Chapter 1189 : She Was Not His Girlfriend But His Woman
Qin Shu heard from the butler and the female servants who delivered the food that Lan Qi would just sit there in a daze whenever he had nothing to do as if he had something on his mind and was unhappy.
She walked over and sat down opposite Lan Qi.
Lan Qi raised his eyes and looked at Qin Shu, not saying a word.
Qin Shu sized up Lan Qi. He was someone who would put everything on his face. “Are you unhappy?”
Lan Qi thought that he had covered it up very well. “Is it that obvious?”
Qin Shu sighed. “It’s written all over your face. Why are you unhappy? Let’s hear it.”
Lan Qi sighed too. “I can’t level up myself. It’s useless.”
Qin Shu sized up Lan Qi and couldn’t help but laugh. “Level up? Martial art strength? You don’t even have bronze rank on you, of course, you won’t level up.”
Lan Qi said, “It’s not martial art strength, it’s the system upgrade. It’s been stuck there for many years.”
“What do you mean?”
Qin Shu felt that it was a little strange. For the system upgrade?
Lan Qi said to himself, “If my system can upgrade, I can help Jun Li.”
Qin Shu suddenly felt curious, “Help Jun Li with what?”
Lan Qi looked at Qin Shu and shook his head after thinking about it, “You won’t believe me even if I tell you. Anyway, I’m waiting for lunch. After lunch, I’d better go to sleep. I don’t know which day I will be ruined.”
Qin Shu was anxious about Jun Li’s news. When she heard Lan Qi mention Jun Li, she asked, “Tell me, maybe I’ll believe you?”
Lan Qi stared at Qin Shu for a while and hesitated, “Jun Li and I have looked for you several times, but each time we went there in vain and couldn’t change the ending. The main reason is that my system isn’t good. Plus, Jun Li always forgets things, so it was in vain every time we worked.”
Qin Shu felt that she couldn’t understand a single word Lan Qi said. “Where did you go? Why haven’t I seen you before?”
Lan Qi said, “Because every time we went there, you were dead. You died because you lost too much blood. Jun Li saw this scene many times. The first time, he cried. The second time, he cried too. The third time, he didn’t dare to look, but he still cried. The fourth time…I don’t know how many times we went through it. For the last time, he said that the ending couldn’t be changed by relying on him.”
Qin Shu was stunned. That scene was something she didn’t want to remember in her entire life. No matter how painful it was, it was something she didn’t want to experience in her life.
Yet, Jun Li had seen it so many times?
To be able to make a man cry, it must be because he was extremely sad that he used tears to vent his anger.
She suddenly looked at Lan Qi in disbelief. Could he bring Jun Li to the past?
He did all that just to save her?
In other words, they had known each other for a long time?
So, after interacting with each other a few times, he suspected that he knew her?
Lan Qi continued, “It was Jun Li who thought of a way for you to be reborn. He said that after experiencing so much if you were to be reborn, you would see through many things and have the ability of a prophet. In that way, you could save yourself.”
Qin Shu was stunned again. Her eyes widened. It could be described that she was shocked. It was Jun Li who thought of a way for her to be reborn?
This… how did he do it?
She did not know why, but her chest suddenly felt stuffy. It was as if there was a heavy stone on her chest. It was so heavy that she could not breathe. It was extremely uncomfortable.
She was reborn. That was why she believed that such a strange thing had happened.
“Then what method did Jun Li use to make me reborn? Where is he?”
“It seems to be…” Lan Qi thought for a while before saying, “It seems to be borrowing his life, borrowing his own life. It’s quite surreal, but it’s very surreal that he can predict, so there’s no need to be surprised.”
In addition, he was also a product of high-tech 100 years later. He had unintentionally fallen into the parallel space, which was this world.
Lan Qi’s personality was not like this at the beginning. He was a little impulsive. Later, Jun Li changed his character settings to his current personality.
He could bring people through time, but it was not perfect.
In addition to the fact that he left orbit, the system could not receive signals to continue upgrading. Otherwise, he would bring Jun Li back to an earlier time point.
“Borrow life? Borrow his own life to let her be reborn. Could it be that he is using his life to continue her life?”
Qin Shu could not understand what was going on with borrowing her life. More importantly, why would Jun Li help her so much? They did not know each other before.
If they knew each other, how could she not remember?
However, all of these showed that Jun Li knew her. Not only did he know her, but he was very familiar with her too.
She suddenly grabbed Lan Qi’s arm and asked, “Lan Qi, tell me honestly. Did I, Jun Li, know each other before?”
Lan Qi nodded.
Qin Shu was even more confused. “Then why don’t I remember him? My memories have all been restored. Jun Li doesn’t exist in my memories.”
“That’s because you haven’t seen his face. You’ll know when you see him.”
Lan Qi was about to say that his beautiful madam was Jun Li’s cat, but he hesitated as he remembered that Jun Li didn’t want him to say anything.
Jun Li didn’t let him say anything, but he couldn’t help it.
Why couldn’t he say anything?
Wasn’t he doing these things to let others know?
Why did he have to hide it?
