Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 1254: Please Spare Me

So today’s competition is quite exciting.

The contestants are also very nervous today, since the champion will be determined after this round.

The venue for this competition has been changed; contestants are in a glass room, which is completely soundproof. One can see inside from the outside, but not the other way around.

This is to prevent the contestants from being distracted.

The Rubik’s cube competition is highly demanding on mental power and requires intense concentration; really, there is no room for distraction.

Moreover, the mixed turning event involves two people working on one Rubik’s cube, starting to twist at the same time, and they must be perfectly in sync without mistakes, quickly restoring the cube -- one can imagine how difficult this is.

It’s slightly better for one person, but for two people, it truly tests their cooperation and awareness.

It’s said that this event was proposed by Di Mingjue -- truly an extreme of extremes.

Before the competition starts, the contestants adjust their emotions backstage, as reporters are not allowed throughout the entire Rubik’s cube competition.

The public can only see the live competition; it’s absolutely forbidden for reporters to interview contestants backstage.

Di Mingjue sits alone in the backstage rest area, without much emotion.

Shen Yilan is there too, as they are partners.

Their previous practice sessions went quite smoothly, and they could finish in sync for the most part, though Di Mingjue always took the lead.

Now that the actual competition is here, and the champions are to be decided, it would be a lie if Shen Yilan said she wasn’t nervous.

Furthermore, considering what had happened between her and Di Mingjue before.

During practice, she always kept quiet and dared not to say much, but she didn’t expect Di Mingjue to not trouble her at all, even acting as if the previous incident had never happened.

But Shen Yilan knew he wouldn’t let her off so easily; she also guessed that Di Mingjue perhaps wanted her to win the championship and then fall into ruin.

Therefore, Shen Yilan was even more nervous.

Soon it would be their turn to compete, and she was so nervous that her palms sweated and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Finally, unable to endure such torture, she hung her head and approached Di Mingjue, whispering with a slightly trembling voice, "Senior."

"Is there something?" Di Mingjue raised his eyebrows indifferently.

Shen Yilan bit her lip and finally mustered the courage to say, "I know I was wrong about what happened before. I stepped on her dress -- I mean, your wife’s dress, causing her to nearly fall. I realize my mistake now and I ask you not to pursue it anymore, okay? Besides, I now want to withdraw from this competition."

Withdraw from the competition? Di Mingjue was somewhat surprised to hear Shen Yilan say this. Wasn’t she always eager to make a name for herself?

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to covet him.

Seeing that Di Mingjue didn’t speak, Shen Yilan hurriedly continued, "Senior, I’m begging you. I really know I was wrong. I promise I won’t appear in front of you guys ever again. Could you please let me off the hook?"

Di Mingjue frowned slightly. She probably guessed that he would move against her after she won the championship.

Since she already understood, then he would not beat around the bush any longer; better to resolve this matter sooner.

With this thought, Di Mingjue looked at Shen Yilan and spoke bluntly, "Initially, I didn’t intend to let this go, but my wife, the woman you originally tried to trip, asked me not to hold it against you and to spare you."

Shen Yilan froze, as if she could hardly believe it. After a while, she bowed her head in shame, not daring to look at Di Mingjue, and whispered, "Thank you, Senior. Thank you, Mrs. Di."
