Chapter 366 - Xia Yixuan, Alive (1/2)
She pursed her lips as drops of tears fell onto her hands, which made her shrink further into her body in pain. Very soon, the sound of the children's intermittent singing started. Despite going out of tune at times, their childish voices made the adults' hearts soften. To the adults, it sounded extremely pleasant to the ears.
Rainy placed her hands on her lap, occasionally wiping her tears away with her sleeves.
…
Xia Ruoxin looked at the sky, which was overcast and heavy. It looked like it was about to rain soon. She held an umbrella in her hand, ready to deliver it to Gao Yi. She quickened her pace. It would be harder to walk if it started to rain while she was on her way.
”Xia Ruoxin?” Someone called out her name uncertainly. She stopped abruptly in her steps. This voice was…
”Xia Ruoxin, you're Xia Ruoxin? Is that really you?” The person sounded surprised and a little shocked. ”Sister!”
'Sister'. That word made Xia Ruoxin think that it came from hell.
She turned around and looked at the woman in front of her. She took a few steps back, startled. Xia Yixuan? The Xia Yixuan who had died four years ago?
She had never felt like she had done anything against her conscience and didn't believe in ghosts, but the sudden appearance of a person who was supposed to be dead for four years was too disorienting.
”Sister, don't you recognize me? I'm Yixuan!” Xia Yixuan was happy to see Xia Ruoxin. They hadn't met for four years, after all. It must be such a shock to everyone to see her again like this. Even her father was shell-shocked when she appeared.
”Don't be scared, Sister. I didn't die. It's the truth.” She explained immediately, thinking that Xia Ruoxin was afraid of her. She was alone at home now and was feeling bored. She quite missed the foolish sister who would accompany her for everything in the old days, where Xia Yixuan got everything good while Xia Ruoxin could only settle for the worse things. With a sister like that, Xia Yixuan was extremely contented.
”You're not dead?” Xia Ruoxin asked Xia Yixuan incredulously. No other encounters in this world would drive people as crazy and speechless as this one. A person who had been dead for nearly four years appearing in front of someone suddenly and saying they didn't die. So who died?
”Yes. I didn't die. The car got into an accident, but I'm fine.” Xia Yixuan admitted plainly. She already had her identity restored anyway, and her father would handle the rest.
For example, she was actually saved by someone; but she was in a coma for four years before waking up. Or she was indeed in an accident, and she survived… but lost her memories and only remembered who she was recently. There were countless possible reasons that her dad could choose from.
”Then, why didn't you tell me that you weren't dead? Why did you disappear for four years?” Xia Ruoxin clenched her fists tightly. Little did she know—if she had appeared sooner, she might not have to go through so much torture and pain.
