Chapter 71: Ye Mingkong’s Internal Conflict
Following the sound, Ji Yunqi saw her wife staring blankly into the depths of the sea of clouds at the Buddha’s light.
At this moment, she could only sigh in her heart. Although she had been telling her wife for many years that they were civilized people and shouldn’t just exclaim “Holy crap! So f**king beautiful!” every time they saw beautiful scenery when traveling…
It was too undignified! Cultured people should speak like cultured people!
At this time, they should say something like…
“This beautiful scenery truly pleases my heart~ At this very moment, I should take out my 64 million front-facing camera to capture this scene and keep it as a memento~”
Although she had this thought, Ji Yunqi didn’t say it out loud. She simply took out her phone and took a picture of the scene.
However, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. She really didn’t expect to encounter such a beautiful scene on this trip. Otherwise, no matter what, she would have brought the single-lens reflex camera from home, as it was a waste not to.
But it was meaningless to say all this now. Being able to capture it with a phone was acceptable. Such a view was rare and depended on personal providence.
It was like encountering something that couldn’t be sought after. She didn’t know when she would see it again. Perhaps tomorrow, or perhaps she would never have the chance again in her lifetime.
Gazing at the Buddha’s light ahead, Ji Yunqi’s heart also became incredibly calm…
The conditions for forming such magnificent Buddha’s light were extremely harsh, but in the end, it was just a fleeting spectacle. After a while, it would eventually return to its most primal state.
That is, to the light and crystals it was before it formed…
Shining and emitting heat, showing off to the world could not be maintained for too long. The Buddha’s light that appeared in the world each time did not have the same formation conditions.
But they all had such a unified name, as if they were a family…
They took turns shining and emitting heat, announcing their existence to the world.
She seemed to be…
Just as Ji Yunqi’s thoughts began to drift, a cold wind blew past. Ji Yunqi, wearing only a thin black long gown, felt her soul return to her body with this gust of wind.
Although the chill was far from bone-chilling, for someone with her poor health, it was already a bit unbearable.
Ji Yunqi’s discomfort was noticed by both Ye Mingkong and Luo Yao. Just as Ye Mingkong was about to see what was happening, Luo Yao was a step ahead of him!
Luo Yao took the black coat she had been holding since getting out of the car and draped it over Ji Yunqi. The large black coat instantly engulfed Ji Yunqi.
She looked rather bulky…
“As expected, this little loli really isn’t suited to wear a mature woman’s clothes~”
The teasing words spat out from Luo Yao’s mouth made Ji Yunqi’s discomfort from being dressed by this woman disappear.
At this moment, she felt utterly humiliated!
A man in his fifties who had become an 18-year-old girl, and then being teased as a “little loli” by the goddess who had once liked her. Who could endure this?
As for Ye Mingkong, his mouth was slightly agape, but he couldn’t say a word. A sense of guilt washed over him.
Why didn’t he notice?
Clearly, her husband was not feeling well, yet in this cold place, he was only thinking about putting on warm clothes himself, neglecting his husband.
Even when her husband was feeling cold, he couldn’t provide warmth immediately. Instead, it was the person he had always disliked who provided help at the first moment.
If this were in the past, he would have certainly reacted, but now he didn’t…
He didn’t even resent Luo Yao, because the black coat wasn’t something Luo Yao took off her own body, but something she had been holding all along…
Luo Yao was already wearing a coat and obviously wouldn’t be cold in this place. The fact that she could casually bring an extra one likely meant she had noticed her wife was wearing too little when they parked…
That’s why she brought one…
The key point was that she hadn’t said anything or provoked him. Based on this, he realized how incredibly childish he had been…
“Uh…” Ji Yunqi came back to her senses and quickly looked back. Seeing that her wife had no reaction, she felt a little confused, but the threat of the cold ultimately overpowered her worry.
She did not refuse Luo Yao’s kindness at this moment but accepted it calmly: “Thank you, I’ll return the clothes to you later.”
Luo Yao nodded. Ji Yunqi’s reaction was completely within her expectations, or rather… this was very typical of Ji Yunqi…
“Wifey, I’m going back to the car to change. Don’t run around.”
“Oh…” Before Ye Mingkong could offer to accompany her, her husband had already run off.
……….
“You’re very conflicted?” Luo Yao’s words struck the depths of Ye Mingkong’s heart like a sharp knife.
These few words seemed to forcefully pry out the shame within Ye Mingkong’s heart…
At this moment, shame and self-reproach were intertwined in the depths of Ye Mingkong’s heart, making him unable to say anything unkind to Luo Yao.
Finally, he just nodded silently…
“Why?”
Ye Mingkong turned his head to look into Luo Yao’s eyes. This was the first time he wanted to ask this woman, this woman he had previously disliked so much…
“Because I want to protect her, but I always neglect her. I…” At this point, Luo Yao had basically understood what this guy was struggling with.
She knew the Ji Yunqi couple quite well, and she understood their feelings just as well.
They were extremely affectionate and would never betray each other. This was a rare marvel in this era, and even in the previous era!
In today’s society, how many people are truly loyal to love?
But this couple had achieved it… Their love had even transcended life and death, transcended gender, and was solely focused on each other…
They were not influenced by external forces, nor were they tempted by anything else. From beginning to end, they remained constant. In their hearts, in their eyes, in their world, there was only each other.
And in situations like this gender swap, it was normal for Ye Mingkong to want to protect Ji Yunqi in return. As for not being able to protect her well, Luo Yao could naturally understand.
After all, they had been so affectionate in the past. Ye Mingkong might have long been accustomed to the feeling of being protected and cared for by Ji Yunqi, so it was normal for her to subconsciously neglect him when the roles reversed.
Even if she felt a little reluctant, Luo Yao was still willing to guide this person who disliked her.
“It’s just that not enough time has passed. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it after a while.”
Ye Mingkong sighed softly. Did he not know this?
It’s just that…
Forget it. At worst, he would write down anything that happened on his phone’s memo and keep it with him at all times. That way, he definitely wouldn’t forget!
Since he had vowed to make his husband a good little wife, he would definitely fulfill it.
And the first step now!
Was to stop forgetting the things he needed to do to care for her!
