GDK 612: Are you Bryan?

Lisa was absolutely astonished. But when Han Shuo turned around to look at her, Lisa’s expression quickly turned to pure bewilderment. Her slender eyebrows creased slightly as she examined Han Shuo.

Lisa has grown up, was the first impression that crossed Han Shuo mind when he turned around and saw her.

That crafty and unruly girl back then had now grown into a slender, graceful, and elegant lady. The tragic disaster that struck her family had made her much more mature and taught her to be strong and diligent.

When he looked at Lisa who was standing right before him, his mind automatically wandered into the past. He recalled of his failed attempt at scaring Lisa by pretending to be a corpse soon after he arrived in this world. He also thought of the incident where Lisa conducted that necromancy experiment on him. Unwittingly, the corners of his lip curled up slightly.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed from Lisa’s eyes that traced Han Shuo up and down. She asked, with a tremor in her lips, “Are you Bryan?”

“I’m not!” Han Shuo replied without thinking.

The happiness radiating from her eyes was quickly replaced by sadness. She did nothing but stare blankly at Han Shuo. Tears had filled the rims of her eyes to their very brim.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Han Shuo gently sighed, forced a smile, and said, “How did you recognize me?”

As soon as Han Shuo said those words, the teardrops collecting in Lisa’s eyes finally rolled down her smooth cheeks. At that very moment, the strong and stalwart Lisa turned weak and fragile. She cried out like a child as she dashed ahead and fell into Han Shuo’s chest in a split second. She then tightly embraced Han Shuo with all her strength, as though fearing that Han Shuo would disappear at any moment.

“You are back… You are finally back… Do you know how worried I was? Do you know how much pain my heart felt when I heard that you were killed by the Church of Light?” Lisa was sobbing as she wrapped Han Shuo in her arms, helpless and miserable.

Han Shuo felt her body trembling as he listened to her tearful complaints. His heart gradually softened like butter. From her words, Han Shuo could tell just how deep her affection for him was. It was him or no one else – that was how staunch and unswerving her feelings were.

“Is it worth the pain?” Han Shuo softly sighed and his heart ached. He truly had no idea why had Lisa been so persistent. For all this time, Han Shuo thought that the feelings Lisa had for him was merely infatuation out of immaturity and he would gradually be forgotten with the passing of time. He truly had not anticipated that her love for him would be so deep.

“It is only when I’m with you that I can truly feel happy. Other than you, no one can give me that kind of sensation. Bryan, I beg you, please, can you not be so heartless to me?” the teary Lisa helplessly pleaded as she grabbed firmly onto Han Shuo’s shirt.

Han Shuo let out yet another sigh. His heart melted, completely forgetting what he pledged to his three ladies. As he looked at the tearful Lisa, he nodded subconsciously.

A wildness suddenly blossomed from Lisa’s cheeks that were stained with tears. She hugged Han Shuo firmly. She embraced him tighter and tighter as though wanting to fuse herself into Han Shuo’s body.

Han Shuo appeared to understand now. He leaned in and placed his mouth next to Lisa’s ear and softly said, “Alright, alright. Don’t cry. Others might think that I’m bullying you if they see this.”

“You are bullying me! And you have bullied me for many years…” This time, Lisa couldn’t seem to stop venting her feeling. She sobbed and tearfully complained with her head tucked in Han Shuo’s chest. It was as though she wanted to vent all the bitterness and grudges that had stifled her heart for many years all at once.

Han Shuo forced a smile and no longer told her to stop crying. Han Shuo knew that these words must have restrained her heart for more than a few years. A chance like this was difficult to come by and there was no way she would give up on this opportunity.

Han Shuo was aware that if she didn’t get her point across and instead bottled them inside her heart, it would affect both her body and her cultivation. It was only by unburdening herself of those words that she could completely walk out from the torment and come to possess a healthy and stable mind again.

For this reason, Han Shuo did not persuade her to stop but patiently listened to her bitter quibbles while gently stroking her shoulder. He did not interrupt her for even a second and quietly sensed Lisa’s feelings for him that were as deep as the sea.

After a long, long while, Lisa’s weeping protests slowly came to an end. And when her lovable body was no longer trembling, Han Shuo asked, baffled, “How did you identify me so easily?”

Lisa shot a resentful glare at Han Shuo, wrinkled her nose, and said “When you were looking at your statue, you did not conceal the air that drifted from your body. I know you too well. Your figure from behind, your demeanor, and the trace of vileness in your eyes –your makeup may fool others, but it can’t fool me!” Lisa said with full confidence.

Han Shuo’s heart was even more deeply moved. Even after so many years, Lisa could still recognize him from behind at first glance. This had sufficiently indicated just how deep her feelings for him ran.
