Capítulo 68: A Secret

I stood in front of Ci, waiting for any form of response but the only thing I received was a blank stare which made me confused. He can speak, right? The last time we met he definitely could speak but today he hasn't uttered a single word since he arrived. Don't tell me...

Is he shy?

No, no, no. What am I even thinking? We only met for the second time in our entire lives, why would he be bashful in front of me? There must be another reason. Should I say something? Or should I wait more?

I was still in my thoughts when I soon heard a deep voice. He spoke! He finally spoke! Thank you for not making it more awkward!! Though his voice felt oddly familiar for some reason.

"Been a long time..."

That was what he said. After a total of seven minutes and thirty-two seconds of silence, these were the four words that he uttered... Seriously???
