A Lesson (2)

"For five years, I didn't have a life of my own. I had to blunt my edges and abandon my identity as Ghost Charm. I told myself all the time that I was there to play the role of Zhang Ke, a silly little girl named Zhang Ke. Do you know how difficult it is to pretend to be a dimwit? Of course not, you don't respect the work that I do anyway."

Zhang Ke continued speaking in a calm voice. Ling Tianya's room was right there in front of them. She stopped and looked up at Mark. "Are you planning to go in there with me?"

Mark was still savoring what she had just said. She was right about many things. He never considered things from her perspective. He would never have comprehended the struggles that someone like her would have to go through.

For just a moment, he thought about abandoning the task the woman had sent him to do.

But he toughened up after thinking about all the brothers that he had lost and decided to remain steadfast.
