Chapter 81. Please Be Grateful
Chi Yuliang was about to take a sip of tea, but now she didn’t dare at all.
Not because Ye Zhiyun’s aura was so intimidating.
But because the quality of the teacup was questionable!
It shattered with just a grip!
Perhaps the teacups of these big families focus on appearance, looking good but not practical.
The broken teacup crashed onto the table, spilling tea everywhere, but Ye Zhiyun had no mind to pour another cup now.
She stood up with a gloomy face, her gaze sharp, seemingly about to utter those two words of truth to the maids waiting outside the meeting room.
— See her out!
In fact, she did say it.
But only half of it.
“See…”
“Yun’er, wait.”
“Sister?!”
Ye Zhiyun was shocked!
Sister protected that Lin Zihan a few days ago, not letting me beat her up, saying violence wasn’t good, which was understandable.
But now, she even interrupts me when I’m about to see someone out!
Wuwu! She must not love me anymore!
However, when Ye Zhiyun looked at Ye Zhibai’s purple eyes filled with complex emotions,
After a brief daze, understanding suddenly dawned in Yun’er’s eyes!
She leaned close to Ye Zhibai’s ear, her tone full of reverence for her sister’s wisdom.
“Sister, could it be you want…! Is it because of that? Is that why you’re not letting me send her away?”
“?”
That? Which that?!
I just wanted to say, there must be a misunderstanding here! Cool Sister’s words definitely don’t mean what they seem on the surface!
Although she didn’t know what Yun’er had understood, the admiration in her eyes made Ye Zhibai unable to refuse.
So, the shameless little Zhibai nodded decisively.
“Yes, it’s just as you guessed.”
“I knew it! As expected of sister, your wisdom and strategy, Yun’er can’t compare! I’ve learned my lesson!”
Really…? Why do I feel like my wisdom is a scarce resource?
This time Yun’er didn’t make a fuss, although she was still surrounded by jealousy, at least she regained her dignified posture.
She called a maid to clean up the broken teacup shards, and even brewed herself a new cup of tea.
Ye Zhibai believed that the conversation with Cool Sister still needed to be led by herself.
After all, Chi Yuliang had made it clear, she was here to see her.
Ye Zhibai rested her arms on the table.
Her silver hair naturally falling over her shoulders, with a beauty like the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven.
“Chi Yuliang, I don’t remember having any appointment with you tomorrow. In fact, we’re not familiar, we’ve only met once, right?”
Cool Sister, please say yes! So I’ll know you don’t suspect me!
But Chi Yuliang just blinked innocently and smiled gently.
“Yes, Miss Ye, we don’t have an appointment. That’s why I just wanted to come and invite you. Um… I’ve chosen a very remote but nice environment cemetery for Little Bai. We’re going to bury the urn tomorrow. Miss Ye, last time you said you met Little Bai in a dream, I found it hard to understand at first. But after thinking about it at home… I feel this might indeed be some kind of fate. I’ll do as you said, put his favorite osmanthus cake in front of the grave, I’ll bring it all.”
Saying this, Chi Yuliang suddenly lowered her head deeply.
Her purple hair fell onto the table, and her words were full of pleading.
“My little brother, Little Bai… he was a pitiful child, he had almost no friends to talk to when he was alive. If only I go to send him off tomorrow, I feel… he would feel lonely. So Miss Ye, if you feel this fate is real, the dream is real, please spare some time to see him off, okay? He would be happy… On behalf of Little Bai… and myself, I thank you!”
“……”
Her head was already lowered almost to the table.
At first, Cool Sister’s tone was calm, just stating the situation.
But as she continued, when she mentioned Little Bai had no friends,
Her voice obviously became hoarse for a moment.
It was this care that couldn’t be cut off that moved Ye Zhibai so much.
Actually, Ye Zhibai originally thought… after the crematorium incident, she should try not to have any more connections with Cool Sister.
Freeing each other, each living their own lives.
Peacefully saying goodbye to the past was also a kind of happiness.
But if Cool Sister still couldn’t let go like this,
Even if she had some other thoughts
Ye Zhibai found it hard to say “no” again.
