This Ji Mingxia had fallen into a deep sleep and only woke up in the dormitory of H University on the day Ji Mingxia disappeared, his last memories of the days before the college entrance exams.
Although he was unfamiliar with H University, this Ji Mingxia was very happy to learn that he had successfully passed the entrance exams and was a freshman at University.
He didn’t know the people at H University, but it didn’t matter as they were willing to make friends with him all over again.
He settled into dormitory 502 and quickly integrated into the group.
But he never met Yu Ning.
This Ji Mingxia was also very curious about the various rumours between him and Yu Ning, but since Yu Ning never showed up, Ji Mingxia didn’t bother to look into it.
Yu Ning was not the type he would choose for a partner, he was just curious, not interested.
Yu Ning, on the other hand, had already deduced the existence of this Ji Mingxia through the occasional small talk of the medical staff.
Although the name was the same, the looks were the same, and even the life experience was roughly the same, that person was not his lover.
For a moment, Tong Jing was stunned at Yu Ning’s words and then she understood what he meant.
The Ji Mingxia Yu Ning loved had crossed over from another world, and then he eventually disappeared with all the mysterious items.
This Ji Mingxia, on the other hand, was an aborigine of this world.
She looked at the almost identical faces. If it were before, Tong Jing would have suggested that Yu Ning pursue him and use this Ji Mingxia as a substitute.
But after experiencing so much, Tong Jing could understand a little of the various emotions between humans.
Some things could be substitutes, while others are unique in this world and cannot be replaced by anyone.
In order to find Ji Mingxia, Yu Ning trapped himself in a cage for more than a thousand years, if he could easily move on, he would have given up long ago instead of torturing himself into what he looked like now, he almost looked like a ghost.
Yu Ning opened the book until he came to a complete planning sheet, and he carefully took it out.
It was Tong Jing’s first time to see Yu Ning cherish something so much, so she couldn’t hold back her curiosity and glanced at it. There were all sorts of strange marks and unintelligible letters on the planning sheet, and many places where Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia’s names were written down in a scattered manner.
Some of them were written as “Yu Ning (Ji Mingxia)”, others as “Yu Ning → Ji Mingxia” or “Yu Ning & Ji Mingxia”.
What surprised Tong Jing the most was that at the end of the first page, Ji Mingxia had even drawn a regular love heart with a red line between the words “Yu Ning” and “Ji Mingxia”.
In the middle of the love heart was the word “love” written in big letters.
“Love?” Tong Jing couldn’t help but ask strangely.
Yu Ning glanced at her coldly and Tong Jing immediately shut up.
She had read Yu Ning’s memory and it took her a while to recall that this planning sheet belonged to Ji Mingxia.
But did these symbols and words mean anything? They were useless for what they had to do next, ah.
Tong Jing was puzzled, but did not dare ask any questions.
Then she saw Yu Ning raise his hand and a mobile phone appeared out of thin air.
When Yu Ning entered the password to unlock it, Tong Jing couldn’t resist and secretly glanced at it, and instantly realized that it was Ji Mingxia’s phone.
It was only when Yu Ning took the phone and the planning sheet and dived back into the time cage to study them that Tong Jing relaxed.
These two should quickly get back together. She had been tortured for more than a thousand years, and she really doesn’t want to continue with this!
After a while, Yu Ning came out with a stack of drafts.
In just a few months, Yu Ning’s entire body was as thin as a skeleton, but at this moment, his eyes were frighteningly bright.
The flame that was hidden in the depths seemed to be raging, as if it was burning to the extreme and was now filling his eyes, making him look crazy.
For the first time, Tong Jing saw a look of excitement on Yu Ning’s face, he even turned his head and smiled at her.
Tong Jing: scared
“You ……did you find a clue?” Tong Jing asked cautiously.
“After combining the information on the planning sheet and that on the phone, what came out was a complete story.” Yu Ning said.
“A story?” Tong Jing looked confused.
Yu Ning said, “In Mingxia’s world, this is a book, and all of us are characters in the book.”
Tong Jing still did not understand.
In a rare moment of patience, Yu Ning explained, “This book is the bridge between the two worlds, as long as I use it as a locator, I will be able to find Mingxia.”
Yu Ning even laughed at the end of his sentence.
What bridge, coordinates, positioning, x, y……
Tong Jing actually didn’t understand but it didn’t matter, as long as Yu Ning understood.
