Love App, Girl, Come And Taste My Blood - Chapter 139
The reality was that the cost of rewinding was now too cruel.
Ye Wushuang silently glanced at her Dating App again. The rewinding option began to display the remaining number of times she could use it.
Ye Wushuang’s rewinding count at this moment was 0|0, cruelly telling her that she couldn’t rewind her life and start over.
Seeing Ye Wushuang looking down, Qiu Ruishi tidied her hair and asked casually, “Do you want to go to my house?”
Ye Wushuang suddenly looked up. Her eyes were so bright that even the red pupils hidden within them jumped out. But after a few seconds, she seemed to think of something and finally shook her head.
“No, I have to go home today. Otherwise, my mom will tear me apart.” As she spoke, she made an exaggerated gesture, causing Qiu Ruishi to smile, but she clearly didn’t move.
“Really? You’re not coming home with me?” Qiu Ruishi didn’t give up on inviting her a second time. It was as if she thought Ye Wushuang’s acting was too bad, so she added a little something.
Ye Wushuang’s heart was torn. She longed to spend more time with Qiu Ruishi, but she had to consider more practical issues.
Especially since it was only the first day of school. Who would go to school and then go live at someone else’s house?
Although it was very difficult, Ye Wushuang chose to reject Qiu Ruishi again.
“Oh? Just because of a winter break, I’m no longer attractive to you?” Qiu Ruishi was still a little dissatisfied. She had managed to keep her princess disease from acting up and sincerely invited Ye Wushuang once, but she didn’t expect Ye Wushuang to resist her temptation.
“After all, we’re ‘exposed and dead’ now. Hehehe, let’s keep a low profile.” Ye Wushuang smiled awkwardly, but she couldn’t help but imagine various scenarios in her mind. Her rejection brought everything to an end.
“Goodbye.” But Qiu Ruishi didn’t want to hear Ye Wushuang’s nonsense. She simply picked up the book she had left there and prepared to leave.
Ye Wushuang quickly grabbed her. Qiu Ruishi smirked, thinking that Ye Wushuang had changed her mind. But when Ye Wushuang spoke, Qiu Ruishi wished she could curse Ye Wushuang, this stupid pig, in her heart.
“Wait, what about this teacher?” Ye Wushuang pointed at the married teacher who was still in a puppet state. Although she didn’t seem to have any problems, she couldn’t just stay in that position at school.
“Her? Didn’t you hypnotize her? Just undo it.” Qiu Ruishi’s gaze was even more suspicious, as if she didn’t understand why Ye Wushuang was asking such a stupid question.
It was clear that she had completely forgotten about controlling the married teacher.
For a moment, Ye Wushuang was speechless. She didn’t know what to say to express her complex emotions. In the end, she simply agreed, “You’re right. Let me see how to undo it.”
As she spoke, Ye Wushuang pretended to turn around and study the married teacher. But after looking around several times, she couldn’t find a way to break the it.
Ye Wushuang reluctantly turned back to ask Qiu Ruishi, but when she looked back, Qiu Ruishi had already left. The empty space was only left with her and the unresponsive married teacher.
She couldn’t help but smile wryly. Even without using mind reading, she could tell that Qiu Ruishi must be angry about her rejection.
But now, no matter how much Ye Wushuang regretted it, it was too late. Seeing that the married teacher didn’t seem to react at all, she thought for a moment and took the married teacher’s phone. Using the phone’s location and photos, she successfully teleported to the married teacher’s home, temporarily ending the crisis.
As for tomorrow…
Ye Wushuang didn’t know if the poison would dissipate on its own, or if the married teacher would still be bouncing around at school.
She thought about it and couldn’t help but sigh. Then, she pushed open the door to her house.
“I’m home.” Ye Wushuang called out to the inside. During this time, Ye Wushuang had completely controlled her emotions.
She never brought her emotions home, even though her face was becoming less and less like her parents’ child.
Ye Wushuang subconsciously touched her face. She stood at the door for a few seconds, but there was no sound from the room. Everyone seemed to be out.
The New Year was over. Ye Wushuang’s father had returned to his busy life as a worker, and her brother had gone back to school. Every time she went home, Ye Wushuang would mostly see her mother.
But strangely, no matter how early or late Ye Wushuang went home, her mother would always be sitting in the room.
Ye Wushuang used her see-through ability slightly and saw that the light in her parents’ room on the second floor was on. And there seemed to be a figure sitting there, looking at something.
Ye Wushuang focused even more and saw that her mother seemed to be holding a photo album.
