On the way to Qianli Xiang BBQ, the wind lifted the girl's beautiful silver hair, causing pedestrians out foraging for food at night to turn their heads.
This hair color was too conspicuous, it couldn't be helped.
Su Yun walked quickly as usual, not quite used to such intense gazes.
But suddenly, she thought of something.
"Excuse me, have you seen a girl with the same hair color as me?" Su Yun walked to a nearby convenience store and asked the owner who was squatting on the ground.
"I've been in the store all this time, how would I know, uh." The owner slowly raised his head, and his words and expression froze when he saw Su Yun's appearance.
"Miss, you, why are your eyes red... oh, oh, they're colored contacts, right?" The owner was obviously more flustered than before and quickly stood up.
"I did see two girls with hair like yours just now. It's too obvious, I saw them from inside the store. They went that way."
The other person pointed in a direction for Su Yun. It wasn't precise, but it was enough.
Because Su Yun had already seen Qin Xue and the others from a distance.
As for forgetting to wear her colored contacts when she went out, Su Yun was indeed surprised, but she was in a hurry now and couldn't go back to put them on.
"Thank you."
Leaving the convenience store, Su Yun immediately walked in that direction. It was a park with a lake and a bridge over it. Next to the lake were a couple of pavilions and a large square where uncles and aunties often danced.
"The vast horizon is my..."
Sure enough, as soon as Su Yun entered the park through a small gate, she saw a group of uncles and aunties exercising their limbs under the moonlight, looking extremely lively.
Sister Xue...
But her gaze was entirely on the person on the bridge over the lake in the distance, Qin Xue.
Chu Bing was standing next to Qin Xue, and they were very close, as if whispering secrets.
"Damn it, this isn't doing volunteer work..." Su Yun frowned in dissatisfaction. She was determined to catch the two of them and question them thoroughly.
But just then, the person on the distant lake also glanced in her direction.
Before Su Yun could get past the uncles and aunties, the two slender figures disappeared from the lake.
"Sister Xue."
"Aiya, you little girl, why don't you watch where you're going!"
In her haste, Su Yun started running and bumped into an auntie who was still dancing. She didn't fall, but it was close.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"What's the use of being sorry? My body can't take a fall. Pay up!"
"Huh?"
Seeing the auntie's unforgiving tone and her readiness to call for help, Su Yun knew she was in trouble.
"Everyone, come and see! Someone knocked me down and won't help me up!"
"You didn't fall..."
Soon, the surrounding uncles and aunties who were dancing gathered around, and some had even started lecturing Su Yun.
"How can you be so ignorant at such a young age? How did your parents raise you? Your beauty is wasted. You're destined to achieve nothing in the future."
"I think you're just a vixen."
"..."
What the heck.
Some aunties helped her, but most of them were scolding her. It seemed these people were all friends of that auntie, who usually danced together.
Seeing the conflicting opinions around her, countless wrinkled faces scolding her with anger.
She couldn't refute.
Maybe I should just teleport away.
"Auntie Wang, long time no see. You're back in Tong'an these few days?" At this moment, a young man stopped the group of uncles and aunties.
"She's my tenant, just recently came to Tong'an."
"Yours, huh? Tell her to watch where she's going! Look what she did to me." The auntie who was bumped had a resentful expression, seemingly unwilling to let it go.
"Yes, yes. By the way, Auntie Wang, how's your business in the other city? I heard it's getting better and better. You can't even take a few more days off for the holiday."
"Of course! Do you know, I..."
The auntie who was raging a second ago was now chatting with Wang Liang about her shop, no longer holding onto Su Yun.
And many people nearby also seemed to know Wang Liang and started chatting about family matters, so naturally, no one continued to bother Su Yun.
"This..."
Su Yun didn't expect Wang Liang to come, and he even solved the problem.
She didn't need to teleport.
"I heard your grades are very good after you went to university. You're going to be a doctor in the future, and then a scientist, right?"
"What scientist? You won't have time to get married then. Hurry up and find someone."
Now it was Wang Liang's turn to be surrounded by the uncles and aunties. These people, they didn't do much during the holidays, but when they saw the younger generation, they had to ask about all sorts of things, especially marriage and career.
Su Yun quietly slipped away from behind to chase after Chu Bing.
The sky gradually darkened, and the moonlight was faintly reflected on the lake.
Su Yun felt that the path to the bridge was particularly long, with people blocking her way.
By the time she got on the bridge, Qin Xue was long gone.
"Why are you hiding from me, Sister Xue..." Su Yun lowered her head, her expression a little dejected.
Why, what on earth is it...
She had just been scolded by those uncles and aunties.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
"?" A familiar, childish voice sounded from beside her. Su Yun was stunned, then looked at her side in surprise.
