Transmigrating To The 80s To Become Stepmom To Five Bigwigs Chapter 453 - I'm Not Really Dead; I'm Just Returning Home

Chapter 453 - I'm Not Really Dead; I'm Just Returning Home

Mu Jingzhe hadn't expected Ji Buw.a.n.g to use the word 'abandon' even at this point. "This isn't considered abandonment, right?"

"Why not? If you leave just like that, you'll be abandoning me."

Ji Buw.a.n.g held Mu Jingzhe's hand. "Listen to me, if you dare abandon me after doing this, I'll catch you even if I have to travel 30 years into the future."

"Haha." Mu Jingzhe laughed out loud. "You won't be able to catch me. By the time you live for 30 more years, I'll also have lived there for 30 years. In 30 more years, there might even be robots where I live."

Besides, they weren't in the same s.p.a.ce and time. This was an alternate world in a novel.

"I'm not afraid of robots either. If you dare to leave, I'll catch you." Ji Buw.a.n.g held Mu Jingzhe. He was afraid that she would really leave, but he didn't dare use force.

"I already said that you won't be able to catch me." Mu Jingzhe didn't argue with him. "During this s.p.a.ce-time trip, by getting the chance to meet, fall in love with, and even marry a handsome man like you, I've gained a lot.

"But the heavens probably can't stand seeing me marry you, so they want me to go back."

Ji Buw.a.n.g's hand trembled. "Alright, that's enough. You don't have to say anything else. I won't allow you to go back."

"This isn't up to us. Life and death are up to fate." Feeling increasingly weak, Mu Jingzhe quickly said, "Ji Buw.a.n.g, remember that I will not be really dead when I die. It will be just Mu Jingzhe's body that's dead, and my spirit and soul might have returned to the modern world 30 years into the future."

"Mu Jingzhe, shut up. You won't die!" This was the first time Ji Buw.a.n.g was so angry. "Even if it's just your physical body, you're not allowed to die. Don't talk to me about 30 years ago or 30 years down the road. I don't believe any of that."

"Why are you angry? I just thought I should come clean with you since we're getting married."

Mu Jingzhe wanted to say a few more words, but she really couldn't bring herself to do so. "Ji Buw.a.n.g, I just wanted to tell you that if I really die this time, you don't have to be too sad. I won't really be dead. I might just return to the modern era. There's Internet there, and everything is awesome. You have no idea how happy I feel to see handsome guys every day.

"I haven't told you the truth yet. The modern era is actually very open. Unlike this era, there are many people who don't get married in their thirties or forties. They can also date a few times. Besides, no one cares if they're virgins or not. It's common for people to live together before marriage. I've dated many times and been with many men. You've suffered a loss in this aspect."

It would be strange if Ji Buw.a.n.g believed her nonsense. "Then the men you found must have only been mediocre. They probably didn't even know how to kiss. Otherwise, why would you have bitten my tongue?"

Mu Jingzhe: "I was pretending… Anyway, that's the truth. Believe it or not, when I get back, I'll fall in love and have lots of fun. I'm only telling you because you're so handsome.

"Don't be sad. Just live well. Even if you're angry with me, don't cause the children trouble. Then there's my parents. Since you've acknowledged them as your parents, take on the responsibility of a son and help me take care of them. Remember not to tell them that I'm not their daughter Mu Jingzhe."

After saying that, Mu Jingzhe curled her lips. "Actually, I think I'm also Mu Jingzhe because my name is Mu Jingzhe too. She seems to be me in my past life…"

"You're Mu Jingzhe to begin with!" Ji Buw.a.n.g really didn't want to hear her say these things. "Stop talking and conserve some energy. I don't believe a word you're saying, and don't even think of asking me to take care of your parents. They're your parents."

Ji Buw.a.n.g was fl.u.s.tered. "If what you said is true, I'll be very angry. When the time comes, you can forget about me taking care of them, I'll even take revenge on them. The same goes for the children. Aren't you concerned about them? I'll torment them then."

Mu Jingzhe laughed. "I know you won't. Ji Buw.a.n.g, this isn't the response I was expecting after telling you my biggest secret."

She was telling the truth, albeit modified slightly. It was possible for her to return to the modern era after she died, although the probability was extremely small. After all, logically speaking, unless her corpse came back to life, she should be dead.

However, since it was possible to transmigrate into a book, it was also possible for her corpse to come to life. Hence, that wasn't considered a lie.

She wasn't lying about the men either. After all, she had indeed had several husbands, as she would change husbands every time she watched a drama series. Other than the main guy, there were also many side characters who sneaked their way into her heart. In short, they were all her true loves.

She had said all this because she wanted Ji Buw.a.n.g to live well if she died.

She had made so much effort just to make sure he would live well without her.

She wanted to have a chance to say it, so she took this opportunity while she still had the strength to do so. However, she still couldn't bring herself to tell him to 'live well' in the end. Fortunately, Ji Buw.a.n.g should know.

How could he not understand? She had said so much nonsense just to make him give up. She wanted him to live well even if she died, but how could he let her die?

"Mu Jingzhe, don't talk nonsense. You won't die. I won't let you die. Let's hold on together and wait for help."

Ji Buw.a.n.g kept talking to Mu Jingzhe to prevent her from falling asleep. Sensing that her body was cold, he leaned over and hugged her to keep her warm.

This was effective. Although Mu Jingzhe was dizzy, she stayed awake. Actually, she didn't want to die either.

Ji Buw.a.n.g heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her like this, but in the end, she still couldn't take it anymore.

No matter what methods he used, Mu Jingzhe still couldn't hold on and eventually lost consciousness.

"Jingzhe…"

Under the light of the pager, Ji Buw.a.n.g saw Mu Jingzhe's dry lips and pale face, as well as her abnormal hands that had never been raised again.

Ji Buw.a.n.g wasn't sure if they were broken or something. He only knew that she hadn't moved them ever since letting go of the closet, which meant that Mu Jingzhe and her hands were in a very bad state.

If she hadn't held on for so many hours, she might have been able to wait another 24 hours for help. However, she had held on for so long that her body was covered in sweat, so she couldn't hold on anymore. Apart from exhaustion, there was also the danger of dehydration.

She wouldn't last long if she fainted now.

Ji Buw.a.n.g looked at Mu Jingzhe and muttered, "The heavens really can't stand to see me live well…"

He had at long last found happiness and was about to step into the marriage hall, yet… the heavens were treating him like this now.

How was he going to live without Jingzhe?

An accident had split the world into two—a world underground and another world above the ground.

At that moment, both worlds were filled with despair.

Shao Qihai, Shao Dong, and their group arrived as fast as possible. Halfway there, they encountered a road collapse and had to take a detour. When they arrived, the rescue operation had already begun.

However, progress was a little slow because the entire county was affected and the rescue equipment and manpower were limited.

Shao Qihai and his group were the first batch of reinforcements to arrive of their own accord, bringing over the first batch of supplies.

Considering the danger, the rescuers at first wanted them to go back, but Shao Qihai and the others stood in front of them and said that they could do it.
