Volume 3 Chapter 13: Joy and Anger Without Constancy

  The car screeched to a halt not far from the Xia family's place.

  Enqi was hanging clothes on the balcony when she heard a noise, looked out and saw Ximen's car. How did he know my address? This broken house, how can... No way, I have to block him outside!

  Enqi hastily dropped her clothes and rushed downstairs. At the gate of the courtyard, she almost bumped into Xiangyue who was running in.

  "Sister, are you going out?"

  En Qi waved his hand, didn't have time to say more to Xun Yue, rushed out of the door and took a look, except for a dim light and a few pedestrians, there was nothing in the alley.

  How strange! I clearly saw a car coming just now, how did it silently disappear? Right, ask Xinyue, she just came back from outside, she must have seen it too!

  Enqi climbed up the stairs with a "thud, thud, thud" sound. As soon as he entered the house, he shouted: "Xinyue, did you just see a silver sedan?"

  "Of course I saw it, this sedan!"

  "Is it? Why did it suddenly disappear again?" En Qi was puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

  "As soon as I got off the car, he drove away!" Xinyue said honestly.

  "What? Is it the car that sent you back? So, it's not Ximen Yan... Hehe, tell your sister honestly, is it that little brat with the surname Yun who sent you back?"

  "It's not him! It's... " Xiang Yue suddenly remembered the secret that Xi Men Ge had asked her to keep, and quickly stopped talking.

  "Who is it? Speak up quickly, sister will help you think about it! At your age, you don't understand anything, be careful to be deceived by others!" Enqi said, and then rushed over to press down Xiangyue's shoulder, forcing her to speak.

  "Yes, yes, we're classmates! I'm just hitching a ride, that's all..."

  "What's with that guy? Could it be that my pure and innocent little sister is also going to become a flower girl?" En Qi hugged Xing Yue, giggling as she leaned her head on her shoulder.

  Xīn Yuè's cheeks were tickled by ēn Qí's soft curly hair, feeling the warm air blown from her sister's mouth and the delicate curves, making Xīn Yuè blush. She suddenly pushed away ēn Qí, panting and saying: "Who is the flower girl now? Can't even get a ride? I won't talk to you! I'm going to see my little rabbit!"

  "Hey, never mind, just hurry up and finish your homework!" En Qi shouted from behind.

  Xīnyuè ran out of the room like a gust of wind and searched the entire courtyard for that divine rabbit.

  "Bingtong! Bingtong! Xiaoyan......" Xinyue made up her mind to treat that rabbit well, even if she couldn't turn back into a human in the future. Alas, they were both drifters at the end of the world anyway!

  "Second sister, you're back? I'm Bingtong..."

  Xia Yan's eyes darted back and forth as he muttered to himself. Jing Yue hastily asked, "Xia Yan, what's wrong? Where's Bing Tong?"

  "Bingtong, I...I lent it to Shuang'er!" Xiaoyan scratched the back of her head, looking a bit embarrassed.

  "We didn't agree not to tell others? Not even Big Sister and Dad know about Bingtong, you......" Xinyue was getting a bit angry.

  "Ke Duoer isn't someone else! She's my girlfriend!" Xia Yan said seriously.

  "What? You little brat, how old are you and you already have a girlfriend?" Xīnyuè didn't find it amusing.

  "Second sister, let Shuang'er play for a bit, okay? Ah? You don't know, Bingtong has taken a liking to Shuang'er!"

  "Really? Did Bingtong talk to her?"

  "Alright, alright! Ice Glare is willing to follow Double Child!"

  "I don't believe it! Why did Ice Eyes have to go with her? Is their family's food really that much better?"

  "No! Shuang'er said that her uncle's family has a dog named Silver Hoof, which is also very cute! So Bingtong wants to go see that dog..."

  "Fine! Let it be then!" Xinyue turned around and walked upstairs.

  I think I heard Grandpa tell the story of Silver Hoof before. If Silver Hoof really appears, then Bingtong might find the door to another space through it and restoring energy is just around the corner...

  The morning breeze lifted the beautiful girl's skirt and long hair, her heart was as happy as a small bird's joy, walking while unable to help but think of smiling.

  That Qingchi guy, one moment he's being tough on himself, the next... it turns out there was a reason! Since he didn't want to mention the 'exchange' matter, I won't bring it up again. Once Bingtong recovers his abilities, haha...

  "Xīn yuè, xīn yuè!"

