Chapter 1689: Chapter 1690: Sarcastic Words
"Excuse me, madam, where is the path?" Wei Yingyue was most worried about Liang Xinyue and hurriedly asked.
Daji smiled and tapped lightly with her fair hand. At this moment, the semicircular terrace suddenly flickered with strange colorful lights, which gathered together and gradually formed a staircase. This colorful staircase unexpectedly led straight up into the high sky outside!
"Is this... this the Path to Heaven?" Xu Mingjie was a bit dumbfounded. He was extremely afraid of heights, and he didn’t dare to go up like this.
"No mistake." The chivalrous man nodded beside him.
You paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, since we’ve found a way out, let’s discuss who the three spots are for now. First, the first spot is definitely for Xiao Xiao. Everyone agrees with this, right?"
"No objection." Deng Fang shook her head.
"I have no opinion." Xu Mingjie shrugged.
"So, for the remaining two spots..."
"I won’t go up, this spot can go to Elder Sister Wei." Deng Fang suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingjie couldn’t stand it anymore and looked at Deng Fang, hurriedly asking, "Fangfang, why?"
Seeing Xu Mingjie approaching, Deng Fang rolled her eyes and said coldly, "Get lost, seeing you makes me sick."
"Fangfang, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Earlier in the fog, I don’t even know how I became like that myself."
Deng Fang remained cold with a frosty tone, "Humph, this is the flaw of you men, you usually behave well, of course, it doesn’t show. That fog is just a medium; what it truly reveals is your nature! This shows that you’re this kind of person."
"I... oh dear!" Xu Mingjie was growing anxious and stomped his foot several times, saying to Deng Fang, "Then what do you want me to do for you to believe me?"
Deng Fang twitched her lips and said coldly, "Didn’t I say before? If you jump off here, I’ll forgive you."
"Really." Xu Mingjie looked at Deng Fang full of hope.
"Believe it or not." Deng Fang rolled her eyes again.
"Fine!"
Xu Mingjie gave a very brisk response, then immediately ran toward the colorful staircase. Xu Mingjie ran quickly and was soon dozens of steps away; he stood on the translucent colorful staircase and looked at the people inside Star-picking Tower.
Seeing Xu Mingjie running up the stairs, Deng Fang coldly sneered, "Xu Mingjie, I was wrong about you, turns out you..."
Just as Deng Fang’s heart was breaking, Xu Mingjie suddenly knelt down to her.
"Fangfang, I’m sorry. I don’t even know how I was blinded by folly just now to do such a thing, now I sincerely apologize to you." Then Xu Mingjie slowly stood up, looked down, and smiled, saying, "Although I have a slight fear of heights, looking from here you can’t see anything below, jumping from here shouldn’t be a problem."
Said that, without giving you any chance to react, Xu Mingjie directly leapt off!
"No!"
Seeing Xu Mingjie jump into the clouds, Deng Fang rushed out immediately, but on the way was controlled by a strange energy, she could only watch Xu Mingjie fall into the abyss!
"No!!!"
Only such hysterical cries could alleviate the grief in Deng Fang’s heart.
Regret, remorse, pain, multiple emotions layered upon each other making Deng Fang wish for death.
Du Yanan and Wei Yingyue slowly walked to Deng Fang’s side, the two exchanged a look and both sighed deeply. Women treat feelings seriously and persistently, everyone could actually see that Deng Fang’s earlier behavior towards Xu Mingjie was only because she was sulking, which is an emotion all girls have, generally some coaxing will quickly resolve it, but no one expected Xu Mingjie to really do it, and so decisively.
Fortunately, this is in the game, if it were in reality, Deng Fang would carry guilt for a lifetime!
However, unlike the reaction of a few girls, you were on the side applauding and praising, "Mingjie this lad is daring and responsible, he’s a real man!"
Du Yanan turned her head and angrily glared at you, saying, "Is this the time to say something so inconsiderate?"
"How is this inconsiderate?" You looked at Deng Fang and said, "Fang, at this point Little Jie has probably shattered to pieces. He’ll soon exit the game and return to reality. To be honest, not many people would do this, and no one else would do it specifically for you. Once this opportunity passes, there absolutely won’t be another like it. I personally suggest you return to reality sooner; what if this kid gets snatched by some hot girl, hehe..."
Your words hit Deng Fang’s sore spot, although she was always dating Xu Mingjie, she wasn’t Xu Mingjie’s first love, or rather, his secret crush.
Deng Fang and Xu Mingjie were classmates in middle school, they didn’t interact much at the time, even if they met face to face, they only nodded or greeted each other at most. During middle school, Xu Mingjie had a crush on a senior one year ahead of them, but he was shy and always kept it secret, this Deng Fang had always noticed.
After moving up to high school, the courage to finally confess was met with a cruel reality, where under the moonlight, the senior he admired was in someone else’s embrace.
Deng Fang took advantage of this moment and she always had good feelings towards Xu Mingjie. After seeing the heartbroken Xu Mingjie, she didn’t know where she got the courage but said this in front of him: "Xu Mingjie, I like you."
Such simple words, and the two just started like that.
During middle school, everyone was a child, not paying attention to much, just focused on studying. But in high school, as they were exposed to more social information, their thinking became complicated.
After Deng Fang and Xu Mingjie dated for half a year, she found out that Xu Mingjie had a very deep background, his father was the head of a big company and his mother worked at the Women’s Federation as a bureau-level officer; his grandparents were even more remarkable but Deng Fang didn’t ask much because what she liked was Xu Mingjie’s personality, not his family situation.
But Deng Fang not caring doesn’t mean others didn’t, at the start of senior year, because Xu Mingjie was late, he who usually rode a bicycle came to school for the first time in his father’s Bentley, from then on, the usually quiet Xu Mingjie began to attract attention.
After that, Xu Mingjie received love letters one after another from all directions, which he handed over to Deng Fang immediately upon receiving.
These letters, rather love requests, varied in content and were abundant.
Some were subtle, vaguely filled with love through lines; some were bold and fiery, actions that were utterly unacceptable, making Deng Fang think they must have copied segments from erotic novels.
Throughout his senior year, Xu Mingjie never lacked love letters, and there were also various people appearing around him, occasionally casting flirtatious glances, if it were an ordinary person, they might have already been involved with multiple partners.
