Chương 36: Chapter 36: Silent Reflections
Feng Yan walked down the quiet streets of the city, her pace unhurried as the cool evening breeze brushed against her face. After the tense dinner at Feng Manor, she hadn't touched a single bite of food. She wasn't in the mood to deal with their schemes, and sitting through their fake smiles and thinly veiled hatred had left a sour taste in her mouth.
Her eyes scanned the street ahead, and she spotted a small restaurant tucked between two larger buildings. It wasn't anything extravagant, but it had a certain warmth to it that drew her in. The windows were clean, the light inside soft and inviting. A simple but comforting place—exactly what she needed to calm her restless mind.
As she stepped inside, the scent of freshly cooked food filled the air. The place was mostly empty, with just a few diners scattered around. Feng Yan chose a seat by the window, where she could watch the city unfold around her. The streets were still lively with people bustling about, oblivious to the storm brewing beneath the surface of her life.
She ordered a simple soup noodles, nothing too elaborate, and leaned back in her chair, gazing out at the world beyond the glass. Her mind was a swirl of thoughts, memories from her past life merging with the present.
Ever since her rebirth, pieces of the puzzle she had once ignored were now falling into place. In her previous life, she had been so consumed by her own suffering and the cruelty of those around her that she failed to notice the web of events that had unfolded in the city. How many things had she overlooked? How many opportunities had slipped through her fingers?
This time, things were different. She had a second chance, and she was determined to use it wisely. She remembered the pivotal events that had shaped the city and the people she had known, events she hadn't cared about back then because of the tragic end to her life. But now, she could see the connections between them, the hidden threads that wove together the fates of everyone around her.
As her food arrived, Feng Yan ate in silence, her eyes still fixed on the street outside. The meal was simple, but it was exactly what she needed—nourishing without the weight of pretension. As she ate, her mind continued to work through the events she had seen in her previous life.
At this time, she thought, many things were happening in the city that would eventually lead to a much larger crisis. If I play my cards right, I can use these incidents to my advantage.
She recalled the scandals, betrayals, and alliances that had shaped the fate of those around her. She had been too wrapped up in her own pain to see them clearly before. Now, she had a front-row seat to the unfolding drama and a deeper understanding of how to manipulate it for her benefit.
Finishing her meal, Feng Yan paid the bill and left the restaurant, stepping back onto the street. The night air was crisp, refreshing her after the tense encounter with the Feng family. She strolled along, her pace measured and her gaze sharp.
The city stretched out before her, a place filled with opportunities and dangers alike. But this time, she wasn't just a bystander. She was in control, and every step she took was deliberate, part of a larger plan.
Feng Yan's lips curved into a faint smile as she walked under the dim streetlights. She had a long road ahead of her, but with her newfound clarity and power, nothing was out of her reach.
