Dinggg-dongggg-----
"Yes, wait a minute".
Hearing the sound of the bell ringing, Ariel immediately put the book she was reading into the shelf.
In no hurry he walked to the door.
Ckleek...
"Who is it...?".
The apartment door opened, and Ariel could clearly see the figure of the person standing outside the door.
"Hi!, long time no see My beautiful Lady~".
The person standing in front of the door was a tall and slender man. He had a face as handsome as a statue of a Greek God, with straight blonde hair that shone like the color of the Sun, dark green eyes like lake water, and a warm smile that always accompanied his gentle face
Ian Fayrisi, the younger brother of Brianna Scarlet, and Uncle Ariel.
Ariel was shocked. He did not expect his Uncle would arrive in China in such a fast time. He thought it would take him a long time to finish his job in France, book a ticket, and arrive in China.
Ariel's shock was soon replaced with happiness. A bright smile bloomed on her beautiful face. She enthusiastically greeted her uncle.
"During the day we didn't see you, Uncle Ian".
"Oh, I haven't seen you in a long time. Now you're an adult. You know, uncle misses you a lot. If you hadn't called me yesterday I thought you'd forgotten about your uncle". Knit Ian with a tone of voice that he made-up sad.
"Haha, how could I possibly forget my handsome Uncle". Ariel chuckled with Ian's joke.
"Aiyoo, what a sweet mouth. Well, as a compensation, give your uncle a hug~".
With both hands wide open Ian pulled his little nephew into his arms. Ian's head he placed rested on the top of Ariel's brown hair, and his hands wrapped around Ariel's monstrous body like a Koala.
In her uncle's arms, Ariel unwittingly drowns in the warmth of a family she thought was long gone. His agitated heart slowly calmed down, and he did not feel anxious anymore.
Ariel happily returned the embrace. He also had a small tiptoe, equaling the height of Ian and then gave affectionate kisses on both cheeks.
"Sorry, uncle. I should have called you earlier, so none of this shitty stuff is gonna happen to me".
Hearing the guilty tone of his little nephew, Ian shook his head, he said in a tone without objection, "It has all become the past, what has happened let it happen. What we need to think about now is the future. You can't judge the future by the reference of the past".
Ariel smiled wryly, but she still nodded her head understanding "Hmn, you're right Uncle".
"Good, so my sweet heart, do not be afraid. I will always be by your side".
Drowning his face in his uncle's boat, Ariel silently smiled broadly like a silly little boy who just got his favorite candy, "Really, uncle, thank you very much".
Takk...
"Aww.".", Ariel grimaced softly when she felt her forehead flushed.
"There's no 'Thank you' in our family dictionary, remember?".
"Haha, okay, I remember.ah yeah!, uncle come in first, it's very cold outside".
"Hoho, sure".

...(.(.Ariel's Living Room)...
The size of the living room in Ariel Apartment is not too large, but also not too small.
The floor is lined with a thick and warm rug, Cabriole-style sofa is chosen to make the atmosphere of the room more lively, the vase and fresh pink Hydrangea flowers are placed on the table, and there are also some shelves that contain novel books with various genres, such as fantasy, Roman, and horror.
The impression of someone after seeing the living room Ariel is a sense of amazement because of its comfortable and beautiful nuance, with high aesthetic and artistic value, exactly the same as the owner himself.
"I've taken a year off, so I can fully accompany you while monitoring your development".
After throwing his body on the soft sofa, Ian began to open the subject.
He had removed his brown coat and gray scarf, leaving only a white shirt and a creamed cardigan wrapped around his upper body.
Ian sighed in relief takala felt the heater start to work and reduce the cold that was attached to his body.
After putting her cup of dandelion tea on the table, Ariel also took a seat across the sofa.
Taking his cup of tea, Ian started sipping slowly.
"I think uncle will be busy, won't September be held Paris Fashion Week?, no Designer wants to recruit Uncle as their model?".
Inhaling the fragrant aroma of dandelion tea made Ian's nerves slowly relax. His tense brows also slowly loosened. Tiredness due to a long flight from Paris to China like it has been swept away, all that is left is drowsiness and of course a little hunger.
Putting the teacup on the table, Ian answered enthusiastically the question from his nephew.
"Of course, I wouldn't miss the Semaine des Createurs du Mode. Don't worry Sweetie~, your Uncle will definitely set aside a little time for the event, of course without forgetting to take care of you".
"Actually it doesn't matter, her Fashion Show is only a week right?. Uncle can go quietly to the event, and just let the nurse or nanny take care of me. Besides, it's not like Uncle wants to watch and help me in childbirth, is it?".
"Uhukk--!!", Ian coughed, almost spewing tea in his mouth into Ariel's face.
Ian sighed in his heart: His nephew never changes, he is always able to make the person he is talking to speechless, he said, at worst he might be able to make people vomit blood from ingesting his own emotions.
"The temperament is gentle and graceful, but the words that come out of his mouth are blunt. Her nature was somewhat similar to Scarlett's sister", Ian thought with a hint of nostalgia in his heart when recalling his late sister.
