Shuji is leaning against the terrace of the mansion. Shuji looks around to see happy people with the whole family. He remembered his family when they were together.
"Are you looking for your girlfriend?" when Lixue leaned against the iron and bent her two elbows and where her body was facing inside their house.
"Yes, I've been looking for her presence because I've been here on the island for a few days, Lixue what are you going to do now that you know I know who you are?" Shuji asked without looking, he was still looking at the people.
"I won't do anything but, you?" Lixue asked.
"What I told you, I will do, no one will know who you are, Papa trusted you," Shuji replied to Lixue.
"Be careful of your stalker, Shuji, they have the same target as your father—you are being followed by Aiya Gayag and his father is the business partner in an illegal business, not sure if there is any truth to what has been gathered that Drick is evidence about Don Emilio, we even found out that they are both related," Lixue replied to Shuji.
"Why are you helping me?" Shuji asked Lixue.
"Because you are the son of my godfather, Shuji and I owe my godfather what I want in return is to help you even though I have a problem," Lixue said to Shuji.
"This island is so big, why don't you live here and manage it yourself?" Shuji asked, still not facing Lixue, who was also turned away.
"I don't want the painful past to come back to my memory," Lixue answered, raising both hands to stretch them out.
"You said, your mommy and your sister are dead?" Shuji asked and turned to face Lixue.
"Yes, she's dead but my sister I know she's alive I'll look for them all over the world just to complete myself," Lixue answered and she smiled afterward.
"Aiya Gayag, Erika mentioned to me that she became our schoolmate when she met her in the lobby the day she went and I must admit that I still want to know who you really are, yes, you said you are an angel but I still don't believe it is what we saw true or not." Shuji and I stared at Lixue's back.
"Check, hmm..it's true but in your mind, he doesn't believe in what your heart sees, believes what it sees, you're not hallucinating or rolling your eyes," Lixue replied with a smile to Shuji.
"Will you teach me now?" Shuji asked Lixue when he turned his gaze.
"It's late at night for now we'll go to the tourist spot of Palawan except our island, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the resort," Lixue replied before leaving Shuji, she went straight to her bedroom and took the robe before going into her bathroom to bathe.
"What's wrong?" Shuji said to himself and looked at Lixue's retreating bulk.
He also walked and went downstairs to where the kitchen was. When he got there, he got a glass and a pitcher and filled the glass with water before drinking it.
"That's all you look like?" Lixue said almost spilling water from Shuji's mouth when he was surprised.
"Why not?" Shuji said and wiped his mouth with his palm and put down the glass with water.
"There's nothing like that, come on, Shuji," Lixue said and walked away.
Shuji followed and when he asked where the someone, he saw in the underground was. Shuji saw the someone he was looking for standing outside and waiting in front of the car.
"She treats this someone differently," Shuji said to himself and looked at the man.
Lixue and Shuji got into the car and Shuji was surprised when the man took a seat next to Lixue which his bodyguard didn't do often. Another bodyguard came and took the driver's seat.
Shuji was just staring at the two people next to him who were serious-looking and quiet.
"Where do you want to go?" Lixue asked Shuji without looking back.
People haven't been there?" Shuji said he knew it was impossible that there was a place in Palawan.
Shuji just turned around when Lixue spoke in another language to the bodyguard.
"Rang women ba ta dai dao zhiyou women zhidao di difang." Lixue looked at their bodyguard who was driving the car.
(Let's take him to the place we are the only ones who know.)
Shuji saw the bodyguard nod and they left the forest. When they were on the city road the car turned left.
"Are we going back to Manila?" Shuji asked as he turned his gaze to Lixue.
"We won't go through here either," Lixue said as she looked at Shuji.
Shuji watched the ride until they came to a large tree. They heard a rush of water coming from behind.
"There's a waterfall behind that?" Shuji asked Lixue.
"Did you hear the sound of the water, Shuji? You are the chosen one because a mortal cannot hear the sound of the waterfall from behind the tree. This place is so mysterious that only an ordinary person can hear the water." Lixue replied, Shuji was silent on what she said to him.
Have the vehicle parked on the side of the tree before they get off. As they walked, Shuji was surprised when suddenly there were more trees in their path.
"The trees you see now are the burnt trees behind the lone tree we passed earlier," Lixue said when she saw the surprise on Shuji's face.
"This is what the tree burn looked like earlier?" Shuji said he was impressed by the appearance of the tree.
They walked until they reached the bridge where the waterfall was pouring cold water.
"Wow!" Shuji said in amazement and raised his hand and pointed it at the waterfalls.
"The water coming out of the underwater pool is from there, Shuji haven't you ever swam in the underwater pool from here and the water goes from there," Lixue said as she took Shuji's cellphone.
Lixue just nodded and she took a picture and showed the result of what she did.
"Blank? A tree doesn't want to show up with this beauty." Shuji said when he saw the result of what Lixue did.
"Yes, because the forest is so mysterious that no one shows up except us and you," Lixue said to Shuji.
"Who are they really?" Shuji said to the companions.
"You will know me and them when you open your heart," Lixue answered, she smiled afterward.
Lixue returned Shuji's cellphone before they walked to the other side. They walked and saw various animals surrounding their path.
"I have a question," Shuji asked as he turned back to where he came from and where he was.
"What is your question?" Lixue asked and suddenly bowed down because her wing spontaneously came out.
"Are they true and all I can see right now." Shuji and I still couldn't believe what we were seeing.
"There is nothing untrue in what you see now, indeed, the ordinary human does not see them," Lixue said, she just smiled and flew away with the flying birds.
"What you see is true, nothing is not true to them the only difference is that they are not seen by mortal beings except that the father gave someone permission." the bodyguard said to Shuji causing him to turn around.
Shuji understands English a little bit but he is not fluent in English because he is not accustomed to talking to foreigners.
"Oh?" Shuji said as he frowned.
"He said, what you see is real, there is nothing unreal about them, the only difference is that they cannot be seen by mortal people except the father who permitted the person." another someone replied causing Shuji to nod.
Shuji was surprised to see the smile on Lixue's lips, he knew he had just seen Lixue's true smile.
Shuji signaled to the two people next to him not to report because he was going to take a picture of Lixue.
"Thank you, her smile is beautiful, I'm just happy," Shuji said when the two looked at him afterward.
"Just be careful, sir, don't you have a girlfriend? She might see it as a reason to make Miss Chen jealous." the bodyguard said Shuji remembered his girlfriend in Manila.
Then, the four of them returned to where they were and where the vehicle was used, after a few hours.
"Thank you, Lixue, I'm glad we went, it's a pity I don't even have a remembrance," Shuji said to Lixue when they were in the car on their way back to the resort.
Lixue just smiled at Shuji and turned on his cellphone.
When they returned to the resort.
Shuji and Lixue went straight to the underground for training.
