cln's

i waited for chunhua and zhenghao near the school's gate since chunhua called me beforehand that zhenghao's been feeling weak

a taxi stopped right infront of me and i saw the both of them going out, chunhua carried zhenghao using her back

"hey! you're a girl! are you sure you can carry him? give him to me." i suggested as i waited for her to lend zhenghao to me

she just shook her head, "no, it's okay. i can manage"

i looked at her weirdly as she started to walk away, leaving me from my spot, "YAH! CHEN LINONG! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? LET'S GO AT THE CLINIC! WE CAN'T LET HIM DIE FROM FEVER!"

"oh right, i'm sorry" i muttered under my breath as i immediately followed them, i noticed the pale skin of zhenghao and wondered what might have happened

i know he was sent out by Mr. Zhang to spy but i didn't expect it would come out like this!

"yo sis and nongnong!" ling chao greeted us at the hallway while eating his chips, as he went nearer, he quickly noticed zhenghao's bad condition,

dropping his chips as he screamed, "OH MY LORD, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?"

chunhua just lowered her head and walked forward, we immediately catched up to her inside the school's clinic

once inside, she let zhenghao rest on one of the beds as she also sits on the bed and stretched her body, "sis, what happened?"

she roamed her eyes around the place, "no one's here right? including the nurse?"

me and ling chao nodded as we both waited for chunhua to continue, "i don't think it's because of the trauma, he's really fine before we went inside the taxi"

"what do you think might have caused him?" i furrowed my eyebrows, confused

"i think it's because of the touch"

"what touch?" i asked once again and turned my head to see ling chao in case he knows

ling chao nodded as he sits on a vacant chair, "the same event that happened to yue-ge?"

"probably.. we had a physical contact earlier and i really think i acquired his powers"

i dropped my jaws in awe, "earlier, we just talked about you acquiring powers and being the chosen one and now it's coming true!"

she sighed, "but i don't like it. i don't like the idea. the pressure."

"she's been begging me if we could change powers but i don't know how. can we give this opportunity to another person instead?" her twin brother asked

i gasped, "are you kidding me? being the chosen one is a privilege! you've got to save the whole world!"

"if it's called the chosen one, then why there are two of us?"

ling chao tilted his head as i ask, "who's the another one?"

"don't tell it to anyone but it's Zhang Yankai, he's been acquiring powers lately too but he doesn't give any illnesses to others compared to mine"

i noticed zhenghao waking up and trying to move but i refrain him from doing so, "relax kid, you're still feeling weak"

he shook his head as he sits up, "no, i'm feeling fine now"

"that's great, i guess but which clan did Mr. Zhang asked you to spy on?" i asked which led for ling chao's ears to hear our conversation more as if anytime now, he could give gossips to anyone

"YAH GEGE! THIS IS CONFIDENTIAL! YOU BETTER NOT TELL IT TO OTHERS!" chunhua protested

ling chao rolled his eyes, "you never know, we could help maybe. our clan could help."

zhenghao wavered his eyes before he answered, "you'll never believe which clan and whose close friend of ours is a member of"

we heard a clicking sound and we saw maotong entering the school's clinic, "UWAAAAA ZHENGHAO! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?"

he immediately engulfed zhenghao into a hug as zhenghao tries to escape, "uhm okay please let go now, it's awkward"

maotong fake cried as he broke the hug, "did you had a meeting or something? may i join?"

"you'll be of great help, so please stay here" i ordered and he immediately finds a seat afterwards

"so, zhenghao. please continue." ling chao stated

zhenghao sighed before he continued, "so i spied the unknown clan of yankai, and he's from the dark side"

i froze to my place as ling chao and maotong stopped from what they are doing, as for chunhua she seems fine

i pointed my index finger to zhenghao, "you're not lying, are you?"

"how can i even lie in this time of the year? it's almost Christmas!"

ling chao pouted, "chunhua talked about yankai being the chosen one too, does that mean he's faking the powers he acquired?"

maotong shook his head as he wiggle his index finger from left to right, "as what i have know, the dark side really wanted to have a chosen one from their clan but in all 8 prominent clans in China, they are the only ones who are prohibited to have one"

all of us nodded as we waited for maotong to continue, "so, they are forced to kidnap someone which might have happened to be Zhang Yankai because they thought HE REALLY IS THE CHOSEN ONE"

ling chao butted in, "then what he is really?", chunhua nudged her arm to her twin brother, making the latter to keep quiet

maotong coughed before he continued, "since we all know that the Zhang's are from the family who mastered the use of weapons hence Zhang Yankai is a normal person but because he has these kind of powers, he is not considered as a normal person and someone like us too"

chunhua tweaked her hair, "i'm getting more and more confused as the word count gets higher"

zhenghao nodded, "i agree. if it is this difficult to be intellectual, i'll just put up a business then"

"i've read this premonition somewhere in the books written by an ancestral Chen before" i stated as i rest my head on my palms

ling chao asked, "can you go straight to the point? what kind of person he really is?"

maotong frowned, "he is the cursed one, neither a normal person nor an unordinary person. this type of person only existed in every 99th chosen one that is born"

"so what am i? the 99th person? ever since?" chunhua asked, pointing at herself

maotong looked up as if there are floating books above him, "according to my datas, you are the 297th chosen one ever since"

all of us gasped as maotong was feeling proud of himself, chunhua asked, "does yankai will bring any harm to us?"

maotong stared at chunhua for a second before he spoke, "we actually don't know. the only thing we could do is to save yankai from the dark side before it's too late"

"and we could all do this with chunhua's help, am i right maotong?" i winked at him as he winked back

"indeed, my dear cousin"
