Chapter 84. Please Don’t Thank Me
The next day, while the morning birdsong had not yet faded, the sky was still shrouded in a hazy mist.
As agreed, Chi Yuliang visited the Ye family mansion early again.
Waiting to go to the suburban cemetery together with the Ye sisters.
Ye Zhiyun had not only arranged the sedan in advance.
She had even arranged the seating in advance!
“Miss Chi, the back is cramped, you sit in the front passenger seat, remember to fasten your seatbelt.”
“O-Okay!”
Since it wasn’t her own car, out of politeness, Chi Yuliang had originally intended to sit in the back.
But who knew, Ye Zhiyun quickly held Ye Zhibai’s hand and occupied the spacious back seat!
Actually… even if three people were to sit in the back, it would be completely spacious enough.
But Chi Yuliang was sent to the front passenger seat.
Don’t ask, if asked, the only one who can sit next to sister is Yun’er!
Guang Yu: Actually, there’s me too!
Everyone just couldn’t see her, in reality the back still had a configuration of two people plus one fox.
Ye Zhibai bringing Guang Yu out wasn’t necessary, but mainly because she was worried she would pull out the newly replanted spring onions in the yard again.
The spring onions weren’t important, those flowers were also in imminent danger, leaving the fox at home alone, everything would be in peril.
—— Including the water cup that Ye Zhibai had finally scrubbed the wasabi taste off of.
After the car started, Ye Zhiyun found that Ye Zhibai was listless, occasionally closing her eyes and dozing off.
Yun’er thoughtfully put her small palm in front of her forehead to prevent her sister from bumping her head on the front seat when her body leaned forward.
“Sister… how late did you study last night? We clearly agreed that you’d go to sleep after eating the fruit and stop studying, but your room light was still on. You insisted on continuing to study, and I didn’t want to persuade you again, but why don’t you listen to Yun’er…”
“Ah… hm? Yes… according to general principles of analysis, eliminating the possibility that I might have been doing function problems in my dreams, considering the regional advantage of staying up late… I guess I pulled an all-nighter last night?”
“……”
I can see that.
Sister’s mind is still full of review content for various subjects, wuwu!
So pitiful!
Only Guang Yu saw through it clearly, Ye Zhiyun knew Ye Zhibai’s room light was on all night, doesn’t this mean she also stayed up all night waiting outside?
One pulled an all-nighter, the other followed suit, these sisters are truly tough!
The sedan drove from the urban area into the suburbs.
The scenery outside the window changed from tall buildings to lush woods.
The head maid stepped on the gas pedal, driving the car over a hundred miles per hour on the completely empty suburban road, and couldn’t help but glance at the two things in Chi Yuliang’s arms.
On Chi Yuliang’s plain white elegant dress, she steadily held an urn, and there was also a small bag that seemed to contain pastries.
When driving, it’s better to chat and stay alert, with the young miss dozing off there, even the head maid was feeling a bit drowsy!
So, the head maid turned down the volume of the car’s audio system, and then respectfully asked.
“Miss Chi, I’m not quite sure, pardon me for asking, during the period from cremation to burial today, does the urn need to be kept at the crematorium? Did you go retrieve it this morning and then rush to the mansion?”
The crematorium is quite far from the Ye family mansion, which means Chi Yuliang would have to set out at least at three or four in the morning to make it in time.
She’s really quite attentive and diligent. I heard she has no blood relation to the deceased called Ye Zhibai, to do this much can be said to be going above and beyond.
After understanding the question, Chi Yuliang shook her head with a bitter smile.
She hugged the urn tightly in her arms, while her slender fingers held the plastic bag containing the osmanthus cake, unwilling to let it fall.
“No, actually… according to regulations, the urn should be kept at the crematorium, but I felt that leaving Xiao Bai there alone, he would definitely feel lonely and scared. My brother was lonely for a lifetime, he shouldn’t be left without support at the end. So on the day of cremation, I took the urn back home, didn’t leave it at the crematorium, today I brought the urn directly.”
“…” Okay.
The head maid felt that this conversation was a bit beyond her ability.
She’d better say a few more words and then keep quiet.
Chi Yuliang’s previous statement immediately woke Ye Zhibai up.
Those math problem bubbles in her head were instantly popped by Chi Yuliang’s shocking words!
Cool Sister! I know you want to take me home.
But that urn, you really can’t take it home!
Ye Zhibai suddenly became clear-headed, frowning.
“Chi Yuliang, you said you took the urn home…?”
“Ah, sorry… Miss Zhibai, did I wake you up? Reviewing for the college entrance exam must be tiring… Um, what I just said wasn’t quite accurate. Although I’m not afraid of Xiao Bai myself… bringing the urn home would trouble my adoptive parents, they adopted and raised me from the welfare institute, I owe them. So these past two days, I’ve been staying out alone with the urn.”
“Stay… where?”
“Well… because I wanted to bring Xiao Bai home, so I thought, it would be best to stay at his former apartment these two days. When I went there, the door seemed broken, I fixed it for him. And those lights, after paying the electricity bill they could still light up, ahahaha… it’s just pitch dark, a bit scary, sleeping on the floor was a bit chilly. But it’s okay, I know Xiao Bai is by my side, so I feel very safe, I believe, Xiao Bai will definitely protect me well.”
“!!”
Ye Zhibai started “dozing off” again.
Not really dozing, but needing to tilt over.
She directly tilted to the side, once again squeezing Guang Yu against the car window.
Guang Yu, don’t complain, I need to calm down.
Cool Sister is not only loyal and righteous, but also filial, what kind of perfect girl is this?!
Think about it, what kind of life has Cool Sister been living these past two days, Ye Zhibai who had always lived in that apartment knows best.
You can still smile!
Living in my broken apartment? And guarding an urn?!
Cool Sister, you’re still the same as before! Not enjoying the good life, always suffering!
Ye Zhiyun was also listening, she had to say, this person Chi Yuliang, indeed has quite a personality, and values emotions.
Since the topic had been brought up.
Yun’er also casually asked a question.
“Miss Chi, you’re staying out alone, aren’t your parents worried?”
“It’s- it’s okay! I told them I went back to the capital university to handle some graduation-related matters, I’ll be back in three days, they won’t worry!”
Guang Yu’s mental voice sounded in Ye Zhibai’s mind.
“Ye Zhibai, you’re squeezing me, I won’t mind for now, but honestly, why are you pulling my tail fur again.”
“Guang Yu, you don’t understand a thing… I feel so bad right now, I want to cry, but I can’t cry. What’s wrong with pulling your tail fur, how can you be so unsympathetic…”
“?”
You’re sympathetic! You’re noble!
Chi Yuliang was still outputting.
She raised the plastic bag held by her fingers a bit higher, her eyes looking back at Ye Zhibai were full of gratitude.
“I want to thank you again… Miss Zhibai, thanks to your suggestion, I thought of bringing the osmanthus cake to the cemetery. Whether for Xiao Bai or for me, having this osmanthus cake accompany Xiao Bai is a kind of comfort.”
Honestly, Cool Sister.
Please don’t thank me anymore.
Just for what you’ve done these past two days, it wouldn’t be too much for me to kowtow to you twice!
In this strange atmosphere in the car.
In the distance, the outline of the cemetery garden was already clearly visible.
Urn
You’re finally, going to have a resting place.
