Chapter 99: Burying the Past
Although I couldn’t understand Xia Zijie’s thoughts, Ji Yunqi knew it was best not to let him know. Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to explain again.
But then…
This person, like Luo Yao, was very observant. He had already seen some things, and Ji Yunqi wasn’t sure if Xia Zijie would guess it himself.
However, she was already preparing for the welcome party.
For example, as the host, she needed to wear a dress, but Ji Yunqi herself didn’t know how to choose.
“Come, come, try this one~” In the fitting room, Tang Yun’er held a platinum-inlaid dress with a lewd expression, looking at Ji Yunqi.
Her expression was like a pervert, just short of drooling.
“Uh…”
Ji Yunqi subconsciously took two steps back, looking at Tang Yun’er defensively, “Yun’er, don’t be like this, I’m scared…”
As soon as Ji Yunqi said this, Tang Yun’er was immediately displeased. She was here to help Ji Yunqi choose a dress, so why was Ji Yunqi looking down on her?
“You little brat, I’m here to help you choose, and you’re still disgusted with me?”
“Uh… no, no, I’m just a little scared.”
“Hmph~ This is the last time~”
Ji Yunqi shook her head, feeling helpless. This person was really like a child, but the dress in Tang Yun’er’s hand was indeed not bad.
“Hurry up and change into it and try it on,” Tang Yun’er urged.
Ji Yunqi could only helplessly take the dress and put it on after a lot of effort. Looking at the mirror in the fitting room, Ji Yunqi felt an incredible feeling.
In the mirror, a beauty was wearing a platinum-colored dress with her hair tied up, making her look exceptionally elegant and beautiful.
Such beauty, Ji Yunqi had only seen on TV before, and she never thought that one day it would be herself.
“This is… me…”
“Are you done yet?” Just then, Tang Yun’er impatiently barged in, but the moment she saw Ji Yunqi, Tang Yun’er completed the step she hadn’t completed before.
She actually… started drooling…
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t drool.”
“Mmm…” Wiping the corner of her mouth, Tang Yun’er came back to her senses and her eyes towards Ji Yunqi changed.
After sizing Ji Yunqi up and down, Tang Yun’er nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad~ Very nice~”
When Ji Yunqi looked in the mirror again, she also felt a sense of relief. Thinking back a few months ago, when she first took over this body.
She was so weak, so emaciated, as if she could fall down at any moment.
But after taking good care of her body for these months, although there weren’t many significant changes, at least her complexion had improved, and she had completely escaped the sub-healthy state.
The only drawback was the height, which couldn’t be compensated for. Of course, she could still comfort herself by wearing high heels.
………….
“Wow, you’re so beautiful! I can’t wait to see what those perverted men will look like when they see you tomorrow night at the welcome party~”
“Okay, okay, stop messing around, it’s time to go home. See you tomorrow~”
“Alright, I’m still a little disappointed~”
………….
Just as Ji Yunqi was packing her things and preparing to go home, Ye Mingkong called.
“Hello, what’s up? I’m about to go home.”
“Come to the school gate, I’ll take you somewhere.” Ye Mingkong’s calm voice came from the other end of the phone.
This also made Ji Yunqi puzzled. The welcome party was tomorrow, so why go out now?
She looked at the sky overhead. It was almost evening, so what could be done by going out at this time?
Although she was a bit puzzled, Ji Yunqi still did as she was told and found Ye Mingkong.
Passing through the crowd, she finally saw Ye Mingkong waiting quietly for her at the school gate. Ji Yunqi smiled and then ran towards Ye Mingkong.
“You’re here?”
“Yeah, so where are we going?”
Seeing this, Ye Mingkong picked up a box from the ground, “We’re going to bury our past with our own hands.”
Ji Yunqi was slightly stunned. She looked at the box in Ye Mingkong’s hand and roughly guessed what it was. She had almost forgotten about this matter.
If Ye Mingkong hadn’t mentioned it, this thing would probably still be there.
“Okay, let’s go. It’s time for the past to truly pass.”
