Become a Master of Drawing False Hope in a Tragic Novel [GL]

Chapter 40

With Ji Xiaoxue's words, a message echoed in Bian Yingning's mind:

[Congratulations, host. The female lead's villainous value has been reset to zero.]

Now that the female lead had come to apologize like this, Bian Yingning didn't mind it much and replied, "It's alright, no need to worry about it. Go back, freshen up, and rest."

Zero villainous value, that's great! It's wonderful that it's reset. Otherwise, she would have to keep worrying.

As Bian Yingning was about to leave, someone grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Ji Xiaoxue, with her clearly contrasting black and white eyes, looked at her obediently and said, "Senior sister... If you're not really angry, can we have a cup of milk tea together? I can treat you..."

Everyone who has tried the new milk tea shop near the school says it's delicious. Senior sister, don't you like milk tea? Would you like to give it a try?"

Bian Yingning sighed. She didn't expect that her hidden preferences would be discovered by someone.

Alright then, it's just a matter of having a cup of milk tea.

"Okay, let's go." Let's substitute tea for alcohol and let go of past grudges.

"Okay!" Ji Xiaoxue's joy was evident as she followed Bian Yingning towards the commercial street near the school.

Shang Qinghui, who should have taken a different route out of the school, stared at the two figures and hesitated at the intersection, but eventually decided to follow them.

Well, this milk tea shop must be really good. Even at this hour, there are still quite a few people lining up at the entrance.

Bian Yingning yawned wearily, "At this hour, nobody seems to be afraid of gaining weight."

"Senior sister, are you afraid of gaining weight?" Ji Xiaoxue asked.

"Of course, who isn't afraid of gaining weight?"

Ji Xiaoxue touched her own face with the back of her hand, "But I can't gain weight even if I want to. My classmates say I'm too thin, and I would look better if I gained some weight."

Bian Yingning: "..."

Maybe she shouldn't drink this milk tea after all.

The two of them stood together, chatting intimately and harmoniously in the eyes of others.

Shang Qinghui, who was a little further away, stared at them for a long time, long enough for Bian Yingning and Ji Xiaoxue to notice her.

Ji Xiaoxue became uneasy when she saw Shang Qinghui's expression. She still remembered Shang Qinghui's words, saying that her relationship with Bian Yingning was incomparable.

"Are you here to have milk tea too?" Bian Yingning greeted her from a distance.

Shang Qinghui approached, glanced at Ji Xiaoxue, and then ignored her. She only spoke to Bian Yingning, "I wanted to ask you, since you're here for milk tea now, are you going to have lotus root cake too?"

"Yes, I am," Bian Yingning didn't expect her to ask this question. She thought she was here for milk tea or to meet with a friend, "Lotus root cake is lotus root cake, and milk tea is milk tea. They're not contradictory."

"Alright, I'll bring it to your place later," Shang Qinghui finally left after saying that.

Ji Xiaoxue, who heard all of this, pressed her lips together.

They were going to meet even though it was late at night?

If she's being taken to senior sister's place, it will be past eleven or twelve... Their relationship is something she can never intrude upon.
