Su Meiqi: "?"
She kicked Zhou Yi'an again.
"What are you doing? Are you just being nosy?" Su Meiqi glared at her with her round eyes and scolded her, "I'm in so much pain."
Zhou Yi'an awkwardly withdrew her hand and put one hand in her pocket.
"Just doing it on the spur of the moment." Zhou Yi'an didn't dare look at Su Meiqi again and casually made up a sentence: "You've gained weight recently, so you feel especially good to touch."
Su Meiqi: "...?"
It's like dancing in a minefield of cute girls.
"Zhou Yi'an!" Su Meiqi angrily called her by her full name, "Are you trying to die?"
"You want to kill me?" Zhou Yi'an's voice was indifferent as she glanced over casually, her eyes seemingly filled with a hint of expectation.
Zhou Yi'an has small pupils, which makes her look rather sinister when she looks at people in a flirtatious manner.
Su Meiqi was taken aback: "Why would I kill you?"
Zhou Yi'an chuckled: "You don't want me to die?"
“Murder is a crime,” Su Meiqi said angrily.
But this was the first time Su Meiqi had seen Zhou Yi'an like this.
In her daily life, Zhou Yi'an was more like a mischievous older sister in front of her, somewhat deep and seemingly full of secrets, often teasing her.
When she spoke so earnestly, Su Meiqi instantly sensed her desire to die.
“I can let you off the hook,” Zhou Yi’an said, still smiling.
Su Meiqi felt a chill run down her spine, "You...you..."
She stammered a couple of times before finally managing to say, "Don't scare me, Sister An'an."
Seeing tears welling up in her eyes, Zhou Yi'an's heart softened, and she reached out and patted her head. "Alright, I was just kidding."
"You... this joke isn't funny." Su Meiqi leaned closer, looking at her expectantly: "Although I sometimes say I'll beat you to death, I want you to live, really, you..."
Su Meiqi paused, then suddenly asked, "Did you break up with your boyfriend? It's okay. There are countless guys in the world. If they don't treat you well, they can just change partners every day. You're so outstanding, are you afraid you won't find a good boyfriend?"
“But…” Su Meiqi bit her lip: “You really don’t want to die?”
Looking at her expression, which was both aggrieved and pitiful, Zhou Yi'an turned and walked out, saying, "I already told you I was just teasing you."
Su Meiqi chased after her, saying, "Zhou Yi'an, let me tell you, you really can't kill yourself."
Zhou Yi'an: "...Are you hoping I'll die?"
Su Meiqi: "Yes, yes, I'm really looking forward to it! We can have a feast!"
Zhou Yi'an suddenly stopped. Su Meiqi was running too fast and couldn't stop in time, so she crashed directly into Zhou Yi'an's arms.
There was a moment of silence around us.
Su Meiqi swallowed hard, then immediately backed away as if she were on springs.
"What are you doing?" Su Meiqi complained, rubbing her sore chin. "Luckily, this is the original one, otherwise it would have fallen off."
Zhou Yi'an, who had been wearing a cold expression, was amused by her and flicked her forehead. "Go play."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"And you?" Su Meiqi asked.
Zhou Yi'an raised her hand and waved, "I'm leaving now."
Su Meiqi stared at her retreating figure, lost in thought.
A few seconds later, he took out his phone and frantically tapped the screen.
[Sister An'an, don't die, do you hear me?]
[Let me tell you, once you die, you'll never see this stunningly beautiful girl again.]
[I definitely won't be able to hold Sheng Yu down when she cries.]
[Your family has so much money, you have to inherit it! You've earned so much, and you haven't even spent it all yet, you're not allowed to die.]
No, I have a dangerous feeling.
After a while, Zhou Yi'an replied: 【Fake.】
Zhou Yi'an: [Immortal.]
Zhou Yi'an: [You talk too much.]
Su Meiqi: [I'm just worried you might do something rash, sob sob, what if I really never see you again?]
Zhou Yi'an: [The money you didn't spend is yours; you can still afford to attend the banquet.]
Su Meiqi: [Who wants to eat at a banquet? Don't go crazy.]
Zhou Yi'an: [Understood.]
After replying to Su Meiqi, Zhou Yi'an took out a cigarette and lighter from her pocket and lit one in a lazy and casual manner.
A bluish-gray smoke drifted through the air, with sparks flickering in and out.
Zhou Yi'an was just... a little bit sad.
They came to the wedding only to give a gift, but they saw Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu sitting to the side, talking quietly.
Liang Shi was gentle and peaceful, without a trace of hostility.
He is a very good person.
That's why she really couldn't like it.
She was still interested in the Liang Shi from before; just making eye contact with him gave her a sense of excitement.
They have a desire to conquer.
It's like two people walking in the dark meeting each other; they only need one look to know what the other is like.
But Liang Shi doesn't have that now.
Being at a wedding definitely evokes more feelings than usual, and her father is also looking for a marriage partner for her.
She went to see it twice, but couldn't muster any interest in either time.
Thinking of Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu whom I had just met, I felt rather uncomfortable.
As she was lost in thought, the cigarette in her hand burned out.
My phone vibrated slightly again; it was another message from Su Meiqi.
Where are you? I'm coming to find you.
I'm worried.
Zhou Yi'an: [What's there to worry about? I'm not really dead.]
Su Meiqi sent a voice message: "Zhou Yi'an, you scared me just now."
Her voice was trembling with tears.
"I need to see you." Su Meiqi's voice was choked with emotion. "How could you still have such thoughts?"
Zhou Yi'an: [...]
Zhou Yi'an: [At the doorway.]
Su Meiqi ran out, saw her, and rushed over. She stopped in front of her, looked her over several times, and then sniffed, "You scared me to death."
Zhou Yi'an: "..."
Su Meiqi's hair was all messed up. She reached out and tidied Su Meiqi's hair, saying calmly, "What's there to cry about?"
Su Meiqi continued to sniffle, "I...I liked a blogger a while ago, she...she...she committed suicide the day before yesterday. She said the same thing during her live stream before she died. I...I'm afraid you'll die."
Zhou Yi'an: "..."
"I was just joking," Zhou Yi'an said, patting her head. "You're such a scaredy-cat."
Su Meiqi glared at her, "You're so annoying."
As the two were talking, Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu, who were not far away, also came out of the wedding venue.
Seeing Xu Qingzhu stop and look, Liang Shi followed suit and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Are they together?"
"No way," Xu Qingzhu said. "If they were together, Meiqi would definitely make a scene and the whole world would know. Besides... Zhou Yi'an likes someone else."
As she spoke, she glanced at Liang Shi.
Liang Shi: "..."
“It wasn’t me,” Liang Shi immediately distanced himself. “She likes someone else.”
Xu Qingzhu frowned: "Maybe it's because like attracts like? Anyway, they're all pretty crazy."
Liang Shi agreed with her words, but seeing that Su Meiqi and Zhou Yi'an were indeed close, Liang Shi couldn't help but ask, "What if Zhou Yi'an and Meiqi really get together?"
Xu Qingzhu: "...Let's break them up."
Liang Shi: "?"
Xu Qingzhu said expressionlessly, "She is not good enough for my innocent and lovely sister."
Liang Shi: "..."
Chapter 169
Liang Shi never expected that Xu Qingzhu was a sister-obsessed person.
However, upon closer reflection, there was indeed such a tendency before.
She doted on both Xu Qingya and Sheng Yu.
He just appeared cold on the surface, so it wasn't obvious.
Digging deeper, it turns out that Xu Qingzhu is the one who protects her own.
