Back then, she was the one who fought alongside her for so long.
Gu Tong pulled back from her memories, but her heart was in tumult, stirred up like stormy seas, unable to calm down! Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩•𝗳𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Thinking about it carefully, back then Xia Xi was unrecognizable due to her disfigurement, but her carefree personality, her rebellious temper, everything just matches too well!
Why hadn’t she thought of it before...
Due to the lurking crisis, Gu Tong hadn’t had the time to analyze it, and since Xia Xi’s appearance was as it originally was, Gu Tong had not made the connection!
However, right now, as she connects everything, she discovers the problem within...
Could it be! She too has been reborn...
This thought exploded in Gu Tong’s mind, lingering and never fading away.
Everything washed over her entirely, even her toes felt cold!
The joy of reuniting with a friend was completely overshadowed by this mission...
She did not forget Xia Xi’s special relationship with Gong Chenli, nor did she forget Xia Xi’s purposeless, actionable nature...
If the Xia Xi in front of her is truly reborn! Then she will become the biggest stumbling block in this mission...
"What? You don’t like me anymore~~"
Xia Xi craned her neck, looking somewhat strangely at Gu Tong, as if testing something―――
That’s right, they were testing each other!
Such a situation was keenly perceived by Gu Tong, her expression remained calm as she forcibly suppressed the waves in her heart.
She clearly understood within her heart, she and Xia Xi had an essential difference, Xia Xi was hard to recognize in her past life due to her disfigurement.
In her past and present life, there was no difference! She was merely a bit younger, according to Xia Xi’s understanding of her, a single glance would be enough to recognize her.
Therefore, it was highly probable that Xia Xi had discovered her, which was why she stubbornly approached to teach her.
Gu Tong suppressed her inner emotions, composed herself in a calm state, and said, "Loved you!"
With just one sentence, Xia Xi’s hair stood on end, she turned into a spiky hedgehog as she angrily said, "Loved? Loved what does that mean!!! Tired of love, is it!!?"
This time she was completely upset, almost flipping the table...
This person, could she be any more excessive...
The atmosphere between them was incredibly subtle, and the bodyguards on the side were completely dumbfounded, they strongly believed... these two tough ancestors should give them a reasonable explanation...
How come the young lady exposed her real name... please do tell...
"Hmph! It’s rare for someone to like you, that’s why I’m telling you my name~ No hugs or kisses for me, I’m so aggrieved~"
Xia Xi puffed up like a resentful housewife, as if Gu Tong had somehow offended her.
The familiar feeling grew stronger and stronger, making Gu Tong increasingly believe she was Xia Xi, to the point where she couldn’t even dispel the thought!
"Hey hey hey! Can you pay attention to me for a moment! I’m telling you, it’s really hard for me to like someone, if it weren’t for the sake of you protecting me and holding my little hand! I wouldn’t have told you my name!"
Xia Xi struck a pose that said, "I’m upset, why aren’t you comforting me?" yet she had made her intentions clear.
It was precisely because Gu Tong had just protected her, that Xia Xi considered her a friend and honestly disclosed her name.
Xia Xi wanted Gu Tong not to misunderstand, but it only deepened Gu Tong’s misconception!
Gu Tong furrowed her eyebrows tightly!
The characteristic of Xia Xi’s personality, her guilty behavior just leads to explaining!
Making things worse by explaining, that’s her signature move!
