Last summer, Ji Mingxia had just transmigrated and was still a dedicated love mentor.

But ever since the original plot went askew and a series of characters developed in an uncontrollable direction, Ji Mingxia gradually gave up.

Especially after he decided to get together with Yu Ning, he even stopped thinking about the original story.

The Ji Mingxia of this world had fallen in love and had a boyfriend, but the Ji Mingxia at this moment had never had such an experience.

To him, that past was just a written description.

He had no idea who his ex-boyfriend was or what he looked like, and as he now had Yu Ning, he naturally didn’t think about such irrelevant people.

Unexpectedly, the plot, which had already gone so far into outer space that it could never be salvaged, had magically come back to haunt him at such a time!

This ex-boyfriend, who didn’t need to reappear, caught him off guard and reappeared in Ji Mingxia’s life in an unbelievable way!

At this moment, Yu Ning was looking at Ji Mingxia, and Grandma Ji was also staring at Ji Mingxia.

A drop of cold sweat emerged from Ji Mingxia’s forehead.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly. He tried to open his mouth several times to explain, but he simply did not know what to say in his defence.

Grandma Ji waited for a few moments, but did not get a reply, and her face immediately sank. “Ji Mingxia, just give me an accurate answer, did you try to deceive Yu Ning?”

“No, no, I definitely didn’t!” Ji Mingxia looked at Grandma Ji and Yu Ning anxiously, and hurriedly waved his hands.

He was innocent, he really was innocent!

Ji Mingxia was shouting frantically inside!

Grandma Ji snorted coldly, “Then I’ll take your place and tell Yu Ning the whole story, you don’t mind, do you?”

Could Ji Mingxia refuse? Of course he couldn’t.

He could only nod his head and say, “Okay.”

The matter had come to this, and there was nothing he could do to undo it, he might as well listen to those past events and extract some information too, so that he wouldn’t make a similar mistake next time!

With this in mind, Ji Mingxia sat upright and was ready to listen.

Unexpectedly, he saw Grandma Ji get up and call Yu Ning to the study for a discussion.

Ji Mingxia followed behind Yu Ning, intending to go in with them, but Grandma Ji used her cane to block the door and stopped him.

Ji Mingxia: “?? Grandma?”

“Yu Ning and I will have a good talk, so you don’t have to come in.” Grandma Ji snorted coldly, “When I finish, Yu Ning will come back and ask you if he has any questions, you better answer him properly, if you dare to lie again ……”

Grandma Ji said, raising her cane and making a threatening gesture.

Ji Mingxia: “……” dumbfounded.jpg

‘Can you still play like this?

Grandma, you want me to die!’

However, no matter how much Ji Mingxia protested inwardly, Grandma Ji still mercilessly closed the door behind her.

However, Ji Mingxia was undeterred. He leaned close to the wooden door and strained his ears to listen.

He had extraordinary hearing nowadays, and if it were normal, he would have been able to pick up the sounds inside the door.

But as it happened, Grandma Ji was speaking in a very low voice, telling Yu Ning about the past while she seemed to be rummaging through something in the study.

The sound of footsteps, the sound of pushing and pulling drawers, and the sound of various objects clashing came out intermittently with Grandma Ji’s words, so even though Ji Mingxia was highly concentrated on capturing them, he could only hear a few words.

“…… the two were originally junior high school classmates ……”

“At first, the one surnamed Ke chased after him ……”

“I asked him ……he said it was a prophecy ……”

“He really thought I was an old fogey who was about to die, using such nonsense to swindle me!”

“Later, the one surnamed Ke left the country ……”

“…… Mingxia was obsessed ……”

Grandma Ji said, although she got emotional at times, she soon calmed down as she continued speaking.

Ji Mingxia felt her sadness and was heartbroken.

But what prophecy, what obsession? Grandma, you should raise the volume!

He was so close to the door that he wanted to take off his ears, throw them into the room so he could eavesdrop and install them back!

Just then, Grandma Ji’s voice became lower and lower, and she seemed to have finished.

A short silence fell in the study, and after about ten minutes, Yu Ning got up, opened the door and walked out.

He looked the same as usual, but Ji Mingxia always felt that something was different.

Yu Ning saw Ji Mingxia twiddling his thumbs and looking at him apprehensively, but he didn’t say much and first went back into the bedroom.

On the way, Ji Mingxia racked his brains, wanting to gauge Yu Ning out, but he didn’t know how to go about it.

When they returned to their room and sat down, Ji Mingxia suddenly noticed a golden bracelet on Yu Ning’s slender white wrist.

The bracelet was solid and rounded, with a small inner ring and a red gemstone in the centre that was the size of a grain of rice. Wearing this gold bracelet didn’t look tacky, on the contrary, it made Yu Ning’s pale complexion more radiant.

There was no doubt that it was from Grandma Ji.

No wonder he heard various drawers being pushed and pulled and the sound of metal clashing in the study just now, it turned out that Grandma Ji was looking for this bracelet and gave it to Yu Ning.

Ji Mingxia immediately found an opening and said to Yu Ning, “This bracelet is a Ji family heirloom, it is only for the family head.”

Yu Ning looked down at the bracelet, and nodded his head.

He had always been a man of few words, and Ji Mingxia had long since adapted to Yu Ning’s personality, never feeling that anything was wrong.