"What's Uncle?, are you okay?".
Ian casually glanced at his little nephew, and replied in a small 'Hmn' voice.
It happened in an instant, Ian's emerald green eyes immediately pinched sharply, the Angel-like smile on his face had now been replaced with an evil smile like Satan.
"Well, don't talk about my work anymore. Now let's get back to the topic".
"...???", a question mark appeared on Ariel's head
Ariel blinked her eyes and looked at Ian with an innocent smile.
With an innocent face he asked, "Huh?, what?".
Ian was completely unaffected by Ariel's innocent and innocent face. Her tender heart had long since been immune with a face of compassion and begging like that.
"Tell me everything, from beginning to end. And don't try to cover the slightest detail. Also tell your uncle this detailed description of your basta*dmu's ex-husband".
Ariel, ".....Haha".
...----------+++++----------...
He doesn't know who he is, where he is, and what he's doing.
Every step he took, and every path he walked, were all the same.
Dark, dull, and gloomy.
As far as his eyes could see there was only a dense darkness, endless despair, and an excruciating sense of loneliness and silence.
He had no idea how fast time had passed, and how long he had been in this place.
Every time the same question always popped into his head.
"Can I get out of here?".
Living in this place without being able to see anything made him feel like a blind man.
His emotional and moral limits were also tested in such a way that he slowly became tired and indifferent to the surroundings.
Caged in a cage of darkness slowly making his consciousness erode sharply, his originally indifferent heart began to fluctuate with extreme hatred.
All sorts of chaotic emotions and a primitive desire to fight, conquer, and slaughter began to be triggered.
It was not impossible to make him transform into mad like a wild beast if he continued to live in this place.
He always wanted to get out of here, he was already feeling tired and bored.
He also felt very uncomfortable living in this place.
The reason for the discomfort was not because he was afraid, but rather because he hated the feeling of being restrained and controlled.
And the other reason was because he did not want to become a beast, he did not want to become an ugly and hated beast!.
That was why he desperately needed a light, a light that could bring him out of this despair.
In the endless darkness, slowly appeared the shadowy figure of a beautiful woman in a white dress that wrapped her body.
The woman had long, curly brown hair, with eyes as green as emerald jewels, and a beautiful smile blooming on her white and pretty face.
The woman looked at him with her eyes shining like stars, she extended her white and slender hand towards him and whispered with her sweet voice.
The beautiful woman opened her cherry red lips.
"What are you waiting for, Fu JiChen....".
Tilting her head to the side, the brown-haired woman giggled while looking at her with a playful smile.
"Don't just stay there, come honey~".
"Come here, and..."
He was stunned by the call, subconsciously he began to move his legs. In a hurry he walked towards her.
The closer, the more slowly he got closer to the woman. And it only took a few more steps in being able to arrive in front of the woman, to pull her into her arms, and have her!.
When both of their hands were about to intertwine, something unexpected suddenly happened.
An extremely bright holy light suddenly appeared and struck his body.
He was very surprised, and subconsciously started shouting.
"Aaaaakkk-!!!"
Before losing consciousness completely, he could still hear the last sentence the brown haired woman spoke.
The woman told him to...
"Wake up !!!".
...----------+++++----------...
"....What!!!".
Inside the darkness of the hospital ward, a pair of jet-black eyes opened wide in shock.
"Huh.huh..."
The owner of the pair of black eyes was panting with a breath of tightness and obvious discomfort written on his face.
The man's brows furrowed, like he was holding something sickening. Both of his hands clenched the blanket tightly, clearly his emotions were greatly shaken.
However, it did not take long for the man to master his emotions and control his body.
The shock in his eyes instantly disappeared and was replaced with indifferent coldness and calmness.
"Hahh, same dream again".
The man let out a long sigh as if he was thinking of something complicated.
It had been two days since Fu JiChen woke up from his coma. Since waking up from a coma until now he has always been disturbed by the appearance of a woman in his dreams
Fu Jichen stared at the window where the shining stars dotted the night sky.
"Who are you?".
With an almost flat face, Fu JiChen asked in silence.
Silence.and no one answered of course.
Fu JiChen felt extremely uneasy, he could not calm down the curiosity and curiosity that was already flesh blood in his heart and soul.
Without the answer he wanted, Fu JiChen felt as if his soul was empty and his heart was in pain.
Ever since waking up from a coma she had always thought of the woman, the figure of a beautiful woman with long curly brown hair and beautiful emerald green eyes.
The woman was like a holy light-bearer angel that God sent to destroy her nightmares.
Fu JiChen still clearly remembered how the woman looked when she was smiling, laughing, or frowning.
How she danced in the flower field just for him, singing like a canary just to cheer him up.
He freely extended his hand, shook his body and told him to get up.
No one knew how much Fu JiChen was eager to meet the woman, the woman he didn't even know her name, or her whereabouts were real or not.
However, no matter what, clearly only one thing occurred to Fu JiChen's head.
"I miss you, love you, and want to see you, beautiful woman with eyes as bright as the stars".
