Ye Ji really woke up. The doctors of the Ye family gathered around the bed and examined him.
When the man and Ming Shu appeared, Ye Ji looked up.
There was a smile on his face.
âYoung Master...â
Ye Ji pushed the people around him and ran to the door.
The manâs eyes turned soft. âLittle Ji...â
He opened his arms. However, Ye Ji ran passed him and hugged the person beside him.
Ming Shu was hugged by Ye Ji.
He leaned close to Ming Shuâs ear and said, âDarling, I knew that you would come and look for me.â
The man: â...â
Everyone looked at the man. The man placed his hands behind his back awkwardly.
Since Ye Ji remembered this girl, it meant that he managed to keep his memory.
He wondered... if Ye Ji remembered what happened before the car accident.
His son...
Father Ye sighed.
Ye Jiâs body was still weak. He needed to go through a round of examination first.
When he was getting examined, he continued holding Ming Shu. The doctor couldnât do anything about it so he just carried on with his examination.
Father Ye was calmer. He was used to this scene.
After the doctor went out, Father Ye came in again. He asked hopefully, âLittle Ji, do you remember anything?â
Ye Ji looked at Father Ye. Then, he looked at Ming Shu. He knew who this man was. When he woke up last time, he was in the same room.
He couldnât remember anything, but this man said that he was his father.
Ye Ji didnât speak for a while.
He didnât feel that he had any close relationship with this person.
He used his weak body as an excuse and leaned against Ming Shu.
Father Ye was disappointed.
However, there was nothing he could do. âBring Young Master to his room and let him rest. Miss Jiang Xue, if you are willing, you can stay here.â
âI want to take him away from this place,â Ming Shu said directly. âHe was not awake just now so I didnât mention this to you.â
Father Yeâs gaze turned sharp. âMiss Jiang Xue, am I too kind to you? What makes you think that you can take Little Ji away?â
Ming Shu replied, âLet him make his own decision.â
Father Ye felt his stomach hurting. The way his son looked at Ming Shu and his posture...
âI choose my darling.â
This time, Father Yeâs heart hurt.
...
Since it was already late, Ming Shu spent the night at the Ye family.
The servants cleared a room for them.
Ming Shu stayed in the guest room. Before she could look around her room, Ye Ji snuck in.
He grabbed Ming Shu and smiled naughtily. However, his gaze was serious. âDarling, long time no see. I missed you. Kiss?â
Ming Shu replied, âIf you really count the time, we were only separated for a few hours.â
Ye Ji said naturally, âIt felt like a few years.â
What is wrong with kissing my wife!
I want to kiss her!
Ye Ji kissed her cheeks and moved down. Soon, he found her lips. He kissed her passionately.
Suddenly, Ye Ji stumbled. If Ming Shu hadnât reacted quickly and caught him, he might have fallen to the ground.
âI feel a little dizzy...â Ye Ji was frustrated. His body was really not good. He looked at Ming Shu.â Darling, why donât you kiss me?â
Ming Shu: â...â
Ming Shu threw him back to his room and asked the servant to find the doctor.
The doctor reminded him to take it easy. He just woke up.
Ye Ji was unconvinced. His body was healthy!
He just had a kiss. Why did they say that he was weak?
Lousy doctor!
The doctor noticed that Young Master Ye seemed angry so he quickly rushed out of the room after he finished his inspection.
Ming Shu sat beside him. Ye Ji looked at her with anticipation.
Ming Shu reached out her hand. âGive me your card.â
â... Oh.â
Ye Ji found his card and passed it to Ming Shu.
Name: Ye Ji
Remaining lifespan: 294 days
Highest age: 73 years old
Ming Shu frowned. This time... why wasnât it reset?
Ming Shu asked him. âCan that person be trusted?â
Ye Ji squeezed Ming Shuâs fingers and said unhappily, âWho?â
âYour father.â
Ye Ji said nonchalantly, âI think so. He treats me well. However, Iâm not close to him. I donât know why. I just want to be close to you.â
Ye Ji started teasing Ming Shu toward the end.
After Ye Ji fell asleep, Ming Shu went to look for Father Ye.
Father Ye sat in the study alone. Only one lamp was lit so the room was dark. She couldnât see his face.
âMiss Jiang Xue, do you still need anything from me in the middle of the night?â His son chose her already. Was she trying to flaunt in front of him!
âIâm just curious why you didnât ask about my identity.â
She was a stranger... okay, she was famous in her past life so she was not entirely a stranger. However, he should still find it odd that she came to look for him, right?
Father Ye pinched his nose. âI knew about your relationship with Ye Ji long ago. Do you need the details?â
He didnât know where Ye Ji went to after he left. He only found out toward the end.
Ming Shu examined the man in front of her under the dim light.
Finally, she said, âWhy is Ye Jiâs lifespan different?â
Father Yeâs hand stopped in midair. âHe even told you this?â
Ming Shu didnât answer.
Silence.
âI donât know why this happens, either.â
Father Ye said that Ye Jiâs lifespan kept flowing away. Yet, he couldnât take other peopleâs lifespans.
His lifespan would not be reset like theirs, either.
âI asked around and heard that there was someone who was in the same situation as Little Ji. When that person reached the end of his life, he disappeared from the cycle totally when the world reset again.â
âI donât know why this happened.â
Ming Shu frowned. Was that a real death?
It seemed to be a bug in the game.
Was the little demon so unlucky?
She remembered the little demonâs current situation. He might really be so unlucky.
Frustrating.
...
The next day, Ming Shu left with Ye Ji under Father Yeâs complicated gaze.
Ming Shu took Ye Ji to Du Ji. Surprisingly, she saw the young Lu Ning.
She was loitering outside Du Ji with a dark expression.
Although Ming Shu looked slightly different, Lu Ning still recognized her the moment she saw her.
She hurried over. âMiss Jiang Xue.â
âLetâs talk inside,â Ming Shu said.
Lu Ning nodded.
Lu Ning was really anxious. The headquarters of Du Ji still looked the same. Lu Ning stared at the familiar place and felt calmer.
âDaughter, why did you bring two people back? We donât raise useless people!â
Her father appeared like a spirit.
Ming Shu: â...â
Her father didnât seem to have the intention to continue the conversation. He just left after saying this.
Lu Ning never saw Jiang Xueâs father before. She saw the other people at Du Ji bowing to him so she asked curiously, âMiss Jiang Xue, he...â
âMy zen father. Just ignore him.â
Lu Ning: â???â
