Few days later, all of them met once again on the deck. This time Feng keenly observed the atmosphere between Yubiri and the twins if by any change they showed hostility or anger she planned to distance herself from Yubiri.
This was the harsh reality. Because Yubiri was strong and he was set to be a main character who falls in love with Clarina. They have crossed her and already problems had arose between the twins and the mage.
âIt is better to distance myself now when Iâm younger....â
Feng glanced at Yubiri, who was silently watching the waves.
âHe is my friend..... I canât just put some distance between us for no reason, can i?...â she held her cheeks and contemplated on the problem.
Aiden and Ethan ran back to her with a small flower in hand.
âWow, so pretty,â she touched its soft petal. âWhere did you guys find it?â
.....
âSecret~ come down,â Aiden gently pulled her down to his height and placed it in her small bun.
âDoes it look good?â Feng feared touching it will destroy the flower, so she just adjusted the flying rogue hair bits.
Ethan smirked widely. âYou look so beautiful,â
âAww, my babies are so cute. I missed these talks, you know. Nowadays all we think about is practice,â she pouted, hugging them both close to her.
Elle also scooted close. âBut we are of correct age. If we temper our bones now, we might became great warriors in the future,â
Feng Mei softly smiled. âI donât want to be a great warrior. I just want to be able to protect the ones I love.â her hands tightened on the two.
Ethan suddenly kissed her cheeks. âI will protect you will all I have, Feng. So donât strain yourself. You are the most important person in my life,â
âHey, what about me?!â Aiden shouted from other side and slightly slapped his shoulders.
âYou come second,â
âboo hoo. Feng he said Iâm second. Fine, you are second as well. Feng is my first.â Aiden put his tongue out.
Ethan playfully smacked him.
Elle saw them bickered with an unknown look. She jumped down, tottered close to the Yubiri and tugged his pants. âAm I your first?â
âFirst in what?â Yubiri glanced down with his brows raised.
âPriority?â
âNo,â he coolly looked away into the horizon.
âWow, you hurt me. You could have lied, you know,â Elle pouted, clinging to his arms. âBut I will not give up. I will one day became beautiful and become your first priority.â
Yubiri chuckled dryly. âThat wonât happen,â
âYou will see. It will happen. Because I see it.â Elleâs forehead was slightly shimmering red and the mystical signs were glowing.
Yubiri peered at her intently. âIs that why you got close to me.... sigh..â he squatted down. âKid, the future is not stable. It can change anytime.â
âNot my predictions. Itâs fine if you donât believe me now. But donât forget my challenge. One day I will be your first,â she said confidently and walked back to her friends.
Yubiri watched her with an unknown look. âThat is impossible. I will never change,â
Elle just smiled at him childishly and started to bicker with the twins.
Yubiriâs heart started to pound weirdly. He clenched his fist tightly. âIt is not possible. That future will not happen at all. Never.â
Without a word, he walked back into his room.
Feng just glanced up to see Yubiri missing. Taking this chance, she pulled the twins even closer. âHey did you both resolve your problem with him?â
Ethan just scoffed.
Aiden, on the other hand, smiled widely. âWe somehow talked...â
âAnd?â
âAnd we talked it out. We are still not that close. I donât know if we can trust him yet,â he said with a slight frown.
âWhy do you say that? I mean no offence, but I am genuinely curious,â Feng excitedly moved close to hear the tea.
Aiden sighed. âHe is different. His fate is different. That girl Clarina and him.... there is something,â
âNo, there is not,â Elle suddenly shouted.
âThere is bound to be in the future...â Aiden uttered.
âNo, there is not a future in which he will be with her,â she confidently raised her head.
âWell, you donât know the future best then,â Aiden just smiled at her.
Elle glared at him intently. âDonât insult my third eye. It can see anyoneâs future. As long as I concentrate properly, I can see snippets of their future events. I saw no such thing as you mentioned.â
âYou saw his future?â Ethan curiously whispered, peaking from Fengâs other side.
âHmm, I can personally vouch for him. He will not get together with that maid girl,â Elle said with a wide smirk.
Aiden and Ethan glanced at each other.
{âSomething has definitely changed. What if that guy ends up with Feng!â} Ethan worriedly sent his thoughts.
{âShit that isnât something I would like to witness,â} Aiden bit his lips.
{âI thought you confidently said that you were okay with Fengâs choice in lover.â} Ethan nudged his hand.
{âYes between us, not him!!â} Aiden glared at him with his eyes wide open.
{âFine, letâs ask her just to be sure,â}
They both intently peered at little Elle. âSo who does he end up with?â
The little girl blushed and ran away.
âHey answer us!!!â
They both chased her.
Feng just chuckled. âChildren are so spirited. Agh I just want to sleep....â
