Chapter 68. Good Afternoon
Ye Zhibai returned to the villa estate by car, and upon seeing the big soft bed in her room, was filled with drowsiness.
She didn’t even have the thought of eating lunch.
Sorrow is my nourishment, and if so, I’ve already eaten my fill this morning!
Having come back from the crematorium, Ye Zhibai had to take another shower, the second time in just half a day.
In two lifetimes, she had never showered so frequently!
She bought another cup of Mixue ice cream for Guang Yu, to stop her from complaining about being squeezed into a fox pancake in the car earlier, resolving any worries for a peaceful afternoon nap.
Of course, as per Guang Yu’s request, when buying Mixue ice cream, she added a note “add wasabi”, the kind of thing that would definitely make the shop staff think they were crazy, best not to mention it.
All preparations complete, she flopped directly onto the bed, starting her exquisite sleep!!
The body touching the soft mattress, just one word.
— Comfortable!
Cool Sister’s matter… there are still many doubts, we’ll talk about it later. Ye Zhibai really believes in the saying “the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge”.
Because if the boat can’t naturally straighten at the bridge, then it can only crash, there’s no other way. After all, being carefree means giving up.
Guang Yu finished her drink, also transformed into a cat form, curled up at the head of the bed. The gentle sunlight slanting onto her fluffy fur added to Ye Zhibai’s hazy drowsiness.
Ye Zhibai’s left hand rested on Guang Yu’s back, feeling the warmth of the afternoon sunlight.
Drowsiness came surging up in an instant, uncontrollable.
Saying goodbye to oneself this morning… was indeed too mentally exhausting.
Never knew that crying was such a tiring thing.
But drowsiness is just such a thing, once it comes, it’s hard to take back.
Ah… bad… should I go tell Zhiyun not to arrange lunch, if I don’t say it, she’ll worry
The thought was good, but the body was quite honest.
Not long after, Ye Zhibai’s squinting eyes closed completely, her evenly proportioned chest rising and falling rhythmically, her breathing becoming soft, harmonious, and comfortable.
She fell asleep.
Ye Zhiyun didn’t know, seeing that her sister hadn’t come downstairs for a long time, she walked to Ye Zhibai’s room in confusion.
The door was ajar, no need to knock.
“Sister, it’s time to eat… hm?”
Seeing this beautiful and peaceful scene in the room, Ye Zhiyun immediately chose to be silent.
Shh
Can’t disturb sister’s rest
Walking to the bedside, sunlight dappling, sister lying face up on the bed, beneath her nightgown, her snow-white legs still dangling on the floor, her cold little face bearing the unique tranquility of sleep.
It made Ye Zhiyun feel she was breathtakingly beautiful
Ye Zhibai’s chest rising and falling, rhythmically breathing out gentle breaths, completely defenseless, entirely in a state for Zhiyun to pick.
Ye Zhiyun swallowed hard.
She put her palm on her own chest, taking a deep breath to gain some calmness.
Now is not the time to bother sister
Ye Zhiyun moved gently, first grasping Ye Zhibai’s delicate ankle, helping her remove her slippers, then passing her arms under her knee hollows, as steadily as possible, not to wake her treasure in her arms.
Of course… this didn’t prevent Ye Zhiyun from taking the opportunity to gently pinch Ye Zhibai’s thigh with her thumb and fingers
Protecting Ye Zhibai’s head, letting her whole body lie flat on the bed, Ye Zhiyun thoughtfully covered her with a small blanket.
Completing all this, bending down to look at sister’s sleeping face in the quiet sunlight, Ye Zhiyun’s smile was as sweet as if she had eaten a candied fruit.
Suddenly, as her vision spread, she noticed a familiar sleeping cat at the head of the bed.
“…”
Picked it up by the scruff of the neck and threw it directly onto the chair beside.
Guang Yu: Have you no manners!!
Ye Zhiyun patiently helped Ye Zhibai remove a few cat hairs from her hair before getting up reassured.
When leaving the room, Ye Zhiyun even took off her own slippers and held them in her hand, walking on tiptoe barefoot, to make the least noise.
Coming outside the door, ignoring the cat inside waving its little paws in protest, all her gaze like water was focused on the sleeping Ye Zhibai.
In the process of gently closing the door, Ye Zhiyun softly blessed:
“Sister, good afternoon…”
A few years of joy, and how many families of sorrow.
Ye Zhibai returned home happily to sleep, having resolved a big matter, feeling relieved.
But a dozen miles away from the Ye family mansion, in a middle-class neighborhood in Qihai City.
The fallen young lady of the Lin family, Lin Zihan’s home, was not so
Well! Actually, Lin Zihan was quite happy today too!
Lin Zihan had just come out shopping from the supermarket at the entrance of the community, carrying a pound of specially discounted beef she had just bought, humming a tune, using her access card to open the gate at the entrance of the community, happily walking into the community, familiar with the route, walking towards Building No. 6 where her home was located.
Hmm, saw little Bai yesterday~ pretty good luck.
What a coincidence! Coming home from school, saw the beef at the supermarket at the entrance was on special sale!
It’s really good things coming together, forcibly making today a good day!
Usually, Lin Zihan couldn’t afford to buy beef to eat, it’s not easy for the family’s flower shop income to maintain daily expenses.
But it’s to celebrate little Bai’s discharge from the hospital! It’s good to stew some beef for lunch when I get home!
Hehe, when I’m in a good mood, how did I become so greedy
Lin Zihan traversed the fairly wide gravel path in the community, actively greeting the elderly people she met, who would respond with kind smiles and certainly praise her a couple of times.
“Zihan is getting more and more beautiful!”
“Hehehe thank you, Aunt Zhang! You’re the same, getting younger and younger!”
“Look at Zihan, so good with words! Coming home from school to cook?”
“Mm, bought some beef to stew, if I don’t hurry I’ll be late for afternoon classes.”
“Then hurry up, child, you’re really promising! Already cooking for yourself in high school.”
“It’s just basic life skills~ It’s expected!”
After exchanging a few words, Lin Zihan continued on her way without stopping, clearly a graceful and happy little sun, a joy-bringer.
The neighbors saying Lin Zihan is beautiful, that’s the honest truth.
If you say such things to others, it’s just being polite. But saying it to Lin Zihan, it’s the truth.
This child Lin Zihan, you can see she’s not from an ordinary family, outstanding temperament, elegant and generous, especially that head of dazzling golden hair, seeming to speak of her once extraordinary background.
Only that side-swept bangs hairstyle looks strangely introverted, if she could cut her hair it would look even more spirited.
Old people: Young people look better with shorter hair!
This is one manifestation of the generation gap
Now, Lin Zihan has been living in this community for several years.
She has fully integrated, becoming a member of the residents here.
Lin Zihan smiled all the way, until she returned to Unit 1 of Building No. 6.
Whether it was the stairs being too steep or potential energy at work, her light footsteps obviously slowed down when climbing the stairs.
Until standing in front of Room 201 — her home, Lin Zihan’s smile only slightly faded, but still didn’t disappear.
Oh… find the keys find the keys, need to hurry and stew the beef!