There was only one copy of Ji Mingxia’s planning sheet, and there was only one copy of the book in the world where Ji Mingxia was.
In other words, they only had one chance to try, and whether they succeeded or failed, the bridge would disappear and it would be impossible to find Ji Mingxia after that.
In order to improve the success rate, Yu Ning prepared for another month or so.
At the beginning, Tong Jing was under Ji Mingxia’s order and followed his guidelines.
After such a long time, the person who gave the orders was replaced by Yu Ning.
Nowadays, he was so thin and skinny that only his eyes were so bright that they were frightening.
How could Tong Jing dare to disobey him? She only followed his orders obediently.
From the void, a door appeared before their eyes.
As the bridge was built, the closer they got to Ji Mingxia’s world, the clearer the door would become.
When they finally located the book, Tong Jing’s body shook as she looked at Yu Ning incredulously and said, “I found it!”
Yu Ning stepped forward and slowly opened the door.
The expression on his face seemed calm, but a closer look revealed that his hands were trembling.
The door slowly opened, and the scene behind it emerged little by little.
It was an endlessly dark space, and just looking at it made one’s heart palpitate.
The threat of death permeated Tong Jing’s heart, and she said in a trembling voice, “Yu Ning, it’s too dangerous, we are moving from a lower realm to Ji Mingxia’s world, if we are not careful, we might get torn apart…”
Yu Ning turned a deaf ear. He faced the daunting endless darkness and walked forward with a calm expression.
The darkness swallowed all light sources, and in a flash, it swallowed Yu Ning’s figure.
The bronze mirror was hanging at his waist, and as it’s mirror spirit, Tong Jing’s vision went dark, followed by a terrible tearing force that swept through her limbs and bones. Then, Tong Jing’s head hit the rough and hard asphalt road heavily.
She couldn’t help but howl, and then opened her eyes and looked around.
It was late at night, the moon was shining coldly on the earth, and the orange streetlights stretched out their shadows.
Tong Jing blankly stared at the sky and at the highway in front of her and upon noticing that Yu Ning was standing beside her, Tong Jing muttered, “We …… succeeded?”
‘Was this Ji Mingxia’s world?’
The sky was still the same, and the highway looked flat and unremarkable.
Most of the vehicles going past were models from ten years ago.
Ji Mingxia’s world didn’t look like much.
Tong Jing was still muttering when she saw Yu Ning quickly walking forward.
“Hey, where are you going?” Tong Jing asked as she followed behind Yu Ning.
Yu Ning continued walking straight ahead as if he hadn’t heard her and came in front two cars that had collided together.
“No wonder I heard a bang when I first fell down, so there was a car accident.”
Before Tong Jing could say anything, Yu Ning had already stepped forward and used the power of the mysterious item to quickly separate the two cars.
The cars crashed and deformed and blood gushed out from inside. The drivers of both cars had their heads flattened and there was no hope for them.
Tong Jing saw Yu Ning carefully opening the door to the cars and rescuing the injured people inside one by one. All the people he rescued were already bloodied corpses, and she felt baffled when she saw Yu Ning carefully carrying a teenager out of the car.
Why did this boy look familiar?
Tong Jing stared at the teenager for a while and her eyes went wide with disbelief.
This was Ji Mingxia?
But he wasn’t the Ji Mingxia she had seen before. The person in front of her had a slightly childish face and his body was a lot shorter. He was obviously the junior high school Ji Mingxia who had not yet reached adulthood!
He was sitting in the second row of the car, behind the driver. At the moment of impact, the man and woman in the front row died instantly, and only Ji Mingxia who was behind them had barely survived.
At this moment, the car had been wrecked, the fuel tank had burst and was leaking, and Ji Mingxia was unconscious.
If Yu Ning had not arrived in time, then Ji Mingxia would have died today.
Tong Jing had read Ji Mingxia’s profile and naturally knew what he had gone through when he was young.
But it never occurred to her that Yu Ning had saved the Ji Mingxia of this world!
Was it a coincidence, or was it …… destiny?
After rescuing Ji Mingxia, Yu Ning stood guard until the ambulance arrived, then Yu Ning hid aside and avoided everyone’s sight.
Both of Ji Mingxia’s parents had died in the car accident, leaving only Ji Mingxia who had just entered junior high school, to live with his grandmother.
