Qin Yuhuan originally wanted to maintain her slow-paced personality and downplay the matter, but she didn't expect that Ziyi would just hum a rising single syllable from her nose, and she nervously began to pick at her clothes.
Qiao Yuning knocked on the door and came in, wanting to tell Qin Yuhuan that she was going to take a shower. Qin Yuhuan raised his cell phone at her. The childhood friend got the hint and closed the door before leaving.
"Not talking? Is Sister Xiao Qin offline?" Ziyi leaned back in her swivel chair, looking at emails with a comfortable expression, her tone still as nonchalant as Ziyi's.
Although he was not staying in one place, Qin Yuhuan felt that the air around him was filled with Ziyi's relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.
However, when that idleness was used to "bully" her...
Qin Yuhuan could make up a lot of lies. She could lie and was good at it, but when the words came to her lips, she hesitated.
"I'm not sure if it was the one I typed, Xiaozi." He didn't tell a lie, nor did he tell the truth. "I hinted at it to you, but you didn't seem to get it." But the blame seemed to be on the verge of being successfully passed on.
Ziyi chuckled, "Is it the time when I went to your house to buy a scarf? The style you picked was very consistent with my aesthetic and the style of clothing at that time."
The light beige color is a versatile color that can be worn with anything and will not look out of place at all.
"The scarf you bought from my house is also this color. I think you picked it yourself." Qin Yuhuan sat cross-legged on the bed. The hem of her skirt was full of wrinkles from being crumpled by her. She smoothed the hem of her skirt, and the wrinkles seemed to fade a little.
There weren't many options for expressing love in high school, and she only had so much money to spend. From a bunch of options, Qin Yuhuan chose a scarf.
She spent two days looking through knitting pattern books in the bookstore, and finally drew her own sketches. However, because the pattern was a bit complicated and she was slow to learn, her mother disliked her for not having talent in knitting. In the end, she held her breath and knitted four balls of yarn before she finished the product.
Thinking about the past, Qin Yuhuan seemed less nervous and even began to counterattack. "Besides, you always thought it was a gift from Shu Baizhu, and I suddenly came out and said, Ziyi, that was a gift from me. Isn't it weird?"
It seemed as if she was vaguely blaming Shu Baizhu for stealing her credit or deliberately targeting the wrong person.
In fact, Qin Yuhuan was quite glad that Ziyi misunderstood. Otherwise, given Ziyi's past personality of ignoring everyone, her gift would definitely be returned.
From the beginning to the end, it was all my fault for mistaking someone else: ...
With a few words from Xiao Qin, the priorities were reversed, and it was Ziyi's turn to start making excuses. "I just happened to run into Shu Baizhu on my way to school that day. Isn't she on the second floor? I'm on the third, so I misjudged her. Besides, she always comes to school early for the morning reading."
As for Ziyi, she played wildly before the exam, but she studied very hard during normal times. She was one of the first people to enter the classroom every day. It was such a coincidence, so it was no wonder that she misunderstood.
As for why she never asked later, one reason was that Shu Baizhu became increasingly cold, and Ziyi couldn't remember to ask her about the scarf. The other reason was that she didn't dare. Shu Baizhu never mentioned it, and Ziyi thought she wanted to give this gift anonymously. If she really asked about it, it would be a problem whether she could still keep the scarf.
Qin Yuhuan's tone was somewhat helpless, "I told you, Xiaozi, you have always been the one who turned a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window."
It was obvious that she was the one who passed by Ziyi first that day, but when Ziyi looked up, she only saw Shu Baizhu five meters away.
Ziyi was completely speechless.
She is a person who can sometimes immerse herself in her own world.
"Why aren't you talking anymore, Xiaozi?" Qin Yuhuan began to return the teasing Ziyi had said five minutes ago to her one by one, to prevent her from being disrespectful and calling her "sister" endlessly.
"I'm thinking about what I can do to mend the broken heart that Sister Xiao Qin had."
Ziyi knew that Qin Yuhuan had a good personality. As long as she asked, Qin Yuhuan would definitely forgive her for ignoring her in the past. But... why should Qin Yuhuan forgive her?
I'm already a very well-behaved person. You can't really not get any candy just because I don't cry.
Although she did nothing wrong from Ziyi's perspective, many years later, after Ziyi and Qin Yuhuan became friends, she was willing to sincerely make amends for her neglect of Qin Yuhuan.
"No need to mend it, Xiaozi. There's no leak. If you can accept it, I'll be satisfied."
Not only was she content, but every time she saw Ziyi strolling around the campus with the scarf she had knitted, happily arm in arm with Shen Zhiming, and childishly showing off her super beautiful new scarf, Qin Yuhuan had already received enough rewards.
But Ziyi refused to give up. She thought for a long time, and finally began to frantically order Rabbit Year commemorative coins on the shopping app, trying to fill up Qin Yuhuan's rabbit jar.
Ziyi didn't move for a long time. The only sound coming from the phone was like fingers tapping on the screen. Qin Yuhuan was silent for a moment, "Are you busy, Xiaozi?"
"Yes, Sister Xiao Qin doesn't want my compensation, but I can't let the sensible Xiao Qin suffer alone." Ziyi had no intention of muddling through the matter. "With me, both sensible and foolish Xiao Qin sisters will be rewarded."
Sometimes she called her sister, sometimes she called her younger sister. Ziyi seemed to be unable to change her ways. Qin Yuhuan laughed happily on the other end of the phone and continued with Ziyi's chaotic address: "Sister Xiaozi always likes to reward me. She's not even sensible."
"Of course, sister, people don't need to be sensible all the time. Qin Yuhuan, who is used to being sensible, must be very cute when she becomes naive."
Ziyi shopped at all the stores where she could place an order, and only then was she satisfied and stopped. Because she was in such a good mood, even the wording in her replies to emails was much gentler.
There seemed to be a few flashes of purple lightning across the sky.
"Xiaozi, there's lightning outside. Did you see it?" Qin Yuhuan got out of bed, put on his slippers, and moved to the window. He looked at the dark night sky. The lightning seemed to be hidden behind the sky, which made people tremble with fear. "Are you scared?"
Upon hearing this, Ziyi opened the curtains and said, "There's a thunderstorm warning recently. Even though it's summer, Jincheng still loves thunderstorms."
In previous summers, thunderstorms were a daily occurrence. In addition, there were typhoons one after another in August and September.
Qin Yuhuan nodded, and neither of them continued the topic. However, there seemed to be some movement on Ziyi's side. Qin Yuhuan guessed that Ziyi was secretly working hard during "break time" to prepare to take over the Jincheng business district one day.
Half an hour later, she heard Ziyi calling her softly, "Qin Yuhuan."
Qin Yuhuan hummed again, "Xiaozi, what's wrong?"
Ziyi was silent for a long while, and then she spoke softly: "Do you want to come downstairs to see me? If you don't want to..."
"I want."
Qin Yuhuan's cold and steady voice floated into Ziyi's ears, making them feel hot.
She said, "I want it, Ziyi."
