Love App, Girl, Come And Taste My Blood - Chapter 140
That feeling, she didn’t know whether it was joy or sadness.
Ye Wushuang opened her mouth, wanting to ask something else, but she couldn’t help but laugh.
“This child, she’s really gone silly. Others would be scared silly if they heard they were destined to be alone, but you’re still laughing.” Her mother looked at her daughter helplessly, a little disappointed.
Seeing that her mother seemed unhappy, Ye Wushuang tried to hold back her laughter, but she only managed to do so for a few seconds before the laughter spilled out of her mouth again.
“Sorry, sorry, it’s just that I find it funny.” Ye Wushuang concealed her feelings. She wasn’t laughing at the so-called “destined to be alone.” She was laughing because if she had really been told by the fortune teller, then she might be Qiu Ruishi’s destined person.
As she thought about it, Ye Wushuang’s smile grew wider, to the point where she had an overly happy expression that made her mother, who was watching, get goosebumps.
But it was precisely because of her daughter’s behavior that she felt relieved.
Even though her appearance had suddenly changed so drastically, from her attitude and tone, the person in front of her was really her daughter.
Her mother couldn’t help but take a few more glances. When Ye Wushuang was little, she would still snuggle up to her mother. When she grew up, she basically just talked to her while holding a computer. They communicated so little. The love that had once been on her lips had become a luxury among luxuries.
So, seeing that Ye Wushuang had reacted to her childhood stories, her mother simply continued to tell her stories from the past.
“See this photo? Because you kept having accidents, we asked the fortune teller to change your fate.”
Ye Wushuang showed a surprised expression. She didn’t believe in fate, and she didn’t believe that a fortune teller could change her fate. So, she showed a skeptical expression, which made her mother a little angry.
“You’re alive because of this fortune teller. He said you wouldn’t live past eighteen, so he asked us to change your name. You used to be called Ye Shuangshuang, and then we changed it to Wushuang.”
Her mother began to talk about the fortune teller’s guidance, even though she knew that Ye Wushuang didn’t believe in this stuff.
“Also, she said that your fate had to be a year older to break the curse of not living past eighteen. So, we pulled some strings and changed your ID card’s date of birth.” Her mother continued to reminisce, as if her thoughts were pulled back to thirteen years ago.
Ye Wushuang had been listening quietly, but when she heard this, she couldn’t help but interrupt. “Wait, when was I actually born?”
She thought about this crucial question. If even this detail matched, then Ye Wushuang really might be the so-called “destined to be alone” who wouldn’t live past eighteen.
“You were born on a very good day. I remember it very clearly. It was February 14th, Valentine’s Day.” Hearing that, Ye Wushuang finally couldn’t help but jump up.
She remembered that Valentine’s Day that had changed her life, but she didn’t expect that the so-called Valentine’s Day was also her Valentine’s Day curse.
If it weren’t for the Dating App, she would have been dead.
Ye Wushuang’s mind couldn’t help but recall the events of that day: encountering Qiu Ruishi in the bathroom, riding the bus with Qiu Ruishi, having an accident, and dying.
Thinking about it now, it wasn’t so much that Qiu Ruishi had absorbed her good luck as it was that because of Qiu Ruishi’s existence, her plot had deviated slightly, allowing her to survive.
But if the theory of eighteen years old was true, then her death would be upon her when she entered her freshman year of college.
Ye Wushuang began to feel uneasy, but it was quickly replaced by more things. Those things intertwined in her mind.
Her encounter with Qiu Ruishi on that day wasn’t a coincidence. It was destined. It was the so-called “destined” that Ye Wushuang hated, playing out between her and Qiu Ruishi.
She was both happy and sad about it.
“If she truly was the person Qiu Ruishi, the god of love, had been searching for, she would likely have died at eighteen.”
This was her cursed fate…
Ye Wushuang sat down on the seat again. Her mother continued to tell stories about Ye Wushuang’s various misfortunes. Ye Wushuang had no memory of any of these events. She felt like there was a large gap in her life.
“Am I really Ye Wushuang?” Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but mutter to herself. She didn’t know why she had this thought.
Maybe she was influenced by the god of love’s words, or maybe her anxiety was making her think too much.
“Silly child, what are you thinking? Of course you’re Ye Wushuang. You’re my daughter.” Her mother shook her head, looking at Ye Wushuang, who was acting silly.
Ye Wushuang hesitated. She couldn’t tell her mother about everything she was worried about. She could only ask in a roundabout way, “Don’t babies all look alike when they’re little? Mom, how did you recognize me?”
