It had been a while since school started, and the weather was getting warmer. Ye Ci put away the heavy winter clothes and took them home. She changed into spring and summer clothes on the way back. Although she had been reborn, she still felt that her mind had been left in that hazy night. Therefore, she was still more resistant to wearing girl's bright colors and opposed to those heavy and dark colors.
This made Zuo Xiaolan very dissatisfied. She expressed her disdain for Ye Ci's choice of clothes several times, "You are only nineteen years old, and you are wearing these black colors. They are ugly. You are not a black crow..."
Unable to explain, Ye Ci could only smile and brag, "This is called fashion."
Zuo Xiaolan rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm not 18 or 19 years old? Do you think I was born this old?"
When faced with such a situation, Ye Ci would usually keep her mouth shut. She would definitely not reply, because if she did, she would definitely end up in a worse state. When she returned to the rented apartment with a bag of clothes, Bai Mo was humming a song while cooking. He poked his head out of the kitchen and looked at the bag and coat in Ye Ci's hands. He curled his lips and said, "Do you really think that you're young and invincible, and that you're as beautiful as a flower? Are you going to dress up like you're forty? "
This was the second time in a day that Ye Ci was insulted by her attire. She rolled her eyes and snorted, "I'm just 16 years old. I'm young and invincible. What are you going to do about it? Are you jealous?"
Bai Mo obviously didn't want to argue with a little girl on this issue. He just pouted and snorted, "That's right, that's right, a sixteen year old girl. Youth is invincible. Well, while I was away, my phone rang many times in the house. I wonder if you want to go back and take a look? "
"I didn't bring my phone?" Ye Ci hurriedly searched her pockets and bag. As expected, there was no trace of her phone. It seemed that she did not bring her phone home this morning. As she spoke, she carried her clothes into her room. As soon as she entered the room, she saw that her phone had been thrown on the bed. She put down her things and picked up her phone. She saw that there were 27 missed calls, which almost drained her battery. And the person who did this was none other than Liu Chang.
Just as she was about to call him back, her phone rang again. Sure enough, it was Liu Chang calling again. She hurriedly answered the phone. Liu Chang's weak voice came from the other side. "Your great aunt is finally willing to answer my call? Don't tell me you don't want to see me anymore? You won't even answer my calls? "
"What are you talking about? I went home this morning to get some clothes for the season, so I didn't bring my phone. "
"Bai Mo went back with you?"
"No."
"Then why didn't he pick it up? I've been calling him since this morning. I'm so frustrated! " Liu Chang was furious. She immediately condemned Bai Mo's irresponsible behavior.
Ye Ci smiled and continued to chat with her. Soon, the two of them cut to the chase.
"Hey, Little Ci. Come out for dinner."
"Are you going dutch?"
"No, it's my treat." Liu Chang chuckled and explained, "I'm getting paid for my part-time job today. Give me some face."
At that moment, Ye Ci heard the sound of Bai Mo's cooking. She was in a difficult position, "Forget it. It's not easy for you to get paid. Keep it for yourself. Bai Mo has already started cooking. If I tell him to go out now, he'll kill me."
"Then why don't you bring Bai Mo along?" Liu Chang snorted, "Although I'm angry at his irresponsible behavior, I'm not a stingy person. Treat him to a meal! Let him know how big of a mistake he has made towards a virtuous lady. "
"Then I'll ask him." With Ye Ci's current financial ability, she could treat Liu Chang to a meal every day. However, she did not want to do so. She felt that true friendship was the most important thing. Money was not necessarily a good thing in the pure friendship between friends. Therefore, every time Liu Chang asked to treat her to a meal, she never refused. Although she usually treated Liu Chang to a meal, she always thought that the two of them were best friends and didn't need to think too much about other things.
After asking for Bai Mo's opinion, Ye Ci said to Liu Chang, who was waiting for news on the phone, "He agreed, but you have to give him some time to change. You know how vain he is."
"Okay then. See you at 6: 30." Liu Chang and Ye Ci agreed to meet at an ordinary place. It was not expensive and lively. They used to like to go there. Yes, they, the four of them.
After changing their clothes, the two of them walked from the rented house to the nearest bus stop. As they walked, Bai Mo asked, "Was it Liu Chang who called you all day?"
"Yes." Ye Ci narrowed her eyes. Her hands were in the pockets of her coat. Her face was expressionless. No one could tell what she was thinking.
"He called you twenty or thirty times a day just to invite you to a meal?" Bai Mo laughed a few times, indicating that he did not believe this at all.
