Why do humans like to communicate? Because communication is the key to the future.
Why do humans like to communicate? Because of the sparks that fly from a conversation.
However, regardless of whether it was a conversation or communication, it required interaction between the two parties. If one of the two remained silent, it was clear that … the course of history would not be able to move forward. Yup, yup. I know we're being a little hypocritical here. To put it bluntly, Gongzi You's silence in the face of White Fairytale's incessant provocation was a disappointment. Or rather, it was a very immoral thing to do. At the very least, it was a very immoral thing to do in the eyes of the male players in the tavern.
That was what most of the male players in the tavern thought. One of them slammed the table and yelled at the hooded figure, "Hey, you! That's right! I'm talking about you! How can you ignore a beauty like her? How can you let a beauty like her talk to herself without replying to a single word? How can you ignore a beauty like her to such an extent?
However, these words could only be silently imagined in their hearts. No one would say it out loud, let alone do such superfluous things. It was obviously not a good habit to meddle in other people's business. Moreover, judging from the situation of the two people at the scene, especially the person in the cloak who looked leisurely and harmless but constantly emitted a powerful aura, it was definitely not a wise choice to meddle in other people's business.
White Fairytale remained silent. She glared at Ye Ci furiously. If her gaze could turn into lasers, Ye Ci would have turned into a honeycomb by now. After staring at Gongzi You for a long while, White Fairytale took in a deep breath and grabbed Ye Ci's hand in an attempt to attract her attention.
Her actions had indeed attracted Ye Ci's attention. After all, Ye Ci was not a dead person. She raised her head slightly and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her whose eyes were almost burning with fire.
White Fairytale knew that she had finally attracted Ye Ci's attention, "Gongzi You, leave Fleeting Time. Do you still have the right to stay by his side in this situation?"
Ye Ci tilted her head to the side. She was unable to understand White Fairytale's thoughts, "What right do you have to say that? Classmate? A secret admirer? Or his next girlfriend? "
White Fairytale opened her mouth, but no words came out of it. The three identities were very complicated. It was true that they were classmates, but she had no say in it. She did not want to admit that she had a crush on Fleeting Time, and she did not dare to dream of being his girlfriend. More importantly, she did not dare to say anything about the future. She was afraid that she would be despised by the vicious woman in front of her. Anyone could disdain her feelings, but she didn't want to be looked down upon by this woman.
And that was why White Fairytale was stunned. Ye Ci took this opportunity to free herself from White Fairytale's grasp, and spoke calmly, "Since you don't have the right to say anything, then what do we do have to do with you?"
White Fairytale's eyes widened, and her face flushed red. She bit her lips, but was unable to utter a single word. Ye Ci clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and her nails dug into her palms. She felt humiliated. She had been in love with Ye Ci for so many years, and she was already numb to the feeling of humiliation. But when faced with Ye Ci, her senses were awakened, and she could not accept a single word that came out of her mouth.
She lowered her head to look at the cup on the table, and splashed it onto Ye Ci's face without hesitation. But a sharp pain in her wrist caused her to drop the cup, and she heard Ye Ci's cold voice, "It's not good to be wasteful."
Ye Ci's left hand was gripped tightly onto White Fairytale's wrist, and she felt as if her wrist was about to break. The cup in her hand was now in Ye Ci's hand, and she looked up at White Fairytale with a cold smile on her face. She then let go of White Fairytale's hand, and took a sip from the cup as she looked towards the entrance. White Fairytale subconsciously followed Ye Ci's gaze to the entrance, and saw Fleeting Time leaning against the wooden door frame of the tavern with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His silver hair glowed with a gentle light as he stared at the two of them.
White Fairytale was stunned, and immediately withdrew her hand. She bit her lips and was about to run towards Fleeting Time, but he was already walking towards her. She stopped in her tracks and called out softly, "Fleeting Time …"
Fleeting Time took a quick glance at White Fairytale, and his gaze finally landed on the woman who had remained motionless since his arrival. She raised her head, and diverted her attention from her book to Fleeting Time. Fleeting Time walked towards her with a smile.
Fleeting Time walked past White Fairytale as if she was a stranger. Fleeting Time did not even spare her a glance. Her heart was filled with bitterness, and she felt as if she was being stabbed by needles. She reached out to grab his arm, and she succeeded in doing so. However, Fleeting Time managed to break free from her grasp, and the scene that followed caused White Fairytale's face to turn pale. Fleeting Time raised his other hand and patted the spot where Ye Ci had just touched. It was a subconscious action, but it felt like a sharp blade piercing into Ye Ci's heart. Ye Ci could not even breathe properly.
"Why is she here?" Fleeting Time did not look at White Fairytale, but he still asked the question in Ye Ci's mind.
Ye Ci shrugged as she closed the book and kept it in her inventory, "How would I know?"
Fleeting Time ignored the question and pulled out a chair and sat opposite Ye Ci. At this moment, White Fairytale could no longer tolerate the suffocating atmosphere. She turned around and left the scene. The moment she turned around to leave, she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes. They rolled down like pearls from a broken necklace. No matter how cold and distant Fleeting Time was to her, she had never cried. But today, she could no longer hold it in. She felt as if she was being dissected by Fleeting Time, while another woman stood by the side and looked on coldly. No matter how much she loved Fleeting Time, White Fairytale could no longer endure the woman's cold and malicious gaze.
A commotion broke out in the tavern.
Fleeting Time did not wear a cloak when he walked into the tavern. His handsome face was known by the players, and his name was called out by the beautiful Cleric.
The Wild Cat Tavern was always crowded with players, and they were all players with high levels. How could these people not recognize the famous Fleeting Time? Since the person in the tavern was Fleeting Time, that meant that the cloaked player was Gongzi You. If that's the case, then who is this beautiful woman? What does she have to do with Fleeting Time and Gongzi You? Judging from the situation just now, they seem to be very close …
With rumors about Gongzi You spreading like wildfire, the appearance of Fleeting Time and an unknown beauty was … a hot follow-up to the gossip! The players in the tavern began gossiping among themselves. Even those who did not seem to be paying attention to Ye Ci and Fleeting Time began to steal glances at Ye Ci and Fleeting Time.
What's going to happen? I'm so excited! I'm so eager! What could be more exciting than the naked gossip happening right under their noses?
"Your classmate has left." Ye Ci pursed her lips and said calmly.
Fleeting Time smiled at Ye Ci, and his smile widened when he heard her words. He stared at Ye Ci in silence, causing her to feel uncomfortable all over. She coughed lightly, "What's the matter?"
"Why? As the husband of an abandoned cousin, can't I look for you for no reason? " Fleeting Time's smile was beautiful. He stared at Ye Ci's awkward expression, and his eyes were filled with pride.
Ye Ci was at a loss for words as she stared at Fleeting Time's smiling face. She cleared her throat subconsciously and said, "Actually …"
Fleeting Time placed a finger on her lips before she could finish her sentence, "I know. You don't have to explain yourself." Fleeting Time's eyes were as gentle as water. He looked at Ye Ci's raised eyebrows, and answered her question, "Because I don't believe you if you explain yourself. But I do. I'll always believe in you. So don't explain yourself. I won't accept it. "
Ye Ci stared at Fleeting Time in silence. She felt as if something in her heart had cracked open, and warmth gushed out from the crack, warming her entire being. The corners of her mouth curled up, then curled up even higher, finally revealing a bright and dazzling smile.
Fleeting Time smiled as well, but he raised an eyebrow after a moment, "But …" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
