Heavenly Opposers

"So, tell me, what do you normally do?"

Xiao asked to Li Lun as he along with her walked along the halls of the Yun family mansions, an hour has passed since the family meeting, he had to spend the first half an hour coursing his mother to be calm, after which he had a talk with Li Kai his future 'father-in-law', seeing the situation had become calm Li Kai had asked Xiao to spend some time talking with his daughter and Xiao obliged

And that resulted in him now walking alongside the shy Li Lin, who only looked at the ground shyly while taking peeks at him, up and till now all he had got are nods from her when whenever he talked, looking at the shy girl now, Xiao couldn't believe this was the same girl that he heard about in the past

'Sigh.....experiences changes any person...'

Xiao could only sigh inwardly as his past experiences to passed in his mind, when he was young he had thought that he was the only one to suffer, that he was cursed but the more he grew the more he knew how naive his thoughts were

He wasn't the only one suffering and what he experienced might not even be half as painful as others might have, in fact in a way Xiao could be said to be lucky as he had got a second chance to rewrite what wrongs he had done, Xiao in no way is a saint but in his first life he was definitely a devil

If it wasn't for his second life and for him meeting his master, he might have never being able to leave the weight and feelings that was held deep in his heart, he might have become an empty shell of a human, in fact at one point he was like that, filled with disappointments and failures but he had learned to overcome them, because there was someone to show him the way

And the Li Lan in the future would be the same too, faced with difficulties one after another, her heart wold be continued to be broken again and again, sure she would become an unfathomable expert but at what cost?, Xiao could clearly remember reading about how disastourous her life would be in the future

With Xiao's current power he would be completely helpless against it, even if he wanted to help her, he's powerless, even if he did intervening in a legacy selection might cost the life of the one that's selected, all Xiao could do was to support Li Lun from the side just like his master had done for him

Them maybe, maybe he could give her a light in the dark world she would soon be faced with, then maybe he would be able to pay back a fraction of what he truly owned her

"Xi-Xiao?"

Li Lun murmured bringing Xiao out of his deep thoughts, unknowingly Xiao had went into a trance forgetting about the girl close to him, causing her to look into his eyes for the first time, causing her to meet with his deep black eyes that shined with a hint of white, Li Lun seemed to have gone into a trance as she looked into his eyes

"Li Lun are you okay?"

Xiao waved his hands in front of Li Lun's face to bring her out of her trance, coming out of it she blushed as she looked away in shyness, Xiao could only inwardly shake his head at her behaviour, he looked at her with a smile as he spoke

"You know if you always blush like this and turn you face away it would be hard for us to talk"

"I-I am so-sorry, it's just that I am a bit ne-nervous"

"Nervous?, am I such a scary guy?"

Xiao spoke with a downcast look and an angry face, seeing it Li Lun panicked as she waved her hands and spoke with a higher volume

"No!, it-it's just that I-I am nervous a-and I thought that you would not like me an...."

Just as Li Lun kept rambling the angry expression from Xiao's face dissapeared as a teasing smile came on him, seeing this Li Lun understood hat he was just teasing her, understanding it she pouted as she stomped the ground and turned her face away, Xiao laughed as he spoke

"Okay, okay calm down I was just playing around, you don't have to take it to heart, moreover why would I be angry?"

Hearing Xiao's words Li Lun hesitated a bit but them looking at Xiao's calm black eyes, she gathered courage and she spoke

"Well isn't being engaged to me humiliating to you?, aren't you angry?"

Li Lun asked her face filled with tension, she's no idiot she knows that her engagement is just a play of games, a game where she has no power to intervene, she could tell that her father too was distressed by what had happened and he had tried to help her but his power was useless here

To Li Lun that hurt, she just like any other young girl of her age dreams of meeting her loving prince and to be with him but her fate was sealed and she has no power to change it, so she went along with it but even then she had some curiosity about her 'fiancé

And from what she had heard, she got to know that he was termed as many names genius, weird, bookworm, weird young master and many more but what struck out most to her was that he would never tolerate anyone messing with his family

There were innumerable times where he beat up many other kids who dared to make fun of his sister and even when he was punished and beaten Xiao still didn't give in as he made sure that his sister was happy, learning this she understood that her so called 'fiancé', was protective of those who he loves and cherishes

At first when she met him she went into daze, among the crowd he was like shinning beacon that stood out, confident, calm and resourceful, at first she was scared, scared of how he would treat her, after all she was being used to shame him, yet contradictory to all her belief he was calm, endearing and respectful of her

This confused her, so she wanted to know why?, why wasn't he angry at her?, Xiao became silent for a moment at her question, silence ticked in the surrounding, finally Xiao looked directly into Li Lun's eyes as he spoke

"Why?, well truthfully, I am angry and moreover disappointed in my family but why should I be angry at you?, aren't you like me?, someone that's forced into this?, then why should I direct my anger at you?, I am not such a person....anymore, moreover I think you're a bit cute so I don't mind being engaged to you"

"Cu-Cute?"

Li Lun bushed when she heard Xiao's words but even at that same time her impression of him became better and unknowingly she slowly relaxed her guard around him
