Chapter 6, Who is Ye Jiao
Oh, from now on I shall be Ye Jiao
Who is Yingyan?
I am Yingyan
When I wanted to take off the bracelet, I realized that while it was easy to put on, it was not easy to remove. Several of my metacarpal bones were rubbed painfully, and the jade bracelet remained firmly stuck in the middle, refusing to come off no matter what I did
I finally woke up around noon, and my pajamas were already soaked through
She is Ye Jiao, so what am I
Ha, I am Ye Jiao, and you are naturally me
This time, I did not see myself transform into a monster with a face full of pus and blood; rather, throughout the entire dream, I was arguing with others
At this moment, I realized that typing while wearing a heavy jade bracelet is indeed not a convenient task
According to my erratic lifestyle, I still go to sleep at 3:00 AM
Still, there is a woman whose face is indistinct, with fair skin, wearing a light purple long dress, and a peach-red shawl draped around her arms, flowing like water as it cascades down, swaying gently at the hem of her dress, light and ethereal like a fairy
Good evening, it is easy to send the reluctant Yan Yining back, and naturally, I am busy opening my computer to continue my plan of chatting online. The original fatigue and drowsiness have completely vanished.
"When I am Ye Jiao, you will be Ying Yan."
Who are you again
You are Yingyan, how could you be Ye Jiao
Ye Jiao
I hung up the phone, and it took a long time to confirm that I am Ye Jiao
I answered the phone in a daze, and it was Yan Yining, seemingly urging me to get up, to go out and be more active, and not to stay cooped up online all day long
You are the lingering smoke, and I am the bright leaf!
Yingyan said she is Ye Jiao
The phone is still ringing with the cheerful birthday song, sounding somewhat distant
The previous day was plagued by nightmares, preventing me from getting a good night's sleep. I thought that on this day, I would finally be able to sleep comfortably and would wake up refreshed by noon. However, to my surprise, I found myself dreaming again.
Indeed, the beauty within the bracelet, with sleeves fluttering like a dance, appears even more graceful and lovely under the light, as if floating towards the heavens, and even the peach-red veil seems exceptionally vivid.
I admit that I am an impatient person. Although I know that using soap, petroleum jelly, and similar substances can help with lubrication and make it easier to remove, it is the middle of the night, and I am too lazy to deal with it.
I agreed, my voice sounded ethereal as if it were coming from another world, and it felt as though it was not me speaking at all
I am Yingyan
I am originally Ye Jiao, so how could you be Ye Jiao
I soaked in the bathtub for a full two hours, and I concluded about my recurring nightmares: I must have been writing novels detached from reality for too long, which is why I have such absurd dreams
Yan Yining mostly thought that I was asleep when I answered the phone, and he had no suspicions. He simply mentioned that he had a business deal to attend to outside and estimated that he would be back in four to five days
Not to mention the lightness affecting my wrist, the sound of the bracelet's edge constantly tapping against the keyboard has already become quite bothersome to me
The entire night, I was dreaming, arguing with that woman in ancient attire in a tongue-twisting manner. I tried to retort, insisting that I was Ye Jiao, but that woman, yes, she should be called Ying Yan, desperately claimed that she was the true Ye Jiao
It is yet another dream that drives me crazy
Are you Ye Jiao? Then who am I
... ...
What is your name? Damn it, it sounds remarkably similar to the voice in the dream from the previous day, a gentle woman's voice, crisp and delicate
