Chi Jiao understood when she saw Bai Wanxi’s surprised expression.

Bai Wanxi died hundreds of years ago.

At that time, there were no modern or high-tech electric lights that could illuminate the area.

“It’s not dawn. It’s electric light. It’s a special lighting tool in this world,” Chi Jiao explained patiently. She approached Bai Wanxi tentatively as if she was dealing with a vigilant wild cat. “My name is Chi Jiao. I’ll help you. Get off the bed. I’ll help you put on your clothes.”

“I… I want a long dress. Why aren’t the people here wearing proper clothes?” Bai Wanxi’s eyes were filled with disdain when she saw that Chi Jiao was also wearing a dress that revealed her calves.

Bai Wanxi’s concept of clothing was rather conservative as someone who had lived hundreds of years ago.

Chi Jiao imagined the tall Xu Ye dancing in a long dress…

She shivered.

Disgusted by her own imagination, she didn’t want to see Xu Ye wearing a dress.

“You should wear long pants instead.” Chi Jiao took out Xu Ye’s original clothes from the closet and put them on Bai Wanxi.

Bai Wanxi still preferred long dresses. She wore Xu Ye’s shirt and pants with a dissatisfied expression.

“Why am I here? I… I want to go home.” Bai Wanxi looked at Chi Jiao as she requested loudly.

“I don’t know why you’re here either, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to go home. You can stay here first. I’ll be responsible for taking care of you.” Chi Jiao smiled at her.

Bai Wanxi looked at her. It was like she was only taking her first good look at her now. She appeared in a slight daze as if she had realized something.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Chi Jiao could feel that she was looking at her with emotion.

“I don’t know why, but I feel like you’re so close to me when I look at you. You’re like my younger sister, Jiao’er. Are you my younger sister? Have we known each other before?” Bai Wanxi walked up to Chi Jiao and reached out to touch her head gently.

Her movements were very gentle and her palm was very warm. Chi Jiao’s heart stirred and she couldn’t help wavering.

She didn’t answer Bai Wanxi’s question because she didn’t know the answer, either.

“Jiao’er, why aren’t you saying anything?” Bai Wanxi looked at her worriedly.

Chi Jiao took a deep breath and suppressed the quiver in her heart. “I don’t know if we know each other.”

“Of course we do. Otherwise, why am I so uncontrollably happy to see you? Jiao’er, I feel like you’re my family. I feel happy when I see you. Why would I care so much about you if we weren’t very close?” Bai Wanxi smiled. “Do you really not know me? But I feel that you’re very familiar. Just looking at you makes my uneasiness disappear.”

“Aren’t you too trusting? Aren’t you afraid that I’m a bad person?” Chi Jiao couldn’t help worrying when she saw how unguarded she was.

Bai Wanxi was so silly. Wouldn’t she be deceived by She Qi if she saw him and found him very familiar?

“Others are others, you are you. Jiao’er, my heart tells me that you won’t harm me,” Bai Wanxi said sincerely.
