Chapter 1209: A Private Conversation

Han Jing thought of this and couldn’t help but feel a bit lost.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed. From the time she met Yun Feng and the others until now, it had been twelve years. And now, she still didn’t know whether An’an and Yun Feng had woken up.

So, time really does fly by so quickly.

Lei Yibei was sitting right across from Han Jing, yet suddenly caught that fleeting flash of sadness and helplessness in her eyes. It was just eating something, why would there be… sadness?

“Is it not to your taste?” Lei Yibei asked lightly.

“Hm?” Han Jing’s thoughts were interrupted, she paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, “No, I was just reminded of a friend who also makes this kind of food. It’s just… he was hurt, I wonder if he’s gotten better.”

“Sister Jing, I…” Xiaoqi just started speaking when she caught Han Jing’s gaze and froze for a moment, swallowing back her words.

Then, she lowered her head and silently ate the snacks. Sister Jing was really crafty. When she didn’t want you to see her thoughts, there was nothing you could see; when she wanted you to see, she would directly tell you with her eyes what she was thinking.

So… alas, it’s too amazing.

Xiaoqi continued eating the food with relish, but it left Feng Chan Yi, who was watching beside her, a bit stunned. Their Xiaoqi usually spoke quickly and directly; such hesitation was extremely rare. This Little Sister Jing was too formidable, taming Xiaoqi with just a look.

He was really quite puzzled: “Little Sister Jing, what tricks do you have that make Xiaoqi so obedient?”

Xiaoqi glared at Feng Chan Yi: “You can’t learn it anyway!”

Han Jing chuckled softly: “There’s no secret, really… but Xiaoqi does like to hear good things said about her.”

“Sister Jing!” Xiaoqi whined, tugging at Han Jing’s sleeve, making Han Jing laugh out loud, and Feng Chan Yi also laughed along.

As for Lei Yibei, his gaze always remained on Han Jing, faintly yet undeniably noticeable.

Han Jing really couldn’t ignore such a gaze, and had to speak up: “Island Master Lei, if it’s convenient, could we talk alone?”

Lei Yibei hadn’t spoken yet when Xiaoqi chimed in: “Okay, okay!”

Feng Chan Yi went to pull Xiaoqi, telling her not to cause trouble.

Lei Yibei didn’t respond but stood up and walked out. Han Jing hesitated for a moment and followed him.

Han Jing followed Lei Yibei for a long distance until they stopped at a bridge.

This bridge only had one section, at the azure shore of the Ice Lake, an ice-white bridge, breathtakingly beautiful yet with a kind of piercing coldness.

Han Jing didn’t know why, but she had an illusion of coldness. She should be the one least afraid of the cold, but standing here, she actually felt a chill.

She couldn’t help but turn to look at Lei Yibei, suddenly feeling that the coldness wasn’t coming from elsewhere, but from Lei Yibei himself.

Han Jing was wondering what Lei Yibei intended by exuding such a low aura, when she suddenly saw Lei Yibei reach towards her. Han Jing instinctively thought Lei Yibei meant to harm her, so she hurriedly retreated. She definitely couldn’t beat Lei Yibei, but as long as she distanced herself, she could call for Xiaoqi’s help, and then her life would be safe.

But right behind her was the Ice Lake, and with a sudden backward step, plus Lei Yibei actually making a move, she was truly caught off guard, tumbling towards the lake.

Just when she was about to take action, Lei Yibei grabbed her fingers!
