A life of two souls traveling through time

The snowy forest shrouded in thick fog was a terrifyingly silent place with not even a trace of birds or animals. Jiang Siyao looked around in horror, but it was endless.

"Ange? Ange? Where's she? Where did she go?" She had long been accustomed to Ange's presence, and in panic she thought of Ange first. However, after shouting for a long time, she did not get the expected response. There was only her own echo and the sound of footsteps in the snow. It took her a long time to realize that the voice she just shouted was a familiar female voice. She repeatedly confirmed that the body at this time was not Li Yunye, and then she was surprised and happy: "It's mine, is it finally back? That's great, I can finally be Jiang Siyao again, that's great..."

"But where is this? Have I arrived in another unknown time and space?" If that were true, looking at the endless silence before his eyes would probably be more terrifying than being transported to Li Yunye's body.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the snowy forest, and frost and snow blew in her face. Jiang Siyao instinctively wrapped her cloak tightly around her body and turned to hide behind a tree. When she looked up, she was surprised to see another version of herself holding a bow and arrow with a cold look in her eyes.

"Is it you?" This should be the other personality that Dr. Yang mentioned, right?

But the other party did not answer, but pulled the bow in his hand expressionlessly, with the arrow pointing directly at Jiang Siyao.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Are you going to kill me?"

An arrow was shot out with a whoosh, but fortunately Jiang Siyao reacted quickly and escaped. Seeing that the other party was about to shoot the second arrow, she hurriedly ran away.

"You bastard! You ungrateful bastard! Why do you want to kill me? In a sense, I created you. You should be grateful to me for your existence. Why are you repaying kindness with hatred? You........."

"whoosh whoosh"

Jiang Siyao's hysterical cursing did not stop the other party from chasing her. Instead, more and more arrows pierced her ears. What was even more annoying was that no matter how hard she ran, she could not escape from the snowy forest, and the person behind her was like a dog-skin plaster and she could not get rid of him no matter how hard she tried.

"Save me...someone save me...I...I uh..."

With the help of the trees in the forest, she managed to dodge the arrows fired at her, but it seemed that her physical strength could never consume the arrows in the hands of the opponents. Just when she was exhausted and fell into despair, an arrow pierced her heart from behind.

"No...I don't want to die!"

A soft bed, a quiet warm room, the sky is slightly bright outside the window, and two sparrows are playing on the railing outside.

"Huh... Fortunately it was just a dream..." Smelling the lingering soothing fragrance in the room, Jiang Siyao's frightened mood slowly calmed down. He wiped the sweat off his face and got out of bed tiredly. His inner clothes were soaked with cold sweat. He couldn't help shivering all over when he suddenly left the quilt, but this also made him wake up quickly.

It was clearly a dream, yet it felt so real. Did she really kill me? Or did I subconsciously believe that she wanted to destroy me and replace me?

"Sir, what's wrong with you? You've been so listless since you got up. Are you feeling unwell? How about asking a doctor to take a look?"

During breakfast, An Ge, who was standing by, couldn't help but worry when she saw Li Yunye looking listless and having no appetite for his favorite pheasant and fish soup.

"It's okay, it was just a nightmare." Li Yunye shook his head, his eyelids drooping, looking listless.

"Sir, what nightmare did you have?"

"nothing....."

"Sir, I often hear old people say that dreams are the opposite of what they actually are. You should be happy if you have a nightmare."

"Thank you. I hope you can give me good wishes." Li Yunye smiled bitterly. Of course, it was enough to just listen to the words of comfort.

The Yunxian Lake outside the West City is still covered with snow-white blue waves and endless pavilions and corridors. From the exquisite boat in the center of the lake comes the vivid, melodious, and quiet zither and flute ensemble, which attracts many passers-by on the lakeside to stop and listen, and be mesmerized by the music.

