Monster Tamer In The Apocalypse - Chapter 14 Promise

In the afternoon Zhang Kai went to meet Chen Qiang, and he found him like usual in the living room with his sisters, then he called him.

“Young master.”

Chen Qiang was just watching the movie on the sofa with his sisters when he heard Zhang Kai calling him. He turns his head to him and asks,

“What happen uncle?”

“This is about the pasture,” Zhang Kai calmly replied.

Chen Qiang heard his uncle mentioning the pasture and unhesitantly he looked to his sisters and said,

“Sisters, I’m sorry I can’t watch the movie with you today as I have something to do now,” Chen Qiang said this awkwardly as he was really helpless about it.

In the morning he can’t leave his training together with them, while the time left in the afternoon he uses that to train his pets or he gets extremely tired because of the training, so he just can have time with his sisters at night.

Chen Qiang just had a lot of time when he was free from his training, but even that he sometimes had matters to do. He really cannot count how many times they get interrupted like this.

“Tch, just go away if you don’t want to be with us,” Chen Xi said while puffing up her cheeks.

“It is not like that Xi’er, I…” Chen Qiang just wants to explain when Chen Xi cut him.

“I know what you want to say! Just go.” Seeing his brother still wanted to go, Chen Xi said with slight anger.

“But…” Chen Qiang wants to say something but he swallowed it when he sees Chen Xi’s expression. He then looks to Chen Qing. She is still calmly watching the movie when he glances at her. Then she also looked at him.

Although she just looks like doesn’t care but he knows she is not happy as well. Their time together has been shorter and shorter except when they are training as he has to handle some matters.

He really knows his sisters well, not to say he has 3 years together in the future with his sister from his past life. He knows Chen Qing’s personality. In her school, she even has nicknames like the cold beauty, ice queen, proud swan, etc.

Like the nickname. Maybe to the other person, she just physically attractive women with off-putting personalities, repulsive attitudes, cold, proud and has little regard for another’s interests and feelings.

She exudes an air of determination and steely emotion beneath the surface, causing others to tread lightly when she is around.

Maybe from her point of view, you have to be really special before she allows you. Often temporary, emotional access. The proof was that even when she acts like that she still has some friends that genuinely care about her.

However, for him, she is just a little girl that has the difficult to express her emotions. Because deep down, however, she is lonely and fearful. So she compensates with an inflated icy exterior due to an extreme sense of vulnerability. The fierce independence (or appearance of independence) she shows can be off-putting and admirable, but that also makes him hurt.

In his past life, although he knows the reason too, he still assumes she wants to be independent. Because when on the front of Chen Xi or him, she did not stand out in the acting, so that is why he assumed that.

Well, the main reason he didn’t understand them was still because of himself though. He rarely has time with them as he got too busy with college and business. Back then, he was really trying hard to study and manage businesses because he wanted to inherit and continue his father’s inheritance and didn’t want to make his deceased parents disappointed in their burial.

Their relationships have become stagnant since then, even slowly becoming distanced. Because times never stop for all and they will continue to grow. His sisters truly became independent and didn’t depend on him again. They also got busy with their activities. Even Chen Xi was sometimes not to go home continuously, she always hangs around with her friends. That is why he told her not to stop her from school early. And Chen Qing…

Slowly her acting becomes a habit and even becomes not an exception to him. She starts closed to him, like a childhood friend that only knows their name and nothing else.

One night when he went to the toilet he heard faint sob in her room so he came over, he came inside as he saw the doors slightly open.

He saw Chen Qing lying prone on his bed while she buried her head on the pillow. Instantly he comes over to sit on the edge of her bed. He wants to ask her what happens and console her, but he instead became her sister’s target from her anger.

He just looked at her face that still poured tears and took all of her punches and harsh words that launched at him. In the end, she just cries in his bosom. When he sees her has calmed, then he asks her what happened. But with a faint smile, she replied that she was too tired to explain and just push him outside of her room.

After that day he tried to ask her about that, but she always avoids or changes the subject, so he tries asking his little sisters. At first, she tried lying to him, but who is he? He is their brother. How can he doesn’t know when her sister tries to tell nonsense to him. But even then he got difficult to dig the answer and tried a lot of means, including he would conceal that she who tells him about this.

