The corners of Fleeting Time's lips finally curled up, and there was something in his eyes that sent chills down Ye Ci's spine. That kind of thing belonged to the calculation of a canine. Apart from being captured without a fight, there was no way to break free.
Ye Ci was not fond of scheming. In fact, no one was fond of scheming.
Ye Ci suddenly regretted her decision. Did I do something wrong? I shouldn't have asked about the agreement. I shouldn't have been so calculative with Fleeting Time.
It was just that it was a little too late to say this now. The words spoken were like water spilled by a married daughter. They could no longer be taken back. Ye Ci was feeling uneasy, but she could only take one step at a time and act according to the situation.
Fleeting Time did not answer Ye Ci's question immediately. His eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Ye Ci's face, trying to find any clues from her expression. But Fleeting Time could not help but give up in the end. The woman was able to conceal her emotions so well that he was unable to find any clues even after searching for a long time.
"One year." Fleeting Time uttered a time frame.
"What do you mean by one year?" Ye Ci raised an eyebrow. She did not understand what Fleeting Time was talking about.
"You can refuse to be my woman for one year, but you can't refuse my pursuit of you. If you still do not change your mind after one year, I will disappear from your world. I will never bother you again." Fleeting Time paused for a moment, "I can even … leave Fate."
Fleeting Time's words stunned Ye Ci. She suddenly recalled the time when Fleeting Time disappeared in her last life. It was about a year later in her last life. Did that mean that he had signed some sort of agreement with someone back then? Did he leave the game because he could not get what he wanted? Or did he leave the game for some other reason? Ye Ci did not know. She stared at Fleeting Time in disbelief, and spoke up after a long while, "Why did I agree to your agreement? It doesn't seem to benefit me at all. "
"Is that so?" Fleeting Time smiled, "Does that mean that you're satisfied with our relationship, and that you're satisfied with my pursuit of you? Do you want to continue this pursuit for the next eight to ten years, until the game falls into decline? "Fleeting Time's voice was filled with a hint of frivolity.
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes at Fleeting Time's words, "Fleeting Time, don't try to provoke me. You can't do that to me." Fleeting Time's words made Ye Ci squint her eyes. She stared at Fleeting Time for a moment before speaking in a calm voice, "Fleeting Time, don't try to provoke me.
Fleeting Time shook his head, "I'm not trying to provoke you. Besides, I know that provocation won't work on you. I'm just telling you the truth. I'm a very persistent person. I won't give up until I reach my goal. " The fingers of his right hand bounced beautifully on his knee, like five thin white jade pipes, delicate and not lacking in strength. "If you don't set a time limit, I will continue to chase after you."
Fleeting Time's words caused a frown to form on Ye Ci's face. She knew that she was very similar to Fleeting Time in certain aspects. She was just as stubborn, just like Fleeting Time, and would not give up until she achieved her goals.
"Why don't we set a time limit so that you and I won't be in so much pain? One year it is. If I still can't win your heart after a year, then I'll leave. " Fleeting Time chuckled. He made it sound so simple, as if it was just a small matter.
"If …" Ye Ci opened her mouth to say something, but decided against it in the end with a smile on her face.
"If what?" Ye Ci's hesitation puzzled Fleeting Time. He looked at Ye Ci and asked.
"Nothing." Ye Ci shook her head and began to ponder Fleeting Time's suggestion. He's right. If I agree to it, I'll only be bothered for a year. If I don't agree to it, I'll be bothered for a decade. It's not worth it. But … Ye Ci bit her lips. The question that she did not ask was still lingering in her heart.
What if he changed his mind after a year? What would happen then?
Ye Ci let out a self-deprecating laugh. That 'if' was not constructive at all. Me and Fleeting Time? That's impossible! She admitted that she was addicted to Fleeting Time's kiss, but it was just a kiss. I'm an adult. What does a kiss mean? My thoughts? My feelings? My decision? None of them.
That's why I only like the kiss. I like the feeling of it. That's all.
It must be. It must be.
