To Our Pure Little Beauty

Chapter 23

I carried a big bag of clothes while walking along the hospital corridor. An enchanting woman came walking towards me. She first shot me a glance, then she nodded her head while smiling at me, “Hello, Lisa.”

I too, nodded while smiling, “Joy, hello.”

To be honest, I recognized her from afar, that strong sinister aura she has, even if she was burnt to her ashes, her aura can still choke me. It’s just that I didn’t dare to greet her first, in case she looked at me without guilt and say to me, “I’m sorry, you are?”

To act acquainted, that is the most embarrassing thing.

Joy wrinkled her nose and smelled, she pointed to the big, black plastic bag that I was holding and blinked her eyes asking, “You killed your boyfriend, and mutilated him?”

I remembered what the nurse said, that the person had a heart attack on a woman’s bed. The woman was most probably Joy, I think her method of murder is of the highest class.

I said, “These are his laundry, the foul smell you smelled is probably mine because I sweated too much.”

She pouted her red lips and whistled, “Virtuous ah.”

I looked down and smiled lightly, modestly expressing that I am indeed more virtuous than most people.

As I was about to leave after exchanging a few words, Joy said, “Can you accompany me for a smoke?”

I was thinking, she doesn’t even mind my company even when I smell like a decomposed corpse, that is a friendship that is very precious. It doesn’t seem right if I were to reject her, so I nodded. I followed her left and right to a secluded staircase.

She passed one cigarette to me, and I held it between my fingers and examined. It’s white and slim, the cigarette butt even has a pretty red heart engraved on it.

She first lighted up her own cigarette, then came out to help me with it. I was a little awkward, so I could only hard-headedly move forward to her lighter. Only when I moved forward did I realize that she has really good skin. I originally thought that it was the flawless canvas of a thick makeup, little did I know she wasn’t wearing much, alright, she was born beautiful.

Joy very quickly took a puff of cigarette and blew out smoke, which slowly dispersed around her. She looks like those demon vixens that appears while swaying their hips in Journey to the West.

I stared at the cigarette between my fingers. I felt like those bad girls who were brought to the staircase in those movies, it was pretty cool. I prepared my heart and brought the cigarette to my mouth, bite it with my teeth, and took a deep breath. The smoke went straight to my throat, choked me till I couldn’t stop coughing, there were tears in my eyes.

Joy laughed at me, and puffed out another ring of smoke, “Lisa, aren’t you quite useless.”

I hit on my chest to circulate the air, and answered her, “I… *cough cough*…. Never smoked before.”

After coughing, my mouth tastes like mint, I asked, “Are cigarettes all mint flavoured?”

She shook her head, “No, this is for woman who put on an act.”

I sincerely felt ashamed, I couldn’t even put on an act properly.

I leaned on the staircase railings with Joy, I tried to conquer the cigarette again, but I only looked at it burning slowly, why did she ask me here?

She finished her cigarette, and threw the cigarette butt down the stairs and said, “Aerum is seducing your man in the hospital every day.”

I shook off a long stretch of ashes, “Secretary Kim’s daughter?”
