Chapter 818: Familiar Yet Unfamiliar People
Late at night, Jian Shen stood on the rooftop, feeling the chilly wind and observing the quiet town below that was shrouded in darkness, with not even a flicker of light or a trace of movement, as silent as a city of the dead.
Lin Xi also climbed up to the rooftop and couldn’t help but complain, "I really don’t get you experts, always standing on rooftops as if it makes you look more formidable."
Jian Shen smiled and then extended his hand to pull Lin Xi up, murmuring, "The wind is strong on the rooftop, be careful not to catch a cold."
"If you’re not afraid, why should I be? Achoo~" Lin Xi sneezed, then rubbed her nose and pretended everything was fine.
Jian Shen laughed again, "You’re still as stubborn as before. It seems that without the duties of a queen, you’ve reverted to your former self."
"Is it bad to be my former self?" Lin Xi said, arching an eyebrow.
Jian Shen didn’t say anything but simply smiled. He felt that Qian Ye before him was slowly changing back to her old self and their relationship was becoming increasingly harmonious, giving Jian Shen the illusion that he no longer had to seek out Qian Feng to lift the magic placed on Qian Ye, or perhaps the magic was gradually losing its effect.
When Lin Xi saw the affectionate look in Jian Shen’s eyes, her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and the flutter of emotion made her immediately avert her gaze, avoiding eye contact with Jian Shen.
Lin Xi thought she just wanted to spend more time with Jian Shen, to be by his side, to make up for the regrets of their past life. She had never intended to truly let herself fall, that would be unfair to Gu Fan.
