Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I did cause the death of my mother.”
Qi Yu sat in a corner and looked at the floor. His voice was soft.
“They’re right to say that I’m an unlucky person. The people around me all died.”
His mother, his childhood friend, his best friends…
They were all dead.
Ming Shu pulled him into her arms. “I’m still here.”
Qi Yu hugged her waist. His voice was m.u.f.fled. “I dreamed that… you died too.”
Ming Shu remembered how agitated he was when he was Ye Ji and had that dream.
Ming Shu hugged him tightly. “I will not die. Why would I die?”
No one wanted her to die.
She would not die. She couldn’t die.
Qi Yu looked up. There were tears in his eyes. He opened his mouth. “You will always stay beside me, right?”
His reflection appeared in Ming Shu’s eyes. She paused for a few seconds before nodding. “Yes.”
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 Yu’s hands moved across Ming Shu’s body. Ming Shu suddenly held his hand.
“Be obedient. Not now.”
Qi Yu bit her lips. “Why?”
He wanted her.
He wanted the real her.
“I’m a spirit now.” He couldn’t handle the power of her spirit. Ming Shu consoled him. “Be obedient. Wait for me to bring you back.”
Qi Yu could tell that she was being serious now.
He bit her a few more times gently and didn’t continue. However, he didn’t plan to let her off so easily. “Can you help me?”
Ming Shu: “…”
Ming Shu felt that she was causing trouble for herself. She shouldn’t 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 Yu’s 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. “Do you want to take a bath?”
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 didn’t speak. Ming Shu didn’t receive any replies so she just continued hugging him.
Ming Shu said, “Let’s sleep for a while.”
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.
“Little Nine, hurry up and come over. Mummy made your favorite sugar pastry.”
A cute and pretty little boy ran over from the other end of the corridor. The woman’s face was blurred, but her voice was gentle.
“Mother, the teacher praised me today.”
“Really? Our Little Nine is impressive. Shall I reward you with one more sugar pastry?”
A golden sugar pastry appeared in front of him.
Little Qi Yu sounded elated. “Okay!”
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 woman’s 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.
“Wife?”
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. “What happened?”
Qi Yu hugged her. His voice was shaking. “I thought you disappeared.”
Ming Shu patted his back in silence. She said softly, “I’m here.”
“Where did you go?”
“Oh, your golden-haired brother is back,” Ming Shu said. “I went to take a look. He is in a very bad state. Do you want to see him? You might feel better.”
Qi Yu: “…”
…
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 didn’t come.
“Lord Nine…”
“Lord Nine.”
Everyone cleared a path for Qi Yu and Ming Shu. Qi Yu looked at Qi He. “It’s a pity that you’re not dead. You mother thought that I pa.s.sed my bad luck to you.”
Qi He frowned slightly. “Little Nine, do we have to…”
“Don’t call me that,” Qi Yu said.
Qi He took a deep breath. “Qi Yu, can we put aside all these things first?”
“I want to ask you something. Why did you…”
Qi He looked at the other people suddenly. “You all can leave first.”
The others exchanged glances with each other and walked out of the room. There were only three of them left.
“Why did you a.s.sign me that mission before? What do you all want to do to her? You and Luo Yan schemed against me!”
Qi He’s long hair had been shortened. It used to be at his waist but now, it was only at his shoulder. He didn’t tie his hair up. With his pale face, he looked quite exquisite.
He pushed himself up.
He looked at Ming Shu and said slowly, “Because she is the main character.”
“What main character?”
“When we were looking at the discrepancies that happened in the other worlds, we found her.”
“Then?”
Qi He looked at Ming Shu. “I would like to ask Miss Ming Shu a question. What is your relationship with the Elder?”
Ming Shu replied, “I don’t have any relationship with it. Before I came here, I didn’t even know this name.”
Qi He changed his words. “How did you enter all the worlds then?”
Ming Shu didn’t answer him.
Qi He said, “Miss Ming Shu, I’m sure that you want to know the truth too. Please answer my questions.”
Ming Shu smiled gently. “I don’t want to know anything.”
Qi He didn’t give up. “What about the Apocalypse? You don’t want to know about that, either?”
Ming Shu frowned. The Apocalypse again.
The next second, she smiled. “I don’t 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.”
Qi He said, “If I’m not wrong, Miss Ming Shu’s system is the Elder.”
Ming Shu didn’t care. “Oh, what does it want then? To take over the world? Your world is ending soon. What is the point of taking over it?”
Qi He replied, “It wants to destroy our department.”
“Hadn’t it succeeded?”
“Miss Ming Shu, do you know what we do?”
Ming Shu randomly guessed. “Play dating sims?”
Qi He: “…”
He looked at Qi Yu. After so long, you still haven’t told her what we do?
Qi Yu looked away.
