Ji Fanyin thought Li Mingyue was joking about assigning a bodyguard to her.
But when she saw Cheng Lin at the hospital, she realized she was being serious.
To make things worse, this bodyguard had a temper, and that scared her…
“...” Cheng Lin blinked. “Ji Fanyin.”
“Hello,” she mustered some courage to greet her. After a short pause, she pleaded, “Could you please… return my diary to me?” And braced herself for Cheng Lin’s anger.
However, the latter merely looked at her wordlessly. Then, with an elevated chin, she said, “I’ll return it to you next time.”
Ji Fanyin heaved a sigh of relief. It was as though she had escaped a disaster.
On second thought, Cheng Lin is not such a bad person.
After all, she had witnessed Cheng Lin bawling her eyes out for her previously.
Cheng Lin shifted her weight around nervously. After much deliberation, she said, “About last time…”
“I didn't see anything?” Ji Fanyin said with uncertainty.
Cheng Lin: “...” She sighed deeply and looked at Ji Fanyin as if she was looking at a young and naive girl. “Forget it, let’s go in. Ji Xinxin isn’t someone to be afraid of.”
“I’m not afraid of her.”
Ji Fanyin felt the need to clear the air. “I am only…”
“I don’t want to hear your explanation.” Cheng Lin was already walking into the building. “You can prove your words to me when you see her.”
They were approached by Li Mingyue’s assistant once they got out of the lift. From how she greeted Cheng Lin first, it was obvious they were acquaintances.
With a smile, the assistant addressed Ji Fanyin, “Ms. Ji Fanyin, please follow me.”
“You are free to leave anytime you feel uncomfortable,” the assistant warned when they were at the entrance of the ward.
Ji Fanyin took a deep breath. “Ok.”
Cheng Lin looked at her. “Are you ready?”
“Mm.”
Cheng Lin opened the door.
The first person Ji Xinxin saw was Cheng Lin. However, her attention was quickly drawn to Ji Fanyin who soon emerged from behind.
She immediately straightened herself in bed, while still staring at the latter with bloodshot eyes.
Ji Fanyin met Ji Xinxin’s gaze. This was the first time she had felt such unfamiliarity upon laying eyes on this face that was identical to hers.
Is it because she had revealed her true colors?
Or is it because of something else?
“... Are you here to trick me again, Ji Fanyin?”
Ji Xinxin croaked, “Did you think I would believe your lies if you appeared as my sister?”
Am I actually the one who has changed?
She had been looking at things from the other Ji Fanyin’s perspective for so long and was used to her line of thinking. Now that she had regained control of her body, she could not help thinking…
What would the other Ji Fanyin do in this scenario?
Laugh…?
“What are you laughing at?!” Ji Xinxin shouted.
Ji Fanyin touched the corner of her lips. It did seem like the area was slightly upturned.
She quickly recomposed herself. “I was just thinking about what the other Ji Fanyin would do in this situation. I am not here to make fun of you.”
