It was the first time that evening that Guiying, the alter personality in Guiying who had been protecting her for a long time now, had shed tears.
You did your very best.
I am so, so proud of you.
His voice felt like a warm, gentle tide of the ocean, but it rang a loud resonance inside her heart that shook her from within. There was no reason to believe that Zixin was talking to her. He was in the dark about her existence. It should have been Guiying. The Cai Guiying everybody knew as CherryBlossom.
But for the first time, she felt that he was talking directly to her. She suddenly felt exposed but more than that, she couldnt explain why a tear slipped past her cheek.
It was a short call. Zixin said a simple thank you. But it reached the deepest part of her heart because it was the first time that she felt recognized.
She felt that her existence was recognized. She felt praised for who she was and what she did. She had been silently protecting Guiying for all these years as a shadow who only bared her fangs whenever Guiying was in danger.
But her existence was never known to the world.
It wasnt normal for somebody to have two personalities living within them. She never talked to people like Guiying did. She never enjoyed her life like other people did because she was aware of what her existence was.
It was temporary. She was born to protect her until the time someone else more capable, more loving and more caring will step into Guiyings life and fill in her shoes.
When that day would come, she knew she would fade away. She would cease to exist.
Thats why when Zixin appreciated her, she let herself live in that moment as just the identity of who she was. She basked in that moment of recognition and joy that somebody acknowledged how hard it was to live a life like Guiying and she did.
She wasnt sure why her train of thoughts led her in that direction.
Did Zixin know about her?
His words sounded cryptic, and the meaning behind his gratitude was a mystery.
But Guiying felt like a person of her own for the very first time.
And as she peered into Zixins eyes at this moment, it dawned upon her that her suspicions were right.
Zixin knew. It was why something felt odd when he spoke. She wasnt sure how she felt about this.
Why would you meet him again? She asked with a tinge of iciness in her voice.
He paused, wondering if he should mention his conversation with Ai where she revealed about Guiyings split personality. But he felt that it was something that Ai should speak to Guiying herself.
I came to know that Cai Lingyun was planning to cause some trouble for you. I was keeping an eye on him after he was violent to you and then was released from jail.
A long silence ensued.
And? Guiying chuckled. What did he say? He must have praised me so much. A crazy woman. A mentally retarted woman turning violent all of a sudden. An abnormal woman with somebody else living inside her, she laughed. What did Cai Lingyun have to say?
I dont know, Zixin replied. It never got that far because by then, I made it sure he wasnt in the position to spout nonsense.
She stiffened.

What did you do with him?
Rest assured. He is at a place from where he wouldnt be able to appear in front of your sight ever again, a chill echoed in his voice at the end of his sentence.
Hearing that, Guiying felt uneasy but those emotions didnt belong to hers. Instead, it was the real Guiying who couldnt help but feel concerned for her brother.
That added to her frustration which she vented out on Zixin. Thats great. I dont care what happens to that fucker. But the question is what do you want from me? Fine. You know about me. So what?
She sneered. Go ahead if you want to make fun of me or that idiot inside me. I must be looking like a clown to you, dont I?
Zixin shook his head. Of course not.
Then why did you call me here!?
Guiying breathed out a little restlessly. She couldnt understand what she was afraid and anxious of and for the first time, she felt like running away from him rather than having a confrontation.
I have some things to say to you.
She narrowed her eyes.
First was what I already said on the phone that evening. I have thanked you, but it was important to express my gratitude in person. So
He bowed his head and said, Thank you for protecting Guiying all this time. I never imagined that you would have such a difficult childhood. But you fought with all the strength you had. I sincerely appreciate you from the bottom of my heart.
Guiying was once again frustrated but not because she was furious at Zixin. She felt she was unable to hide the overwhelming sense of emotions gushing within her heart.
Feeling acknowledged meant the world to her. Even more so when a man like Chen Zixin was bowing his head in front of her.
You dont have to do this.
I do, Zixin firmly said. You deserve all the respect in this world which Cai Lingyun failed to give you. Whether its Guiying or you, the only thing you deserve the most is love and nothing else.
She clenched the hem of her dress, her vision getting blurry.
Zixin met her gaze once again. That was the first and utmost important feeling I wanted to express. The second thing. When I heard about you, I realized a grave error I made in my behavior.
Guiying frowned.
What mistake is he talking about?
Zixin solemnly said, That day at your home, I asked if I could be your friend.
So?
At that time, I wasnt aware of you. I asked that question to Guiying. But now that I know, its only natural that I ask you too. Can I be your friend?
