The night passed quietly, and dawn broke on the horizon, ushering in a refreshing morning for Jiang City.
"yawn……"
With a piece of bread in her mouth, Yu Shiyue sat at the dining table in a daze, stirring the milk in her glass with a spoon. It was not hard to tell from her blank eyes that Yu Shiyue was not fully awake at the moment.
"I should have known better than to stay up all night drawing; I'm severely sleep-deprived. But thankfully, I finally finished, and I can finally take a break..."
Yu Shiyue yawned again, feeling the bright sunlight outside the window. She glanced at it and quickly withdrew, shrinking her neck uncomfortably.
It's almost the end of the month, and in order to earn more royalties next month, Yu Shiyue has been in seclusion for several days, spending all her time in her room working on her manuscripts and not even leaving the house.
Last night, I finally finished all the manuscripts. Although I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and now the sunlight is very bright, I love this bright morning and am in a great mood.
"Good morning, Sister Xiaoyue."
Yu Shiyue, who had her back to the door, heard the sound of a door closing behind her, followed by Chu Yuying's light and melodious voice. She turned around and smiled, "Good morning, Xiaoying... Holy crap?!"
As soon as Yu Shiyue turned her head, she saw Chu Yuying with two dark circles under her eyes, and her body seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy black aura. Her resentment was almost tangible.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Yuying's eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Yu Shiyue strangely. Why was she so startled so early in the morning?
"I wanted to ask you what's wrong... What's wrong? You look more resentful than a ghost, it scared me."
Yu Shiyue patted her chest; her previously drowsy mind instantly cleared up after the fright.
Chu Yuying's skin was already very fair, and her hair was also white. Now, with such a strong sense of resentment, Yu Shiyue really thought a ghost had crawled out at first glance.
"Me? I'm fine... Hehehe, I'm really fine."
Chu Yuying forced out a smile that seemed to hold even deeper resentment.
She didn't sleep all night.
While waiting for Xia Che's reply, Chu Yuying tossed and turned, unable to sleep, glancing at her phone every now and then, but their chat window remained empty.
During this time, Chu Yuying first turned her phone volume up to the maximum, afraid that she would fall asleep and miss Xia Che's message, but after waiting for a long time there was still no response. Then she got angry and started to put her phone on silent. But after thinking about it, why should she put it on silent just to wait for a message?
So he put the little blond guy into Do Not Disturb mode, fuming as he planned to go to sleep, and started fantasizing about waking up tomorrow to see a bunch of messages from Xia Che, and then lazily saying: "Didn't you ignore me first?"
But fantasy is just fantasy. Even after adding Xia Che to the Do Not Disturb group, the other party still did not reply.
Chu Yuying lay there for a while, feeling that Xia Che would send her a message. She wondered if it was wrong of her to keep ignoring him. She picked up her phone to check, but the chat box was still empty.
Chu Yuying tormented herself like this for a whole night.
Of course, Xia Che still didn't send the message he was hoping for.
"So what's going on now... Did the blond guy accept my confession, or did he silently reject me?"
"Is this an admission of guilt? Or... is it an attempt to make me give up?"
"Or did you simply not understand my explicit implication?"
These unanswered questions gave Chu Yuying a headache so bad she felt like she was going to lose her hair just thinking about them, and the more she thought about it, the heavier the resentment she felt inside her became.
No wonder Sister Xiaoyue was startled by herself. Chu Yuying felt that if she were a genuine psychic, the first thing she would do now would be to exorcise herself.
"...Is that so? Okay..."
Yu Shiyue pursed her lips, unable to bear looking at Chu Yuying's forced smile. She thought to herself that this girl must have encountered some bad things. Perhaps everyone has secrets they can't tell.
"I've prepared some bread and hot milk for you. Here, sit down and have some."
Yu Shiyue is very thoughtful; she always prepares breakfast for multiple people.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyue. You're out of seclusion today?"
Upon hearing that there was food, Chu Yuying's resentment subsided somewhat, and she regained some of her former liveliness, no longer looking like a wilted eggplant, and quickly sat down.
"Yes, after being busy for so long, I've finally submitted the manuscript."
Yu Shiyue was also in a good mood. After being busy for a while, she suddenly had some free time. She was happy, but also a little lost, not knowing what to do.
or……
Let's go buy some new clothes this afternoon?
It's been a long time since I wore women's clothes.
Congratulations!
Chu Yuying smiled and offered her congratulations, then her big eyes darted around as she casually asked, "Where's Little Yellow Hair? Is he still sleeping in?"
Maybe the reason you didn't reply last night was because you were asleep?
It's quite possible that they didn't see the envelope they left behind...
"Him? He left early this morning, acting all mysterious. He wouldn't say where he went, but Xia Che left me a message saying that he probably won't be back for the next few days, and that we shouldn't worry."
Yu Shiyue gestured towards Xia Che's room with her lip: "Look, even the door to his room is locked. It looks like he'll really be out for a while. I wonder what's going on."
"Want to go shopping together later? I heard it was your birthday yesterday. I was in seclusion and didn't have time to celebrate with you. Now is the perfect time?"
Yu Shiyue originally wanted to celebrate with Chu Yuying. With Xia Che gone, she could wear women's clothes. Moreover, given Chu Yuying's previous sharp tongue towards Xia Che, she should be very happy to hear this news.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yuying's expression became blank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"...Huh?"
Chu Yuying blinked, her ominous premonition deepening.
Could it be that I guessed right?
Xia Che doesn't actually like me at all, so he's using this excuse to avoid me and try to let things cool down.
Is the person you've chosen for life someone who doesn't actually like you back?
My heart sank to the bottom in an instant, like I had fallen down, and the pain was excruciating.
Gradually, a thin layer of mist welled up in Chu Yuying's eyes. She quickly stood up, her eyes hidden in shadow by her bangs. "I'm full. I'm suddenly a little sleepy and want to sleep. Shopping... I think I'll pass. Sorry."
She then covered her mouth and hurriedly went into her room, leaving a bewildered Yu Shiyue standing there, not understanding what had happened. "What happened? Everything was fine just now..."
...
Xia Che looked at the villa in front of him, then at the house number in his hand. After confirming that he hadn't gone to the wrong place, he was about to knock on the door when suddenly the tip of his nose started to itch.
Achoo!
Xia Che touched his nose and subconsciously looked around.
strangeness……
Is someone talking about me?
