Chapter 425: You're imitating me
"Think clearly about what?"
Yuan Siyin stood at the door in a deep voice and found that there were actually iron bars separating the inside.
In other words, this cell was no different from the others, except that it had an extra layer of copper and iron walls on the outside, which was used to better imprison Nalan Yujie.
"So it was you."
Nalan Yujie wasn't surprised at all, and then she chuckled. Her every smile and frown was remarkably similar to Nalan Yujie's. "The journey back was faster than I expected."
Yuan Siyin frowned slightly and repeated the question from before: "What did you just say you had figured out?"
Nalan Yujie shrugged, propped herself up on the table with her hands, and smiled charmingly: "Ask him if he has thought it through, whether he chooses me or you."
After all, you're not good enough for him. Do you think you're good enough for him now that you've come back?
Or are you confident you can protect everyone around you?
As Nalan Yujie spoke to herself, she slightly raised her chin, but as soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Yuan Siyin straight ahead again, seemingly not taking her seriously.
Yuan Siyin was taken aback by her words and coughed twice, covering her mouth. After catching her breath, she straightened up again, her expression much calmer than before: "Even if, as you think, I am not good enough for him, then all your painstaking efforts to imitate me have been in vain, haven't they?"
Nalan Yujie held up a finger and shook it, her smile growing increasingly eerie: "No, we are different."
“What’s different?”
“You are nothing like Yuan Siyin.”
Yuan Siyin's eyes should have a bit more arrogance and unruliness. She is the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, with a noble status. It is you who have imitated her so poorly.
You lost, but I won.
As she spoke, she cupped her face in her hands, seemingly mesmerized, and murmured to herself, "I've grasped the essence. I am clearly Yuan Siyin; you're just imitating me..."
Yuan Siyin just stared at her for a long while before quietly asking, "Do you still remember what you used to be like, Nalan Yujie?"
“My name is not Nalan Yujie.”
Her face instantly darkened, and she rushed to the iron bars, desperately trying to grab Yuan Siyin's collar: "I am Yuan Siyin!"
The guards shielded Yuan Siyin and took two steps back, their expressions impatient: "She does this every time, Princess, you don't need to take it to heart."
"It's alright, you can go out now."
"This..." The guard hesitated, unsure whether he should listen to her.
"She's locked up inside and can't hurt me. Just go about your business."
"If you have any other important matters, please feel free to give them."
Yuan Siyin nodded and watched the guard leave before stepping forward again to stand in front of Nalan Yujie. Her voice was extremely calm: "Actually, you've already learned it very well, there's just one shortcoming."
"What?!" Nalan Yujie suddenly raised her head: "Which point?!"
"That is, I am Yuan Siyin, and you are Nalan Yujie. This is the most fundamental difference."
Even if you imitate my expressions and habits, you can't create another version of me exactly, let alone transform yourself into another person.
As she spoke, Yuan Siyin took out a scroll from her sleeve and slowly unfurled it in front of her. In the painting, a girl timidly held a sparrow and a cluster of swaying lilies of the valley in her arms.
"During my three years in the northern frontier, I would collect some of your belongings when I had nothing to do, such as your old portraits."
Upon seeing the painting, Nalan Yujie seemed to instantly regain her senses, suppressing her smile as she returned to her simple table and sat down.
