"Little Ci, can you not say that? I really treat you as a friend. I've always treated you that way. Really. " Dong Yin took in a deep breath, forcing back the tears in her eyes. She then turned around and looked up at Ye Ci.
Ye Ci snorted coldly, and repeated Dong Yin's words with an expressionless face, "You really treat me as a friend?"
"Yes, really. We're the best of friends, aren't we? We've been best since we were young. We were born together, grew up together, went to school together, ate from the same pot of rice, slept in the same bed, and read the same children's books. What else could be stronger than our friendship? " Dong Yin's voice was not loud, but it was very calm. It had the effect of calming one's emotions.
Ye Ci was surprised by Dong Yin's voice. She had underestimated this girl. She had always thought that Dong Yin was someone who would not even dare to breathe loudly in the face of pressure. She had always thought that Dong Yin was someone who would do nothing but cry in the face of pressure. But from the looks of it, Ye Ci was wrong. Not only did Dong Yin know how to take advantage of the weaknesses of others, she was also able to use the classics to her advantage. Compared to the little girl she used to be, Dong Yin had changed a lot.
Dong Yin stared at Ye Ci. She could see the unfathomable light in Dong Yin's dark eyes, and she felt an indescribable sense of fear. Ye Ci had always been a person with a deep mind. To put it nicely, she was smart, but to put it bluntly, she was too shrewd. Dong Yin had always thought that she was no match for her when it came to playing with the mind of others. Just like now. What was she thinking? What did that faint smile on her lips mean? Dong Yin wanted to know, but she did not dare to do so.
She was afraid that if she knew Ye Ci's thoughts, she would not be able to turn the situation around.
In the bright spring weather, for some reason, there was always a little damp and cold. Dong Yin's skin felt cold, and her body began to tremble slightly. Furthermore, her legs were already numb from squatting on the ground for so long, causing her entire body to tremble uncontrollably. The frequency of her trembling increased, and it became more and more obvious. Finally, it attracted Yi Cang's attention. As he was unable to break free from Bai Mo's control, he could only raise his voice and shout angrily at Ye Ci, "Ye Ci! Look at how much Dong Yin is trembling! Don't you know that she's been in poor health since she was young? You actually let her squat for so long. How could you be so cruel! She's just begging you … "
Ye Ci suddenly felt that Yi Cang was an annoying person. She had never hated a man as much as she hated Yi Cang. She raised her head impatiently and interrupted him, "Is she my daughter? Was she a child? Or was she an idiot? She was the one who was willing to squat here. Did I force her? Since she couldn't squat anymore, why did she have to squat? Was she trying to show how innocent she is, and how vicious I am? "
"Stop arguing, stop arguing! This is my fault! " Dong Yin saw that Ye Ci was being so merciless to Yi Cang, and her words were mocking her as if she was nothing. She felt even more miserable. She quickly stood up, but because she had squatted for too long, her brain was flooded with blood. Everything in front of her eyes darkened, and she felt as if the world was spinning. She quickly closed her eyes subconsciously, and reached out to hold on to the dining table beside her.
However, before she closed her eyes, she still subconsciously looked at Ye Ci. However, all she saw was a cold and distant face. There was no warmth, and there was no intimacy that belonged to a friend. There was only the unfamiliarity of a passerby. Dong Yin couldn't help but recall that there was once when she had squatted for too long, and her brain was flooded with blood when she stood up. At that time, the first person to reach out to support her was not Liu Chang or Yi Cang, who were standing beside her, but Ye Ci, who was standing some distance away. Back then, Ye Ci had looked at her with such concern. But now? The person sitting in front of her didn't even need to stand up. She only needed to reach out to support her. Even so, she didn't even move an inch.
Why?!
Was this Ye Ci really the Ye Ci she knew? Was this really the Ye Ci who would protect her even if she didn't speak? Other than having the same face, what else did they have in common?
For some unknown reason, Dong Yin's heart was slowly filled with an indescribable hatred. She had not done anything serious. She had even defended Ye Ci in front of He Xiao. Why was Ye Ci not even the slightest bit of concern? She was only treated with such a cold and unfamiliarity. This was too disappointing!
After taking in a deep breath, Dong Yin opened her eyes and sat down on a chair beside Ye Ci. She turned to look at Ye Ci, and a hint of resentment could be heard in her voice, "Little Ci, can you not be so sensitive? I've not done anything to offend you, and I'm not trying to set a trap for you to jump into. I just want to ask for your help."
"If that's the case, then I'll give you a straight answer. I refuse to help." Ye Ci was merciless as she rejected Dong Yin's request.
"You …" Dong Yin had a lot to say, but she did not expect to be rejected by Ye Ci in such a straightforward manner. She could not find the words to vent her anger. Yi Cang could no longer control himself. He pushed Bai Mo away and stood up. He walked up to Dong Yin and grabbed her arm. He glared at Ye Ci, "Dong Yin, let's go! Don't beg her! We grew up together, don't you know what kind of person she is? She's selfish and only cares about herself. She's just a little bit better at playing games. She's just a side dish that can't be finished! Let's go! "
Then, without waiting for Dong Yin's consent, he dragged her away.
Ye Ci stared coldly at the two of them. Liu Chang could no longer sit still. She slammed her chopsticks onto the table and shouted, "Yi Cang, stop right there!"
"What? Is there anything else? " Yi Cang turned around and looked at Liu Chang with disdain, "I don't want to lower myself to your level, Liu Chang, because we've been friends for so many years. But don't be so shameless. Since you want to be Ye Ci's lackey, you don't have to put up a front in front of me. To put it bluntly, I don't like your poor appearance! "
"Yi Cang, you …" Liu Chang was so angry that her body trembled. She reached out to grab Yi Cang, but someone was faster than her! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
