The moonlight made Yu Shiyue look like a goddess.
But the goddess's eyes were filled with tears, and the heartbreak in her eyes made Chu Yuying, who was also a woman, feel a little sorry for her.
She vaguely remembered that after Xia Che left and before they had dinner, Yu Shiyue was in good spirits.
I watched a movie by myself for a while, and then I went to draw.
In order not to disturb Sister Xiaoyue, Chu Yuying went back to her room to play games.
"So... Sister Xiaoyue cried because of this phone call? I'm so concerned..."
Chu Yuying was so anxious she was pacing around in circles, but Yu Shiyue obviously hadn't finished her call yet. Even if Chu Yuying wanted to ask, she had to wait until the other party finished.
After spending this time together, Chu Yuying and Yu Shiyue had become very good friends. She genuinely treated Yu Shiyue as an older sister. Now, seeing Yu Shiyue in tears, Chu Yuying panicked.
I need to think of a way to make Sister Xiaoyue happy...
Chu Yuying bit her finger, her lovely eyebrows furrowed. After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned around and went back to her room.
She actually had an idea.
She's experienced at making beautiful women happy.
...
"well……"
Yu Shiyue hung up the phone, her voice trembling, and sighed deeply.
She held her phone in her hand, turned her head to look at the city bathed in moonlight, and suddenly felt so tired, both physically and mentally exhausted.
The phone call lasted a long time. Perhaps because she had been standing for so long, Yu Shiyue could barely stand. The most direct manifestation of her mental exhaustion was the unbearable fatigue in her body.
She squatted down, put her phone on the ground, hugged her knees, and looked at the city below with her eyes that flickered between light and shadow, lost in thought.
"I thought I had escaped my shackles, that I was free and unrestrained, but was this wonderful life just a trial period...?"
A deep longing welled up in Yu Shiyue's eyes.
This period was the best time she had experienced since escaping from her home.
There was no pressure from any side, no binding or restraint imposed in the name of love, and no backstabbing.
She was surrounded only by the care of her friends and the happiness that came from the bottom of her heart.
If possible...
Yu Shiyue genuinely didn't want to leave the comfortable environment she had finally found.
But in this world, who can make choices at will?
"well……"
Yu Shiyue sighed softly, stretched lazily in the evening breeze, her slender waist resembling the melancholy willow branches of Lin Daiyu.
She wiped her eyes, then rubbed her face to suppress her worries. She shook her head, picked up her phone, opened the original camera, and used it as a mirror to make sure there were no traces of grievance left on her face before she felt relieved.
She didn't want others to see that she had been wronged; besides her self-respect, she didn't want those who cared about her to worry.
The devastating news brought by this phone call was beyond the help of her roommates.
Therefore, Yu Shiyue didn't want to tell anyone.
Her lips curved upwards several times, but she always felt that her smile was too deliberate. She tilted her head and tried different angles until her face ached from smiling, but she still couldn't find that natural smile when she was happy.
"Never mind... let's leave it at that."
Yu Shiyue dejectedly chose to give up. She tried for a long time but couldn't find her original feeling. It makes sense, how can a person find the smile when they are sad?
She felt pretty stupid.
The last person to do this was made into the idiom "marking the boat to find the sword," which has been a source of amusement for centuries.
Fortunately, no one saw it; Yu Shiyue didn't want to become the second idiom.
Peeking cautiously into the living room, Yu Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one there. She then hurried towards the bedroom, not wanting to bring any negative emotions to her good friend. It seemed that Chu Yuying hadn't noticed what had just happened.
That's good.
Yu Shiyue had already made up her mind. As soon as she got back to her room, she would lock the door. No matter who knocked on her door, she would pretend to be asleep and say that she would talk about everything tomorrow. When the next day came, she would say that she went to bed early and did not hear anything.
Then……
Let me announce my departure to them then.
Yu Shiyue's eyes darkened. All good things must come to an end. Yu Shiyue had already made plans from the very first day she moved in.
She just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
It's so fast that people can't even react in time.
"Um?"
Yu Shiyue suddenly noticed that the lucky cat figurine placed at the entrance of her bedroom had an additional cat beside it.
She bought this ornament online not long ago.
At that time, Yu Shiyue's wallet was gradually drying up, and she urgently needed to make a fortune to make up for her expenses on clothes and art supplies, otherwise she would not even be able to pay the rent.
so……
Running out of money, Yu Shiyue cleverly chose to buy another lucky cat figurine online.
He hoped to attract good fortune to himself through this.
As a result, my wallet, which was on the verge of drying up, became completely empty.
Yu Shiyue is a person of high quality. She never buys things that are cheap. She pays attention to both appearance and quality.
That'll empty my wallet right away...
After buying it, Yu Shiyue was quite satisfied with the lucky cat. It was cartoonish and about the height of her thigh. She placed it at the entrance as a stone lion to ward off evil spirits.
It's a pity she didn't have much money; otherwise, she could have bought a pair and placed them on either side of the door, which would have brought good fortune and made her look very impressive.
As for Chu Yuying, who lives across from her, she trips over the lucky cat every morning when she wakes up, yelling in anger, and Xia Che, who gets up in the middle of the night and is startled by the lucky cat with glowing eyes...
It was automatically ignored by Yu Shiyue.
But she has always regretted not being able to buy one more because she didn't have enough money to make a pair.
But today, that idea has come true.
There really was another cat next to that lucky cat!
"What's going on...?"
The sudden sight caused Yu Shiyue's still-grieving mind to instantly shut down. She was absolutely certain that she only had one lucky cat and had never bought another one.
That……
Where did this lucky cat come from?
Yu Shiyue held her breath and carefully moved to the side, making sure she could run away at any moment. Then, she mustered her courage and looked over. She found that although the cat was about the same size as the one she had bought, its body was furry, unlike the smooth texture of the ornament.
Furry?
Could it be...?
Is it alive?
"Snoring..."
Just then, a soft snore reached Yu Shiyue's ears, instantly confirming her guess. She felt as if her scalp was being pricked by needles, as if an invisible electric current was emanating from it, making her scalp tingle.
"Holy crap!"
Yu Shiyue angrily swore.
