Chapter 207 - Surreal Encounters (1/2)

Lei Xing massaged her forehead and let out a sigh.

{...Well, this is disappointing...I thought I was finally done with this stu-...}

{...*Brilliant, you mean -_-)'...But I'll let it pass today, you did very, very good~...}

Lei Xing rolled her eyes and then looked at Ah Jin and said, ”Stand up.”

Ah Jin stood up and quietly waited for a while until finally, Lei Xing let out another breath and asked, ”Why didn't you mention that I had a bracelet just like this before? One which I apparently treasured...”

Ah Jin knit her eyebrows and lowered her head, ”I-I was initially surprised when I saw you wearing it...We thought you lost it, but then you said it was Tung Mei's so...I just thought it was a coincidence they appeared the same.”

Lei Xing knit her brows.

{...Sounds reasonable, I guess -_-)...}

{...*Very reasonable! I like her ^_^)...}

{...Of course, you do (◔_◔)...}

”Did your mist- Did I ever tell you anything particular about the bracelet I had?” Lei Xing asked.

Lei Xing knew her original body's owner and Ah Jin had been close. Ah Jin found her when she ran away and Ah Jin and the girl even pulled a long-running artist scam, deceiving the entire family and world. If anyone would have known anything then, it would be Ah Jin.

Ah Jin frowned and then blinked a few times. She glanced up at Lei Xing and then looked back down.

”Say it.” Lei Xing ordered.

{...The problem here is she never seems to want to talk...Or is there really nothing to it and I'm just a paranoid crazy person...Possibly...}

{...*I say paranoid and nosey, can't you let people have their own secrets? Hmph! Nosey paranoid ( ￣^￣ ) ...}

{...Like you're one to talk, do you even let me have my own peace of mind, much less have secrets? Annoying -_-)'...}

”Well...you did mention this thing...” Ah Jin paused and pursed her lips, seemingly having difficulty spitting out the words, but Lei Xing was not in a patient mood and sternly ordered, ”Talk.”

”Well, you once said...It was like a...a...aaah friend of sorts...?” Ah Jin glanced up Lei Xing again and then carefully added, ”You seemed to...talk to it...sometimes...You never took it off...excoet when you got angry with it I suppose...” Ah Jin hesitantly informed and then added, ”It was strange...”

Lei Xing blinked and went, ”I see...”

{...Was it you then? Sounds just like you. You're plenty aggravating -_-)...}

{...*...}

{...Answer me -_-)...}

{...*My life is none of your business ( ￣^￣ )...}

{...And I'm pretty sure mine is also none of your business but yet, here we are, my very own peanut gallery -_-)...}

{...*You're very welcome ^_^)...}

Lei Xing rolled her eyes and then asked, ”Do you know how I got this- that bracelet?” She was getting the feeling that it was the same bracelet that had returned to haunt her. But of course, she could not be sure since the bracelet never answers anything she wants.

Ah Jin shook her head, ”You already had it when I came to the manor.”

{...*All this irrelevant! We should be celebrating. Don't you have great news for me? I think you do, I'm listening, go on hehe~...}

{...Like you need to be informed -_-)...}

{...*But I want MY official notification! Go on, tell me >◡

Lei Xing rolled her eyes and then narrowed her eyes at Ah Jin and then an idea came to mind, and she held out her wrist to Ah Jin and said, ”Take it off.”

Ah Jin blinked at Lei Xing's outstretched wrist and then looked up at her, seemingly confused. But Lei Xing simply motioned for her to the bracelet on her wrist.

Ah Jin silently let out a breath and then reached for the bracelet. She then frowned when the bracelet did not budge and then she tried with both hands. Her eyes went wide when it still did not move and she looked up at Lei Xing and she went, ”How -?”

{...*I did tell you that no one could take it off unless I want them to. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you never listen...}

Lei Xing frowned and withdrew her wrist and covered the bracelet up with her sleeve. Then she sighed and ran a hand through her hair as she said, ”You've kept secrets before, no one is to know about this.” And with that Lei Xing left the pavilion. As she took the slow steps back to her room, she let out another sigh.

{...Frustrating, here I thought I was finally free...}

{...*Hehe Don't worry, you'll probably be free soon~ Shouldn't be too long now ^_^)...}
