Chapter 1268 - Yes Darling (25)

This was the eighth time her father was revived.

At the start, he was devastated. However, after experiencing it two times, he got used to it. He tried to explain what happened to the Host.

The Host didn’t remember anything.

Her father realized that if a person realized the truth and understood what was happening, they would have the memory of their past life.

Hence, he gave up. Since the ending was the same, he felt that he should just enjoy his life.

“Daughter, don’t you think that we are like the NPCs in a game? We are just NPCs with intelligence. Those that don’t have intelligence will return to their starting points, but we can’t.”

“Maybe,” Ming Shu replied indifferently. “So this ending cannot be averted?”

Her father shrugged. “Look at how many times I have been reset.”

He reset many times and met other people who were reset too. They all knew this secret.

They tried to change the ending, but it still remained the same.

The people who knew still knew. The people who didn’t still didn’t.

Her father was not someone who wanted to save the world and become a hero.

He gave up totally.

He patted Ming Shu’s shoulder. “Daughter, let’s not waste our effort. It’s good to live like this too.”

Ming Shu smiled and nodded. “Yes. You will have to run Du Ji properly then.”

Her father stopped smiling.

Ah! His daughter kept her memory! That meant that he couldn’t throw Du Ji to her anymore!

“Father, do you know the Ye family?”

Her father was thinking about how to run away from Du Ji so he replied without thinking, “The one from the West District? I do…”

He looked up suddenly. “Why are you asking about them? The Ye family spent much effort to try and stop this resetting world. Don’t go and mess around with them.”

She didn’t want to mess around with them, but she had to look for her little demon!

Four years ago…

The little demon should be still at the Ye family.

She just didn’t know if he managed to keep his memory.

…

Four years ago, the protocol for entering the West District was the same. However, Ming Shu managed to get her father’s pass.

The first thing she did after entering the West District was to look for food.

It would be tiring to look for the little demon. She might have to fight with people so she needed to store more energy in her body.

The West District was prosperous.

When Ming Shu finished eating, the sun had set. The sky turned dark and the West District got more lively.

This was the difference between the East District and the West District.

In the East District, no one would be on the streets at night.

However, in the West District, the night was when the party started.

It was easy to find the Ye family. Ming Shu looked up at the extravagantly carved iron gate. As expected of one of the wealthiest families in the West District.

How should she go in?

Ming Shu pulled up her sleeves and… rang the doorbell.

It was tiring to climb the wall. She would not do it if she had the choice.

If the other party didn’t let her in, she would climb the wall.

However, the other party didn’t give her the chance to do it.

She was invited into the living room politely by the servant.

This was reasonable. She spread rumors all over the media in her past life. Since the Ye family wanted to stop the world from resetting, they would definitely know who she was.

The living room was so bright it was like daytime. A man over the age of 50 sat on the sofa. He looked at her intently. “I heard that you are looking for Ye Ji.”

This was the lady that spoke those words in the past life.

Ming Shu nodded.

The man sized her up expressionlessly. “How did you know him?”

“I just know him.” Ming Shu smiled. “He’s my boyfriend.”

The man: “…”

The man remained silent for a moment. “Come with me.”

Ming Shu was surprised at how easy it was to speak to the people of the Ye family. Hence, she remained vigilant when she followed the man.

He didn’t do anything to her along the way.

But…

Ming Shu looked through the glass window. Ye Ji was lying on a white bed. The device beside him showed that his heart was beating steadily.

“Ye Ji will wake up one year from now,” the man said. “If you want to visit him, you need to be disinfected first.”

“What happened to him?”

“Car accident,” the man said calmly. “The time only reset after his car accident. He will wake up one year from now and pass away four years later. Nothing could change his ending.”

…

The room was spacious. Only the sound from the device was heard.

Ming Shu wore insulation garments and entered the room. Ye Ji looked very young now. There was no arrogance on him.

Ming Shu just looked at him.

When she left the ward, the man was waiting for her.

The man led Ming Shu back to the living room. “You are Jiang Xue?”

This name was not only widely discussed by the public, but he had also heard her name along with Ye Ji’s name many times.

“Yes.”

“Even if Ye Ji is awake, he might not remember you,” the man said. “He might be like the other people in this world who don’t know the truth. They will be stuck in this cycle and keep experiencing the same things over and over again.”

Ming Shu smiled gently. She sounded confident. “If it’s him, he will remember.”

The man frowned. Ming Shu didn’t know if he was unhappy at her confidence or if it was because of other things.

He looked at Ming Shu and said clearly, “Miss Jiang Xue, do you have anything to say about why we are stuck in this cycle?”

“I’m not the one who can break this cycle. My words are useless.”

The man’s eyes lit up. “Does that mean that you know who can break this cycle?”

“Yes.” Ming Shu smiled sweetly at the man. “But I won’t tell you.”

Most stories stopped after the protagonist won.

Yi Xi would destroy the East District and become the hero of the West District. This was her ending.

However, this world hadn’t ended.

There must be a reason why the female protagonist existed. This setting was obviously prepared for the female protagonist.

“Miss Jiang Xue, don’t you want to end this cycle?”

Ming Shu smiled brightly. “This is like having longevity. Why aren’t you happy that you won’t die?”

Isn’t this what most people wanted?

The man: “…”

Anyone who kept repeating the same years of their life would get sick of it soon.

After working so hard, their life would be reset to the starting point. What was the use of working hard then?

“Miss Jiang Xue, if you change your mind, you are welcome to join us.” The man seemed tired. He looked into the emptiness and said in a lonely voice, “Our lives shouldn’t be like this.”

The man got up to send Ming Shu out. Just as they walked out of the living room, a servant ran toward them.

“Master, Young Master is awake.”

The man looked at the servant in disbelief. “Why?”

He should wake up one year from now…
