Chapter 1270 - Yes Darling (27)
Chapter 1270: Yes Darling (27)
“Miss Jiang Xue, did we really return to four years ago?” Lu Ning couldn’t believe this.
“Look in the mirror and see if this is you four years ago.”
Lu Ning had already looked at the mirror.
She was just unable to believe that such a strange thing happened.
They were still discussing how true this was and the next moment, they were reset.
“Why… why did we get reset?”
Ming Shu thought about it carefully. “Maybe the internet speed in the gods’ world is not good and the game went offline.”
Lu Ning: “…”
She wasn’t in the mood to joke.
“Miss Jiang Xue, based on what we said last time, we shouldn’t have our previous memory. Why… do I still remember everything?”
She tested the people around her. None of them remembered anything.
Only her…
Ming Shu said sweetly, “Because you’re special.”
“Special? Am I extremely unlucky?”
“Erm…” Was Lu Ning unlucky? Ming Shu didn’t notice her much. However, most female protagonists were unlucky.
Ming Shu pursed her lips and smiled. “This is a kind of talent too. Unluckiness is the mother of all luck.”
All the female protagonists were unlucky at the start, but they had a good ending.
Nothing wrong with that!
This was the path a female protagonist should take!
Lu Ning: “…” Why did she feel like Jiang Xue was coaxing a child?!
Lu Ning played with her fingers. “What is the purpose of resetting the world? Do we have to continue this cycle forever? This world… is it a real world? Am I dreaming?”
If it was a dream, it was a long and unnatural dream.
Ming Shu suddenly asked, “Is there anything wrong with your card?”
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment. She became vigilant.
She hesitated for a moment. She was thinking if she should trust Ming Shu.
In the end, she took out her card.
Name: Lu Ning
Remaining lifespan: 1 day
Highest age: 17 years old
It looked the same as other lifespan cards.
But the remaining lifespan…
“You will die tomorrow?”
Although she got this conclusion from the card, she still felt weird saying it.
Lu Ning’s mouth corners twitched. “I turned 18 years old one month ago.
Lu Ning continued, “The remaining lifespan will not change.”
In her memory, she met an accident when she was 17 years old. She almost died in the accident.
Even the doctor said that it was a miracle she was still alive.
From that day onwards, the remaining lifespan in her card never changed.
Du Ji did this kind of business so Ming Shu saw many cards before. All the cards they saw were normal.
Reality proved that there was a special group of people who had different cards.
Maybe…
It had something to do with the accident?
Ming Shu took out a Du Ji bank card and swiped it on Lu Ning’s card. A light shone on the card.
The number 1 wanted to change to 2. However, it didn’t manage to.
Ming Shu: “…”
Ming Shu looked at her bank card. The lifespan in it was gone.
“This is a different form of longevity,” Ming Shu suddenly exclaimed.
Lu Ning: “…”
Ming Shu put down the card. The two cards were stuck together. A flash of light was seen again. Ming Shu noticed that the lifespan on the bank card had returned to its original number.
Ming Shu: “…”
As expected of the female protagonist. Even her health bar was different from other people’s.
Lu Ning saw it too. “What… what happened?”
“It must be thinking that the lifespan in this card is too little.” Ming Shu spouted nonsense.
She thought about the strange flash of light… she suddenly felt that this might be the truth.
Lu Ning had a discussion with Ming Shu, but nothing useful came out of it.
“Young girl, the world depends on you.”
Lu Ning: “???”
What is this!
…
Ming Shu’s father ran away.
Ming Shu got this news three days after the reset.
He ran away without any warning.
He didn’t even leave a message for her.
Ming Shu only received a message from her father the next day. Du Ji was passed to her just like this.
Ming Shu: “…”
She became the Young Miss of Du Ji again. Soon, she met Assistant He.
As compared to the able and efficient Assistant He four years from now, the Assistant He now was just a rash and passionate youth.
He managed to enter Du Ji because of luck. Ming Shu looked at him and appointed him as her assistant. She passed all the necessary work to him.
The newly appointed Assistant He: “???”
Things were going according to the Host’s memory.
Lu Ning came to find Ming Shu a few times. In the end, Ming Shu started to find her irritating. Lu Ning didn’t know how to cook. If she knew, she might have the patience to sit down and discuss the truth with her.
Unfortunately, she didn’t. Hence, Ming Shu introduced Father Ye to Lu Ning.