Ji Yunqi did not refuse. This matter should have been done by their son, but now it was being completed by themselves, which seemed more meaningful.
Half an hour later…
Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong arrived at the cemetery in Rongcheng. It was getting late, and there were not many people in the cemetery, but they still spotted a white figure with sharp eyes.
Although she couldn’t see her face clearly, Ji Yunqi could tell that the person had an extraordinary aura, and Ji Yunqi felt that the person seemed very familiar.
It was as if she had seen her somewhere before.
The white-haired woman seemed to sense something and turned her head to meet Ji Yunqi’s gaze across the distance.
With just one glance, Ji Yunqi was stunned. She finally understood why she felt the person looked familiar.
It turned out that this person was Tang Yun’er’s mother. As for why Ji Yunqi was so sure of this guess, it was naturally because of their almost identical faces.
However, Ji Yunqi only exchanged a glance with her and had no further interaction.
After all, they were strangers and had only met by chance.
“Let’s go,” Ye Mingkong took Ji Yunqi’s hand and walked towards the pre-booked spot.
They were husband and wife, so they should be buried together. At this moment, Ji Yunqi also held the urn that belonged to her… ashes…
Yes, it was the ashes that Ji Yunqi had almost mistaken for flour and eaten a few months ago…
This was also something Ye Mingkong remembered while cleaning today. If it wasn’t dealt with, it would have been almost forgotten.
Looking at the ashes being buried with their own hands, Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong exchanged glances and saw a playful expression on each other’s faces.
Yes, in this cemetery, they were probably the only ones who could laugh heartily. After all, no one could be happy when burying their loved ones.
But they were different. They weren’t burying their loved ones, but themselves, their past selves.
“I buried myself, this is really interesting. No one would believe me if I told them,” Ye Mingkong joked.
Ji Yunqi also sat leisurely beside him, looking at the two tombstones in front of her, secretly laughing.
Yes, others buried others, but they buried themselves.
Ji Yunqi reached out and touched the tombstone in front of her, and she had some different feelings in her heart.
In this way, she had also made a certain degree of separation from the past. From now on, she didn’t have to be completely bound by the past.
As the saying goes, people should look forward. It seemed inappropriate to always confine her thoughts to her past identity.
Perhaps, she could truly relax and accept her current identity as a young girl, to be loved, cared for, and protected.
She no longer had to carry everything on her own like before.
………..
This trip was just to bury the past.
“It’s time to go home. Tomorrow is the welcome party, so you should get some good rest.”
“That’s right. Remember to come tomorrow.” Ji Yunqi blinked her eyes and made a playful gesture, which made Ye Mingkong’s blood surge.
“Qí biàn ǒu bù biàn, fúhào kàn xiàngxiàn~~~” (The change and constancy of odd and even, look at the quadrant by the symbol)
Ye Mingkong quickly recited a cleansing mantra in his heart, and then he recovered. He was in a recuperation period and could not be tempted!
Seeing that Ye Mingkong beside her seemed unresponsive, Ji Yunqi was a little confused. Usually, if she made any tempting moves, Ye Mingkong would have already made a move to touch her.
Why was there no reaction today?
However, since they were still in public, Ji Yunqi didn’t do anything more excessive, as it would be bad if they were seen.
“What’s wrong? Have you quit drinking? You don’t have any reaction.” Ji Yunqi said, with a hint of unnoticeable grievance in her tone.
Ye Mingkong had a hard time explaining. How could he quit? He was just recuperating for a while, saving up…
“Hmph, if you don’t speak, I’ll deal with you when we get back!”

………
Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong left the cemetery, bickering and laughing. However, not long after they left, a familiar figure appeared at the place where they had buried the ashes.
Xia Zijie looked at the two tombstones side by side, on which were engraved two names he was extremely familiar with.
[Ji Chengtian]
[Ye Yun Chu]
These two names were too familiar to him. He had originally just wanted to visit his elders, but he did not expect to have an unexpected gain.
