Xiao Yu could not understand what was happening to her. She knew that she had a tendency of getting stressed when the responsibility was put solely on her shoulders or when it came to Yi Long. At least with responsibilities she could find someone to assist her in the responsibilities however with Yi Long, there was no one else to share the frustrations with. He was so good at reading her that he was under her skin. She knew what she was risking when she agreed to join the excavation, but she made sure that she avoided him. Despite the confrontation that happened, she remained okay. She had been frightened but not stressed; fear and stress couldn't set her down the same path could it? So maybe it could make her snap but faint? She must have fainted because when she opened her mine, she had no idea where she was. She didn't even know how she got to where she was, or how she would have slept through it all.<br/><br/><br/>The scenery looked familiar, not in the sense that she seen it in a tv drama but as if she had been there. She realized that she was standing off to the side watching the bridge. It was just a bridge and yet it wasn't. She knew instinctively that she was in Yangzhou and she knew that she was waiting for someone. The bridge, it was special, she new it was early spring late winter when the plum blossoms were at there most resilient. She knew that the bridge itself was icy and therefore slippery. The street was calm and quiet with not very many people bustling about on that cold day. Xiao Yu tilted her head up to check if the next snowfall would come. It was late.<br/><br/><br/>That't's when she saw him. His face was everything. She knew him but also had never seen him in her life before. He was rushing to met someone. She didn't know who he was trying to meet but it made her anxious and confused. She recognized the feeling, it was the same one she felt when she started following Yi Long and realized that he was cheating on her. She took two steps forwards and stopped when he grabbed the rail with one hand while his other arm failing. She chuckled fighting back to urge to rush up to him and help. He probably wouldn't have received her well. The longer she watched him the more she felt the draw to approached him and just when her feet were carrying her forward. When she was thee or four steps away, everything changed.<br/><br/><br/>The person he'd been waiting for came. She was gliding on the thin frozen layer of ice in a wheelchair. Xiao Yu watched the two of them quizzically. Was this a Ming Dynasty tv drama being filmed in Yangzhou. Something made her think through and settled on Si Da Ming Bu, a well known and well liked fictional series based around historical events that was popularized in movies and television. The female reminded her of Wuqing, and she thought to herself that it would be an interesting choice to make one the four constables female like they chose in the film adaptations. Xiao Yu was genuinely excited that she somehow ended up on the set and took a step closer in hopes that she would hear the dialogue. The wind whooshed by her and she tried dropping down to avoid being blown into the actors.<br/><br/><br/>.....<br/><br/><br/>"Wuqing, you came." He stooped down and wrapped his arms around her.<br/><br/><br/>Xiao Yu opened her eyes and found herself sitting in the wheelchair. She was frightened that the man had his arms around her. The other thing that made her more afraid than anything else up until this point; she could not feel her legs. She looked at them and tried to move them, but they were unresponsive. She began to panicked.<br/><br/><br/>"Wuqing, what's the matter?" He asked pulling away. "You're not considering His Highness proposal are you?"<br/><br/><br/>What the fuck was he talking about? She wanted to say that to him but the words that were surprising to her. "An Bo, I came her to say that it's over between you and me." She watched his heart break and she was hearing her own begin to wither. The air around her felt chiller than it was before. She registered the first snowflakes. And all this time she thought that was just cinematic magic.<br/><br/><br/>"Wuqing, please don't." He was begging her. "You know you won't ever be happy."<br/><br/><br/>"Happiness has nothing to do with why i'm accepting." She looked away from him. She took a deep breath and then looked him straight in the eyes. "Do you honestly think i want to be with a loser like you?" She was going for the jungular. "You can't even score high enough. I need a man who can take care of me."<br/><br/><br/>"You don't really mean that, Wuqing. Tell me why you are doing this. I don't believe this is you." He tried to get a hold of her but she puled away and turned the chair with her mind. Holy crap, she was actually using her mind to control the movement of the wheelchair. She was telekinetic! "If you love Lengxie just tell me I know that he loves you and he could make you happy but I will not believe for one second that you love Taizi."<br/><br/><br/>She closed her eyes and focus on the thought of Lengxie, Tianshou and Zhuiming, her brothers. They were her family and she could never put her own happiness before their lives. She loved Lengxie, that was true but An Bo wold have to understand that he had her heart and if she could be with him for the rest of her days, she would but there were bigger things in her life that just love. Someday he would understand her choice and maybe that day he would forgive her.<br/><br/><br/>"Good bye." She forced herself to wheel off with the tears freezing on her face.<br/><br/><br/>-------------------------------<br/><br/><br/>Back in the modern day tomb, Yi Long slammed his fist into the makeshift walls of his office. He hired the American to help create chaos. This excavation was more important to him than any others. When he met Xiao Yu he was attracted to her because she looked like the one girl that he could not forget, the one girl that he was still trying to win her heart and her love. He'd been stupid when he thought he made a mistake when she finally gave in to him. His girl would have never given in that easy. It wasn't until after he lost Xiao Yu that she was the one he'd been looking for; living without was unbearable and only death could make him forget about her. However getting her back was not easy at all. She was just as stubborn this life time as she was back then. The biggest problem that he had now was that Milo was getting in the way of things. It was probably just an attempt on her part to make him jealous and it was working. At least the American wasn't her true love.<br/><br/><br/>"What happened in here?" He demanded not seeing Xiao Yu.
