Chapter 25 Silent Connection

They had agreed to drink a little at a time, but seeing that there were more and more beer cans on the table, Yu Si still held his forehead helplessly.

Looking at the girl opposite with rosy cheeks and watery eyes, she hesitated and picked up the skewers on the table with a hesitant look.

"Ci Ci, can I ask you a question?"

"all right."

"Why did you break up with Pei Yanchuan?"

Seeing the girl staring at him eagerly, Yu Si quickly added: "Of course, you don't have to say it if you don't want to. I'm just asking casually."

Yu Jing was beside him, indignant, her tone tinged with alcohol: "Cousin, why do you care why he did that? It's definitely that man's fault!"

Yu Si: “…”

She quickly stuffed the skewer into Yu Jing's mouth.

"Go and eat your food."

Seeing their interaction, Yang Cici laughed softly while holding her beer. She lowered her head and squint her eyes, her expression gradually becoming a little absent-minded.

"There's nothing bad to say actually."

You won't believe it even if I tell you.

She had mentioned the novel to Yu Jing before, but she never believed it.

So Yang Cici didn't want to talk about this anymore.

She changed her statement to a more "normal" one.

"Because I feel that Pei Yanchuan doesn't like me very much, he might choose someone else in the future."

If this is a setting that the novel cannot escape, Yang Cici will accept it.

She didn't want to refute this plot because it was exactly the same as what the system said.

She finally broke up with Pei Yanchuan.

And there was no quarrel or explanation between them.

She knew Pei Yanchuan's "true face" as a yandere, and that someone had also cheated, but the target of the cheating was Pei Yanchuan.

Yang Cici clenched the bottle of wine in her hand, tilted her head back and took a sip.

The spicy alcohol passed through her throat and Yang Cici curled her lips.

She didn't like the taste, but at this moment she understood those who drank to relieve their sorrows, because when they were drunk, they had no thoughts in their minds.

The stuffy chest suddenly felt relieved for a moment.

She unconsciously took another sip.

After hearing what Yang Cici said, Yu Sineng vaguely felt that there was a misunderstanding between the two.

Pei Yanchuan might have done something that caused Cici to misunderstand.

She opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.

"It's okay...let the past be the past."

Yes, just like that, we return to our respective life tracks.

For Pei Yanchuan and Cici, this is the best ending.

And judging from Pei's father's attitude, Ci Ci wouldn't be able to be with Pei Yanchuan smoothly even if she were together.

Yu Si took a bite of the skewer absentmindedly, and looking at the girl opposite her sipping wine, she couldn't help but reach out and take it away.

"Don't drink anymore. I'll go get you a bottle of water."

The thing in her hand was snatched away. Yang Cici sat there in a daze for a moment, then stood up with the help of the table, her tone a little confused: "It's okay, Sister Yu Si, I can buy it myself."

Yu Si quickly stood up and said, "I'll go."

"I'm really not drunk." Yang Cici stood up straight and smiled at her gently, "I'm very sober, Sister Yu Si."

“…”

It's hard to be convincing.

Yang Cici was indeed not very drunk. She was the kind of person who would get red in the face easily after drinking. She would only feel dizzy after drinking too much, but she was still conscious.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to break up with Pei Yanchuan so clearly that day.

Under Yu Si's worried gaze, Yang Cici walked to the refrigerator, took a few bottles of water, and then took out her mobile phone to scan the code to pay.

After paying the bill, she stared at the phone interface and frowned.

I seem to have... forgotten something.

"Ci Ci, have you finished shopping?"

Yu Si's voice came from behind. Yang Cici instantly withdrew her thoughts, turned her head and nodded.

"alright."

After having supper with Yu Jing and the others, it was already late at night.

It may also be because there are so many people chatting together, so Yang Cici doesn’t have any extra thoughts in her mind.

Yu Si sent her home, and only after she repeatedly promised him that she was not drunk and could take a shower did he leave with peace of mind.

“Snap—”

After closing the door, she was alone in the house again.

Yang Cici sat on the sofa, staring at the TV for a while, then slowly got up and went back to the room.

Lying on the bed, she opened her cell phone and looked at the chat box that had no messages for a whole day, her dizzy head thinking about things.

After breaking up, who can Pei Yanchuan chat with?

Li Xuanmeng?

It seems that this should be the case. According to the novels she had read before, the cannon fodder has been eliminated, and the male protagonist and the time traveler will begin to have entanglements.

Maybe Pei Yanchuan doesn't even have time to be sad.

Yang Cici lay on the bed blankly, muttering softly: "So this is my role..."

It's meaningless.

Not fun.

She turned her head and thought about it, then sent a message to someone.

[I'm sorry, ＞人＜, I was drunk last night and accidentally dialed your number. Did I say anything wrong? ]

Not long after, the other party sent a message back.

Li Xuanmeng: [No, no, you didn’t say anything.]

Yang Cici stared at the screen, no emotion visible in her brown eyes, even the hint of drunkenness was hard to detect.

She held up her phone and typed slowly.

What time do you get off work tomorrow? I'd like to buy you some coffee, okay? I'm sorry for bothering you so late last night.

Li Xuanmeng: [Um, no need for that. Actually, I've already resigned. I have family matters and can't continue working there.]

Yang Cici: [Okay~ Then when are you free? Or how about I order takeout for you? (≧ x ≦)]

But the other party still refused.

[Sorry, I don’t have much time recently. I will tell you when I have time! ]

Seeing this, Yang Cici didn't ask any more questions.

She stared at the chat history on the screen in a daze.

If you ask any further, you will be suspected.

So is the time traveler with Pei Yanchuan now? Because the other party seems very busy and replied in a hurry.

She closed her eyes, which became sore. Not only was her head dizzy from the alcohol, but she also felt an inexplicable anger and grievance.

How can this be!

She is still sad now, how can Pei Yanchuan find a new girlfriend!

This is not fair!

Pei Yanchuan is a big bad guy!

Yang Cici looked at the time. It was eleven o'clock.

As if she had made up her mind, she found the chat box at the bottom, clicked it, and dialed without hesitation.

"beep……"

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Yang Cici wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and was about to hang up.

Suddenly, the phone was answered.

“…”

But after answering the call, the other party remained silent.

Yang Cici didn't say anything either, just lay on the bed holding her phone.

In the silent room, she could hear the man's breathing, slow and familiar, as if... very close.

They seemed to be engaging in a silent competition, and whoever spoke first would lose.

This was their first contact since their breakup.

——It was also the first time I made a phone call in such silence.
