Chapter 2: Vicious Serpent !

Yu Xiao Yun's memories floated at the last moment of her death. She looks up at the black sky, and inside her head, she continues to curse at herself. How could I believe them? How could I blindly put my trust in those people? ' Xiao Yun couldn't feel anything; her body felt numb and cold. She could feel that her body was growing colder each second. And although she was shivering from the coldness of her body, the blood pool that surrounds her felt warmer. Slowly, her consciousness fades away. Her tears mixed with anger, ' No! I refuse to die this way! Those people, even if I become a ghost, I will make sure to avenge my family and myself! " Her family faces floated through her consciousness, and the salty tears fell to her cheek. The last thing she could do was to pray, pray to the Gods in heaven, to help her avenge everyone! Avenge the people who hurt her! At her last moment, Xiao Yun's blurry vision could see a man's back figure floating through her mind. She raises her trembling hand to reach the man's face, but her body couldn't keep up with it anymore, and slowly her hand fell to the cold, harsh floor. Her eyes felt heavy,y and her heartbeat stopped.. -------- When Xiao Yun opens her eyes the next moment, she smells the vanilla scent filling the whole room. Xiao Yun abruptly raised her body and sat on the bed. With an aghast expression, she checks her chest and searches her whole body for the wound she received before she died. ' No way! I didn't die? There's no wound on my body! No hole in my chest! ' Xiao Yun wipes her cold sweat and walks away from her bed. As she walked past a mirror hanging in her room, she staggered a few steps back in disbelief before completely collapsing to the floor. She covered her mouth, stood up from the floor, and ran toward the calendar near her. Her eyes widened when she checked the calendar, 20XX! ' Am I dreaming...? I went back to the past! I went back 8 years before my death! ' Xiao Yun looked around and grabbed her phone. In the screen lock, a small reminder flashes on the screen. [ 18th birthday ] 'It's true today is the 5th of April, my birthday! ...So, does this mean I went back to the past? ' Without thinking much, Xiao Yun quickly opens her phone and reads the news. It's true! She went back to the past! That means... she could go back and redo everything! She could avenge herself and her family! Xiao Yun stood up and opened her closet. While taking her school uniform out, she ties her hair into a ponytail and grabs her school bag. Xiao Yun's eyes were more sparkling than ever, and her heart was full of determination. Swiftly, she went down to the dining room. The first people she laid her eyes too were her parents and older brother. Without a word, she ran towards her parents, hugged them, and started to bawl. Looking at Xiao Yun's behavior, her parents froze. They look at her, er not knowing what to do. Their daughter, who was always spoiled and sell, looked different than usual. Xiao Yun was always spoiled and rebellious since the first year of her high school. Her parents would always get a warning phone call from Xiao Yun's teacher because of her thick makeup and skipping school. Whenever she was at home, Xiao Yun would always fight with her parents, shouting, screaming, and breaking everything around the house. But today, as a thunderstorm came crashing in, Xiao Yun didn't use any makeup at all. She didn't wear her over-the-top jewelry and colorful clothes. Her parents came back to their senses and hugged her while asking her in a worried tone. " Are you alright? " " Does your stomach hurt? " Xiao Yun's brother also chimed i, worried. " Did anyone bully you at school? " Xiao Yun looked at them with a tear-stained face and shook her head. " No... Dad, Mom, Ge-Ge. I love you all," she replies in a weak, fragile voice. Baffled, her parents and brother took glances at each other. Unlike the usual Xiao Yun, who would always spout hurtful things with a scornful expression, today she hugged them. Their face was painted in confusion, but they couldn't hide their happiness. After all, it was the first time for them to hear the word 'I love you' from Xiao Yun after many years. Xiao Yun's mother pats her head and comforts her crying daughter, " It's alright, we also love you ." Her father and brother nod, agreeing to her mother's words before hugging each other. After all that crying, Xiao Yun's stomach rumbles from hunger. Xiao Yun awkwardly scratches her head. Looking at the awkward Xiao Yun, her family laughs warmly and continues to eat their breakfast. It has been a long time since their dining room became bright with jokes and laughter. After a few minutes, this time they had a closer talk with Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun also took a break from eating and looked at them with a serious expression. " Mom, Dad, Ge-Ge, I'm sorry, I've been a bad person this whole time. I promise to be a better person, please, once more, guide me. " Xiao Yun stood up from her seat and bowed to her parents, with teary eyes. Her mother looks at her with a warm expression, and while wiping her tears, her mother answered, " It's alright as long as you can learn from your past mistakes. " Her dad and brother nod in agreement with her mother's words. Xiao Yun continues to apologize to her whole family. She explains that she felt horrible and that she was a non-filial daughter, and promised to be a better person. Seeing their daughter's apologetic eyes, their eyes turned teary. After breakfast, Xiao Yun went out of the house to go to school. Even though the school was near her house, in the past Xiao Yun would ride a car rather than walk. As a spoiled young mistress, she was always whining and complaining; however, this time she wants to become more independent. Xiao Yun went to inform the chauffeur that she would not need any car and would walk to the school. Even though she wears no makeup and only puts some sunscreen and CC cream to balance her complexion, Xiao Yun looks far more beautiful than when she was wearing thick makeup. Her black hair flapped as it was blown by the serene breeze, her obsidian-colored eyes looked as if it was glittering like a starry sky, and her cherry-colored cheeks and lips colored her fair skin. Without her knowing, a man inside a car gazed at her deeply. The chauffeur inside the car opens his mouth nervously. " Master, why are we stopping here? " The man raises his hand, ordering the chauffeur. " Wait. " A charming voice came out from his lips" He looks at the girl passionately, and when the girl couldn't be seen anymore from the car, he gave a faint hand gesture ordering the chauffeur to continue driving. As Xiao Yun was near the school, suddenly a high-pitched voice called her name. " Xiao Yun ! " says the girl. Xiao Yun turns his head and finds Qu Mei Xing. The vicious woman who hides her fangs behind the innocent mask. Her best friend destroyed her life! Xiao Yun hides her disgusted expression and smiles warmly, answering, "Mei Xing, good morning." Mei Xing looked at Xiao Yun in confusion. Unlike Xiao Yun's usual appearance, she looked very beautiful. Reflected in Mei Xing's eyes was the Xiao Yun who didn't wear any thick clown make-up or colorful clothes. Xiao Yun looks very mesmerizing, very pure and bright. Everyone who was about to enter the school stood frozen at the sight of Xiao Yun and stared at her while murmuring. " Wow! Who is that beside Mei Xing? " "She is so beautiful! " " She is more beautiful than Mei Xing, our school's idol. " Hearing other people's words that compare her and Xiao Yun, Mei Xing's face was contorted in anger, but she tried to suppress her anger and continued to put up her naive mask. Since she was young, Xiao Yu, who was always spoiled felt em.ty- Her parents would usually scold her brother, but never scolded her. To attract the school teacher's attention and call her parents, Xiao Yun would wear heavy make-up and neon-colored dresses that would go against the school rules, which had happened many times, but her parents had never once scolded her. This made, angry,rand she did more troublesome things. For that reason, she had always made a troublesome scene or even gotten angry for some reason, trying to atattractarents' attention. But no matter what she did....Her parents never scolded her. Slowly, she felt empty and dissolved in the empty praises of her friend. But she is not the same person as before, she will ruin those people's happy lives the same way as they did, no, even worse than what they could imagine!
