Hearing her name, Jiang Mingyue finally snapped out of her trance . She looked at her brother and then to Yang Yun . She lowered her gaze and spoke slowly, "Yang Yun, this is my second brother . Jiang Xiao Tian . Second brother, this is Yang Yun . "
Yang Yun stared at the girl in his arm . Then his gaze shifted to her second brother . Only then did he see the resemblance of that man and Mingyue .
"Aren't you going to let her go now?" Xiao Tian asked . His stared at Yang Yun's hand which was at his sister's waist .
AdvertisementYang Yun slowly loosened his grip around her waist . He stepped forward with the help of the crutch . "I am Yang Yun . I'm sorry I have failed to recognize you earlier . " he leaned his body into a bow .
Jiang Xiao Tian laughed . Then, he went to Yang Yun's side to help him straightened up . "It's fine . Seeing you being protective on Mingyue set my heart at ease . Don't worry too much . "
"Thank you-" Yang Yun hesitated . He was not sure how he should call the man .
"Just call me second brother like Mingyue did," Jiang Xiao Tian said . He turned to look at Mingyue and smiled . "I'm going first . I still have a few things to settle . "
Mingyue only turned to Yang Yun when her brother was out of their sight . She glanced at the crutch supporting his body and frowned . "Why are you here instead of resting?"
"I heard from the others that you and grandfather Han found someone who knew something about the herbs . " Yang Yun said . "Is this true?"
Mingyue nodded slowly . "Second brother found them while he was away for some task . "
"Did you found some clues?" he asked .
Mingyue led him to sit down on a bench nearby . Then, she told him what the old man had said about the herbs . When she finished, Mingyue found Yang Yun looking at her with a mixed expression . She raised her hand and pressed the crease between his eyebrow . "What are you thinking about?"
Yang Yun raised his head and met her gaze . "Do you think the old man is telling the truth?"
"Maybe some of his words are the truth . But Yang Yun, how can a person just disappeared in thin air?" Mingyue shook her head . "It doesn't make sense . "
Yang Yun exhaled a long sigh . His gaze softened as he stared at the girl before him . He reached out to hold both her hand in his . "I don't want anything to happen to you . I don't want you to disappear . "
"Nothing will happen to me," she rubbed his hand with her thumb and smiled to coax him . "I won't disappear . "
His grip on her hand tightened .
