Chapter 73: Second Meeting as Jun Hua
73 Second Meeting as Jun Hua
"That song is really good. Are you sure that she's one of the worst?" Yan looks towards Ming Hui.
Ming Hui lips curled up. "She had been practicing a lot. And yes, that's true."
"Have you told her about it?" Soujin asks.
"Not yet."
"You better do," Soujin said. "Don't keep that secret from her."
"Later I will, but not now."
As the next students come up, Jun Hua excused herself. She told Fan Lanying that she wanted to go to the toilet.
"Don't take too long."
"Don't worry."
But as Jun Hua walks outside, she realizes that she's not alone. She cannot possibly called Yamin right now so she turned around and looks towards the guest, Soujin.
"Your play is not bad, little girl. From the rumor, you seems a lot worse," Soujin looks towards the calm eyes on Jun Hua little face. Normally the girl he encounters will not stay calm in front of him. He wondered, is this girl different because of her background?
Jun Hua eyed Soujin and sighed internally. What had she done to capture his attention? All she did is doing her best in the test (despite the result like that) and didn't do anything to make his attention turn towards her. Even during her time as Jun Min, she rarely mentioned Jun Hua. This man is truly annoying.
"The rumors are not always true," Jun Hua answered.
"Is it?" Soujin eyes watched Jun Hua and his lips curled up. This little lass is truly similar with Jun Min. How can they be similar when the two of them come from different place. "You sure have similar face with your brother. Are you truly not related?"
Here comes the question. Jun Hua had been hoping for him to ignore the matter and let it pass, but it seems like it's impossible. He had noticed it and hoping to find out the true cause for it. Jun Hua wouldn't let him know that they are the same person, though. There are things which she cannot tell him.
"With your ability, can't you investigate it yourself?" Jun Hua challenged.
Soujin raised his eyebrows. He had done his investigation and found that Jun Hua and Jun Min are two different people in two villages. Although the distance of the two is not far, to travel between both of them still requires an hour to two. They have probably met when they're kids, but the story is vague. What he manages to find out is that each of them had never leaves their villages except going to the forest to play sometime.
The villagers there no longer remember about the time they appeared or all. What they remember is Jun Min is only a poor boy while Jun Hua is a good little lady who tried to help her mother. The clues stop there and there are no one who knows for sure when Jun Min started to appear. Since the country often engaged in war, they just thought Jun Min is one of the orphan because of war.
Soujin himself never asks Jun Min about his background and the boy too never told him. He doesn't usually pry into other people background, but seeing Jun Hua today, he feels like he wants to know. Both of them are truly an interesting kid.
"I have done my investigation. Don't you ever want to know about your brother background?" Soujin decide to ask again.
Jun Hua raised her small head. Why would she want to know? She already knows it all. "I don't. He's my brother and that's it."
Seeing the confidence in Jun Hua face, Soujin decide to stop asking. There is nothing he could get from the little girl in front of him. She doesn't seem afraid facing him despite him being a general and she's only a little girl. Probably, interacting with Jun Min had boosted her confidence.
"You should be wary more, little girl. I'm a man after all," Soujin lips curled up.
Jun Hua stared in disbelief. She knows that you're man, but so what? After interacting with you for a couple of months, she knows that he hardly has any interest towards a girl. She doesn't know the reason, probably just hadn't found someone who suits him, but she would never believe it this man suddenly show interest towards her. She is pretty, but he's not one to be moved by it.
"But you're a gentleman, are you not?"
"You should be wary, not everyone is like me," Soujin said once again before returning back to the hall. Jun Hua stands in her place looking annoyed.
'Just what do you want from coming outside and bothering me? That man is truly hard to guess.'
Jun Hua quickly forgets about him and told Yamin to get inside. Yamin had been dressed as Jun Hua and she has been waiting in the carriage. Upon hearing her Miss order, Yamin goes inside and sit beside Fan Lanying while watching the performance.
On the other hand, Jun Hua changed in her carriages and dress up as Jun Min as quickly as possible. She had prepared everything before hand and in a matter of minutes, she has finished. Using her martial arts, she goes outside from the carriages to the forest and started to walk from there.
Soujin, who had returned back, stopped his action of drinking wine.
"What is it?" Yan asked. His friend is truly weird today. First he disappears without notice and now he stopped drinking in the middle of taking his glass.
"Jun Min has come," Soujin answered.
"How do you even know…?"
Before Yan words finished, he looks at the main entrance where a young man walked inside calmly. The surrounding girls started to shriek or whispering among each other. The scene is highly similar to when Soujin entered.
Jun Hua noticed Soujin and all, but before that, he walks to Fan Lanying and 'Jun Hua' side.
"Good work," she smiled towards 'Jun Hua' who lowered her head and Fan Lanying greeted her. She greets back before joining the group of Soujin and the others.
Her coming has greatly disrupted the atmosphere as many people start to look at her. The boys are still looking with envy while the girls are full of admiration. But they cannot possibly looks at her the whole time and finally returned their attention back to the students who did the performances.
"Why are you looking at Soujin like that?" Jun Hua noticed Yan eyes looking at Soujin weirdly.
"This guy could even notice that you have come from far away," Yan answered. With his own skill, he could only notice a person when that person has come quite close with him so what Soujin did is truly unbelievable.
Jun Hua raised her eyebrows. "Isn't it normal? As long as the other party didn't intentionally conceal his presence, you can detect it."
Yan forgot. The two people in front of him are monster.