After that, she started spreading rumors on the internet, but it was not as large-scale as the last time.
Based on what they said, the reset normally happened after the war between the East District and West District ended.
However, this time, it reset before the war ended. She felt that it might be related to her actions.
…
On the weekend…
Father Ye sent Ming Shu and Ye Ji a message. He invited them to come back for a dinner party.
The main person he wanted to invite was Ye Ji. Ming Shu was just accompanying him.
Ye Ji was still the son of the Ye family. It wouldn’t be good if he didn’t attend the dinner party.
The dinner party was held at the Ye family. It seemed to be one of the elders’ birthday.
The moment Ye Ji appeared, he was pulled away by Father Ye and they started talking among themselves.
Ming Shu saw Lu Ning at the dinner party. She walked toward her. “How is it going? Have you found a way to save the world?”
Lu Ning turned around in shock. Ming Shu smiled at her.
Lu Ning pulled her toward a corner.
“The Ye family has been doing research for a long time. They knew that there are many different types of cards. I heard that someone’s card had a negative lifespan but the person was still alive. However, they are not sure how these special cards came about.
“They came up with many hypotheses on why the world resets but after experimenting with them, none of them were true…”
Lu Ning continued, “I didn’t know that so many people knew that truth.”
After interacting with the Ye family, Lu Ning realized that the people in the Ye family were all very humble. They were not extremists, either. They just wanted to find the truth.
Ming Shu held a plate of snacks. “So what are your findings?”
Lu Ning smiled bitterly. “The Ye family researched for a long time but reached no conclusion…”
Ming Shu had a bite of her food. She mumbled, “You are different.”
Lu Ning: “…”
Why is she so confident that I’m special?
How am I different?
Is it because… she knows what will happen in the future?
But she didn’t know about the resetting of the world…
“Lu Ning!”
A sweet voice sounded when Lu Ning was talking to Ming Shu.
A beautiful and confident lady walked toward them with two of her friends.
Before Lu Ning could say anything, the lady pushed Lu Ning. Lu Ning was caught off guard. She tripped over her high heels and fell back.
Ming Shu quickly caught her. The table filled with wine glasses was just an inch away from her back. Almost…
Lu Ning grabbed Ming Shu’s waist and pulled herself up.
“Thank… thank you.” Lu Ning was still in shock.
“It’s my pleasure.”
“Lu Ning, how dare you wear my dress!” the lady said with contempt. “How can someone from the East District wear my dress? You are not worthy enough.”
“This is…”
The lady interrupted Lu Ning’s explanation.
“Low-level people will forever be low-level. People from the East District are so disgusting. Did you steal my clothes because you want to seduce someone?”
The lady spoke loudly so most of the people around them heard her.
The lady got more confident. She pointed at Lu Ning with her manicured finger. “Even if you wear my clothes, you’re just a joke. Rubbish will forever be rubbish.”
She didn’t care where Lu Ning got this dress from. She just needed a reason to scold her.
“She is from the East District?”
“Oh my god. Why is someone from the East District here?”
“I stood near her just now. I need to change my clothes immediately.”
“She stole someone’s clothes? The people from the East District are indeed thieves. We should stop anyone from the East District from coming over to the West District.”
“Last time, someone almost got his lifespan snatched by a person from the East District… this is so scary.”
The crowd around them started discussing among themselves. The lady raised her chin. “Take off her clothes!”
Lu Ning’s expression was turning bad. The moment the lady said this, her face turned pale.
Most of the people from the Ye family were all right. But…
This person was the youngest daughter of the Ye family. She was the granddaughter of the elder who was celebrating his birthday today. During other times, she was the little princess of the Ye family.
After Ye Tong finished speaking, the two ladies beside her closed in on Lu Ning.
The people around them looked at Lu Ning in anticipation. They seemed to be enjoying the show.
Humiliating the people from the East District was their hobby.
Lu Ning trembled with rage. “Miss Ye, I’ve never offended you…”
She knew that Ye Tong didn’t like her so she never got out of the laboratory. That way, she would not have to meet Ye Tong.
Ye Tong looked down on her. “Your presence offends me.”
One of her friends tried to grab Lu Ning.
“Ahh…”
The lady screamed in pain.
Ming Shu was grabbing her wrist. The lady’s face had turned hideous due to the pain.
Ming Shu smiled and said gently, “You can try and touch her.”
