Ye Ying doesn't have Hu Fengyao's leisurely mind at the moment.
She rested her head on her hands, stared blankly at the void, and only sighed after a long while: "Alas..."
After sighing, she continued to be in a daze.
After a while, she switched hands again and continued to hold her hair in a daze.
A few minutes later, there was another ghostly "Oh..."
She sighed like a psychopath, and Tao Zi, who was sitting next to her, was so hairy that she slammed the mouse in her hand, turned her head and yelled, "You took the wrong medicine? You just came back from work, don't force me to whip you."
Ye Ying was completely unaffected by Taozi's ferocity, her eyes turned around in a daze, and she looked at Taozi like a pool of stagnant water: "Taozi, you say..."
"What the **** is - love?"
Taozi: "...No, let's talk about this in the office."
Ye Ying: "..."
This broken road also drives me: "I mean-"
Tao Zi waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, I don't even need to ask. Have you had a fight with your fried chicken pretty boy?"
"It's...not a quarrel."
Ye Ying twitched: "It's just that I'm confused now, he treats me..."
She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know how to make the matter of "Fate Star" less metaphysical, so she waved her hand: "Forget it."
"Ham, there's nothing to say."
Unexpectedly, Taozi waved her small hand nonchalantly: "Are you not sure whether his feelings for you, or your feelings for him, are true and pure?"
As if struck by lightning, Ye Ying looked at Taozi in shock, her mouth was so wide that she could almost stuff an egg.
Now she seriously doubts that Taozi has any talent that is different from ordinary people, and she often tells the truth casually.
Taozi snorted triumphantly.
"Even if we've been together for many years, I'm afraid you don't know your sister Taozi's name in love."
Ye Ying tilted her head slightly, her eyes were sincere, and she was all ears.
Tao Zi raised her chin and looked at Ye Ying with the end of her eyes, and raised her eyebrows: "Sister, I am known as Jianghu, I understand love very well!"
Ye Ying: "..."
What the hell.
Seeing Ye Ying's suspicious eyes, Da Ming Taozi reprimanded: "Put away your suspicious eyes, did I just say something wrong?"
This... is really accurate. Ye Ying hurriedly corrected her attitude and humbly asked for advice: "Great God, please guide me."
Taozi narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked like an expert: "Your situation is too normal. Questioning the purity of the other party's feelings is a hypocritical route that must be followed in a relationship. Have you seen Xiao Sidai?"
She suddenly seemed to be a different person, looking at Ye Ying with deep eyes, and standard Taiwanese Mandarin came out of her mouth: "If I were a student receiving a subsidy today, if I was a poor boy with no money, you would love me ?"
Ye Ying: "..."
I wouldn't love you even if you were rich, you look like you have that serious disease.
Seeing that Ye Ying didn't answer, Tao Zi returned to normal.
She spread her hands: "Did you see that? When the two rich second generations are in love, they will discuss the trivial topic of 'Will you love me if I have no money'. It is normal for a novice in love to encounter this kind of problem."
After all, she watched Ye Ying become a widow for six years. Although she didn't know what happened between her and Zhou Zhirui on campus, she knew a little about Ye Ying's rank.
Ye Ying turned in her mind.
Although it is different from Taozi's example, the relationship between her and Huang Xize is not because of money... But in essence, it is indeed the case.
But it's not her fault.
She felt that it was not normal before, the two had not known each other for long, and she was obviously resistant at first, but she still had feelings for Huang Xize unconsciously.
She has always attributed this to the drawbridge effect—after all, she has been living under the shadow of being killed by a haunted house since the two met.
As for Huang Xize who came forward to save him several times, it was normal for her to have such emotions towards him.
But this emotion was so fierce that Ye Ying was caught off guard.
Only now did I know that it was because the so-called "fate star" had an impact on the two of them.
Here comes the problem. Without the influence of "Fate Star", the relationship between her and Huang Xize...would it still be the way it is now?
Ye Ying bit her lip, once again caught in a tangle.
Seeing this, Taozi sighed: "Look at your state, go out for a drink with me tonight."
People are under a lot of pressure nowadays, and it is normal to go to a bar to have a drink with friends to decompress.
It's just that Ye Ying has been obsessed with saving money to buy a house these years, and the last time she went to a bar seems to have been four or five years ago.
She was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
Mainly to go home... No, 1902, she was afraid that she would be cranky again.
…
In the bar, Ye Ying made a phone call and told her parents to stay with friends tonight and go home later.
Putting down the phone, Taozi beside him was surprised: "Uncle and aunt are here?"
"Um."
Ye Ying put down her phone a little irritably, raised her glass and took a sip.
The special tune was a bit of a failure, and it was somewhat spicy for Ye Ying, who hadn't drank for many years. She swallowed the liquid, hissed, and put down the glass.
Tao Zi watched from the side and laughed: "Your reaction after drinking is similar to my father."
Ye Ying let out a long breath and leaned on the sofa.
