Ye Ling had considered that the person who would follow her might be Wen Mengxia, Mo Di, or even Ye Jinyan and Ye Tianfei.
But when Ye Jingyan uttered the name You Ziming, she froze.
Ye Jingyan said, "While you were enjoying your time with Lao San and the others, he had a deep conversation with me and Wen Yanchen. You should have sensed his thoughts. This person's background, abilities, and character are all impeccable; otherwise, he wouldn't be so highly regarded by my uncle."
What I mean is, you can consider this person. He's at a different level and has different strengths than Bo Xuan, and in some areas, his identity is more useful than Bo Xuan's.
Although with your current strength, you don't need to use your status to suppress others; you can do whatever you want, and they can't do anything about it. But Lingling, sometimes you can't solve things with force; that will leave hidden dangers.
Utilize external forces whenever possible; this is called using someone else's strength against them. Not only can you achieve your goal, but you also avoid leaving any hidden dangers. The team is eager to be used by you; his current fear is that he will lose his usefulness to you.
He's different from Wen Yanchen. Once Wen Yanchen is sure of his feelings, he'll shamelessly take the initiative. But Captain You isn't like that. In other aspects, he's a tough soldier, but when it comes to love, he's a shy man.
It must have been incredibly difficult for him to express his love for you in front of so many people. But even so, he didn't back down and tried his best to show you his tender side.
Ye Ling: "..."
She said, rather speechless, "Ye Jingyan, do you know that the way you are right now is very much like an understanding empress helping me choose a concubine?"
Ye Jingyan: "...Really?"
Ye Ling affirmed, "You do!"
He then countered, "Ye Jingyan, I'm curious, you let me accept so many men, aren't you jealous? Do you really love me?"
Even though she had read many novels featuring male protagonists, she had never seen a man like him who spoke of the good qualities of other men in front of his woman, trying to persuade her to accept other men.
Is he really that magnanimous?
Can you actually redeem a character?
Answer: No!
If she finds out that her man is flirting with or engaging in intimate behavior with other women, she will divorce him immediately, no matter how much she likes him.
She gets angry just thinking about it, let alone when it actually happens.
Ye Jingyan looked down at her, his expression serious and sad: "Whether you believe it or not, I love you to the point of madness, and I'm so jealous that I can't eat."
Ye Ling asked, puzzled, "Then why did you do this? I can't stand you being ambiguous with other women."
The thought of him seeing other women made her want to kill him.
Ye Jingyan hugged her: "Because I love you, because I don't want to lose you, that's why I forced myself to let you accept other men."
Ye Ling's nose tingled, and she murmured, "Fool, even without other men, I will find other ways to solve this. It's not that I can't live without a man."
"But that would cause you a lot of pain."
He would never forget the scene of their first time. In order to suppress the evil energy in her body, she was bleeding all over and her whole body was about to break apart.
She could tolerate it, but he couldn't.
How much pain must she have been in to bleed all over? She was as fragile as a piece of paper back then; she would have died at the slightest touch.
He can't afford to gamble!
He would rather she have other men by her side than lose her.
Ye Ling wrapped her arms around his waist and chuckled, "Ye Jingyan, you really are a... idiot."
Ye Jingyan's chest trembled slightly: "You're the first person to call me an idiot. Lingling, you just take advantage of how much I spoil you, so you dare to say anything."
Ye Ling chuckled: "Am I wrong? You're just a fool, pushing your own woman away."
Ye Jingyan: "......"
He sighed and resignedly said, "Fine, you call me an idiot, then I'm an idiot. Who told me to let you accept other men?"
The two embraced quietly. After a while, he said, "Master Zeyu is looking for us. We should go down now."
Ye Ling didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay with him a little longer. She liked him and enjoyed being alone with him.
Once she gets back, she won't have a chance to be alone with him anymore, and she might have to part ways with him tomorrow, not knowing when they'll see each other again.
Thinking of this, her eyes reddened with sadness, and she nestled against his chest, pouting, "Ye Jingyan, I don't want to go down. I want to stay with you a little longer."
Ye Jingyan said indulgently, "Alright, then let's stay a little longer."
He didn't want to go down either. Once they went down, they would have to discuss things with the Taoist priest, and then they would have to go to the city to meet up with them. At that time, he wouldn't have a chance to be alone with her.
He used his mental power to transmit a message to Daoist Zeyu at the foot of the mountain, telling him to go down later and not to come up to find them.
After a long pause, he said, "If you face a life-or-death crisis while we are apart, promise me that you will come to my side immediately, or notify me in advance so that I can be by your side."
Whether you survive this ordeal or not, I will stay by your side.
"Okay, I promise you."
Ye Ling looked up at him: "Ye Jingyan, we're about to part ways, I want to be carefree for once."
Ye Jingyan understood what she meant, and his eyes immediately became deep: "Go back to the space, go back to my room."
"Um."
After saying that, the two disappeared from the mountaintop.
Ye Ling and Ye Jingyan returned to the space silently, unnoticed by anyone inside.
Oh wait, the Fusang tree and the little elves know that Ye Ling has returned to the space, but they won't tell the humans in the space.
Ye Jingyan's room is decorated in a cool color scheme, much like the room of a domineering CEO in a novel—cold and lifeless.
But the sheets on his bed were a warm ginger yellow, and there was a solo photo of Ye Ling and a photo of them together on the bedside table.
The solo photo is from when she was 10 years old, and the group photo was taken on the fifth day before the apocalypse, and he was the one who suggested taking the photo.
She also saw her pajamas and slippers on his bed, beige and off-white, very conspicuous.
She only realized what it was after seeing the pajamas.
I was wondering where her usual pajamas had gone; turns out they were here.
The cold, sterile room was now filled with many of the girl's belongings, all in her favorite colors and items she had used! These things brought a touch of warmth and life to the room.
Can you believe it? This was the first time she had ever been to his room.
