91: Chapter 10 Reaching Out to the Fading Figure_2 91: Chapter 10 Reaching Out to the Fading Figure_2 “I’ve been following you the whole ti,” the young man in the suit said “astonished,” “I thought you didn’t want to take the skyway today.”
“It’s not that, I specifically bought a gift for the new resident!!” She angrily lifted the shopping bag, “It’s all your fault for not reminding !”
“Yeah, yeah, it’s all my fault.”
What on earth was in that tote bag?
Even he couldn’t fathom what quirky idea the girl might have had.
But he believed that Kardesia’s temporary cohabitant would certainly display a marvelous expression upon receiving the gift, a thought that made him, her brother, quite happy.
“Are you enjoying living with your new roommate?”
“Pretty good, I guess~” Kardesia answered ambiguously, “He seems like soone with lots of stories…
but sotis he appears so innocent, just like Qiluo-chan.”
Innocent?
If Gongsun were to hear such a description, he’d probably be the first to disagree.
And from the perspective of a relative, he felt the term might actually be quite fitting.
But to use this term to describe that pink-haired girl just didn’t seem right.
“I believe…” He pulled out a notebook from his pocket, “Miss Qiluo is not an innocent person.”
Kardesia raised her eyebrows.
“Oh Ya?”
“Miss Qiluo may appear clueless and her actions odd, but in my eyes, her movents are carried out with a certain purpose.”
Shiyu Lianyi spread open the notebook to a page cataloged with a tiline.
“Singing on the streets is to attract attention.
Holding onto Gongsun by any ans necessary is to keep the only person who can recognize her.
Through interactions with Gongsun, she successfully regained so of her abilities, which is of great benefit to Miss Qiluo who desires to find herself again.
She imdiately clung to this new man she t and sched to stay by his side; those intimate actions were all deliberate efforts to bridge the distance, not the naive innocence she projects—how’s that for an explanation?”
The blonde hat-wearing woman patted his shoulder with a grave expression.
“Lianyi, you could be a bit more optimistic.
The world isn’t always as bad as you think.”
“Ha ha.”
“Viewing people through a tinted lens will make you interpret all actions as deliberate!
Geez, try to trust others a little more!”
Shiyu Lianyi put away his notebook and blinked.
“Wasn’t it Kardesia who told ‘the city is dangerous and for soone who isn’t good at direct combat like you, learn to protect yourself’ and slipped a handgun?”
“Ah…”
The blonde woman with her mouth half-open, stood there awkwardly for a while before retorting unreasonably amidst the young man’s laughter, “That was then, this is now!
You have to learn to adapt!”
“Indeed.”
Seizing the opportunity, the girl began to criticize him under the guise of giving advice: “That’s why!
It’s because of this that Lianyi can’t find a girlfriend!”
“Ah?”
The young man in the suit was taken aback.
Kardesia pointed at him, annoyed, “Your gloomy way of thinking makes you co off as up to no good!
I’ve introduced you to several classmates, but they said they feel uneasy getting close to you!”
That’s more likely due to the bad reputation you and Gongsun carry.
…Wait a second.
Wait, wait a second.
“Kardesia, you introduced to your classmates…?”
The blonde girl leaned on his shoulder like an uncle, her fingers restlessly twirling in front of his eyes.
“Hey hey, we’re in university now, aren’t we?
It’s not the ti to be secretly watching videos in bed anymore, but to take real action, right?”
The young man in the suit beca flustered for once.
“Ah, what?”
“What I an is, it’s about ti Lianyi found a girlfriend!
You can’t stay with like this forever!”
Completely…
unforeseeable.
That she would say sothing like this.
What’s wrong with you?
What has gotten into you lately?
Have you been involved in so incident?
Did Sister Ling say sothing…
Have you noticed sothing abnormal about him?
Discovered, the past existence of Shiyu Lianyi?
An indescribable sense of panic rose from his heart, and it was then that the young man in the suit realized he might have made a wrong decision.
What could he do now…
he had to do sothing…!
“You see, in another ten or twenty years, we won’t look the sa as we do now.”
But the words coming from the other person weren’t what he had in mind.
“In a decade or so, will Lianyi turn into a handso uncle?
I don’t have the confidence to remain as youthful and pretty as I am now, after all, ti is a woman’s arch-nesis.”
It had nothing to do with the inner world, nothing to do with the dark past.
Just an ordinary girl, envisioning her own future.
“By that ti, we’ll no longer be students, and the ti left to enjoy our youth is just now.
You can’t be like and go looking for high school students at 40, right?
You’d get picked up as a suspect!”
Kardesia giggled incessantly.
“So, Lianyi, take the chance to find a girlfriend now and try out the taste of love.
Although love can make a person foolish, it’s not bad for a smart person like you to be silly occasionally!”
Shiyu Lianyi silently watched the girl beside him.
She stood within arm’s reach, yet seed so distant.
As if a slight mistake would cause her to leave his world.
“I…
haven’t really thought about these things.”
He tried to respond in his usual tone, making his dry words seem like an uninterested reply.
“Being so stiff is going to make you age before your ti, be careful.” Kardesia swayed her bag, “Anyway, we’re in the central district already; I might as well go get a beauty treatnt before heading back, bye~”
“Mm, goodbye.”
He replied unconsciously.
His thoughts were in disarray, like a tangled ss.
He stood there, staring dumbly as the girl’s figure slowly disappeared into the neon lights of the urban night.
When he ca back to his senses, Shiyu Lianyi had already called out.
“Kardesia!”
The blonde girl turned her head back.
“What’s up?”
What should he say now?
He hadn’t prepared anything, but he realized he needed to do sothing.
Otherwise, the restlessness in his heart wouldn’t settle.
Otherwise, he would spend the night tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
“This weekend, do you have ti?
I want to go…
buy so stuff.”
It was too rushed.
He couldn’t even think of a proper excuse.
“You know, I’m not very good at these things…”
He could only muster such crude words, secretly hoping to muddle through.
Kardesia laughed in surprise.
“How rare, and it’s so unlike Lianyi to want to go shopping!
Sure, I’m free this weekend.
Just let know the ti and place~”
“Okay, goodbye.”
He smiled softly, watching the girl walk away.
Then, Shiyu Lianyi silently repeated a na in his heart and used his superpower to establish a link.
The psychic communication took more ti than he’d anticipated; it seed the subject had left their residence in Thorn District.
Eventually, the connection in his mind was established.
(Gongsun, it’s about love, can you help this weekend?)
The astonishnt of the grey-haired young man ca from within.
(My heavens, have you finally co to your senses?
I’m out at the mont, we’ll talk in detail later, leave it to !)
