Chapter 117: The Dark Abyss of Hopelessness(1/2)

Yiyi even shouted: "Yes! My little sister has died more than a thousand times."

Jiajia said in disbelief: "Even I have died more than three hundred times."

Auntie smiled and said: "How else can I say that our uncle is a very lucky person. Even wild animals will avoid him when they see him."

Just downstairs, there was constant laughter and conversation.

Chen Ming, who was upstairs, opened his eyes and looked at the familiar surroundings with joy in his eyes.

My mind shouted "Chongyi, Chongyi!"

"Master, I'm here!"

"I have arrived safely. You can go back. If there is nothing important, don't come and disturb me."

"Yes, Master!"

The four sisters were discussing happily when Luo Wen's expression changed and she said: "He's awake, let's go over and take a look!"

After Chen Ming finished explaining, he sat up with difficulty. Just as he took a breath, he heard a gentle knock on the door.

Chen Ming knew everything in the hotel, and Luo Wen knew everything, and nothing could escape the eyes of ghosts.

Before Chen Ming opened his mouth, the door opened. Knocking on the door was not to ask for Chen Ming's permission, but to inform Chen Ming in advance that they were coming.

Seeing the crowd coming in, Chen Mingwushen's eyes shone a little.

Luo Wen was the same as before, without any change. It seemed that time had lost its effect on her.

The four sisters have grown from young girls to beautiful eldest girls. The four of them have the same appearance, but each has a different look in their eyes.

Chen Ming sighed in his heart, even if ghosts only have a lifespan of nearly a thousand years, they are not comparable to mortals who only have a lifespan of a hundred years.

The decades of mortal life have been exhausted, but they are still shining brightly. It makes sense for Luo Wen not to choose herself.

I didn't come here to get anything or fix anything.

I just want to return to the human community and comfort myself from the lonely and empty feeling of not being able to see my kind for so many years.

Luo Wen asked expressionlessly: "Are you awake?"

Chen Ming looked at Luo Wen and said, "I'm awake, are you okay?"

Luo Wen's eyebrows twitched, thinking that you are like this, but asked if we are okay, what do you mean by this.

"As long as you're fine, don't worry about us."

Aimai, who came over with a bowl of rice porridge, heard that her aunt's tone seemed wrong.

He immediately came forward and said: "Uncle, have some porridge, freshly made."

Chen Ming didn't pay attention to Luo Wen, but sighed and said: "Oh! I feel relieved to see that you are all well!"

Not only Luo Wen, but also the four sisters looked strange. Why did Chen Ming have such a tone?

Aimai stirred it in the bowl with a spoon. When she felt the temperature was right, she put it on Chen Ming's chest.

"Uncle, let's drink some porridge first!"

Chen Ming, who was often served by a group of people, opened his mouth as a matter of course, waiting for Lao Ai to feed him.

Aimai didn't care, so she took a spoonful and put it into Chen Ming's mouth and fed it to Chen Ming.

Luo Wen saw the look on Chen Ming's face and said with displeasure, "Hey, let him eat by himself."

Auntie smiled and said, "My uncle is weak, so let me feed him."

Luo Wen became even more angry and said: "Don't call me uncle, call me by your first name. He is not your uncle!"

When Auntie saw that her aunt was a little angry, she smiled and said to Chen Ming: "Old comrade, can you hold the bowl?"

As he spoke, he put the porridge bowl into Chen Ming's hand. When he saw that although Chen Ming's hand was shaking, it didn't spill out, he let go.

He stepped aside and watched Chen Ming eating melon with his three sisters.

Although Luo Wen kept a straight face, she secretly asked Luo Ling in her mind to help Chen Ming not to spill the porridge.

Chen Ming felt the heat coming from the porridge bowl, and felt satisfied in his heart.

Bingbing asked curiously, "Gu——, ah——. Mr. Chen, how did you survive alone?"

Chen Ming looked at the curious people and said, "I lost my way, so I found the pile of huge rocks. I hid in the crevices of the rocks to avoid predators from wild beasts."