After the song was over, Hong Nu put down the jade flute and pulled An Ge out, leaving only Xuan Yu and Li Yunye, who was staring out the window in a daze, in the room.

"Young Master, are you dissatisfied with Xuanyu's performance?" Xuanyu, from behind the pearl curtain, glanced at Li Yunye, who was still looking out the window with a sad face, and sighed in disappointment.

"It sounds good, it sounds good." Li Yunye came to his senses and realized that the performance had ended, and he applauded hurriedly.

"I thought Mr. Li would also like this song "Moonlight", but it seems I was overthinking it." Yan Yu chuckled, stood up and walked to Li Yunye to pour him a cup of hot tea, with the same faint smile on her face as before.

"Yanyu, you misunderstood, I..." Although Jiang Siyao saw that Yanyu was not angry with him, he felt extremely sorry in his heart, but he hesitated when the words came to his lips. Should he tell her that he was very irritable and in a bad mood today because of a dream? It would be quite disappointing to say this.

"Sir, are you worried about something?" Xuan Yu seemed to have noticed that Li Yunye was worried about something.

"Oh..." Thinking of the nightmare in the morning, Jiang Siyao felt like a thorn in his heart.

"Could it be that Master Li is coming back from the capital?"

Li Yunye shook his head and suddenly realized: "How do you know my father went to the capital?"

"There are many people coming and going in Hongxiang Pavilion, and Master Li is the world-renowned richest man in Jiangnan. It's not surprising that people often talk about him. I just heard it by chance." Yan Yu smiled at Li Yunye pretending to be calm.

"Yeah, a big shot like him is the center of attention." Jiang Siyao couldn't help but think of the playboy and idle Li Yunye, who was in sharp contrast with his father. She also understood the father's feeling of being disappointed in his father.

"Since it's not Master Li who is coming back, then what is the Master worried about?"

"Oh...I don't know where to start..." Li Yunye sighed again and picked up the warm tea beside him and drank it in one gulp.

"By the way, I'm afraid there's nothing Xuanyu can do about what the young master entrusted me with last time." Xuanyu was smart, and seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, she stopped talking about it and changed the subject.

"It doesn't matter. There's no rush for this matter. We have to wait for my father to come back before making a decision." Li Yunye waved his hand. He later felt that it was too hasty to find a gangster to be a bodyguard. Fortunately, Yanyu didn't find anyone, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Yan Yu didn't say anything else, just nodded, with a complicated look in her eyes.

"I didn't expect that you also understand music." In the small side room next door, Ange and Hongnu gathered around a brazier to keep warm. Thinking of the zither and flute performance just now, he cast an admiring look at her.

"I have been with the girl since I was a child, and it is not surprising that I am familiar with music." Hong Nu grinned disapprovingly and retorted in a childish voice.

"That's right...that's right..." Ange's cheeks turned red and she responded repeatedly.

"Hey, what's wrong with your young master today? He seemed to be completely inattentive to the performance my young lady and I were having just now. No one in the entire Qile City can be distracted by my young lady's piano playing, not to mention that the song today was the famous song "Moonlight" that your young master personally gave him."

"Young Master was awakened by a nightmare this morning. Perhaps he is still worried about this."

"Nightmare? What kind of nightmare could make Master Li so frightened?"

"I do not know either."

"You don't know?" Hong Nu curled her lips, shook her head and sighed in a solemn manner, "It seems that you, a servant, don't care much about your master."

"You are talking nonsense! I am loyal to my master..."

"Hmph, what's the point of being loyal if you can't share my worries?"

"If the young master doesn't tell me, what can I do?" Ange's face turned red again with grievance.

"Puchi, I was just teasing you, why are you so anxious?" Hong Nu couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed.

"You... are boring!" Ange's face turned blue and red after being teased by a little girl three years younger than him. He stood up angrily and sat in a corner.

Hong Nu didn't say anything else. He just glanced at Ange who had her back to him, then returned to the brazier with a sly smile.
