Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 4: The Decision of Reincarnation Fate
"Sigh..." Such a long sigh was heard in the dark room for the nth time. Ping Lili curled up in the corner of the bed with her knees hugged, staring at .
The previous passionate drama came to an abrupt end when she blurted out those words that ruined the mood. After hearing her words, Mo Yi's pupils shrank slightly, and he stopped all his movements instantly. He was silent for a long time, and the pair of black eyes that she was staring at began to evade a little.
After a while, he slowly stood up and walked to the window, turned his back to her and whispered, "It's too late, go to rest."
From beginning to end, he never looked back at her.
Ping Lili hugged her knees in frustration and buried her head between them, thinking with some annoyance that asking such a depressing question at such a confused and passionate moment would probably be the same reaction for anyone.
The person Mo Yi loves is Yao Ji, and the object of his infatuation is also Yao Ji. He is just a substitute, because he is the reincarnation of Yao Ji, and Yao Ji's body had been annihilated five hundred years ago, so his emotions that have nowhere to be released naturally fall on himself as the reincarnation of Yao Ji.
Although she was the one being kissed by Mo Yi at that moment, she clearly saw Yao Ji, not herself, in Mo Yi's eyes at that moment.
Perhaps in Mo Yi's mind, Yinglili and Yao Ji are the same person, there is no difference.
But Ping Lili clearly understood that they were not. Even though she now possessed Yao Ji's memories, Yao Ji's power, and everything of Yao Ji, she was still Ping Lili.
She admitted that she fell in love with Mo Yi, but she loved this person as Ping Lili, rather than simply inheriting Yao Ji's emotions.
Therefore, she hoped that Mo Yi could face her with the same attitude. She hoped that he could know from the bottom of his heart that the girl he was hugging and kissing was Ying Lili, instead of ignorantly and confusedly regarding her as the woman from five hundred years ago, or a substitute for that woman.
This is very important, and this is what Pinglili inexplicably insists on.
Ping Lili's fingers gently brushed across her lips that were swollen from Mo Yi's kiss, and her expression was slightly frightened...
I had so many thoughts in my mind that I couldn’t sleep all night.
The relationship between Ping Lili and Mo Yi seemed to have changed quietly overnight, becoming somewhat subtly awkward.
Mo Yi never mentioned anything about returning to the Xu Ming Realm, and his attitude towards Ying Lili became somewhat stiff, even deliberately cold and evasive.
But living under the same roof, such behavior was naturally noticed by Jinglili very quickly. After Jinglili found that Mo Yi cleverly avoided her several attempts to find something to say, she felt a little angry. She thought to herself, Mo Yi, even if you know that you kissed the wrong person, you shouldn't show it so obviously, right?
childish!
It's no wonder that Yan Lili reacted like this. She's a girl. She should be the one who suffered on that impulsive night, right? It was you, Mo Yi, who took the initiative, and it was you, Mo Yi, who took advantage. Now you're just taking advantage of me and turning your back on me. What kind of thing is this?
Well, although Ping Lili was embarrassed to admit that she was actually a beneficiary, she did not dislike Mo Yi's kisses and touches deep down. She was even a little intoxicated and actually looked forward to what would happen afterwards.
Ping Lili is not a casual girl. She is different from her peers in being cautious about matters between men and women. However, from another perspective, she is also a free and easy person. If the other party is Mo Yi, she thinks she should be willing to give everything she has to him.
But Mo Yi's current attitude deeply hurt Ping Lili's self-esteem as a girl.
At that moment, she was actually deeply jealous of her previous life Yao Ji. She thought, if the woman who asked that question was Yao Ji, Mo Yi would not have hesitated at all. Thinking of this, Ping Lili felt that the tip of her heart was stabbed by a needle again.
Thinking of Yao Ji, the other thing that had been stuck in his heart was about to come out. Mo Yi had been deliberately avoiding that matter these days, which surprised Ying Lili. Did she blame him wrongly? The reason why he was looking for her to protect her in the beginning was not to bring her back to the virtual world, awaken Yao Ji's consciousness, take back Yao Ji's power and then remove the curse?
