Chapter 31: Reality Can Be Cruel Occasionally.
β¦β¦
Lip splitting.
A sparkling thread stretched to their lips.
"That's it." Bai Ling said quietly as she looked at the girl's golden eyes.
"Of course not." The girl bit her pink lip and had a pale red peach blossom on her face. "Anyway, don't do that next time."
"Isn't that bad?"
"Don't you think it's weird?" The girl looked up and showed her sparkling eyes.
"No, it won't."
"Yes." The girl propped her chin and looked at the expressionless Bai Ling a little helplessly, "There are some things you may not understand." β
"Are you upset?" Bai Ling asked softly.
"Not happy? In fact, it doesn't seem to be ......" The girl turned her head, her voice became smaller and smaller, and her short cherry hair covered the girl's beautiful side face.
The girl paused for a few seconds and then turned around, pretending to be angry, and said, "Now, you have upset me, and as punishment, I order you to drink all this soup." β
Bai Ling shook her head and said calmly, "One person and half." β
Seeing the force majeure in Bai Ling's eyes, the girl sighed, "Okay." β
The girl went to the kitchen and took an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks and put them on the table, looked at Bai Ling seriously and said, "Don't do what you did just now." β
"Okay." She nodded.
Next, the two of them really started scooping soup spoonful by spoonful.
Seeing that the air was a little boring, and Bai Ling's gaze stayed on her, the girl chose to turn on the TV to alleviate the atmosphere.
The latest news is broadcast on TV.
There are more photos on the background wall of the hostess, and the photos show people with various frightened expressions after death, mostly middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes.
"In the past three months, a series of tragic incidents have occurred in Dongyue City, almost all of the deceased died due to massive blood loss, and most of the deceased have teeth bite wounds on their necks, and it can be speculated that the murderer sucked the blood in the deceased's body and caused his death. At present, we define this murderer as a 'vampire killer', and we hope that the general public of Winter Moon City will pay attention to it, and if you find anything unusual, please call the police-"
The girl held the remote control quietly, her fingertips still resting on the red buttons. The girl's short cherry hair obscures the side of her face, and no expression is visible.
[Was it discovered?] γ
Bai Ling placed the spoon in the bowl and prepared to stand up.
"It's really strange in the news now, how can a vampire killer or something exist." The girl turned her head and smiled at her, her eyes like clear crescent moons when she smiled.
"Hmm."
"Soup, is it delicious?" The girl looked at her.
"Well, it's delicious."
"Then I'll make it for you tomorrow." The girl smiled innocently again, swaying gently like a cherry blossom branch blown by the breeze.
"Okay."
Obviously, both of them are not familiar with each other, but they can pass through all the doubts in their hearts in a few words, is this the so-called belief?
But I don't know why the girl has the so-called trust in her, but for Bai Ling, there is actually a moment when she wants to confide all the questions in her heart, she wants to ask the girl why she saved her, she wants to ask the girl why she can still smile like this when she lives alone......
There were so many questions in her heart that she didn't know where to speak.
So she chose to find the answer on her own, since it happened to accept each other, it was also an opportunity to understand each other.
And some questions will slowly emerge in my mind with the passage of time.
ββ
"Going to school?"
"Hmm." The girl nodded and explained carefully. "School is a place where you can learn knowledge, and many questions in life or society that you don't understand will find answers in school, and the school will help you adapt more to this society. On top of that, you'll make a lot of friends at schoolβ"
"No, I don't." She said, "I don't need that, I'll have you enough." β
The girl smiled slightly, "Although I am very moved, I still have to correct it." There is no limit to the number of friends, and every friend you know is equivalent to stepping into a new world, and friends will take you to enjoy the unique scenery of this new world. β
"Do you have a lot of friends?" Bai Ling asked.
"It's not a lot, I have a disease that forgets all the male creatures the next day, so my friends are only half of the average person."
"Am I special among your friends?" Bai Ling asked, looking at the girl's eyes.
"Well, it's special." The girl's eyes were bent into two bridges, and below the bridges were clear and transparent rivers.
The river flowed directly into Bai Ling's heart, and a warmth welled up in her heart, this was the first time she felt that a word would be so warm.
"I'm sorry."
She still refused.
Because she had a reason to refuse.
If she wants to stay with the girl for a longer time, she can't swagger in the public eye.
"I see." The girl was a little disappointed, but still forced a smile and pretended that she didn't care.
"I'm sorry." She understood the hidden emotions in the girl's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little pain in her heart.
"It's okay." The girl smiled, then looked at her cramped house and said to Bai Ling, "But you can't stay here all the time, so how about a part-time job?" β
"Part-time job?"
"Hmm." The girl pretended to be angry and said, "Do you want to eat and drink in my house all the time?" β
"Part-time job." Bai Ling thought carefully about this proposal, indeed, if it was a part-time job, there was only a very small chance that those people would find out.
"How?"
"Is it with you?" Bai Ling asked.
"Not really," the girl explained when she looked up at her, "because the bakery where I work is not doing well, so the owner doesn't need any clerks. He won't accept taking you there, but don't worry, I'll definitely take you to a good job. β
Before Bai Ling could respond, a light bell suddenly flowed in the air.
"Wait a minute, I'll answer the phone."
Bai Ling quietly watched the girl take out her mobile phone and put it next to her ear, her pale red lips trembled slightly, and she said a beautiful melody.
"Well, good. I see, thank you for taking me in. β
"Doodoo-"
Hanging up the phone, Bai Ling obviously felt that the girl's eyes under the slender eyelashes had darkened.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just unemployed." The girl smiled, two lines of white teeth imprinted in her mind, "But now it's time to look for a job with you." β
Bai Ling saw the tears flashing in the girl's eyes, and her heart tightened, and she hugged the girl into her arms.
Tears flowed down her neck and shoulders like a river, and then she heard the girl's soft murmur.
"I've been in that bakery for 3 years and I know the taste and recipe of every bread. I like to stay at the window and watch the back of everyone passing by at the intersection. I love the smiles on their faces as they eat their bread......"
ββ
Later, Bai Ling learned that the girl's salary for the last few months in the bakery was a piece of bread every day.
The girl tried her best to keep the bakery alive, and she tried hard, but she failed.
This is called reality.
