Yi Xiâs main purpose should be to rob Lu Ningâs lifespan card, but why did she choose Lu Ning?
Lu Ning wasnât 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 didnât see it clearly.
But after this reset, Yi Xi planned to snatch Lu Ningâs card for the first time. Apparently, some kind of chance had made her find something special about Lu Ningâs card.
Something so important was robbed.
Lu Ning didnât think about how to take it back, instead, she was thinking about the world reset.
Ming Shu didnât 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 Districtâs direction.
He rolled down the window. âDarling, may I have the honor to give you a ride?â
As the car window rolled down, Ming Shu saw Yi Xi thrown in the back.
Ming Shu: â...â
Lu Ning: â...â
Ye Ji stood there lazily and didnât look like heâd 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 Jiâs mind, numerous and disorderly, crowded in his brain.
Some of the images seemed familiar, but if he gave it a second thought, he just couldnât 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.
âWhat are you thinking?â Ming Shu put her arms around his waist from behind and walked to his side.
âIâm thinking of you, darling,â Ye Ji answered naturally.
Ming Shu took two desserts and put them into her mouth. âWhy are you so sweet?â
Ye Ji leaned closer to Ming Shuâs ear. âDo you want to have a taste?â
âIn broad daylight!â Ming Shu lectured him with righteous attitude. âMind your behavior!â
Ye Ji looked around. âThereâs no one else here.â
He kissed Ming Shuâs earlobe, turned her face, and bit her lips, kissing her softly for a moment.
âYou are sweeter than me, darling.â
Ming Shu replied disdainfully, âArenât you talking nonsense, Iâm your sweetheart, of course Iâm sweet.â
Ye Ji: â...â
I canât continue the conversation!
But Ye Ji thought he shouldnât give up easily. âI also want to be your sweetheart, darling.â
I am also edible!
And I smell good and tasty!
Ming Shu glanced at him a little weirdly. âI may give it a second thought if it were before the reset, but now... I donât think I have any desire for you.â
Ye Ji: â???â
Ye Ji reacted for a long time. âIâm a grown-up now.â
Ming Shu smiled evilly. âBut Iâm not.â
Ye Ji: â...â
Ye Ji took several deep breaths and held back his impulse to beat her up.
He changed the subject sanely. âDid the woman say anything?â
âIâd rather ask, why did you want to catch her?â
Ye Ji answered calmly, âDidnât she go against you earlier? I happened to run across her so I brought her here.â
Of course he didnât 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 didnât ask further. âI heard that she grabbed Lu Ningâs lifespan card because some people in your Ye family can change the names of lifespan cards.â
Ye Ji didnât know much about the Ye familyâs affairs.
âIs that so?â
âYes, the world is big and home to all kinds of wonderful things.â
âBut no matter how big the world is, thereâs only one of you.â
â...â
Can we have a proper conversation?!
Did I ask you to make a love confession?
Did I?!
Yi Xi didnât have much lifespan left, and just like Ye Ji, she couldnât 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 Ningâs card.
The previously blurred picture suddenly became clear at that moment.
So when she learned that someone in the Ye family could change other peopleâs 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 Jiâs side.
Also, she didnât 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 couldnât kill Yi Xi as her Hatred Points hadnât 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 didnât 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.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYe Ji? What are you doing?â
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.
âItâs late in the night, what are you doing? Turning over the pancake?â
âDarling, do you want to have a bite?â The tip of Ye Jiâs nose came against the tip of Ming Shuâs, and their lips were close together.
Ming Shu licked with the tip of her tongue and bit his lips lightly. âYou canât fall asleep?â
âNo...â
âOkay, Iâll sleep then...â
âDarling!â This is different from what I was thinking!
Ming Shu: â...â
Youâre 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 Jiâs breathing stopped instantly.
âDarling?â
Ye Ji grabbed Ming Shuâs 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 Jiâs 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. âIf you do it again, get out and sleep outside.â
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.
âDarling, can I ask you to help me every night?â
â...Do you want to die young?â Every night! Are your kidneys as hard as diamonds?
âIâd love to die with you, darling.â
âWho wants to die with you? Stay away from me.â
âDarling...â
âYe Ji!â
âAhh? It moved by itself, itâs none of my business. Darling, donât beat me, I was wrong...â
âGet out!â
