Chapter 60 Let’s go now!
Ye Zhibai really liked a classic old song. It went something like this:
“Unforgettable~~ Tonight, unforgettable tonight~~”
In the past, she didn’t understand which night was worth remembering. But this morning, Ye Zhibai deeply understood the meaning. It was really unforgettable!
So unforgettable that Ye Zhibai had to take a hot shower early in the morning!
—Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s because of the intense exercise last night. Sweating and taking a shower, isn’t that normal?
After returning to her room, Guang Yu had already woken up from the impact of a famous book called “Aluminum Copper.” She transformed into her fox girl form without a moment’s pause, smiling all over, eagerly chirping non-stop around Ye Zhibai, who had just changed into a new nightgown.
“Ye Zhibai, Ye Zhibai! Why are you collecting the bed sheets so early in the morning?”
“Did you stick yesterday? How did it go? We fainted and didn’t know! Tell quickly!”
“Where’s your sister? Why haven’t I seen her?”
The sparrows outside the window chattered on the electric pole, giving a very summery feeling. Do you know what happened to those sparrows later? If they kept chattering and didn’t fly away, they would definitely be electrocuted by the pole!!
Ye Zhibai folded the bed sheets, which were already unusable from last night, and placed them on the floor. Then she went to the wardrobe to find new clean sheets to make the bed. In the process, she answered Guang Yu’s questions.
“Yun’er said she went to make breakfast. She said she’s in an exceptionally good mood today and can make twelve dishes.”
“Really?! That’s great! Uh… but why twelve dishes?”
“She said twelve dishes can just form a heart on the dining table.”
“Grass.”
Grass refers to a type of plant. Guang Yu just meant there would definitely be some vegetable dishes on the table, and she could also express her inner shock. Human culture is really extensive and profound, much more sophisticated than the Heavenly Realm.
Guang Yu had no intention of letting Ye Zhibai off so easily. She flopped onto the bed, forcefully entering Ye Zhibai’s line of sight. “You’re not ignoring us; we’re still going to ask!”
“So what happened last night! Did you stick or not!”
“Do you really have to ask…”
“Yes, I really have to ask!”
Confident, huh! Ye Zhibai’s expression remained calm. Her cold eyes showed no emotion. But that didn’t stop her from reading this sentence with full embarrassment and unwillingness!
“Well… I don’t even know when I fell asleep. Like you, I fainted too…”
“You got hit by a book too?!”
“No.” Ye Zhibai recalled the fragmented memories from last night, unwilling to say another word. Guang Yu, on the other hand, was surprised to find that as Ye Zhibai thought more, her usually expressionless little face had a faint, barely noticeable blush!
Ye Zhibai wasn’t completely incapable of showing expression; it was just that the emotions weren’t there. And now, the slight blush on her face was enough to show how embarrassed she was at the moment!
“Oh! You’re blushing!”
“No…! Can we not talk about this?”
“Wuwu, don’t stop talking! Please… whether we can return to the Heavenly Realm depends on whether you can stick, we can’t share information, and without this trust and honesty, what kind of good comrades are we!”
When did I become good comrades with you?! Unable to resist Guang Yu’s persistence, Ye Zhibai finally revealed a little detail. “Well… I was quite confused at the time, didn’t know what to do. Yun’er kept touching me, and I don’t know how long she messed around.”
“Messed around? How?”
“Oh, don’t be afraid, I’m not human. You don’t need to worry about talking to me!”
Guang Yu, I really have to thank you every day. You berate yourself so I can talk without pressure. I’m truly touched. To be less abstract, Ye Zhibai gave Guang Yu an abstract example.
“Just like a lotus leaf in a pond in summer, with a drop of dew on it. You gently squeeze the lotus leaf with your hand, and in a short time, nothing much happens, the dew just rolls around the leaf.”
“Hmm? I don’t quite understand, what are you trying to say?”
“I mean, I experienced a qualitative change due to the accumulation of quantity.” Ye Zhibai said concisely, “If you squeeze the lotus leaf long enough, that drop of dew will eventually roll off the leaf into the pond, and the leaf will be overwhelmed.”
Then—it will create endless ripples in the pond, warming the entire summer. And also warmed the poor bed sheets.
Whether Guang Yu understood or not, Ye Zhibai’s little face could only express so much. But unexpectedly, this sly fox was exceptionally smart! She thought for a moment, then clapped her left fist into her right palm, her fox ears standing up!
“Oh! Got it, what you mean is, as a girl, you experienced the feeling of ‘overlooking all small mountains’ for the first time, couldn’t handle it, and fainted! Why all the unnecessary modesty?”
Overlooking all small mountains…? “!”
