17 Are you hur

2018, Modern World

A white blonde haired girl was sleeping on a huge bed, wearing a panda jumpsuit. She was in deep sleep, her long eyelashes curled and lips slightly apart.

After a few moments, she stirred and her eyes opened, to show two striking violet eyes, dark enough to look like black.

She yawned and sat up groggily. For a few seconds, she was startled to see she wasn't in her room, but then she remembered that she was no longer back at her home.

She stretched her pale limbs and got up from the bed. Noticing that a new pile of clothes had been placed in the wardrobe, she grabbed a top and jeans.

In a few minutes, she had showered and was now dressed in a pink blouse with white lace and dark jeans that were comfortable.

'This world's clothes are a bit strange.' Yi Meng thinks while plaiting her hair.

She pushed open the room's door and stepped in the hallway.

"This place is like a maze." She mutters, unable to understand which way to go.

Just when she decides to ask someone, she knocks into a warm being.

A cute, childish voice cries out in pain.

"I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?" Yi Meng says immediately, bending down.

A four year old boy stood in front of Yi Meng. He had huge, watery violet eyes, that blinked when he looked at Yi Meng. His slightly wavy brown hair was strung messily around his small head, making his pale skin stand out. His pink thin lips were currently pouting, as he rubbed his forehead.

Yi Meng was surprised for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She knelt down, so that sbe was in level with him. She rubbed her hand on his forehead softly, "I'm sorry. I didn't see you. Does it hurt a lot?" She asks in a concerned voice.

The boy looked at her with amazement in his eyes. He opens his mouth, only to say something she had never expected to hear.

"Mama!"

He exclaims and wraps his warm, small hands around her neck.

"..... Eh?"

Yi Meng was in a loss for words. 'Did this adorable boy just call me Mama?' she wondered.

She patted his back slowly, before saying. "Boy, are you lost? Tell me your name, I'll help you find your parents." She says in a comforting voice.

"Mama." He says, only hugging her tighter.

"Yes, yes. That's what I'm saying. I'll help you find your Mama. Tell me who you are." Yi Meng said patiently.

"No. Mama." He says once again, now griping her even tighter than before.

Yi Meng coughs. 'He may be small, but he sure has a tight hold. Now what to do? I'll take him with me to the dining room.' She decides.

She asks him. "Can you please let go of me? I won't leave you here."

He shakes his head.

Having no choice, she sighs and picks him up.

He giggles in delight and wraps his legs around her slender waist and lays his head on her shoulder.

'Shouldn't children be wary of strangers? He seems to be quite friendly with a stranger like me.' Yi Meng asks herself.

She starts walking again and after many rounds, she finally reaches the dining room.

The boy had been silent for a while, except for a few mumbles on the way.

Yi Meng pats his back saying "Boy, we have reached the dining room. You'll soon be reunited with your Mama."

Once again he only replies "Mama."

"Yes, you'll be with Mama." She said reassuringly.

She opens the door, only to see the room decorated lavishly. People dressed elegantly were standing and talking while sipping their drinks.

But when she opened the door, everyone's eyes fell on her. Whispers instantly started. Some giggled on seeing her attire.

Then, a lady gasped. "Isn't that young master Long?"

"You're right. What is he doing with a stranger?"

"I've heard he never stays in anyone's arms except Master Long's."

"No way! It can't be! She tried to kidnap him but entered the wrong room."

"She must have drugged him."

Yi Meng stayed calm even after hearing these comments. She was long accustomed to such things. She tried to remove the boy, but he was stuck like glue to her.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her small and waist and pulled her. "Darling, what are you doing here?" A deep and rich voice asked Yi Meng.

Yi Meng looked up in surprise to see Sora standing there, gazing at her. Dressed in a suit and with his hair brushed back, he looked even more handsome than before.

"Darling!!! Why is my Sora calling that wrench darling!" An admirer of Sora exclaimed in a high pitched voice, but was stopped before she could say anything else by a cold gaze thrown by Sora.

"Everyone, meet my wife, in whose honor I threw this party." He declared.

He nudged Yi Meng slightly. She cleared her throat before saying "Nice to meet you all. I'm Yi Meng, his wife. Hope you all enjoy the party." She remembered the word for such a gathering.

All of them started talking and gossiping on how the most eligible bachelor of the year, was now married.

Sora had a slightly confused look on hearing her introduction but it changed back soon. He then placed his big hand over Yi Meng's, that held the boy. Yi Meng's heart almost skipped a beat. He then said "Haru, come here."

The boy turned his head on hearing the man calling out to him. He was silent for a moment, before he pouted and turned back saying "No. Haru doesn't want to."

"Haru." He said in a warning way.

"Don't want to. Don't want to. Don't want to." Haru said, burying his face on Yi Meng's shoulder. "Haru doesn't want to leave Mama."

'Again? Why is he calling me Mama? Do I resemble his mother?' Yi Meng wonders.

"Your Mama is going nowhere. She's going to be here with us. If you don't get off her, then she might leave." Sora said in a bored voice.

Haru's body stiffened, before he looked at Yi Meng with tear filled eyes. "No!!! Mama, please don't leave Haru. Haru promises to be a good boy. Haru swears not to steal chocolate from the fridge. That's why, please don't leave Haru alone Mama! Haru will be sad." Tears fall on his plump cheeks.

Yi Meng was shocked at his sudden crying. She immediately turned her back to Sora and hugged Haru. " Don't worry, Mama won't leave you alone." She wipes his tears.

" Then will Mama give Haru a kissy?" He asks in a cute voice, blinking his huge violet eyes.

Yi Meng was a bit hesitant, but seeing his sparkling eyes, she laid her lips on his forehead.

He giggled and hugged her again. Yi Meng patted his back. What she didn't notice was how he smirked at Sora, as if telling him he lost. Haru had been the one to get a kiss and not Sora.

Sora smouldered silently in jealousy.
