"Jia Li 2"
9

Currently Jia Li was sitting by the lake with Mo An, discussing about the rumors circulating lately.

"what are the rumors in this palace ?" jia Li was upset. Jia Li had always been herself when she was with Mo An.

"uhuh... Your reputation's getting worse, they're making up stories 'you're teasing the 3rd prince" Mo An said 

"do you believe ?" jia Li asked as she looked at Mo An with investigating eyes. 

"..." - ".Mo An just kept quiet. Then he bowed his head not daring to look at Jia Li, as if to show that he believed all the rumors circulating.

Jia Li who saw it looked at his best friend with a surprised face, he could not believe what he saw. He did not understand how his best friend could be so narrow-minded, and unreasonable.

"where might I tease her, just look at my face and this body. I'm not pretty and there's nothing interesting where maybe she's interested in me. The 3rd prince was close to me just because I was smart no more, and our relationship was only limited to servants and employers. I have no more intentions !  I never even had the delusion to climb into his bed, let alone into his heart !. I know myself...!" jia Li said with emotion.

Because it was too emotional Jia Li wanted to hit something so that without realizing it he hit the tree next to him with his hands.

"ah..." Jia Li groaned as his hand felt very sore, he did not know if the bark of the tree had sharp enough thorns.

"be careful-hat.." Mo An's speech came to a halt.

"i'm disappointed in you ! I thought you'd always trust me because we're best friends. All this time only you are closest to me and know me better than anyone, apparently I was wrong. Maybe it was only me who wished too much on you" after saying that Jia Li ran away leaving Mo An. Jia Li's heart was truly sad.

From the beginning Jia Li met Mo An, she had thought that Mo An was a very kind and trustworthy girl. From the beginning Jia Li came to this era only Mo An was always by his side, he thought Mo An was his best friend, but it seemed that only Jia Li thought so. It hurt Jia Li's heart. 

Mo An could only be speechless, he looked at Jia Li who was getting further away miserably. He did not expect Jia Li to consider him a friend and trust him so much, regret came and Mo An condemned his mistake.

Elsewhere Wang Xuemin was riding with her brother, Wang Chunying. Surely they were not both, they were followed by bodyguards guarding them. They rode in a meadow not far from the city.

Wang Chunying looked handsome with her white riding suit. His appearance is more perfect by riding a black horse that looks strong and dashing. Wang Xuemin was wearing a dark red riding suit. He rode a dark brown horse that was no less powerful and dashing with Wang Chunying's horse. They are both gods.

Wang Chunying rode the horse very quickly, while Wang Xuemin caught up with him behind. Wang Xuemin tried hard to chase after his brother, he wanted to defeat Wang Chunying who was an expert in horse riding. But when he reached the stop, Wang Xuemin still could not defeat his brother. Although Wang Xuemin could not defeat his brother, but he was quite satisfied because his riding ability was much better than before. After being satisfied playing the horses Wang Chunying and Wang Xuemin and starting to feel tired they went to the riverbank to rest.

"i hear you're enamored with the waiter ?" wang Chunying. He looked at his sister with a dirty smile.

"since when did you hear cheap gossip ?" Wang Xuemin looked at her brother in disbelief.

"hem... Just happened to hear. So then... What's she like ?" Wang Chunying looked at his ignorant sister.

"she is not beautiful yet attractive, very mature, and smart. If you chat with him, surely 1 hour will not be enough" said Wang Xuemin. 

"wahs... I'm getting curious. Can I go to your place ?" Wang Chunying looked at her sister with probing eyes, she wanted to know if her sister really did not have any more feelings with her own servant. 

Wang Xuemin was silent, but in the end he answered ".yes ...by" but from his words he looked uncertain.

Wang Chunying had not been to his sister's residence for long, it was because he was busy looking for the girl who saved him.  Wang Chunying was even almost desperate to look for him. While Wang Xuemin himself spent more days in his palace, the thing that made Wang Chunying curious.

Elsewhere Jia Li ran as fast as possible towards the back garden in the 3rd prince residence. His eyes had turned red and were already teary from enduring the cries, he really felt very disappointed and his heart was hurt. Jia Li ran to the back of the big tree, sat there then covered his face with his hands. That was when her tears that she had been holding back from earlier now came down, Jia Li cried without a sound.

In his old life, Jia Li was always pampered by his parents, and surrounded by friends who loved him and always believed in him. But in this life, Jia Li was completely alone and the most painful thing was that the person he thought of as a friend apparently did not consider him. Jia Li felt being played with by fate.

"i.m going home" murmured Jia Li in despair.

That was all Jia Li wanted, but no matter how hard he looked for a way home, he found no way. There is only a dead end. It had been almost half a year that Jia Li existed in this age, and he who had always been calm and strong began to feel despair. Who was in his position would definitely be desperate, how could Jia Li not lose his family, friends, possessions, position, career, everything. Everything.

Jia Li's cry came to a halt when he heard the sound of birds. Jia Li then looked for the origin of the sound, it was not far from him sitting there was a baby bird. The young bird looks very beautiful with a very small size, and its feathers are blue and yellow. The chicks are like falling from its nest Jia Li thought. Jia Li looked up at the tree and sure enough, on top of the tree was a bird nest. 

Jia Li felt sorry for the bird, for some reason he thought that the bird had the same fate as him.

"hi. Do you want to go home ?" jia Li asked the bird.

Jia Li took the young bird gently, then placed it in his slightly loose pocket so that the bird would not get hurt. After making sure the chicks were safe, Jia Li started climbing the tree. I don't know where to climb a tree, but he has never climbed a tree in his life. After arriving at the top of the tree Jia Li immediately returned the chick to its place, but it was only a few minutes that the bird was in place where the bird again jumped out of the cage and wanted to save it but failed. Jia Li was afraid, he was afraid that something might happen to the bird, but unexpectedly the bird instead flew, flying higher and higher. Jia Li who saw that realized something.

The bird seemed to tell him something, even if you fell, and had no one to ask let alone ask for help, it was not the end of everything. With effort and hard work despite falling many times, but one day can fly, flying high above the sky like a bird earlier.

"if the chick can rise from the brink, why can't I. I can definitely fly free and find my own happiness in this world" Jia Li said with a confident smile. Yes, he will find his happiness. 

Just as Jia Li was about to descend, he only realized that the scenery on the tree was very beautiful. He did not expect the residence of the 3rd prince to be quite beautiful when viewed from a height. After being satisfied to look at the scene, Jia Li was about to descend from the top of the tree, but he slipped to the ground. 

"ah.." Jia Li groaned as his body landed on the ground, but luckily he had no serious injuries just a slight pain in his right leg alone. It's just that his clothes got really dirty. 

Jia Li limped towards his room. He wanted to bathe and treat the wounds on his right palm and right foot. But just as Jia Li was about to enter the room a servant came and said that the 3rd prince called out to him. 

"all right I'll be there, I want to change clothes first" said Jia Li.

"you really don't know yourself. Do you want to make the prince wait ?. Being about your favorite waitress doesn't mean you can act disrespectfully by making her wait !" the waiter was angry.

Jia Li who heard that could only be patient. He knew all the servants were hostile to him now, if the 3rd prince hated him then he would be finished.

"alright, I'll be there" Jia Li said in the end.

"Truly bad day" Jia Li murmured.