But today, he wished Yu Ning was a chatterbox so he could tell him everything that happened in the study.

When Yu Ning did not say anything, Ji Mingxia could only add: “This bracelet was left behind by grandma’s ancestors. It was always very precious to her, and she did not even let me touch it when I was a child. I thought she would give it to me when I grew up, but unexpectedly, she immediately gave it to you……”

Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning with a dry smile.

Yu Ning continued to nod his head without speaking.

Ji Mingxia was at his wit’s end. He resignedly approached Yu Ning and begged in a small voice, “So now that you’re the head of the family, you have to be magnanimous and broad-minded, you must be able to forgive me for that little mistake, right?”

Yu Ning finally raised his head to look at him.

His expression was light, and it didn’t look like he was angry. When he looked at Ji Mingxia, he seemed to be looking far away, with a million emotions in his eyes.

Ji Mingxia was stunned, and before he had time to think about it, he heard Yu Ning say, “Mingxia, then do you know that you are wrong?”

Ji Mingxia instantly came back to his senses and hurriedly said, “I know I was wrong! I truly realize my mistake!”

Yu Ning asked, “Where did you go wrong?”

“My mistake was hiding the matter of Ke Chengxuan from you, I promise never to do it again!” Ji Mingxia said with utmost sincerity.

When he thought about it, there was nothing else in this world other than this ex-boyfriend thing that could make him so confused and clueless that he couldn’t do anything about it!

Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia for a long time and slowly said, “I don’t care about that.”

Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Just when Ji Mingxia was at a loss for words, Yu Ning did not torture him anymore and told him what Grandma Ji had told him.

Ji Mingxia had read about the original owner and Ke Chengxuan’s past, it was nothing more than that the two fell in love at school, separated for various reasons, and then reunited a few years later and lived happily ever after.

But Grandma Ji’s point of view added a lot of bizarre information.

In Grandma Ji’s view, Ke Chengxuan approached Ji Mingxia with an ulterior motive from the start.

“He told Grandma Ji that he could see the future and that the two of you would be together, that’s why he came to court you.” Yu Ning said to Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia stiffened: “……”

'Did this Ke Chengxuan have a brain or an intellectual problem?

Although Grandma Ji was a bit older, it was not to the extent that her brain wouldn’t work!

He was a young man, how dare he engage in feudal superstition in front of his grandmother, his moral character is really bad!'

“Because Grandma Ji didn’t agree with you being together, he wanted *to cook with raw rice.” Yu Ning said.

*Things that will make someone yours forever, most common method is sex before marriage. 

Ji Mingxia was shocked: “……”

A few seconds later, he timidly said, “I don’t think ……it wasn’t cooked …… right?”

Ke Chengxuan left the country after high school, and the two were underage when they were still together.

“After he left the country, do you think it was Grandma Ji who batted around, and made your relationship with her drop to freezing point?” Yu Ning said, “A few days ago, the news reported that Ke Chengxuan had made his debut and was coming back home to do promotion, coinciding with your return at this time. So, Grandma Ji thought you had rushed back to see him.”

When Ji Mingxia heard this, he remembered with hindsight what happened on his first day back home.

Although he was a bit slow, he had a good memory. At this moment, Yu Ning’s words and Grandma Ji’s reaction that day all matched up.

Ji Mingxia also knew what happened after that without Yu Ning having to say much.

He, Yu Ning and Ke Chengxuan returned to Funan County on the same day.

However, while Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning arrived in the middle of the night, Ke Chengxuan arrived during the day.

The hotel where he stayed was located in the centre of the county, the same place where Ke Chengxuan’s fans got off that day.

According to reports, an accident occurred at the hotel in the early hours of January 2nd , leaving the entire hotel building trapped, and the fire brigade had to send a large number of personnel to rescue it.

The incident was all over the internet and it made the social news pages several times.

However, because Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had deliberately stayed off the internet for the past few days, they had missed a lot of news.

Even if he occasionally saw the relevant news, Ji Mingxia simply ignored it because he didn’t know Ke Chengxuan.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia lowered his head and opened his phone to check the date.

Today was the 5th of January.

It had been three days since the accident at the hotel where Ke Chengxuan was staying!

Although the news at the scene had been updated, it could be confirmed that Ke Chengxuan had not been rescued so far.

No wonder Grandma Ji, as opposed as she was, had taken the initiative to let Ji Mingxia go over there.

A group of people had been trapped in a hotel for three days, it would be fine if there was enough food, but if not….

Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning: “Then …… should we go and take a look?”

To Ji Mingxia, he was completely indifferent to this Ke Chengxuan.

To him, this was a stranger that he had never met before.

If Ke Chengxuan was holding an event in the county at the moment, Even Ji Mingxia wouldn’t have gone even if he was given free tickets, and he would have stayed as far away from Ke Chengxuan as possible.

But it was now different, although he didn’t know Ke Chengxuan, this was his original partner.

Since he was dying …… he'd go and just have a look.

Yu Ning saw that Ji Mingxia was being cautious and said, “I’ll accompany you.”

Ji Mingxia instantly let out a sigh of relief.

Due to the urgency of the situation, he and Yu Ning did not delay, and after making their decision, they immediately got up and traveled to Funan County.

As soon as they reached the county, Ji Mingxia felt that the atmosphere of the whole county was completely different from the previous days.
