"Commandery Princess, do you rember what you promised ?"
"What?" Jin Luoyin, anxious about her brother, couldn’t recall what she had promised him.
Zhu Shiqing smiled and said, "You said... if I help you find your brother, you will..."
Jin Luoyin knew what he was going to say and hurriedly stepped forward to cover Zhu Shiqing’s mouth, saying, "Then didn’t you also say you would bring the Youying Pearl or Zhuzhao Pearl?"
"Which is more important, these pearls, or your brother?"
Jin Luoyin: "..."
As she was unsure how to answer, Zhu Shiqing laughed and stepped aside.
"Alright, don’t be troubled, I was just joking. Co, let’s see what he’s doing inside."
They saw a figure stand up inside the window, moving towards an unknown direction.
Jin Luoyin’s face grew stern. She skipped knocking on the door and directly kicked the woven bamboo door with force.
The door, ant to keep out gentlen rather than villains, was easily kicked open by her.
At this mont, Jin Xuyao was holding a water jug full of water.
The door fell with a crash, and as he turned and saw Jin Luoyin’s shocked face, the jug fell from his hand with a bang.
"I... how did you get in? You’re not allowed in here!"
Jin Xuyao hurriedly raised a hand to cover his face.
No, he couldn’t let them see.
Jin Luoyin sniffled and, taking a few steps forward to grab his arm, began to shout with a tearful and hysterical voice: "What are you afraid of? We’ve waited for you for fifteen years. How much longer do you want us to wait?"
Both Jin Xuyao and Zhu Shiqing were stunned, seeing for the first ti the gentle Commandery Princess speaking so hysterically.
"What are you afraid of? Speak up!"
Jin Xuyao opened his mouth. Despite having countless explanations, her questioning left him speechless.
Jin Luoyin cried and shouted, "Every ti Mother asks about you, I tell her to wait a few more days. After all, we’ve already waited fifteen years; a few more days won’t matter. For you, accepting such a change in identity is difficult, and you need ti to adjust.
But you are still young; you have plenty of ti to adapt and accept. Waiting a few more days is no big deal. But what about Father and Mother? They have spent their best years searching for you. Every day they miss spending with you is a day lost. How long will you keep them waiting? Tell , I’ll let them continue to wait. But please, not indefinitely, alright?"
Jin Xuyao was shocked. It seed he had never considered these questions before.
Jin Luoyin gently pulled his arm down, pleading, "Let see!"
But that arm seed to be fixed in place and wouldn’t co down no matter what.
"Let it down!" Jin Luoyin said softly.
Putting down his arm, revealing his face to them, represented more than just his face.
It represented saying goodbye to the past and accepting a new self.
Jin Luoyin was in no hurry, gently pulling a little at a ti, softly pleading with him.
"You have to face it eventually; you can’t live like this forever. Father and Mother are always waiting for you."
Jin Xuyao opened his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse: "But what if... I’m not?"
Jin Luoyin paused, her expression changing.
What if he’s not?
It seed they had never considered that because everyone had already assud that he was.
"What if I’m not? He’s so good to ; what if I’m truly Jin Tianyuan’s descendant?" he continued.
