422 Chapter 422 “This is Her Fear?!“
What the h.e.l.l, this hallucination felt too real. She could even hear the sounds that were emanating from her apparent surroundings.
TAP TAP TAP.
Li s.h.i.+ Ying heard the sound of footsteps but didn"t try to hide away from it or try to conceal herself since she had a guess as to who this person might be. Who else would be inside Long Ao Zhen Dorm if not him?
"Whos there?" A deep manly voice suddenly rang throughout the room that startled Li s.h.i.+ Ying when her eyes gazed upon the man that she was familiar with, who seemed to be walking in her direction with only a towel covering his lower body.
"A-ao Zhen? Please wear some clothes first." Li s.h.i.+ Ying knew that this was a hallucination but she couldn"t help but blush on seeing the visage of Long Ao Zhen with only a towel covering his lower body, his upper body lay in full glory for her to witness upon.
Being a beauty was a sin and exposing that s.e.xy body was even more of a sin.
As if understanding that Li s.h.i.+ Ying was in front of him, "Long Ao Zhen" took out a set of clothes and disappeared around a blind spot to wear it after which he nodded faintly to Li s.h.i.+ Ying.
Seeing "Long Ao Zhen" interact with her even though this was a hallucination, Li s.h.i.+ Ying was amazed by how real this hallucination could be. No wonder many failed this test.
"Now, what are you doing here Ying"er?" "Long Ao Zhen" had dressed neatly and was now standing in front of her while tilting his head casually in her direction, his deep gaze seemed to almost penetrate into her.
Oh! This "Long Ao Zhen" could even talk to her. This was exactly like what she had experienced back in Youdu Mountain.
"No it was n-" Li s.h.i.+ Ying wanted to say that she didn"t have any purpose for coming here since this was hallucination anyway but then she found herself to be unable to control her mouth.
Li s.h.i.+ Ying didn"t know what happened to her but she seemed to have lost any semblance of control over her body. She could only see how she approached "Long Ao Zhen" and said with a serious expression on her face even though she didn"t want to say such a thing.
"Ao Zhen I...actually I..." Li s.h.i.+ Ying was trying hard not to say anything by trying to cut her words in the middle but then it continued to reverberate from her mouth against her wish.
What the h.e.l.l! This hallucination forced her to say something she didn"t want to say and also forced her to do something that she didn"t want to do.
Well, this was only inside her mind so anything could happen but this was already beyond normal.
"Yeah, what is it?" "Long Ao Zhen" smiled like usual even though Li s.h.i.+ Ying was stuttering like a nervous kid.
"I...actually I....I love you!" Li s.h.i.+ Yings face was red as this sentence blurted out from her lips even though she didn"t want to utter something like this.
It was true that she loved him but she didn"t plan to tell him even inside her hallucination. Wait a minute, she had a bad feeling about where this would eventually lead to.
"Ah? Well right...but I..." "Long Ao Zhens" face looked troubled as he forced a smile on his face after he heard Li s.h.i.+ Yings sudden confession.
Seeing "Long Ao Zhens" face which was so real to her, Li s.h.i.+ Yings heartbeat accelerated even though she knew this was a hallucination. Partly due to embarra.s.sment but mostly to fear.
Oh G.o.d, oh G.o.d, dont let her worst fears come true!
"I...only see you as a family, I am sorry." "Long Ao Zhen" had an apologetic face as he rejected Li s.h.i.+ Yings love confession with his reason being his opinion about considering her as his sibling.
Hearing "Long Ao Zhens" answer even though she fully knew this was all a hallucination, Li s.h.i.+ Ying had her heart tremble and her mind darken.
She knew well that this was all fake but when she heard "Long Ao Zhens" answer which was totally like what their situation was now, she couldn"t help but get hurt.
Her heart was squeezed tight and tears began to form inside her eyes when she knew "Long Ao Zhen" only thought of her as a "little sister". She knew even the Long Ao Zhen in real life treated her as his little sister, not more, not less.
So this...was her deepest fear. She did plan to confess to Long Ao Zhen when the time was right so her deepest fear now was...getting rejected by him.
This whole scene looked so d.a.m.n real to her. This...made her heart hurt so much that she thought it would explode.
Inside Li s.h.i.+ Yings contracted s.p.a.ce.
"This is bad, it has already been 5 minutes since the mistress entered into the hallucination but she still couldn"t break free from it. What should we do?"
Jiu Wei watched Li s.h.i.+ Yings mind and monitored the situation in the cave. He saw how the Chu siblings already broke free from their hallucination and were now worrying about Li s.h.i.+ Ying.
She was still trapped in her hallucination. He knew his mistress love for his highness but he didn"t expect her deepest fear would be exactly this.
Being rejected by Long Ao Zhen!
"Ying"er I...I"m sorry but I can never see you in a romantic way..." As if to add salt to her wound, "Long Ao Zhen" approached Li s.h.i.+ Ying and tried to apologize to her but that only made things worse.
What? He could never see her in a romantic way?
