Ye’ s mansion
Venus stroke her chin and pondered for a while. She then picked up a pencil to trace on a piece of white paper. The room was quiet and there was only the ‘rustling’ sound that happened when the pencil made contact with the paper.
Suddenly…
“Oh my God!!!”
As she looked up, an enlarged face instantly appeared in front of her, scaring Venus to scream.
“Shh... be quiet. It’s me.” A familiar voice came.
When Venus came back to her sense, she saw Xiaozi’ s handsome face and purple pupils.
Looking at him, Venus gritted her teeth in anger and said loudly, “Why didn’t you make any sound when you appeared? You almost scared me to death!”
“Oh,” Xiaozi stroked her chin, with her purple eyes glowing, and said faintly, “If you were scared to death, wouldn’t we be the same kind…”
Venus recalled what he had said about his own death experience and immediately looked at him suspiciously. Her tone was rather helpless, “I wouldn’t die in this way... It’s too humiliating...”
Xiaozi curled his lips, ignoring her last sentence and said, “How good I am like this. I can fly when I want, come and go when I want and I won’t get sick, or starve.”
Venus was speechless, “But you can’t cry or laugh. What’s the joy of this kind of life?”
“How do you know I won’t cry or laugh?” To make her believe, he made a face uglier that crying.
Venus didn’t know what to say, “Xiaozi, guncu (a Chinese cyberword, which means ‘fuck off’).”
“What is ‘guncu’?” Xiaozi asked curiously.
Venus cleared her throat and said in a serious way, “You lie on the ground, dragging your legs with your arms, and move forward in a circle!”
Xiaozi nodded and said faintly, “Too bad, I can’t go into the earth...”
There seemed to be a generation gap between Xiaozi and her…
How awkward…
Just at this moment, Uncle Wang’s voice was sounded outside the door, “Mrs. Ye, Miss Qiao is here to see you.”
Venus immediately raised her head, signaling Xiaozi to quickly disappear and spoke, “Got it. I’ll leave.”
By the time she finished her words, he had already disappeared.
What a strange man. Coming and going without any notice…
She wanted to live a life that would make all women jealous!
She didn’t want to talk nonsense with her and she looked at her with a calm look, with tone full of curiosity, “Venus, you said last time that you lost your draft. How could you lose it? What the hell was going on? Where did you leave it?”
Venus looked stunned, not understanding why she brought this up, and didn’t know how to answer.
Faced with her silence, Xinyou turned cold and said, deflated, “Venus, do you see me as a good friend or not? I thought you said that good friends should be honest to each other!”
How could she tell this to her?
The fact was that she was sold to others by her ex and she lost her virginity. She was too nervous that she accidentally left her design in the hotel.
She would never be able to tell this!
Venus pondered a while and under her persistent gaze, she said somewhat embarrassedly, “I went for coffee a while ago. Maybe I left it there.”
“Oh, well…” Xinyou said slowly.
After seeing her off, Venus went to the third floor to look for Xiaozi, but she received a call from the school, asking her to come immediately.
