Chapter 303: 89. Inverse Heavenly Gang

Monday night was chilly, ever since the heavy blow from her mother last Saturday, Ye Shiyu spent each day with lingering fear from the punishment.

Luckily, her mother went on a business trip this morning, saying she would inspect other islands at Lin Gate and wouldn’t return until the day after tomorrow.

Even though her mother’s absence didn’t mean the watchers would disappear, it finally gave Ye Shiyu some room to breathe.

After washing up early, she planned to go to bed early. Wearing a white nightgown, she sat on the edge of the bed and was about to turn off the bedside lamp.

But as she reached for the switch, her gaze inadvertently fell on the jellyfish doll on her bedside.

"..."

The chibi jellyfish doll beamed a cute smile, a stark contrast to Ye Shiyu’s expressionless face.

After a moment of silence, she caressed the head of the jellyfish doll before reaching out to turn off the switch.

"Click~"

The light went out, and the bedroom plunged into darkness. She lifted the covers and slipped under them.

Her slender and tall figure curled up slightly, only her half-headed face, with eyes open, visible.

She didn’t close her eyes; instead, she pulled out her newly bought smartphone.

On the desktop, the eerie purple app was there as described, waiting for Ye Shiyu to open it.

"..."

But after a brief silence, she just opened Plane.

The screen displayed her chat with Yan Huan.

"Sister Shiyu, have you already decided about the club?"

...

"Sister Shiyu, did something happen over the weekend? I felt like you were avoiding me all the time when we met today."

...

"Did I do something wrong over the weekend?"

Looking at the last message Yan Huan sent today, Ye Shiyu pursed her lips and buried her head in the pillow.

Struggling slightly under the covers, she latched onto the bedding and pillow, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

It took a while before she barely lifted her gaze to look at the messages in the chat box.

Xiao Huan...

You did nothing wrong.

It’s me who erred...

I was deluded, knowing full well that bringing Xiao Huan back would lead me to do those things.

Mom was right.

What I felt for Xiao Huan wasn’t affection, but merely a desire to possess something beautiful and precious.

Not only did I make such a mistake at the time, but now, by not admitting my guilt, I’ve even led Xiao Huan to start wondering if he did something wrong...

Thinking this, Ye Shiyu felt even more guilty.

Ye Shiyu locked her phone’s screen, resting it on the pillow, and sighed once again.

She had no complaints about her mother’s punishment, but she worried, if she continued to ignore Xiao Huan, avoiding him.

Even if mom doesn’t tell him what I did, he might sense something is wrong, right?

What should I do?

In the spread of her black hair, Ye Shiyu’s pale and serene face was tangled in conflict.

"Buzz~"

Amidst her great perplexity while lying under the covers, the locked phone suddenly vibrated and lit up.

She blinked, looking at the screen, her eyes widened.

It was a message from Xiao Huan.

So late?

Ye Shiyu raised the phone with both hands, starting to read Yan Huan’s messages.

"Sister Shiyu, are you there? I have something I need to talk to you about."

"..."

Ye Shiyu didn’t reply, just biting her lip as she looked at the incoming message.

On one hand, anxious that the other party might have guessed something; on the other, inwardly hoping for some good news, something unexpected.

Despite this turmoil, she still adhered to the rules set by her mother and replied to nothing.

"Buzz~"

After waiting a long time, just as Ye Shiyu was about to disappoint him again, another message from Yan Huan popped up in the chat box.

"Let’s not talk over Plane, let’s meet face to face.

"I am now, right downstairs of your room."

Ye Shiyu, holding the phone, blinked her eyes after reading these two messages, then her eyes widened in shock.

Immediately, her fingers slackened, and the phone fell, hitting her head before dropping on the floor beside her.

"!!"

But she didn’t even care about the pain as she hurriedly sat up and walked towards the curtained balcony.

Not daring to enter the balcony, she slightly lifted the curtain, peeking furtively downwards.

Through the balcony railing, she indeed vaguely saw a familiar figure standing below, looking down at his phone.

"Squeak!"

Seeing that young figure, Ye Shiyu made an inexplicable cute noise out of alarm, reddening.

She quickly covered her chest, pulled the curtain shut, and sneaked back into the room.

This... this late...

Xiao Huan actually ran to Jinghe District?!

What should I do?!

If I continue not replying, would I just leave Xiao Huan hanging down there?

That’s too...

Ye Shiyu hesitated for a long time, covering her mouth, crawled back to the bed edge, picked up the phone, and opened Yan Huan’s chat box.

Tapping the keyboard, she started to draft a reply.

Thinking to herself: even if mom sees Xiao Huan running to Jinghe District late at night, she definitely won’t ignore it.

With this thought, Ye Shiyu nervously lifted her fingers, but her mind went blank.

She didn’t know what to say or how to explain her silence since Saturday.

"..."

Holding the phone, Ye Shiyu nervously lifted the curtain again, looking outside.

She just caught sight of Yan Huan looking up, meeting her gaze directly.
