Xu Nuan straightened her posture and placed both of her hands on the table, maintaining a solemn face, she said, "You're right. I have another name as well and….it's Jiang Yue."
After she completed her words, there was a long uncomfortable silence in the room. No one spoke a single word for a few moments and the tick-tock sound of the wall clock was getting loud and clear.
Xu Nuan was sitting in a straight posture and was waiting for Jia Fei and Luo Dan's reaction about her 'confession.' She was still not sure if they would believe her ridiculous story or not. Will they treat her words as a ridiculous joke and pass it as if they heard nothing? Or…will they buy this 'impossible' statement of hers?
By now, two people are aware of this truth of hers. Lin Hao and Han Zihao.
She would be lying that she wasn't nervous when she came out clean to them. She was shaking and was wondering if she was doing the right thing by telling them this truth or not. However, at least at that time, she had the time and opportunity to think about all these matters.
She was the one who told them the truth, out of her own will. However, it was her first time, being pulled into a complicated situation like this and being interrogated like a criminal.
Jia Fei mentioned all the suspicions of hers one by one and she has no way to refute them. To be precise, she doesn't want to do that anymore.
She was also tired of this tom and jerry play. What could go wrong if she comes clean to them? Just like she told Han Zihao and Lin Hao about her identity, wouldn't it be better to tell them the same as well?
She was scared about this whole impromptu confession, but one thing was sure. She will not regret this moment, ever.
Anxiety, nervousness, and excitement - the ripples of all the emotions that she was going through right now- were showing on her face. Her fingers were nervously tapping on the table, her legs were quivering on their own will, meanwhile, a tensed crease had been formed on her forehead.
-
While every second was feeling like ages to Xu Nuan, time as if had stopped for Jia Fei. All the noises of the outer world have been stopped and everything has become so quiet that she could hear the sound of her heart beating against her chest, loud and clear.
Finally!! The answer to the questions that she has been searching for for months has been answered.
The thoughts that were making her crazy, to the point that she once thought of going to the psychiatrist and getting herself checked have been finally resolved.
All the tears that she had been holding onto since Jiang Yue's funeral, the pain that she was trying to suppress after sending her away as if found their way back to her eyes. The hot tears that were brimming her eyes earlier, finally, found a way out, dampening her cheeks.
Xu Nuan pursed her lips to see Jia Fei crying in front of her. The girl who never shows her true-emotional self to others was sobbing like a baby.
" You're such a bitch." She said while sobbing hard.
Xu Nuan who was holding onto her tears chuckled upon hearing her random comment. Now that's more like Jia Fei.
While Jia Fei was sobbing and was making a waterfall out of her salty tears, Luo Dan was sitting there still and lost in her trance.
However, Jia Fei's sniffling sound brought her back to reality. When she looked at her, she furrowed her brows in question, " Why…why are you crying like this?"
" What the- Don't tell me you didn't hear what she just said?" Jia Fei asked while wiping her teary waterfall from her cheeks.
" No. I heard it. But…why are you crying? Isn't she just going along with your play?" She asked in confusion.
Jia Fei: "....."
Xu Nuan: "....."
After listening to Xu Nuan's words, she also lost her senses for a moment. For a moment, she actually believed that the girl sitting in front of her was who had miraculously come to life and was now drinking coffee with them.
In that one minute, she was crying and jumping around in joy - hugging Jiang Yue as hard as she could and telling her how much she missed her and how hard it was for her to send her away so early. However, all of that was happening in her imagination only.
When she finally gained her senses, Jia Fei was crying in front of her, and instead of Jiang Yue, it was Xu Nuan sitting in front of her.
Yeah. That's the reality.
Jiang Yue is no more. There is no way that she can be back.
_
" You seriously think that she was playing along with me?" Jia Fei asked in disbelief.
" No, Damn it. It's true. She is our Jiang Yue. Although she doesn't look like one, in reality, she is our Jiang Yue. Haven't you read all those fanfictions about rebirth and stuff? That's what is going on here. " She explained.
Luo Dan took a deep breath and shook her head in denial, " Jia Fei, don't go overboard now. What you're saying is not possible. Jiang Yue is dead."
" A dead person cannot come back. It's not a fictional world but a real one. And those things don't happen in reality."
Upon listening to Luo Dan's firm thoughts, even Xu Nuan was also caught off guard for a moment. Yeah. That's how a normal person should react to this kind of unbelievable situation.
And Jia Fei is definitely not a normal one.
After Han Zihao and Jia Fei's chill and easily believing responses, she forgot that what she is saying doesn't make any sense and needs some strong arguments with it.
" Xu Nuan, you too. How can you go along with her stupid jokes? I never thought that you could be this insensitive to joke around about such serious matters." Luo Dan turned to Xu Nuan to give her an earful.
" Who said that I am joking? Luo Dan, You know, I can joke about everything but not about such serious matters."
Xu Nuan said seriously.
Luo Dan was startled to see Xu Nuan's serious face when she said those words. It was her first time speaking to her in such a serious tone and authoritatively as if she is older than hers.
Her lips trembled as she tried to bring herself to refute Xu Nuan's words, when she heard her say, " It might sound ridiculous and a story of a fanfiction, but it's the reality of my life."
" I am Jiang Yue. Although I don't look as beautiful as before, it's still me. The face and body are of Xu Nuan but it's definitely me. Do you think a common girl with no experience in the music industry can take a huge risk to debut a hit group like The Knights and build her own entertainment company in less than a year?"
" If that's now believable enough, do you want me to recount all the stories of our past to make you believe me?" Xu Nuan asked seriously.
Luo Dan was speechless.
Until now, she was thinking that Xu Nuan was simply playing along to Jia Fei's prank and will laugh it off afterward, but now it's getting serious and all of this was making her nervous.
She was afraid that all of this will just be a beautiful dream that will break when her alarm goes off.
She clenched her fists tightly as she hurriedly took a large sip of her iced coffee, whose ice had been melted long ago to quench her thirst. After controlling her overflowing emotions, she finally said, " You're joking right? I mean…how is it possible? It's not logical."
" You're simply saying that a dead person came to life? Is that what you mean? I mean…How?" Luo Dan stuttered while thinking about the whole scenario. It's not possible.
" The situation is ridiculous indeed. Even I couldn't believe that I was not dead and in someone else's body when this happened. For a month, I tried to come up with some reason behind this happening but there was none." Xu Nuan said, recollecting the memories when she woke up in Xu Nuan's body after her accident in the hospital.
" So I came to a conclusion after all the brainstorming. There is no reason behind all of this. I am just one lucky person, who got to live her life once again, even though it's in someone else's body."
" There is no reason, like the other hundreds of things that cannot be explained with logic and science. I know it's hard to believe but-
"No! I believe you." Luo Dan cut off Xu Nuan's words and continued in her trembling-choking voice, " No. Even if you're joking, I want to believe you." As she said this, large, crystal-like tears rolled down her cheeks.
" It is the truth. If you want, I can even tell you the passcode of your old apartment. I am sure your current house must have the same password as before because you're too forgetful to memorize another one." Xu Nuan added which made Luo Dan burst into tears, unlocking her tears treasure.
