A game was a game, and reality was different.
No matter how realistic one's senses were in the game, they were completely different from reality.
This was the first time Ye Ci had physical contact with Fleeting Time in real life, even if she had plenty of experience with him in the game. Strangely, it was different from a calm handshake. This kind of touch actually gave her a soul-stirring feeling. Her heart, which had always been calm, was now beating excitedly in the left side of her chest. Ye Ci gulped. It was as if she had lost her hearing. All she could hear was the rapid and powerful heartbeat in her ears.
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.
She tried her best to calm her emotions. When she took the plate from Yi Qingchen, she discreetly glanced at him. His face was extremely calm, as if nothing had happened just now. Actually, nothing had happened just now. It was just that he was overthinking things. Ye Ci's heart calmed down a little. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. It was only after she had washed a few plates that she was able to regain her composure.
The light in the kitchen was warm and soft, making the restless scene calm and gentle. Ye Ci looked out of the window as she washed the cutlery handed to her by Yi Qingchen. It was already dark, and the lights in the neighborhood were lit up. They were neatly interspersed in the middle of the green belt, making the fallen leaves of the trees look softer. The children in the neighborhood were dressed in thick winter clothes, holding incense sticks in their hands as they set off the fireworks. Their laughter made the night seem even more joyful.
Ye Ci was mesmerized.
She remembered that she used to do the same when she was young. She would sneak out of the house with a bag of firecrackers after dinner, and set off fireworks with her friends. Of course, her parents would give her a good beating if they found out about it. But she would continue playing after the beating.
"Did you set off firecrackers when you were young?" Yi Qingchen's voice rang out in the peaceful atmosphere. Ye Ci was unable to snap out of her daze. She turned to look at Yi Qingchen's confused expression. Yi Qingchen chuckled at Ye Ci's dazed expression. He raised his foamy finger and pointed at the children outside the window. "Have you ever set off firecrackers like them when you were young?"
"Of course I did!" Ye Ci snapped out of her daze and looked at the children in the courtyard. She chuckled softly, "But I'm sure you'll get beaten up when you get home."
"Why?" Yi Qingchen was surprised, "Because they were afraid that you'd get hurt."
"Yup. But I didn't think so when I was young. I always thought that adults were annoying. And I always sneaked out the next day. " Ye Ci laughed as she recalled her mischievous self. She then looked at Yi Qingchen, "What about you? Have you ever done that? "
"Of course, how could I not?" Yi Qingchen looked at Ye Ci, his enchanting features softening. His upturned almond-shaped eyes were filled with tenderness. He smiled at Ye Ci, "But I rarely get beaten up."
"Ah? You don't get beaten up because you're a boy? " Ye Ci raised an eyebrow in surprise. It was an adorable expression on her face.
"No, that's because I'm good at running. My mom can't outrun me. My dad spoils me. He thinks that it's okay for a boy to get hit by a firecracker. "Yi Qingchen chuckled. His expression softened as he reminisced about his childhood.
"Oh right, it's the 28th day of the new year. Aren't you going back to spend the new year with your parents?" Ye Ci asked.
Yi Qingchen narrowed his almond-shaped eyes, smiling faintly, "Ah ah." He then turned back and looked at the bowl in the sink, carefully washing it. "My mother and father have gone to report to God. I won't be able to spend the new year with them for the time being. "
Ye Ci was stunned. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I really didn't know …"
"You don't have to apologize. They left happily. They died in a car accident on their honeymoon." Yi Qingchen shook his head, interrupting Ye Ci, "They were very close. When they were still alive, they often discussed who would die first. They were always fighting to be the last to die."
"Why?" Ye Ci was puzzled. She was lacking in the emotional aspect. Sometimes, she couldn't understand what was going on in the heads of lovers.
"Actually, the one who is alive is the one who has to suffer. When they die, they don't know anything. However, the one who is alive has to endure endless nights and endless longing." Yi Qingchen smiled, "However, God cares about them. They left together. It's good that there's no loneliness or longing."
Ye Ci listened quietly. She gazed at Yi Qingchen's smiling face. She felt an indescribable melancholy in her heart. "But you were left behind."
Perhaps Ye Ci didn't realize that when she said this, there was a hint of empathy in her voice. Yi Qingchen gazed at Ye Ci's calm face. He smiled and shrugged, "Actually, there's nothing bad about being left behind." Ye Ci raised an eyebrow. Yi Qingchen continued, "If I wasn't left behind, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet you."
Ye Ci opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but her words were stuck in her throat, and she was unable to utter a single word. Her lips twitched, but in the end, she could only turn her face away and focus all her attention on washing the dishes. She thought back to her past life, and the fleeting time in her past life. Fate is a mysterious thing. In her last life, the only time she was close to Fleeting Time was during the PvP tournament, and the outcome of their battle was clear as day. At that time, she was selfish and cold. She had never thought that she would be able to start all over again. She had never thought that she would have anything to do with the man known as the God of Hunters.
But in the end, fate had reshuffled the cards and she had to start all over again. Sometimes, she even wondered if her past life had really existed. Or perhaps, her previous life was just a nightmare that was too real?
