Rebirth: A Woman With Frozen Heart

"No, I shall take care of him. After all, I am the Big Boss of Red Tiger. It's my responsibility."

Lifting her feet of the sc.u.m's jewel, Ming Yue turned around and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw who stood near the door. The person she saw was not what she expected to be.

"It's YOU?!" Ming Yue uttered her surprise as she saw the man standing wearing a black suit with one hand inside his pocket. She could see Qing Long and Bai Hu were behind that man, watching the man with wary on their eyes and a muscular man who stood not far from the so called Big Boss.

That man was none other than her math teacher, Mo Liu!!

"Teacher Mo? You are the leader of Red Tiger Gang?" Ming Yue asked as she stared at the handsome man whose eyes were staring at her. Mirth could be seen in the depth of those dark brown eyes and a soft cool smile appeared on his face.

"Well this is quite a surprise for both of us. I don't think the little girl in the report was 'The Cursed Child' of D city." Mo Liu spoke but as he was about to take one step forward, Qing Long and Bai Hu grabbed his shoulders from behind, forbidding him to come closer to Ming Yue.

The muscular man wanted to take a gun from his coat but Mo Liu raised his hand "It's okay."

Ming Yue turned her gaze to Qing Long and Bai Hu, "You both can wait outside."

"But Master.." Qing Long wanted to refute. He didn't want his lady to be with this man alone.

"It's okay, I will be fine." Ming Yue gave a reassuring smile, seeing that smile Qing Long gave in.

"Listen human, if you do something to our master.. I shall rip you to pieces!" Bai Hu growled in low tone before leaving the room with Qing Long. The muscular man followed along after Mo Liu gave him a firm nod.

Now that there were only two of them and one man in pain lying on the floor, silence filled the room. Both Ming Yue and Mo Liu were having a staring contest, none of them broke the tense atmosphere yet the one who broke it was Bai Zhang as he g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain.

"Who are those two men?" Mo Liu asked in casual tone as if he was talking about the weather.

"My guardians." Ming Yue replied using the same casual tone.

Mo Liu couldn't help but smiling seeing the little girl acted unlike her age. She replied his question using the same tone he used. Taking few steps forward toward her, Mo Liu asked her more questions.

"Guardians, huh? They refer me as human though?" Mo Liu stopped right in front of Ming Yue, staring at the little girl curiously "It as if they are not humans."

Ming Yue only gave him a smile full of mystery. Mo Liu who saw that smile, had his heart string tugged with interest. This little girl called Ming Yue, he had paid attention to her behavior at school. A gloomy and depressing girl that no one wanted to get close with, more over the rumors about her being a cursed child, disaster child, etc who was abandoned by her own parents, made everyone alienated her even further.

However now it was different. Since when she had changed? two days ago? Right, now that Mo Liu recalled the past days, he had noticed her change after she returned from health room. The little girl who couldn't meet people eyes, calmly answered Mo Liu when he inquired about her health. Yes, now this girl could calmly meet his sharp gaze and Mo Liu couldn't help but noticing her beauty and the sweet fragrance that came from her. Mo Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling that his throat became dry.

"So, Mr. Mo.." Ming Yue's voice pulled Mo Liu from his daze, "I want to discuss about the debt Chu Hui Restaurant owes. It seems this SC.U.M, goes against the agreement and doubles the interest. I want to pay the rest using the original interest."

Ming Yue's business like attitude amused Mo Liu as he gave his answer, "No need." His refusal made Ming Yue looked at him with one brow arched, clearly being suspicious.

"You don't have to pay the rest, take it as an apology to Chu Hui Restaurant for my lack of management." Mo Liu explained

"I refuse. I plan to invest and make Chu Hui Restaurant big and I don't want to Chu Hui Restaurant owing a favor to Red Tiger." Ming Yue refused coldly.

"Then take it as a friendly gift for the future owner of Chu Hui Restaurant. I, Mo Liu, The Leader of Red Tiger wants to have a friendly relationship with you. After all, someone who has guardians that can wipe out 30 guys so easily, must be not a simple person." Mo Liu lifted his other free hand and offered to shake hand with Ming Yue.

"Deal?" He asked, tilting his head to the side slightly.

Ming Yue stared at him for a while, contemplating whether she should be friendly with a gangster or not. Ming Yue didn't have great ambition, she just wanted to live her life freely and peacefully but there might be times she needed connections and having connection with Red Tiger might be useful in the future. So Ming Yue lifted her hand and shook Mo Liu's hand.

"Deal." She answered but Mo Liu pulled her closer, catching Ming Yue off guard.

"Good, then please keep my secret as I keep yours, Little moon." He whispered softly to Ming Yue's ear.

Ming Yue freed her hand and pushed Mo Liu with a scowl on her face. "Mr. Mo, please don't be too close to me." Ming Yue said, clearly annoyed that he caught her off guard.

Mo Liu chuckled, "Don't call me, Mr. Mo. I called you 'Little Moon' so call me Brother Mo, hm?" He smiled at Ming Yue.

Ming Yue frowned slightly seeing Mo Liu's smile. This man who was cold and strict at school, never showed his smile now smiling like coolly like that. It was an eye opener.

'People DO have other faces sometimes, huh?' Ming Yue mused inside.

"Little Moon?" Mo Liu called out to her when he saw she was in a daze.

Being pulled out of her reverie, Ming Yue gave a small smile. "Okay, Brother Mo." she finally answered then turned to see Bai Zhang who was lying on the floor. "About this sc.u.m.."

"Leave it to me, I'll take care of him." Mo Liu said but he frowned when Ming Yue turned her gaze to empty spot in that room.

"This man will be taken care of. I know that you all can't get your vengeance with your own hands, but I think you should let go of the resentment and return to reincarnation realm." Ming Yue said.

Mo Liu stiffened as he watched Ming Yue speaking to that empty spot. The rumor about Ming Yue being a cursed child who could see ghosts played in his mind. It turned out to be true.. and these ghosts were here in this very room?! Somehow Mo Liu felt goosebumps all over his body.

A tender smile appeared on Ming Yue's face as she watched the ghosts departed to next realm one by one after expressing their gratitude to Ming Yue, the air that was thick with despair and resentment slowly became clear.

"Be free. May heaven blesses you with good life in the next reincarnation." She whispered while her head lifted up, staring those ghosts turned into particles of light, flying toward the sky.

Mo Liu who watched from the side, couldn't help but be captivated by Ming Yue's tender smile. Judging from her words, it seemed the 'Ghosts' were gone and he admitted that the surrounding air felt lighter. Staring at the little girl, Mo Liu had one thought.

This girl was special..

The tender atmosphere soon disappeared when Ming Yue retained her coldness, turning around and moved her feet towards the door. "My business here is done." Ming Yue said as she reached the door knob and paused before turning around slightly, "See you tomorrow at school, Bro.ther.Mo~" Ming Yue shot him a playful smile before leaving the office.

It took a while before Mo Liu reacted to Ming Yue playful remark. He chuckled and shook his head, "Cheeky Little Moon." he murmured softly with a tone filled with adoration. Looked like he gained a cute and cheeky little sister.
