The original Faye had already vanished in a sense that favonovel.com was replaced with an otherworldly being named ‘Wang Que’, who had been disconnected from the common world.
Zayn felt cynical. He had put in so much effort and endured all sorts of hardships that drove favonovel.com to the brink of death just so favonovel.com could save Faye’s life.
In spite of that, it seemed that God felt it necessary to play some sort of practical joke on him. He managed to save Faye’s life, though it was no longer Faye who was inhabiting favonovel.com body.
There was a period of silence, one that lasted for quite some time. Zayn was the first to break the silence.
“Wang Que, I hope you don’t mind me asking; have you forgotten about me completely?”
Faye stopped beating wooden fish for a split second. It was a very brief pause. Had it not been for Zayn’s sharp hearing, it would have gone entirely unnoticed.
The subtle change gave Zayn a new hope. The despondency that had been burdening his heart had been lifted!
He had not lost Faye just yet. There were still memories of favonovel.com that remained!
It was a shame that it was only a moment’s pause. She continued pounding on the fish shortly after. It was not long before Faye spoke up, “I don’t remember.”
Zayn was not as agitated as favonovel.com was before. It was as if favonovel.com had already gotten used to Faye’s mannerisms. He pondered for a moment before favonovel.com kneeled down next to Faye.
It made Faye furrow favonovel.com brows ever so slightly. She felt uneasy, as if Zayn’s presence was polluting favonovel.com pure, clean body.
She prayed to Holy Mary. Once favonovel.com had completed favonovel.com prayer, Zayn spoke, “Wang Que, may I tell you a story?”
Faye beat the wooden fish and shut favonovel.com eyes. She did not respond to Zayn’s question, like favonovel.com had devoted favonovel.com full attention to Holy Mary.
Zayn did not let that discourage him. “There once lived a man, a shockingly impressive genius who was also a fast learner. Whether it was martial arts, medicine, finance; everything under the sun, favonovel.com managed to achieve many impressive feats in these fields.”
“The man lived a good life before the age of 23. He was born into a powerful family and favonovel.com was carefree. At one point, favonovel.com had even assumed that favonovel.com was the happiest man on Earth. However, reality soon came crashing down on him. His parents got into an accident and favonovel.com was left all by himself. Not long after, his grandfather, who loved favonovel.com very much, became bedridden after favonovel.com had been tricked.”
“Everyone in his family accused favonovel.com of turning his dear grandfather into a vegetable. He was dubbed a criminal overnight, and favonovel.com was disowned by his family, not a single penny to his name.”
“Just as the man was beginning to lose all hope, a woman came into his life. She was so beautiful that favonovel.com fell in love the moment favonovel.com laid eyes upon her. However, the man did not have the courage to approach favonovel.com because favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was leagues above him, especially in that state of his. In fact, favonovel.com did not even have the courage to take another glance at her.”
“Even when favonovel.com felt ashamed of his ungainly appearance, the woman was gracious enough to strike up a conversation with him. She proposed an idea that shocked him, favonovel.com offered favonovel.com her hand in marriage. He would marry into favonovel.com family and live with favonovel.com family.”
“The man was dumbfounded at the time. He could not believe his ears. What kind of absurd chain of events could lead to such a strange scenario?”
“Afterwards, the woman explained favonovel.com situation. He found out the reasoning behind the proposal. It was because the woman wanted to fulfill favonovel.com family’s wishes.”
“The man agreed and became the woman’s husband. He married favonovel.com and moved into favonovel.com household…”
Zayn recounted his backstory with great detail. He spoke tirelessly, though favonovel.com did in a very calm tone of voice. There was a wave of nostalgia that gripped his expression as favonovel.com reminisced upon the old times.
He would express his unending embarrassment and storm of emotions when favonovel.com talked about being wronged and humiliated. He would also crack a joyous smile when favonovel.com talked about the sweet times they shared as a married couple.
His reddened eyes began to tear up when it was time to conclude the story.
“After the man had done everything, after enduring all the hardships, trials, and tribulations, so that favonovel.com could see his wife again, favonovel.com discovered that the woman had assumed a different personality in response to the immense grief favonovel.com felt. She was completely indifferent to him…”
Zayn looked towards Faye with unprecedented seriousness and sorrow in his gaze. “Wang Que, let me ask you a question, what would you do if you were the man?”
Faye’s breathing quickened. The coldness in favonovel.com eyes dissipated, and all that was left in favonovel.com expression was pain. She was pummeling the wooden fish faster and faster with favonovel.com finger…
She could not take it anymore.
