A person's desires can easily extinguish their conscience, and this seems to be a common occurrence. However, after hearing Yi Yu's words, Mo Ming began to reflect on the people around him. He feared that the brothers who once stood by his side would be captured by their desires.
After all, desire is a terrifying thing. No matter how great a person may be, once they become its slave, they can turn into a cold-blooded creature that only cares for themselves and not for others.
Eternity is actually a pitiful person. In order to achieve his goals, he has lost the support of those close to him. Who can know if he feels heartbroken at midnight for the brothers he has slain?
"Big Brother, this matter won't ruin you. Who would have thought desire could be so frightening? I just believe that not everyone will succumb to desire. I trust there are still people who remain unaffected by it," Mo Ming quickly thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying.
Mo Ming fully believes in every brother around him; they are all people of deep loyalty and would never betray for the sake of desire!
In fact, this is true. Liufeng was once tempted by Kato Muteki, but Liufeng remained unmoved!
"Even with Eternity as an example, I still believe there are people who will reject desire. You are one of those people; I can see that you value loyalty greatly and would never do anything detrimental to it for personal gain," Yi Yu said with a smile and a nod.
Mo Ming smiled lightly, took a puff of his cigarette, exhaling clouds of smoke without saying a word, simply gazing into the distance.
After a long while, he finally discarded the cigarette butt and looked at Yi Yu, saying, "I hope the secret of Eternal Life ends with Eternity's demise. I hope the tragedy does not repeat itself; after all, human hearts are hard to fathom. I don't want my brothers to fall victim to such things."
"Brother, I truly did not misjudge you. The reason I chose to tell you this is because I wanted to hear the answer I sought from you," Yi Yu said happily as he patted Mo Ming's shoulder. "Actually, what can Eternal Life do? Living long can become boring; if it weren't for your Sister-in-law accompanying me, I might have been bored to death."
"Big Brother, have you ever considered that there might not be Eternal Life in this world? It's merely a beautiful wish of humanity. Your current state might just be an expression of longevity; when the time comes, you may also turn into a pile of dust," Mo Ming said seriously as he looked into Yi Yu's eyes.
"What you say might be right. Whether or not there is Eternal Life, I'm not sure. But perhaps as you said, we ultimately cannot escape becoming dust!" Yi Yu nodded with a smile and then put his arm around Mo Ming's shoulder. "Living means having something to protect; you have things to guard as well, which is why you fight for them. And I have things to protect too—this land beneath my feet. Born as a Huaxia person and dying as a Huaxia spirit; some things are already etched in my heart and can never change."
"Big Brother, the responsibility of protecting Huaxia can be entrusted to me. The 'Yihun' organization I created will forever be the guardian of Huaxia!" Mo Ming said with a smile.
"Hehe, does that mean I can retire now?" Yi Yu chuckled and said, "Alright, I've told you everything I needed to share. I think it's time for me to leave."
"Leaving? Where are you going? Aren't you searching for Eternity anymore?" Mo Ming asked in surprise.
"I'm right here beside you. When you see Eternity, you'll naturally see me again," Yi Yu said as he turned to leave, waving his hand back at Mo Ming while walking away. "Stay true to your heart and walk the path you started on!"
Watching Yi Yu leave, Mo Ming fell into silence for a long time. After a while, he sighed and murmured to himself, "Stay true to my heart and walk the path I started on. Can I really do that?"
When he returned to the hospital room, Ji Yue was already asleep, with a white cloth bandage covering her facial wound.
Mo Ming walked over and gently touched her face, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. This woman had almost been disfigured because of him!
Yet he couldn't figure out what kind of feelings he had for her!
Was the pain in his heart guilt or love?
Mo Ming kept asking himself what his true feelings were, but no one could provide him with an answer.
"Mo Ming, when did you arrive?" Ji Yue slowly opened her eyes, furrowing her brow. Upon seeing Mo Ming standing in front of her, a smile appeared on her lips.
"I just got here. Did I disturb your rest?" Seeing that Ji Yue had woken up, Mo Ming hurriedly withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly.
"Yeah, I felt someone touching my face, so I woke up. At first, I thought it was some big pervert, but it turns out..." Ji Yue paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "It turns out it's you, this big rogue!"
"Why am I a big rogue? Have you ever seen such a handsome rogue as me?" Mo Ming rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"I hadn't seen one before, but now that I've seen you, I can say I have," Ji Yue replied with a slight smile.
"Then may I ask why you think I'm a big rogue?" Mo Ming asked seriously.
"Because you stole my heart, yet you refuse to take responsibility for it."
Ji Yue stared at Mo Ming and said something that made her blush. Initially, she thought she could say it naturally, but unfortunately, she still felt a bit shy.
