The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 70

Ji Mingxia’s phone charged quickly, and it was half charged after ten minutes. Bao Guangyuan’s phone had also shut down days ago, so Ji Mingxia handed the power bank to him.

After his phone was turned on, it was bombarded with messages, just like Ji Mingxia’s.

Before he could check his messages, calls from his family one after the other in the next moment.

During the journey, the car was filled with Bao Guangyuan’s voice and his family talking on the phone.

From his father, mother, grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc. …… Because he kept talking on the phone, the remaining power of the power bank was not enough for him to use, and by the time they arrived at the Quanzhuang Hotel, the power battery was completely dead. Bao Guangyuan’s phone was once again on the verge of shutting down.

Bao Guangyuan returned the power bank to Ji Mingxia: “Sorry …… I’ve been on the phone the whole way, your power bank ran out of power.”

Ji Mingxia looked at his side that was hot and lively, and then looked at his family column that was cold and empty. There was only a grandmother, of whom the situation was not clear.

However, Ji Mingxia would naturally not show it. He smiled and took the power bank. They got off the car with their luggage, said goodbye to each other and went back to their rooms.

The hotel was still the same, and coming back here felt like a lifetime had passed.

He came here with Yu Ning, and got a double room, but had returned from the primeval forest without Yu Ning so he was alone in the double room.

The two of them had packed enough luggage when they set off, but some of the household items that could not be used were left at the hotel.

At this moment, not only were there items he had left behind, there were also some of Yu Ning’s things as well.

For example, his books, paper and pens, and the underwear that he had given Yu Ning previously.

Although it didn’t fit and he could not use it, Yu Ning still put it in his backpack.

He sat alone in the large double room and no matter where his eyes fell, Ji Mingxia could recall the scene when Yu Ning was in this room.

He sat alone for a while, only to feel like a single dog who had lost his love, and the more he sat, the more miserable he felt.

Realizing that he was in the wrong mood, Ji Mingxia hurriedly got up, packed up all the things in the room and then found Zhao Zhouye and others before it was too late.

Yu Ning’s bronze mirror had modified the perception of Zhao Zhouye and others, so they did not realize that Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had left.

But there are still some flaws in it, after all, human behavior is unpredictable. Ji Mingxia made this trip back alone so that he could fix any doubts Zhao Zhouye and the others might have had.

But in the end, it turned out that he and Yu Ning had overestimated this group of roommates.

His and Yu Ning’s room, and Zhao Zhouye and the others were in the two areas so the two sides were too far apart, resulting in the difficulty for everyone to meet regularly.

When they first checked into the hotel, the roommates would still come all the way over to get together.

But after a while, they not only lost interest, but were also too lazy to walk around.

Quanzhuang hotel was so big and there were so many vacation spots, and everyone had different interests. They were all independent adults that were lively and active, so each would just go out and do what they wanted to do, there was no need for a large number of people to go together.

In this way, even the roommates who lived close to each other did not necessarily meet every day.

What’s more, he and Yu Ning were far away. Not seeing them was a normal phenomenon, and it would be strange to meet every day.

In such a context, coupled with the role of the bronze mirror, Zhao Zhouye and the others did not find out that Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia were gone.

When Ji Mingxia met with his roommates, he only explained that Yu Ning had left first, and the rest did not say much.

The next day, Ji Mingxia and the rest left Quanzhuang hotel and returned to the county.

After the college entrance examination, the senior students left school one after another, but because they still had to check scores, fill in forms and get their high school diplomas, the seniors still needed to return to campus, so the school did not urge everyone to move out of their dorm rooms.

Most people’s luggage was still in the dormitory, and even some seniors remained living in the school after summer vacation, waiting for their results while working summer jobs.

According to the original plan, Ji Mingxia had planned to go back to school with his roommates and go home after he had settled in.

But yesterday’s phone call made Ji Mingxia a little disturbed. He decided not to return to school and go home directly.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Zhouye and others, Ji Mingxia went to the station alone and took a bus to the countryside.

Although his family had little assets, there was only one relative left in the family besides Ji Mingxia, his grandmother.

His grandmother had been living in the countryside all these years and was reluctant to leave, so every time Ji Mingxia had a break, he would go back to his old home in the countryside.

The bus swayed on the country road. There were green crops on both sides and from time to time, you could see farmers picking fresh fruit and placing them on the roadside to sell.

