Chasing Happiness

Chasing Happiness

After a long day of work together, they finally close the shop and sit down to enjoy the freshly cooked food.

Xiao Xun hands Gui her chopsticks and smiles, "sorry. This is the only food we can serve."

She shook her head, "it's fine. I enjoy eating fish." Gui decides to dig in until she saw a perculiar scar on Xiao Xun's neck. She couldn't help but stare.

Xiao Xun notices her long look and covers her neck with her hair, "eat up."

Gui just nods and slowly eats the food.

Xiao Xun looks at her and faintly sighs, "it was an accident," she says, "when I was little. I don't know how I got it, I don't remember."

Gui looks at her slightly and forces a smile, "it's ok. You don't have to tell me." She looked around, "ey, where's your grandpa?"

She smiles, "he's probably sleeping. If not he's getting the net set up at the harbor. He'll be home soon."

Gui just nods and begins to eat, but she couldn't help but feel so strange in this place. She wanted to come here for a specific reason, but somehow, she had ended up here instead.

********************************************************************************

Ya Tou stares at the white curtains that were blocking the scene that was going on in Aaron's hospital room. She clenches onto the wall and slowly turns around.

"Ya Tou!"

She looks to her left and sees Hebe and Ah Ben rushing towards them.

"What happened?" Ah Ben asks staring at her painful eyes.

Hebe stares at the window, noticing she was unable to see anything.

Ya Tou cries and holds onto Ah Ben. "Ge! I'm scared... is Aaron Ge alright? He's going to be ok right?!"

Ah Ben pats her lightly on the back and forces a smile, "of course. Remember, he's too strong to get hurt. No matter what happens, we'll stand with him through this together."

Hebe's hands were shaking as she heard the commotion from the otherside. Tears forms in her eyes as she notices the monitor had stopped. "Aaron..." she says lightly, "Aaron..." she cries and quickly rushes to the door, trying to force it open, "Aaron!" She cries, "Aaron!!"

Ah Ben rushes to stop her, "Hebe! Calm down!"

She broke down and falls to her knees in tears. She covers her face with her hands and continues to cry.

Ya Tou stands over her and breathes, "Hebe Jie... please be patient... Aaron would only want us to be patient for him."

Hebe looks up at the them and turns away, "tell me... what exactly is wrong with Aaron?"

Ya Tou and Ah Ben looked at each other and remained silent.

*********************************************************************************

Mr. Wu is sitting in his office, staring at the opened windows, seeing the beautiful view of Taipei.

A knock came to his door, without saying anything, Wang Zi came in and sighs.

"Wang Zi..." he says lightly without facing him, "tell Chen to get the car ready. We'll be leaving soon."

He sighs and closes the door behind him as he walks up to Mr. Wu, "are you really going to do this?"

He faces Wang Zi and folds his hands together, "of course. If I don't... won't Gui keep running away? This is for her own good." He stands up and was going to walk out.

"Uncle..." Wang Zi calls out stopping him from leaving. He doesn't dare to face him, "please don't do this... if you do... Gui will only despise you more. Think about Gui... how do you think she'll feel?"

"It doesn't matter how she feels. I'm her father, and what I say will always be right. No matter how she feels, I can look past that." He then heads out leaving Wang Zi to think about his words.

But no matter how evil Mr. Wu is, Wang Zi knew, he couldn't change his final answer. Even if Mr. Wu is wrong, Wang Zi can only stand by and watch the destruction before him.

**********************************************************************************

Gui is staring at the open window, smelling the air of the sea breeze. "Being away..." she thought to herself, "I miss him so much..."

"I'm sorry you can't come in!"

Gui heard the rucas downstairs and rushed towards the stairs to see what was going on.

"Please, I need to speak to her--"

Gui was confused at the sight, "Ah Ben."

He looks up and sees her, also caught off guard, "Gui..."
