Chapter 914: A Familiar Stranger (8）
Zhang Ke threw the rope to one side and went to pick up the plate. She placed it on a chest of drawers that was closest to the head of Ling Tianya’s bed.
“Teacher, you sure are intelligent. I knew that nothing would get past you.” Zhang Ke picked up a spoon and handed it to Ling Tianya. “You’re probably hungry. Eat some food.”
Ling Tianya looked at the smooth wooden spoon coldly. “Don’t address me as teacher. I’m not your teacher.”
Zhang Ke’s face was one of shock. Then, she continued, “Don’t say that. I’ve referred to you as teacher for such a long time. As long as you are willing, you are still my teacher.”
Ling Tianya laughed coldly. “My assistant is Zhang Ke, and you are not Zhang Ke.”
Zhang Ke blinked. “I am Zhang Ke.”
“Since it’s already come to this, you no longer have to beat around the bush with me, nor do you have to continue to disguise yourself. Tell me your real name.”
The estrangement and indifference on Ling Tianya’s face struck a thorn in Zhang Ke’s heart. In the end, she said in a heavy voice, “You’re right. Zhang Ke isn’t my name. That was simply a fake identity I used to stay beside you. I don’t have a name, only a code name.”
Zhang Ke hesitated as if she was making up her mind. If she told Ling Tianya that name, then she would definitely be saying goodbye to her identity as Zhang Ke.
“My code name is Gui Mei.” After she finished speaking, she eagerly lifted her head. “However, as long as you are willing, you can still call me Zhang Ke.”
Zhang Ke placed the wooden spoon back on the plate. “You should eat something so that you don’t starve.”
Ling Tianya lifted her head and looked at Zhang Ke as if she was looking at a familiar stranger. This was incredibly frustrating for Ling Tianya. Suddenly, she laughed a helpless laugh. “So this is what it feels like to be betrayed by someone you trust. It feels horrible.”
Ling Tianya lowered her head. “Shouldn’t you explain it to me?”
Zhang Ke also laughed as if she no longer wanted to continue pretending. She spread out her arms as she sat on a recliner sofa across the bed. The eagerness and care that were originally in her gaze had disappeared and were replaced by a weird look.
“I knew it. It is useless no matter how much I act in front of you now. Your heart will not soften for me.” Zhang Ke mockingly smiled. “However, I stubbornly still wanted to give it a try.”
Ling Tianya didn’t say anything as she looked at the rope Zhang Ke had thrown to the corner.
Zhang Ke sat there, one leg crossed over the other. “What do you want me to explain? There are some things that the leader forbids us to tell you, such as his identity and the location of this place.”
Ling Tianya suddenly lifted her head and looked at her. “I only want to know who you are! What was your purpose in staying near me over the years?”
Without a doubt, over the years, Zhang Ke had helped Ling Tianya with many things. Besides kidnapping her this time around, Zhang Ke had never done anything that was disadvantageous to Ling Tianya, so what was her true motive for staying beside her?
“Do you want to know?” Zhang Ke smiled sinisterly. “If you know, then you will hate me even more. Therefore, I am hesitant as to whether or not I should tell you. After all, in my heart, you are still my teacher. I don’t want you to despise me even more, or else I would be even more hurt.”
The room was enveloped in silence. Ling Tianya did not say anything and simply looked at Zhang Ke.
In the end, Zhang Ke faintly took a deep breath. “Teacher, do you know how distracting your gaze is? Your eyes are beautiful, and your gaze unbending and able to penetrate into the hearts of people. You have something that is rare and precious and hard to deal with.”
