Su Cha had a severe headache.
To be exact, every part of her body was in pain. She felt as though she was floating in a vast ocean, drifting along with the flow while feeling the rise and fall of the tide. She also felt a deep sense of helplessness and trepidation for not being able to get a hold of any driftwood.
She tried her best to open her eyes, and that feeling became increasingly obvious as if a blaze of fire was burning all parts of her body, not only causing her pain but also bringing about a strange feeling in her.
She was caught off guard by the sight of a pair of deep eyes that looked similar to a starry sky over the sea.
Reflected within that pair of eyes was a bright moon that was hanging high in the sky.
She could recognize those eyes very well. It was so familiar to the point that she managed to recall everything.
She was startled, so much so that she forgot how her body felt.
"Bo Muyi…?"
The man stood still.
He stopped moving, and soon after, his eyes darkened. He then used both his palms to cover Su Cha's eyes.
She heard his deep, magnetic voice, saying, "I'm not…"
But he definitely was that person.
Su Cha thought she had gone crazy. How was she able to meet someone she had witnessed dying right in front of her in her previous lifetime?
But soon, she could feel a weird sensation bothering her again. At this moment, she came to a realization of what both of them were doing.
Why was the scene of her re-encounter with Bo Muyi like this?
In a daze, Su Cha started to feel the burning sensation engulfing her once more…
When Su Cha awoke, she found that her surroundings were empty.
Before opening her eyes, she heaved a soft sigh. It has been a long time since I last dreamed. Never have I thought that I would dream of someone about whom I've been feeling guilty all this while.
She lifted her hands out of habit. "Help me up…"
Her voice came to a halt as she opened her eyes.
She was not sleeping on the usual exquisite huge wooden bed with floral carvings. Moreover, overhead, the decoration was not a layer of falling silk adorned with tassels. Instead, it was merely an ordinary white ceiling with a modern ceiling fan hanging from it.
She had not seen such a scene for decades.
Su Cha sat up hastily. Due to her abrupt movement, she felt as though a nerve in her brain was triggered, causing her to feel a sudden excruciating pain.
After the discomfort subsided, she observed her surroundings carefully. Her body quivered all of a sudden, causing her to pinch herself hard.
Pain…
Intensely painful!
This is not a dream!
This was not her luxurious palace, but solely a tiny house she used to live in.
The place she resided in in her previous lifetime.
As the memory was engraved in her mind, she could tell at a glance what these familiar yet strange home appliances were.
Why am I back again?
Su Cha was a little baffled. She wanted to get off the bed, so she removed the blanket. As she was about to move her legs, she felt some discomfort in them.
She lowered her head to have a look, realizing as she did that she was clad in her undergarments. However, the uneasy feeling was undeniable, which was weird…
She suddenly thought of her dream, the dream she had last night.
At that instant, Su Cha realized something. Her heart was pounding fast and vigorously as though it was about to jump from her chest to her throat.
This feeling was way too familiar.
Could it be that she had returned to her first lifetime?
"Click, clack…"
Out of the blue, the sound of a door unlocking came from outside. As the small house was not soundproof, she could hear almost everything clearly.
The fact that she had been practicing martial arts also meant she was equipped with strong senses.
This doesn't seem right!
Su Cha squinted. She knew better than anyone else that her physical attribute in her first life was not as good as the next had been. However, everything in front of her was too true to be merely a dream. Even before getting a clear picture of the situation, once she heard the sound, she tried to ignore her current body condition and left the bed. As fast as lightning, she put on a white cheongsam she found at the bedside, not knowing when it was placed there.
