The smile on Yong Shanling's face could no longer be maintained. She raised her head, her eyes a bit red. Looking at Mu Yijie, she softly asked, "What's your relationship with this young lady? Is she your new girlfriend?"
Mu Yijie frowned and shifted his gaze away, as if he was completely impatient to look at her. This made Yong Shanling's heart sink continuously.
"She's a temporary friend for now," Mu Yijie said softly. After he finished speaking, the whole kitchen fell into silence.
"Sorry. It's all because of me that you two are in this situation. Maybe I'd better come another day!" Han Jinyu stood up nervously and gently tugged at Mu Yijie's arm.
She seemed to treat him as someone very familiar, and her actions were quite natural.
"No need. This is Mr. Mu's home. If someone has to leave, it should be me. How could I let you go?" Yong Shanling said sulkily. Then she picked up her bag and rushed out.
Seeing Yong Shanling running away, Han Jinyu smiled playfully. She never expected that the girl he liked was such a simple one. She thought he would like mature and rational girls, or at least gentle and demure ones. She never thought it would be someone like this.
"Sorry. I made you act with me again," Mu Yijie said to her apologetically. This time, he asked Han Jinyu to come and act with him to make Yong Shanling completely give up on him.
"It's okay. I'm happy to be able to help you. But are you really going to push her so far away? What if you regret it in the future?" Han Jinyu frowned slightly, looking quite worried.
Mu Yijie remained expressionless and only said two words. "No way." Then he left the kitchen directly. Before leaving, he left a sentence: "Thank you for your help recently. The cooperation between me and the Han family will start soon."
Han Jinyu raised her eyebrows. Was he saying that he wouldn't push her so far away or that he wouldn't regret it? These two people were really interesting.
One loved deeply but pushed the other further and further away. And the other also loved deeply but didn't know how to express it and only kept hurting the other.
But thinking of her own feelings, her eyes dimmed. What right did she have to judge others when her own life was in such a mess?
The relationship between these two people was quite interesting. She decided to stay in the country recently to see where their relationship would go.
Yong Shanling ran out and wandered aimlessly on the street. Looking at this familiar yet strange city, she felt as if she had passed through another world.
In a blink of an eye, she had lived in this city for nearly 20 years, but she seemed to have never carefully observed it. She had always been in a hurry, coming and going.
She had been busy catching demons all the time, and then she was busy being a bodyguard.
She walked aimlessly, completely emptying her mind. She stopped thinking about her master and Mu Yijie. She was just like an ordinary person, measuring this city with her feet. Only at this moment could she calm down and not let the outside distractions disrupt her thoughts.
Finally, she ran to the Hei River in Huai City and sat alone by the river in a daze.
It wasn't until seven or eight o'clock in the evening that a message interrupted her daze.
Monkey King: What on earth is going on between you and Mu Yijie? I heard from Li Zhuo that he's going to introduce a new friend to them, and from what he said, she might be his next girlfriend. Haven't you reconciled yet? If you don't work harder, your Uncle Mu will be snatched away by someone else!
Fairy: Just let them be! Maybe we're really not suitable for each other. It's only been a few days since we separated, and he's already found his next partner. Maybe he didn't love me that much.
Monkey King: No way. Are you really going to let your Uncle Mu be with another woman? And it seems that this woman is quite excellent. Although she's not a cultivator, since she can be valued by Mu Yijie, she mustn't be an ordinary person.
Hearing Monkey Hua praise that woman, Yong Shanling felt even more heart - broken.
Fairy: Whose side are you on? You're even praising that woman. I'm angry!
Monkey King: Okay, I'm wrong. I'm wrong. So what are you doing now? If you're in a bad mood, do you want to come to me and chat with me to relax?
Fairy: No need. Do you think I'm the kind of person who has no one to accompany me? I'm out drinking with other friends now. I just want to relax.
Monkey King: Then be careful when you're out alone. Although you're a cultivator, you're still a girl.
Fairy: Okay, don't worry!
Yong Shanling put down her phone, looked around, and shook her head with a bitter smile. There was no one else. It had always been just her. She just didn't want to go to Monkey Hua to cry. She wanted to be alone and sort out their relationship. Why had it come to this?
Yong Shanling walked slowly on the street. Her mind was in a mess. Sometimes the scene of their first encounter would come to her mind, sometimes the scene of them spending time together in the body of the Devouring Python, and sometimes the scene of them running away together on Yun Mountain.
Finally, the image froze on the scene of the two of them facing each other with cold eyes.
She felt extremely sad. Suddenly, she saw a bar named Zero Degree beside her.
She paused for a moment and walked in. She had heard that drinking could relieve all sorrows, and she wanted to give it a try.
As soon as she walked in, she felt the dim light inside and a clear female voice.
Yong Shanling was a bit surprised. This was different from the bar she had imagined. She had thought that a bar should have colorful lights, deafening music, and people dancing crazily on the dance floor.
But now, although the light was also dim, the music here was obviously lyrical, and the people here were dancing slowly. It wasn't as crazy and chaotic as she had thought.
What she didn't know was that this bar was a famous quiet bar here. It wasn't a messy bar. Many middle - and high - level people liked to come here.
She walked in slowly and was quite satisfied with the place. She sat in front of the bar and said to the bartender, "Bring me a little of each kind of wine here. I want to taste them."
"Miss, it's better not to drink so much when you're alone. Some of the wines here have quite a high alcohol content," the waiter said hesitantly, looking at this cute little girl.
At the same time, he murmured in his heart. This little girl was so young. He didn't know if she was an adult or not, yet she was let in. What were his colleagues doing?
What he didn't know was that when the doorman wanted to stop her, Yong Shanling used a spell and managed to get in.
"It's okay. I have money, and I can hold my liquor well," Yong Shanling said with a smile, narrowing her eyes slightly, showing no room for doubt. She looked just like another Mu Yijie.
