Chapter 272 - Who Are You? (1/2)

The coldness in his voice was not foreign to her. He used to talk like this before. At that time however, she did not give a damn about it but right now…it felt terrible.

A wry smile made its way on her face as she lowered her head, ''Looks like I've already frustrated you. I…won't bother you more then,” She nodded, her eyes teared up. These fucking tears. Why do they come uninvited and make her appear like a miserable person that she is not? She sniffed, ”I will leave….if that is what you want.''

”No explanations anymore?” His tone was still as cold as his rough fingers grazed past her tears that rolled down her cheeks.

”You don't want them…'' She sobbed, grabbing the collar of his shirt with one of her hands.

''I am afraid it will be another lie on your part,” His tone softened when she looked at him with those teary eyes.

”I-I won't-''

”You won't?” His gaze flashed as he stepped back from her, ”What makes you think I will believe it? Do you take me as a fool?”

Her fingers curled into a fist as she lowered her head.

”Everytime you lied to me, I knew it,'' He pinched her chin before tilting her face upwards, ''You were disgusted just at the sight of blueberry ice-cream even though you ate it to prove him wrong. Did you think I won't notice it? Or did you think I will miss the way you looked at each other like you know each other since decades? Have I ever asked you about it, huh?”

”I…''

”I never did. I wanted to give you the space that you want. You could have kept your secrets well but was there any reason for you to lie to me over and over again?'' His gaze deepened, ''You don't trust me at all, do you?” Letting go of her chin, he stepped back from her.

''Listen to me-''

”Leave before I do something that I'll regret later,” He closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath, raking his fingers through his hair.

”I-''

''Leave.''

She pursed her lips, ”Jun Zixuan, don't you dare to turn your back on me…” Her voice turned cold when he turned around. Her eyes teared up, ”Even my brother has never treated me like this. You truly are something,” She grabbed his sleeves.

He was stunned at her outburst. He turned around to look at her, ”Brother?” Why would she drag Yu Jinhai in all this?

”I'm not who you see me as…'' She shook her head.

”What do you mean?” His eyes narrowed.

''Would you believe me if I say that I am not the real Yu Mei Zhen? I am not the original owner of this body. I am just another soul-''

”What the heck are you talking about?” He stepped back from her with disbelief written all over his face.

''Indeed,'' She closed her eyes, realizing that she should have done this much earlier without thinking of the consequences. Had she not been a coward all this time, she could have explained it to him in a better way rather than doing it in this do or die situation.