It looked very old, and Ye Wushuang immediately thought of her dark history that had sunk to the bottom of Lake Daming. Thinking that she could use this dark history to coax Qiu Ruishi, Ye Wushuang didn’t hesitate to walk towards her mother’s room.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Ye Wushuang deliberately made a little noise so that her mother would know she was home.
Even so, her mother was startled. When she saw that it was Ye Wushuang who had come back, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Oh, it’s Wushuang.”
“Your tone sounds disappointed. Did you miss brother again?” Ye Wushuang rolled her eyes. Her mother’s favoritism towards her brother had reached a level of craziness that was even more intense than being in love.
As long as her brother wanted something, her mother would do anything to get it for him.
Ye Wushuang had known this since she was a child. She had always worn her brother’s old clothes and played with his old toys.
She lived in this kind of patriarchal family. For her parents, Ye Wushuang only needed to be a little cultured.
But now, everything had changed with the appearance of the Dating App. Ye Wushuang was no longer the person who was at the mercy of fate. She could make any decision and change her life.
But unlike her previous hatred and disgust towards Ye Wuwei, Ye Wushuang felt much more relaxed now.
At least, she was free now.
“No, I thought it was your dad who came back. I was going to show him pictures of you two when you were little.” Her mother gave an awkward smile, but she was still busy covering up.
Ye Wushuang didn’t bother to dwell on the issue. She leaned over to look at the photo album. When she looked, she saw a very old photo album.
It contained pictures of their whole family.
Her brother, Ye Wuwei, who was beautiful and delicate like a girl, Ye Wushuang, who was ugly and crying, and her happy parents.
Ye Wushuang looked at it with mixed emotions. This photo was taken when she was five years old, and now, thirteen years had passed.
“I can’t believe you two have grown up so much. Sigh, look at you. It’s like you had a genetic mutation. You suddenly became a big girl.” Her mother sighed about Ye Wushuang’s appearance, even suspecting that she had gotten plastic surgery during the winter break.
Ye Wushuang felt a little uncomfortable listening to these sarcastic words, but she didn’t dwell on it.
She knew that her change was too drastic, which caused extreme reactions from others. This was something Ye Wushuang could understand, but she didn’t want to continue discussing it.
Thinking about it, Ye Wushuang simply diverted her mother’s attention. “Mom, why did you name me Wushuang?”
Her mother finally showed a slight smile, as if recalling the past.
“Your father always wanted a daughter, so I worked hard to give birth to you. And your father said he wanted to treat you as a priceless treasure, so he named you Wushuang.”
Ye Wushuang nodded as she listened, but then she heard her mother sigh deeply. “But there’s another meaning… At that time, the economy was very bad. Our family was even more miserable. I worked day and night, but we couldn’t even afford to eat.”
Ye Wushuang saw that her mother had started telling stories, and she immediately wanted to run away. But she was too slow. Her mother had already pulled her in and started telling her about those years.
Ye Wushuang had to grit her teeth and continue listening. In fact, she was also very interested in the stories of the past.
“Then what happened?”
“Then, we ate tree roots and dug up wild vegetables every day… But you couldn’t. You were just born, and you couldn’t adapt to this kind of hard life. So… we planned to give you away and exchange you for food.”
By the end, her mother’s voice was almost inaudible.
Ye Wushuang almost jumped up, but she finally held back and continued to ask, “Then what happened?”
“Then, it was as if you could understand what we were saying. You knew we were going to give you away, so you died first.” Her mother’s tone became increasingly strange, but to Ye Wushuang’s ears, it sounded like a ghost story.
Ye Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then she burst into laughter. “Died? I’m fine, aren’t I?”
She touched her hands and feet, confirming that she had lived for so many years as a human.
“At that time, we thought you had died. But just as we were about to bury you, you suddenly came back to life… Dad believes in gods, and he was very grateful. So, we never mentioned giving you away again.” Her mother gave a wry smile. Her gaze at Ye Wushuang was even more complex.
“Are there any other stories?” Ye Wushuang heard something in her mother’s words and asked her more curiously.
“You, you’re such a disaster magnet! You die every time, and then you come back to life. Sigh… We were terrified each time. Finally, we couldn’t take it anymore, so we went to a fortune teller to have your fortune read.”
Ye Wushuang listened to these things she had never heard before. She even suspected that because of the change in the plot, her past memories had also changed.
She had no idea about her disaster-prone nature, and she had no memory of it at all.
“What did the fortune teller say?”
“The fortune teller said you were destined to be alone…” Her mother uttered the words softly. Ye Wushuang almost jumped up.
She never dreamed that she would hear the words “destined to be alone” from her mother’s mouth, and that it was about her.