Upon hearing Ji Yue's words, Mo Ming was taken aback and then smiled bitterly, "After everything that has happened, do you still not understand? Being with someone like me means living in danger; you won't find the stability you desire."
"But loving someone makes even the hardships feel sweet. When I was kidnapped by those people, I was terrified. However, when I saw you come to rescue me like a deity, I felt that with you in my world, I would fear nothing," Ji Yue said earnestly.
"Really?" Mo Ming asked.
"Really. Actually, I'm very conflicted. I wanted you to save me because that would prove my importance in your heart. But I also don't want you to be put in danger because of me. Yet, in the end, you still came, and that moved me deeply. I feel like I hold a place in your heart," Ji Yue continued.
"Yes, you have a place in my heart. It might be love or maybe not; I'm also conflicted. I can't quite tell if it's guilt that makes me willing to take risks for you or if I've already fallen for you and don't want anything to happen to you," Mo Ming said honestly. "Just give me a little more time to think it through before I answer your question."
"Then you should at least give me a deadline, right? If you're thinking about this for a lifetime, does that mean I'll have to wait a lifetime?" Ji Yue replied.
"When I've finished what I need to do, that's when I'll answer your question," Mo Ming thought for a moment and said.
"How long will that take?" Ji Yue asked.
"It won't be too long," Mo Ming replied. "Maybe three to five days or perhaps a year or so. Once everything is truly settled, then I'll think about matters of the heart."
"Alright, I can wait for you. Even if I don't get my answer right away, I'll still wait for you. But you have to promise me one thing," Ji Yue said.
"What is it? Just tell me; if it's something I can do, I won't refuse," Mo Ming responded.
"Okay then, marry me," Ji Yue said with pursed lips.
"It's not really a good idea. Marrying you is simple, but if I don't like you, it would be a tragic marriage," Mo Ming said with a bitter smile as he pinched his nose.
"Hehe, I was just teasing you. I won't force you; I just want you to promise me not to deliberately avoid me and give me a chance to enter your heart," Ji Yue said, covering her mouth and giggling.
"That's not a problem. I never refuse a beautiful woman's knock on the door," Mo Ming replied readily.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yue's smile immediately faded. Covering the wound on her face, her expression turned somewhat dim. "Will there really be no scars left on my face?"
"There won't be," Mo Ming shook his head.
"But what if there really are scars? If that happens, I'll definitely become an ugly monster. Will you still say you love me then?" Ji Yue said, still worried.
"Uh, is that what you're worried about? You don't need to worry. As long as she is the woman I love, whether she becomes beautiful or ugly, I won't care. After all, time passes quickly and beauty fades; no one can escape this natural law."
Mo Ming then realized that Ji Yue's concern was not about her appearance but whether he would care about it. He shook his head and smiled.
"Really?" A natural smile appeared on Ji Yue's lips again.
"Yes, I have no reason to lie to you," Mo Ming nodded seriously and said, "Just focus on healing and don't worry too much, okay?"
"Got it. Will you stay with me during this time?" Ji Yue asked with a nod.
"Of course! After all, I've become a patient just like you. What a coincidence! It seems that every time we spend time alone together, it's in the hospital. Haha, it looks like something bad always happens when we meet," Mo Ming said with a bitter smile as he shook his head.
"I don't want this kind of coincidence. But it's really nice to have you here; I enjoy the days spent with you."
Ji Yue's eyes sparkled with a different light for a moment, but then that light disappeared as she lowered her head and tucked her hair behind her ear.
Upon seeing Ji Yue's action, Mo Ming felt a surge of heat in his heart, an inexplicable drive compelling him to lift Ji Yue's chin.
"Mm?"
Ji Yue looked at Mo Ming in surprise. Observing his expression, she seemed to have understood what he was about to do. To her astonishment, she found herself anticipating such a moment. The thought made her cheeks flush, and she lightly bit her lip, looking as tempting as a delicate flower.
Seeing Ji Yue like this made Mo Ming feel a warmth in his core, and suddenly, he had a clear answer in his heart.
He kissed Ji Yue's lips, and she closed her eyes, responding with passion.
After the kiss, while Ji Yue was still enjoying Mo Ming's affection, she felt his lips had moved far away. Feeling a bit awkward, she opened her eyes and met Mo Ming's gaze, which was filled with deep affection. Her face turned even redder.
"Ji Yue, I think I can tell you the answer in my heart now," Mo Ming said as he kissed her again. "I think I love you."
Upon hearing Mo Ming's words, it was as if a spell had been cast. Ji Yue wrapped her arms around Mo Ming's neck and kissed him fervently.
It felt as if the world contained only the two of them, oblivious to anyone who might enter the room. They continued to kiss passionately.