A cultured fox indeed! Guang Yu waved her little hand, hugging her fox tail, glanced at Ye Zhibai with the corner of her eye.
“So? Were you just that passive and fainted? Didn’t you fight back at all?”
“Basically no… cough, how not.” This sentence was a bit guilty. After all, Ye Zhibai, in her two lifetimes combined, experienced this for the first time. Passive, that’s not passive, that’s modest learning, okay!
And Ye Zhibai wasn’t someone who lies for the sake of face. Last night, she did turn around and counter Yun’er! After all, even a rabbit bites when it’s cornered! Although not sure if she did well, the state of the bed sheets now was partly Yun’er’s fault!
It’s normal to lack experience the first time. If there’s a next time, it will get better gradually.
But who knew, Guang Yu directly kicked off her little slippers, stood on the bed, and began her supreme taunt mode!
“Useless! How can that count as sticking! Don’t underestimate sticking, idiot! It’s not something you can do with just a finger movement! I said, if you stuck, why didn’t I feel like I could return to the Heavenly Realm? I don’t know which part went wrong. Turns out it’s you being useless! You…”
“Guang Yu, I suddenly don’t want to buy drinks this afternoon.”
“No problem! This time is fine, just try harder next time!”
Life’s essential subject—“Face.”
Huh…?
But, didn’t Guang Yu know nothing about this stuff last time, how does she know so many points now? This question, Ye Zhibai just asked, and Guang Yu giggled.
Like performing a trick, she took out a “textbook” from somewhere. Ye Zhibai’s eyes widened slowly in shock.
The book she held—
Wasn’t that the one I told her to tear up in the apartment yesterday?!
—[Citrus Story: The Passion of Love].
Damn it, playing tricks on me!
She didn’t tear it, and even brought it home?!
Didn’t complete the task, yet enjoyed two drinks from me for free!
Guang Yu patted the cover of the book, her loli face beaming with joy.
“It would be a shame to tear this up. I flipped through it yesterday, and it really is a treasure trove! Ye Zhibai, do you know? According to the book’s illustrations, sticking is a task requiring mutual effort from both sides. Just focusing on your own overwhelming experience won’t work!”
“You hurry up… give me that book.”
“Hey! No! I haven’t finished the second half! Ah, robbery!!”
I’m taking my own book and you call it robbery?!
Guang Yu, using her small size, bounced around the room, and Ye Zhibai couldn’t catch her.
Why are you so tricky!
Just as Ye Zhibai was panting, taking a break before deciding to have a showdown with Guang Yu.
There were slightly urgent footsteps outside the ajar room door.
Yun’er was back.
A person and a fox stopped fighting.
Guang Yu took the opportunity to hide the book again.
Hmph, keep it quiet and prosper! The knowledge in the book is priceless!
Ye Zhiyun quickened her pace to the room.
Seeing her current outfit, Ye Zhibai almost choked on her saliva!
Yun’er was still holding a cooking spatula, and her apron had a big heart in the middle. The key point was, the heart had a character printed on the upper right corner.
—“Bai.”
Can’t our aprons be a little normal?!
Even if she wanted to complain internally, Ye Zhibai had to remain calm on the surface.
“Yun’er, what’s up?”
“I love you.”
“!”
“I told you to tone down your daily confessions!”
Ye Zhiyun shook her head, unable to hold back her feelings.
But the next second, Zhiyun’s expression turned serious.
“Sister, there’s an unexpected situation. Yesterday, I asked someone to investigate how the person you dreamed about was buried after death.”
“Yes… what happened, has he been cremated?”
“Not yet. The investigation results just came back. It seems someone voluntarily covered the cremation costs and arranged the funeral.”
What?
After I died, someone was willing to pay for my funeral?!
A wave of inexplicable emotion swept over her.
At the same time, a reliable figure from her childhood memories flashed through Ye Zhibai’s mind.
Ye Zhibai felt a lump in her throat. Putting everything else aside, she only wanted to know one thing now.
“When is the cremation scheduled?”
“Sister, that’s what I came to tell you. The maid team just reported back that the cremation seems to be scheduled for 10 AM today. The body has already been taken to the crematorium and will be cremated in two hours.”
“…”
So it’s going to be burned soon!
Nothing else to say.
Ye Zhibai slapped her thigh and suddenly stood up.
With a flick of her silver hair and a wave of her small hand, her cool gaze was filled with determination.
“Zhiyun, let’s eat breakfast when we get back. Will you come with me now?”
“Mm! Of course, wherever sister goes, Zhiyun will follow~”
Wuu, thank you Zhiyun.
Going to the crematorium with this unlucky person so early in the morning.
But… let’s go.
Let’s depart now, to bid a final farewell to myself from my past life!
I really died so miserably, wuu wuu wuu!!!
