698 Fragments... (1/2)

She found herself surrounded by mirrors. This room only had mirrors apart from her. And every single mirror reflected her current state. She didn't wear that gown that she downed for the wedding. She was wearing the same maroon silk gown that she wore when she said goodbye to the world as Chen Xiu.

Xiu's whole body shook when she saw this. She lifted her hand and touched her face as she stared back at herself through the mirror. The face reflected in the mirror was definitely Bai Xiu's but the things on her body were Chen Xiu's.

For instance, those signature earrings that she used to wear in her childhood that had 'Xiu' carved on it beautifully. Also, the maroon silk gown that she loved. And even the charm bracelet on her wrist.

She didn't know for how long she stared at her own reflection but she knew that the longer she looked, the calmer she got. It was strange but she never thought one day she wouldn't find looking in the mirror strange like she first did. Even the things on her body didn't seem odd at all. It felt like a part of her now.

If one combined Destiny and Chen Xiu, wouldn't this be the picture? One's soul and one's skin?

'Shhh!'

Xiu's brows moved when she felt like she heard something. She turned her head and looked around. But except for her own reflections all around, she saw nothing else. Was she hallucinating?

'Shh!'

Xiu looked again. This time she even tried to knock on each mirror as if trying to see if there was a door. Or maybe it was a two-way mirror and someone was able to see her from the other side.

”Who is it?” she questioned when she couldn't find an escape. She was calmer than any normal person who would find himself in a situation with no way out. In fact, Xiu was really very calm in her heart. The reason was simple, she had realized it wasn't real.

There was no way she was willing to believe that someone kidnapped her in the presence of her Regan. Her heart would never allow her to doubt him.

With her clear mind, she even knew that she was supposed to open her eyes in a hospital room. She was very clear about her circumstances. But if she didn't, that means she hadn't woken up yet. That's the only explanation she was willing to believe right now.

'Don't you already know me?'

Xiu's eyed moved, trying to find out where that voice came from. She still didn't find any abnormality. But the voice sounded familiar. As if she heard it every single day. How strange! ”What are you? God? Deity or Demon? Angel or a Devil? Or maybe Grim Reaper?”

'None of the above.'

Xiu rolled her eyes in a languid manner, ”Then what technology is making you invisible?”

'I'm not invisible though. You can already see me.'

Xiu frowned and moved in a circle, ”I can't.”

'That means you're looking at the wrong place for me.'
