1774: Impatient

Impatient

Huo Yunshen then played Landscape, a movie that Jing Xi had played in. They finished watching the movie, and Huo Yunshen asked Jing Xi what she thought of it.2

Jing Xi knew that Huo Yunshen wanted to ask if she remembered anything or not.

She shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm a little tired now… Can I go to sleep?"

"Sure thing. Let me help you."

Huo Yunshen wanted to carry Jing Xi back to the room, but Jing Xi rejected him.

Jing Xi got up and left for the bedroom alone.

Looking at their relationship getting worse, Huo Yunshen frowned.

He wondered if he was being too impatient.

…

Jing Xi had initially just wanted to rest a little to get away from Huo Yunshen, but she slept until night fell.

She came out of the bedroom and could not find the king anywhere.

Just as she was wondering if Huo Yunshen had headed out, the door opened. She raised her head, thinking that Huo Yunshen had come back, but the one who came in was Fang Xiaocheng.

Jing Xi stared at the familiar face and felt bad. If I'm the real Jing Xi, how could I forget my best friend?

She couldn't remember anything about Fang Xiaocheng.

"Miss Jing, you're up?" Fang Xiaocheng asked when she noticed Jing Xi was standing in the living room.

"Where's Mr. Huo?" Jing Xi asked.

"He's holding his birthday party now. He asked me to come and fetch you," Fang Xiaocheng explained.

"I see…" Jing Xi only just remembered that it was the king's birthday.

"Can we leave now?" Fang Xiaocheng asked.

"Let me change first."

"Here, wear this," Fang Xiaocheng said as she handed Jing Xi a bag. "Mr. Huo told me to give it to you."

Jing Xi thanked her and took the bag over. She opened it and found an elegant dress in it.

"This is too fancy for me." Jing Xi shook her head. "I'll wear my own clothes."

Seeing Jing Xi not willing to wear the dress, Fang Xiaocheng did not try to persuade her any further.

After leaving Shengshi Yujing, Fang Xiaocheng drove Jing Xi to the party venue. They rarely talked on their way there.

The car finally stopped at the bank of a lake.

"Miss Fang, I thought we were going to a party?" Jing Xi asked.

"The party is on the island in the middle of the lake. We'll have to take a boat there," Fang Xiaocheng explained.

They boarded the boat, and they left for the island. The island was lit with all sorts of lights.

They reached the island and headed for the Qingyun Residence.

The residence was so pretty. Jing Xi felt like she was in Alice's wonderland. She followed Fang Xiaocheng into the residence and felt like she'd entered a place that did not fit her.

But she also felt attracted to the place.

As they walked into the residence, Jing Xi could hear a familiar song. It was the theme song for Deep in the Shadows of the Stars, Brilliant Stars.

The moment Jing Xi heard the duet, she could tell that she did not sing that song.