Seeing this, Taozi hated iron for being weak: "Look at your virtue, love really makes people regress."
Ask again: "So uncle and aunt are living in your new house now? Can they live there?"
Ye Ying sighed, leaning her head on Jiu Jin to look sideways at Tao Zi: "The house I bought can't live in people now."
"Can't live with people?"
Tao Zi looked at a loss: "Why can't people live? Haven't we lived together before?"
Ye Ying was speechless, the night the two of them stayed was already supernatural. That is to say, Taozi has a rough nerve and firmly believes in atheism, so she didn't think in that direction at all.
Ye Ying put her hands on the table, tilted her head slightly to look at Taozi, and asked without answering, "Do you still remember the circle of friends you showed me before?"
Taozi was dull: "Which one?"
"The 820,000 one in Yuedong District."
Seeing that Taozi was still in a daze, Ye Ying summed it up briefly: "That haunted house where more than a dozen people died."
Tao Zi remembered instantly: "Of course. What's wrong?"
Ye Ying stared at her with dead fish eyes: "That's my home."
peach:"."
Tao Zi looked blank, Tao Zi was shocked, and Tao Zi fell into deep thought.
Then she cautiously probed: "Brother Ying, you..."
"I've already encountered it."
Ye Ying looked at her expressionlessly: "And you also met, but you don't believe it."
"Impossible, does not exist, should not."
Tao Zi categorically threw out the three consecutive denials, waving her hands almost out of shape: "How is it possible? Have you forgotten Marxism-Leninism! Science, democracy..."
Ye Ying glanced at Taozi speechlessly: "Do you want to continue listening?"
Tao Zi hurriedly sat upright: "Listen."
So in the next fifteen minutes, Taozi heard a story that would shock her for a hundred years.
Ye Ying spoke dryly, raised her glass, took a sip, and asked, "Now do you understand?"
Although she hid Tao Zi before, but now she finally confessed, Ye Ying still felt relieved.
Most importantly, someone shared these secrets with her.
Tao Zi's eyes were blank, she looked at her with her mouth half open, and she stretched out her hand to Ye Ying's face for a while.
Ye Ying knocked off her paw angrily: "I don't have a fever."
"No, this..."
Tao Zi withdrew her hand resentfully, thought for a long time, and asked, "Have you been under too much pressure lately?"
Ye Ying said a lot, but only got this one sentence, and almost laughed angrily: "Do you mean that I have a mental problem?"
Tao Zi immediately shook her head: "Of course not."
Just as Ye Ying's brows relaxed for a moment, she heard her next sentence: "It's a mental problem."
Ye Ying: ...
Her face was grim for a moment, and Tao Zi hurriedly explained: "You can't blame me! Did you listen to what you said?"
"I lived in a haunted house where more than a dozen people died, and was haunted by ghosts in the middle of the night. I almost confessed my life."
"The handsome guy in the flash marriage is a weasel, and you still have to rely on him to catch ghosts for you."
"He was hit by a bus to save you and was discharged from the hospital a few days ago—are you sure you didn't see hallucinations while watching Twilight?"
Tao Zi suddenly leaned against the sofa behind her, let out a long breath, and protested: "Listen to what you said, do I suspect that you are wrong?"
Ye Ying had no choice but to give up: "Anyway, I told you, believe it or not. Just don't say I'm hiding it from you."
The two of them didn't talk congenially, they sat down and drank wine sullenly, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Ye Ying was so annoyed that she drank faster. One cup quickly ran out, so she ordered another cup.
Tao Zi looked at her with a bad complexion, and felt a little sorry. But all this is too bizarre, and she is still digesting it now, and really doesn't know what to say.
Soon, the wine ordered was served. Ye Ying didn't look up, just said thank you casually, but suddenly heard a voice.
A... voice that doesn't belong here.
The lights were ambiguous and dim, and amidst the lingering music in the bar, there was a burst of crisp bells.
This voice cut through the drowsy air in an instant.
The sound of the bell reminded Ye Ying suddenly of the bell ringing in her ears when she was almost hanged in the haunted house!
Ye Ying suddenly raised her head and looked around in panic.
In the dim light, everyone's face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray. Some of them are talking loudly, some are whispering. In Ye Ying's eyes at this moment, all this is like a blurred dream.
And she didn't know if this dream was a beautiful dream, or...
nightmare.
Ye Ying's body froze uncontrollably, Tao Zi sensed something was wrong with her, and hurriedly held her hand across the table: "Ye Ying, what's wrong?"
Ye Ying pinched her fingers back subconsciously, with such force that Tao Zi was a little scared: "Did you hear the bell?"
Tao Zi was stunned by the question: "Bell? What bell?"
As soon as she asked, she also remembered the process of encountering a ghost that Ye Ying described just now, and her face turned ugly: "Don't scare me, you said..."
"Yes... that's the one."
Ye Ying's eyes were wide open, her expression was calm, but her lips were already pale.
She followed the voice and looked back, only to see a dark figure standing in the dark corner of the bar.
