Hearing Ying Lili's words, Fangzheng also glanced to the side, then quickly turned the car around and parked it on the side of the road. Before the car came to a complete stop, Ying Lili leaped out of the car and ran forward, shouting at the same time.
"Stop right now!!"
Fangzheng looked in the direction of the sound and found that in a small alley not far away, a girl was being surrounded by two blonde gangsters. This was a common scene. So, what did Ying Lili want to do …? Fangzheng could figure it out even with his toes.
Now that she had an AR armor, she had been looking for a chance to practice! This was a hero saving the damsel in distress … No, the damsel in distress saving the hero … No, the damsel in distress saving the damsel in distress, how could Ying Lili let go of this opportunity?
"Hey? Miss, you're quite cute. "
Seeing Ying Lili's appearance, one of the gangsters' eyes lit up.
"What do you think? Why don't you go to the karaoke bar with us? Our treat? There's two of us, and there's two of you. Isn't that perfect? "
"Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!"
However, Ying Lili glared at him fiercely and kept provoking him. At the same time, she rubbed her palms together, waiting for the gangster to come over and court death. But at that moment, Fangzheng had already walked over. He pressed Ying Lili down with one hand and glanced coldly at the two gangsters.
"Get out!"
"— — — — —"
Feeling Fangzheng's murderous gaze, the two gangsters suddenly turned pale. They did not even say a word. They just turned around and ran away, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
"Hah …."
Ying Lili was speechless as she watched the gangsters run away. Fangzheng knocked her on the head.
"Be clear, I gave you that thing for self-protection, not for you to make a scene in public. If you do this again, I'll take it back!"
"Fine …."
Seeing that her thoughts were seen through by Fangzheng, Ying Lili stuck out her tongue. She then looked at the person being harassed by the gangsters and waved at her with a smile.
"Yo, Megumi, how are you? Are you alright? "
"I'm fine …"
The person standing there was none other than the person Fangzheng had previously met in the ward. She was Katou Megumi, Yuri's good friend. She was still dressed in her beret, short hair, and short skirt. She looked very refreshing. When Kato Megumi saw Fangzheng and Ying Lili, she had a complicated expression on her face.
"Sorry … Ying Lili …"
"It's nothing, it's just a piece of cake … Hm? You don't look quite right. "
"…"
However, this time, Kato Megumi didn't answer Ying Lili's question. She only lowered her head in embarrassment. Ying Lili blinked when she saw Kato Megumi's reaction before looking at Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, I'm going to have a chat with my friend. You can go ahead with your work."
"Okay."
Fangzheng was not a fool. He knew that Ying Lili was going to have a girl's talk with Kato Megumi. Of course, he would not stay here and be an eyesore. So, Fangzheng nodded. Of course, he did not forget to knock Ying Lili's head again.
"Let's have a chat, but don't think about making a big scene again."
"Don't worry, I won't …."
Ying Lili, who was knocked on the head by Fangzheng, stuck out her tongue and showed a playful smile. Kato Megumi, who saw the interaction between the two, showed a complicated expression and remained silent for a while. After Fangzheng knocked on Ying Lili's head, he smiled at Kato Megumi and turned to leave.
Kato Megumi stood there silently until Ying Lili pulled her hand away.
"Let's go to the coffee shop over there and have a chat."
Ying Lili was not a fool. In fact, when she saw Kato Megumi just now, she already knew that her friend had something on her mind. But in the past, Ying Lili would not have cared about such trivial matters. To put it bluntly, they were still "enemies" back then, but things were different now. Ying Lili and Kato Megumi no longer had a common goal, so they were no longer competitors.
Kato Megumi did not say anything. She followed Ying Lili to a nearby coffee shop and ordered a drink each. Ying Lili sat opposite Kato Megumi and looked at her with a smile.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've been alone, Megumi."
"Yeah … Ying Lili."
Kato Megumi's expression was very indifferent, not much different from when Ying Lili first met her. But as an artist who was good at capturing people's expressions, Ying Lili naturally noticed the hidden melancholy on Kato Megumi's face.
"What's wrong? Did something happen between you and Ren Ya? "
"No, but Ying Lili …."
"Hmm?"
"… Did something happen between you and An Yijun?"
"What do you mean?"
Ying Lili was a little surprised by Kato Megumi's sudden question. Kato Megumi hesitated for a moment before answering.
