Chapter 403 - Too Many Questions Left Unanswered (1/2)

Jing Yi's eyelids fluttered and he blinked against the rays of light coming through the window. He felt a little light-headed but still sat up in bed and looked at the window.

His mind still echoed with the song he had just sung. He got up and walked over, humming it again. He opened the window and looked out at the garden outside. He half expected to spot that familiar figure there but nobody could be seen. There were only a lake and the corridor leading over it with its red lacquered beams. It made for a tranquil image but Jing Yi couldn't help but feel lost.

In the end, where was Tian?

Had they really been separated by ten-thousand li? Had there indeed been something keeping them from each other? Rendering Tian unable to come back to him?

He grabbed onto the window frame and looked out at the lake. Not knowing what had happened to his lover felt terrible. Just imagining the countless possibilities of what could have happened to him made him worry.

”Just what happened? Where did you go?”

He had to find out. He had to figure out what had happened to them afterward. He had to find Tian again. There was no other way. But how should he do it? Where should he even start looking?

”Tian … Is there no clue at all how to find you?”

The image of the garden where they had spent so much time flashed in his mind. Right, if he went there, then he might also find Tian. Just thinking about it his heart fluttered.

What would his lover say when they finally saw each other again? He would probably be happy. Maybe he would take him into his arms and stroke his back like he had done that night.

Jing Yi sighed. Even imagining it was enough to calm his heart. Yes, he would find him again and everything would return to how it had been before. Then they could finally marry.

The door opened behind him and Jing Yi turned around, slightly puzzled. The man in the white robe that entered didn't help with clearing his confusion.

Leng Jin Yu's brows lifted when he saw Jing Yi standing at the window and noticed the change in his expression. Well, it was a good thing he had woken up though. ”Junior Martial Brother Zhong, you're awake. How do you feel?”

Jing Yi blinked and shook his head to clear his thoughts. Right. That was Yu Jin. He had helped him enter his inner self to gather his memories. ”Senior Martial Brother Yu, it's alright. I just … It's a little confusing. I just woke up and I guess I'm still not completely back yet.”
