Suddenly, a woman who looked exactly like Yong Shanling appeared in front of her. The only difference was that this woman's face was full of anger, with a hint of remorse in her eyes.
"You!" Yong Shanling stared at the woman who looked just like herself and was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Surprised...?"
"I'm you." The other Yong Shanling sat on a piece of coral and looked at Yong Shanling leisurely.
"Are you the voice in my head?"
The other Yong Shanling didn't reply. She touched the fish with her hand and swayed her feet, which annoyed Yong Shanling for a moment.
"Who is Gu Li?"
It wasn't until Yong Shanling mentioned this name that the other her, who had been idle just now, suddenly froze in place. Her eyes were filled with anger, fear, and a bit of trepidation.
"Who is Bai Ling?"
"Gu Li... If he were still alive, you would surely have to spend your whole life repaying your debt."
The other Yong Shanling slowly turned her head and met her eyes. Those eyes made Yong Shanling unable to look away.
"You... are Bai Ling, right?"
Yong Shanling looked at her uncertainly, while she just curled up her lips into a smile.
"Ah, you guessed right."
"Bai Ling, why should I pay for your debt? What exactly happened on that cliff that day?"
Bai Ling looked at Yong Shanling in surprise for a moment. Then she suddenly rushed over and grabbed her shoulders. "You saw it! What exactly happened on that cliff that day, exactly..."
"I only saw you guys reach the cliff. I didn't see what happened after that."
Hearing her words, Bai Ling slowly let her hands that were holding Yong Shanling's shoulders fall. Her face was full of disappointment. "Sure enough, even you didn't see it."
Yong Shanling immediately pulled her over. "What exactly happened? Why has everything become so inexplicable?"
"Suddenly there are these dreams, suddenly you guys appear, and there are these unclear words. What on earth do you want me to do?"
"You guys always don't say anything. How am I supposed to guess?"
But Bai Ling left her with a sentence and suddenly disappeared in the water. "Don't remember. It will only bring you pain."
Yong Shanling watched as Bai Ling in her hand turned into bubbles and disappeared in the water. For a moment, she suddenly felt annoyed and had a hard time catching her breath.
Suddenly, she felt someone appear behind her. Yong Shanling immediately turned around and saw Mu Yijie looking at her with a puzzled expression. Mu Yijie pointed upwards, and she just nodded and followed Mu Yijie away.
"Where on earth did you go?" As soon as she got on the shore, Liu Ming suddenly rushed in front of her, looking a bit nervous.
Yong Shanling took off her diving mask and smiled at Liu Ming. "Don't worry. The underwater world is so beautiful that I got lost for a while."
"You scared me to death. I saw your coach sleeping on the shore, and you were nowhere to be found. I thought that man had taken you away."
At the end, Liu Ming whispered in her ear, looking around warily.
Yong Shanling was amused by Liu Ming's expression. She walked towards Qing Sui while comforting Liu Ming.
"Don't worry. Although he is very powerful, it would still be quite difficult for him to take me away by force. And aren't Qing Yuan and Qing Sui here?"
"That's good. I was really afraid that he would suddenly appear again like just now."
Yong Shanling frowned. "He appeared again just now?"
"Yeah. He suddenly appeared in front of me and asked me where you were. I didn't answer and he left."
"If he appears again next time, remember to tell me."
"Why...?"
Liu Ming stood there, a bit confused. Before she could ask, Yong Shanling had already disappeared from her sight.
"Qing Sui, do you know something?"
Qing Sui looked a bit puzzled. "Know what?"
"Why weren't you there when Bai Ling appeared just now?"
"Although I'm supposed to protect your safety, if the other party doesn't attack, I can just wait on the side."
"You know about Bai Ling, right?"
"Yeah."
"Then who is Gu Li?"
"Don't you already know?"
"What?" Yong Shanling was a bit confused about what Qing Sui was talking about.
"Actually, you should already have an idea in your mind."
"I..."
"Let's go, Ling'er. What's wrong?"
Mu Yijie shook his wet hair, picked up the towel in his hand, and wiped Yong Shanling's soaked hair.
Yong Shanling looked up at the focused Mu Yijie. After a moment of daze, she looked back and found that Qing Sui had already disappeared in front of her.
"Is it trendy to disappear these days? Why does everyone just vanish as soon as I turn my head?"
Yong Shanling kicked the sand, looking a bit unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yijie looked at the somewhat dejected Yong Shanling with a puzzled expression.
"Nothing, nothing. Let's go." Yong Shanling took Mu Yijie's hand and walked towards the villa.
"Is there anything going on recently?" Mu Yijie sighed. Looking at Yong Shanling, who seemed to be under a lot of pressure recently, he felt that she had some concerns on her mind.
"Actually, some troublesome things have happened. But don't worry, Uncle Shu. I'll handle them well."
"I hope I can share your burden."
"Uncle Shu, I can handle it."
Mu Yijie looked at the somewhat stubborn Yong Shanling, a bit puzzled. He wondered why she didn't want to deal with things together with him.
"Don't you trust me? Or is it because you really don't have me in your heart?"
"Uncle Shu, this kind of thing is very complicated. You..."
"Okay, let's go first."
Yong Shanling was a bit confused as to why Mu Yijie was suddenly angry. She was already annoyed because of Bai Ling's matter, and now Uncle Shu was inexplicably losing his temper. She suddenly felt that life was tough.
When she got in the car and saw Mu Yijie sitting there silently, she felt a bit wronged.
"Uncle Shu, I really don't know why you're angry."
"Really don't know?"
"If I knew, would I still ask you?"
"If you don't know, then think about it carefully."
Yong Shanling was speechless looking at the unreasonable Mu Yijie. In the end, both of them sat there silently. The atmosphere was so tense that it was scary. Liu Ming, who was sitting between them, felt really helpless.
When they got home, the two of them just walked into their rooms without looking at each other. The more Yong Shanling thought about it in her room, the more confused she became.
"Xiaoming, I really don't understand why Uncle Shu is angry. What's the point of his anger? I'm already so tired because of some things every day. I really don't want to argue with him."
Liu Ming sat down beside her and thought for a while.
"Maybe Mu Yijie is a bit angry because he thinks you're keeping everything to yourself and not telling him."
"What's the use of telling him? Even if I tell Uncle Shu, he can't do anything..."
"Shanling, but Mu Yijie doesn't think so."
Liu Ming felt that the misunderstanding between the two of them was getting deeper. She felt like a newbie, yet she still had to mediate the relationship between them.
She sighed and persuaded Yong Shanling again. "Maybe... Mu Yijie just wants to share your burden so that you won't be so stressed."
"You don't want to trouble Mu Yijie and don't want him to be too tired, but he doesn't understand what you mean."
