When Ye Lisa woke up, along with the log, she has drifted atop the river bank. The river water was gently passing by, under the shadows of the sunset peaceful and tranquil, as though as the massive flood and rapid waters was nothing but a mere dream.
However, the surrounding mess, and smell in the air has broken the peace and tranquil.
Ye Lisa raised her head up with much effort, wanting to look around her. With the sun across the river slowly getting swallowed by the earth, dyeing the horizon a bloody red colour.
That bright colour is too harsh on the eyes, until her eyes turned moist, and heart in pain. The red is slowly being covered by a shadow. A person, in full white, and long torso, and face blurred by the back light shining upon him, and was only left with a pair of bright eyes looking at her. Due to the overly bright sun earlier, Ye Lisa's eyes were still blurrish, and in the midst she can't help but think that it was him.
"Ji Jungkook...." she can't help but called out, however her body was still weak, hence it sounded more like a murmur.
He crouched down and helps Ye Lisa to tidy her messy hair, and cleans her muddy face. In a gentle voice, he calls out "Brother Zhen, do you still recognize me?"
Ye Lisa closes her eyes shut, trying her best to stop her tears, "How can I not know you, Li You". The person Ji Jungkook wanted so much to capture.
Ji Li You, helped to release her from the log and carried her up, "let's go, let me first bring you to rest"
Ye Lisa nodded. She didn't reject him. Ji Li You, already knows who she is, he definitely is well prepared, and are not here out of coincidence. Even if she rejects his offer, it might not be of use. She can only act docile and later try to escape.
But, although he knows who she is, he doesn't know that she is already aware of his identity. So she is willing to keep pretending.
In order to act thoroughly, Ye Lisa purposely asks "how come, you are here?"
"I just happened to pass by, and saw you by the riverbank. I initially didn'y think it was you....Brother Zhen ... can i call you Zhen meimei (term used for younger sister)?
"Up to you...."
Pursing his lips for abit, "Zhen meimei..... why are you in such a state, what happened?
Thinking back on how Ji Jungkook was so easily swallowed by the rapid waters, Ye Lisa can't help but let her tears flow down.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, don't cry". He consoles. Seeing how Lisa was crying so badly, he can't help but frown, but it didn't last long.
Ye Lisa rubs of her tears roughly, while sobbing "Li, Li.. You.. Thank you.."
"No need to worry about it"
Ye Lisa looked around and asks "Was the flood nearby fierce?"
Li You explains "It's not, the river was originally here, when the flood met the river, it just joined and went towards the sea"
"Then where is this place?"
"This area belongs to the border of Binhai"
Ye Lisa didn't know where Binhai is, but listening to the name of the place, it sounds not too far from the sea. Though this time, she isn't very sure how far she got washed away. Previously when she was floating in the rapid waters, there was something like a waterfall where she fainted and when she woke up, she has already ended up here.
Due to the large log, she was protected but she still ended up here, she couldn't help but imagine what would have happened to Ji Jungkook, thinking about it makes her heart ache.
