Chapter 284

Ye Zhi was a little panicked instinctively. Although she was standing neither too close nor too far away from Gu Ren, it gave her the illusion that there was nowhere to escape.

Ye Zhi subconsciously took a step back but her heel hit a hard object, preventing her from retreating.

Behind her was the sofa and she had nowhere to go.

Ye Zhi’s every move, her subtle expression, and her emotional changes were all seen by Gu Ren. Ye Zhi’s face had a panicked expression. Even if she wanted to conceal it, it still showed somewhat on her face.

The words said by Gu Ren were like a huge rock thrown into a calm pond, causing numerous ripples. Ye Zhi couldn’t keep herself calm no matter how she tried.

Ye Zhi finally succeeded in surpassing her emotions and raised her head to look at Gu Ren.

A moment of silence.

Different from Ye Zhi’s panic, Gu Ren looked at Ye Zhi with a calm but soothing expression. There was even a smile on his lips.

Gu Ren finally broke the silence by saying: “I want you to see something.”

When Gu Ren stepped toward the study room, Ye Zhi followed him silently without even thinking about it.

The switch was turned on and the dark study was suddenly filled with light.

Gu Ren turned on the computer and clicked on the TV series in which the original ‘Ye Zhi’ performed. The video on the computer was playing and the background sound rang.

Ye Zhi’s gaze fell on the screen for no apparent reason. The woman in the video looked exactly like her, but she seemed to be a little different from her in every possible way.

“When I first met you, I realized that you were different from that person.”

Ye Zhi’s palms were a little sweaty and she didn’t even dare to look at Gu Ren. She could only hear Gu Ren’s voice slowly revealing the secret she had hidden for a long time.

Ye Zhi clearly knew that ‘that person’ mentioned by Gu Ren was the original ‘Ye Zhi’.

“Although I didn’t know that person well, I could still feel that your personalities were different. However, I didn’t take it to heart at that time.”

“For me at that time, it was not something worth paying attention to.”

“It wasn’t until that power outage that I really started paying attention to you. How could a person change so much in a few days?”

Ye Zhi who was slightly dazed all this time finally summoned up her courage to look at Gu Ren.

“That person didn’t go through systematic education so she doesn’t have much experience in acting but you are different.”

“Although you are also inexperienced, I can see a completely different attitude and strength in you. It feels like you have practised acting for a long time and have received systematic education.”

Since Gu Ren became concerned about Ye Zhi’s affairs, he had been observing her. The more he compared Ye Zhi’s behaviour with this video, the more differences he could see.

“Ye Zhi, look into my eyes.”

Ye Zhi subconsciously shifted her sight from his face to his eyes. Gu Ren deliberately said in a low and soft tone. Every word seemed to be bewitching Ye Zhi.

“Ye Zhi, I want to know more about you.”

Ye Zhi knew that Gu Ren had almost guessed the truth, but he didn’t reveal it directly. He wanted her to confess it personally and tell him her true identity.

Ye Zhi’s heartbeat increased greatly and the tip of her nose was covered with fine sweat even in winter.

“I don’t belong here. I come from another world.”

When Ye Zhi said those words, her heart was still beating fiercely, but her body suddenly relaxed a lot.

This secret had been firmly guarded by her, but she hoped to become someone with no secrets in front of Gu Ren.
