The Seventh Cup of Coffee Part 3

Jiang Ying tilted her head and bit her lower lips as she looked at Yun Xian.

Yun Xian asked, “What’s the matter?”

Jiang Ying replied honestly, “I am hesitating.”

“Why are you hesitating?”

In order to make a good impression, she has always held herself back in front of Yun Xian. However, she was seen taking part in such a tough fight tonight, and now she wanted to break a jar.

“Forget it, it’s all like this anyway.” Jiang Ying opened her bag and took out a cigarette box and lighter. She skillfully pulled one out to light. She sandwiched it between her fingers and began to smoke.

The smoke clouding the air had a sweet, fruity aroma.

She tapped the cigarette. She looked at the street and asked Yun Xian, “Are you disappointed in me?”

Yun Xian only asked her, “Why would I be disappointed?”

Jiang Ying put out her finger to list his crimes: “Smoking, swearing, and fighting.”

“It’s just a little unexpected,” Yun Xian replied.

Jiang Ying nodded. He was being tactful in expressing his disappointment.

She knew that Yun Xian had questions he wanted to ask, and fortunately she told him. At this moment, she was upset and really wanted to talk to someone. “That is my high school classmate, and my father is his father’s employee. When I was at school, someone spread a rumor that his father paid for him to enter our school. He did a lot of bad things, and all those things were taken care of by his father with money. Later, I don’t know why, but he insisted that I had spread the rumor. To be honest, although I have heard a little about what he had done, I never said anything about it. But it doesn’t matter. He insisted it was me, so it was useless for me to argue. Then, I became targeted by criticism. I was ostracized and isolated by my classmates. His brain cells were probably used every day to torture me.”

What was once a nightmare from a long time ago could now be said in a few words. Jiang Ying sighed gently, “It was a long time ago, but this sicko didn’t realize the wrongs he committed. He made a bet with his scumbag friends that he could pursue me in a month. I came here today to make it clear to him that he should not bother me again in the future. I lost my temper and got angry, so…”

Jiang Ying muttered regretfully, “If I had known you were there, I definitely would not have acted so impulsively.”

Yun Xian listened silently, and did not comment on her actions. He only told her, “When a girl is alone outside, she should try not to enter a conflict with others.”

Jiang Ying honestly admitted her mistake, “I know. In the future, I will definitely…”

What she was going to say came to an abrupt end because Yun Xian suddenly grabbed her right hand and opened it up.

The man’s warmth and voice were gentle, “If you hit him, then it’s you who will get hurt.”

With the cigarette in her mouth, Jiang Ying looked down at her red palm. There was now a burning pain.

Yun Xian held her hand up and blew softly.

Maybe this man is too decent and modest. This kind of behavior was neither intimate nor frivolous.

How can he be so good? This was the only sentence left in Jiang Ying’s head.

When the wind blew, the cigarette ash flew to her arm. Jiang Ying was burned by it and she came back like she had just woken up from a dream. She took away her hand, turned her head and tried to hide her crimson cheeks. “Well, can you forget what happened today?”

Yun Xian laughed. “I know, I will delete it from my memories.”

Jiang Ying tried to save her own image. “Although this may be the real me, it is definitely not all of me.”

Yun Xian smiled and said nothing.

The pretty girl in front of him wore a red dress that was as charming as a bloody rose. With the little spark between her fingers, her face was submerged in smoke. She was very beautiful today.

Yun Xian was not too clear about what was going through his mind. There were accidents, there was disbelief, there were worries. And there was one thing he was certain of. That scene would be engraved in his mind forever.

Just like Zhu Yin’s Zixia Fairy blink1, Lin Qingxia in Invincible East drinking wine2, it became a classic scene similar to the ones in movies. It made a person feel all sorts of emotions from those scenes..

They were next to a pedestrian street. There was a dazzling array of vendors on both sides, and the smell of various snacks floated through the air.

Jiang Ying didn’t eat anything all night. She smelled the food and suddenly felt hungry.

Yun Xian followed her eyes and saw that it was busy close by. The city lights were brighter than the stars in the skies, so he suggested, “Let’s go walk around.”

Jiang Ying got up and patted her dress. She went down a few steps and realized that Yun Xian did not follow. So, she looked back and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Yun Xian shook her head and followed in her footsteps. “I feel like I’ve forgotten something. Forget it. Let’s go.”



At the western restaurant.

Li Zhicheng was typing frantically:

Where are you?

Where are you?

Where have you been since I went to the bathroom?

Hello? Yunxian?

Moshi moshi?3 Have you been kidnapped by aliens?
