-: [What a coincidence.jpg]
-: [I also lived in the Central China area for a while. The neighborhood I lived in had a nice environment and convenient transportation.]
Fang Bai thought for a moment about the subway entrance not far from the residential area.
Fang Bai: [It's very convenient.]
Three minutes later.
Hao Yingman shook the water off her hands, walked to the coffee table, and as she took out a tissue to dry her hands, she saw Fang Bai typing with his head down. She walked over to her and glanced at him, "Still chatting?"
"No, she's busy, otherwise we'd still be chatting," Fang Bai said half-jokingly. "She's even more talkative than you."
Hao Yingman didn't believe it. "I've never met anyone who can talk as much as I can."
Fang Bai handed the phone to Hao Yingman, "Look."
Hao Yingman casually swiped a couple of times, and the two talked mostly about cats, exchanging their experiences and tips on raising cats.
Hao Yingman knew that Fang Bai's profile picture was of her cat, so she wasn't surprised.
But one record made Hao Yingman frown: "Why did you reveal the name of the neighborhood?"
"What's wrong?" Fang Bai picked up his phone again, scrolled through the records, and didn't see anything wrong.
Hao Yingman crossed her arms and said with a hint of jealousy, "Hmph, when I asked you your name, you wouldn't even say a word. How come you revealed the name of your neighborhood to her after just a few words? Just because she's cute?"
Fang Bai saw through Hao Yingman's thoughts and nodded earnestly, "Yes."
Of course not, she's leaving tomorrow, so it doesn't matter whether she says it or not.
Hao Yingman doesn't live here either, so it doesn't matter if people find out.
The main reason is that Fang Bai also got some information from Xiao Zhang, and Hao Yingman also saw it.
They actually admitted it!
Hao Yingman retorted, "Am I not cute?!"
As soon as Hao Yingman finished asking her question, she saw Fang Bai staring at her face.
It seems like they're genuinely observing whether she's cute or not.
Hao Yingman looked at Fang Bai and suddenly felt deflated. Remembering what she had just seen, she asked, "Leaving tomorrow?"
"Hmm." Fang Bai lifted his eyelids slightly. "So you're not going to care whether you're cute or not?"
Hao Yingman raised her hand and patted Fang Bai's shoulder, "What are you still arguing about at a time like this? Hurry up and get ready, I'll take you out for a day and let you experience the beauty of my great Nancheng."
Fang Bai asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Hao Yingman tossed her hair and said with great enthusiasm, "There's plenty of time to sleep."
Fang Bai only had one day left in Nancheng.
Hao Yingman kept her word and really took Fang Bai out for a day in Nancheng.
After the two had dinner, Hao Yingman escorted Fang Bai back to his apartment complex, which was already 9 p.m.
After Fang Bai got out of the car, he turned around and was about to bend down to say goodbye to Hao Yingman when he heard Hao Yingman say, "Your lipstick fell off."
The lipstick fell into the crevice.
Hao Yingman reached out to take it.
Before the car door was closed, Fang Bai bent down to grab it at the same moment.
From behind Fang Bai, the two looked like a couple deeply in love, reluctant to part, and even shared a farewell kiss after getting out of the car.
Romantic and passionate.
Fang Bai picked up the fallen lipstick first, and as he stood up, he said to Hao Yingman, "Be careful on your way back."
Hao Yingman straightened up and said, "I know, I know."
Then Hao Yingman waved to Fang Bai: "Goodbye."
Fang Bai gently closed the car door. "Goodbye, goodbye."
Hao Yingman rolled down the car window. "Learning from me?"
"No?" Fang Bai asked.
"Okay." Hao Yingman nodded, then quickly said "Imitations are like dogs" before rolling up the car window and driving away.
“…”
Two seconds later, Fang Bai turned around with a light laugh.
She was wearing a white dress, and as she turned around, a gentle breeze blew, causing her loose hair and the hem of her dress to flutter.
Like an angel descended to earth.
A smile on one's face has the power to heal everything.
The dress had a square neckline, revealing her swan-like neck and collarbone, which looked fair and alluring in the dim light.
Fang Bai took two steps and looked up to see a person standing under the courtyard lamp a few steps away.
In the dim light, Fang Bai could only make out the other person's tall figure, all alone, as if waiting for someone.
Although her face was not clearly visible, judging from her figure, she must be a beautiful woman.
Fang Bai was a little curious. She had lived here for more than half a month and usually only saw her elderly grandmother. This was the first time she had encountered... a young person.
Fang Bai was surprised for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and continued walking forward. She looked down to put the lipstick in her hand into her bag.
After filling the lipstick container, Fang Bai was about to walk up to the person.
Unable to resist his curiosity, Fang Bai wanted to see what this young man looked like.
Who doesn't enjoy looking at beautiful women?!
Even with the weakest light, within a few steps, Fang Bai could clearly see the other person's appearance.
His features were aloof, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and the emotions in his eyes were obscure and unpredictable.
Three years have passed, and his once youthful features have matured considerably, his facial lines now cold and austere.
Under the warm orange light, the shadow of the tree was cast on the left side of the person's face. The slightly swaying shadow made Fang Bai feel a sense of unreality.
After a two-second pause, Fang Bai instinctively turned around.
Just as Fang Bai was about to leave, Ji Yuning's voice sounded behind him: "Auntie, where are you going?"
Author's Note:
Fang Bai: A chill ran down my spine T_T
Chapter 76
Fang Bai was still reeling from the shock of Ji Yuning suddenly appearing before him.
The body's subconscious reactions are the truest reflection of one's inner self.
Where to?
Of course, run.
Fang Bai pretended not to hear the sound behind him, continued walking forward, and then ran away.
And that's exactly what she did.
Before Fang Bai could take a single step, Ji Yuning's voice rang out again: "Why does Auntie want to leave as soon as she sees me?"
The bewildered tone contained obvious grievance, like being abandoned and then reunited, only to face being abandoned a second time before there was even time to feel joy.
Fang Bai stopped in her tracks, finding it hard to believe that Ji Yuning would speak in such a tone.
He looked so pitiful, more like bait to lure her in.
Although he told himself not to be fooled, Fang Bai still hesitated to leave.
There's no denying that she took the bait.
She heard light footsteps behind her, followed by Ji Yuning's voice right behind her, "Does Auntie think she's seen a ghost?"
That's right, the ghost that's trying to take my life.
Fang Bai took a deep breath, suppressing the surprise and hesitation in his eyes, and turned around.
Ji Yuning stood half a step away from Fang Bai, so close that Fang Bai's breathing became much lighter.
With a gentle light in his eyes, Fang Bai looked directly at the person he hadn't seen for three years.
She originally wanted to see Ji Yuning.
Now that Ji Yuning is in front of her, she no longer needs to sneak a peek. She can see more clearly now, which can be considered as fulfilling a wish before she dies.
Fang Bai's initial glance was too hasty; he only noticed Ji Yuning's more mature features. Now, standing face to face, he realized that the child was actually half a head taller than her.
Fang Bai looked down and saw that Ji Yuning was wearing white sneakers with not very thick soles.
How did it get so tall?
Fang Bai looked down at Ji Yuning's shoes, but to an uninformed person, this behavior seemed like he didn't want to see the person standing opposite him, and that he was silent because he had nothing to say.
The cracks in Ji Yuning's heart grew wider and wider.
She remembered what she had seen a few minutes earlier.
Before seeing her, Fang Bai was still reluctant to part with her, and even after seeing her off, he still had a smile on his face.
The smile was so delightful.
The moment he recognized her, Fang Bai turned around without hesitation, ignoring her words.