A girl with pigtails, wearing a thick white and pleated skirt, came into view.
Her eyes were lively, and her figure was small.
Su Yun thought she had seen wrong.
"Rong Caixuan, why are you out so late?"
"I came out with Father. What are you doing here alone, Mother?" Rong Caixuan asked back.
"I'm looking for Qin Xue," Su Yun replied, then frowned, looking at a certain round part behind Rong Caixuan.
For some reason, she felt an inexplicable urge when she saw this girl.
The pigtail girl subconsciously covered the back of her skirt. "Eek, Mother, don't look at me like that. I haven't done anything bad these past few days. I've been very good."
Su Yun suppressed the urge. "...Take me to your father."
"Aren't they on the bridge? Hey, they're gone. Where did they go?" Rong Caixuan looked around blankly, then bumped into Su Yun's shoulder without looking where she was going.
This thing is so stupid... my hand is itching, I want to hit it.
Su Yun was speechless. She grabbed Rong Caixuan's hand and walked down the other side of the bridge.
"If I can't find them, I'll spank you tonight!"
"Eh!? No! I just came out to help Father and Sister take pictures!"
"Why didn't you tell me you were going out?" Su Yun asked as she walked on the dim bridge.
Why did they leave her at home alone? Why did they let Chu Bing and Sister Xue hug?
Su Yun had many questions, but the most urgent thing now was to see where Qin Xue had run off to.
"Father said you were sleeping and didn't want to disturb you. That's all. What's wrong?" Rong Caixuan was being pulled along, her pigtails swaying behind her. Her cute face was full of innocence and purity.
"..."
Obviously, this girl knew nothing and was just a tool for taking pictures.
No wonder Chu Bing and the others left her on the bridge.
Su Yun couldn't be bothered to ask this idiot anymore. She pulled the girl's soft little hand and searched for Qin Xue in the slightly dark park.
After getting off the bridge, besides the square where the aunties and uncles were dancing, there were small paths surrounding the lake, three or four meters wide, with occasional pavilions extending over the lake.
Mainly because there were still people jogging on the paths at night, as well as various people out for a walk after dinner and after school, the park was crowded and it was really not that easy to find them.
"Where did Sister Xue go..." Su Yun looked for a while but couldn't find her.
"Mother, Father and the others are hiding behind that tree."
"?"
She followed the direction Rong Caixuan's slender white hand was pointing and saw a figure. The other person's back was to her, with black hair cascading down her back.
"Sister Xue... sigh."
Unfortunately, there was a small path in between, and Su Yun was blocked by the crowd. She had to wait for a while before she could go over.
Walking onto the lawn, Su Yun's unease grew more and more obvious. She wanted to know why Qin Xue was hiding from her, and with Chu Bing.
"Sister Xue, you guys..."
"Don't come over!"
Su Yun slowly approached, but a girl in a pink dress and long socks stepped in front of Qin Xue first.
"She's mine tonight. You can't disturb us." The graceful girl spread her snow-white arms to block the way, separating Su Yun from Qin Xue.
"?" Su Yun immediately frowned. It seemed the dream she had was not a dream. Qin Xue had indeed promised something.
"Sister Xue, what is this?" she asked, looking at the person behind Chu Bing in confusion.
The usually strong Qin Xue was now avoiding her gaze, as if she had done something wrong. "Little sister Yun, this is all for Yuanyuan."
"?? " Su Yun suddenly felt like green grass was about to grow on her white hair.
What kind of expression, what kind of statement is that!
Don't say things that can be misunderstood.
"Really, don't make such a joke." Su Yun approached, feeling indifferent.
"No, you can't disturb us!" Unexpectedly, Chu Bing lunged forward and pushed Su Yun hard against a tree.
With that strength, an ordinary person would definitely have a backache now.
"Ugh..."
Qin Xue became anxious and quickly grabbed Chu Bing. "Little Bingbing, we agreed not to hurt little sister Yun. Why are you still so violent?"
"?" Chu Bing looked at Qin Xue, not understanding.
Chu Bing used to threaten with a knife. Now that she was pushing with her hands instead of a knife, it was indeed much lighter.
Her eyes were cold. After pushing Su Yun, she turned and walked away. "I don't care about her."
"Hmm?" Qin Xue frowned slightly.
"I just want you to come out for a walk with me, hug me, and then kiss me."
"Then I'll agree to go and save that girl."
"..."
Su Yun leaned against the tree. After the tsunami yesterday, she was obviously not in a good condition now. Plus, she hadn't drunk any blood today, so she was even worse.
Being pushed like that really hurt a little and made her dizzy.
Seeing Qin Xue wanting to approach her but being pulled away by that girl, Su Yun felt very uncomfortable.
