“But…”
“Hold on.” Before Ye Li could finish, Xia Ling interrupted her.
“Since the boss says so, I naturally won’t keep arguing with Sister Ye Li,” Bai Ye said.
“But there’s something I’m not sure I should say. It seems like Sister Ye Li was the one who started arguing with me.”
Bai Muxue: …
This isn’t “not sure whether to say it”. She said everything she could and couldn’t say.
Bai Muxue had to admit that when it came to stirring the pot, Bai Ye was absolutely a professional.
She felt the Association might have misunderstood Bai Ye’s title. At least, Bai Muxue personally thought Bai Ye shouldn’t be called the Eternal Night Witch. “Firebrand Witch” would suit her better.
“You should say less too.” Xia Ling turned to look at Bai Ye.
Xia Ling could more or less understand Ye Li. She also felt a bit uncomfortable facing Bai Ye.
On top of that, Bai Ye really knew how to stir things up.
“Eh, fine, fine.” Bai Ye actually shut up.
Mainly because she couldn’t win a fight.
If she could, Bai Ye wouldn’t still be here arguing with Ye Li and Xia Ling. She would have shown off her power, knocked the two of them into their precious side-story records, and then swaggered off.
But if a fight broke out now, Bai Muxue was hard to say, but she, Bai Ye, would definitely be the one knocked into a side-story record, and then she’d be singing the prison blues.
In the end, she just didn’t have the strength.
“Also… never mind. Let me talk to Ye Li alone about this. You two wait here for a bit.”
“Mm hm.” Bai Muxue nodded.
Xia Ling pulled Ye Li up to the third floor of the café, which was usually off-limits to outsiders. It was Xia Ling’s residence.
“Sister Ling, why did you bring me here?” Ye Li, who had been dragged along the whole way, was confused.
“Mm… because what I’m about to say is hard to say in public, so I brought you into a private space to chat,” Xia Ling replied.
“Hard to say? Could it be… that kind of thing?” Ye Li wasn’t a seasoned veteran, but she knew a lot about certain things.
At least, she had six terabytes of study materials on her phone.
Don’t misunderstand, okay? They were really just study materials, nothing else.
So when she heard Xia Ling’s words, she realized what it meant, and her face flushed slightly.
“Mm.” Xia Ling didn’t deny Ye Li’s inference. “Xiao Xue and her probably aren’t in that kind of relationship. You’re overthinking it, Xiao Li.”
“Is that so? That’s a relief…” Ye Li patted her chest and let out a long breath, feeling fortunate.
She didn’t know where this feeling of relief came from.
It must just be because her friend hadn’t been tricked away by a bad woman, right?
It had to be that!
“As for that Bai Ye… Xiao Li, have you noticed that Bai Ye makes you feel uncomfortable?” Xia Ling asked again.
“Yes!” Ye Li nodded heavily. “Sister Ling, you feel it too?”
“Mm,” Xia Ling said. “I think there’s something off about this Bai Ye… I don’t know why.”
“That person keeps picking fights in everything she says. Who could ever like her? I don’t know what sweet talk she used to wrap Xiao Xue around her finger.”
Ye Li put her hands on her hips, quite displeased.
Whenever she thought of that Bai Ye, Ye Li wished she could sew her mouth shut.
Meanwhile, on the first floor.
Bai Ye just sneezed.
“I feel like someone is secretly talking about me,” Bai Ye said.
“Are you sure you didn’t catch a cold?” Bai Muxue turned her head to look at Bai Ye.
“I’m a witch. How could a witch catch a cold? Have you ever heard of a witch getting a cold?” Bai Ye shot back.
“I don’t think I have…” Bai Muxue scratched her head.
After a moment of silence, Bai Ye started a new topic.
“What do you think those two went to talk about?” Bai Ye asked.
“How would I know?” Bai Muxue lay on the table, resting her head on her two slender, fair arms.
“Maybe they’re talking behind my back? Otherwise, how do you explain my sneeze just now?”
“I think that’s even less likely than you catching a cold…” Bai Muxue remarked. “And can’t you tone it down a bit? That mouth of yours is a little too sharp, isn’t it?”
“Is it? I don’t think so?” Bai Ye asked uncertainly.
“Do you want to see how angry Ye Li got? Anyway, I’m begging you to talk a bit more normally later.”
“She’s your friend, but I’m the one by your side. Reasonably, you should side with me a little more.” Bai Ye leaned close to Bai Muxue’s ear.
Luckily, no one in the café noticed this scene. Otherwise, someone might have lost their phone again.
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t make it sound like we’re married. Aren’t you misleading people?”
Just as Bai Ye was about to say more, she saw Xia Ling leading Ye Li back down.
“Yo, you’re back.” Bai Ye greeted them. “I wonder what you two were discussing? I’d like to know a bit too.”
“This is a little secret between us. Sister Bai Ye, it’s better if you don’t know.” Ye Li replied.
“What secret could I not…”
Before Bai Ye could finish, Bai Muxue quietly nudged her leg under the table.
“Fine, since it’s your secret, I won’t ask.” Bai Ye changed her tune.
Ding dong.
Ye Li’s phone suddenly dinged.
“Wait, let me check a message.” Ye Li took out her phone and looked at it.
“Quick, quick, go see who she’s chatting with!” Bai Ye communicated with Bai Muxue telepathically.
“I’m now considering changing your nickname from Firebrand Witch to Fun Witch… Can’t you be serious for once?”
“If you say that, then next time you’re about to create side-story material, I won’t help you,” Bai Ye replied.
“Sis, I was wrong, sis.” Bai Muxue immediately chickened out.
“That’s more like it. Now go see what she’s chatting about.” Bai Ye continued to urge Bai Muxue.
“Fine, fine…” Bai Muxue took a sneak peek at Ye Li’s phone screen without being noticed.
However, Bai Muxue’s little move didn’t escape Xia Ling’s eyes.
Bai Muxue summed up the chat between Ye Li and the other person. Ye Li had invited another classmate to go to a comic convention, but the other person had something to do today, so she couldn’t go.
“That’s really bad news.” Ye Li turned off her phone.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Ling also put down her phone and asked.
“I had invited a classmate to the comic convention. She agreed just fine earlier, but she just said she has plans tonight, so she can’t come. Sigh…”
As she said this, Ye Li cupped her face in her hands, looking a bit wistful.
“So you’re lonely because no one’s accompanying you,” Xia Ling teased.
“That’s not it!” Ye Li instinctively retorted.
“Alright, alright, it’s not it.” Xia Ling waved her hand. “But if you want someone to accompany you, Xiao Xue would be a great choice, wouldn’t she?”
Bai Muxue: ?
Why did this have to involve her?
