Chapter 2: Remembering the Past
Although she had found the girl’s residence, Ji Yunqi had no idea what kind of place it was, but she was certain it was within the city.
If it wasn’t in the city, how could she be in Rongcheng University’s hospital?
She looked at the balance on the girl’s phone and was shocked to find only a little over a thousand yuan. This was truly…
Ji Yunqi finally understood why there was a problem with malnutrition.
However, she still grudgingly took a taxi to the girl’s home address. When she arrived, she truly felt the pinch, spending a full 40 yuan on the fare, making an already precarious life even more difficult.
But Ji Yunqi never would have expected that the girl’s home would be in such an old, dilapidated, and small old community. Garbage was strewn everywhere, and the environment was quite bad. She had seen several homeless people in the car just now.
“This place is not suitable for staying long!”
Ji Yunqi had lived for decades and knew the nature of homeless people all too well. If she were to be extorted, it would be over. Not to mention that she was penniless now, even if she hadn’t died and had considerable wealth, she wouldn’t dare interact too much with these people.
Fortunately, the girl’s home address was only a general location and not too difficult to find. Now that she had arrived, finding the apartment building and room was quite simple.
In less than 5 minutes, Ji Yunqi successfully found the corresponding apartment building.
“Yo, Ji girl, you’re back?” At this moment, a woman dressed very revealingly and heavily made up was standing at the entrance of the stairs, looking at Ji Yunqi, her gaze scrutinizing her all over.
Such naked scrutiny made Ji Yunqi very uncomfortable. Such an obvious gaze was simply too rude.
“Yo, I thought you really listened to me and went to M. Looks like you haven’t yet, hehe.”
!!!
Ji Yunqi was startled by these words. Seeing the woman dressed like this, she realized she was in that line of work, and it looked like she wanted this girl to join her.
“I say, Xiao Yun’er, you really don’t know how much your face attracts people? Listen to my advice. Your parents are gone, and you’re an orphan, so what can’t you let go of? With a face like yours, there are plenty of people who will play with you, and you’ll definitely earn more than me.”
Ji Yunqi instinctively frowned. She didn’t want to talk to the woman in front of her anymore, as this person was completely trying to “force a good woman into prostitution.”
“Move aside.” Ji Yunqi was not the Ji Yunqi she used to be. She was a seasoned veteran who had lived for decades, possessing a demeanor that an 18-year-old girl could not have.
Just two words silenced the woman in front of her. She looked at Ji Yunqi with disbelief, but her body obediently moved aside.
After successfully entering the house, Ji Yunqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the furnishings in the house, she was quite satisfied. The entire room was only about 15 square meters. Compared to her previous home, it was indeed too small, but it was a complete unit despite its size.
Even in a 15-square-meter home, all facilities were present, and the entire house was kept meticulously clean and tidy. Looking at the single bed in front of her, coupled with the woman’s previous words, and what she had seen on her phone.
Ji Yunqi had a general idea of what the girl’s life was like.
Just like her, she was an orphan, struggling alone in this world, just to find a glimmer of hope for survival.
Unfortunately, fate was cruel. Like her, she suffered from a terminal illness but had no money for treatment and could only wait to die. In the end, she died because of this terminal illness, which benefited her.
Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, Ji Yunqi sneered, “It seems we are very alike… a truly pitiable child.”
“Don’t worry, since I’ve inherited your body, I will live on for you.”
There was no reaction from her surroundings, which was within Ji Yunqi’s expectations.
She wanted to see what else was in the room, but Ji Yunqi saw something unexpected. She picked up the paper, which was exquisitely decorated.
Ji Yunqi recognized it almost at a glance – it was an admission letter!
What’s more, it was an admission letter from Rongcheng University. Ji Yunqi was very familiar with this admission letter because, a few years ago, her son had also studied at Rongcheng University. That year.
Her son was admitted to Rongcheng University, and she had taken her son on a month-long trip, taking him to many places he had always wanted to go but had never been.
“I didn’t expect to visit my son’s university.”
For some reason, Ji Yunqi suddenly felt a pang of regret. It was a pity that her son had already graduated and was working. Otherwise, she could have gone back to study with her son. The father and son studying together, just thinking about it was very interesting.
According to the date, she was supposed to report tomorrow or the day after. Ji Yunqi did not hesitate and put away the admission letter. She knew that this girl came from a poor family, and perhaps attending university was her biggest dream.
No matter what, she had to go. Since she had a second chance at life, she could properly experience campus life.
Over the years, her son had always talked about many interesting things at university, such as who was dating whom, who had a falling out with whom, or who lost a bet and had to kiss someone.
Although as a father, she couldn’t quite understand these young people’s hobbies, since she now had the opportunity to experience it, it was naturally a good thing. Afterward, she would have common topics with her son, wouldn’t she?
She had originally prepared herself to become this girl, to live for her, and to take care of her parents and family. But now, after learning that the girl was an orphan, her thoughts changed.
She wanted to go back. Since she was still alive, of course, she had to return to the family she cherished. Ji Yunqi didn’t believe her wife had died; she must have been injured.
Now that she could live again in another way, it meant she could continue to protect her wife and son. This was her life philosophy, and it was what she always believed she should do most.
Although she was now a woman, she was still her son’s father and her wife’s husband. This would not change, simply because she knew that her wife and son would not dislike her regardless of what she became.
It’s just that she needed some time to adjust. If she went back suddenly, she worried it would shock them. Moreover, she needed to recuperate; her current body was too weak.
Most importantly, since she had inherited everything from the girl, she naturally also inherited her identity. The convenience of her previous identity would be unusable. She needed to earn money in the identity of this girl, Ji Yunqi.
After searching the house, Ji Yunqi had an unexpected find: an old-fashioned laptop!
Looking at this computer, Ji Yunqi could only return to her old profession. After all, in her youth, she was a web novel author. Even in middle age, she still read popular novels that young people liked.
She knew what content would attract the attention of contemporary young people.
