"You don't have to do this," Chen Anyue's voice was thick with concern. Dawn was seeping into her room, where they sat at a table to share a simple breakfast. Steamed buns and a boiled egg with squash. Ever since the terrible encounter with the angry auntie, his Shijie preferred eating in her room, away from the chaos and shouting, unlike the other Chen Anyue.
It was a pity. And while Yuan Xuelan knew this wasn't his Shijie, not really, he still felt for her… perhaps even more so than this version of his own lover.
It was likely because this Anyue was the same as the one he left back home, at least before she got possessed and turned distant and evil.
He smiled at her, enjoying the quaint conversation they were able to have together. Don't worry so much, Shijie,' he said. "What's the worst that could happen?"
She sighed deeply, shoulders sagging in both concern and defeat, "You could get hurt."