After a long time, after thinking for a long time, she finally let out a long breath and said in an indifferent and self-deprecating tone, "Meeting me isn't necessarily a good thing. Overall, I'm not a good person."
Yi Qingchen did not even look at her. He continued to wash the dishes, "So what? So what if you're an unpardonable villain? You're still Ye Ci. What's the point of everything else? "
Ye Ci paused for a moment, and her lips curled into a cold smile, "You're blind." She sneered at Yi Qingchen, "What else do you know apart from my name? So what if you say something else? "
"Why should I know anything else?" Yi Qingchen raised an eyebrow.
"Why shouldn't I? Do you know my personality? Do you know my temper? Do you know how beautiful I am? Do you know how ugly I am? You don't know anything, so what if you say something else? If you're not blind, then you're lying. "Ye Ci calmly and rationally pointed out Yi Qingchen's inconsistencies.
"What does any of this have to do with me liking you?" Yi Qingchen retorted. He did not understand Ye Ci's train of thought, but he felt that it did not matter. When he saw Ye Ci's frown, he gave in and nodded his head, "Alright, it's very much related to you. But I know Gongzi You's personality, I know Gongzi You's temper, I know how beautiful Gongzi You is, and I know how ugly Gongzi You is. Isn't that enough? "
"That's a game! A game and reality are two different things! "Ye Ci did not know what was wrong with her. She was actually trying to convince Yi Qingchen. Convince him of what? Ye Ci did not know either. Perhaps she was trying to convince him that they were not suitable for each other, or perhaps she was trying to convince him to leave after careful consideration. She did not understand what kind of mindset she was in.
"It's because it's a game that it's enough that Gongzi You is Ye Ci." Yi Qingchen shook his head gently. His calmness was a stark contrast to Ye Ci's faint anxiety. He continued in an unhurried tone, "It's because you can hide your real identity in a game that people are more fearless and will magnify their negative side. Isn't this more realistic and allows you to see a person more clearly? But in reality, because everyone is hindered by their real identity, what they see is not necessarily real. White snow in spring and white snow in spring, a commoner is just a layer of skin. If that's the case, why do you care so much about it? "
Ye Ci pursed her lips tightly, her gaze fixed on Yi Qingchen's calm face. In the end, she slowly spat out a cold and rational word, "Stupid."
Yi Qingchen was slightly taken aback, then he laughed softly. His laughter did not stop, as though he had heard something very funny. His deep voice reverberated through his chest. It was indescribably soothing and pleasant to the ears. Ye Ci looked at Yi Qingchen, not knowing if he was angry or not.
Yi Qingchen's laughter stopped after a long while. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he leaned closer to Ye Ci, "That's because I love you." He whispered to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "That's because I love you."
"Bang!" There was a loud bang outside the window. Then, large and dazzling fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky. It was magnificent and magnificent. The colorful lights reflected the night sky and shone into the room, dyeing everyone's body with different colors.
Ye Ci's heart melted as she looked at Yi Qingchen's face. She turned to look out the window, and suddenly felt that the fireworks tonight were truly beautiful.
Yi Qingchen left the city on the 29th of the Lunar New Year.
Ye Ci and Tan Polang stood in the airport, facing the taxiway where the planes were taking off. Ye Ci leaned against the railing, staring blankly at the planes taking off. She did not know which plane Yi Qingchen was in.
"Sister Ye Ci, what do you think of brother Fleeting Time?" Tan Polang stood beside Ye Ci, leaning against the railing as he stared at Ye Ci's calm face.
"What do you mean?" Ye Ci knew what Tan Polang was asking, but she could not be bothered to answer his question.
"That's right, that's right. What do you think of him? Have you ever considered developing a relationship with him in real life?" Tan Polang asked eagerly when he realized that there was a chance.
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes at Tan Polang's anxious expression. She pursed her lips, "What did Yi Qingchen give you in return? Why do I feel like you're no different from a madam in a brothel? "
Tan Polang was stunned. That's right. What did brother Fleeting Time give me in return? I don't think so. But … But … Ye Ci scratched his head and shook his head, "What do you mean? I just think that the two of you are very compatible. You look so good together. And brother Fleeting Time likes you a lot. Wouldn't it be perfect if you could like him as well?"
Ye Ci rolled her eyes at Tan Polang. She stood up and walked away, "Stupid."
"Huh?" "Sister Ye Ci, how can you say that I'm an idiot?" Tan Polang was stunned for a moment. I'm a guaranteed top scorer. I think my IQ is quite high. How can you say that about me? Besides, I don't think that I said anything wrong … "
"I said that Yi Qingchen is stupid." Ye Ci's lips twitched, "Didn't you ask me what I think of him? Then I'll tell you that he's a stupid person. "
"Huh?" Tan Polang was even more confused. He stared at Ye Ci's slender back, and felt that he could no longer understand Chinese. No way! Sister Ye Ci thinks that brother Fleeting Time is stupid! That's … That's …
Ye Ci turned around and glared at Tan Polang, "What are you waiting for? I'm not going to take you with me! " As she spoke, she turned around and walked forward with her hands behind her back. However, a smile appeared on her calm and indifferent face, and that smile grew wider and wider, more and more radiant … … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
