Yi Xi’s main purpose should be to rob Lu Ning’s lifespan card, but why did she choose Lu Ning?
Lu Ning wasn’t very sure. She said it should be that Yi Xi saw her card before, but she put it away quickly at that time, so probably Yi Xi didn’t see it clearly.
But after this reset, Yi Xi planned to snatch Lu Ning’s card for the first time. Apparently, some kind of chance had made her find something special about Lu Ning’s card.
Something so important was robbed.
Lu Ning didn’t think about how to take it back, instead, she was thinking about the world reset.
Ming Shu didn’t know whether she had a big heart or was really a fool.
Yi Xi must have gone back to West District with the others at this time. Ming Shu planned to take Lu Ning and catch up with her.
But before they left East District, Ye Ji drove over from the West District’s direction.
He rolled down the window. “Darling, may I have the honor to give you a ride?”
As the car window rolled down, Ming Shu saw Yi Xi thrown in the back.
Ming Shu: “…”
Lu Ning: “…”
Ye Ji stood there lazily and didn’t look like he’d just kidnapped a person at all.
…
Yi Xi stood outside and watched Ming Shu and Yi Xi talk to each other.
Who was he…
Those things she said…
There were more and more fragmented memories gathering in Ye Ji’s mind, numerous and disorderly, crowded in his brain.
Some of the images seemed familiar, but if he gave it a second thought, he just couldn’t remember anything.
A thread was missing to connect all the pieces.
But as for where it was, he did not know.
Ye Ji took a deep breath and dispeled the annoyance in his heart.
Ming Shu got outside. Yi Xi had been taken away and only Lu Ning was sitting inside.
“What are you thinking?” Ming Shu put her arms around his waist from behind and walked to his side.
“I’m thinking of you, darling,” Ye Ji answered naturally.
Ming Shu took two desserts and put them into her mouth. “Why are you so sweet?”
Ye Ji leaned closer to Ming Shu’s ear. “Do you want to have a taste?”
“In broad daylight!” Ming Shu lectured him with righteous attitude. “Mind your behavior!”
Ye Ji looked around. “There’s no one else here.”
He kissed Ming Shu’s earlobe, turned her face, and bit her lips, kissing her softly for a moment.
“You are sweeter than me, darling.”
Ming Shu replied disdainfully, “Aren’t you talking nonsense, I’m your sweetheart, of course I’m sweet.”
Ye Ji: “…”
I can’t continue the conversation!
But Ye Ji thought he shouldn’t give up easily. “I also want to be your sweetheart, darling.”
I am also edible!
And I smell good and tasty!
Ming Shu glanced at him a little weirdly. “I may give it a second thought if it were before the reset, but now… I don’t think I have any desire for you.”
Ye Ji: “???”
Ye Ji reacted for a long time. “I’m a grown-up now.”
Ming Shu smiled evilly. “But I’m not.”
Ye Ji: “…”
Ye Ji took several deep breaths and held back his impulse to beat her up.
He changed the subject sanely. “Did the woman say anything?”
“I’d rather ask, why did you want to catch her?”
Ye Ji answered calmly, “Didn’t she go against you earlier? I happened to run across her so I brought her here.”
Of course he didn’t happen to meet her. He specially went to catch her.
Little Beastie reminded him of some sneaky guy. Though it was also very strange that he could understand Little Beastie by its disdainful eyes…
Ming Shu gave him a look and didn’t ask further. “I heard that she grabbed Lu Ning’s lifespan card because some people in your Ye family can change the names of lifespan cards.”
Ye Ji didn’t know much about the Ye family’s affairs.
“Is that so?”
“Yes, the world is big and home to all kinds of wonderful things.”
“But no matter how big the world is, there’s only one of you.”
“…”
Can we have a proper conversation?!
Did I ask you to make a love confession?
Did I?!
Yi Xi didn’t have much lifespan left, and just like Ye Ji, she couldn’t rob others of their life.
But differently, she came to this end because of plundering beyond maximum lifespan.
When the world reset, she thought of many things, including Lu Ning’s card.
The previously blurred picture suddenly became clear at that moment.
So when she learned that someone in the Ye family could change other people’s lifespan cards, she came up with the idea of robbing Lu Ning.
Originally, she just wanted to grab the life card from Lu Ning, but thinking of Lu Ning made her think of Ming Shu, and thinking of Ming Shu just ignited the fiery anger in her heart.
So she changed the lifespan card slightly.
In case of an unexpected situation, she arranged some people on Ye Ji’s side.
Also, she didn’t really want to kill Lu Ning. After all, if Lu Ning died, her card would be useless.
But what Ming Shu did was so outside of her expectation, she could think of nothing else.
Ming Shu couldn’t kill Yi Xi as her Hatred Points hadn’t been arrived at full capacity.
In the end, Ming Shu chose to give her a beating and threw her out, letting her run her own course.
Lu Ning took back her card, but didn’t dare to go home after something like that happened.
She wanted to have a try. If the secret of the world reset was really what she imagined…
…
At nightfall…
The dark blue sky was dotted with stars, and the whole East District was shrouded in darkness.
However, in the sky above East District, there appeared a whirlpool-shaped distortion, and all the surrounding stars seemed as if they were going to be sucked in.
It only lasted for three seconds.
Then the whirlpool disappeared.
Ye Ji woke up without warning and looked in the direction of the window with a somewhat vacant expression.
After a moment, Ye Ji closed his eyes, but no matter what he just could not fall asleep.
“Ye Ji? What are you doing?”
As Ye Ji tossed and turned beside her, Ming Shu was also awakened. She put her hand on Ye Ji and pulled him to her side.
“It’s late in the night, what are you doing? Turning over the pancake?”
“Darling, do you want to have a bite?” The tip of Ye Ji’s nose came against the tip of Ming Shu’s, and their lips were close together.
Ming Shu licked with the tip of her tongue and bit his lips lightly. “You can’t fall asleep?”
“No…”
“Okay, I’ll sleep then…”
“Darling!” This is different from what I was thinking!
Ming Shu: “…”
You’re not sleepy, but I am!
Ye Ji hugged her and kissed her over and over again. He became even more excited. Ming Shu looked at him and felt both humurous and angry.
Ming Shu moved her palm down to his belly, sliding to the edge of his underwear.
Ye Ji’s breathing stopped instantly.
“Darling?”
Ye Ji grabbed Ming Shu’s wrist, feeling the slight touch on his waist.
Ming Shu lifted her head and kissed him. Taking advantage of his lack of attention, she broke free from his grasp and slowly moved her fingers downward.
The tiny sound was muffled in his throat, sounding more like a whimper and then finally becoming a gasp.
Finally, Ming Shu withdrew her hand and got out of bed, going into the bathroom.
Ye Ji’s slightly opened his misty eyes, but the most everything was blurred and foggy. His lips were slightly open and looked purplish because of the ravaging, and his body seemed to be absorbed in an extremely comfortable feeling.
Ming Shu threw a warm towel to him. “If you do it again, get out and sleep outside.”
Ye Ji took the towel and cleaned up himself, not feeling shy now.
As soon as Ming Shu lay back on the bed, he immediately got closer to her. His pajamas had been removed just now, so he was now almost naked against her.
“Darling, can I ask you to help me every night?”
“…Do you want to die young?” Every night! Are your kidneys as hard as diamonds?
“I’d love to die with you, darling.”
“Who wants to die with you? Stay away from me.”
“Darling…”
“Ye Ji!”
“Ahh? It moved by itself, it’s none of my business. Darling, don’t beat me, I was wrong…”
“Get out!”
