Chapter 114 – The Shadow Under the Ligh (1/2)

t

Who else could that black-haired youth be, other than Lin Xiao?

Thanks to Lin Xiao, Shen DaiYing gave up her search, the crisis was averted, and Elena could finally feel relieved for a moment.

But, even in her dreams she wouldn’t think of seeing Lin Xiao here! She was just thinking about that guy earlier, and now he was right in front of her.

What’s going on?

Why? Why was that damn pervert here? Shouldn’t he be sleeping at home?

Elena stared fixedly at Lin Xiao with complex feelings.

Could it be like last time, Lin Xiao secretly followed her this whole time because he was worried about her?

Impossible! Elena immediately denied her guess.

This time she had her magic detection radar going at full power, she was the only one doing the following, there was no way anyone could follow her. So, she was 100% sure that Lin Xiao didn’t appear here because he was following her.

Then why is here?

“Sis… sister Ying?” Lin Xiao stood at the entrance of the alleyway, stared at Shen DaiYing who was full of killing intent with an astonished face, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

“Lin Xiao?” Similarly, Shen DaiYing was also rather astonished.

The sudden unforeseen event made her very uncomfortable, Shen DaiYing was like a child who was doing something wrong that was caught red-handed. She didn’t bother finding her follower if there was one, although her expression was still spiritless, she looked left and right, and instinctively tidied her clothes and appearance, like she was trying to preserve her beauty in the other person’s eyes.

She soon realized that she was holding onto a sword, her scary appearance like she was about to kill someone was the strangest part, so she quickly sheathed it.

She sheathed her sword extremely quickly, her fingers gently grasping the hilt, the slender Snow made a beautiful arc in the sky before clinking into the sheath, the entire process flowed like water, one could tell with one look that it was practiced numerous times.

But perhaps it was because she was too nervous, she made a mistake at the end of the sheathing motion that has been repeated thousands of times. Her index finger of the right hand accidentally touched the blade and a small cut was sliced open, although the wound was light, but fresh blood still seeped out.

“Hey, a-are you okay?” Seeing her get injured, Lin Xiao quickly ran over and asked worryingly.

“I-I’m fine…” Shen DaiYing lowered her head, clenched her fist and pulled back the injured index finger, not wanting him to see it.

Although her expression was still spiritless, but after seeing Lin Xiao her tone had a slight change, it felt more human, and was no longer like an emotionless robot.

The woman in front of him was worlds apart from the charming and affectionate princess from school, as he got closer, Lin Xiao even thought that he got the wrong person.

Shen DaiYing’s usual half open affectionate eyes were actually wide open, her large eyes felt empty and lifeless, her pupils dilated, like her eyes couldn’t focus, it gave one the chills.

What’s wrong with her? Did she take the wrong medicine?

It was so much so that Lin Xiao even began to doubt whether she actually was Shen DaiYing or her twin sister, and they just looked very similar but was actually two separate people. If it was the same person, how could her disposition change so much?

“Um… Sister Ying, is it really you?” Like he wanted to confirm her identity, Lin Xiao asked once again.

“Un… it’s me.” Hearing that intimate moniker, Shen DaiYing was rather moved, her pupils abruptly retracted, and she stared at Lin Xiao in a daze, like she wanted to say something, but didn’t say it in the end. After that, her expression once again became dim and colorless.
