Chapter 66. No Trust Left!
The moment she said it, Ye Zhibai was stunned for a second.
— Oh no!
Wouldn’t it have been better to make up a fake name on the spot?
The homophone, it somewhat kills the mood!
But the words had already been spoken, and unless you’re a radio, no, even a radio couldn’t take them back!
In her panic, though Ye Zhibai’s expression remained unchanged, her eyes, driven by nervousness, aimlessly glanced left and right.
And this small movement… was deeply imprinted in Chi Yuliang’s mind.
Hiss… why does it feel like Cool Sister’s gaze suddenly changed, we just talked for a few sentences!
All the comforting that could be done has been done.
Ye Zhibai now just wanted to escape!
Ye Zhibai coldly nodded, turned to leave, not wanting to linger any longer.
“That’s all then, take care, I’ll be going now.”
Anyway, Cool Sister! After the cremation and funeral are over, as long as you can become happy and cheerful again, that’s fine!
Behind her, Chi Yuliang also nodded blankly at Ye Zhibai.
“Mm… goodbye then.”
Hearing this, Ye Zhibai quickly hastened her steps to slip away!!
Slip… slip my foot.
Ye Zhibai awkwardly walked back, seeming to Chi Yuliang as if she had grabbed at air.
Guang Yu!! Why aren’t you watching the main group’s movements again!
Grabbing the arm of the dazed Guang Yu, Ye Zhibai finally left again.
Ye… Zhibai?
Watching that graceful and beautiful figure hastily walking further away, Chi Yuliang fell silent for a moment.
She didn’t know if this name was a coincidence, or if this girl was intentionally hinting at something.
Or… some possibility she dared not imagine.
She didn’t understand.
But Ye Zhibai had already turned around, so she certainly didn’t notice the change in Chi Yuliang’s actions, who was still not far behind.
During this period of confusion, Chi Yuliang’s motion of holding the urn changed from both hands to one hand supporting it along with her arm, making it more stable.
She freed her other hand and took out her phone.
Ye Zhibai finally walked back to Ye Zhiyun’s side.
Ye Zhiyun hurriedly came forward to welcome her!
“Sister, welcome back~ Hmm, can we go home now? What did you talk about with that person just now? Can you summarize it for me?”
Your three consecutive questions are just like three bowls of aged vinegar gulped down directly in the kitchen.
It’s only been a few minutes, what could I have said!
Not only did I not say anything, I almost got myself into trouble!
Well, not almost, Ye Zhibai “believed” that her comforting of Cool Sister just now was quite discreet, without any big problems.
Now, it’s time to go home.
Ye Zhibai was in the habit of recording the time before doing anything.
Like now, since they were about to go home, she instinctively wanted to check the current time.
Ye Zhibai took out her precious Pineapple 14 from her pocket.
And lit up the screen.
— She saw the time.
But Ye Zhibai was also stunned!
“Sister?”
“It’s nothing… wait a moment.”
Below the time display was the message box.
That pop-up message box was so eye-catching and conspicuous!
Ye Zhiyun saw Ye Zhibai holding her phone motionless, and worriedly asked again.
“What’s wrong? Is there something unfinished?”
“No.” (I’m finished.)
Ye Zhibai quickly turned off her phone, a drop of cold sweat on her forehead.
“Let’s… let’s go home first, Zhiyun.”
“Mm mm!”
Ye Zhiyun was just waiting for these words!
This crematorium, she really couldn’t stay a minute longer!
Held by Zhiyun’s hand, Ye Zhibai quickly grabbed Guang Yu’s hand behind her, the two people and one fox rapidly left towards the crematorium exit.
At this moment… Ye Zhibai was still alarmed by the message she had just received.
Chi Yuliang hadn’t walked too fast. She stood on a slightly higher steep slope, not minding the scorching sun overhead, even if a drop of sweat fell, she had to watch from afar as that strange girl left.
She looked down at the phone in her left hand, decorated with a sea-blue shell pendant.
This phone pendant… was given to me by Xiao Bai, you know?
Hehe… it was the first gift I received from Xiao Bai, it’s been many years, I’ve always kept it.
Who would have thought, the first gift received would also be the last, life is so unpredictable
And on the phone screen.
It was the message she had just sent to “Ye Zhibai’s” chat box.
The last one was from a few days ago.
And now the message box was finally updated.
— “111”
That’s right, just three simple 1s.
This was what Chi Yuliang had typed out and sent with the fastest hand speed just now.
Locking the screen, protecting the blue shell pendant.
Chi Yuliang put away her phone with light and gentle movements.
Her gentle black eyes, watching Ye Zhibai’s gradually receding figure, held many complex emotions flickering within.
After a long while.
Chi Yuliang hugged the urn with both hands again, turned around, and stepped in the opposite direction.
The hot summer wind couldn’t disperse many of life’s entanglements.
She looked down at the exquisite urn in her hands.
The gentleness in her tone warmed the breeze, dappling the light and shadow.
“Xiao Bai… sister is by your side, rest assured. Remember this time, okay? In the future, if you have any difficulties, don’t hide them in your heart anymore, tell sister about anything. Come… it’s time for us to go home…”
Of course, no one would respond to her.
Even the cicadas were so noisy and clamorous.
But this was enough.
Chi Yuliang didn’t stop, stepping towards the direction of the crematorium gate, leaving.
The back view of her plain white dress was still so sorrowful and desolate.
But… it seemed somewhat subtly different from when she came.
This was unknowable.
Some people are calm, some are almost panicking to death!
After leaving the crematorium, from the moment she sat in the returning Maybach driven by the head maid, Ye Zhibai’s heart was in a state of panic!
It’s not like that, Cool Sister.
Why did you suddenly send a message to a dead person’s QQ?!
The more crucial issue is — the time she sent this message.
Both the sending time and content of this message came too timely and too strangely!
Ye Zhibai wasn’t unfamiliar with her personality.
If it hadn’t changed from childhood, then Chi Yuliang’s personality was rather mild-mannered.
That is to say, for anything, she wouldn’t act too rashly, always finding the most suitable and best timing to act, never acting recklessly.
But the timing of her sending this message just now had no delay at all.
Rather, Ye Zhibai estimated, she must have sent the message the instant she turned to leave!
It can only be explained this way — there was an intentional element to her doing this.
Why did she send three 1s?
Ye Zhibai speculated that there was no deep meaning to it, it was just Cool Sister randomly pressing buttons.
The content wasn’t important, the important thing was the sending time!
Because they were in the crematorium at the time, Ye Zhibai had switched her phone messages to silent mode in advance, so there was no notification sound when receiving the message.
But suppose… if there had been a notification sound, if it wasn’t on silent, what would the situation have been?
Very clearly.
— She would have been caught on the spot.
The instant Cool Sister sent the message, Ye Zhibai’s phone would have rung simultaneously.
Wouldn’t that have been a disaster!
Thinking about it now… Ye Zhibai suddenly felt a wave of fear.
How did she become suspicious?
Can there be no trust between people anymore?!
