Hu Ying’s nose was red from crying. She sniffed and, with a nasal tone, said, “Qi Ge, can you accompany me to have a drink?”
“It’s so cold, where do you want to go for a drink?” Mu Qi patted her head and sighed, “Come on, let’s go to my place.”
“Yeah.” Hu Ying followed behind her listlessly.
The two went to the supermarket, bought a few cans of beer, and then got some snacks. Initially, Hu Ying wanted to grab a few more bottles, but Mu Qi gave her a glance and said, “You can’t handle that much.”
Hu Ying: “…”
After going back and forth like this, Hu Ying’s sad emotions lessened a bit. By the time they returned to Mu Qi’s home, she had no interest in drinking anymore. She looked at Mu Qi with resentment, “Qi Ge, you must be doing this on purpose.”
“On purpose for what?” Mu Qi opened a bag of potato chips and placed it in front of her.
Hu Ying took it, put a piece into her mouth, and started munching. While eating, she said, “You kept telling me about the dangers of drinking along the way, and it made me dizzy.”
“Isn’t that good? So you won’t get a headache from drinking, and when you go back, your mom won’t nag at you again.” Mu Qi opened a cup of milk tea, poured in the powdered pearls and everything, then added hot water. The room was immediately filled with the aroma of milk tea, and Hu Ying couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
“I want to drink,” Hu Ying said.
Mu Qi glanced at her sideways, “Don’t you have hands?”
Hu Ying said, “I’m in a bad mood and don’t feel like doing it.”
Mu Qi said, “Then don’t drink.”
Hu Ying: “…”
“Qi Ge, you’ve changed. Ever since you got your little sweetheart, you don’t love me anymore,” Hu Ying said.
Mu Qi: “Hehe.”
Hu Ying couldn’t resist the enticing aroma of the milk tea and took it from Mu Qi herself. By now, the milk tea had cooled a bit, making it ready to be consumed. After taking a sip and chewing on the fruit pearls a couple of times, Hu Ying’s mood improved.
“Speak up, what’s going on?” Mu Qi asked. Although Su Yanxi had already told her, she still wanted to hear the details from Hu Ying.
Hu Ying’s action of sipping the milk tea gradually slowed down. Then, she looked at Mu Qi and said, “Qi Ge, it seems like I’ve fallen for that smelly mushroom.”
Although Mu Qi already knew, hearing it directly from her made Mu Qi slightly stunned. She then furrowed her brows and asked, “How did you end up liking her?”
“I don’t know.” Hu Ying took another sip of the milk tea, lowered her eyelids, and said, “I used to always rely on her, and unconsciously, I fell for her.”
“You don’t have any strange tendencies, do you?” Mu Qi touched her nose and said.
Hu Ying glared at her with annoyance. “Qi Ge, I’m telling you seriously. Can you please close that imaginative mind of yours?”
Mu Qi awkwardly coughed and said, “Go on.”
Hu Ying huffed, “What else is there to say?” After rolling her eyes, she continued, “Forget it, since she already has a girlfriend, I won’t go looking for her in the future.”
Mu Qi patted her shoulder, handed the beer in her hand to her, and asked, “Want to drink?”
Taking the beer, Hu Ying was about to open it when she realized she no longer had the stomach for alcohol. After consuming so much, including a cup of milk tea just now, drinking more would make her sick.
Mu Qi smiled, “If you don’t want to drink, let’s watch a movie then.”
“Sure.” Hu Ying nodded.
So… Mu Qi opened “The Old Corpse Reviver.”
Hu Ying looked at Mu Qi with resentment.
Mu Qi chuckled, “This one is good. After watching it, all your troubles will be forgotten.”
“Hehe, I’ll dream about it tonight.” Hu Ying covered her eyes with her hands, then quickly removed them, glaring at Mu Qi. Then, she peeked through her fingers at the screen.
Seeing her sulky look, Mu Qi didn’t tease her. Both of them focused on the screen, watching the movie seriously.