“Chi Yuliang, please raise your head.”
“Miss Ye… does this mean you agree to come?”
“Sigh… it’s no trouble.”
Ye Zhibai hadn’t learned much else, but she just learned these two words from Yun’er.
— No trouble!
Sounds quite cool when you say it!
The moment Ye Zhibai nodded in agreement, an inexplicable joy flashed in Chi Yuliang’s clear black pupils!
No, it could almost be called ecstasy!
Hearing this, Ye Zhiyun probably understood too.
She respected her sister’s decision.
But there were some things she had to say.
“I see… Chi Yuliang, when you said going on a trip earlier, you meant going to a cemetery in the suburbs, right.”
“Yes… yes, Miss Ye! That’s what I meant!”
“You should have made that clear… Sigh, in that case, you saying you want to go alone with sister, that must be a misunderstanding too, right? This is simply absurd.”
Wuwu Yun’er, if this level can be described as absurd, then this word is too cheap!
But to this question,
Chi Yuliang shook her head.
“This… might be a bit presumptuous, but I was hoping only Miss Ye would come with me alone. The cemetery isn’t suitable for many people to go together. Little Bai and I were like siblings, and Miss Ye has the fate of meeting Little Bai in a dream, so just the two of us going would…”
“Sorry, but that’s impossible.”
“Eh?”
Ye Zhiyun interrupted Chi Yuliang’s proposal without leaving any room for negotiation.
Under the table, where Chi Yuliang couldn’t see, Yun’er quietly held her sister’s hand.
Gripping it very tightly.
“Miss Chi… you might not know, but sister just recently left the hospital due to illness. Before that, she had been in a very serious car accident. If you want her to go on a trip far away, and not let anyone accompany and protect her, I’m sorry, but it’s impossible for me to agree. Even if sister agrees, it’s not feasible in this matter.”
“Car accident…!”
Chi Yuliang now hates this word very, very much!
Her shoulders trembled slightly as she looked at Ye Zhibai sympathetically, her expression gloomy.
Ye Zhiyun also fell silent.
Her determined gaze, longing to protect the one she deeply loves, kept drifting towards Ye Zhibai.
Uh… you two
You two really
Please don’t make it seem like I’ll definitely get hit by a car every time I go out!
Do you think I’m some ultimate unlucky person?!
Regarding this matter, after discussion among the three, they finally reached a compromise.
— Ye Zhiyun and the maid team would escort Ye Zhibai to the outskirts of the cemetery, and only inside the cemetery where there were no vehicles would Ye Zhibai be allowed to move alone for a short time.
So, are you saying I’m at odds with cars?!
Is it actively hitting me or am I trying to stop a car with my bare hands?!
It’s so annoying!
The brief conversation was over.
The atmosphere was generally a bit depressing.
Only Ye Zhibai didn’t understand where the depression was coming from.
When sending Chi Yuliang out of the meeting room,
Ye Zhiyun, with a cold face, very seriously told her one thing.
“Miss Chi, sister going out tomorrow is not a problem. But please know… my sister has made a great sacrifice. The day after tomorrow is the college entrance exam, she’s sacrificing her revision time to send off the deceased. As her sister, I have the right to inform you of this. So, please don’t take everything for granted, please, be grateful.”
“!”
Ye Zhiyun and Chi Yuliang turned back, their gazes towards Ye Zhibai… became even more sympathetic and pitiful.
Ye Zhibai thought,
You’d be more meaningful pitying the ants blocked by bricks at the door than pitying my college entrance exam!
Don’t ask why.
If you ask, it’s because I have Guang Yu!
At this moment, Guang Yu was dividing drinks in Ye Zhibai’s room.
There were two cups in total, she kindly left half a cup for Ye Zhibai, uh… maybe a little less than half? Anyway, it wasn’t empty yet!
She even added wasabi.
Hehe, Ye Zhibai will definitely be very happy when she comes back.
Ah… I’ll put the drink in the sun to warm it up a bit! It’s not good when it’s cold!
