Chapter 489: Ignorance
Translator: Lonelytree
This conversation was really boring. I didn’t mind it. I didn’t have much to say to Ma Ji anyway, so I simply found a pole to lean on and closed my eyes to rest.
“We still have a long journey ahead. Don’t you want to talk about something else?” Ma Ji asked.
With my eyes closed, I smiled, “Well, you can tell me stuff, and I will listen. However, I don’t want boring stories.”!!
I heard Ma Ji grunt with exasperation. I had yet to meet a person who could infuriate people as naturally as I did. Ma Ji took a deep breath to calm down.
“Do you want to hear the story between your mother and me?” Ma Ji asked.
I shook my head. “Nope, that is your story, and it has nothing to do with me. Mom is mom. No matter how interesting her life is, that is her life. If you hate her, then you’re already seeking revenge on me. If you owe her… then, I guess that can’t be the case.”
Ma Ji hissed. I believed she must be annoyed to run into me.
I was in a good mood after I knew Jing Tian was really cured. Whether he remembered me or not, I didn’t mind. Sometimes, forgetting was better. I didn’t need to care anymore.
But my heart was already numb from the pain.
Jing Tian and I would probably never see each other again in this lifetime.
Even if we did, he wouldn’t recognize me. He wasn’t him anymore; I was still me.
After I was reborn, I swore I would present the best version of Nanxing to him and stand by his side and be worthy of him. However, the day seemed to float further away.
I lay on the deck and closed my eyes against the sun. Tears flowed down the corner of my eyes. Tears dropped on my sleeve.
“Sister Xing.” Xiao Yi’s careful voice sounded in my ears.
I moved my arms but didn’t open my eyes.
“Sister Xing, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.” Xiao Yi apologized to me in a low voice.
Seeing that I didn’t move, he continued, “Sister Xing, I really didn’t know that things would turn out like this. Sister Xing, even if I die, I’ll definitely protect you.”
I sighed in my heart. Silly boy, how can you protect me when you can’t even protect yourself?
Xiao Yi whispered, “Sister Xing, I need you to act with me. Later, I need you to scold me and chase me away. I’ve installed a locator on the ship and sent the signal to Master Si and Master Qi. Sister Xing, Tong Yan, and the witch are not on the same side.”
I heard footsteps.
Xiao Yi raised his voice and sobbed, “Sister Xing, I really don’t know anything. I’m sorry.”
The footsteps stopped.
I slowly opened my eyes and turned to Xiao Yi, “Scram! Get away from me!”
Xiao Yi looked aggrieved.
“Nanxing won’t listen to you. Xiao Yi, don’t bother. She won’t trust you anymore.” It was Ma Ji.
Ma Ji’s voice was gentle. “Xiao Yi, your mother has taken care of me for years, so I will not abandon you. As for Nanxing, you should give up. If I were her, I wouldn’t trust you either.”
Xiao Yi stood with his head lowered, not saying a word.
Ma Ji sighed softly. “Nanxing has this kind of magic that makes people want to follow her. Xiao Yi, you should go rest. Don’t waste your energy here.”
Xiao Yi looked at me with resentment and went away.
I maintained my posture and didn’t even look at Ma Ji.
