One hand pulls through the truth and illusion, a few words awaken love and infatuation
Ke Yike was at a loss holding the cards.
"Give me a kiss, give me a kiss..." The crowd around had finally waited for the exciting plot, and they turned up the volume and started to cheer. The constant noise made Ke Yike unable to control himself.
He looked at the wooden Xue Jiuyue affectionately, and at the necklace on her neck that she had been wearing for the past few days, which contained all his love, and his heart was eager to move.
"A kiss on the cheek through the cards might even help Sister Yue with her treatment."
This excuse finally persuaded Ke Yike to approach. The distance was so close, the road so bumpy, he felt like he was carrying a heavy load, breathless. He unbuttoned his shirt, trying to catch his breath. But the tattoo beneath his red neck stood out, a striking pattern! The pattern was exactly the same as the necklace he had given Xue Jiuyue.
It turns out that Ke Yike not only customized a necklace for Xue Jiuyue, he also tattooed the same pattern on his own neck as a couple's style.
The affectionate patterns seemed like a string of affectionate confessions, echoing in Xue Jiuyue's heart, intoxicating her consciousness, blurring her eyes, and the waves of calls of "Kiss, kiss..." in her ears were like a spell, taking her to another time and space.
A series of images flashed before her eyes: an auditorium, a cake, a watch, a group of smiling faces, and finally a pair of bright eyes shining like two cold stars against the black background.
The black and white eyes kept getting closer amid the cries of "Kiss, kiss...", and gradually Ye Yi's handsome face flashed in the light and shadow. However, at this time, black mist was swirling around like a giant python, constantly devouring the light in front of his eyes and in his heart.
"No, don't..." Xue Jiuyue's low muttered fear was like an ant trying to shake a tree amid the surrounding noises. It was soon washed away into shyness, and she was unable to resist anything.
So Ye Yi approached firmly, constantly squeezing the space between them. Finally, the bottom line of distance was broken, and he instinctively waved his hand, "Pa..."
Xue Jiuyue ran out along the path of memory, leaving behind tears. The string of "I'm sorry" that followed her, first clear and then ended with Ke Yike's voice, finally pulled her back to reality from her trance. So her response also changed from the "It's okay" in her memory to "Go away, I don't want to see you..."
Zhou Ying followed closely behind, "Sister Yue, I'm sorry, it's okay, it's okay..." She said as she hugged Xue Jiuyue tightly, and the two of them cried loudly from the tight embrace...
All kinds of emotions were not soothed by the warmth of home, but fortunately there was a confidant online.
"Princess Yue, do you really not want to see your brother again? Or are you really that angry?" Without any comfort or consolation, "Spitting Star" asked such an incredible question after reading Xue Jiuyue's narration.
Xue Jiuyue pondered for a moment and replied, "I can't really explain my emotions at the time. Actually, when I first saw the pattern tattooed on his neck, I was very moved. But as he gradually approached, other images emerged in my mind. I had seen those images before, but this time the emotions were wrong. It was as if the emotions were grafted on. I was terrified and angry!"
"Then can I assume that my brother is actually taking the blame for someone else's mistakes and is just a scapegoat?"
"Not entirely. Even though I knew it was a game, I definitely didn't want him to kiss me, even if it was through cards and with the girl who loved him deeply right next to me. But by the time I woke up and understood the situation, it was already a done deal. I mean, I hit him instinctively, and he didn't seem to have touched me yet. I could only go along with it, hoping that he would back off, because it was impossible for us to be together. But when I hit him, maybe because I was concentrating, I didn't feel the same stinging pain as before."
"Congratulations, my lady! It looks like Miss Yue will soon be able to enjoy happiness after all her hardships. When that happens, she won't need me anymore!"
Another crazy judgment, with a touch of Liu Che's sadness, Xue Jiuyue decisively replied: "Speak human language, be more specific!"
"Those emotions of fear and anger are the root of Princess Yue's nightmares. Now that you've touched them, it means they're beginning to leak out like mist. I believe it won't be long before the beautiful Yue fully recovers and finds her true love."
"Yes, yes, there was a lot of black fog rolling in my picture at that time! But does this mean I will definitely find love?"
"Then there's no escaping it. I've tried my best, even sacrificing all my energy, to deduce this! Think about it, isn't this the culprit behind your lack of love? If you solve it, won't you be able to interact with people normally? Will you be able to freely fall in love without any burden? Wouldn't you be able to find love then?"
"What does that have to do with you? Why do we no longer need you? We are just netizens!" As for leaving, "Spitting Star" should just be a trick, but Xue Jiuyue still dug deep into the matter.
"Success, fame, and retirement!"
"Human words, otherwise..."
"How did we meet? Now that you're in a relationship and aren't lonely, do you still play cards?"
