The villagers helped her to bury her parent. She started to live alone. She isolated herself from others. She did not want that group of people to know about her existence. Otherwise, she might be dead.
The girl tried to make Yu Qi release her in no vain.
"Let... me go..." The girl said.
Her voice was very low. Yu Qi also could not catch that.
"I will release your hand. But you can not run away. I will not hurt or harm you. I swear." Yu Qi said.
The girl looked at the woman's face. "Really?" She asked.
Yu Qi smiled and nodded. "Yes."
"Okay." The girl said. She finally calmed down.
Yu Qi released the girl's hand. The girl did not run away as she promised.
"I am Tang Yu Qi. Can you tell me your name?" Yu Qi asked for her name.
"My name... Is... Xia Biya." Xia Biya told her name.
"What a beautiful name." Yu Qi praised it.
"Really?" Xia Biya's eyes shined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Do you know what is the meaning of the name?" Yu Qi asked.
Xia Biya shook her head. She wanted to know the meaning. It was the name that her parent gave.
"It means 'the precious stone.' Your parent probably thinks of you as their precious one." Yu Qi said.
Xia Biya's eyes became soft as she heard about the meaning.
"Biya, do you know that you are special?" Yu Qi asked.
Xia Biya became alerted. She looked at Yu Qi carefully.
"You are the same as them, am I right?" Xia Biya accused.
"Them? Who are they?" Yu Qi asked.
"They! They came to take my parent. They were wearing the same white long coat that you wore last time. Don't try to deny it." Xia Biya shouted.
"What happened on that day? Can you tell me?" Yu Qi asked again.
Xia Biya trembled. "They wanted to take my parent away. But my parent refused. Then, they killed my parent. Why do they kill my parent and leave me alone?" Xia Biya started to cry.
Yu Qi hugged the girl and let the girl cry in her arm. The girl cried for such a long time. She probably held back her tear for a long time.
After a while, Xia Biya stopped crying. She rubbed her eyes.
"You are special. Like me." Yu Qi stated.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Xia Biya could not understand.
"You usually can hear the sound even if it is far away. You do not feel hungry even though you are not eating for days. You also can run faster than others. Am I right?" Yu Qi listed it out.
"Yes. Are you saying you are the same as me?" Xia Biya looked at Yu Qi.
"Hmm..." Yu Qi nodded.
"Are you going to take me away?" Xia Biya asked.
"Hmm... That is only if you want to follow me." Yu Qi smiled while patting Xia Biya's head.
"What?" Xia Biya could not understand.
"I will not force you. Everything is up to you. If you want to follow me, I will bring you over. If you don't want to follow me, there is only one thing that I want you to do. You need to live healthily and talk with others." Yu Qi said.
She did not want this girl to live an isolated life. It was cruel.
"But if I follow you, those people will know about me. They will come for me and try to take me away. If I don't follow them, I will be killed as my parent." Xia Biya still could not forget what those men did to her parent.
"You will be protected. You will be fine." Yu Qi assured Xia Biya.
"Really?" Xia Biya asked again.
"Of course." Yu Qi nodded.
Xia Biya was thinking about that. Yu Qi did not rush her. She gave time to Xia Biya to think.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWell, to be honest, she wanted Xia Biya to follow her. It was not safe for her to live alone like this. If she wanted to stay, she wanted to interact with other people as well.
"I will follow you." Xia Biya made the decision.
"Great. Let's return to your house and pack your stuff." Yu Qi stated.
"Hmm..." Xia Biya nodded.
They went to Xia Biya's house. Even though Xia Biya lived alone, the house was clean and well-kept.
Xia Biya packed her stuff. She picked up the picture of her parent and packed it together.
"Sister Yu Qi, I am done." Xia Biya said.
"Let me carry your bag." Yu Qi took the bag from Xia Biya's hand.
"We will go and meet the head first before we are leaving. We need to inform him that you are leaving with me in case he might think you are missing." Yu Qi said.
So, Yu Qi together with Xia Biya went to find Zhou Wencheng. When Zhou Wencheng saw Xia Biya with Yu Qi, he was surprised.
"Dr Tang, this is..." Zhou Wencheng asked.
Well, he never saw Xia Biya face to face. This was his face time seeing Xia Biya.
"This is Xia Biya. The girl who lives there." Yu Qi said.
Xia Biya bowed. "Grandpa, thank you for always giving me some food."
"Oh... It is nothing." Zhou Wencheng waved his hand and smiled.
"I decide to take Xia Biya away. She will have a better life from now on." Yu Qi patted Xia Biya's head.
