"Are you calling out to me?" Guan Kunling gazed at him, her icy eyes betraying no emotion.
Lu Chi nodded emphatically, his eyes glimmering with joy, though tinged with a dreamy haze. He spoke and laughed simultaneously, "You’re alive! You’re really still alive! Jiaqi, don’t be afraid. I’ll take you home."
Guan Kunling thought this man might be a fool, his words reeking of madness.
"I’m not Jiang Jiaqi. I am Guan Kunling. You’ve mistaken me for someone else. Farewell," she said.
Lu Chi seemed unable to hear her words and continued staring at her. "You’ve finally come back. Are you still angry with me? Where have you been hiding all these years? We all thought you were dead. Did you talk to your brother? How did you even..."
"I am Guan Kunling!" Her voice suddenly rose, cold and sharp enough to pierce the eardrums. "Keep calling me the wrong name, and I will kill you."
The name Guan Kunling was bestowed upon her by her lord, and she would never allow anyone to miscall it.
Her threat worked, and the atmosphere instantly became tense...
Ignoring him, Guan Kunling stroked her stomach and entered a nearby restaurant.
She was hungry and too tired to speak further.
Her lord had once taught her that regardless of the situation, she should ensure she ate regularly each day and never let herself go hungry. Hunger would dull the spirit; only after eating could the body and mind be restored.
Lu Chi stood there dumbfounded. She looked so alike... if not Jiaqi, who else could it be? He vividly remembered Jiang Jiaqi’s features. Though over the years, Jiang Jiaqi hadn’t even graced his dreams, he dared not dream of her too freely—the dead are dead. But now, she stood alive and vibrant before his eyes.