"When you are hungry, go to the water to fish, or find some edible plants and grass seeds in the gaps between the rocks."

"Life was very difficult, but luckily I found a special kind of mushroom in the crevices of the rocks."

"After eating that kind of mushroom, you can fall asleep peacefully immediately, and you can sleep for several days."

"That's how it went until I discovered Jiajia."

Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard that Chen Ming had been missing for so long, just hiding in the cracks of rocks and sleeping, without any special adventures.

But I also feel sad for Chen Ming's days of being in a prison. Such boring days are really not something that ordinary people can endure.

Chen Ming saw that everyone was sad for his experience, his eyes were full of sympathy, and he thought of his past life.

It can only be described as a life of debauchery and extravagance, otherwise it would not have caused the body to be like this.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so I asked: "How have you lived in the past few decades?"

As soon as Chen Ming's words came out, Luo Wen's eyes widened, and the four sisters screamed.

"Decades?"

Although Chen Ming was a little surprised when he saw everyone's reaction, he thought about his notoriety and that everything here was the same as before, so few people probably didn't go out much. So he asked again: "Have you been here all these decades?"

Jiajia couldn't help it at first and said loudly: "Uncle, what are decades? It's only been three years!"

Chen Ming frowned and said, "Impossible? At least forty or fifty years have passed?"

Seeing how stubborn Chen Ming was, Yiyi directly opened the time on her mobile phone, stretched it out in front of Chen Ming, and pressed broadcast. "Beijing time, November 9, 2022, 11:57."

After hearing this, Chen Ming froze there, three years? Really only three years? Only three years, how could I become like this?

Seeing Chen Ming's performance, Luo Wen suddenly realized that he thought that after decades, he had become an old man. No wonder he spoke in an old-fashioned way.

But at the same time, I felt sad. I thought three years had passed like forty or fifty years. What kind of life was this?

Living a life that seems like years, this is literally turning a young man into a dying old man.

The four sisters laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.

Chen Ming suddenly said: "How come your mobile phone has power?"

Yiyi showed off: "This is not a mobile phone, this is my ghost. It never runs out of power and can be connected to the Internet all the time. It's awesome!"

Chen Ming nodded numbly, the shock in his heart still made him unable to calm down.

Luo Wen said softly: "Eat the porridge first to replenish your strength!"

Chen Ming picked up the bowl blankly and ate mechanically. Although he looked shocked, his hands that had been shaking just now were no longer shaking and seemed to have become stronger.

Chen Ming kept repeating a sentence in his heart: "I'm still young! I'm only in my twenties! I still have many years to live!"

A force of life took root and sprouted again in Chen Ming's decayed body.

Chen Ming finished the bowl of porridge in a daze state. When he woke up and raised his head.

Seeing that Luo Wen was the only one left in front of her, she looked at herself motionless, her eyes full of concern.

Chen Ming put the bowl on the small table aside, not daring to look at Luo Wen.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and then Luo Wen spoke.

"Are you still leaving?"

Chen Ming was silent for a moment and said: "I won't leave unless - unless you drive me away."

Luo Wen chuckled and said, "How could I drive you away? This hotel belongs to you."

"It has completely recognized you as its master! It is yours!"

"Although you regard me as your master, legally it still belongs to you. Your name is written on the business license in the hall!"

Chen Ming smiled and said, "I want to ask if there is a woman here. Is she still mine?"

Luo Wen shook his head and said: "That woman doesn't belong to you in the first place, unless you become the person she wants, but you are not that person now."

"What are the conditions required for me to become that person?"

"When you can name that woman, you are that woman, and then you will understand everything."

Chen Ming was silent for a moment and said, "Do you think I will become that person?"

Luo Wen was silent for a long time. Just when Chen Ming thought that Luo Wen wouldn't speak, Luo Wen said in a very low voice.

"I don't see that hope for you now!"

This time Chen Ming fell silent.

After a long time, Chen Ming said: "Then what kind of relationship do you think I should have with that woman?"

"A good friend! A good friend that we can get along with for many years! Or a partner!"
