Chapter 236: Karinshan (1/2)
In the morning, when I opened my eyes, I found it was raining outside. As expected, autumn was a rainy season. The fine droplets of rain hit the windows that flowed down like threads. I could hear soft wind, and the muffled sound of thunder. Going out in such weather wasn’t advised, so it’d be best to stay at home and level up.
I got out of bed, washed up, and found Murong Mingyue heating up milk. ”Morning, sis!”
”Morning!”
”Where is Eve and Beiming?”
Murong Mingyue said, ”Beiming has gotten up and is dressing. You are welcome to look. Eve went downstairs, to buy breakfast she said.”
”Oh?”
I was surprised. ”Didn't we buy an oven and bread? Why go buy breakfast?”
Murong Mingyue glared at me. ”Didn't you say you liked soymilk and fried dough sticks for breakfast? Well, Eve went to buy them. Such a heavy rain, and the vice president of GGS is looking for soymilk...”
”Damn~”
I was speechless and grabbed an umbrella. ”I'm going downstairs to wait for her. Where’d she go?”
”Lindun Road.”
”Oh, I'm going then!”
”Okay!”
I hurriedly left. The streets were filled with office people going to work. The wind and rain were strong. All of Suzhou seemed to be shaking.
I walked along the curb.
Soon, He Yi's beautiful figure appeared in sight. She wore a black dress and a white blouse. and appeared extremely beautiful. She held a bag of fried dough sticks and soymilk and was walking through the rain without an umbrella. Her leather shoes clacked on the path for the blind!
Fuck, what is this?!
I darted forward and used the umbrella to cover her, asking, ”Boss, why don't you have an umbrella...”
He Yi looked up at me with a joyful smile. Her hair was soaked, and even her long eyelashes had droplets on them, like dew. The rain flowed down her cheeks. She pointed at the distant road and said, ”There, the umbrella abandoned me...”
I looked. As expected, there was an upturned umbrella with broken ribs being blown by the wind into the flowerbed.
Evil~~
I looked at He Yi's soaked state and felt my heart clench in pain. I hurriedly reached out to wipe the rain off her face. Looking down, I found that her clothing was also wet, her shirt red and pasted to her body, revealing snowy peaks.
”Cold?”
”I’m fine...” He Yi said and sneezed.
I laughed and reached out to put an arm around her shoulder, saying, ”Walk quickly and take a hot bath or else you’ll catch a cold.”
”Mn!”
He Yi laughed softly, leaning back in my arms, and returning with breakfast.
When we passed by the residence entrance, the guard gave me a stunned gaze. The gaze grew heated, as though it would penetrate through He Yi's clothing. He almost came over to inquire.
The sound of rain, flowing water, and He Yi's bell-like laughter mixed together, creating a symphony, the best I’ve heard in my life. The Ninth Symphony was nothing compared.
……
We returned to the workshop. He Yi went to take a bath. Everyone waited for her before eating breakfast. The fried dough sticks had been wrapped well, and weren't wet from the rain at all. Murong Mingyue said enviously, ”When will Eve be this good to me? I would have no regrets in life...”
He Yi glared at her. ”Eat quickly, you talk too much!”
Beiming Xue was speechless. She shook her head and drank milk.
……
After breakfast, 8 am sharp, we went online!
Swhoosh!
I appeared in the inn of Floating Ice City, and left, my hand already on the Purgatory Sword. I repaired my equipment and checked my bag. I didn't have enough potions and needed a resupply. I looked at my friend list. Lin Yixin was not online, so I had no supplier to ask. I could only buy Rank 6 potions on the plaza. Amazingly enough, the price was even better than Lin Yixin’s. The world truly made no sense. We had such a deep friendship after all.
Beep!
