The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage

Ming Ye's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

It was because he was too calm that Su Wan couldn't help but look sideways.

Ming Ye said… He didn't have parents?

Su Wan raised the grilled fish that was constantly emitting a fragrant smell, but for some reason, Su Wan suddenly lost her appetite.

Meanwhile, Ming Ye was sitting quietly at the side, looking at Su Wan with a pair of cold and bewitching emerald eyes.

No one spoke, and the air fell into a long period of awkwardness.

Should I comfort him?!

However, Ming Ye looked too cold, arrogant, and strong. He did not seem to be someone who needed comfort, not to mention…

Su Wan was also in the position where her parents had passed away. In fact, her situation was not much better than Ming Ye's, and she was not qualified to comfort Ming Ye.

Su Wan's long eyelashes trembled. She had to pretend that she had not said anything and lowered her head. She took a bite of the grilled fish in her hand.

It was still as delicious as before. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It was very crispy and had the most moving freshness of river fish. However, Su Wan felt that she did not know how to taste it.

Su Wan opened her mouth in embarrassment. However, she did not know what to say for a moment.

The bonfire at the side was still burning brightly. The sparks reflected on Ming Ye's face, bright but lonely.

Seeing Su Wan's hesitation, Ming Ye's face suddenly darkened.

His gaze swept across Su Wan, so sharp that it seemed to pierce through Su Wan's entire body.

"I said I don't have parents. Are you very surprised?"

Su Wan's fingertips trembled under Ming Ye's gaze. It was as if her entire body was covered in frost, and she suddenly turned cold.

Su Wan knew that her reaction might have provoked Ming Ye.

After all, Ming Ye did not look like a person who liked to lie. He could have just not answered this question, but he just had to give the answer.

Su Wan's beautiful brows furrowed slightly. Su Wan hesitated for two or three seconds before she finally thought of a good answer.

"No, I was just thinking, if you're so amazing, could you be a character like the Monkey King?"

Su Wan blinked at Ming Ye as she spoke, trying her best to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Monkey King? Who is that?"

Ming Ye muttered these few words, and his usually sharp eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.

Looking at Ming Ye's confused eyes, Su Wan was instantly stunned!

She did not expect Ming Ye to not have heard of Monkey King's famous name!

However, she thought about it carefully. After all, who knew how many years had passed. Time had changed, and even the vast sea had turned into mulberry fields. Even the most famous masterpiece could be lost in the evolution of civilization.

Su Wan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she immediately smiled as she explained to Ming Ye.

"The Monkey King, also known as Sun Wukong, is really powerful! The Monkey King came out from a crack in a stone. He has no parents, but he has done many great things that people look up to!"

Su Wan liked to read books since she was young. When she was in primary school, she had read Journey To The West several times. However, she was reading a simplified version of it for children.

Ever since she was young, the Monkey King had always been Su Wan's "Prince Charming." As Su Wan spoke, her almond-shaped eyes shone like stars.

Ming Ye was stunned when he heard that. However, when he saw how energetic Su Wan was, he could not help but be even more curious about the identity of the Monkey King.

"That's a fictional character, right?"

After all, it was impossible for a living creature to jump out from a crack in a rock.

Even if it was him, although he did not have parents, he would not be like the Monkey King…

As Ming Ye thought about it, his originally calm expression became even more desolate, as if it was covered in a layer of gray.

Su Wan did not see Ming Ye's disappointment. She lifted her chin and made an unfathomable expression.

"So what if it's a fictional character?! The Monkey King will always live in the hearts of me and the millions of fans. He's even more alive than a real person!"

Ming Ye saw Su Wan's smug look and felt a little emotional.

"Indeed."

Whether it was a fictional character or a real person, as long as someone remembered them, it would not be a wasted life.

…

The sun gradually set in the west. When the river bank swallowed the last trace of the sunset, the night covered the entire land. Everything was silent, and only the rustling of insects could be heard.

After dinner, the bonfire crackled and burned, with a few sparks appearing from time to time.

Su Wan and Ming Ye sat around the bonfire. For a moment, they did not want to move.

That night, the moonlight was dim, and there were a few stars shining in the sky.

Su Wan raised her head and looked at the shining stars in the sky. The pain and haze slowly occupied her heart.

Too many things had happened in the past few days.

The things she could lose, the people she could lose, all gradually left her.

Sometimes, Su Wan did not understand why people had to live with such pain!

This feeling was terrible, just terrible…

Ming Ye followed Su Wan's line of sight and looked at the lone moon in the sky. His voice was deep and magnetic.

"Su Wan, I just found a cave over there. We can make do with one night, and then…"

Ming Ye paused. He looked at the porcelain-white side of her face and suddenly felt lonely.

"Then… When you and I leave Planet Lanhe, we will part ways."

Su Wan nodded in confusion. She was not surprised that Ming Ye suggested that they part ways.

"Okay."

After all, the two of them were not close. At most, they were comrades who had faced life and death together. It was normal for them to part ways.

Suddenly, Su Wan thought of something.

She looked cold and tried to ask Ming Ye.

"Ming Ye, have you heard of earth? Does Earth still exist?"

Ming Ye nodded. He tilted his head and looked at Su Wan with a faint voice.

"The earth you're talking about is the home planet that humans lived on tens of millions of years ago. However, due to overexploitation, the entire human race migrated from there a long time ago."

Ming Ye's voice was very gentle, but every word was like a knife. It cut into Su Wan's heart bit by bit, and she felt a faint pain.

"The current Earth is just a wasteland filled with sand and dust. There aren't even long-term settlers. There are only people who occasionally visit the mother planet of humans as a vacation. There are also occasionally people who are buried on Earth, saying that the leaves have fallen and returned to their roots."

Ming Ye paused and glanced at Su Wan in surprise.

"Are you planning to go there?"

Su Wan nodded in agreement. However, in less than two or three seconds, Su Wan shook her head again.

"Actually, it's not really my hometown. But the hometown I want to return to is my hometown from tens of millions of years ago. It's not the current Earth."

Up until now, Su Wan still had not figured out how she and Jiang Xuecheng came to this place. She wanted to go back every moment and even more so, she wanted to bring the two of them back together.

As long as she returned, she would have a way to make Jiang Xuecheng believe in her.

Ming Ye saw the worry between Su Wan's brows and could not help but purse the corners of his lips.

"You want to talk about time and space retrogression? That's very difficult. But it's said that the high priest has been studying this matter since an early age. If you want to know, you might as well start with the High Priest."
