Chapter 1275: Yes Darling (32)
Ming Shu regretted it very much. She shouldn’t have helped him with that. Ever since she opened the door of a new world for him, Ye Ji began to take off his gloves to her.
“Ye Ji, can you fill your mind with something else?”
Ye Ji was very innocent. “Darling, why should I do that? All I want and miss is you.”
Ming Shu: “…Can you pursue something bigger?”
Ye Ji continued, “Darling, you are the thing I want to pursue.”
“Other than me!”
Ye Ji thought for a moment then shook his head. “Nothing else.”
Ming Shu went a little crazy. “What about your dreams? Your ideals?”
Can we give each other a little space!
My snacks are going to rebel!
“My dream is you, and my ideal is also you.” Ye Ji revealed a confident face. “Darling, I like you the most.
“How should I put it…
“I’m going to die in about six months.
“…”
Thinking of the countdown on the lifespan card, Ming Shu felt a little depressed. She had tried to guide him to recover his memory, but it didn’t work at all!
“I just want to share more memories with you, darling.” Ye Ji’s tone was lonely. “You said I didn’t come from this world, but I couldn’t remember. I don’t know if we can see each other again. Even when the world resets, I don’t have any way to start over…”
“What nonsense are you saying.” Ming Shu slapped him on the head and pulled it into her arms. “You think too much nonsense every day, do you think you are a sentimental girl?”
Ye Ji got his wish of being hugged, so he could not help but show a smile of success.
…
Lu Ning had been busy making peace between the two districts recently. Somehow she even persuaded Ye Wenji to help her. With Ye Wenji leading… the negotiation was still difficult.
The first thing they needed to do was to tear down the defensive measures of West District. In the future, people from East District wouldn’t need to submit an application or pay a deposit to enter the West District.
But the idea was easier said than done.
How would those people in West District accept that people from East District could be seen everywhere in the streets in the future?
The protests almost drowned them out.
Lu Ning also doubted whether what she had done was right.
But the girl named Jiang Xue said that she could do it.
So she persevered.
Lu Ning didn’t dare to go to Ban Lan. She was afraid that what she did would involve him.
Ban Lan had no memory of the past…
He shouldn’t be involved in these things.
Later, the voices of the West District became weak, and some people even began to support them.
Lu Ning didn’t know why, and those people didn’t tell her, either. They just looked at her with malicious and precautious eyes.
But things were developing better.
She thought…
It was like that.
…
The first snow of winter came so fast that nobody was ready for it.
Everyone shivered with cold. The heavy snow blocked the traffic, and half of the defensive wall of West District had been left unguarded. Right now, on the roads leading to the West and East District, there were lines of cars.
The snow fell fast and heavily. The entire world was covered with silver clothes and the cold wind blew fiercely.
Lu Ning was discussing something with Ye Wenji.
A person suddenly broke in. “Mister, Miss Lu, there’s… there’s a riot outside.”
“What?”
“What’s happening!”
Ye Wenji and Lu Ning stood up at the same time.
The person who reported gasped. “Just now someone shot people dead on Fusheng Road, it’s… it’s the East District.”
The last few words stabbed into Lu Ning’s heart like a knife.
Ye Wenji arranged people to check the situation immediately and contacted the officials to suppress it conveniently.
Eventually it was suppressed, but because of this matter, the West District’s discontent erupted.
Was this what they called peaceful coexistence of the two districts?
Let the trash of East District kill them?
Lu Ning and the Ye family became the targets of public criticism for a time.
“Mr. Ye…” Lu Ning looked at Ye Wenji. “Did I do it wrong?”
Lu Ning didn’t think the East District was as bad as the West District described, but some people were really intolerable.
“I didn’t consider it thoroughly.” Ye Wenji’s expression was gloomy. “It’s not your fault.
“But…” He paused and looked outside the window. Then he said with a firm tone, “Someone must have planned it.”
Lu Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly. Someone planned it?
If so, someone must have done it purposely because they didn’t want the two districts live together peacefully…
But the West District was full of such people.
Even some of their supporters would ask for that.
She was no fool and could feel it.
Those people seemed to be afraid of something and had to support them unwillingly.
Just as they found out who was behind it, there was another riot and many people died.
The riots occurred one after another. Taking advantage of the weather, it seemed they wanted to stage a thrilling confrontation in this world of ice and snow.
The contradictions between West and East District had been brought to the surface again.
Protesters surrounded the Ye family.
Ye Wenji stood in the living room, looking out at the snowy landscape in the courtyard, with people’s roaring in the distance.
“Big Brother, I’ve told you so, this is unrealistic, but you didn’t listen to me. Look at those people outside now, I’m afraid they’re eager to swallow our Ye family alive.”
A man who was a little like Ye Wenji in appearance said, unfriendly.
Lu Ning saw the man and couldn’t help shrinking down.
The man glanced at her and became even more empathetic. “Big Brother, you are old enough yet still hang out with such a young girl. You’ve been blinded by her beauty, Big Brother, I think you…”
“Shut up!”
Ye Wenji suddenly scolded him.
“Did I say something wrong? Big brother, are you angry…”
“Get upstairs!” Ye Wenji didn’t want to hear his crap.
The man formed a fake smile and left.
Ye Wenji looked at Lu Ning. “Miss Lu, I’m sorry about my brother’s impoliteness.”
He could even be Lu Ning’s father, how would he have other thoughts.
The recent comments Lu Ning had heard made her immune, and she didn’t take it to heart.
But she was hesitant. “Mr. Ye, there’s one thing, I don’t know if I should tell you or not.”
Lu Ning didn’t tell Ye Wenji about the matter because she had no evidence. Without evidence, it was easy to be mistaken for nonsense.
Ye Wenji: “What else should not be known now? Just say it, what’s the matter?”
Lu Ning closed her mouth once and told the matter to Ye Wenji.
That person…
It was exactly the man who called Ye Wenji big brother just now.
On the matter of advocating for peace between the two districts, he was also the one who had opposed it the most.
Ye Wenji fell into silence.
Why did he want so badly to prevent the world from resetting?
In the final analysis, it was because of Ye Ji.
If Ye Ji’s lifespan could be restored after each reset just like theirs, he wouldn’t have to stress so much.
Only when the world stopped resetting, he believed, would Ye Ji get better.
But there were also people who objected, like his second younger brother.
In the past he had been openly opposed to him and argued with him very angrily. But later, he just mocked him unkindly, and he thought he was giving up.
Who knew that he would hear such news from Lu Ning.