Since then, Yu Ning has always been by Ji Mingxia’s side, accompanying him day by day.
The Ji Mingxia of this world was obviously much more cheerful than the Ji Mingxia of the book world.
Although he had lost his parents, he quickly emerged from the gloom and even took the initiative to take care of Grandma Ji.
During his three years of high school, Ji Mingxia was popular and had acquaintances and friends wherever he went. Each day of his life was an experience.
After the college entrance exams, Ji Mingxia got into the university of his choice, H University.
He moved into room 502 and became roommates with Lin Cheng and Luo Zixuan ……
In this world, Ji Mingxia was fine even without Yu Ning.
Tong Jing and Yu Ning guarded Ji Mingxia for four years and Tong Jing was already very anxious.
In the past, Ji Mingxia was younger so it was logical to let him be.
But he was now in his first year of university, he and Yu Ning should have met up a long time ago, or he should have started reading that novel by now.
But why was there no movement at all?
Even if there were no clues on Ji Mingxia’s side, Yu Ning also did not take any action. He just quietly watched over Ji Mingxia, never appearing before his eyes.
He had endured more than a thousand years in a dark room to find Ji Mingxia, and now that he had finally found him, he was just watching from afar and doing nothing!
Even if Yu Ning was fine with this, she was unwilling!
Yu Ning had endured over a thousand years, and she had suffered along with him.
These two had to be reunited, otherwise she would have suffered for a thousand years for nothing!
Tong Jing was anxious but since Yu Ning had not given her orders, Tong Jing did not dare to act without permission.
Until one day, Tong Jing vaguely felt a spatial fluctuation. Then Ji Mingxia, who was always healthy, suddenly took a few days of sick leave.
He was sick and had a recurring fever.
During this time, Ji Mingxia would take medicine, and Yu Ning would also secretly use the power of the bronze mirror to treat him.
However, Ji Mingxia never got well.
In just a week’s time, his personality had changed drastically and he had lost a lot of weight.
“Yu Ning, could it be that Ji Mingxia …… has returned?” Tong Jing couldn’t help but ask.
Yu Ning snapped his head around to look at her.
His eyes were frighteningly bright and his eyelashes trembled a few times. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, he seemed to want to restrain his emotions and calm himself down a little, but he simply couldn’t control it anymore.
That night, Yu Ning didn’t sleep a wink. The next day, he handed the campus card to the dormitory manager.
A long time ago, on a rainy night, Yu Ning returned to the classroom after his evening study session.
Seeing that he had no hot water to take a shower, Ji Mingxia secretly handed the campus card to the managing auntie, wanting to help Yu Ning secretly.
Of course, Yu Ning found out in the end.
After graduating from high school, Ji Mingxia took his luggage back to Banana Leaf Village, and Yu Ning went there and took the card before he opened the door to this world.
In the evening, the managing auntie stopped Ji Mingxia and brought out the card, and in the next instant, Ji Mingxia changed drastically.
With this, Tong Jing finally confirmed that it was the Ji Mingxia of that world, who had returned.
Yu Ning, who had always been calm and reserved, could no longer restrain himself, he took a few steps forward, stood outside the dormitory and waited for Ji Mingxia to notice him.
With his back to the light, the look on his face was gentle, and only Tong Jing saw a crystal flash from the corner of Yu Ning’s eyes.
The setting sun stretched their shadows, and Tong Jing looked at the affectionate couple and snorted. She was unable to look any longer and her head away, though the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but raise a smile.
At the beginning, she took the initiative to attack Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia, and ended up dying.
Although she still had a grudge against Yu Ning, Ji Mingxia had resurrected her.
More than a thousand years had passed and that grudge had long since dissipated.
Yu Ning’s obsession had affected her, and Tong Jing had waited so long to finally see a happy ending.
Now that Yu Ning has found Ji Mingxia and no longer needed her, she would regain her freedom.
As the summer breeze blew by, the two young people embraced and kept whispering to each other.
Ji Mingxia embraced Yu Ning and it took him a long time to speak after confirming that he was real, “You’ve come for me.”
“Mmm.”
Ji Mingxia cried and laughed: “I knew that you would find me.”
Yu Ning lowered his head and hugged Ji Mingxia tightly.
He had waited for this moment for far too long.
