"Let's go!" Wang Celou sighed softly, patted Mei Si's head, and led her home.
When Chu Baqi saw Mei Si holding Wang Ce Lou's hand, she was so angry that she almost tore the book up.
"I haven't even touched Ce Lou's hand!" Chu Baqi said through gritted teeth.
Wang Celou led Mei Si onto the bus, and Chu Baqi, without thinking, squeezed on as well.
On a sweltering day, the two of them were drenched in sweat when they finally got off the crowded bus.
"I want ice cream." Mei Si looked pitifully at the tricycle selling ice cream by the roadside, unable to move.
Wang Celou was about to refuse, but seeing Mei Sire's flushed face, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"You can only eat one."
"Okay!" Mei Sixi nodded happily. Seeing that Wang Celou was also sweating, she decided to buy one for him too.
Mei Si let go of Wang Ce Lou's hand and took out money to buy ice cream.
Wang Celou stared blankly at his empty hand, lost in thought.
Chubachi squeezed off the bus looking disheveled. Her long, black hair was now a mess, and her white dress was wrinkled with two black handprints on it.
Since transmigrating, Chu Baqi has never taken a bus. Her father drives her to and from school every day, which made her almost forget just how crowded buses are in China.
Chubaki lost her patience from being jostled around, so she decided to take the initiative to go up and greet the woman who had appeared next to the male lead.
"Ce Lou, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?" Chu Baqi looked at Wang Ce Lou with a surprised expression, pretending to have bumped into him by chance.
"Hmm." Wang Celou snapped out of his reverie and nodded as a greeting.
Chu Baqi felt a little awkward. Wang Celou didn't respond, and she didn't know what to say.
"Here you go, it's leaking." Mei Si slurped up the ice cream in her hand and handed the other ice cream to Wang Ce Lou.
"Side...side leak?!" Chu Baqi looked at Wang Celou in confusion, unwilling to believe that Wang Celou's name could be called like that.
"Eat it quickly, or it will melt." Mei Si glanced at Chu Baqi and urged Wang Celou to eat the ice cream quickly.
"Is there anything else?" Wang Celou opened the ice cream, took a bite, and asked.
"You...you're actually eating on the main road?!" Chu Baqi said, pointing at Wang Celou who was eating ice cream. Her voice trembled.
As mentioned in the book, Wang Ce Lou is very particular about dining etiquette and dislikes eating snacks. He would never do something like eating on the street.
A glint flashed in Wang Celou's eyes. What did Chu Baqi mean by this? Did she think the Wang Celou she knew wouldn't eat in the street?
"Take it easy and try to think positively!" Mei Si licked her ice cream, stepped forward, patted Chu Baqi, who was reacting very strangely, and comforted her.
"Condolences...?" Chu Baqi was a little confused and didn't understand why she should express condolences.
"Hmm! Don't hold back your tears. Sister Wu said that when a family member dies, it's okay to cry. You're acting crazy like this, it's not a good way to live!" Mei Si said worriedly, looking at Chu Baqi's messy hair.
"Sorry, you can just ignore what Sisi said. Um, we have something to do, so we'll be going now." Wang Celou said with a wry smile, pulling Mei Si away and quickly disappearing from Chu Baqi's sight before she could unleash her fury.
Wang Ce Lou and Mei Si had been missing for half a day before Chu Baqi realized what Mei Si had just said.
"Damn it! Are you sick? Someone in your family died! You're the one who's crazy!" Chu Baqi shouted angrily in the direction Mei Si had left.
Passersby instinctively avoided the woman who was acting erratically and cursing incessantly, fearing that they might be bitten if they provoked her.
Chu Bachi cursed for a while, and when she felt satisfied, she stopped. She hadn't felt this good in a long time. She had been pretending to be Chu Bachi for so long that she almost suffocated.
Chu Baqi tidied her messy hair, went to the convenience store to call her father, and asked him to come pick her up.
While waiting for the car, Chu Baqi suddenly remembered what Wang Celou had just said to her.
"Sisi? Could it be Meisi? No, impossible! Meisi is very pretty. That girl is chubby and has baby fat. She's definitely no more than 16 years old." Chu Baqi shook her head, denying her guess.
"Could she be a time-traveling woman? But I've been here for so long, why haven't I seen her before?"
As Chu Baqi lay in bed that night, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was off about Sisi. The male lead wasn't someone you could easily approach, but Sisi could hold his hand so casually.
Chu Baqi: This is definitely a formidable opponent! I'll go ask Grandma Yu tomorrow; she might know who Sisi is.
