The girl on the reflection I was looking at didn't seem as healthy and lively as the one in those images but I was sure it was her as the image that had taken over my mind for a moment was a reflection of her in this bronze mirror.
In fact, as I gave a quick but slow swept through the unfamiliar images in my head, I noticed that the panels where I could see the face of the girl were only through reflections on bronze mirrors, on the surface of water and on any other kind of reflective shiny objects.
The rest of the girl's body was another thing to point out. Aside from being seen through reflections, her body could also be seen in scenes that seemed to be took from a not-so-high point of view—just like when someone looked down to see their own body.
Then… I parted my sight from the bronze mirror and looked down to the small hands that moved as I wanted, I am…
“Ah Ling!”
Stolen novel; please report.
I shivered involuntarily when the emotional call of the woman that had felt familiar to me before cut my line of thinking. I turned my head around as I raised my gaze and I saw her sprinting towards me from this chamber's door with a worried expression. There were also two maids following her from behind but I didn't pay them attention.
My eyes focused on the teary woman and I stood in place as I regarded her properly this time. Though her face looked weary and her eyes were reddish from crying, I could tell that she was in her early twenties, She is so young and she already addresses herself as a mother… I thought before looking at her gaudy outfit; she was still clad in ancient Chinese robes. However, it was a set of yellow and dark green robes trimmed with purple thread and not the white and dark blue one with which I had seen her first.
When she was at five steps from me, I swept away my thoughts and I wanted to step sideways to dodge her as she was still rushing towards me but I couldn't do it for some reason; this body refused to move, and I was caught in a tight embrace before feeling the soles of my feet leaving the floor.
This… My inner self was shaken—I had been lifted up like a little child. This situation was outrageous and I was going to lash out when I felt a warmness encompassing my stiff body that appeased my sprouting wrath, calming myself down.
