● THE MEMORIES ● 2, ● REUNION ● 1

A simple sugary treat was enough to keep my loyalty to him back then.

''Good, don't say anything.'' He murmured and sent me home. ''Go home before you get in trouble.''

Without a second thought, I ran home. I had not thought of that afternoon ever since, although I would occasionally find Master Li He in all corners of the neighbourhood with different girls, that by time he's sixteen, he must've tasted all the sweet tang of every teenager's lips in the village.

I often caught him and he bribed me with candie, but by the time I was fourteen, I required more than a piece of candy for my constant loyalty. He gave me a small change here and there, and sometimes, I acquired enough to get me a nice bowl of ramen from the market stall.

We grew up together even though he was cruel to me when I was young, that cruelness faded as we aged. Perhaps, the reason to this was master Li He never had sibling, he's the only son of the Liu family and he'll take over the family's wealth once his parents pass away.

I was like a younger sister to him, he scrammed and batted me away whenever I got in his way. He was womanizer in the making and the signs are all over the place. He broke every unsuspecting girl's heart in a heartbeat, that he's gotten a reputation for being a heartbreaker which gained him more attention from girls much to my suprise.

I never understood women's gluttonous appetite for a sadist like him, but, I guess, girls do like a guy who treats them like shit.

I told him he's a pig one time, but he just kicked his feet and laughed.

We were a team until two years later when his parents chose a proper bride for him. A girl two years his senior from an equally wealthy family.

I was happy for him, the idea of marriage to me was a fairytale, something I always wanted and dreamed of. Something that could erase my troubles away. A happily ever after I can only dream of.

I must've been the most excited, although I noticed his disinterest and I had no idea why. I thought something like that would make master Li He happy, but it didn't.

I wouldn't have a chance to find out why because, soon, my mother passed away and I was sold to another family as a slave. That was the last time I would see him for a while.

● REUNION ● 1

It was another three years I saw him again. I was nineteen and master Li He was twenty one by then. My new master had been kind to me and had no complaints, I wouldn't have mind serving him for rest of my life until he passes away. He's an older man wealthy as he can be.
