Chapter 1694: Thinking About Something Else

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Chu suddenly woke up from the dream. She had a cold sweat during this afternoon nap, and her entire back was cold. She dreamed about… her younger self? Was it a dream, or was it something that really happened before?

Why was the dream so realistic? She held onto her head slightly and felt extremely uncomfortable. At that moment, she was unable to find out why her heart was palpitating so quickly. She was unhappy for the entire afternoon and was unable to pay attention during her lesson.

She had been dreaming consecutively for days. She dreamed about two girls, the round-faced girl and the girl with the egg-shaped face. Both of them were always inseparable and playing with each other. One of them was as mischievous as a boy, and one of them was a demure, gentle girl. One of them climbed trees and dived into the water, teasing cats and dogs; the other was obedient, cute, and likable.

One caused all the trouble; the other became the scapegoat.

Ye Chu was extremely frustrated. She did not want to have such dreams, but every night when she fell asleep, she would dream constantly. The dreams were not continuous. Were those her memories? Were those her childhood memories?

The night in New York was silent. Xiao Ju learned from Wei Ling that Ye Tingyun had gone to a concert with Emma. She looked at Ye Chu pitifully, feeling relieved that Ye Chu was blind and could not see her sympathy.

The concert’s songs were all familiar to him. He was a loyal fan of the band and would go for most of the major concerts. Music was a channel for him to seek tranquility. It was the first time that there was someone accompanying him to appreciate this band.

Emma was wearing a red dress with a V-shaped neckline and a high waistline. It was a very classic French dress, and it made her look tall and beautiful. She looked vastly different from how she looked like at work—it seemed like she had turned into someone else. Her side-profile was flawless in the light, and her thoughts were wholly on Ye Tingyun. What did she have to do to attract more of his attention?

Ye Tingyun was admiring the concert. He could not help but think that Ye Chu would be very impatient should she come to this concert. She had always disliked stuff like this and stated very straightforwardly that she had no appreciation for it.

He could not help but laugh. Hai Lun said that Ye Chu was rude, uncultured, and uneducated. For a girl like her to be by his side, she seemed like Cinderella who had grown wings, flying to the top-most tree branch and becoming a golden phoenix.

However, Ye Chu never felt inferior. She was narcissistic and confident. She did not think that she knew nothing; she did not retreat nor feel inferior. It was as if she was born a princess and everyone had to follow her whims and fancies, surrounding her. If she did not know, she would say that she did not know. If she disliked something, she would say it right out. She would never make herself feel wronged.

Ye Tingyun thought that before Ye Chu became eight years old and went to Shanghai, she was probably raised in a cultured and respectable family. Otherwise, she would not have such confidence, which originated from within her. She did not have anything, yet she would feel like she owned everything in the world.

After the concert ended, Ye Tingyun sent Emma home. Emma initially wanted to invite him for a drink, but Ye Tingyun said, “I’m not drinking. There’s someone waiting for me at home.”

Emma recalled the little girl that she saw today. When she saw her, Emma had a strange yet indescribable feeling. She concealed her disappointment. “Second Master is so nice to his little sister.”

The date was going well, but he would halt it for his little sister.

Ye Tingyun laughed lightly. “Yeah.”

Emma did not cling onto him anymore, alighted the car, and went home. When Ye Tingyun returned to the top floor of the MISS building, Xiao Ju was accompanying Ye Chu to read an essay. When she saw that Ye Tingyun had returned, she left immediately. Ye Chu thought for a bit. She only wanted Xiao Ju to read it out three times. She did not have to hide away so quickly, right?

“Where did you go?” asked Ye Chu.