Qin Shu still couldn’t understand what Lan Qi meant. She asked, “Tell me clearly, what do you mean I haven’t seen his face?”
At this moment, the female servants brought lunch over. Seeing that Lan Qi was under the grape rack, she placed the food on the Stone Table.
She called out, “Young Madam.”
“I want to eat. If there’s anything, we can talk tomorrow. After eating, I want to take a nap.”
Lan Qi picked up his chopsticks and started eating, not looking at Qin Shu.
He had lived for too long. His body was just like a normal person’s. He could eat. He had a digestive system as well as an emotion.
Qin Shu didn’t want to disturb Lan Qi while he was eating. What she knew today made it difficult for her to digest. She needed time to digest it.
After leaving, Qin Shu was still in a daze. Only now did she know that her rebirth wasn’t an accident, but an act.
It was Jun Li who helped her.
Why didn’t Jun Li tell her?
He didn’t mention so many things.
Not even once.
Now she didn’t even know where he was.
Her chest was so congested that it was difficult for her to breathe.
Borrow his life?
Her life was borrowed from Jun Li’s life.
How on earth did she borrow his life?
Qin Shu returned to her room. She didn’t have an appetite for lunch and kept thinking about the meaning of Lan Qi’s words.
…
Ye Luo had been looking for Jiaojiao for a long time. He was about to flip over the Bright Garden when he finally saw her on the wall.
Jiaojiao’s hair was dishevelled. Her slightly yellow hair looked even more yellow under the sunlight, and her fair skin looked whiter.
Her hair was a little messy because it was rolled under the blanket.
She was wearing his black t-shirt, and her delicate eyebrows were furrowed. She pouted, and it was obvious that she was unhappy.
Ye Luo knew her too well. The reason why she was unhappy was not only because of what happened last night but also because she was hungry. Whenever she was hungry, she would be unhappy.
However, in the past, when she was hungry, she would come down on her own and ask for food from him.
This time, she was sitting on the wall.
Ye Luo shouted, “Come down, I bought you fish porridge.”
Jiaojiao ignored him. She looked at the wall. It was easy to come up, but it was difficult to go down.
Now that she was not a cat, it was inconvenient.
If she could go down, she would have gone down long ago. Why would she need to be exposed to the sun and starve here?
Ye Luo saw that she was not moving and threatened, “If you don’t come down, I will eat all the porridge.”
“No.” Jiaojiao loved fish porridge the most. When she heard that he was going to eat all the porridge, she became anxious. She didn’t care whether she could go down or not. She closed her eyes and jumped down.
The wall was more than three meters high. If she jumped like this, she would be lucky if she just broke her leg and had a brain concussion.
Ye Luo was shocked. He quickly ran over and caught her before she fell to the ground.
It seemed that Ye Luo had martial art strength. Otherwise, one would fall and the other would be injured.
After Ye Luo caught Jiaojiao, he started to size her up and check to see if she was injured. “Are you injured anywhere?”
Jiaojiao was still angry, so she ignored him.
Ye Luo thought that she was still angry about what happened last night, so he said, “I’ll take care of you. Do you hear me?”
Jiaojiao said unhappily, “You think I am troublesome. You think I am eating too much. You think that after I become a human, I won’t sleep with you.”
Ye Luo didn’t know what to say. He was always straightforward. When it came to sleeping, he said, “You’re not my woman, so why do you want to sleep with me?”
Jiaojiao’s temper was like a storm. It came and went even faster.
When Jiaojiao heard that, she suddenly stretched out her arms and grabbed his neck. She said with a smile, “It’s very simple. I can sleep with you if I’m your woman.”
“I’m an idiot. That’s why I’m talking to you about this.”
Ye Luo felt that they were not on the same channel. She simply did not understand what it meant to be his woman.
He carried her and walked towards his courtyard.
Along the way, he attracted countless curious gazes. This was because every time they saw Ye Luo, he was carrying a black cat in his arms. He had never hugged anyone before. Not to mention a woman, he had never even hugged any animals other than cats.
Therefore, when they saw him suddenly hugging a woman, a beautiful girl, they could not help but take a few more glances at him.
“I heard that Ye Luo doesn’t like girls. I think it’s fake. How can a man not like a woman? Look, a 30-year-old man finally can’t take it anymore.” Fu Tingyu looked at Ye Luo and smiled.
A few of the older ones said as they left with smiles.
Wang Ma saw Ye Luo hugging a girl. The girl was fair and clean, and she was pretty, just like those people who thought.
She went up and asked, “Brother Ye, is this your girlfriend?”
JIaojiao giggled and said, “I’m his woman, not his girlfriend.”
“Woman?” Wang Ma saw that the girl was wearing men’s clothes and she recognized it was Ye Luo’s shirt at a glance. She had the experience before. Instantly, she understood the relationship between the two.
“I understand. When are both of you getting married?”
Jiaojiao asked doubtfully, “What do you mean by getting married?”
“Wang Ma, don’t listen to her nonsense.”
Ye Luo’s face darkened as he carried Jiaojiao and strode away.
