For a moment, Shikizaki Chuncai felt conflicted.
Compared to the slight disturbances of emotions in her heart, Beichuan Si had already seen through her; he sat beside Shikizaki Chuncai and replied, "I've already mentioned before, I only met your father once. And... seeing you reminds me of someone."
"Someone?" Shikizaki Chuncai tilted her head.
"My sister," Beichuan Si continued candidly, "Her name is Nishijou Kurenai."
"Kurenai..." Shikizaki Chuncai muttered the name softly.
"Mm," Beichuan Si responded evenly.
The two fell into a subtle silence.
After a while, Beichuan Si broke the brief tranquility,
"Your father entrusted me with some words for you. Would you like to hear them?"
Silence.
A prolonged silence.
Shikizaki Chuncai's body trembled, her complexion turning slightly pale.
She pondered for a long time, for a very long time, before she slowly nodded.
