Wang Li Lei knew that the only thing he could do was to protect her from danger and if like he had expected Mrs. Sophia would snap at her, he would lend both his shield and shoulder for her to protect and comfort her which was what she needed.
"I'm sorry I was late, all our things had just moved you see, I still don't remember where my the cups were placed." Said Mrs. Sophia as soon as she entered the room with a tray of cold tea.
"It's fine, We were not waiting for a long time, aunty." replied Xiao Yun, smiling as she took a hold of the cup.
"This is a tea from my friend, how does it taste?" asked Mrs. Sophia, her gaze was kept as she drank the tea.
"It's delicious." replied Xiao Yun, she shifted her eyes around finding time to bring up the topic as subtle as she could. "The room is still a little empty, it would be good to hang a few picture frames."
Mrs. Sophia hummed, "We don't have too many pictures, so I'm not sure about that."
"Did you just buy the house early in this month, Mrs. Sophia? I could still see the planks over there." said Wang Li Lei pointing the wooden planks which was possibility used by the person who lived here before.
"Yes, that's right. We made a sudden choice you see, my husband will be retiring."
"Uncle is?" asked Xiao Yun with one of her brows raised.
"Yes, his eyesight grew worse and he think it's time to retire," replied Mrs. Sophia.
"Then, the house will feel a little empty with just the two of you." commented Wang Li Lei.
Mrs. Sophia chuckled, "Wouldn't that also mean your house feel a little empty with only the two of you?" she teased, "you two should make the house rowdy with children."

Wang Li Lei chuckled, looking at Xiao Yun he hummed, "Two would be good." Xiao Yun felt blood rushes on her cheeks. Why were they talking this now? She felt embarrassed from the talk she had with Mrs. Sophia but her smile was wide on her lips.
Mrs. Sophia could tell the blush spread over Xiao Yun's cheeks and laughed, "Two would be good, of course having sibling is good."
"I agree with that," Wang Li Lei sip his tea, his eyes turning toward Xiao Yun and held her shoulder. "I was an only child so I often wonder how having a younger sister or brother would be good. Like Xiao Yun and Xing Fu they seemed to be close."
Mrs. Sophia nodded, "You're right, Being alone as a child is lonely."
"You seem to understand that well, Mrs. Sophia," replied Wang Li Lei coolly.
"Me?" Mrs. Sophia covered her laughing lips, "I had a sister so I wasn't that lonely."
"A sister," replied Wang Li Lei as he hummed, "that I remember now to have heard it before from Xiao Yun." he said subtly veering the conversation.
"It wasn't a secret," replied Mrs. Sophia. "That's right, I haven't ask you before, what did you come for today, Xiao Yun?"
Xiao Yun held his hand, steeling her jumpy nerves she said, "I came to ask something about Andy."
"Go on," Mrs. Sophia said as she wrinkled her brows, "Don't tell me, that boy he did something to you?" she asked suspiciously.
"No. That's not it," replied Xiao Yun cutting in before Mrs. Sophia could scold Andy. "I want to ask about Adam, Andy's cousin." said Xiao Yun, she lifted her chin up seeing a surprised look on Mrs. Sophia's eyes who then shifted her eyes away from Xiao Yun down to the glass across her.

Covering an awkward smile, she said, "How do you know about him?"
"I found out by chance." Xiao Yun kept her words briefly, not wanting to say that she knew it by pulling some strings behind.
"What did you find out about?" a sadness seemed flickered upon Mrs. Sophia's eyes which broke Xiao Yun's heart to see her sadness.
Wang Li Lei felt her hand grasping him become tighter, with a smile Xiao Yun replied, "That he died two months before Andy's birth." she trailed which Mrs. Sophia nodded to.
Mrs. Sophia looked at her with her light brown eyes looking emotionless to whisper, "So you haven't heard it from Andy yet?"
"About what?" questioned Xiao Yun.
"That he isn't my child and that he is my sister's son." the words she replied was soft and gentle but it felt like a thunder to Xiao Yun. She felt shivered running down her spine, but more than that was sadness. She was loss in what she should and how should she react to the news.
Should she be happy that Wang Li Lei's suspicion in Andy and Adam being the same person hit the mark and that she had found some clues about Andy? But her heart felt heavy to the point that breathing felt hard to her lungs.
"But why?" was the only words that could only come from Xiao Yun's lips, "Aunty, you could have adopted Andy through normal circumstances."
Mrs. Sophia shifted her eyes away, looking at the garden which was still filled with long grassy weeds and her eyelids fell to narrow her eyes, "It's all because of my evil sister."
Xiao Yun saw a sarcastic smile appearing to adorn the wrinkles on Mrs. Sophia's face, her eyes which was shifted to her showed a complete abomination. "If she was about to disappear, she should have died before leaving her son alone."
Xiao Yun was momentarily taken aback with the hatred shown by Mrs. Sophia to her own sister. "Was Mrs. Hernely not your blood related sister?" with the way she had talked about Andy's mother made it seems as if they were not and Mrs. Sophie turned her face with a smirk.
"As if that woman is." she huffed, her eyes rolling, "She was an insane woman, no-" she cackled a horrifying laughter, "she was a devil's incarnate. My parents took care of her not knowing what kind of a person she was. Have you ever seen a mother who had just given birth would dare to leave their newborn baby who was placed in an incubator for two whole months? Andy could have died all alone but she didn't care, she was just the type of person you wouldn't ever want to meet."

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
