After sending Liu Chang to the car, Ye Ci took a deep breath.
Although it was already spring, Ye Ci could still feel the cold air in the air. It was so cold that her limbs were aching from the cold. Or maybe, it wasn't the weather that made her feel cold, but the person who made her feel cold was the one who pushed her into the cold, dark abyss.
She covered her head with the hood of her coat, covering her hair and half of her face. She lowered her head and her expression couldn't be seen clearly.
In fact, she wasn't as strong as she appeared to be. Even if she already knew the outcome of some things, she would still feel terrible and her heart would ache when she experienced it again. She knew that she was a selfish person, but she wasn't heartless. She wasn't really cold-blooded. She just loved herself very much.
This time, she really cut it off.
The Ye Ci of the past, the eighteen years of love that had lasted.
It was just that after this time, they would really become strangers. She felt very cold for no reason, so cold that her nose started to ache. Why, even if she lived again, some things wouldn't change? Even if the process was different, even if the mood was different, the result would still be the same.
A strong and warm arm wrapped around her shoulder, and then the hand gently pressed her head into a warm embrace. The hood covered Ye Ci's face completely, and she could only look outside through a small gap.
Looking out, the sun was shining brightly, and the horizon was so close yet so far.
"Everyone will experience things that they don't like. These things will let us gain something, and also let us lose something. Calm down, the process of growing up is painful. It's okay to let it go. " Bai Mo's voice was like a warm burning charcoal, soothing Ye Ci's bone-chilling cold.
Yes, growing up was painful. How could she not know that? It was just that the older a person got, the more timid they became. When the 28-year-old Ye Ci walked through the ravine of a 19-year-old, she couldn't help but become timid and shrink back, because she already knew what was waiting for her on the other side of the ravine.
If it was possible, people really didn't want to grow up.
"Bai Mo …" Ye Ci sighed softly. She turned around and placed her entire body into Bai Mo's embrace. It was a familiar scent, a scent that made her feel safe. She blinked and recalled the pain of being separated in her previous life. Her eyelashes couldn't help but moisten. She murmured in a voice that only she could hear, "Don't, don't leave me again …"
"This time, you have to stay alive. Stay alive. Stay alive. No, leave me alone … "
"What?" Bai Mo only knew that Ye Ci was muttering something, but he didn't understand a single word. He couldn't help but tilt his head and ask carefully.
"Nothing." Ye Ci sniffed hard and forced back the tears in her eyes. Then she resolutely left Bai Mo's embrace and looked up at him with a confident smile. "Let's go home!"
Bai Mo actually knew that Ye Ci must have said something, but Ye Ci didn't want him to know, so he definitely wouldn't ask. He reached his hand into Ye Ci's hat and ruffled her hair. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's go home."
On the way back, they were in luck. There was actually a seat in the last row.
Sitting by the window, Ye Ci stared at the scenery outside the window. It was as if she had lived her life in the past.
Suddenly, Bai Mo said something.
"You rejected Dong Yin just like that. Aren't you afraid of The Setting Sun's revenge? I'm guessing that Thousand Sunsets was the one who made Dong Yin's request to you. Now that she's returned empty-handed, won't Thousand Sunsets be enraged by the theft of the warehouse and … "" You're right.
"He won't." Ye Ci turned to look at Bai Mo. Her confident look made it impossible for anyone to doubt her.
"Why?" Bai Mo really didn't understand. "After the warehouse robbery last time, you were so cautious that he would take revenge. Why aren't you afraid this time? Last time, he only suspected you, but this time, you rejected him directly. He's such a narrow-minded person. He won't let you go so easily. "
"Indeed, according to his personality, he definitely won't let me go, but …" Ye Ci's lips suddenly curled into a strange smile. "Right now, The Setting Sun can't even take care of himself."
After saying that, she didn't say anything else. Bai Mo only hesitated a little but didn't ask again. The two seemed to have the most tacit understanding. Neither of them mentioned this matter again.
Ye Ci continued to squint and look outside the window. She thought of her previous life.
That time, after she betrayed him, The Setting Sun quickly lost power. It happened so quickly that he didn't have time to find trouble with her. Just as Dong Yin had said, the inheritance rights of these rich kids were above all else in the family. Those who had the right of inheritance would be surrounded by attendants and acted like princes. If they lost the right of inheritance, they would probably not even care about the extra people and their situation would be even more miserable than the average person. Other than some basic living expenses, the family would not have any power or influence. At that time, the gap between the front and the back would be enough to destroy a person alive.
Originally, Ye Ci didn't know about this matter. However, in her previous life, she witnessed The Setting Sun's downfall from being a genius to a beggar. It happened so quickly that it only took a day or two. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Ye Ci wouldn't have believed that in the world of these rich people, the choice of heir was so cruel.
Thinking about it, it was better for her to be a little rich. At least … she wouldn't lose her parents and relatives.
Ye Ci couldn't remember what happened to The Setting Sun after he lost everything. It wasn't that she didn't care. It was just that after he lost his power, he was like a dewdrop in the morning. He disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant, and no one could find him again.
Now, The Setting Sun was facing his own end because of her rebirth. Was this a good thing or a bad thing? Ye Ci couldn't tell. However, she thought of something. If The Setting Sun collapsed, what would happen to Dong Yin? What about Yi Cang?
Then she couldn't help but laugh. This had nothing to do with her anymore.
Life was about choices. They had chosen different paths. Now, she could only wish them a safe journey.
Yes, a safe journey.
She decided on one thing. She would put the Epic Quest aside for a while. Now, she had something else to do. Since this was a crucial moment for The Setting Sun to retain his right to inherit, she couldn't let go of this opportunity.
