I took the long route on my way back, letting the cold wind clear my head as I slowly trod the snow-laden paths.
The series of shocking news from the month before must've helped me build my resilience. After finding out that I was a dead person reincarnated with a different soul, it wasn't too hard anymore to come to terms with the fact that I wasn't even a "person". As unbelievable as everything Teng Yuan told me today was, I managed to take it almost calmly, and my mind even stayed clear enough to think all of it through—no wonder Bai Ye was so hesitant to give me Twin Stars at first; no wonder my soul had no past cycles of life; no wonder the sorrowful look in his eyes that he always tried to hide from me …
My questions had finally been answered. The visit today would have eased all my worries for the past month and brightened my day … if not for the revelation that I was the one who ended so many lives.
