Xia Luna looked disappointed. "You still don’t believe ?" She reached behind her head and squeezed her eyes shut as she pulled out two strands of her long, wavy hair. She held out her hand to give them to Li Lanni. "I didn’t bring a DNA test report because you would think it is fake. So how about you do the test yourself?"
Li Lanni looked at the long strands of hair but didn’t reach out to take them. She needed so ti to process all this.
...
When she was done, she shot a look at the girl before her. "If I were to believe that we are really twins, how do you explain the fact that I don’t know about you? Why did you only appear now?"
Xia Luna pursed her lips, went back to the bench she was sitting on earlier, and patted the space beside her. "Co, sit here. I’ll tell you."
Even though she Li Lanni was a complete ss inside, she pretended to be calm. She simply walked over and sat.
Seeing that Li Lanni was cool enough, Xia Luna started explaining, "I wasn’t planning to et you until you recovered your mory, but I heard that the people who know started bothering you, so I ca."
CEO Jiang? This was the only person Li Lanni could think of.
That man had started acting weird the mont they first saw and talked about things she couldn’t understand. He made it sound like they were in a relationship of sorts.
Now it made sense. No wonder CEO Jiang had called her Xia. He must have mistaken her for this girl.
"But how co he doesn’t know that you have a twin?" Li Lanni asked.
"That’s a long story. But in summary, very few people from this city know that I exist."
A short spell of silence later, Xia Luna hesitatingly grabbed her hands. "Lanni, I’m sorry. I have caused you trouble."
Li Lanni was still not in the mood for apologies and all that. "May I know why you have been stalking ?"
Xia Luna looked aside in sha. "I didn’t want to do that either. But you had just woken up from a coma and didn’t have an inkling of the past, yet you were close to soone who could hurt you. If I simply waltzed into your room and said that I’m your sister and your friend is a bad person, would you believe ? Your state of mind was also not stable enough at that ti because of amnesia and so level of trauma."
Li Lanni had to admit that she wouldn’t have believed her. Especially since this sister had popped out of nowhere. Even if she were to believe her, it would have taken a lot of ti.
"It would make you more alert if so unknown person said it creepily. As for why I continued sending you ssages after that, I didn’t want you to forget about . But I didn’t want you to know who I was either, so I would delete them each ti. I sound so silly, right. But what can I do? You are my only sister, and I didn’t want you to forget ."
Li Lanni looked at the girl, obviously believing only half of her ridiculous words. But it wouldn’t help even if she doubted her, so she brushed it off. "Don’t you ever do that again."
Li Lanni had many questions to ask, but she didn’t know what to say. It was as though her tongue was stuck; even her brain seed to have temporarily stopped.
Soone had been stalking her for the last many weeks, and she had spent days wondering who it was, then that person turned out to be not a man but a girl, and that girl was even her twin?
Who could accept such a weird twist?
...
Minutes passed.
Li Lanni’s brain finally resud its functionality. Then she thought of all the things Xia Luna had said.
"You said that you were only planning to et when I recovered my mory? You did want to et then? Why?"
Xia Luna thought about it before saying, "I’m afraid your brain will not be able to take in too much information. I’ll explain it all later."
"You’re still planning to keep in contact with ?"
Xia Luna didn’t answer but asked another question instead. "Any problem with that?"
"Of course, there’s a problem!" I don’t trust you!
What if she was an impostor?
Xia Luna smiled gently, masking the fact that Li Lanni’s distrust hurt her. "You can ask Xiao Yu about ."
Li Lanni was shocked yet again. "You know Cheng Yu?"
"Of course I do. She is our best friend." As though knowing what Li Lanni was going to ask next, Xia Luna continued, "It was my idea to not tell you about ."
Li Lanni wanted to ask more, but she had to go back ho. She had already told her mother that she would be back within two hours, and it was almost over.
Besides, who would spend ti with soone they only just t?
She had to make sure this girl was telling the truth before asking any of the millions of questions in her mind.
...
That evening, Li Lanni took a few bites of her dinner absentmindedly.
"What’s wrong? The food is not to your liking?" Li Yuming asked with concern. She looked like if Lanni said that food wasn’t to her taste, she would dash into the kitchen and prepare whatever it was that her daughter wanted to eat.
Li Lanni was pulled out of the daze by her mother’s words. However, Li Lanni didn’t answer this question. She spoke of another thing instead. "Mom, I t a girl today."
"Mmh?" Li Yuming probed. What about it?
Li Lanni thought about it. She still didn’t believe Xia Luna’s words because her mother had never spoken about her.
If she had to choose to trust one person between the mother who so evidently loved her and a ’twin’ who popped out of thin air, it was obvious who she would choose.
So she carefully said, "Her na is Xia Luna, and..."
