Chapter 622 - Encounter
The girl looked like she was around 13 years old, all grown up but her temperament from her youth remained the same.
With a hint of fear in her eyes, she glanced at Baili Jia Jue and admitted softly, “I didn’t mean it…”
“Wait a minute,” Nangong Lie placed his hand on his forehead and pointed at the girl, “You’re Helian Wei Wei?”
The girl nodded while biting her thin lips. She knew that this Genius Worshipper never liked her, but she never thought that he would question who she was. Did His Highness not even mention her to him?
Nangong Lie cursed under his breath, “This is like seeing a ghost!”
“Young Master Lie.” Shadow knew that his master had always treated Helian Wei Wei differently, but he had to remind him, “His Highness is still here…”
“So what? I just wanted to ask, if she is Helian Wei Wei, then…” Nangong Lie turned around and pointed, “Then who is this woman!?”
Helian Wei Wei who was acknowledged went stiff.
Then, a familiar and apathetic voice was heard, “I would also like to know the answer to that question.”
Baili Jia Jue strode slowly toward Helian Wei Wei.
The girl had no idea what was happening, her eyebrows were furrowed tightly.
“Do you plan to just keep your head down?” As Baili Jia Jue looked at the head of hair in front of him, he held the memorial so tightly that the knuckles of his left hand turned white.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped and his eyes frosted like winter ice, whereas a flash of unknown flame surrounded him, intimidating those who looked at him.
Helian Wei Wei knew that she could hide no more, and she could no longer cover up anything. She straightened her back, lifted her face and cast a lazy smile at him, “It’s me, I’m back.”
Only then could Helian Wei Wei finally take a clear look at the young man.
Compared to his older self, he looked much more noble and cleaner, perfect in every way. His beauty was as sharp as a diamond’s reflection, and there was an air of coolness around him.
She was not sure if she was seeing things, but Helian Wei Wei felt like she saw a shudder in his beautiful eyes.
But the reality proved that she was simply overthinking things.
His expression toward her was so cool and indifferent, as though he had never seen her before. But from his voice, she could sense his familiar teasing, “Oh, it’s you.”
The situation was much better than what Helian Wei Wei had imagined. She thought that he would not even recognize her. But now, at the very least, she could confirm that he remembered the past.
But in this situation, Helian Wei Wei felt a large lump in her throat. He remembered everything, yet he still treated her like a stranger…
“Ah Jue, you know her?” The longer Nangong Lie looked at the situation, the weirder he felt, “Who is this woman? Why does she look exactly the same as Helian Wei Wei?”
Baili Jia Jue did not answer his question and simply said, “Wei Wei, come here.”
Helian Wei Wei was in a daze, she thought he was calling herself for a moment.
But as the young girl walked toward him obediently and looked up at the young man.
Helian Wei Wei’s leg that had taken a step forward felt stiff.
“Don’t go around disappearing next time, okay?” The young man’s voice was already sweet but accompanied by his tenderness, even the air was made sweet.
The girl nodded her head obediently and stared wide-eyes at Helian Wei Wei. She was adorable in a vaguely indescribable way. She seemed alarmed at how another woman could be identical to herself!
Helian Wei Wei felt herself falling into an ice house.
Fortunately, before entering the place, Nangong Lie’s words had already prepared her emotionally, so that she would not be put on a rough spot.
She had already expected this situation, which was why she could remain extra calm.
Even Helian Wei Wei was impressed with herself that she did not simply turn around and walked away.
Her hands and feet felt numb, but as soon as her blood started flowing again, she smirked at the two before her.
She had always known how much he would care for other people.
And she also knew that not many girls could reject him.
“Yes.” The shyness and obedience on the girl’s face were all noticed by Helian Wei Wei.
She thought that if a shattering heart could make a sound, she just wanted to shut her ears off, not wanting to hear or see.
But in reality, she could not back down. The more difficult the situation was, the more resolute she had to be.
“Honestly speaking, this replacement that you found is nothing like me, other than our looks. What do you think?” Helian Wei Wei smiled and looked at the young man at a near distance.
Baili Jia Jue sneered as though he had just heard a joke, “You… umph.”
Helian Wei Wei had always done things out of the ordinary. Whatever words that came out of his mouth would hurt her anyway, so she might as well not listen and rushed up to kiss him!
Nangong Lie witnessed the scene and inhaled stiffly.
Baili Jia Jue was dazzled for a few seconds, then he flung her aside. He wiped his lips with the back of his hand and stared at her coldly, “Could you have taken yourself too seriously?”
Helian Wei Wei’s left hand was touching the cold floor to support herself, she could only feel pain and cold.
Perhaps, she might really have taken herself too seriously…
Still on the floor, Helian Wei Wei massaged her temples and chuckled, “It was just a kiss, why such a big reaction?”
Upon hearing her indifference, the young man’s eyes grew colder and his fingers tightened, “Only an easy woman like you would take a kiss as a greeting.”
Helian Wei Wei stiffened. An easy woman?
Nangong Lie continued to spectate with interest. He looked at Helian Wei Wei’s eyes with curiosity and admiration.
Many people admired Ah Jue, but she might be the only one in this world who would rush up and kiss him like that.
The others might not know Ah Jue’s character, but he was too familiar.
If he really hated it, she would have it worse than being simply shrugged aside.
In his opinion, Ah Jue had not expected to lose his first kiss like that, so he was just being frustrated…
Anyway, the air between those two was a little off.
Besides, from Little Shadow’s expression, there seemed to be something else?
Nangong Lie rubbed his chin and fell into deep contemplation.
The girl dropped her jaw, obviously shocked by Helian Wei Wei’s actions, “Your-Your Highness, she…”
Baili Jia Jue did not look at the girl, but lowered himself and stared coldly at Helian Wei Wei. He then said with an icy and low voice, “Just an insignificant nobody.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and gave Shadow an order, “Next time, don’t simply let just anyone in.”
Staring at Helian Wei Wei’s face without moving away even for a moment, Shadow replied almost reluctantly, “Yes.”
After all, no one was aware that he was the only one who knew what truly happened back then…