Her mother didn’t get flustered. She continued, “Of course. You were born after I was pregnant for eight months. Even if you don’t remember me, I’ll know you the moment I see you.”
Her mother shook her head, as if she had thought of something. She patted her leg and continued, “Speaking of which, when we went on a family trip when you were little, you actually got lost. We were so worried. In the end, you were sleeping peacefully in a tree.”
Ye Wushuang was surprised. She had no memory of this at all.
“That actually happened?”
“Yeah, we were all scared to death at the time. We were afraid you would fall out of the tree. But you were fine, like nothing had happened. You were smiling and calling out to a beautiful sister.”
Ye Wushuang’s face flushed red. She didn’t know why, but after her mother said that, she felt like she really had that memory in her mind.
“No, you must be mistaken. I called out to a beautiful brother.”
“How could I be mistaken? At the time, we were thinking, ‘Oh no, you won’t like women in the future, will you?'” Her mother joked, but Ye Wushuang couldn’t laugh.
It was true. Her mother was right. Years later, she really did fall in love with a woman.
“Hehehe, how could that be?” Ye Wushuang responded with a dry laugh. She wasn’t ready to come out to her mother yet.
She still had nothing. If the Dating App disappeared in the future, then she would have nothing. She had to be financially independent. She had to have a job that could support herself and Qiu Ruishi.
She couldn’t help but apologize to her mother in her heart, but on the surface, she denied the fact that she liked women.
“That’s good. I was worried that you would bring home a girlfriend one day. I might have to go to the emergency room.” Her mother continued to chuckle, brushing off the joke.
Ye Wushuang laughed along, but her laughter was clearly awkward.
They were mother and daughter, but they didn’t seem to have any similarities at all.
“Wushuang, you wouldn’t really like women, would you?” After a moment of silence, her mother returned to the question.
Because they were mother and daughter, her mother noticed Ye Wushuang’s unnatural behavior.
“No, how could that be?” Ye Wushuang shook her head, trying to hide her wavering emotions.
But her mother’s gaze became sharp.
“Is it your best friend, Meng Xing?”
“Your kidding?”
“Is it that junior you brought home?”
“Hehehe, how could that be? She’s just a junior.”
“It wouldn’t be Ruishi, would it? Oh my god, you’re such a toad!” When she mentioned Qiu Ruishi, her mother couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark to her dear daughter.
Ye Wushuang was angry, but she couldn’t yell at her mother. She could only say in a bad mood, “In your mind, Qiu Ruishi and I are so different!”
She didn’t understand. She was her mother’s daughter, but it felt like her mother had been bribed by Qiu Ruishi.
“Of course, there’s no comparison.” Her mother immediately responded. Ye Wushuang thought that her mother finally had a conscience, but the next sentence made her want to spit blood.
“Ruishi is a sweet little girl. She’s beautiful and polite, and she knows how to give gifts to this old lady.” As if she saw Ye Wushuang’s disdainful gaze, her mother pointed to the gifts nearby.
Ye Wushuang was stunned. She had never heard of this before. She turned around and saw that the so-called tonics were all for the brain.
And it seemed like the tonics Qiu Ruishi had sent through the fat cat before were all part of a series.
“What a good girl. It’s a pity your brother is so useless. Otherwise, I would definitely have him chase after Ruishi.”
“Don’t worry, even if he did, Ruishi wouldn’t agree.” Ye Wushuang squeezed out a few words from between her teeth. She didn’t know how to describe her feelings now.
Qiu Ruishi was clearly hers. Why should others be allowed to pry into her?
“That’s true. Your brother, sigh…” Her mother continued to sigh, as if she wanted to say something else, but she finally gave up talking to Ye Wushuang.
But even if her mother didn’t say anything, Ye Wushuang already knew about her brother, Ye Wuwei, from her parents’ conversation.
He had fallen in love with a woman eight months older than her mother. He was protesting to his parents, even saying that he would marry this woman, who was old enough to be his mother, as soon as he graduated from college.
“Sigh, he’s going to support two mothers in the future.” Her mother began to mutter to herself. It seemed like after mentioning her brother, Ye Wuwei, she no longer had the mood to chat with Ye Wushuang.
Seeing her mother had run out of stories, and having asked all her questions, Ye Wushuang announced she was going to take a bath and headed upstairs. Once there, she began organizing the story’s plot, transforming the chaotic jumble into a clear narrative.
