C2 Sheng Is Already Dead 

Qiao Weiyi was so worried about her daughter that she was walking at a quicker pace than usual - just then, she heard a voice which was familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time sound out from behind her.

"Sheng!"

Qiao Weiyi knew this voice all too well - the owner of the voice had even raised the tone of his voice at the end of his words slightly. It was him!

Qiao Weiyi's back stiffened as her heart shook slightly.

She slowly turned back to see a man who looked a little taller and more mature than she remembered him to be chasing after her in a flustered and hurried manner - he wouldn't stop repeating the name "Sheng."

He looked extremely emotional and anxious - it was almost as though he'd finally found the treasure that he'd been searching for half of his life.

Qiao Weiyi's heart leapt to her throat as soon as she made eye contact with Zhung Shiyan - she felt as though she was being hunted down by a dangerous predator and had no way out. She felt so helpless and weak that she was terrified.

Zhung Shiyan, who'd been chasing after Qiao Weiyi, stopped dead in his tracks when the latter turned around.

He stared at Qiao Weiyi - the confusion in his eyes soon transformed into bitter disappointment as his face contorted slightly.

Damn it, another person who looked similar to Sheng from behind!

He pursed his lips tightly.

No matter how similar their back view and temperament looked, Zhung Shiyan knew that Qiao Weiyi wasn't Sheng - he'd snapped out of his hope as soon as she'd turned around.

Zhung Shiyan swept his cold gaze over Qiao Weiyi indifferently as he tucked his left hand into his pocket like how he usually would - it was almost as though he hadn't been the person who'd been chasing after the latter so anxiously and frantically just a couple of seconds ago.

Qiao Weiyi reverted back to her default expression as soon as she saw Zhung Shiyan's face change.

"Sir, were you calling out to me earlier?" Qiao Weiyi asked in a slightly quizzical manner.

She then ran her fingers through her hair as she smiled slightly at Zhung Shiyan, "I'm so sorry, but I think you've mistaken me for someone else," she said sheepishly, "My name is Qiao Weiyi. I don't think that I'm the person that you're looking for."

She the nodded politely at Zhung Shiyan as soon as she was finished speaking. "Alright, I'll be taking my leave now - goodbye and please have a pleasant day ahead."

The coldness and indifference that had been in Zhung Shiyan's eyes faded and was replaced by sadness and disappointment as soon as Qiao Weiyi turned away.

He couldn't help but stare at Qiao Weiyi - she just looked so similar to the image of the woman that was still fresh in his memory. He felt his heart throb slightly in a pained and agonized manner as he remembered her.

Zhung Shiyan sighed - he'd met millions and millions of other people ever since they'd parted. Some of them had similar eyebrows, similar eyes, and many other similar characteristics to the person whom he had in mind...alas, no one had a face that was similar to hers.

Sheng, where are you?

Meanwhile, at this very moment, Qiao Weiyi had been walking away hastily when she abruptly halted to lean against the wall limply - she pressed her fingers tightly against her chest as her face paled so much that it was almost as white as the wall that she was leaning against.

Damn it!

Zhung Shiyan, why did I meet you again after five years?

Qiao Weiyi couldn't help but recall the nightmare that she'd been having right before she'd come over to the kindergarten - she was shaking so badly that she could almost feel her heart trembling over where she was clutching at her chest.

Qiao Weiyi willed herself to tune out the voices in her head as she sagged slightly against the wall - so much sweat was coating her forehead that her hair had become slightly matted and drenched.

Qiao Weiyi brought her hand up to wipe the sweat off her forehead - she then hesitated for a moment before slowly tracing her face with her fingertips.

So what if her back view looked the same as before? Her face would never be the same again - no one could possibly recognize her to be the person whom she used to be.

Qiao Weiyi caressed her face - it was a face that no one could recognize anymore. She sucked in a deep breath and sighed - she then stood up slowly after she'd calmed down enough.

Qiao Weiyi looked up at the sky and couldn't help but curl the corner of her lips slightly.

Zhung Shiyan, Sheng is already dead - she'd died a long time ago.
