Yu Chunmiao began to probe gently.
"Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Qi Chong seemed to realize something, his body stiffening for a moment. "Not afraid."
"Do you think there is another world?"
Qi Chong remained silent for a long time before replying, "I don't know. Maybe there is."
He actually wanted to ask Yu Chunmiao if she came from another world, and whether she would have to return one day. He didn't dare to ask, fearing the answer would be yes.
Yu Chunmiao still lacked the courage to reveal her secret all at once, but continuing to hide it was suffocating for both of them. After much contemplation, she said, "If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask. I will answer truthfully without hiding anything."
Qi Chong's heart raced. He pulled her into his embrace and said with a hint of tears in his voice, "I won't ask; I don't want to know. As long as you don't fly away, it doesn't matter if you're human, ghost, or fairy."
Yu Chunmiao finally understood where his humility stemmed from; he had always believed he would leave one day. Deep guilt compelled her to resolve to tell him the truth.
"I am not a ghost, nor am I any kind of fairy, and I certainly can't fly. You really don’t want to ask? Why have I suddenly become sensible? I can read; I know that Zao Hui Shui can solidify. I can recite poetry; if I remember it well, I'll recite it all; if not, just a couple of lines."
In the darkness, Qi Chong couldn't see her expression but sensed she was preparing to confess.
"I want to know; go ahead and tell me." Qi Chong got off the bed and lit the oil lamp.
Yu Chunmiao held onto Qi Chong's hand tightly as if afraid he would let go at any moment.
This was a gamble; she was betting that Qi Chong loved her and that the union of two pitiful Yu Chunmiaos could bring about good fortune.
"I come from another world; I don’t know why I ended up here. I was originally an equestrian."
As they sat facing each other, Yu Chunmiao spoke more and more, gripping Qi Chong's hand tighter. She lowered her head as she spoke, not daring to look at him.
"So both Yu Chunmiaos died and yet both came back to life—my body, my soul."
Qi Chong fell silent, which made Yu Chunmiao uneasy. She felt like a monster in front of him; his silence made her wonder if he was scared of what she had said. "I can handle it if you are."
"I'm not afraid; you can't be," Qi Chong replied as he held her hand firmly in return. "It's just that my mind is struggling to keep up."
Yu Chunmiao looked up at him, her gaze as gentle and full of affection as ever.
"Have you figured it out?"
Qi Chongtu smiled, the happiest smile Yu Chunmiao had ever seen from him since they met. Normally, his smiles were brief and shallow, but this time he laughed while lying on the bed, his throat trembling as he let out soft chuckles, his body rolling back and forth.
In the haze of confusion, Yu Chunmiao worried that he might not be able to handle it and had gone a little mad. After laughing for a long time, Qi Chong suddenly sat up, the smile fading from his face as he stared intently at her.
Yu Chunmiao suddenly thought of the phrase about sitting up in shock from a dying illness, her heart racing and palms sweating.
"Hey, say something! You're scaring me," she said, spreading her hands to show him. "Look, my palms are all sweaty."
Qi Chong took her hand and kissed it fiercely. "You are a fairy; you won't fly away."
The fairy was scared now. "If you want me, just say it clearly."
