‘It seems… things are looking a bit bad…’
Su Ling looked at the pink-haired girl who had suddenly appeared and shrank her neck.
The girl’s pink hair was tied into two playful bun-style pigtails, and the ends of her hair were slightly curled, radiating energy.
She was dressed in a crisp JK uniform, her pleated skirt swaying gently with her movements.
Paired with a set of white thigh-high socks and bright-colored sneakers, every step she took had a youthful bounce to it.
Her eyes were curved like crescents.
Although her face was full of anger right now, she gave off the feeling of a kitten acting cute.
‘So cute,’ Su Ling couldn’t help but think.
However, when the pink-haired girl felt Su Ling’s gaze, the fire in her heart grew even stronger.
‘By the Original, she’s been provoking me this whole time!’
‘Is being pretty that big of a deal?!’
‘She’s only 100 million times prettier than me… that’s all.’
‘Ugh, why do I suddenly want to cry?’
The moment she had seen Su Ling, she had been stunned.
For such a beautiful Witch, it seemed like… common sense for Ji Lingyuan to break up with her?
“Hua Feihua, we’ve already broken up. Please stop disturbing my life, okay?”
Ji Lingyuan was very calm, even picking up her teacup to take a sip.
But as soon as Hua Feihua heard those words, her face turned red with rage.
With teary eyes, she slapped the teacup out of Ji Lingyuan’s hand.
The crisp sound of shattering porcelain immediately drew the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
Seeing that there was gossip to be had, the surrounding Witches immediately gathered around.
Getting a show while eating — they were definitely coming out ahead today.
“10 years! Ji Lingyuan, you’re brushing off 10 years of feelings with just one sentence?”
Hua Feihua’s heart was full of bitterness.
She and Ji Lingyuan were childhood friends who had even undergone Hatching in the same hospital.
When they hatched, the first person they saw wasn’t their mother, but each other.
10 years ago, they had officialized their relationship and became a couple that everyone envied.
But 1 week ago, Ji Lingyuan suddenly proposed a breakup and then vanished without a trace.
She had been frantically searching for her for the past 1 week just to ask her why.
It wasn’t until today, when her friend sent her a message saying she had seen Ji Lingyuan, that she rushed over in a hurry — only to see the scene of Ji Lingyuan and Su Ling having lunch together.
Burning with jealousy, Hua Feihua felt her sanity slipping away.
“Wow!”
Hearing that the two had been dating for 10 years, the surrounding Witches let out a collective gasp. Even Su Ling looked amazed.
At the same time, everyone’s eyes fell on Ji Lingyuan.
To break up after 10 years just like that — she was way too heartless.
However, Ji Lingyuan remained completely composed.
Her cold, beautiful face looked toward Hua Feihua with a complicated gaze.
“Do you really want to know the reason?”
‘Could there be some hidden difficulty?’
With that one sentence, everyone pricked up their ears.
“Isn’t it because of her?”
Hua Feihua choked out, pointing at Su Ling, who was busy watching the drama unfold.
Su Ling looked blank.
‘Meow meow meow?’
‘I’m just a Fuli Ji, what does this have to do with me?’
‘It’s not like Ji Lingyuan fell for me over time and went back to break up with Hua Feihua, right?’
‘Damn, even novels wouldn’t dare write it like that!’
“Heh, Hua Feihua, do you really not know, or are you just pretending?” Ji Lingyuan sneered.
“10 YEARS! 10 YEARS!”
“YOU NEVER LET ME TOUCH YOU EVEN ONCE!”
“DO YOU KNOW HOW I LIVED THROUGH THOSE 10 YEARS?”
“Every time I wanted to get intimate, you refused with the excuse that we weren’t married yet.”
“Hahaha, 10 years! I haven’t even been inside your bedroom!”
Ji Lingyuan’s face was full of resentment, and the aura of gloom around her was almost tangible.
When the onlookers heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
This shocking reversal was so sudden they couldn’t even react.
“We weren’t married yet… isn’t that kind of thing supposed to happen only after marriage?”
Hua Feihua’s face was flushed red.
Ji Lingyuan laughed out of pure frustration.
The Witches watching the drama also looked at her with looks of extreme sympathy.
