âI did cause the death of my mother.â
Qi Yu sat in a corner and looked at the floor. His voice was soft.
âTheyâre right to say that Iâm an unlucky person. The people around me all died.â
His mother, his childhood friend, his best friends...
They were all dead.
Ming Shu pulled him into her arms. âIâm still here.â
Qi Yu hugged her waist. His voice was muffled. âI dreamed that... you died too.â
Ming Shu remembered how agitated he was when he was Ye Ji and had that dream.
Ming Shu hugged him tightly. âI will not die. Why would I die?â
No one wanted her to die.
She would not die. She couldnât die.
Qi Yu looked up. There were tears in his eyes. He opened his mouth. âYou will always stay beside me, right?â
His reflection appeared in Ming Shuâs eyes. She paused for a few seconds before nodding. âYes.â
Qi Yu kissed her.
The two of them fell on the bed. Ming Shu hugged his neck and kissed him back.
His body was extremely hot. She was influenced by him.
Qi Yuâs hands moved across Ming Shuâs body. Ming Shu suddenly held his hand.
âBe obedient. Not now.â
Qi Yu bit her lips. âWhy?â
He wanted her.
He wanted the real her.
âIâm a spirit now.â He couldnât handle the power of her spirit. Ming Shu consoled him. âBe obedient. Wait for me to bring you back.â
Qi Yu could tell that she was being serious now.
He bit her a few more times gently and didnât continue. However, he didnât plan to let her off so easily. âCan you help me?â
Ming Shu: â...â
Ming Shu felt that she was causing trouble for herself. She shouldnât have come in just now. She should have just let him cry on his own. Everything would be fine after crying.
Everyone had their own problems!
He had survived for so many years. He would be able to handle it.
My little demon is not so useless.
Qi Yuâs light panting made her heart itch.
Her heart started softening. If his body could handle it, she would have done it with him instantly.
After she finished helping Qi Yu, Ming Shu kissed his sweaty forehead. âDo you want to take a bath?â
Qi Yu shook his head. He continued holding her waist. Ming Shu had no choice but to clean him haphazardly and then lie down with him.
Qi Yu didnât speak. Ming Shu didnât receive any replies so she just continued hugging him.
Ming Shu said, âLetâs sleep for a while.â
Qi Yu closed his eyes. A refreshing smell wafted into his nose. He showed his weakness to this person.
Qi Yu felt that he was dreaming.
He went back to that year when his mother was still alive.
âLittle Nine, hurry up and come over. Mummy made your favorite sugar pastry.â
A cute and pretty little boy ran over from the other end of the corridor. The womanâs face was blurred, but her voice was gentle.
âMother, the teacher praised me today.â
âReally? Our Little Nine is impressive. Shall I reward you with one more sugar pastry?â
A golden sugar pastry appeared in front of him.
Little Qi Yu sounded elated. âOkay!â
As he reached out his hand, the image around him changed.
He stood among the ruins. There was smoke all around him. Aliens were everywhere.
The womanâs body lay not far away from him. Blood oozed out of his chest. It flowed onto the ground and reached his feet.
Qi Yu opened his eyes suddenly. There was no one in his arms. He sat up in a flurry.
âWife?â
The light was dim and the air was cold.
She was not here.
Why was she not here?
Qi Yu got worried. Uneasiness took over his heart.
Ming Shu walked over in the air. âWhat happened?â
Qi Yu hugged her. His voice was shaking. âI thought you disappeared.â
Ming Shu patted his back in silence. She said softly, âIâm here.â
âWhere did you go?â
âOh, your golden-haired brother is back,â Ming Shu said. âI went to take a look. He is in a very bad state. Do you want to see him? You might feel better.â
Qi Yu: â...â
...
Qi He was in a bad state. He was injured everywhere.
However, he was still far from dying.
After receiving treatment in the base, most of his injuries healed. Only the parts which were heavily wounded needed more time to heal.
Luo Yan came back too. As compared to Qi He, he seemed to be in a worse state.
All in all, both of them were badly injured.
Luo Yan was sent back to his room. Qi He remained in the treatment room. Many people gathered around him.
Aunt Mei was still unconscious so she didnât come.
âLord Nine...â
âLord Nine.â
Everyone cleared a path for Qi Yu and Ming Shu. Qi Yu looked at Qi He. âItâs a pity that youâre not dead. You mother thought that I passed my bad luck to you.â
Qi He frowned slightly. âLittle Nine, do we have to...â
âDonât call me that,â Qi Yu said.
Qi He took a deep breath. âQi Yu, can we put aside all these things first?â
âI want to ask you something. Why did you...â
Qi He looked at the other people suddenly. âYou all can leave first.â
The others exchanged glances with each other and walked out of the room. There were only three of them left.
âWhy did you assign me that mission before? What do you all want to do to her? You and Luo Yan schemed against me!â
Qi Heâs long hair had been shortened. It used to be at his waist but now, it was only at his shoulder. He didnât tie his hair up. With his pale face, he looked quite exquisite.
He pushed himself up.
He looked at Ming Shu and said slowly, âBecause she is the main character.â
âWhat main character?â
âWhen we were looking at the discrepancies that happened in the other worlds, we found her.â
âThen?â
Qi He looked at Ming Shu. âI would like to ask Miss Ming Shu a question. What is your relationship with the Elder?â
Ming Shu replied, âI donât have any relationship with it. Before I came here, I didnât even know this name.â
Qi He changed his words. âHow did you enter all the worlds then?â
Ming Shu didnât answer him.
Qi He said, âMiss Ming Shu, Iâm sure that you want to know the truth too. Please answer my questions.â
Ming Shu smiled gently. âI donât want to know anything.â
Qi He didnât give up. âWhat about the Apocalypse? You donât want to know about that, either?â
Ming Shu frowned. The Apocalypse again.
The next second, she smiled. âI donât know about the Elder. I entered these worlds due to the help of the Harmony System. However, after I entered this base, it never contacted me again.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qi He said, âIf Iâm not wrong, Miss Ming Shuâs system is the Elder.â
Ming Shu didnât care. âOh, what does it want then? To take over the world? Your world is ending soon. What is the point of taking over it?â
Qi He replied, âIt wants to destroy our department.â
âHadnât it succeeded?â
âMiss Ming Shu, do you know what we do?â
Ming Shu randomly guessed. âPlay dating sims?â
Qi He: â...â
He looked at Qi Yu. After so long, you still havenât told her what we do?
Qi Yu looked away.
