Xiao Zhi Ren's movements once again halted as Ru addressed herself as 'This young master'. It just didn't sit well with him.
"You know you can talk comfortably with me." Ru gave him a confused look. "No need to keep up the pretense of being a young master before me."
Ru gaped at him in disbelief before saying, "You are overthinking, Zhi. I have always been a young master. It's not a pretense. It's who I am. After calling myself a young master for twenty-eight years of my life, it has become a part of me rather than just being a disguise."
Xiao Zhi Ren stared at her wide-eyed. His mind was in shambles. He only thought that she was keeping this disguise to search for her enemies but how wrong he had been! If she had lived with this persona for all those years, it meant she never got a chance to experience being a girl.
Then what about her real identity? Her real self?