Wang Ma turned around to take a look and smiled. He was 30 years old and should have had a family long ago. This lady/girl was fair and tender, and her looks were good.
Wang Ma smiled and continued walking.
Jiaojiao raised her head to look at Ye Luo and asked with a smile, “What do you mean by getting married?”
Ye Luo lowered his head to look at Jiaojiao. When he said that she was his woman, he did not blush at all. “Just like Young Madam and the fourth sir, that’s called marriage.”
Jiaojiao nodded as if she understand. “Oh, Qin Shu and Fu Tingyu sleep together every day. They have Xiao Jiu too.”
Ye Luo sighed. He carried her into the room and walked straight into the bathroom. “Come down and brush your teeth.”
Jiaojiao got off him swiftly and waited for Ye Luo to squeeze the toothpaste for her.
When she was a cat, she had the habit of brushing her teeth.
Ye Luo prepared a new toothbrush for her. The previous one was a children’s toothbrush, and the head of the toothbrush was too small.
After squeezing the toothpaste, he handed it to Jiaojiao. She did not reach out to take it but instead looked at Ye Luo with her big, watery eyes. “Help me brush.”
Ye Luo picked up her hand and shoved the toothbrush into her hand. “Brush it yourself. You’re not a child.”
Jiaojiao reached her hand behind her back and said unhappily, “You said you wanted to raise me.”
Ye Luo looked at Jiaojiao hiding her hands and didn’t know what to say. “What does raising you have to do with brushing your teeth?”
Jiaojiao said unhappily, “When I was a cat, you brushed my teeth. If you don’t do that to me now, you don’t want to raise me.”
Ye Luo said, “Cats are different from humans.”
Jiaojiao glared at him.
Ye Luo sighed helplessly and took the toothbrush. “Open your mouth.”
Jiaojiao then smiled and opened her mouth. He put the brush head into his mouth and pressed the switch, only to hear a buzzing sound.
He patiently explained, “If I don’t brush your teeth, I don’t bathe you, I don’t dress you, and I don’t let you sleep with me, it doesn’t mean that I don’t take care of you, understand?”
Jiaojiao took out her toothbrush and said with toothpaste foam in her mouth, “Didn’t you say that I can sleep in the same bed as you when I’m your woman? Does that mean that you can bathe me and dress me when I’m your woman?”
“That’s true, but being a woman is not a matter of words. It’s not as simple as you think.”
Ye Luo felt that he had almost exhausted all his patience in this life. Why didn’t she understand after explaining so much?
Jiaojiao stared at Ye Luo’s lips. His lips were usually slightly darker, but the shape of his lips was very beautiful.
She suddenly stretched out her arms to wrap them around his neck, stood on Tiptoe, and kissed him with her lips that still contained toothpaste foam.
Ye Luo was stunned, and his body stiffened as well.
Jiaojiao kissed him for a while, then pulled back and looked at Ye Luo with anticipation. “Does this count as your woman?”
Ye Luo reacted after a long time. He raised his hand and wiped his lips. There was some toothpaste foam on his lips. It was mint-flavoured. This was the first time she had kissed him.
In the past, some women threw themselves at him. However, once he was fierce, no woman dared to approach him.
In the end, he was kissed by Jiaojiao?
No one noticed that his ears turned red again. “Where did you learn this?”
“I saw Qin Shu kissing Fu Tingyu like this. It’s just that I had toothpaste in my mouth. Otherwise, I could have kissed you for a longer period of time. They were both kissing for a long time before they separated. They were married, so this kind of thing should only be done after marriage, right?”
Her charming smile curved her eyes.
Because she was a cat in the past, she accidentally saw Qin Shu and Fu Tingyu like this.
Ye Luo felt that he should find a place to calm down. She doesn’t do the things she should do but could imitate quickly the things she shouldn’t do.
Jiaojiao urged him, “Ye Luo, you can continue to brush my teeth. I’m hungry.”
Ye Luo focused his mind and brushed her teeth seriously. Just by staring at her, he would think of the way Jiaojiao kissed him just now. Because of the toothpaste, the feeling was a little unreal.
After brushing her teeth, Ye Luo turned on the tap and took a cup of water to rinse her mouth.
Jiaojiao knew how to rinse her mouth and face.
Ye Luo was about to say that he was going out for breakfast when Jiaojiao pounced on him again. She hugged his neck and bit his lips.
…
Yun Si had something to say.
Jun Li kept going back in time to save Qin Shu. The inspiration came from a movie. An old man kept going back in time to stop his girlfriend from getting into a car accident.
Jun Li was indeed a prophet.
Qin Shu borrowed Jun Li’s next life.
This was also what Chao Yan said. They were even. He didn’t want to meet her again in his next life, because he didn’t have the next life.
Rebirth was very mysterious, so Jun Li could help Qin Shu to be reborn.
(Chao Yan’s original name was Jun Li, but the perfect character of Jun Li was a split personality of Chao Yan himself. Both selfless and unselfish personalities who only wanted to be good to Qin Shu.)
However, eventually, the two personalities competed to appear.