Xue Jiuyue didn't hide her reluctance to part with this close friend, "Why not? I'm not lonely now, don't I play cards? And even if I don't play cards, can't I still chat?"
"By then, you'll be busy flirting with me all day long, so how can you have time to care about me?"
"Okay, I promise I won't block you!"
"Yeah! That's the feeling, the feeling, the feeling. It feels so good..."
Seeing the spitting sound of "Spit Star" jumping out of the screen, Xue Jiuyue added, "I'm saying that I won't block you for this reason! If you keep talking nonsense, well, I'll still kick you out without any discussion."
"Well, my lady, it's such a nice day, why don't we go play cards?"
"lead the way!"
Joyful gaming sessions can make one forget all worries, but they can't resolve any unresolved issues. The scent of lavender mixed with Gynostemma pentaphyllum soothes all kinds of emotions. All sorts of emotions lie dormant under the night's cover, but as soon as we drift off to sleep, all sorts of thoughts surface, forcing us to pry open our eyes early.
When Xue Jiuyue arrived at Inch by Inch of Time, not only Zhou Ying but also Qiu Nian was there. They were neatly dressed in their work clothes. Only Ke Yike had his head drooped, like a withered, curled-up leaf, devoid of any life. Yet, even this appearance brought Xue Jiuyue immense comfort—there was still time.
Before Xue Jiuyue could express her opinion, Qiu Nian came over to apologize: "Sister, I'm sorry..."
Xue Jiuyue was stunned for a moment, then suppressed her emotions and asked calmly, "What does this have to do with you?"
"We were hoping that the game would allow you to fully recover, but we didn't expect it to go too far. I was next to Ke Ke at the time, and I should have stopped her. I, I even joined in the fun... Sister, it's my fault..." Qiu Nian took all the responsibility responsibly.
Lin Yiyi didn't want to leave him alone and stood up, "Sister Yue, it's my fault! I was the one who suggested this game!"
"Sister Yue, I'm sorry, please don't chase him away. We were all drunk at the time..." Zhou Ying came out and pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"Stop talking..." Ke Yike stepped out, still with his head down, but his voice was excited. "This is all my fault! I shouldn't have had any unreasonable expectations. I should have looked at myself in the mirror. This is just like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. I'm naive, I can't do anything except cooking. I'm good for nothing. I'm just a cook. I don't deserve Sister Yue's love. I'm leaving..."
“Pah…”
The always elegant Xue Jiuyue actually beat Ke Yike again within 24 hours!
Tears and doubts widened her narrow eyes as she looked at Xue Jiuyue.
"About yesterday, I want to say sorry! It was my fault, you all meant no harm! I wanted to apologize to you and see if we could let it go. But today, you really deserved a beating! What did you say? I told you from the beginning that we were not suitable, absolutely not possible! But it's just that we are not suitable! It's my fault, not that you are not good enough, not romantic enough, not outstanding enough, not because of money, status, etc.! The fact that we are not suitable is not a reason for you to give up on yourself, and it is not the beginning of your self-deprecation! Whether now or in the future, you are the best Ke Yike, the most handsome Keke and the only Keke, otherwise don't say you know me! Everyone is like an ingredient, only the right combination can complement each other and show the delicious taste. This is the principle you taught me! You should find your own suitability!"
Ke Yike understood that Xue Jiuyue was not angry with him because of last night. He was ecstatic but could only say in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Sister Yue, I understand!"
"Is it enough that you understand? I have to teach you a lesson by deducting one month's salary and bonus! The money will still be paid, but the debt will increase. If you don't pay back the money, where will you run to?" Xue Jiuyue looked like a landlady.
"Okay!"
Ke Yike's usual voice finally made Xue Jiuyue breathe a sigh of relief, and everything returned to normal.
But when Ke Yike turned back, were the tears that lingered in her narrow eyes a remnant of the past, or a new emotion? That fleeting string of diamonds could escape the freeze of time, but it could not escape Zhou Ying's careful attention.
"Ahem, Sister Yue won't chase you away. Why are you still so depressed?" Zhou Ying's sweet voice showed concern for Ke Yike who was decadent in the blind spot of Xue Jiuyue's sight.
"Everyone is like a kind of food. Sister Yue and I are tomatoes and prawns. We are absolutely incompatible." Ke Yike said weakly.
Zhou Ying wanted to try to comfort him, "Sister Yue used to say it was even more serious than this, but the situation hasn't gotten any worse."
"Don't try to persuade me, Ying'er. I've always known this would be the outcome. I just feel like if I give up, I'd be letting Sister Yue down, and I'd be letting Sister Yue down for loving me."
"Didn't I tell you before that there aren't many love at first sight? It all happens slowly."
"I've given my all to everything I can think of and do. There's no point taking it slow. Just like beef, it gets better and better with slow stewing. But if you cook seafood for too long, it becomes nothing but overcooked."
"Ahem, you..."
