After a while, Gao Meng came out of the room.
"Mengmeng, are you busy?" Qiao Qiu thought she had disturbed her because she had waited for a while before coming out.
"No, I just took a shower. When you called me, I was still looking for clothes." Gao Meng looked her over and smiled, "Judging from your appearance, are you hungry?"
"...You guessed so accurately." Qiao Qiu wondered if she had really been raised like a pig. Otherwise, how could she guess so accurately, like a tapeworm in her stomach?
"Let's go, grab the key and lock the door, we're going out for a late-night snack," Gao Meng said.
Qiao Qiu nodded. "Okay."
Gao Meng turned around and went inside, grabbing her phone, wallet, and keys.
After locking the door, the two said goodbye to the guesthouse owner and went out.
All the lights in the ancient city were lit up. The shops on both sides of the street had wooden doors painted red, and the billboards were also ancient-style plaques, giving it a classic and antique charm.
Qiao Qiu looked at the scene and felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Qiuqiu, what do you want to eat?" Gao Meng asked.
"I want to eat... steamed buns." Qiao Qiu looked around and saw a steamed bun stall ahead.
"You go ahead first, I'll get you a milk tea," Gao Meng said.
Hearing that she was so considerate of her, Qiao Qiu happily hugged her waist and kissed her on the cheek. "Mengmeng, you're so good to me." After saying that, Qiao Qiu walked briskly towards the steamed bun shop.
Gao Meng felt a flutter in her heart, a smile playing on her lips, and headed towards the milk tea shop.
"Gao Meng".
Gao Meng had just walked to the front of the milk tea shop when she heard someone calling her, but she ignored it. "Boss, two cups of pearl milk tea."
Zhou Nan quickly walked to her side and said anxiously, "Please listen to me, okay? I know I've let Qiuqiu down and I'm no longer worthy of her, but I still want to ease her resentment towards me. That way, she'll be happier, won't she? Aren't you her best friend? Please help her."
Gao Meng said expressionlessly, "The best way to resolve her resentment is to never appear in front of her again."
“I can’t do it. I still love her and can’t help wanting to be around her. I just want to see her, and if I see her doing well, I’ll be happy,” Zhou Nan said painfully. “So I want to resolve her resentment, so that even if she no longer loves me, she won’t treat me like an enemy anymore.”
Just then, Gao Meng turned to look at him, her dark eyes revealing a chill. "She doesn't hate you, nor does she love you. She just dislikes you. Don't flatter yourself. She just doesn't want to see you. Seeing you makes her feel disgusted. To her now, you're just a stranger with a completely different aura."
"Gao Meng, even you hate me. It seems Qiu Qiu really hates me." Zhou Nan lowered her head and walked back dejectedly.
"Your bubble tea." The shopkeeper handed the bubble tea to Gao Meng.
Gao Meng paid the bill and strode towards Qiao Qiu. Right now, her biggest worry was Qiu Qiu. Zhou Nan spoke sweetly and acted well, but there wasn't a trace of affection for Qiu Qiu in his eyes.
Judging from this situation, Zhou Nan completely deceived Qiu Qiu's feelings; he didn't like Qiu Qiu that much at all.
No, if he doesn't like Qiuqiu, why is he pursuing her? Is it because he's after Qiuqiu's family background?
Gao Meng's hatred for Zhou Nan intensified; he had gone too far.
Qiao Qiu was leaning against the wall next to the steamed bun shop, eating a steamed bun while waiting for Gao Meng. She saw Zhou Nan's dejected figure leaving Gao Meng's side and felt disdain.
Gao Meng walked over and handed the milk tea to Qiao Qiu.
Qiao Qiu took the milk tea and gave the other bag of steamed buns to Gao Meng.
Gao Meng didn't refuse. There wasn't much in that bag. Qiao Qiu knew that she didn't eat much at night, so she deliberately left it like that.
"Let's go, the scenery at night is also nice, there's a kind of beauty in the combination of quiet and noise, yet they're separate." Qiao Qiu tilted her head and thought for a moment, feeling that this description was quite good.
Gao Meng chuckled, "If this were during the day, I would definitely think you forgot to take your medicine today."
Qiao Qiu raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that right?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Gao Meng couldn't help but chuckle.
The two continued walking in the alley. After all, the ancient city is a famous city with a nationwide reputation. During holidays, there are quite a few people who come here to play.
Along the way, Qiao Qiu saw several familiar faces. However, she didn't recognize them much, so she didn't go to say hello.
"That's strange." The ring's voice suddenly appeared in Qiao Qiu's mind.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Qiu asked in her mind.
"Master, do you see? The diamond corresponding to this life has not lit up yet."
A glint flashed in Qiao Qiu's eyes as she looked at the diamond on her finger, corresponding to this life. It indeed hadn't lit up. She had always thought that since she had changed her fate as cannon fodder, the diamond would eventually light up; it was just a matter of time, so she hadn't paid much attention to it.
But since the ring brought this up specifically today, it's no ordinary matter; it's definitely not as simple as she had previously thought.
"Qiuqiu, what's wrong?" Gao Meng had been paying attention to Qiao Qiu and noticed that her expression suddenly changed, so she quickly asked.
Qiao Qiu looked at her, "Mengmeng, when you bought milk tea, I saw Zhou Nan. What did he say to you?"
Gao Meng knew she had seen it, but since Qiao Qiu hadn't asked her, Gao Meng didn't bring it up. After all, Gao Meng really didn't want Qiao Qiu and Zhou Nan to have any further involvement.
But since Qiao Qiu asked, Gao Meng still had to answer, "I was just asking if you were still angry, that's all."
Gao Meng only told half of the story; she didn't mention that Zhou Nan had asked her to help comfort him.
Qiao Qiu knew perfectly well that there was more to it than that. If Zhou Nan wanted to play the role of a Casanova, the most important thing for him now was to please her. How could he just offer a greeting and nothing else?
Qiao Qiu didn't believe Zhou Nan would give up such an important opportunity to impress Gao Meng so easily.
"Mengmeng, let's go back. We'll pack our bags tomorrow and go to the other side of the ancient city," Qiao Qiu suggested. They had already explored most of the area during the day. If Zhou Nan hadn't been here, she would have been willing to stay here for more than half a month before moving to the other side of the city.
“Okay.” Gao Meng had suggested it to Qiao Qiu that afternoon, but Qiao Qiu hadn’t agreed at the time.
For some reason, Qiao Qiu felt annoyed whenever she saw Zhou Nan, perhaps because he was her love rival. She wouldn't be so annoyed if he weren't the male lead, but who knows if his protagonist aura would suddenly appear? If Gao Meng suddenly fell in love with him, she would have nowhere to cry.
...
It was already 11:30 p.m. when Qiao Qiu returned to the guesthouse. She went into her room, closed the door, and sat on the bed.
She looked down at the ring, wondering to herself, "Little Ring, what exactly happened? Is it possible to find out?"
