After finishing their late-night snack, Zhong Tingyue paid the bill.
As for why Zhong Tingyue paid the bill, it's because Chu Fang's willow tree had already repaid today's kindness.
Seeing his shameless appearance, Zhong Tingyue clenched her fists and slowly relaxed them.
The two reached the door and said goodnight to each other.
Gate 2004.
"You're back." He Yi turned to look at Zhong Tingyue at the door and waved her hand. "You're back just in time, come and lend a hand."
Um?
Zhong Tingyue was completely confused.
Upon entering the living room, I saw a young woman lying on the sofa. She was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with bright red lipstick, exquisite makeup, and a slender figure. She wore a black pencil skirt, which made her look alluring and seductive in the moonlight.
At this moment, the girl in the bodycon skirt had flushed cheeks and glazed eyes, as if she were in a dazed state, and stretched out her arms: "Wine, I want wine."
"Okay, I'll grant your wish." He Yi waved to Zhong Tingyue, and after the latter took her place, she went to the kitchen, took a carton of milk from the refrigerator, tore open the packaging, and fed it to the girl in the pencil skirt through a straw. "Here you go, this is imported from abroad, a 1982 Lafite red wine, isn't it delicious?"
The girl in the bodycon skirt, her eyes glazed over, looked drunk, and murmured softly, "It's...it's so delicious."
Upon hearing this, He Yi burst into laughter.
Zhong Tingyue gently patted the girl in the bodycon skirt on the back, while He Yi watched the girl finish her milk and clapped her hands: "Alright, it's late, I'm going to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'll leave your childhood friend to you."
He Yi went straight back to her room to sleep.
"Yueyue..." After finishing her milk, the girl in the bodycon skirt became a little more awake, squinting her eyes slightly. "When did you come to my house?"
This is my house, not yours. How much did you drink tonight? When did you come to my house? ... ...Zhong Tingyue twitched the corner of her mouth.
She really wanted to slap her childhood friend across the face, but she stopped herself.
There's no need to argue so much with an alcoholic.
She helped her childhood friend up and led her into her room.
... ...
Early in the morning, just as the sun was beginning to rise, Zhong Tingyue was already awake.
She opened her eyes, turned her head, and glanced at her childhood friend beside her, who was fast asleep with her eyes closed. She then sighed softly.
She was exhausted last night.
First, she gave her childhood friend a bath. Right after she finished, her friend started fussing and demanding to drink alcohol. She then gave her a carton of milk, and the friend gradually fell asleep. After falling asleep, her friend suddenly vomited. She then got up to tidy the sheets and made a fuss until after 3 a.m. before finally falling asleep. After falling asleep, her friend started pulling at her blanket again.
I didn't sleep well all night.
Her childhood friend is great in every way, except that she loves to drink, she's a complete alcoholic, and she doesn't behave herself when she's drunk.
Unable to fall back asleep after waking up, Zhong Tingyue simply got up.
After a quick wash, she went to the window where there was a vase filled with fresh flowers. She picked the flowers and put them aside, then picked up the willow branch that Chu Fang had given her the night before and put it in the vase.
She stepped back a few paces, looked at the vase, and nodded in satisfaction.
This was the first gift Chu Fang had given her, and she wanted to cherish it.
After finishing my business, I checked the time and it was only a little before seven o'clock. I left home and went downstairs to the breakfast shop to buy some breakfast.
After returning home, Zhong Tingyue raised an eyebrow: "You're awake."
"Ah." Her childhood friend Yang Meina squinted, fiddling with her messy hair as she walked out of the room and answered her question.
"Go wash up in the bathroom, then come and eat."
"oh."
After her childhood friend finished washing up, Zhong Tingyue had already placed breakfast on the table. The two sat facing each other and ate breakfast.
"Drink less in the future," Zhong Tingyue said.
"good."
“... ..."
Based on Zhong Tingyue's understanding of her childhood friend, this reply was merely a modal particle, simply a response.
The two chatted casually.
Suddenly, Yang Meina opened her sleepy eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and craned her neck: "Oh right, I remember now, He Yi told me last night that you have someone you like? Is it true?"
"Um."
The two have been friends since childhood, and Zhong Tingyue did not hide anything from the other party, answering openly.
"Oh my god!!!" Yang Meina's voice rose eight octaves, filled with disbelief, "Really???"
“I have no reason to lie to you,” Zhong Tingyue said calmly.
"Slap... ...Hiss..." Yang Meina didn't believe what she heard. Thinking she was still asleep, she stretched out her hand and slapped herself hard. Zhong Tingyue's mouth twitched, and the crisp sound echoed in the room. The pain on her face woke Yang Meina up. She came to her senses: "You really have someone you like?"
"Um."
She then recounted to Yang Meina her experience of meeting and getting to know Chu Fang, and also expressed her inner feelings and thoughts, speaking without reservation.
After hearing the news, Yang Meina's pupils remained wide open, still unable to shake off the shock of the bombshell.
In Yang Meina's memory, her childhood friend Zhong Tingyue was always a fairy-like figure who was not troubled or worried about worldly affairs, nor was she burdened by people or things in the mortal world.
Yet this fairy actually developed a longing for the mortal world and fell in love with a common man.
"Isn't Chu Fang very handsome?" Yang Meina looked towards room 2003 next door, her gaze seemingly penetrating the wall to see Chu Fang next door.
“Hmm… …very handsome,” Zhong Tingyue replied.
"You like him?"
"right."
"He likes you?"
"have no idea."
Yang Meina withdrew her gaze, her brows furrowing slightly: "Scumbag?"
“No.” Zhong Tingyue shook her head. “Based on my understanding of Chu Fang, he should be a guy who has never been in a relationship. He just graduated from university, is lazy and simple-minded, which doesn’t fit the image of a scumbag.”
"Tch!" Yang Meina said with disdain. "How many guys have you met? You can tell at a glance whether he's a jerk or not? Come on! You're just a love-struck woman now, how would you know what a jerk looks like?"
She paused, touched her chin, as if thinking, "No, I need to get to know him better, see what kind of man he is, and test him."
"No need, I..."
Zhong Tingyue wanted to retort, but was interrupted by her childhood friend: "If you don't let me test your unmet crush, I'll tell your parents about this, and then... hehehehe."
"..." At this moment, Zhong Tingyue regretted telling Yang Meina about Chu Fang. She was filled with endless regret. If her parents found out, the consequences would be unimaginable. She pursed her lips and asked, "How do you plan to test me?"
Yang Meina raised her long, slender, and snow-white legs, sliding them down in a seductive pose: "Beauty Scheme."
“... ..."