Why did he stop after she took the initiative to bring it up? What was he hesitating about?
Ying Lili was a straightforward person. Since she couldn't figure it out, she just threw the question out. She took a few quick steps and grabbed Mo Yi's clothes from behind. When Mo Yi looked back in surprise, Ying Lili opened her pure eyes again, stared at Mo Yi steadily, and seriously repeated her previous decision: "Tell me, how to return to the virtual world?"
This was the same question as his previous one, which made Mo Yi burst out laughing, yet he also felt extremely bitter.
Why did she do this? She had to lead herself down a path of no return!
Seeing how persistent she was, Mo Yi felt that she had been looking for trouble these days. Did she know how entangled she had been these days? She thought that the Underworld was so easy, thinking that she could easily get back Yao Ji's power as long as she went back, but it was because she didn't understand the dangers of that world. She didn't know the conspiracy and power hidden behind those twists and turns of the past.
But just because Ping Lili doesn’t understand doesn’t mean Mo Yi doesn’t understand either.
In fact, Mo Yi himself is also very confused now . He doesn't know whether his feelings for the woman in front of him are because of Yao Ji or because of her. However, subconsciously, the desire to protect her in his heart is becoming stronger and stronger, so he dare not make the final decision.
If it was before that night, or if nothing happened afterwards, perhaps Mo Yi could have made up his mind to take her back without hesitation, just like the decision he made in front of Zhuo Wei before, but after that, everything changed.
In fact, the reason why Mo Yi remained silent and stopped that night was not what Gong Lili had guessed, that is, he regarded her as Yao Ji or a substitute for Yao Ji. In fact, Mo Yi knew very well the identity of the woman in front of him, but he couldn't help himself.
Faced with Ping Lili's honesty and tolerance, faced with the pair of golden-brown eyes that stared at him without reservation, faced with the pretty face that had haunted him for hundreds of years, everything made him unable to control himself.
Perhaps a man's reason and emotion are all in one thought. Even someone as deep as Mo Yi can have times when his emotions get out of control.
Therefore, when Ping Lili said that sentence in a depressing way, she pulled Mo Yi's out-of-control sanity back to his mind.
Mo Yi actually didn't regret what he had done. He knew better than anyone who he wanted at the time. It was just that he was a little scared and at a loss. He knew what Jing Lili wanted, but he was afraid that he couldn't give it to her. In other words, could he give it to her? Was he qualified?
Can he let go of the past five hundred years ago and say goodbye to Yao Ji? After knowing everything Yao Ji had done for him, can he really abandon her so easily?
Mo Yi had no answer, so he subconsciously chose to escape.
Escape from the chaotic emotions in his heart and avoid the dilemma he has to make.
However, Ying Lili did not give him a chance to escape. As if she saw his hesitation and struggle in his eyes, she subconsciously straightened her spine, raised her head and proudly faced him. She used her persistence and courage to make the final decision for him: "Mo Yi, you can't protect me forever. Instead of this, why not let me go and let me face my own destiny."
This sentence was like a flash of lightning, illuminating Mo Yi who was in the abyss of confusion. He looked at the serious face of Ping Lili in front of him in astonishment. He did not expect that this woman was stronger and more determined than he imagined.
However, Mo Yi thought in his heart with some disappointment that this woman, like Yao Ji back then, chose to face her own fate instead of staying peacefully under his protection.
Is this a blessing or a curse for both of them?
Perhaps, this was fate, the fate of their entanglement for generations. Since he was not sure that he could protect her for a lifetime, he might as well accompany her to face the unknown fate. In this way, perhaps he would not be ashamed of those who were in the underworld.
Mo Yi slowly closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, his dark pupils were clear and bright. He finally made the final decision.
"Get ready. I'll tell you how to get back to the Underworld later."