Ye Ci looked up at Bai Mo. A strange smile appeared on her face. She did not answer him immediately. Bai Mo was creeped out by Ye Ci's smile. He rubbed his arms and shivered. "Can you not smile like that? It's creepy."
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Ye Ci turned around and spat out a few words.
Bai Mo was stunned. "Then why did you go?"
"I'm curious." Ye Ci sighed. She turned to look at Bai Mo and said, "Although I'm not very curious, it doesn't mean that I don't have curiosity."
Bai Mo thought for a while. Then he asked calmly, "Do you know who else is going?"
"Dong Yin, Yi Cang, or He Xiao." Ye Ci pursed her lips. Then she said, "If not, why do you think I invited you?"
Bai Mo sighed. He reached out and ruffled Ye Ci's hair. "I realized that you don't mean what you say."
"Huh?"
"Didn't you say that this is the end? But now that you're here, you can't let it go. "
"Who the f * ck knows?" It was obvious that Ye Ci was very anxious. She even cursed before she got into the car. Bai Mo, who was following behind her, could not help but smile. It was probably at this moment that Ye Ci, who was overly calm, looked like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. Although Bai Mo was helpless against those annoying interpersonal relationships, he felt that Ye Ci's current state was pretty good.
At least, there was no darkness in her eyes that he could not read.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Liu Chang was not the only one there. Dong Yin and Yi Cang were also there. However, He Xiao was not there. It made sense. Someone of He Xiao's status would not eat at a roadside stall like this.
Ye Ci stood by the table. She narrowed her eyes and looked at them. There was a strange smile on her face. Liu Chang quickly pulled her to sit down and tried to smooth things over. Dong Yin also tried to strike up a conversation with Ye Ci. Even Yi Cang ordered a bottle of iced cola and placed it in front of Ye Ci.
Ye Ci lowered her head and looked at the bottle of iced cola. She suddenly felt very distant. This drink seemed to be her favorite when she was seventeen or eighteen years old. Later on, she seemed to prefer drinking water, the kind that was cold to the bone. However, it was not wrong. In everyone's eyes, wasn't she eighteen or nineteen years old?
"Thank you." Ye Ci narrowed her eyes again and smiled at Yi Cang.
Yi Cang's smile stiffened a little awkwardly, but she pretended not to see it.
Bai Mo said that he was here to serve as a foil. As expected, he did not say a word throughout the entire meal. He just sat beside Ye Ci, as if he had disappeared. The dishes on the table were ordered by Liu Chang and the other two, but they were all Ye Ci's favorite dishes. Looking at the piping hot dishes on the table, Ye Ci suddenly felt a little desolate. Even if she was reborn, even if she tried her best to move in a different direction, the end result was still the same as before.
Ye Ci did not speak much. Dong Yin was a woman of few words, and Bai Mo was not familiar with her. In the end, only Liu Chang and Yi Cang were left talking about some unfunny things. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Ye Ci lowered her head and ate until she was seventy percent full. Then, she raised her head and looked straight at Dong Yin, who was sitting opposite her. She pursed her lips and said, "Speak. What's the matter?"
Her voice was not loud, but it was enough to shut Liu Chang and Yi Cang up immediately. They quietly looked at the two of them.
Dong Yin raised her head hurriedly and looked at Ye Ci. To be honest, the Ye Ci now felt very distant. Or perhaps, Ye Ci had always been there, but she was too far away. In short, the Ye Ci now made her feel very pressured.
"Nothing. I just … just came out to sit." Dong Yin subconsciously avoided the question.
"Is that so? Then I have something to do. I'll take my leave. "Ye Ci stood up and pretended to leave.
Seeing this, Dong Yin could not hold it in any longer. She quickly said, "No, no, no. I … I have something small to do."
Ye Ci's back was facing Dong Yin, but her lips curled into a cold smile. It was indescribably cold. She slowly turned her face and looked at Dong Yin with a faint smile. It was a smile that was empty and distant. She immediately sat down and raised an eyebrow. She had an unreadable expression on her face, "Alright, tell me. What kind of small matter is it?"
Seeing that Ye Ci had sat down, Dong Yin sat down as well. After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up her courage and said, "Little Ci, for the sake of our many years of friendship, please help me."
"Eh?"
"Help He Xiao get the First Blood of Castle Ruins. Let Blade of Steel get another First Blood!" Dong Yin's face was red as she poured out her request.
