The crane
rotated its head and body and ignored it’s owner. He was way too talkative; it
was even too much for a mystical crane to bear.
The young
man seemed to already be used to the crane’s behavior. He smiled and didn’t pay
it any more attention. He took a look over the entire valley and sighed, “I
haven’t been back in three years and look what this place had become. If master
and xi mu find out, they will be sad.
I am such a nice person, I should find some time and come back and tidy this
place up. I must let master and xi mu
feel comfortable. Aiya, there’s so much to take care of….”
He went on
and on for a while before he turned his attention to the person lying in the
middle of the garden.
“……” The
mystical crane pretended that it couldn’t hear him.
“So fast.
Why did my heart suddenly beat so fast after I saw this girl? I must take some
medications. Xiaohe, what should I take?”
Chirp!
The mystical
crane let out another loud chirp and resorted to turning and walking away. It
wasn’t going to pay him any attention at all!
“Hey,
Xiaohe! How could you be so heartless!” scolded the young man at the back of
the mystical crane as it was walking away. Hearing those words, it almost took
a tumble after it heard his words. Finally it flapped it wings and flew away
quickly.
“Aiya,
Xiaohe. How could you do that to me? I, your owner, merely grumbled a little
bit about you and you just ditched me like that? Ai, you are so lucky to have
someone kind like me as your owner; otherwise, I’d pull out all of your
feathers. Hrm!”
After going
on and on for even longer, he carefully turned his attention back to Cheng Xiao
Xiao. With a mischievous look in his eyes, he stared at the pretty girl in
front of him for a long time before he came to.
His lips
were shut tightly, giving it a perfect shape. Blinking lightly, he said to
himself, “No wonder I have calculated that something was going on over here; a
beautiful girl was here waiting to be saved by me.
“Hmmmm,
should I do some calculation on whether we are good match for each other?
“No, wait!
She is hurt. I should check on her first!”
After
finally making a decision, he looked back at the person who wasn’t looking too
well. A flash of light flashed passed his ink-black eyes. His perfect lips
formed into a curve and he smiled, “Since fate had brought me to you, I will be
generous and give you a revival dan.1
Upon saying
that, the young man produced a jade bottle in his hand and poured out a pill
that has an underlying gold color and fed it to Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Seeing that
she was able to swallow it, he smiled with satisfaction. Then he pulled out a
handkerchief and cleaned her face. A beautiful smile radiated from his handsome
face.
“I must do
some calculations to see if we are related. I certainly hope so, otherwise I
have given away too much without any returns. I have always taken advantage of
others; I never let others take advantage of me. Miss, you certainly wouldn’t do that to me, would you?”
As he was
mumbling non stop, he started calculating2 with his slender fingers. He tried
and tried, and the smile disappeared from his face. His frown deepened, as
though he was getting progressively more unsatisfied with the result.
“No, wait.
That’s not right. How come I can’t get the result? I am genius mathematician, I
can calculate the fate of everybody who walk this earth. Why is it that I can’t
see into her future?
“That can’t
be right. Let me start over again…”
Starting
over, this time he used both of his hands. They moved faster and faster and he looked
worse and worse.
“No, wait. I
am still not getting anything?!”

Notes:
1. a pill that shapes like a sphere (not circular
and flat like western pills)
2. By
“calculating” here, it’s really like a form of fortune telling. They use a
method of “calculating” to see the future. I tried to look for a video to no
avail, but imagine the way of “calculating” is touching the tip of one’s thumb
to the tip of the other fingers back and forth in random order. Just want my
readers to get an mental image of what he was doing. J That being said, this
character is hella annoying; he talked too much. J