‘Tsk, how pitiful.’
What was the difference between this and being a widow for 10 years?
“Then what was the point of us dating?”
“Did you stay with me just for that kind of thing?”
Hua Feihua bit her lip hard, looking at Ji Lingyuan in disbelief.
Ji Lingyuan felt like she was going crazy.
‘Ahhh!’
‘If I’m dating you but I can’t even get close to you, then what’s the point?!’
Ji Lingyuan’s emotional defense was completely shattered by Hua Feihua’s words.
She stood up abruptly and forcefully pulled the still-watching Su Ling away, leaving Hua Feihua standing there alone.
“Ji Lingyuan!”
Seeing this, Hua Feihua stomped her feet in anger.
“10 years! You clearly could have endured a bit longer! I already promised you we’d get married 1 month later, so why couldn’t you wait for me!”
Hua Feihua’s eyes were rimmed with red.
She truly couldn’t understand why, after 10 years of companionship, Ji Lingyuan would leave her at the very last moment.
Ji Lingyuan didn’t stop her pace while holding Su Ling’s hand.
“St-stop! Wh-where are you taking her!”
Seeing Ji Lingyuan’s determined attitude, Hua Feihua finally panicked.
At that moment, Ji Lingyuan finally reacted.
She turned her head, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.
“Home, of course.”
After saying that, she pulled Su Ling’s hand and left the place without looking back.
‘Hey, wait, I haven’t finished the food yet.’
Su Ling looked at the table full of delicacies, her heart bleeding.
She knew what she was about to face.
If she didn’t replenish some energy, she doubted she would even have the strength to walk tonight.
The surrounding Witches heard this and showed the smiles of Veteran Drivers. Only Hua Feihua remained on the spot, looking dazed.
“Home? For what?”
—
“Um, that…”
After walking out of the restaurant, Su Ling looked at Ji Lingyuan and spoke up timidly.
Hearing the sound, Ji Lingyuan also stopped.
“Phew, sorry you had to see that joke,” Ji Lingyuan said, slowly exhaling a breath of murky air with a hint of apology.
“It’s fine… I just wanted to ask, was it because of me…”
“It has nothing to do with you. When we first met 1 week ago, she and I had already broken up.”
Ji Lingyuan shook her head.
Su Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
‘That’s good, that’s good.’
If she really had destroyed the relationship of this couple, her conscience would have really been troubled.
Wait!
Su Ling suddenly noticed a key point.
If Ji Lingyuan wasn’t lying just now and she hadn’t been intimate with Hua Feihua in 10 years, then that meant Ji Lingyuan was still a… virgin 1 week ago?
Her first time… was given to her? To someone like her?
Su Ling’s expression suddenly turned strange.
Ji Lingyuan seemed to see Su Ling’s thoughts and slowly turned her head away.
Although her profile showed no expression, her slightly reddened ear tips betrayed her inner feelings.
“A Witch… doesn’t care about those things…” she explained in a low voice.
1 week ago, she had broken up with Hua Feihua and was in a state of turmoil.
It just so happened that one of her bad friends gave her a suggestion: go play in the Lower City.
The security in the Upper City was very strict; if you were caught playing around, you’d be sent straight to a detention center.
But the Lower City was different.
In fact, many people from the Upper City would go to the Lower City for looting and extracting.
After all, the security in the Lower City was practically nonexistent, and there was a high probability of striking red — it was simply a heaven for Veteran Drivers from the Upper City.
Under the coaxing of that friend, Ji Lingyuan went to the Lower City.
She hadn’t expected that on her first try, she would strike a legendary red drop like Su Ling.
After holding it in for over 10 years, she had completely fallen all at once.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sought out Su Ling again after only 1 week.
Looking at this alpha beauty who was now showing a hint of a young girl’s shyness, Su Ling’s heart skipped a beat.
‘This gap moe is practically cheating!’
“It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
Ji Lingyuan checked the time and then took out a Space Anchor.
“Go where?”
Su Ling didn’t react for a moment and asked subconsciously.
“Home, of course.”
Ji Lingyuan glanced at her and licked her moist lips.
“You are my girlfriend today.”
“Don’t even think about escaping your duties as a girlfriend… hee-hee.”