Whether it was the accents of the people speaking in the car, or the scenery along the way outside the window, all were familiar to Ji Mingxia.

He sat in the bus, quietly looking at the mountains and trees along the roadside. It gave him an illusion that he had not transmigrated into the book.

Only the cold touch of the blood-red ring on his hand reminded him that this world had Yu Ning, and mysterious items.

The distance from the county to the countryside was not long, and soon, the bus arrived at the station Ji Mingxia got off according to his memory and walked through several stone paths towards Grandma Ji’s house.

The country house covered a large area with generally low floors and a spacious courtyard.

Because of the small population in the village, everyone was familiar with each other and the villagers in his world would open the courtyard gates to facilitate access.

Along the way, Ji Mingxia met many familiar neighbors.

He also found that some of the houses had been left empty because of the death of people who had inhabited them.

Overall, his hometown had not changed much, and most of the places were still the same as the hometown in his world.

He reached the gate to Grandma Ji’s house and saw a man standing at the gate. He was holding a bag of things and hanging them on the gate handle.

When he saw Ji Mingxia walking towards him, the man turned his head to look at Ji Mingxia, then turned around and quickly walked away.

Ji Mingxia was stunned for a moment and watched the man leave.

He knew most of the people in the village, but the young man in front of him was an unfamiliar face.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia walked up and took down the bag he had hung on the gate handle.

It was a plastic bag with a convenience store logo. It contained some bean paste, rice, pork and other food items.

Each item was packed in a separate category, and in the corner of the bag, were a few five yuan and ten yuan notes.

Ji Mingxia had not seen paper money for a long time because he was used to cell phone payments. He looked carefully and found that the money in there and that in his memory was a bit different. He couldn’t help but reach out, wanting to take out the paper money to see.

Just then, the gate creaked open and an old, wrinkled face peeked out of the gate.

The old woman saw Ji Mingxia standing outside the gate with a shopping bag in his hand, and was stunned for a moment, then said plainly, “You’re back, come in.”

With that, she turned around and walked back into the house.

Ji Mingxia stood in place and stared at the old woman’s back blankly, not regaining his senses for a long time.

This was the original owner’s grandmother, but it was not the grandmother Ji Mingxia remembered.

Ji Mingxia’s real age was nineteen years old, his father, if he was still alive this year, would be forty-five years old. People in Grandma Ji’s era gave birth relatively early and she was twenty years old when she gave birth to his father.

In other words, the grandmother in Ji Mingxia’s original world was about seventy-five years old.

Although she was already old, the Ji family had good genes and his grandmother was a great beauty when she was young.  It was inevitable to grow wrinkles and old spots due to old age, but even at seventy years, her hair was still dark and dense, her body slender and graceful. When put together with her peers, his grandmother was obviously more spirited, more youthful and healthy.

People who were not familiar with her would think she was just in her early sixties.

After crossing over to this world, Ji Mingxia’s age became one year younger. To project according to Ji Mingxia’s current situation, this world’s Grandma Ji should be seventy-four years old this year, which, by definition, should be younger than his original world’s grandmother.

But this Grandma Ji, her hair was white, her face was full of wrinkles, her eyes were cloudy and she walked with her back bowed and a slight tremble in her body.

Leave alone looking younger than her peers, she even looked much older than her peers.

However, aside from the aging, a closer look showed that this was still Grandma Ji’s face, and her voice was also still Grandma Ji’s voice.

It was as if Ji Mingxia had crossed twenty years of time and space and seen the future dying Grandma Ji.

When he first transmigrated, Ji Mingxia was afraid that his grandmother would recognize that he was not the original owner so he did not dare to contact her.

After yesterday’s phone call, Ji Mingxia wondered if the relationship between the original owner and Grandma Ji was different from that between him and his grandmother.

But seeing such a pale grandma Ji made those previous worries and doubts get thrown into the background.

There was nothing more shocking than seeing a loved one suddenly grow old.

Ji Mingxia only wanted to quickly figure out why this world’s Grandma Ji, and his world’s grandmother were different.

Was it that the age of the grandmother in this world had changed?

Or was it because of the plot that the butterfly effect caused the grandmother’s body to change so much?

Ji Mingxia could understand an old woman in her 90s looking old, but a seventy year old woman looking as if twenty years of her life were stolen was absolutely unacceptable.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia gripped the convenience store plastic bag in his hand and quickly walked in.
