Chapter 1265: Yes Darling (22)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On a street in the East District...
Lu Ning leaned against the wall and sat down. There were people resting around her. Some were injured and those that knew some medical skills helped with their wounds.
“Sister Lu Ning, do you want some food?”
Ban Lan gave Lu Ning a bag of biscuits.
Lu Ning didn’t feel like eating. Blood and death caused her to lose her appetite. “Give it to them.”
“Sister Lu Ning, eat some.” Ban Lan opened the packet of biscuits and placed it beside Lu Ning’s mouth. “The most important thing now is to conserve energy.”
Lu Ning swallowed her words of rejection. She took the biscuits and had a bite.
Ban Lan sat beside her. “Sister Lu Ning, why did things turn out this way?”
“I want to know that too.” Why did it become like this?
Ban Lan lowered his head. His voice was muffled. “They said that Du Ji was the cause of all this. Sister Lu Ning, do you think so too?”
Lu Ning was at a loss. She muttered, “I don’t know... this world...”
Ban Lan said, “That time, Du Ji sent many weapons over... however, they retreated after a while. I heard that the Du Ji headquarters is very safe... Sister Lu Ning, shall we go there?”
Ban Lan applied to work at the wall and fortunately, he was selected.
He was a hardworking person so the boss took him under his wing.
Ban Lan felt that Du Ji wanted to protect the district at the start.
But, for some reason, they gave up.
Lu Ning gathered her strength and took out an old map.
“We are here.” She pointed to a certain spot on the map. “Du Ji is here. Based on the recent news, the streets around Du Ji have been cleared. The Du Ji headquarters is like an island now...”
She paused and sighed. “There is not much chance that we will be able to arrive there safely. Also, even if we managed to reach the headquarters, they might not help us.”
Until now, Lu Ning was not sure why the East District and the West District started fighting.
She was not sure how true the rumors were.
Ban Lan was disappointed by what Lu Ning said.
Bang bang bang—
Gunshots sounded in the night. It was extremely clear.
“A huge army of troops is coming toward us!”
The person on watch shouted at them.
“Get up!” Lu Ning immediately stood up. “Those that are not hurt, help the injured people.”
...
Night at the East District was not peaceful. Gunshots could be heard everywhere.
Ming Shu placed a bed in her office. Ye Ji was lying on the bed currently and looking at the moonlight.
He tilted his body and looked at the person sitting in front of the office desk. “Darling, come over here.”
Ming Shu didn’t want to move, but Ye Ji kept pestering her. She had no choice but to go over with her snacks. “What?”
Ye Ji hugged Ming Shu tightly. “Nothing. I just want to hug you.”
Ming Shu: “...”
Ming Shu repositioned herself so that she could still enjoy her food when Ye Ji hugged her.
Ming Shu took a small piece of her food and fed Ye Ji.
Ye Ji purposely sucked her finger. He used his tongue and licked it.
“Darling, what are you going to do after this?”
“I don’t know,” Ming Shu said honestly, “I will just make it up as I go.”
Ye Ji choked. “You never think about your next step?”
“Why must I think about it?” Ming Shu found it funny. “Change is the only constant. I’m willing to be the change!”
Ye Ji replied, “If they isolate Du Ji, how are you going to feed so many people?”
Ming Shu blinked. She had a system so she would not get hungry. Hence, she forgot about this problem.
Ming Shu thought about it carefully. “Nevermind, we can steal from the West District. They are wealthy anyway.”
Ye Ji: “...”
This is the solution you arrived at after pondering carefully?
Are you kidding me!
“With your intelligence, you shouldn’t think about all this. Hurry up and sleep.”
Ming Shu pressed Ye Ji back onto the bed.
Ye Ji: “???” What’s wrong with my intelligence?!
What does this have to do with intelligence!
Don’t think that I will not get angry at you just because you are my darling!
I have a temper too!
Ye Ji asked with frustration, “Are you not sleeping?”
“Later.”
“Give me a kiss then.”
Ming Shu: “...”
I’d throw everything in my hands at you if what I’m holding were not food.
...
Ming Shu waited for Ye Ji to fall asleep. The gunshots seemed to be getting nearer.
After a while, Ming Shu confirmed that this was not her imagination. The gunshots were really getting nearer.
Ye Ji seemed disturbed by the sound. Ming Shu took out Little Beastie and placed it beside him.
Little Beastie clawed Ming Shu’s hand.
Trash-picker, you are going overboard!
I took care of you every day and now, you want me to take care of this furless, ugly two-legged beast too? Why!
Ming Shu passed it her unfinished snacks.
Little Beastie: “...”
Hmph!
Don’t think that you can bribe me just like this!
Delicious...
Little Beastie blocked the sound from Ye Ji. Ming Shu asked it to stay in the office. She got up and went out.
The moment Ming Shu left, Ye Ji opened his eyes.
He saw Little Beastie with its cheeks stuffed with food.
Little Beastie stared at Ye Xi with its round, black eyes.
Its fur glowed gently.
No one spoke.
Little Beastie: “...”
Trash-picker! This bastard is pretending to be asleep!
Little Beastie complained to Ming Shu.
Ye Ji felt that Little Beastie looked like Ming Shu when it was eating. They were both cute.
However, Little Beastie’s attitude toward him...
Was not cute at all.
Ming Shu was just outside the office so when she heard Little Beastie, she immediately went back in.
Ye Ji didn’t have the time to close his eyes.
“Why are you awake?”
Ye Ji sat up. “I can’t sleep without you.”
Ming Shu: “...”
Ming Shu brought Ye Ji out. The people outside were discussing the gunshots.
Little Beastie shrunk in Ye Ji’s palm. It was furry and soft. Ye Ji squeezed it and played around with it. Little Beastie was so angry it bit him.
But, it didn’t dare to bite him too hard. Trash-picker would give me less food if I hurt this two-legged beast. I will not give her the chance to do it! Hmph!
“Young Miss, look at this.” Assistant He stood by the window. He passed a pair of binoculars to Ming Shu.
There were two groups of people among the buildings ahead of them.
The group running away was at a disadvantage. Their opponent was a bunch of well-trained soldiers.
The people being chased were in a flurry. Some got separated at forked roads so the group got smaller and smaller.
Ming Shu put down the binoculars. “Send someone to reinforce them.”
“Huh?”
Last time, before the streets around Du Ji were cleared, many people came to seek help, but Young Miss just ignored them.
Today...
Why did she want to reinforce these people?
Assistant He was puzzled. However, since Young Miss gave this order, he hurriedly equipped a small team with weapons and sent them out.
The people in the main hall heard the commotion and gathered around.
Very soon, the small team came back. The soldiers that were chasing the group of people saw that they entered Du Ji’s territory. They lingered outside for a short while before leaving unwillingly.
Ban Lan panted heavily. Before he regained his breath, he looked for Lu Ning. “Sister Lu Ning, how are you?”
“I’m... I’m fine.” Lu Ning’s voice revealed her current condition.
