Chapter 118 - 118 30 Falling into the Abyss

118: Chapter 30 Falling into the Abyss 118: Chapter 30 Falling into the Abyss In the afternoon, in Fixed Wing District.

At a beverage shop next to the commercial street, sat Kardesia with a face as dark as char, the extremely dejected Qin Qianbai, and the helpless Qiluo.

On the small round table were three cups of iced coffee, ordered by a fashion-forward female college student to cool off.

Kardesia grabbed her drink, gulping down half in one go.

She slammed the glass onto the table forcefully and exclaimed indignantly, “What the hell is wrong with those two idiots!”

“Ah, Kardesia!!”

Miss Qiluo hurriedly tried to calm her down.

In stark contrast to the blonde woman, the almost pallid young lady pushed her coffee aside, slowly lowering her head.

“I’m sorry…

I’ve messed everything up…”

“Ah, Qin Qianbai!!”

Qiluo frantically supported the girl, who was extremely downcast and lay motionless on the table, like a lump of dough ready to be shaped.

“It’s not your fault, Little Qian.

Who would ever describe a girl as a wild beast?

I told Gongsun Ce about this a long time ago, and yet that guy dared to call someone ‘bear’ repeatedly today!

Let alone you, it made me angry just listening to it!”

Kardesia seemed even more furious, and Qiluo suddenly remembered the earlier remarks by the young man with grey hair.

“I think you should calm down and choose appropriate words to explain the situation, instead of using such impolite language due to personal bias.”

“Why would you use words like ‘bear’ to describe a woman you don’t know?”

She anxiously defended the young man, “No, it’s not like that!

Gongsun Ce has always remembered—”

“Ah Ce knows.

Everyone who is familiar with Kardesia knows this.”

You should never call that girl “Red Lion”.

And don’t use words like tiger, bear, or leopard to describe girls in front of her.

This was a “rule” that the group of four would consciously follow, just like not to bring up the collapse of the Country in front of Gongsun Ce, not to probe into Shiyu Lianyi’s past, and not to delve into Qin Qianbai’s origins…

Merely small requests, born out of mutual respect, and not too much to ask for.

With this in mind, Qin Qianbai’s mood sank further.

She just wanted to remind him that his words were a bit hypocritical, yet he kept on saying ‘bear, bear.’ Ah Ce must have been angry about the earlier fight, else why would he do that?

But she had no right to blame him, because at that time, she too had been irritated by it…

and in the end, it all turned out that way.

The young lady said sorrowfully, “Kardesia, I’ve ruined my own love life.”

She was so downcast that she forgot to hide her heartfelt words.

The woman in the hat replied sourly, “That’s a coincidence, my love life’s ruined too!

Now we can form a heartbreak duo!”

Qin Qianbai and Qiluo both looked up at her in unison.

“What’s with those looks?”

Qiluo spoke for both of them, “We thought you…”

Kardesia took off her hat and threw it onto the table.

“Ah, yes, I like him!

I’ve liked him for such a long time!!

But Lianyi never had any feelings for me at all, and I gave up on that idea a long time ago!

Just be a sister-like friend, that’s it!”

She finished the rest of her coffee and snatched away the untouched one in front of Qin Qianbai, taking two sips.

“And what happened?!

Today that guy made a big deal of asking me out, even going so far as to embarrass himself, I really thought he had finally come to his senses and was planning to ask me on a date…

In the end, he tells me it was an April Fool’s prank in advance!

Look at how happy he was laughing, finally acting his age, so great for you, Lianyi!”

After saying all this in one breath, Kardesia seemed even more upset.

She turned and looked out at the street, finishing with a statement filled with negative energy.

“Just my own wishful thinking.”

…

Qin Qianbai couldn’t think of anything to say.

She really wanted to tell her that her assumptions had been right, but in the end, the one who undeniably said those words was Shiyu Lianyi himself.

Qiluo said guiltily, “It’s all my fault, if I hadn’t—”

“It’s not your fault, Qiluo,” Kardesia roughly ruffled her hair, “Don’t take the blame for others’ mistakes.”

Kardesia’s phone rang at that moment; she glanced at the caller ID and saw Lianyi’s name.

She turned the phone off.

The three of them sat without words.

Thus, the angry person became angrier, the dejected more dejected, and the self-blaming more self-reproachful.

In the afternoon, in Fixed Wing District.

Several hundred meters from the building, there was a man-made attraction built with investment last year.

There was an artificial river, and with the matching sloped grass banks, it would look familiar to anyone who often watches animation.

Two teenagers, blackened all over, were sitting on the grass.

Their faces were as black as charcoal, their hair dried out, and the smell of being burnt lingered on them, such that they would exhale small puffs of black smoke whenever they spoke.

Shiyu Lianyi had finally given the tickets Qiluo had given him as a present to Milais, as compensation for the middle school student getting caught up in their trouble.

After that, the three hooligans and the middle school student commiserated with each other for a while before parting ways.

If Gongsun Ce had seen the moment when his friend handed over the Walkman, he might have done something.

Unfortunately, the youth was busy looking for a parking spot at the time, so after much ado, they ended up with nothing, and the Walkman returned to its “original owner.”

Shiyu Lianyi was making a call; he heard the notification that the other party had turned off their phone and silently put his phone away.

“Plop.”

Gongsun Ce picked up a pebble and threw it into the river.

The pebble made a small splash and then was still.
