Chapter 418: Reunion (1)
Gong Yi Mo deeply felt touched. She didn’t imagine that she was someone with so much charisma. She felt that she was unworthy of such praise in fact!
She had forgotten all the things that she had done! She had simply tweaked a few things here and here but greatly improved the livelihoods of the citizens. In addition to that, with the news that spread about her deeds, and how she continued to tackle the challenges that faced her…simply said, she was the ancient version of a celebrity! With great influence!
In the cheering of the masses, Gong Yi Mo almost forgot where she was from the excitement. Why did she never realize her celebrity status before?
Just as she was bathing in glee, the previously chattering crowd had suddenly quieted!
She slowly raised up her head, seeing a boy wearing black clothes, silently standing there. He was trying to catch his breath, silently…watching her.
Gong Jue…
After Gong Yi Mo spotted him in that moment, she felt her heart beating loudly because…he had grown so much…
Gong Jue was good looking. Gong Yi Mo knew that from her past life. But the Gong Jue who stood in front of her now was even more attractive.
That was because he didn’t experience a world full of twisted and cruel people. Such a world was too black and white. It could be said that his emotions could easily be seen by those sparkling eyes, not allowing Gong Yi Mo to escape.
His beauty was shocking, him being there was shocking as well, but his feelings were gentle like water, only watching her, as if attempting to submerge her.
As the crowd continued to watch, Gong Yi Mo suddenly felt a little hot. Wasn’t it winter? Could spring be approaching?
But the crowd had quieted down for another reason.
Gong Jue’s reputation was no lesser than that of Gong Yi Mo’s. What was different was that while Gong Yi Mo received the love and affection of the people, Gong Jue…struck fear into them.
Only after a few years, the people who had gone to the Caishikou* surpassed that of the past few centuries! And time after time again, the criminals would greatly insult his name. Therefore, his name was familiar, and the citizens knew of him, but not as the ninth prince or as Qi Wang.
TN*: where people go to receive the death penalty/tortured
Gong Jue continued to watch Gong Yi Mo. Nothing else mattered anymore, it was okay if she was the last person on the entire world!
She…was truly back…
He walked towards Gong Yi Mo. As he became closer with each step, it felt as though he were stepping on his own heart.
The crowd naturally backed up, dispersing to create a path allowing for Gong Jue to easily stride over to Gong Yi Mo’s side. Since she was sitting on a giant boulder, he could only watch her from below, and couldn’t help but crack a smile.
It was really her.
Gong Yi Mo stared, his smile like the melting of snow, as gentle as the clouds in the blue sky, clean and clear.
So she sat there frozen, watching him walk closer. Unsure of why, she was unable to move her arms and legs…could it be because all of the other times had built up some sort of automatic response in her brain?
The way she stiffly sat there made Gong Jue’s mood even better. He flashed a row of white teeth.
“Sister,” he quietly said.
Hearing that crisp yet warm tone made her feel as if she had never left to begin with.
“Huh?”
Gong Yi Mo continued to sit there without moving, her snowy white face appearing cute again. Gong Jue wanted to hold her in his embrace and rub her cheek.
He held himself back, stretching out his hand towards her, quietly saying, “I’ll assist you down–”
Hearing that he wanted to hug her, Gong Yi Mo forgot to retort back and took his hand instead, as he carried her off of the boulder!