"It's like this …. Ever since she came back from visiting you in the hospital that day, An Yijun has been very depressed. She's always alone and doesn't talk to anyone. She doesn't even participate in the university club activities …."
"Is that so …."
Hearing Kato Megumi's words, Ying Lili shrugged and took a sip of her drink. Seeing Ying Lili's reaction, Kato Megumi widened her eyes in surprise, revealing an astonished expression.
"That's … it?"
"Hmm? What else do you think I'll do? "
Hearing Kato Megumi's question, Ying Lili rolled her eyes and slammed the table.
"Ren Ya must be throwing a tantrum again! I'll drag him out and ask him about it …. "
However, the agitated Ying Lili suddenly calmed down. She revealed her canine teeth and giggled at Kato Megumi.
"Do you think I'll react like that?"
"Yeah …."
Kato Megumi nodded. This was the Ying Lili she was familiar with. The Ying Lili from before was a little … unfamiliar to Kato Megumi.
"If it was in the past, I might have indeed done so, but now …"
Ying Lili leaned back in her chair and curled her lips.
"I have a boyfriend now. Besides, isn't that your duty?"
"…."
This time, Kato Megumi did not answer immediately. She looked at Ying Lili quietly for a long time before letting out a sigh.
"You've changed, Ying Lili."
"Of course I've changed. After all, it's been two years. Speaking of which …. I'm more surprised that you guys haven't changed at all."
Ying Lili stared at Kato Megumi and said in a low voice. Hearing Yuri's words, Kato Megumi froze for a moment and then lowered her head.
"… You guys are already in university. Megumi, haven't you confessed to Ren Ya yet? How long are you going to wait? "
"I …."
"You know what? When I was trapped in that game of death, I really, really regretted not confessing to Lun Ye in time. Life is unpredictable. Who knows when something will happen? It's really hard to say what will happen. You didn't expect me to find a boyfriend in the game, did you? "
"…."
Kato Megumi nodded. To be honest, she was still not used to the fact that Ying Lili had found a boyfriend.
"… Why, Ying Lili, you …."
"Because I've given up."
This time, before Kato Megumi could finish her sentence, Ying Lili cut her off.
"I want to find someone who likes me and I like him, not a relationship that's destined to be fruitless. Megumi, do you think Ren likes me too? I'm not talking about childhood sweethearts, nor is it the kind of liking between friends. "
"…."
Kato Megumi opened her mouth, but no words came out. Seeing Kato Megumi's reaction, Ying Lili smiled self-deprecatingly.
"See, it's clear, isn't it? I admit that Ren treats me very well, but so what? No matter what, he won't accept my feelings. Even if I take off all my clothes and climb into his bed, he probably won't want me. If that's the case, why should I work so hard for a relationship that can't possibly have any results? I've already quit this game of love, so naturally, I won't rejoin it. "
Having said that, Ying Lili stared at Kato Megumi.
"What about you? Megumi? How much longer are you going to stay like this? Does Ren really like you? Or is he just unwilling to let you leave him? I heard that you both got into the same university, but you only got in because you chased after Ren Ya. Does Ren Ya know about this? "
"…."
Looking at the silent Kato Megumi, Ying Lili sighed. Based on her understanding of Kato Megumi, she obviously wouldn't say such things out on purpose.
But …
"Love is like war. Mr. Fangzheng once said that a bootlicker will end up with nothing. I think this sentence really suits me. I like Ren Ya, so for his strange ideas, I gave up so much, but what's the result? The result is still the same, nothing. "
Having said that, Ying Lili spread her hands.
"Now that I think about it, I really feel that I'm funny. I know that there won't be any results, but I still desperately want something that I can't get. But fortunately, I'm awake now. What about you? Megumi? You've already gone to university, how long do you think you can maintain this relationship? "
While saying that, Ying Lili stared at Kato Megumi with a serious expression.
"Life doesn't have that much time for you to waste. If you like Ren Ya, then go confess and ask him for a definite answer. We are also human beings, we have our own lives, our own feelings, and our own thoughts. We are not stars that revolve around Ren Ya. You understand what I'm saying, right? "
This time, Kato Megumi didn't answer immediately. She just stared blankly at the drink in front of her, and after a long time, she sighed.
"… Yes."
