The next morning, Si Yuan stood silently by Ye Mengyun’s bedside, looking at the person sleeping soundly in bed, wondering what kind of environment this person had grown up in.
This person rescuing her from those thugs could be considered helping someone in need, but bringing a stranger home and sharing a room with them without any suspicion seemed a bit too naive.
Si Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Get up and have breakfast.” She was used to going to bed late and waking up early; no matter how late she slept, she would still get up at the same time the next day. After washing and drying the clothes, thinking of the partially disabled person in the bedroom, she silently went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her.
Ye Mengyun was sleeping soundly, and Si Yuan’s soft calls couldn’t wake her at all. Finally, even the system couldn’t stand it anymore.
Ding!!!
A sound sharper and more piercing than an alarm clock suddenly rang in Ye Mengyun’s brain, startling her awake. She instinctively covered her ears, but it had no effect.
“System, what’s wrong with you? I didn’t sleep until 3 AM yesterday because of my goal! If you keep bothering me like this, I’m going to throw a tantrum!”
“I’m doing this for your own good.” 0348’s calm tone revealed no trace of guilt.
“For my own good?” Ye Mengyun gritted her teeth before opening her eyes. She immediately saw Si Yuan standing by the bed. Si Yuan had already changed her clothes and looked like she had been up for a long time.
Si Yuan assumed Ye Mengyun had covered her ears because she had disturbed her, and her heart sank. “Do you want breakfast?”
“Breakfast?” Ye Mengyun repeated the word before closing her eyes again and sinking into the pillow. She was still very sleepy, and her muddled mind had completely forgotten that she hadn’t answered Si Yuan’s question.
Just as the system was considering whether to set another alarm for Ye Mengyun, her phone, which was next to her pillow, rang first.
Although the phone’s sound wasn’t as loud as the system’s alarm, it still managed to pull the half-asleep Ye Mengyun back to reality.
Ye Mengyun reluctantly reached for her phone, answered it, pressed the speakerphone button, and then buried her head in the pillow again. ”
So sleepy!
“Xue, what do you want for breakfast today?” Zhou Zixuan’s gentle, magnetic voice came through the phone as soon as it connected.
Si Yuan, who had been patiently standing beside her, felt she had been presumptuous when she heard Ye Mengyun had breakfast brought to her. She turned and walked towards the door with a cold face. “Just throw away the extra.”
” Hearing the word “breakfast,” Ye Mengyun suddenly opened her eyes, remembering that Si Yuan had called her to eat breakfast. Seeing Si Yuan about to leave the room, Ye Mengyun decisively sat up and said, “No need, I’ll eat at home!” She quickly hung up and called to Si Yuan, “Didn’t you call me for breakfast? Aren’t you going to help me downstairs? My foot isn’t healed yet!”
Her words successfully made Si Yuan stop in her tracks and turn back.
At this moment, the person on the bed was already sitting up with one foot on the floor. Her pajamas were loose-fitting, and with this movement, a large expanse of her chest was exposed, and the person was completely unaware.
Si Yuan slightly shifted her gaze and said, “Change your clothes first. I’ll get you whatever you want to wear.”
Seeing Si Yuan look away, Ye Mengyun glanced down at her loose collar, casually pulled it up a little, and nodded, “Right, that way I won’t have to come up to change later.”
Ye Mengyun searched her memory and realized that Lu Xue’s clothes were all very formal business attire and evening gowns, none of which were her style. She lost interest in choosing clothes and casually said, “Just grab me anything, I won’t pick.”
Si Yuan went to the dressing room and frowned slightly at the rows of clothes.
It wasn’t because there were too many clothes to choose from, but because she felt none of them suited the woman outside.
However, this was just a fleeting thought.
Soon, Si Yuan came out of the dressing room with a dark blue and white striped suit dress, which she thought was barely suitable for the heartless woman outside.
Ye Mengyun was slightly satisfied to see the less rigid clothes in Si Yuan’s hands. She had just been seriously considering this body’s clothing preferences while Si Yuan went inside to find her some clothes, and found them to be terrifyingly inflexible.
Sure enough, all the preferences of perverted people are strange and eccentric.
Before Si Yuan even brought the clothes to the bedside, Ye Mengyun had already started taking off her robe. With a tug and a pull, her upper body was instantly exposed to Si Yuan.
Si Yuan tried to avoid looking directly at her, placed the clothes on the bed, and then turned her back.
Only after Ye Mengyun finished undressing did she realize she wasn’t wearing any underwear. Looking at her suit skirt, she said, “I didn’t even bring my underwear.”
Si Yuan decisively and silently went back to the dressing room.
“Aren’t you ashamed of always taking your clothes off in front of others like this?” 0348 suddenly said.
“Shy? What’s there to be shy about? We’re both women. Besides, this is a strategy. Only by being honest with each other can we get closer. That’s how it was when I was in school. We’d shower together, see each other’s bodies, and become friends. I’m working hard to build our friendship!” Ye Mengyun smiled as she looked towards the dressing room, completely oblivious to the problem with what she was doing. She even added smugly, “System, I’ve noticed that Si Yuan seems a bit embarrassed to see me naked~”
0348 felt that her values might be somewhat different from this woman’s, and perhaps she needed to go to the human world for a refresher.
“Thank you!” When Si Yuan returned with the underwear, Ye Mengyun casually said, “My name is Lu Xue, like snow on land. What’s your name?” She then flashed her her most genuine smile.