She tried her best to convince herself of the unwillingness in the depths of her heart.
"So, what's your answer?" Fleeting Time stared at Ye Ci, waiting for her answer. Fleeting Time was not in a hurry to find out Ye Ci's answer. He would never do anything that he was not confident in. Even though his pursuit of Gongzi You was filled with uncertainty, it did not mean that he would lose his head when it came to other matters. He was confident that Gongzi You would agree to it. After all, she could not wait to leave him.
His heart ached when he heard the answer. Regardless of whether Gongzi You agreed or not, Fleeting Time would not be happy with the answer that he had used to obtain victory in the end. After all, Gongzi You seemed to have embarked on a path to get rid of him the moment she agreed to the contract.
Fleeting Time could not help but feel a sense of helplessness whenever he thought of how much she wanted to get rid of him.
It's so depressing.
"Alright, I agree." Ye Ci agreed to it in the end. She did not want to look into Fleeting Time's eyes, and her voice rang out in the silent cell.
Fleeting Time could not describe the feeling in his heart. It was empty, and there was an indescribable bitterness in his heart. He was suddenly very tired, and he wanted to sleep. It was as if sleep was the only way he could continue the battle.
Ye Ci could not describe the feeling in her heart. It was as if her heart had been emptied, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. She looked up at Fleeting Time, and for some reason, she felt tired. She wanted to take a nap, but not in the game. She wanted to take a nap on a soft bed. That was the only way she could be mentally prepared for what was to come.
"I'm going down," the two of them said almost at the same time. The two were stunned for a moment, and they forced a smile on their faces.
"There's been a lot going on today. I'm a little tired. I'm going to sleep now. Let's talk about the AFK tomorrow." Ye Ci was the first to speak up.
"Yeah, I feel the same way." Fleeting Time nodded in agreement with Ye Ci's words.
Both of them were not in the right state of mind at that moment. It should be said that both of them were not in the right state of mind from the moment Ye Ci agreed to sign the agreement. Neither of them could explain the reason.
"Alright, I'll be logging off then." Ye Ci took one last glance at Fleeting Time before logging off. Fleeting Time did not stay a moment longer after Ye Ci disappeared. He followed suit and logged off as well.
Fleeting Time opened his gaming cabin, and laid down in it as he stared at the bright lights in the room. He was truly exhausted. He let out a long sigh and climbed out of the gaming cabin. He stumbled to his bed and immediately fell onto it. Not long after, he had already fallen asleep.
Ye Ci opened her gaming cabin, and the moonlight shone into the room. She sat in her gaming cabin, and her thoughts were lost in her thoughts for a long time. She climbed out of the gaming cabin after a long while, and lay down on her bed. Ye Ci stared at the white ceiling, but she did not feel sleepy at all. She let out a long sigh and forced herself to close her eyes. Just as she closed her eyes, she seemed to feel something warm and soft brushing past her lips. She couldn't help but tremble.
She opened her eyes again, and there was nothing there.
Am I possessed? Ye Ci grabbed the blanket and covered herself with it. She did not mind the fact that she would get heat rashes in the middle of summer.
Ye Ci did not even know when she fell asleep.
It was a dreamless night. It was a good night's sleep. Ye Ci woke up early the next morning. She was already awake at the crack of dawn. Ye Ci stared at the sunlight outside the window, and did not realize where she was for a long time. She only snapped out of her daze when she heard the sound of footsteps.
Ye Ci got out of bed and opened the door to her room. She limped to the bathroom, but she bumped into Tan Polang. Tan Polang was shocked to see Ye Ci. He stared at her with his eyes wide open, and let out a long sigh, "You scared me to death."
"What? Do I look like a ghost? "Ye Ci was very dissatisfied with Tan Polang's attitude.
Tan Polang, on the other hand, was reminded of the photo of Ye Ci kissing Fleeting Time. He immediately turned his head and explained, "No, no. I'm going to the balcony to study. You can have the bathroom." With that, he turned his back to Ye Ci. (To be continued.) If you like this novel, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
