Chapter 253 He still has too many secrets.
Fang Ke finally fell asleep in his arms. Yes brought a blanket and wrapped it around her. There was a fireplace in the room, which warmly enveloped the two of them.
For some reason, this scene reminded him of the time when he first transmigrated, when his father and mother were sitting together in the study, their relationship harmonious and loving.
Yes pulled the blanket tighter around himself. Like Fang Ke, he often felt like a stranger in a foreign land. Over the years, even with good friends, who could he truly confide his deepest secrets to?
What I've told you today is just the tip of the iceberg of his story of coming into this world.
But ultimately, the person listening to the story was an old friend.
Yes was content. Fang Ke was in his arms. What else could he possibly want?
there is none left.
Ye Si leaned against her, his arms wrapped around her back, and quietly let his mind wander. When he too felt sleepy, he picked Fang Ke up, gently placed her on the bed, and then turned and went to the bathroom.
When Fang Ke woke up the next day, he saw that the section on Yes's hidden progress bar had changed to 3/5.
After a moment's thought, she realized that the third hidden quest node for Yes was probably his background.
From this perspective, Guangyes's hidden mission is indeed much more difficult than those of the others.
Fang Ke couldn't help but wonder if Yes brought her back to help her advance the hidden questline, since he was the one who exposed it before... Otherwise, even if Fang Ke tried her best to figure it all out, it would be difficult to guess everything.
During breakfast, Aunt Yun was even more polite to Fang Ke, which actually made Fang Ke a little uncomfortable.
The gifts she had prepared for Ye's parents were no longer needed, so after dinner, she gave them all to Aunt Yun.
Aunt Yun was slightly surprised as she looked at the several bags full of various jewelry, tea, and precious medicinal herbs. Having worked for the Ye family for so many years, she had witnessed the Ye family at its peak and naturally knew the value of these things.
Only by knowing this can one truly appreciate Fang Ke's dedication.
Aunt Yun's expression was complicated as she lowered her head and said, "Miss Fang, you are a good child."
Fang Ke just smiled and said, "Aunt Yun, you've worked so hard all these years. I'm sure you also hope that Senior Ye will find a good home, which is why you've worried so much about him."
These words truly touched Aunt Yun's heart. She couldn't help but wipe her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and then choked up slightly as she said, "Actually, it's not easy for the young master. If he didn't remember, it would be fine, but unfortunately, it was at the most important junctures in his growth that his master and mistress passed away one after another... I just hope that he can be wealthy and safe, marry a virtuous wife like his mistress, and live happily ever after, thus fulfilling his father's regret."
Then you can listen patiently and show your understanding.
Aunt Yun continued, "Before the master passed away, he arranged a marriage for him. The girl was quite nice, but the young master didn't like her... I've always believed in the importance of arranged marriages and fulfilling the master's last wish... That's why I've been so disrespectful to you, Miss Fang. Please forgive me."
"fine……"
"Actually, he's been single all these years, and I even suspected before that he might not like girls..."
Fang Ke: "..."
Aunt Yun smiled and said, "But when he brought you back yesterday, I was truly relieved and happy. My clever little test yesterday was also to see the true relationship between the young master and you..."
Fang Ke, “…?”
Well, experience counts.
Aunt Yun suddenly grasped her hand and said, "Miss Fang, the young master has always been a very gentle and humble child. This is the first time he has made such a strong request. I think he really can't live without you."
Fang Ke came out of Aunt Yun's place, her ears feeling a little hot.
It was still early, so Ye Si changed into casual clothes and came out to take her to see Ye's parents.
Fang Ke paused for a moment. The clothes left in Ye Si's house were probably all bought when he was young. He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater underneath. As he appeared from the stairwell and slowly came down, Fang Ke saw the shadow of Xue Lin from that night on him again.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Si's voice rang out above her head, snapping her out of her reverie. She smiled and said to the person, "I was daydreaming."
She pressed her hand to her wrist, where a string of silver obsidian stones still adorned her.
Fang Ke suddenly realized that Yes probably only told half of his story, and that he still had too many secrets.
For example, the most direct question is why, out of the string of obsidian rewards given by the system, only Ye Si's shadow appeared?
There are too many chilling things to think about when you look closely.
Fang Ke's reward comes from the system, and the system's reward comes from the Heavenly Dao. Does this indirectly mean that the Heavenly Dao and Ye Si have already bypassed the system and reached a deep cooperation?
For example, Yes's various actions indicate that he is not an ordinary mission taker. He undoubtedly possesses at least two time-related rule skills; the residual power he left behind in the obsidian is so strong that it would even require sealing upon entering this world, and it can even directly repair the protagonist's luck…
All of this combined makes it seem that, given the current low-magic combat system of this world, even the status of a high-ranking official in the Time and Space Administration is somewhat inadequate...
Then... could it be that Yes is really a god-level being?
But... that doesn't make sense either.
Ye Siming clearly explained that he was reincarnated into this world at the age of 10, forced to accept the system's mission, and almost rejected by the world's consciousness...
Then he definitely isn't the main god of this world.
Fang Ke can only confirm two things at this point:
1. Yes is a mission taker from the outside world;
2. Yes possesses godlike power...
So what was the world he lived in before?
Technology and medicine are highly advanced, but there is a cultural disconnect...?
This description... doesn't seem like a parallel universe to Earth at all. Could it be Earth hundreds of years in the future...?
Fang Ke felt a chill run down her spine again, especially after what Ye Si had told her last night: whether she believed in reincarnation. Fang Ke then thought of the restaurant Ye Si owned in Jingzhou, which was always packed and also called "Reincarnation."
Such a strong suggestion...
Could it be... that they really knew each other in the previous world?
Could it be... that Yes is different from her and possesses memories of his past life?
Fang Keyi wondered if she and Yes really knew each other before, which would mean that she might also come from a future world with highly advanced technology and medicine, but a broken civilization.
If it comes from such a world, then the actions of version 1.0 seem understandable...
Fang Ke couldn't help but imagine that if it were her, she could become the richest person in the world by relying on the medical and technological patents of the future world.
...
Yes took Fang Ke to the town's cemetery. The environment there was excellent, nestled against the mountains and beside the water. After climbing halfway up the mountain, they finally saw two stone tablets standing side by side.
Mr. and Mrs. Ye's graves must be regularly cleaned; they are very clean, and there are small flowers placed on the tombstone.
Yes bowed and removed the slightly wilted bouquet, replacing it with lilies they had just bought that day, inserting them one by one.
Fang Ke also half-squatted down and looked at the name on the tombstone.
The stone tablet simply had the name Ye Qingyu engraved on it, followed by RIP (Rest in peace), and nothing else was written.
Even if one has had a life full of splendor and glory, now one can only keep company with grass and trees, sleeping soundly through the years, and only then can one sigh softly.
Beside this stone tablet is Madam Ye's tombstone, inscribed with her name, Qu Ying. Her name, like her, exudes gentleness.
Fang Ke stared at the two stone tablets for a long time. After Ye Si finished cleaning and wiped the steps with water, he suddenly asked, "The one you mentioned last night, the one who lied to Uncle Ye's friend, was it Yi Mohan's father, Yi Xiuyong?"
