Chapter 423 - 8.23 Share Your Warmth
The series of notifications that rang in his mind almost made him dizzy and when he heard the last one, he almost choked on his breath.
What. The. Fuck. He must have heard wrongly. What did the system say? Revive the Miss? Who did he think Lu Yizhou was, some kind of God who could interfere with the cycle of life and death?!
Well, forget it. Lu Yizhou heaved out a long suffering sigh. If the system dared to give players such a quest, then it must be possible one way or another. There must be some kind of method to revive Ella. He just had to search for it. Calm down, Lu Yizhou, this was only the first day. He still had six more days to bring his lover out.
Lu Yizhou shifted his gaze to the timid little ghost who did not dare to meet his eyes and instead, fiddled with the hem of her dress with her gaze trained to the ground. When he recalled how this must be what his lover looked like when he was young, he got the urge to coo and squeeze those soft cheeks. "Well, Miss Ella. It’s very nice to meet you. I am Irene." A smile spread across his face, unbidden. He just couldn’t help it, Ella was so adorable!
Lu Yizhou still couldn’t ascertain what kind of connection Ella had with the other version of Zeke whom he had met previously but one thing for certain was, they were definitely not the same. He looked into Ella’s golden eyes and found none of the signs that she might have recognized him. Ella looked totally like a normal little girl — except being a ghost, of course. Based on the timeline, the Miss of the Knox Family was supposed to be 20 years old this year but this little girl was...
"How old are you?" Lu Yizhou asked curiously.
Elle opened her palms in front of her face and wiggled her fingers.
"Ten?" Lu Yizhou chuckled. When he received the girl’s shy nod, he added. "Thank you for answering me. That’s very kind of you."
Presumably she had finally been convinced that Lu Yizhou was truly not scared of her, she slowly floated closer and closer until she was finally standing in front of Lu Yizhou. All this while, Lu Yizhou patiently waited and put both hands on his lap where Ella could see. He would make sure that she knew he totally meant no harm.