In the end, he got the answer from her. At first, he thought that Chen Qing had gotten bullied or something like that, but the reason was, she had broken up with her boyfriend.

Precisely her boyfriend severs their relationship because he got tired of her attitude. He gets gawked because of that. He thinks this is a really serious matter because her calm sister gets truly angry and sad, how can a matured woman be like a little child when her candy gets stolen.

He thought back that night when his sister got angry, why didn’t she just tell him? Why does she keep that like some secret? And even his little sister, why didn’t she tell him too if she knew about that? But the most upsetting thing is why he doesn’t even know about it? Does he really get too distant from them? His little sister even knows about this, although he didn’t know from whom she knows this, is Chen Qing college friend or Chen Qing herself.

That night, he just kept thinking about that. He started to feel he didn’t know them enough and adding more to the reason it was not that they didn’t want to know by him, but that he had turned his body and just given them his back. He always thinks they have become independent and mature. But they were just his younger sisters he knew back then, his spoiled sisters.

But the truth was it was just their mask to hide how weak they are. He really feels sad, regrets and disappointed in himself, that night he really just wants to embrace his sister and say sorry.

He slowly starts approaching them and rebuilds their relationship again. Slow but sure Chen Qing starts open to him and Chen Xi acts spoils in front of him.

But that happens again, the proof he didn’t know them well. Before when Chen Qing committed suicide or after their little sister died, he didn’t aware of Chen Qing’s change. He again assumed that she tried to become strong in that wrecked world. However, the truth was she just closed her heart again from the impact of Chen Xi’s death. She doesn’t want to feel the loss of someone very important to her again. She was very desperate. She really tried to get strong for her brother. She knows they just have each other but she always feels lost when her brother is not around and often has nightmares.

Chen Qiang doesn’t know it until that event. He really felt broken back then. With just one purpose he still continues his feet to step on, with just one purpose he is doing what he can to continue fending from the threat, with just one purpose he does whatever means to continue his breath, and when he realizes it, it has long gone and seems turned into dust. He found out how childish, stupid and pathetic he was.

Now he absolutely would not let anything like that happens again. He will make them regarding him as the most important person they have.

His hard work slowly showed the result. They started to get closer to him more and more. As they are still dependent on him, he easily deepens their feelings more than in his past life when they are still close to him. Even Chen Qing would not dare again show her cold look in front of him.

“Brother are you okay?” In the end, Chen Qing said with worry when she sees her brother has long gotten dazed, then he stares at Chen Xi. She knows he did not just spend his time at random, not like them that still spent their lot freely time leisurely. He always handles something that looks so important. Well, she still doubts about all of this training, though.

However, they are still doing what their brother said, even if their brother was harsh in the training. Because they can still feel his love for them. No matter what they said as long as he could do it, he would not slightly hesitate.

Chen Xi knows she has gotten excessive. She felt guilty, so she looked down and just wanted to say sorry when her brother suddenly talked,

“No, I’m okay, I just think how I apologize to you, so tomorrow I think I will bring you somewhere,” Chen Qiang hurriedly said when he noticed their expression.

“No no, I’m sorry. I don’t want it! You want to bring us to those place again right?” Chen Xi said as she was terrified when she remembered it again. Initially, he brings them to the waterfall to watch the scenery, then they play in the water near the waterfall. But afterward, their devil brother forced them to stay under it! Moreover, for a long time! To the point made their body very sore when only slightly moved!

“Of course not. If you don’t believe, we can go wherever you want” He got slightly awkward when seeing the terrified expression of his sister.

After all, it was like killing two birds with one stone, they could play while training. Though it makes them slightly hard to trust him again in a few days after that.

“Are you sure?!” Chen Xi then said with excitement as they had long not truly ‘Enjoying’ when going out.

“Haha Sure, I do not dare either if you get mad at me.” Chen Qiang said with a smile, he really gets amused by Chen Xi’s abrupt changes of expression.

“Its promise, right?”

“Don’t worry, it is a promise. Ok, I will go first,” He said and then approaching Zhang Kai.

“Brother, don’t forget that!”

“I will not, my dear Xi’er” he replied with a smile while looking back at her.
