shrugged her shoulders, "She only asked to give this to her savior. I assume that is you since no one else visited her in this whole year."

Xiao Zhi Ren nodded and took the box with himself.

He only opened it after finding a quiet place for himself to sit at.

In the wooden box laid two things; one was the pendant with pure jade and rubies. And the other was... A letter.

It read:

"Mr. Savior,

Oddly, I still don’t know your name. You never told me and I never asked. I guess it was for the better.

The pendant with you is my identity token. Keep it safe until I come to claim it back. It’s collateral because I still owe you a debt of life. And I for one don’t like owing people.

But I can’t pay you back just yet. I have to leave. I have to look for myself all over again. I have to look for the pieces, people stole from me. I told you, ’I can conceive death but betrayal is not allowed.’

Confucious say: ’Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.’

Although I’m not looking for revenge, I’m still the kind of person who likes to keep an empty grave prepared for herself. You never know. Therefore, just as a reminder, I’m telling you... I might never get back to you.

If I never come back to take my pendant, do me a favor... Throw it in the ocean.

I always wanted freedom and it came as a price. Perhaps, my pendant could enjoy the freedom in the beauty that lies under the blue sea.

From,

The girl you named, A Fallen Angel"

*End of Flashback*

The content of the letter was very simple. But Xiao Zhi Ren had read so many times that it was etched in his memory now. He knew each and every stroke of that letter since he always traced his finger over each character just to find the familiarity of her presence.

That’s why Ru’s handwriting came as a shock to him. He could be wrong, he kept convincing himself but a part of him didn’t believe it. Not even for a second. There were endless possibilities in his mind and each possibility made him uneasy.

He found Ru leaving the mall and ran after her. He saw her extending her hand toward a blonde haired man and the man placed keys on her hand. After that, he gave her the helmet.

From inside the glass doors, he saw her climbing on a motorbike and driving away. Five different motorbikes followed after her.

Xiao Zhi Ren frowned for a second and decided to ask her later on. But the uneasy feeling in his heart got the best of him as he ran towards his own car and immediately followed after speeding bikes.
