Since Golden Heights has been one of the well-off societies of Qiging city, famous for having rich residents from the entertainment circle, its architecture and interiors have also been drawn well. Each floor is comprised of one flat that has been kept solely aloof from the others to ensure the privacy of the residents.
Stepping out of the elevator, Yun Meiyi looked around to find the door of the house just in front of her. As mentioned in the message earlier, there were two bamboo plants on both sides of the door. Walking to them, she checked. Under the right one, there was no key. She checked towing the left pot after and there it was, the key to open the door of the house.
Her lips curved up slightly as taking her phone out, she texted back on the same number with the picture of the key. "Got it under the left pot. Don't be too reckless with such things. Remember it the next time." The moment the message was sent out, the reply came out instantly as if the person on the other side was just waiting for her message all this while.
"I can't dare to be reckless. Not any longer. Let's not talk more today. Rest well. You might have had a hectic day. You need sleep so, sleep well, my precious."
Yun Meiyi read that message once and didn't bother with it any longer. Keeping her phone back inside her bag, she opened the door of the house next before walking inside and locking the door behind her. The lighting system was automated, so the moment she stepped inside the house, the place was instantly brightened.
Yun Meiyi looked around; the place was spacious enough. Just with the view of the living space, she could say that even the bathroom of this place would be bigger than the room she used to stay in at Yun Mansion.
The moment she entered the place, the pain of regret and betrayal that once had dissipated from her heart started kicking in again. All this while, she thought that it got over after she left severing her ties with Jiaqi at the party, but it was only now she realized that ending something was not as easy as it is said to be. The pain that came from it was indescribable.
Squatting with the pain her heart was suffering from, she didn't even realize it when she passed out. But it was only after she fell asleep, did her tears stopped. Otherwise, the streaks coming out from her eyes seemed limitless, the same as her pain.
While on the other side, the cab that had earlier driven Yun Meiyi to the Golden Heights took an unusual direction and maneuvered its way towards the hills. Driving it until it was possible, it pulled up at the beginning of the forest.
The driver got out of the car and then locking the door, he took a walk up the hills. The route to reach the peak was uneven, making it hard for any human to walk smoothly on the road, still oddly for some reason, the driver was very comfortable walking on it. His movements didn't come briskly rather he walked all straight and perfect as if he was walking just any other road, smoothed out for one's comfort.
After walking for some while, soon the driver got up at his destination where a man standing with his back towards him, looking down at the world like it was a small terrain that could easily get captured in his deep-set of amber eyes. "This Earth is so small in comparison to the created galaxy, yet all the secrets of this universe are graved here, on this Earth. Isn't this quite strange, Ozul?"
The man suddenly asked and the driver behind at once bowed his head in respect to say, "My King! This servant's soulless body bows to you in honor. Please accept it." He said and the man turned around with a small smile.
His gaze held the seriousness that could easily make anyone's heart palpitate in fear. "Your soulless body, Ozul? You have gotten so beautifully under the skin of a human, who would doubt that inside that skin there is no soul actually."
The driver didn't raise his eyes, instead kept his head down to say, "It was the order of the king, this servant has to follow."
The man smiled, getting satisfied with his servant's response. But he didn't say anything to appreciate it, instead, he turned to look back at the scenery of the night to ask, "So how did it go? Did you drop her at her place safely?"
The driver nodded, "Yes, as you have ordered, my king, I have dropped her off at a safe place but I couldn't be sure if that was her place or not since before selecting the destination, she looked quite puzzled about it. But you don't have to worry; like my name, I would always be in the shadows to keep her protected. She would always be in our sight so that no angels come to manipulate her human brain."
As the driver said that, the man didn't say any word for a good moment of time but then his lips curled up on the corners after a short while as smiling, he said, "Manipulate her! She seems tough enough to keep every manipulation around in check. We won't have to worry about that one thing. Look into her safety more. Although shielding a human has been the job of guardian angels from the heavens, I never considered my demons to be any less. Am I right, Ozul?"
"My King, you have treated us better than anyone. We would always remain there to protect the lady." He said and the next second, bowing, he also disappeared in the thin air.
While the man stared down the little world once again, as if he was looking at the kingdom that has always remained too small for his consideration. He has been living on Earth for more than a century now. But until today, he never had the time to get a view of it like this. Now that he was looking, he could say, this pretty world was not that bad for his consideration. After all, this world had her. The answer to his every query.
