Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

After dinner, Wen Ci came out of the room and Yun Si followed him to the door.

"Don't bother coming to deliver food to me in the future." She said, "The hotel will deliver food, or I can go out to eat. If you have time, brother, please rest more."

She didn't miss the slight dark blue under his eyes, probably because he hadn't slept well for a long time, so his face always looked a little haggard.

It was rare to receive her concern. He was startled for a moment, then he smiled with the corners of his lips raised and hummed in a low voice.

I don’t know if I heard it or not.

She reached out out of habit to touch her face, but she subconsciously turned aside and hid for a moment.

His hand stopped where it was.

There was a smile on his face, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

"It's getting late, you should go back early, and pay attention to safety on the road."

Yun Si didn't miss his disappointed look, but she couldn't express anything and could only say what needed to be said.

"Then, should I go back first?"

"Send me to the elevator door." He said suddenly.

Yun Si: "Huh?"

"Send me to the elevator." He repeated, word for word.

"..." Yun Si glanced at the elevator not far behind him.

It's obviously only a few steps away, so why——

"Is that okay?" He asked cautiously, staring into her eyes.

Yun Si was silent for a few seconds.

Finally, he nodded and closed the door, "Let's go, I'll take you downstairs."

Sending people to the end, sending Buddha to the west, there are no shortage of these steps.

As she walked toward the elevator, Wen Ci's eyes suddenly softened and followed her.

"Ding--"

The elevator came soon.

The two of them went in together and the elevator door closed.

The doors closed and the elevator began to descend.

In a small space, the figures of two people standing side by side were reflected on the smooth panel in the elevator.

One tall, one short, stood quietly, Yun Si lowered her eyes, speechless.

From beside him, his voice came softly, "How are you doing now?"

Yun Si raised her eyes, "What?"

Wen Ci didn't look at her, his eyes only stared quietly at the two figures reflected in the elevator door.

Quietly, he asked again: "How are you doing now?"

"..." Yun Si was puzzled by his rambling question, "Why do you ask so suddenly?"

He didn't answer, only said: "I'm afraid you will have a bad life."

Really, extremely scared.

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat and you'll be hungry. I'm afraid that you'll be bullied and feel wronged all day long. I'm afraid that you'll have a bad life and won't be happy every day."

He is afraid of everything and worries about everything.

Even now, seeing her like this - already extremely independent, strong, and not easily bullied anymore, he was afraid.

I don’t dare to think about how that kind-hearted little girl who was weak, delicate, and would shed tears even if she was even hurt, how she got to where she is today step by step.

He probably suffered a lot.

he thinks.

"I'm living a good life." Yun Si said.

Although she didn't know what he was thinking and his eyes were so sad, Yun Si didn't want to tell lies and sought the truth from facts.

"Are you afraid that Amu won't treat me well? You really misunderstood him. He is a very good person and takes good care of me..."

"So, do you like him?" he asked.

Yun Si paused and said without hesitation, "I like it."

"Even if you know his identity, do you still like him?"

Yun Si looked at him, "What do you mean?"

Wen Ci slowly lowered his eyes and said softly, "I'm just afraid that you will get hurt."

In a relationship with opposing identities, someone will always get hurt.

Maybe even die.
