Chapter 171 - She Couldn’t Remember (1/2)

The person who caught her was able to see a little even in the darkness. He did a double take, though.

”Hong Bao?!” He sat her down on the ground and looked her over once again. Indeed, it was really her.

Hong Bao who was completely blind in the night started fumbling around. Her hands found the man's chest and patted up and down, somehow landing at his face after a while. She tried finding out who the person before her was but only came up with a blank.

What to do in such a case when the other one knew you but you didn't know who it was? Of course, you needed to feign recognition!

”Oh, it's you!” She smiled sweetly and somehow managed to find that person's sleeve. She grabbed onto it, not intending to let go anytime soon.

The man was a little taken aback. They didn't know each other that well. Why was she so happy to see him? It couldn't be … Had she actually fallen in love with him even though their time together had been that short? He shook his head. This wasn't the time to get all sentimental!

”Hong Bao, what are you doing here? It's late at night. You shouldn't be running around here. Especially not alone!”

Hong Bao pursed her lips. It really was hard to pretend to recognize someone. How was she supposed to answer now? ”Uh … It couldn't be helped. I was waiting for someone.”

”Waiting? This late at night?” The man was taken aback. If it was any other woman, he might have thought this was the confession of a tryst but since it was Hong Bao … ”Why did you wait for that person?”

”To help my sister out! You see …” Hong Bao suddenly shut up. ”Oh, I can't tell you. I had to promise her not to tell anyone. Nobody. She stressed that!”

”Alright. You don't have to. Then, where is your sister now?”

”I guess she's with my brother-in-law.”

”Mn. And where is your brother-in-law?” The man demonstrated a commendable amount of patience.

Hong Bao lowered her head. ”I don't know. She didn't tell me. It's not her fault, though! I was supposed to go with the person I was waiting for but who knew that he would never show up? Now I'll have to go home alone.”

The man in front of her sighed. ”Where do you live? I'll bring you there.”

Hong Bao's face lit up. ”Really? It's …” She lifted her hand and wanted to point in a direction but in the end, she didn't know where to point. Where was she?

”Wait.” The man procured a talisman, imbued it with some energy and the paper lit up, showering their surroundings in a soft glow.

Hong Bao looked up and was instantly stunned. The man in front of her was really good-looking. He seemed mature and a little wild. In any case, really strong like nothing could happen to him!

Hong Bao was instantly fascinated. She gave him a once-over and still felt like this man was pretty good. It couldn't be … After sister finally found her true love, it's now my turn?! Her eyes started to sparkle at that thought and she grabbed his sleeve a little harder.

There was one problem with this man, though: She really didn't know him. She was quite sure of that because she certainly would have remembered such a face. Could it be that this guy was the one who was supposed to take her to heaven? She felt that it was entirely impossible! After all, he did look this good. Maybe all immortals and gods looked like this?
