Chapter 43: Friends before 18, Enemies after 18
When Yu Qingmeng found Xu Jingzhe, Xu Jingzhe had already found the treasure map. When he saw Yu Qingmeng, he looked nervous. He grabbed her arms and looked her up and down, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was okay.
The game was still going on, but Yu Qingmeng no longer had the mood to play. When she finished the game, she returned to the hotel room in a daze and threw herself onto the soft big bed.
Seeing her sad face, Xu Jingzhe leaned over gently, put his hand on her shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Yu Qingmeng shook her head and used the same lame excuse from this morning to explain: "It's just a stomachache."
"Did you bring the medicine? Let me take you to see a doctor." Xu Jingzhe put his hand on her belly and rubbed it gently.
"It's okay, I just need to rest for a while." Yu Qingmeng crawled into the quilt and fell asleep soon.
Night falls quietly, and the moonlight from outside the window shines in, illuminating the dark room.
There was a rustling sound in front of the door, and Yu Qingmeng sat up suddenly. She was breathing heavily, and her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
She dreamed again of the time when her parents and brother were killed. Fear and terror continued to spread in her heart. It seemed that the longer she lived, the more confused she became about whether the path she had taken was correct.
After looking at Xu Jingzhe who was sleeping soundly, Yu Qingmeng lifted the quilt and walked out of the bedroom, went to the living room and poured a glass of water to drink.
Her violently beating heart seemed to cause a dull pain. She put her hand over her chest, put the cup on the coffee table, then walked to the door and opened it.
In a dark corner of the hotel, Yu Qingmeng found Ye Lingtian who had been following her.
"Mengmeng, are you thinking about me and not sleeping so late?" Ye Lingtian looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of expectation for her answer.
"Give me a ticket to the party." Yu Qingmeng stretched out her hand to him without saying a word.
Ye Lingtian tilted his head in confusion. He brushed his fingertips across his chin, a smile on his face: "When did Mengmeng start liking this kind of upper-class activities? Could it be that she wants to come and save A Lie?"
"If you want to save him, just talk to me. There's no need to do this." Ye Lingtian took out a ticket for the fun party from the special space and handed it to her.
The tickets for the fun fair are made of metal, and their thinness makes it very difficult to embed location tracking.
Since Ye Lingtian has already discovered her and is following her personally, he probably wouldn't implant such a gadget.
After checking that the ticket was correct, Yu Qingmeng turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ye Lingtian behind her.
"If Mengmeng leaves now, the sniper I arranged on the opposite floor will not let your boyfriend go!" Ye Lingtian opened the fan and waved it gently, with a determined smile on his face.
Yu Qingmeng turned around and looked at him irritably: "I explained everything to you this morning, what else do you want to do?"
"Mengmeng, everything that happened back then was really not what you saw or guessed." Ye Lingtian put away his fan and took a few steps towards Yu Qingmeng: "Those were all done by my father, and I have avenged you."
Everyone knows that Ye Lingtian killed his father to seize the throne. It is said that he killed his father the day after he returned from the Scorpion Tail Base.
"Whether it's true or not, I will make my own conclusion. You don't need to tell me." Yu Qingmeng said, and quickly took out a dagger and pressed it against Ye Lingtian's heart. "If you want to kill Jingzhe, then I will take your life now."
Ye Lingtian blinked his innocent eyes, and he smiled, revealing his fangs, letting the tip of the knife touch his heart. "Okay, how did Meng Mengxiang take my life? I'm so excited!"
Yu Qingmeng exerted a little force on the hand holding the hilt of the knife, but before it could pierce Ye Lingtian's clothes, Ye Lingtian grabbed her wrist.
He was so strong that Yu Qingmeng was unable to move in an instant.
"Mengmeng is so cruel, can't you try to take my life in a different way?" Ye Lingtian smiled and slowly moved closer: "If Mengmeng kisses me, I can give you anything."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingmeng gritted her teeth, anger instantly taking over her mind. She didn't care about anything else and raised her foot to poke Ye Lingtian's chin with the tip of her shoe.
This time, Ye Lingtian did not dodge, allowing his chin to be stabbed and bleed. He still had a smile on his face, making it impossible to guess his emotions at the moment.
"I..." Ye Lingtian's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly laughed out loud: "I really like you more and more! It turns out that Mengmeng is the only one in this world who is suitable for me, the perfect match!"
Ye Lingtian grabbed her ankle and closed the distance between them. He slowly moved closer, and his warm breath sprayed on Yu Qingmeng's forehead.
Just before he was about to kiss her, Yu Qingmeng rammed her elbow into his throat, causing Ye Lingtian to loosen his grip on her.
She held the dagger in her hand, her body shaking uncontrollably. She looked at Ye Lingtian, who was covering his neck and coughing continuously, and sneered.
"So you feel pain too?"
Ye Lingtian paused for a moment before answering, "Of course, I'm also a human being, so it will definitely hurt. So every time Mengmeng touches my face, even though it hurts, I still enjoy it!"
"Mengmeng, tell me, do I love you very much?" Ye Lingtian smiled, but stood in the shadows like a devil: "The person you love the most and the person closest to you must be me, only me."
"When you gave me the crown woven with sunflowers, you said that I would always be the prince in your heart, and you would always be the knight who would protect me."
"You are the first person who didn't hurt me, but said you would protect me forever. You like me, you love me, you treat me well, you take me out to play secretly, and you stand in front of me when your parents blame me."
"That year you first fell in love, and we agreed that when we grew up we would get married and stay together forever."
As he spoke, a sinister look finally appeared on Ye Lingtian's face, and his voice couldn't help but sink: "But you broke your oath and stayed with an inferior person with inferior genes! I don't blame you, but am I not good enough?"
"You want to attack the superiors to achieve equality, so I will let my men reveal information about the superiors to you."
"You want to go out and have fun, I will protect you the whole time and take revenge on the man who wants to hurt you."
"But what's the result? You turned a blind eye to my kindness to you, and you still wanted to save the person who hurt you."
"None of this matters..." Ye Lingtian took a step forward and closed the distance between him and Yu Qingmeng. "Didn't you always say I was cold and indifferent? But why am I clinging to you now, but you're pushing me away?!"
Yu Qingmeng was so angry at Ye Lingtian's words that she laughed out loud. She looked at Ye Lingtian with eyes full of ridicule.
"You instigated your father to kill my entire family because you loved me? You stalked me because you loved me? You wove a false cage to make me think I was one step closer to killing you because you loved me?"
Yu Qingmeng laughed helplessly and asked in return: "Your way of loving someone is really special, but I don't like it, and I don't want this kind of love."
"I said it before, and I say it again"
"Before we were eighteen, we were friends, the people we loved most in our youth. After we were eighteen, we were enemies, enemies who could never mend their relationship and return to being friends again!"
