Chapter 103: Meeting Again (6)
Yinyin suddenly felt a sudden tightness in her heart, she was confused, bewildered and at a loss. What went wrong? What was overlooked? Because Ling Menghan was also in a state of sadness due to the sad things she had touched upon, she did not notice Yinyin's change, and the two of them fell silent without realizing it...
Until half an hour later.
"sorry--"
Yin Yin, who had finally managed to suppress and calm her inner feelings, squeezed out a few words, and one could tell that she was a little suppressed and there was a hint of apology in her words.
"No, it's nothing."
After a long break, Ling Menghan's mood calmed down to some extent, and she soon smiled again, but there was still some sadness in her expression that she couldn't immediately hide.
"You don't have to feel guilty. If you have a choice, don't miss it. We finally became friends, and I don't want us to go down the same path."
After adjusting her mentality, Ling Menghan actually forced herself to smile and comfort her. Hearing her comfort, Yinyin felt guilty. She couldn't tell why, but she felt that she was a little selfish. Why could Ling Menghan be so generous and comfort her, but she concealed something?
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Noticing that Yin Yin looked a little pale and evasive, Ling Menghan asked with concern.
"No, I'm fine."
As soon as Ling Menghan asked, Yin Yin answered immediately . She didn't know why, but she knew she couldn't escape, so she answered instinctively without any disguise, and her eyes met Ling Menghan's directly.
"Huh? Really? If you feel uncomfortable, you must say so. Although I don't think I have the right to say so."
Although Yin Yin's slightly pale face still made Ling Menghan a little worried, when she met Yin Yin's eyes that did not evade, Ling Menghan was slightly relieved. After all, eyes don't lie.
The more generous Ling Menghan seemed, the more Yinyin felt ashamed. Why was there such a big gap between people? She had thought that Ling Menghan and she were the same type of people, but there was a substantial difference. Even though it did not affect their good impression of each other, Yinyin felt ashamed that she could not reach the same state of mind as Ling Menghan.
"By the way, I still don't know why you came to Zhao State. Can you tell me?"
Subconsciously, Ling Menghan felt that she should not continue the serious topic, so she took the opportunity to change the topic. Ling Menghan believed in her heart that if she continued the topic, something unexpected might happen. For the sake of both parties, changing the topic was the wisest choice. In fact, her idea was completely correct.
"…I came to find someone."
Whether she was imitating Ling Menghan or not, Yin Yin did not evade it, although her tone was somewhat concealed.
"Looking for someone? Who has such great charm that would make you come all the way from Zhou Kingdom? It must be a very important person, right?"
Obviously Ling Menghan was very surprised by Yin Yin's answer. On the one hand, she was curious, and on the other hand, she was somewhat envious of Yin Yin's behavior.
"Well, but I don't know who that person is."
"Huh? What's going on?"
Ling Menghan was surprised again. How could he not know who the person was when he was looking for someone? Ling Menghan wondered if she had heard it wrong.
"I really don't know. To be honest, I have no memory of it."
"well??"
This time, Ling Menghan was not only surprised, but also very shocked. She had only heard about Yin Yin and had no idea what had happened to her.
"I... almost died once, but I came back to life. After I woke up, I forgot everything that happened before."
"You mean—"
After Yin Yin's reminder, Ling Menghan had some impression. About two years ago, Ling Menghan had heard about the Zhou Kingdom mobilizing a large number of troops to find someone to save someone. The situation at that time was rather special and few people knew the details. Ling Menghan had only heard others mention it.
"I'm surprised, aren't you? You clearly forgot about it, but you're still talking about looking for someone."
To people without memories, Yinyin's words are a little strange, but they are her true feelings.
"No, even if you have no memory, you still miss that person, right? That person must be very important to you. But, since you don't know who it is, can you find him like this?"
Ling Menghan was not discriminating against anything, she was just simply concerned. Since there was no memory, it must be very difficult to find that person. Since Yinyin had come here from afar, she must have some clues. Ling Menghan felt a little relieved for Yinyin.
"Is it important? I guess so. I only remember this one person."
"A man?"
"Um."
"That must be your lover."
“…Maybe.”
"Uh, is he from Zhao? Or is he because you met him here?"
Yin Yin did not continue answering because she herself did not know the answer to the last question.
"sorry."
"No, no need to apologize."
Noticing Yin Yin's strange behavior, Ling Menghan apologized immediately. She didn't want Yin Yin to be unhappy because of her slip of the tongue. After all, no one wants to create that feeling.
"I have always been avoiding it, not knowing what to do, so I have hurt many people without realizing it. This time, I am afraid it will be the last time. I want to take the initiative to find him. I don't know why he left me, but I know he must have a reason or hardship. He didn't tell me, it must be for my own good, but I can't let him bear it all alone because of my own reasons. I think, if I hadn't met you, I might have continued to bury all this in my heart. Maybe this is fate."
The implication was a gesture of goodwill to Ling Menghan. That was the fact. It was not easy to meet a confidant with whom one could talk. Today, Yin Yin spoke out all the words that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time to a confidant whom she thought was worthy.