  Translation: "Delightful, delightful!"

  Hearing someone calling from the front, Xiangyue raised her head to take a look and found that it was Yongji and Yudu waiting at the fork in the road. Xiangyue hurriedly ran towards them.

  Yu Duo scolded: "What are you smiling at? No one is talking to you!"

  "Am I laughing? How would I know?"

  "Yesterday I saw that you didn't look well, and now the clouds have parted to reveal the sun so quickly?" Yongji said with a smile.

  "Oh, I see! So it was Yin Qingchi who confessed his love to you? Hehe... " Yu Duo laughed and bent her waist.

  "Nonsense! That's not true at all!" Xīnyuè denied it with her mouth, but in fact, she also felt that Qingchi was a bit special to her yesterday...

  Yongji didn't smile, she asked seriously: "Xinyue, what's the relationship between you and Yin Qingchi? It feels a bit mysterious... Are you secretly in love with each other?"

  "Cough, I'm not clear about this issue either. By the way, Yuduo, how's your boyfriend doing? I asked you to ask him about that girl, did you?" Xinyue quickly changed the subject.

  "Oh, he said that girl is his sister, and he's forced to accompany her shopping, what a good brother...". Yu Duo had a silly look on her face.

  A girl who falls in love is blind... Pitiful, such a vulgar lie has to be believed...

  "Impossible! The appearance is so different! You're kidding me!"

  "It's not like we're biological siblings, of course! " Yu Duo rolled her eyes disdainfully and continued, "By the way, Yongji, you must have some extra money, right? Lend me some!"

  "Borrowing money is possible, but first let's talk about why you need to borrow it." Yōng Jī was a rather calculating girl who spoke and acted with relative rationality.

  Xin Yue also found it strange. Although Yu Duo Jia's family was not very wealthy, they were still able to make ends meet. It shouldn't be that they couldn't even afford the tuition fees?

  "Hehe, to be honest, the book fees that are due today have already been spent by me! And, and I've already asked my parents for money several times this month..."

  "Why?" exclaimed Huan Yue and Yong Ji in unison.

  "Hehe, because I'm in a relationship!" Yu Duo put on an air of superiority and said: "You guys don't know, being in a relationship requires spending money!"

  "Aren't you the one who said you have a lot of private money? Why are you borrowing from Rong Xi?" Xinyue said bluntly.

  "That's also almost spent... Ah, come on, friends forever, are you going to lend it or not?"

  "This is going to be a bottomless pit! Let me think..."

  "Didn't you give the money to that boyfriend of yours? I knew that guy was up to no good!" Xinyue became even more convinced of her premonition.

  "Hmph, if you don't want to lend it then forget it! Friends aren't just one or two!" Yu Duo was somewhat angry.

  "We're doing this for your own good! We're afraid you'll be cheated by others!" Xinyue said with a bitter tone.

  "Yes, 'moving in' is not equal to 'helping out'! Money isn't the issue, it's that boyfriend of yours..."

  "Whatever! Stop making excuses! Do you think I'm broke? Fine, I just won't buy those new shoes..."

  "Stubborn! Borrow it then, you'll regret it later!" Yōko and Kaori exchanged a helpless glance.

  At this time, Qingchi hastily walked past in front of the three girls.

  "Cough, Xinyue, aren't you going to go say hello?" Yu Duo raised an eyebrow and nudged Xinyue forward.

  Xin Yue's face was completely red, she wanted to call out to Qing Chi but couldn't bring herself to do so. Qing Chi seemed to sense something and slowly stopped in his tracks, then coolly turned around to face the girls.

  Xin Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she bashfully lowered her eyelids. What was Qing Chi going to do this time that would be so out of line?

  "I want to ask you something!" Qingchi said.

  "What's wrong?" Xinyue asked shyly.

  But Qingchi didn't respond with courtesy and instead said to Yongji: "Yongji, shall we walk and talk?"

  Yongji looked puzzled and subconsciously glanced at Xinyue before taking two steps forward, saying: "Okay! What's up?"

  Qingchi deliberately put his hand on Yongji's shoulder and walked with her while chatting about something, occasionally bursting into laughter.

  "Alright! You're bullying our Xiangyue again! Next time I'll get Yanming to teach that little brat a lesson!"

  "No! You mustn't mess around!" Xinyue's mind was muddled, what's wrong with Qingchi, how could he turn his back on her again?!
