Some say the rising of the sun signifies a new beginning. That it"s a sign that what happened yesterday is now a mystery and for us to keep moving forward with our lives. While others see that as a brand-new day and a refreshing new start in life, for Elizabeth it was torture.
Not a day she felt so drained and exhausted from all the vivid dreams she was having. She was suffering from all sorts of pain, trying to understand whether she was just having a dream or regaining another piece of her memory back.
Elizabeth was staring blankly at the ceiling. A few days have pa.s.sed by and the tour promotion was about to come to an end. She was unable to sleep last night after the torturous dream she was having.
"Did I really kill them?"
She raised her hands above and twirled it around. She imagines her beautiful white hand covered in blood as the blood drip down to her face. How she wished to scream in horror but it seems her heart has turned stone-cold.
"Why hasn"t Jackie called me yet, hasn"t she found Scott."
Elizabeth got out of her bed before releasing a heavy sigh. She turned around and grab her phone on top of her bedside drawer. Whilst she was heading downstairs, she scanned the latest news online.
Rumors of her and Jayden continues to spread. At least, the rumors also helped promote the movie since Jayden continued to visit her during their promotion tour.
As she was heading to the kitchen, it startled her when she heard the doorbell ring, and that someone came to visit her so early in the morning.
"I wonder who could it be?"
She didn"t bother checking on the monitor screen and instead head straight to the door. When she opened the door, her mouth was shut close and the words couldn"t escape. "Wha..."
"Li Zi, good morning."
Stood in front of her was Feng Xiaotong. Who was dressed in a casual but refreshing winter"s attire. He looked handsome wearing his navy blue jumper and black scarf.
Elizabeth was in a daze and didn"t know what to say. She stood staring at the man in shock to see him standing in front of her house so early in the morning.
"Are you not going to invite me in?" Feng Xiaotong spoke, seeing the girl seems to be out of herself.
She could only nod her head and allowed the man to pa.s.s by her and enter her house. She closed the door and shook her head in bewilderment of what was happening.
"Am I dreaming?" She asked herself.
Elizabeth followed after and went to check on Feng Xiaotong who stood waiting for her by the lounge area.
"President Feng, what are you doing here?"
"Am I not allowed to visit you?" Feng Xiaotong asked as he went closer to the girl.
"I mean you can, but... But why are you here? It"s only 6 in the morning." Elizabeth responded after checking the time on the wall clock.
"I wish to have breakfast with you if you don"t mind."
"Breakfast?" Elizabeth was dumbfounded and couldn"t comprehend what Feng Xiaotong is on about.
"Yes, have a meal with you. Have breakfast together, to start the day together. The most important meal of the day."
No matter how much Feng Xiaotong tried to explain. Elizabeth couldn"t get a sense of things. What she didn"t understand is why Feng Xiaotong suddenly wishes to have breakfast with her. It was normal for them to have lunch, tea or dinner together. But breakfast, at her place... So early in the morning.
"President Feng, let me get this straight. You want to have breakfast at my place. Right now? You want me to cook breakfast?" Elizabeth explained all the information she gathered together.
"Of course not, I"ll be cooking for you. Whilst you go get yourself ready. If you allow me to borrow your kitchen, I"ll prepare breakfast for us. I"ll just go down and get the stuff in my car." Feng Xiaotong smiles innocently as if he has no hidden meaning as to why he"s suddenly cooking and spending time with the girl.
"Wait, wait... WHAT?!" Elizabeth felt like someone suddenly poured ice-cold water on her. She cannot put her finger on what was going on. "Wait? You, you want to cook for me? President Feng, can you even cook. I mean... No offense, but I can"t have my own boss cook for me."
Feng Xiaotong flicks his finger on the girl"s forehead. He beamed his disappointment that the girl had been calling him "President Feng" since he arrived when they"ve been friends for a long time. "I"m not just your boss you know. I"m also your friend. Also, can you stop with the President thing... It"s just you and me here."
Elizabeth rubs her forehead where the man flicks her. She frowned at him confused as to why he suddenly did something like that. She let it be for now and inquired. "Xiaotong, have you eaten something bad? Are you sick? Wait, don"t tell me... Did your sister turn back to her evil side again and you"re here to ask for my help."
"You..." The ray of light surrounding Feng Xiaotong vanished as he turned cold and hostile towards the girl.
"I"m sorry." Elizabeth immediately apologizes sensing the air in the room drastically change all of a sudden. "Fine, but President... I mean, Xiaotong, be honest... Why are you here so early in the morning. I know you said you wanted to have breakfast with me, but why all of a sudden. I mean, did your parents kick you out or something. I"m sure the people back in your home can make you a delicious breakfast."
Feng Xiaotong caressed the girl in the head before smiling at her. "Let"s just say, I"m fighting for what"s mine."
"Fighting for what"s yours?" Elizabeth was confused about what he meant, instead of pondering on things she directly asked him. "What do you mean? What does having breakfast has to do with what"s yours and what does it have to do with me?"
"Don"t worry, it"s better to let time answer all the questions." Feng Xiaotong answered as he headed out of the girl"s apartment to get the grocery he brought with him.
Elizabeth was taken aback by what Feng Xiaotong said for Huang Ming said the same exact word.
To let time answer all the questions.
"What could that possibly mean and what does it have to do with me?" Elizabeth murmured to herself as she gathers her thoughts together.
However, the more she thought about it the more her mind went blank. Anyway, it was only six in the morning, and she hasn"t even had her daily dose of caffeine to kick start her day.
"Whatever, I"ll go make us some coffee instead."
Elizabeth went ahead and boiled some water. Whilst she was waiting for the water to boil, another memory sudden came into her mind.
"Hey Liz, want me to cook breakfast for you?"
"Can you even cook?"
"Haha, my dear Liz, I"ll be your future husband, of course, I know how to cook."
"How sure are you that I"ll even marry you? You"re so old already!"
"My dear, age is but a number."
"Whatever, I"m sure we won"t see each other after I finish my mission. Who knows, I might find someone much better than you in the future."
"My dear, I"m handsome, smart, tall and what else can you ask for. I may not be as successful as your dad but at least... I"m as handsome as him."
"Don"t you dare compare yourself to my father. My dad is the best."
"Fine, fine... But anyway, do you want breakfast or not. Because I"m hungry."
"Fine, you better not burn the toast like last time. Or else..."
Elizabeth"s reminiscing of her memory was shortened when she heard the kettle whistling. She stared blankly at the kettle and couldn"t react at first.
"I wonder who the person is?" she asked herself as she went ahead and turned down the flames and poured the hot water onto her cup. She then make some coffee and tea for herself whilst thinking about the memory she just regained.
"Could he be the person, I mean, the reason why I removed my memory in the first place?"
Elizabeth has so many unanswered questions lately, and what Feng Xiaotong said early struck her again. She smiled finding herself ridiculous. "I"m time all unanswered questions will be answered."
