Chapter 308 A Strange Familiarity

Along the way, Gu Zijing was driving and while waiting at traffic lights, she looked out the window at the bustling traffic and people coming and going, and was slightly stunned.

Suddenly, a face appeared on the car window. Its skin was bluish-gray, and its eyes were all white. Its face looked like it had been bitten, with a large area rotting and oozing red and green fluid. Countless maggots were wriggling and decaying inside.

"grass!"

Gu Zijing rarely swore.

The next second, there was a knock on the car window. He shook his head and saw a normal-looking, rather pretty woman standing outside. She knocked on the window, and after Gu Zijing rolled down the window, her eyes lit up: "Handsome, the light's green, why aren't you moving? Did your car break down?"

Gu Zijing glanced at the light and saw that it was indeed green: "Sorry, I'll be going now."

"Wait, handsome, can I add you on WeChat?"

The woman took out her phone, but before she could even show the QR code, the man refused: "I don't have WeChat."

With that, the car window rolled up, and the car sped away, leaving the woman there rolling her eyes: "No WeChat? Who would believe that!"

Gu Zijing rubbed her temples as she drove, thinking that she must have stayed up too late last night and had a nightmare, which made her unable to concentrate.

The car drove all the way to the Pei residence, where the old butler greeted him warmly: "Young Master Gu has arrived."

"Uncle Chen, it's been a long time."

When she said this, Gu Zijing was taken aback. She felt that the title was strangely familiar, as if there was someone in her memory who was also called Uncle Chen.

He frowned slightly, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart: "Where is Pei Yi?"

"The young master is in his study."

As they were talking, Uncle Chen led Gu Zijing in, and they saw Pei Yi coming down from the second floor, carrying a thick, somewhat old book in his hand.

Gu Zijing's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward to take the books: "You really have a way."

It was just a coincidence.

As Pei Yi spoke, he led Gu Zijing to sit down in the living room. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed his younger sister secretly watching from the corner. He quickly called out, "Ling Ran, what are you doing standing there? We have a guest. Come over and say hello."

His voice made Gu Zijing follow his gaze.

Ling Ran.

The daughter brought by Pei Yi's stepmother.

Gu Zijing had seen the little girl a few times before; she was very shy and would always peek from afar, never daring to come closer.

The girl lowered her eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"Come here quickly and say hello to your brother Zijing." Pei Yi called out again, which made the girl run away.

Seeing this, Pei Yi sighed helplessly: "It's been so long, and she's still so shy. Zijing, do you think she might have some psychological problems? After all, before... Zijing?"

Gu Zijing's brows were furrowed and her face was pale.

This startled Pei Yi: "Zijin, are you feeling unwell? Uncle Chen, call the family doctor over."

Gu Zijing suddenly stood up and headed straight in the direction Ling Ran had just run. Pei Yi quickly followed, asking, "Zijing, what's wrong?"

He didn't say anything, but started searching the Pei family's house and eventually found the girl in the room.

"Zijing, how could you barge into a girl's room without knocking? You..."

Gu Zijing ignored him and walked over to Ling Ran, who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. The girl was rather thin, and her eyes showed timidity and a hint of fear when she looked at him.

He stared intently at the girl and asked, "What did you call me?"

The girl didn't answer, so he asked again, "What should you call me?"

"Brother Zijing..."