Although she knew her target’s name, exchanging names was a way to strengthen their friendship.
She had thought of this self-introduction yesterday, but unfortunately, she had fallen asleep. However, getting to know each other now wouldn’t affect the effect.
Si Yuan knew she and this person were from different worlds, so she didn’t want to get too involved. She stayed to repay the favor from the previous night, because she had to admit that if this person hadn’t appeared, her life might have fallen into an even deeper abyss.
Just as Si Yuan was about to refuse to reveal her name, the other person suddenly gave her the same smile as the previous night, and her heart inexplicably softened. “Si Yuan, Si as in ‘lawyer,’ Yuan as in ‘socialite.'”
“A very nice name, it suits you perfectly!” Ye Mengyun praised sincerely, while also flattering her.
At this moment, Si Yuan had returned to the bedside. When Ye Mengyun took the underwear Si Yuan handed her, her gaze swept over the top of Si Yuan’s head, and she suddenly paused, then blinked in disbelief.
She seemed… she seemed to have seen the word “Friendship” light up? But because it quickly went dark, she wasn’t sure.
“System, system, did the two ‘Friendship’ characters above Si Yuan’s head just light up? Did you see it?”
“Yes.” 0348 was also somewhat surprised, her opinion of Ye Mengyun suddenly changing.
Ye Mengyun wasn’t the most suitable candidate in its eyes, but it couldn’t find anyone else and time was of the essence, so it chose her as a compromise.
Perhaps girls of the same age are more likely to understand people of the same age?
“System, I think I just complimented the target, right?” Ye Mengyun felt she might have discovered a tiny trick to boost her favorability with Si Yuan, and since the friendship seal had loosened, it would be much easier to unleash it.
Ye Mengyun, still dressed, casually said, “Yuanyuan, you’re so pretty, you should smile more.” As she spoke, she subtly glanced at the top of Si Yuan’s head.
Sure enough, the word “friendship” flashed briefly after she finished speaking, but it didn’t last long.
Si Yuan had fully grasped this woman’s natural extroversion, and this cloying nickname coming from her mouth was somewhat acceptable.
Ye Mengyun smiled smugly, then hopped off the bed on one foot, saying, “I’m ready, I’ll go find some shoes.”
She wanted to find the shoes herself, low-heeled, preferably flat.
She was limping, and she couldn’t imagine the discomfort of jumping in any slightly high shoes.
Si Yuan let her be, but still helped her up.
In the walk-in closet, rows of black shoes dazzled Ye Mengyun, who was thankful that there were indeed flats among them. However, as she reached for one, a clever idea suddenly flashed into her mind. Her hand, which was about to reach for the flats, slightly veered, and she picked up a pair of heels about five centimeters high.
Si Yuan had assumed Ye Mengyun would take the flats, but she hadn’t expected her to choose the pair below them. Si Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, “Your foot is injured; you shouldn’t wear heels.”
Ye Mengyun instantly looked at Si Yuan with a dramatic expression, feigning grievance, “I used to wear ten-centimeter heels. It’s embarrassing to go to work without them.” She winked at Si Yuan, adding, “Besides, I have you, don’t I?”
She wanted to give Si Yuan a reason to take care of her. Si Yuan already had feelings for her; if they spent more time together, she might just win her over as a friend!
But Ye Mengyun also knew she couldn’t be too impulsive.
She wanted Si Yuan to feel her sincerity, so without Si Yuan saying anything more, Ye Mengyun acted like a good girl, putting the high heels she had just picked up back on the shelf. Then she took the pair on the right, which was less than three centimeters high, and said, “It can’t be any lower.” After saying that, she pulled over a stool and put the shoes on her non-crippled foot, leaving the other one untouched.
“Okay, you can go down now.”
Ye Mengyun had just finished speaking when Si Yuan picked her up in the exact same way as yesterday.
Ye Mengyun was already used to Si Yuan’s simple and rough way of handling things, and naturally reached out to hug her neck and said, “Yuanyuan, you’re a girl, and a pretty girl at that. Don’t show off your strength too much, or you’ll scare away the boys who like you.”
She had already planned to arrange for Zhou Zixuan to meet her, and was a little worried that Si Yuan’s overly strong personality might put pressure on the boy.
“No need.” Si Yuan steadily walked down the stairs, her calm tone making Ye Mengyun afraid that she had lost interest in humans because of too much suffering.
“System, does she mean she doesn’t need to pretend to be weak or she doesn’t need boys?” Ye Mengyun anxiously bothered the system.
“When did you become so sentimental?” 0348’s reply was somewhat perfunctory.
“Isn’t this a matter of life and death for me? I always have to care a little.” Although Ye Mengyun said this, she instantly felt relieved.
After all, the “true fragrance” law is everywhere.
Ye Mengyun thought of Zhou Zixuan, who would pick her up from work every night, and suddenly felt that today would be the day for the two lovers to meet, and their love should be cultivated slowly.
Meeting sooner would allow her to conquer both love and friendship at the same time. She would be responsible for delivering a deluxe gift at the last moment, and then leave this world, keeping her achievements hidden.
Thinking that the mission in this world might be completed soon, Ye Mengyun couldn’t help but smile foolishly.
Si Yuan noticed the inexplicable smile on Ye Mengyun’s face and subconsciously asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Ye Mengyun winked at her and said, “Have you ever heard a saying? Love is like a tornado~”
Si Yuan suddenly paused, her expression becoming somewhat strange.
