Chapter 1328: An Old Woman Wearing a Human Skin Mask
In the next two days, Xia Yinian and Yuan Yaying started to get busy again, while Ye Shushu comfortably enjoyed her own personal trip.
After a day and a half of busywork, finishing the final trials, the two competing girls directly locked away all the books and materials related to the competition.
When handing the key to Ye Shushu, Xia Yinian and Yuan Yaying both showed a relaxed smile.
"That’s right, take a good half-day rest, and think about tomorrow’s things tomorrow," Ye Shushu accepted the key, furrowing her brow.
Under an outdoor pavilion, a small round table, three sizzling steaks, three hot soups, and some freshly made snacks.
"The steaks here are good, you should all try them," Ye Shushu picked up her knife and fork, elegantly cutting the steak.
Xia Yinian and Yuan Yaying also unceremoniously picked up their knives; in the icy and snowy place, eating a hot steak was such an enjoyment.
While the three of them were enjoying their lunch, an elderly person not far away caught Xia Yinian’s attention.
The elderly person sat alone there sipping tea, seemingly nothing special, but Xia Yinian could tell she was wearing a human skin mask.
Although most of her face was covered by a scarf, hat, and hair, Xia Yinian was still quite certain this wasn’t her real face.
The old woman wore gloves, her movements were a bit slow, yet elegant.
Xia Yinian noticed her because she always felt someone was watching her.
Later, she realized this strange gaze all came from the same person.
Xia Yinian considered that she did not know this woman, but still gave her a smile like greeting a stranger.
Continuing to eat her steak, she discovered the old woman was still looking at her, meanwhile, she found something very strange.
Xia Yinian increasingly felt the old woman’s eyes were quite familiar, as if she’d seen them somewhere before.
Suddenly a handsome face appeared in her mind, Xia Yinian was unconsciously startled by her own thoughts.
She withdrew her gaze and took several deep breaths, trying to sort out her emotions.
Impossible, how could it be? Was she thinking of Beicheng too much? She actually thought the old woman’s eyes resembled Gu Beicheng’s very much.
Not just the image, even that kind of feeling, she found them very similar.
"Nian Nian, what’s wrong? It’s not good?" Ye Shushu looked at her, frowning.
"It’s good," Xia Yinian sighed a breath, "just a bit hot."
Raising her eyes to look over there again, she couldn’t find the figure anymore.
She searched around but still couldn’t find the old woman’s presence.
Yet, in such a short time, where could an old person have gone?
Recalling her gaze and thinking of her slightly stooped back, Xia Yinian suddenly felt a bit eerie.
However, she didn’t believe that such a thing exists in this world; the old woman must have existed, she just left.
But, why was she always looking at her? And were her eyes really that similar to Beicheng’s?
Suddenly losing sight of the old woman’s figure, Xia Yinian was now also uncertain whether she really had a pair of eyes similar to Gu Beicheng.
If possible, she hoped to see this elderly one more time.
But with a sea of people, meeting again should be very difficult, right?
An old woman wearing a human skin mask, watching her just now, and walking very fast.
Xia Yinian always felt something was wrong, yet couldn’t put it into words.
