Chapter 218 The Overlord Insists on Using Me as Bai Yueguang’s Stand-in (106)
"For me?" When Zhong Ying heard this, she couldn't help but sneer as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
She stared at Ye Haotian in front of her with wide eyes, her gaze seemed to see through his skin and into his deepest thoughts.
Then, she took big strides and walked straight towards Ye Haotian without hesitation, with anger and determination in every step. She grabbed his finger to open the fingerprint combination lock, and then pulled open the drawer next to the desk.
Ye Haotian's forehead suddenly jumped.
He had no time to stop Zhong Ying's actions.
Zhong Ying seemed to have generated countless strength in her body. She forcefully opened the wooden box in the drawer, and a few things fell out of it.
Two consecutive movie tickets.
Zhong Ying's fingers holding the movie ticket trembled slightly. Her eyes were red as she questioned, "I didn't know that after I left, you were willing to go to a place like a public movie theater just to accompany her!"
"What is this?" Zhong Ying shook out a lot of theater tickets. These tickets were specially customized for "Growth" and were different from tickets for other dramas.
Different locations.
Different times.
Same play.
Except for the earliest show where we sat in the first row, the rest of the seats were in the corners, as if they were afraid of being discovered by the people on the stage.
Zhong Ying was so heartbroken that she actually laughed. She looked at the dozen or so tickets and thought it was ridiculous. She glanced at Ye Haotian's trembling fingers and said, "You've watched so many shows. Do you like this play, or do you like Ni Fang as a person?"
The box is not big and there is not much in it.
Because these are the only common memories between Ye Haotian and Ni Fang.
The reason why Ye Haotian put them into the wooden box was to seal up the memories. He was ready to spend his life with Zhong Ying, and he didn't want to let other emotions destroy his rationality.
When "Growth" was performed, he asked his secretary to buy tickets for every show in advance. Then, dressed in full armor, he walked to the corner of the box after the show started.
He no longer had the energy to delve into whether he still had feelings for Ni Fang, because once the thought began to spread, he was afraid that he would become the sinner who opened Pandora's box.
But now, Zhong Ying laid everything out on the table, and as she asked questions one after another, Ye Haotian suddenly wanted to admit that he liked Ni Fang and that he still missed her to this day.
But when Ye Haotian saw the sapphire necklace hanging around Zhong Ying's neck, all the voices in his head instantly disappeared.
He couldn't do anything to let Zhong Ying down.
The person in front of me is the girl I have liked since I was five years old.
The memories between him and Zhong Ying filled his entire youth.
He knew that Zhong Ying was selfish, that Zhong Ying needed a lot of love and a sense of security, that Zhong Ying was not as strong as she appeared, that Zhong Ying was sick, that Zhong Ying was not kind, and that Zhong Ying would always have the arrogance and indifference, selfishness and hypocrisy of the elite class.
He knew that Zhong Ying was such a person, didn't he?
He obviously...
That's the kind of person he is, isn't it?
It was Ni Fang. She brought another world into his life, just like a blizzard sweeping across the Siberian plains. The biting cold wind whistled past, and in an instant, his world was covered with such white snow.
It's brand new again.
His new world is full of neon shadows.
Is he going to blame Zhong Ying for still standing there?
Is he qualified to blame Zhong Ying for staying where she is?
"Ye Haotian! You've changed! You are no longer the person who held my hand under the starry sky and shouted that you would marry me in the future! Where is the sixteen-year-old Ye Haotian! Give him back to me!"
Zhong Ying cried and hit Ye Haotian hard on the chest.
One question after another, one blame after another.
Ye Haotian was speechless.
He is twenty-six years old this year, and ten years have passed since he was sixteen.
Human beings are creatures that often indulge in memories. Perhaps sometimes they will suddenly miss the past and lament what great things they did when they were young.
But memories are just memories. They do not occupy the body of a 28-year-old, but instead pursue the truth of a 16-year-old soul.
Ye Haotian hugged Zhong Ying, trying to calm her down. He spoke slowly, but every word was firm, "You are sick, I will help you get better, trust me, okay?"
These words seemed to have brought back Zhong Ying's sanity. She hugged Ye Haotian like a drowning person hugging a piece of driftwood, and cried out, "Don't abandon me... My life is counting down... I can't bear the loss!"
Ye Haotian also felt heartbroken. He put his hand on the back of Zhong Ying's head, feeling the sound of her heartbeat. "Okay, I will stay with you until you get better."
Ye Haotian glanced downward and saw the opened wooden box fell to the ground with its mouth wide open.
There is a story about Pandora in ancient Greek mythology.
In order to avenge Prometheus who stole fire from mankind, Zeus, the king of gods, decided to create new disasters for mankind. Zeus gave Pandora a magic box filled with various disasters and misfortunes, and told her not to open the box. Pandora, out of curiosity, finally couldn't help but open the magic box. Greed, hypocrisy, slander, jealousy, and pain rushed out of the box. Pandora was so scared that she quickly closed the box, but left the "hope" that had not been released in time in the box.
At this moment, the wooden box fell to the ground with its mouth wide open.
Ye Haotian thought, hopefully it should have flown out by now.
He didn't want to worry about who he liked in the past and who he liked now. The word "like" was no longer that important to Ye Haotian.
He only hopes that he can accompany Zhong Ying to get better, or to complete the last journey of her life.
Then, he rushed into a blizzard in his life.
But this does not mean that he can turn a blind eye to what Zhong Youlin and Zhong Ying did. He knew that money could not make up for all the mistakes, but he still couldn't help but transfer 10 million US dollars to Ni Fang.
Ni must be in great need of this money now, Ye Haotian thought.
