Chapter 252 Perhaps we met long ago.
Fang Ke opened his lips in surprise, trying to process the hypothesis proposed by Ye Si.
Seeing that she was still thinking, Yes continued to state his conjecture.
"And what you did later is enough to prove that you have never been assimilated by the world consciousness... I'm wondering if the reverse is also true."
“…What do you mean?”
"Hmm... Perhaps you know that the more outrageous you go, the more you can preserve your consciousness, so at the age of 18, you've already turned the world upside down."
Fang Ke chuckled and continued, "So, at 18, I was forced to be excluded from this world?"
Yes nodded. "You may have affected some timelines, so he had no choice but to take action."
Fang Ke said with a self-deprecating laugh, "That actually makes sense."
"Then why did he insist on bringing me back? Was it because of Su Yao?"
"possible."
Fang Ke sneered, "You're giving her too much face."
Yes found her cold expression quite adorable and kissed her tense cheek.
"If that's the case, then where do I come from?"
Ye Si paused for a moment, and Fang Ke began to ponder again, unaware of the complexity in his eyes.
"It's also possible that I was originally from the real world, and then inexplicably came to this world for 18 years, and then traveled back... traveling back and forth between the two worlds?"
Fang Ke thought for a moment and then shook her head, "But my achievements in the real world are far inferior to those of 5-year-old Fang Ke here..."
That means that even if Fang Ke brought her consciousness from the real world to this world, she wouldn't be able to do anything that surpasses her previous achievements... At least, establishing a hacker organization to collect intelligence and make money, profiting from war... these are things that a positive and exemplary young person raised under the five-star red flag like her couldn't do.
Still missing a crucial piece of the puzzle, Fang Ke scratched his head, feeling a bit frustrated, and decided not to dwell on it anymore.
"Senior, please continue with your story."
"good."
Ye Si's long fingers ran through her long hair, pausing slightly.
Fang Ke cursed herself inwardly, then rested her head on his shoulder and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. There's no need to keep reopening the wound."
Yes smiled and said, "It's nothing."
He thought for a moment and then said, "I have to say, with the appearance of this thing, I seem to have become much more clear-headed and have gradually regained some of my abilities."
"...The 'tattoos' on my body only gradually appeared after I became conscious."
"At first, I tried my best to save the Ye family, but the rules of this world are quite strict. After one or two attempts, the difficulty of saving them increased exponentially. In the end, after three months, Madam Ye still couldn't escape her fate..."
"That fire was actually very similar to the one at the Fang residence last time; it also happened in the study and living room... Father... Father Ye escaped because he was drinking with distinguished guests in the wine cellar..."
"I rushed into the fire that day to save people, and then I entered another dimension."
Fang Ke: "?"
"I was trapped in that infinite space for an hour, just one hour, and it was too late to save me."
Fang Ke couldn't help but curse angrily, "Is the heavens out of their minds? Why does Madam Ye have to be sacrificed to the heavens?"
A cold glint appeared on Ye Si's face. "After Madam Ye's death, my instructions became: find the murderer who killed Madam Ye and avenge the fallen Ye family."
Fang Ke was so angry he almost laughed. "That's like taking off your pants to fart – it's like he's just wasting his breath. If he hadn't interfered, this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Does he have to have his cake and eat it too?"
Ye Si scoffed and nodded, continuing, "The fire also destroyed several of Ye's father's key contracts and documents, forcing many collaborations to be postponed. But during this time, his good friend tricked him into signing the project under the pretext of helping him secure it first and then transferring it later, directly stealing the project from which he had invested over a billion yuan."
"…………"
"The cash flow of Ye's father's company also broke down at one point. The Ye family is a family business, and there are many people waiting to take over. Ye's father was pulled down from the position of power by them and suffered a lot of humiliation."
"Only later did he discover that the person who succeeded him had actually been colluding with his good brother, working together from the inside and outside, all to surround and eliminate him."
"He was heartbroken, so he sold all his shares in the family and took my mother's and my ashes with him abroad."
At this point, Yes couldn't help but call Mrs. Yes "Mother".
Fang Ke felt great pity for Ye Si, thinking that Ye Si's background was truly tragic and beautiful.
Fang Ke turned around and silently hugged him. Ye Si felt a surge of tenderness in his heart, and his hand slid down to her waist, gently wrapping his arms around her.
The fragrance emanating from Fang Ke calmed him down, and he gently rested his head on Fang Ke's shoulder.
"During the four years I was away, my father did his best to arrange my life. Looking back now, I think he must have been prepared to die long ago."
“It was shortly after my 18th birthday, less than a year into university, and one evening after I had independently completed a financial contract. He seemed very happy and celebrated for me lavishly. He smiled more than he had in years that day. I was also very moved, thinking that he had finally taken a step or two out of the shadows, but I never expected... The next day, when Aunt Yun knocked on the door, she found him in the bathroom, having committed suicide by cutting his wrists.”
"He was determined to die, and even swallowed a large amount of sleeping pills before cutting his wrists."
"Even so, in the suicide note he left me, he very gently and repeatedly told me not to be as cowardly and negative as he was. He said he was just going to find my mother and that I should live my own life well... If possible, don't go back to China..."
Fang Ke hugged him even tighter, wanting him to stop talking, but Yes gently stroked her back, as if to comfort her.
"It's okay, baby, so many years have passed."
Ye Si said slowly, "After that, I took a six-month break from school to deal with all the things left behind by my father, and dismissed most of the servants in the manor, leaving only Aunt Yun and a few others."
"Then I backpacked around the world, visiting various historical cities and ancient sites, witnessing the world for the first time. At that time, I felt that I was inseparable from 'Yes'. I couldn't stand indifferently from a third-person perspective to watch their story, nor could I treat them as cold data I encountered in the game. They gave me a lot. This feeling was real, passionate, and painful."
Yes slowly cupped the girl's entire body with both hands, pulling her inch by inch into his embrace, tightening his arms around her tightly.
Only then could he feel a strong sense of being needed.
She could only kiss his earlobe with even more tenderness, and stroke his back as Yes had just done, trying to soothe him.
Something is better than nothing.
Yes held her tightly for a while before letting go, then pulled Fang Ke up, his large hand caressing half of her cheek, his eyes meeting hers.
"But God was kind to me. When I returned to school for the new semester, I met you there."
Fang Ke was taken aback, and then said with a hint of sourness.
"What if the person you meet isn't the one we know now..."
"It's you, it's all you."
Yes cupped her face and kissed the corner of her lips.
"Fang Ke, do you believe in reincarnation? Perhaps we met a long time ago."
"This life is just a little more dramatic."
"But you are still you, and I am still me."
"I won't admit my mistake."
