If The Moon Can Be Counted As A Star - Chapter 49

Doctor Frei continued talking about Xiao Mei Zhi’s work in progress as he provided her the details on the paper.

“Aside from the treatment, you must bare all the hardships.”

Xiao Mei Zhi glared at Doctor Frei as if he does not see how much she was struggling to survive without her mother by her side. She wanted to decline the needs that Doctor Frei said however, if she would not follow then. . perhaps Misses Zhi died in vain.

“Qiji and Jingyi will be keeping an eye on Xiao Mei Zhi. It would be even better if Xiao Mei Zhi could learn how to fight so she can protect Qiji and Jingyi too.” Doctor Frei said with a hint of advice that was directing to Xiao Mei Zhi.

“Also I prepared gifts for the three of you to communicate,” Doctor Frei took out a remote with a blue button and pressed it with his right thumb. Then four people appeared, walking towards the table. They are bringing white, small boxes.

“Give it to them,” Doctor Frei ordered the three people that has the boxes while the single one who did not have a box explained the details of the item, “This is a new model phone, made by Freis company. The applications that are necessary for your daily life has been installed. It is built as water proof and gun base. Also, in possibility of emergencies just dial the number seven. Any questions?”

“What is the phones brand?” Bai Biao asks.

“Legacy.”

Doctor Frei created a legacy as an inspiration to get in touch with his daughter in the future which was Xiao Mei Zhi. He also has another business but he was doing it for the pack to survive, without this industry then werewolves, witches, elves and many more hybrids to mention will not be able to see and understand the human world.

“Am I allowed to speak?” Xiao Mei Zhi raise her left hand like a clueless student. In addition, she stared deeply at the plate in front of her.

“You are already speaking so..” Doctor Frei said as Xiao Mei Zhi started talking, “Why are you telling us what to do and in such a detailed manner? Are you leaving or what?” Mister Shirong glanced at Doctor Frei then he shifted his view at Xiao Mei Zhi, “See, I will not be around to watched my people here. Which means I need to rely on each and everyone to do their task well. Including Bai Biao and Mister Shirong but there jobs are different from the three of you.”

“Let’s not forget, my foster son will arrive here and I already told Mister Frei about this which got us in an agreement that Xiao Mei Zhi will guide him,” Mister Shirong stated out.

“Me? Why me? I have my issue to solve. I can not make another time with what kind of creature that person is.” Xiao Mei Zhi reacted rudely at Mister Shirong which got Doctor Frei to insert in between the conversation, “You have no rights to reject this simple task as Mister Shirong and I already agreed upon by this and it has been printed out which means the papers you are reading and holding right now are yours to follow and keep.”

In shock, a sudden onset of frustration got Xiao Mei Zhi cursed, “Takoyaki!”

Then she added, “This is invading my rights to decide,”

Doctor Frei knew that however, for Xiao Mei Zhis safety he made a list for everyone to keep on watch for her even if he would not be around in the residence. That was part of his main goal as a father.

“And here are your papers,” Doctor Frei distributed the rest of the sheets to Mister Shirong and Bai Biao. But something was off between Doctor Frei and Bai Biao, they were both having an alarming attitude towards each other. Xiao Mei Zhi noticed that but only for a quick time.

“I am thirsty,” Mister Shirong interrupted Doctor Frei and Bai Biao as they hold the edge of the paper, “Yes sir, water coming right up,” The active maid took the glass on Mister Shirongs side and poured the water on it.

“Are you not going to let go of the paper Doctor Frei?” Mister Shirong reminded him. Thankfully, Doctor Frei let go of the paper and Bai Biao coughed up.

“Should I get the foods now?” The maid asked Mister Shirong instead of Doctor Frei, “Should I do the honor?” Mister Shirong asked Doctor Frei but Jingyi told the maid to do it, “Go get the foods now. This adult talks are making me dizzy and hungry.”

Doctor Frei nodded at the maid and it was the cue to serve out the food for dinner.

“Am I the only one who is seeing the soup turn cold in the center? No one noticed it? Or is it my illusion?” Xiao Mei Zhi said as she yank the table cloth.

Literally , Doctor Frei did not mind the soup at first since he was to busy focusing on what to say to them and thought about the tasks he listed down , was he being harsh? No. He was sure it ain’t that hard for them to comply including Xiao Mei Zhis current state.

“By the way,” Mister Shirong pulled out a blood-stained gun that was on his belted waist under his shirt, “Are you surprise?” He leveled it up to Bai Biao forehead. That was uncalled for. Yet, Doctor Frei was not startled. This scenario has happened a long time , if Mister Shirong do that gestures it means that he wanted that person to be truth worthy enough for him to be at eased on every ideal step he will take. Mister Shirong might wondered what Doctor Frei told him earlier. Guess he made a choice back then. A test of courage and loyalty.

“Bai Biao , I like that you are here and there protecting us,” Mister Shirong move his desert eagle nearer to Bai Biaos forehead, while Bai Biao smirked. “Someone like me should not be scared to get shot or killed.”

Mister Shirong gradually pulled the trigger. While Xiao Mei Zhi, Jingyi, Qiji and the maids that were there was expecting a bang but it did not happen.

There was no bullet.

Bai Biao went wide-eyed. Doctor Frei let out a chuckle as Mister Shirongs gaze drifted casually to the arrival of the foods that was no being placed at the table.

“That was not a funny trick Mister Shirong,” Bai Biao stated with an uncomfortable laugh.

“It was not. I hope you can stay in touch with me after this dinner.” Bai Biao relaxed his back at the support of the chair.

“I will be.”