“Burying themselves? Interesting…”
Although he didn’t hear much, Xia Zijie grasped some keywords. At this moment, a crazy guess emerged in Xia Zijie’s mind.
“Could it be…”
“Hahahaha!”
No one noticed the fleeting madness in Xia Zijie’s eyes, nor did anyone notice the tenderness behind the madness.
………….
*Creak…*
As the door was opened, Ji Yunqi heard a scream as soon as she entered the house.
“No, no, I don’t want it, I don’t want it, woo woo woo…”
The scream was so tragic that it made Ji Yunqi’s scalp tingle. Following the sound, she saw “Ji Chengyun” lying at the door of the room, desperately trying to crawl out.
Looking at the tear stains on his face, Ji Yunqi knew that this was her daughter-in-law…
“Daughter-in-law, what’s wrong?” Ji Yunqi asked.
At this moment, Ji Yunqi’s voice was like sweet dew from heaven. For Zhang Xinrou, it was like a blessing from heaven. As if she heard her call,
“Dad! Dad, save me quickly, I can’t take it anymore… woo woo woo~~”
Ji Yunqi’s mouth twitched. She finally knew what was going on. She could only say that her son was ruthless enough to squeeze her like this.
Just as Ji Yunqi was about to step forward to help her up, she heard Zhang Xinrou wail again.
“Uh, no, no, Dad is here, how dare you be so presumptuous!” Ji Yunqi followed Zhang Xinrou’s gaze and saw Ji Chengyun inside the room, dragging her towards the house with his clothes in disarray.
“Son, stop quickly, you can’t do this.”
Before Ji Yunqi could walk over, Ji Chengyun suddenly exerted force and dragged her into the room, “Dad, don’t worry about it. This is a matter between us husband and wife. You and Mom have fun~”
Then, Ji Yunqi was met with a bang.
Looking at the closed door, Ji Yunqi could only sigh helplessly.
“Daughter-in-law, it’s not that Dad doesn’t help you, but Dad can’t help you…”
Ye Mingkong also stepped forward at this time and patted Ji Yunqi’s shoulder, “If we can’t manage it, then let’s not. Let’s just eat and rest well.”
“That’s true.”
Ji Yunqi could only look at the door helplessly, and all her emotions turned into a sigh.
………….
The next morning…
Ji Yunqi slept soundly for the first time in a long time. She hadn’t slept until she woke up naturally for a long time. There had been too many things happening recently.
She had to arrange her son’s wedding and deal with the school’s welcome party, which was really troublesome.
But today, she could finally solve the first matter. Anyway, the welcome party was in the evening, and there would be no more rehearsals during the day.
She would put on the dress when the time came.
But when she thought about wearing that dress in front of thousands of people tonight to host the event, Ji Yunqi felt a little guilty.
This was completely different from her previous job, mainly because the dress was a bit too revealing, although it was beautiful…
As Ji Yunqi was thinking about these things, Ye Mingkong rolled over and pulled Ji Yunqi all the way to the other side of the bed, instantly moving her from the left side of the bed to the right.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Ji Yunqi’s breathing quicken.
“What are you doing? You scared me to death.” She didn’t care anymore and punched Ye Mingkong in the chest.
“You’re so annoying!”
“Not bad, not bad, you’re becoming more and more like a pampered wife~”
Ji Yunqi didn’t say anything to Ye Mingkong’s teasing words, which was considered tacit consent. After all, it was useless to explain now.
Moreover…
Ji Yunqi could also feel that being loved like this felt really good, and she could live more easily.
Perhaps this was human nature…
Everyone yearns to be loved, and men too, but due to their identity as men, they had to be strong, and thus gradually forgot this basic human sentiment.
“Why aren’t you objecting now?”
Ji Yunqi didn’t say anything, she just buried her head in Ye Mingkong’s chest and rubbed it, “I am your pampered wife now, so you have to learn to protect me, understand?”
Ji Yunqi’s change was too sudden, which made Ye Mingkong stunned for a moment. Then he hugged the cute little person in his arms.
“I also promise you, I will definitely protect you, I promise!”
