I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

Then he whispered in her ear:

"Kiana, let me tell you something."

"It's normal not to want to say goodbye to the people you cherish and to be unable to let go of the past."

"You don't have to feel guilty about this, and you don't have to apologize to me and Himeko."

He first affirmed Kiana's idea, telling her that it was not a mistake, and then added:

“No one can become strong unconditionally. Compared to the pain that makes people numb, what can really make people move forward must be what she has gained.”

"So, when you can't say goodbye to the people you cherish, when you can't let go of the past..."

"Just think carefully about what that person left for you."

Ye Ming's tone was deep and gentle, as if the "that person" he was talking about was not just Ji Zi...

And myself.

"Courage, faith, hope, or just plain strength..."

"Think carefully about it, Kiana. The person you are attached to must have left something for you that you can never forget."

“Take it, embrace it, and then…start again.”

At some point, Ye Ming had hugged Kiana, and the same warmth soothed her loneliness when she left Ji Zi.

"Teacher Jizi..."

Thinking back on what Ye Ming had said to her, Kiana also remembered what Ji Zi had taught her.

But soon, another person appeared in her mind.

He also brought beauty to me, and when I fell into darkness, he was my only light.

But... when I think of what he left for me...

Kiana's heart began to tremble.

A sudden fear came over her and almost swallowed her up.

At that moment, from Kiana's perspective, the person who brought her light was gradually moving away, as if he would never come back.

She unconsciously stretched out her hand, trying to hold him back, murmuring his name:

"Ye Ming..."

317. I will accompany you to the end

"Ye Ming..."

Kiana's memory became clearer and clearer as her consciousness became confused. Ye Ming was clearly by her side, but she felt that he was getting farther and farther away from her.

Her pupils continued to dilate, and she had no idea what kind of blurry and terrifying picture she saw.

However, just when Kiana felt as if she was falling into an icy cave, and even her warm tears were about to freeze...

The pain of parting that should have come was replaced by a gentle voice:

"Well, I'm right here."

"!!"

The cruel memory was gently interrupted, and the gradually clear picture was covered with a veil of beauty, indicating to Kiana: It's not the time yet.

At that moment, she felt that the sky had brightened.

"oh, I understand now."

Feeling Ye Ming's body temperature, smelling his fragrance, looking at Ji Zi who was looking at him with gentle eyes not far away...

Kiana's limbs, which had become numb from crying and lack of oxygen, once again gained the strength to move forward.

"It's okay now. This time, I will try my best with Teacher Jizi to the end."

"Ah."

Ye Ming smiled and said:

"Let's finish the photo shoot in one go, and then go have some snacks~~"

After that, filming of the show went very smoothly.

The performance and dialogue between the two are much richer than the script that Ye Ming wrote based on his impression, and are more moving.

It turns out that only when the parties are together and revisit the past can brighter sparks be ignited.

··········

"Uh... not well yet?"

On the other hand, the girls outside the performance room had no intention of working at all.

"It's been more than two hours, and it's still going on."

"How on earth could it take so long to unfold?"

No one knew about the little incident that happened on the set. In their opinion, a long shoot meant a more important story.

Naturally, they became more excited, even to the point of being restless.

"Bronya, Fu Hua, don't you guys have any impression of it either?"

Keqing asked the few people who had been present.

"No, my memory of that time is already very vague, and I remember that the battle situation was not very ideal."

Bronya shook her head.

Just when everyone was still unable to come to a conclusion, Kiana, Himeko and the others finally came out of the room.

The expressions of the two silent people are very subtle, a little tired, but also a little relieved, and when their eyes meet, a hint of relief flashes in their eyes.

"Kiana!"

"Himeko!"

Others immediately gathered around, impatiently asking what they had filmed.

"Nothing much, just some conversation."

Jizi smiled softly and said:

"I really talked a lot this time."

Before anyone else could ask Himeko further questions, Mei noticed something was wrong with Kiana.

"Kiana... did you cry? The tear marks on your face are so obvious..."

"Eh? No, no..."

Kiana turned her face away subconsciously and said shyly:

"That's the makeup Ye Ming put on me."

Having said that, her obviously heavier nasal tone betrayed her.

"What happened? Why are you crying like this?"

"It's a long story, and I don't know how to explain it to you."

The previous experience was like a dream to Kiana. Until now, she could not tell whether what she saw was reality or a dream.

"Alas... I guess I won't get anything out of you. Where's Ye Ming?"

I asked curiously:

"Why didn't he come out with you?"

Ji Zi guessed, "He should still be busy, right? When he finished, he told us to go and rest first, as he still had things to deal with."

··········

Just as Ji Zi and the others said, Ye Ming was standing by the window of the performance room at this moment.

But he was not busy working, but looking at the scenery in the distance.

The cold wind in the evening made him feel cool, and the air outside the third ring road was very fresh, allowing Ye Ming's mind to function in the calmest state.

"You're here, right?"

Ye Ming asked the partner who lived deep in his soul.

--What's wrong?

"You've lied to me about something."

——Why do you say that?

——Do you want to believe the Herrscher of the Void’s unfounded conjecture?

"I didn't believe it originally."

Ye Ming explained frankly:

"After all, everyone is with me, from morning till night. If there is something you want to hide from me, it will definitely not escape my eyes."

——If that’s the case, then why…

"Because something suddenly occurred to me."

Ye Ming looked very relaxed, not at all like he was questioning anyone, as if he didn't care about the answer to the question.

"There is a person whom I can neither see nor touch. I cannot tell anything from her words and deeds. If she wants to hide, I may be helpless."

——…

Although no names were mentioned, the person Ye Ming was talking about had responded with silence.

"So, do you have anything to add to what the Herrscher of the Void said?"

——…

There was another silence. At this time, Ye Ming could only hear the evening breeze whizzing past. The few seconds of silence seemed to be infinitely stretched.

--No.

In the end, the system denied Ye Ming's idea.

——I don’t want to make any explanation about this matter.

"Well, I see."

Ye Ming stretched, then closed the window and returned to the camera.

"We also need to edit the footage. We'll be busy tonight."

——Don’t you doubt me anymore?

"I doubt your statement, but I don't doubt you."

Ye Ming explained:

"Actually, I'm just curious and don't care about the results."

He looked at the footage in the camera, and the conversation between Himeko and Kiana reminded him of many things.

"Look how sad Kiana and Himeko are, as if they will never see each other again."

"However, this was the case before the world lines merged."

"Kiana will never see Himeko again. This regret will always remain in her heart."

Speaking of this, Ye Ming's eyes were full of relief.

"But we changed these, didn't we?"

"Not just Himeko, but also Shin and Ying and the others, as well as Aji, Eden and Paduo and the others. Not to mention, we reconstructed the entire world afterwards."

Ye Ming smiled and said, "We did a great job."

Different from the reactions of his wives, Ye Ming never felt that there was anything sad about his past.

In his opinion, it was a magnificent and interesting adventure.

"We must be the right two people. We made countless right choices, which led to everything we have today."

"So I don't care if you're hiding something."
