《Code Of The Heart》Chapter 5:Moonlian's Struggles
Advertisement
It was foggy and through the murk, a monstrous black gargantuan two-headed creature showed up. It was like a serpent which had a pair of wings. The creature was completely covered with tough, shiny scales and it's eyes were glowing in the dark. It was magnificently beautiful. It approached her and when she went near it, in an instant, it entered inside her body.
She got distracted from her sleep and suddenly woke up. It was obvious that she was sweating as she was feared to death. Mei who sat near her bed was happy to see her in a conscious state.
"Moonlian, you finally woke up! Gosh! You have been suffering from fever the whole night," rubbing her hair Mei tiredly said.
" What happened yesterday? How you got soaked in the rain?" Mei caressed her cheeks.
Moonlian coughed and seeked for water.
"Take! Have some water and tell me slowly!"
Mei handed over a glass of water to Moonlian.
Before she could speak, tears flowed through her eyes then she tightly hugged Mei and bursted out. She told everything about yesterday's incident.
"Bastard! How dare he say that? I'm gonna kick his ass," hollered Mei.
" Calm down, Mei. It's not his fault. I should have talked more sincerely." said Moonlian in a calm voice.
"Hey! It's not your fault at all, okay? That guy, I see, he is too full of himself. Let me meet him, I will teach him a good lesson." Mei spatted in anger.
Seeing Mei being furious, Moonlian couldn't help but only laugh.
"Okay! That's too much for today! Now, you go to your room and take some rest." chuckled Moonlian.
Mei got up and went to her room.
After locking her door, she felt some kind of unusualness regarding her dream. She was expecting it to be the Ancient Chinese Purported Beast. If it is so, then why it occurred on her dream? Do they have any connections?

Meanwhile in The Angelo House, Jianyu and other staffs were waiting for Delun's Editor to show up. Everyone assumed her to be Moonlian but their assumptions were wrong. A girl in her late twenties appeared along with Delun which made everyone shocked. Her name was Yenay and she greeted everyone and introduced herself as the new Editor of Delun. In the middle of this, Jianyu personally called Delun outside.
"Have you gone crazy? Who is she? Why did you hire her?" Jianyu gawked him.
"First of all, it's my office and I am the boss. So, you cannot question the decision I make. Secondly, I am the one who is in need of an Editor so I appointed the one whom I can rely on!" arrogantly replied Delun.
Hearing this, Jianyu twitched his lips.
"If you don't have anything to say then I won't waste my time on you!" Delun ignored him and went inside.
"You jerk! Come back, how dare you ignore me!" shouted Jianyu.
"Can't believe this jerk rejected Moonlian and chose Yenay over her." Jianyu mumbled.
"Hey, do you know her address?" asked Jianyu. "Whose? Moonlian?" Yan questioned in puzzled tone.
"No, I am asking my dog's address!" hilariously replied Jianyu.
"As long as I remember, she lives in Jiande City. It will take maximum 2 hours to reach there."
"Tell Peizhi to cancel all my meetings for today. I am leaving for Jiande." hurriedly said Jianyu.
"Okay, sir!" replied Yan.
After he reached Jiande city, he dropped by a Flower Shop near a street and asked for Bouquet Of Hot Pink Roses. He paid for it then he asked an old woman who was walking by the street about Moonlian's house. She replied sweetly, "Go straight and turn left, the house in the corner of Cherry Blossom Tree is Moonlian's house." Jianyu thanked her and hurried to meet Moonlian.

When Jianyu rang the bell, Mei was the one to open the door.
"Hello, I am Director Jianyu from the Angelo House. Is Miss Moonlian home?" he politely asked.
"So, what are you here for? To insult her again?" she glared him.
"No, Miss. You got me wrong. I am here to...."
Before he could continue, Mei interrupted.
"Stop please! What do you guys think about yourself, huh? You capitalist brats! You know what? The people like you have the same problem, first they think they can insult anyone they like and after that, they come here to resolve the issue. How shameless!"
"I respect you but that doesn't mean you'll blabber anything you like. I'm here to talk with Moonlian so just let me in." He tried to came inside.
"No, people like you're not allowed to enter." She blocked the door with her hands, not letting him to enter.
"Just get lost before I call the cops." She curled up her lips. Then, she banged the door.
"Please! It's urgent. We can talk calmly as well." He knocked the door.
After some minutes, Mei slowly opened the door. "We'll talk but outside the house."
She locked the door and went near the Cherry Blossom Tree, while Jianyu followed her.
There was silence for a while, when Jianyu spoke, "Moonlian was our favourite among all the candidates and we really wished her to be Delun's Editor but I wonder why he rejected her." "Don't you know anything or Are you pretending to not know?" asked Mei apatheticly.
He was clueless when she asked that.
"Anyways, I'm Mei, Moonlian's best friend and her only parent. We're orphans and we grew up together in the Orphanage. Let me say, we are our each other's strength." she introduced herself.
"I'm sorry for what happened but may I know what Delun did?" asked Jianyu.
Mei told how he humiliated Moonlian.
"That crazy jerk." murmured Jianyu.
Mei sighed and said, "Since her childhood, Moonlian has always enjoyed reading Delun's novels. She loved his work and admired him a lot. Moonlian used to tell me that one day she would work with Delun. At that time, I thought she just said it but who knew she meant it too. As we grew up we decided to live on our own. To become a qualified Editor, Moonlian studied in a renowned University so that she could achieve her childhood dream. She didn't want to trouble me so she used to do part-time jobs in different places in order to pay her expensive fees and rent of the house. She struggled a lot but that bastard doesn't deserve her. So, I request you to leave her alone. I know you are a good person and you care for Moonlian but I don't want her to suffer. I hope you understand," said Mei.
Jianyu understood and bid farewell to Mei. But not to mention, he was furious towards Delun. He turned behind and looked at her. Mei smiled and waved him, he also waved her back and the smile on her face made him remember of someone from his past.

P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT: Aeon Genesis
The first project focusing on four protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century Europe.This is the first P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT focusing on 3 (+1) protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century-esque Europe. Each story has its own protagonists (Male or Female Lead), genres (mainly Western Fantasy), and can be read as a standalone. Status: OngoingUpdate(s) per week: 1Words per chapter: 3000 - 6000 *** ‘A human or not; a king or a servant; hope or despair; a hero or a villain.’ Depending on one's perspective and how each story portrays, one will view an individual or a group as evil or virtuous. Because of that, it depends on the reader and listener to believe which one is the truth. More people read and trust multiple (trusted?) sources that either complement or contradict one another. The contradiction becomes the source of debates between those who believe and those who don’t. From that difference in belief, two groups appear: The Majority and The Minority. The majority, having more people, suppress the minorities’ beliefs, claiming theirs, the majorities’, to be the truth. However, the majority are not only composed solely of those who share the same belief but also those who know the truth but afraid to admit it. They have to keep quiet and turn a blind eye for their safety. The majority had to submit to those with power and authority. With the majority under control, those with power and authority can create, manipulate, and/or fabricate truth and lies by force. The reason was for one’s or group’s personal benefits. In the end, there is no such thing as ‘absolute truth’; only sugar-coated lies created by the top. Don’t believe me? It is up to you to decide. Go and read it yourself.
