Aunt Su was as warm as ever, inviting Bai Ye to have a cup of tea.
Bai Ye politely declined, said goodbye to Aunt Su, and left.
The luxury of the villa was irrelevant to him; no matter what, the wretched boy who used to roll around in the rural fields in his youth had never changed.
The hustle and bustle of the city seemed out of place for him. His parents sent him to study in the city when he was a child, hoping he would become a dragon among men.
Unfortunately, his limited perspective made him feel inferior, and he could never join in the conversations with his classmates.
He was like an outsider, detached from the group.
He can never enter the world of the rich.
...
Su Yao walked into her daughter's room and looked helplessly at her daughter sleeping soundly on the bed.
The look in your eyes when you love someone cannot be hidden.
In Bai Ye's eyes, Su Yao could no longer see the colors of the past.
Su Yao gently covered her with the blanket she had kicked off and whispered, "I hope you won't regret it!"
She was quite satisfied with Bai Ye, but her feelings were unrequited. She wouldn't force her daughter if she didn't like her, and could only feel sorry for her.
At the same time, I also felt sorry for the child's transformation.
People always have to experience or lose something in order to grow.
She also hopes that Bai Ye can move on and find a more suitable partner.
...
Under the dim sky and flickering streetlights, Bai Ye stood silently on the lawn, gazing at the dark river in front of him.
I stared blankly at my watch; it was almost ten o'clock.
If we don't go back soon, they won't let us in through the school gate.
Bai Ye slightly perked up and walked along the path in front of him.
The flashing lights at the corner piqued Bai Ye's curiosity, and he quickened his pace.
But then they saw a beautiful woman dressed as Keqing.
Bai Ye was slightly taken aback.
"Kokoro-chan?"
The woman in front of me looked exactly like the woman I followed on Douyin who was cosplaying.
Her hair is a grayish-purple double ponytail with cute cat ears.
The dress is a black strapless dress with blue feathers at the hem, giving it a very sophisticated look.
Black high heels paired with black stockings, plus a light blue-purple shawl, create a mysterious and alluring look.
It looks exactly like Keqing's skin "Rainbow Skirts," the cosplay is simply lifelike.
"Bai Ye?" The woman was also somewhat surprised, and a little flustered.
She hadn't expected there to be anyone here at this hour, especially not during the day.
Bai Ye got a clear look at the woman. She was holding a telescopic pole with a cell phone on it, and there were flashing streetlights behind her.
It was clearly a pose for taking a picture.
Bai Ye never expected to meet her in this way, or rather, subconsciously he had already regarded Xin Jiang as an untouchable online goddess.
But at this moment, he was somewhat puzzled.
Because he never mentioned his real name to Kokoro.
After all, the internet is a mix of truth and falsehood, so protecting your personal privacy is essential.
But Kokoro called out his name accurately.
Bai Ye's mind began to race with thoughts.
My gaze fell on her phone and the jewelry on her wrist.
The design on her phone case and the jewelry on her wrist looked vaguely familiar.
Aren't these Ye Qingcheng's phone and jewelry?
When freshmen had meetings before, the teaching assistants sat together, but no one was really listening; they were all playing on their phones.
Bai Ye gave up his seat for Ye Qingcheng and saw Ye Qingcheng playing with her phone from behind.
"Ye Qingcheng?"
The woman's face was filled with panic: "You...you've mistaken me for someone else!"
Bai Ye: ...Then why are you in such a panic?
Bai Ye was deeply shocked, never expecting that Ye, the school beauty, was actually an online friend he had known for many years.
Moreover, the women on campus who acted like aloof goddesses were actually doing cosplay in private.
This made Bai Ye look at her with a slightly strange expression.
Ye Qingcheng's panicked expression returned to normal, and she glared fiercely at Bai Ye: "What are you doing wandering around so late?"
If she didn't wander around, how would anyone recognize her?
"Uh, there's no sign saying 'No Entry' here, is there?" Bai Ye rubbed his nose, unsure of what to say.
Ye Qingcheng put away the support frame, clenched her small fist, and came to Bai Ye, gritting her teeth: "Don't tell anyone, or you're dead."
Bai Ye couldn't help but chuckle at Ye Qingcheng's threatening expression while wearing a mask.
He naturally understood that the other party didn't want him to spread the news that the aloof school beauty was actually the internet goddess Xinjiang.
Bai Ye suddenly had a mischievous thought: "Are you going to beg me?"
Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath and stomped down without hesitation.
Bai Ye only belatedly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Stop! You're wearing... high heels!"
"Ah!" Bai Ye plopped down on the ground, clutching his injured foot.
He was filled with regret, regretting that he had done something so reckless.
Ye Qingcheng pulled off her mask, raised her chin, and looked at Bai Ye with the disdain one might have for a scumbag.
This made Bai Ye's heart itch with desire.
Ye Qingcheng looked at Bai Ye's screams and clutching-foot expression with a hint of schadenfreude: "Are you going to talk or not?"
Looking at the beauty in front of him, who seemed to be saying, "If your answer is not satisfactory, I will let you taste what you just experienced again," he secretly swallowed.
Bai Ye decisively followed his heart: "I won't say it, I'd rather die than tell!"
Ye Qingcheng reached out with satisfaction to help Bai Ye up from the ground.
But she seemed to have overestimated her strength and underestimated Bai Ye's weight.
Upon touching Bai Ye's hand, instead of being helped up, she lost her balance and fell forward.
Bai Ye lay on the ground in a daze, enveloped in a fragrance and feeling the weight on his chest, leaving his mind blank.
Ye Qingcheng hadn't expected this turn of events, and her mind was still a bit blank; she didn't get up for a moment.
After staying in Bai Ye's arms for a while, Ye Qingcheng finally came to her senses and hurriedly reached out to prop herself up.
Her face was flushed, and she dared not look at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye clutched his chest, looking sorrowful.
Bai Ye had been hit by Ye Qingcheng's elbow that evening, and just now she was bumped on the head by Ye Qingcheng's little head. Bai Ye suddenly felt really miserable.
He finally managed to stand up, and looked at the woman who had turned her back and put her mask back on, his expression complicated.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment, and Bai Ye didn't know what to say.
"Um... let's go back first, or the school won't let us in anytime soon." Bai Ye indicated that they were running out of time.
Ye Qingcheng turned her head and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "It's too late for you. I live outside, so I don't have to worry about things like room checks."
Bai Ye's face stiffened.
Forgot that this is a woman who became a small-time rich woman through her own efforts.
To make filming videos more convenient, Ye Qingcheng rented a place to live on her own.
Ye Qingcheng kindly reminded him, "You have five minutes left!"
Bai Ye's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to run back, Ye Qingcheng grabbed his sleeve.
"Thank you for saving me that day." Ye Qingcheng lowered her head, not daring to look at Bai Ye, but still managed to say the words of thanks that she had hesitated for so long.
A face-to-face thank you is always more genuine than a thank you online.
Bai Ye was taken aback, but then said nonchalantly, "No need to thank me, we're friends."
"I'm leaving now."
Bai Ye waved goodbye to her.
Ye Qingcheng watched Bai Ye's departing figure, feeling somewhat uneasy.
She was somewhat concerned about Bai Ye's attitude towards her, especially after learning that Xin Jiang was her.
But he was relieved when he saw Bai Ye again and found that she looked exactly the same as when they first met online.
