245 You seem different today
‘Guiying’s’ gaze burned with resentment and mockery. She felt a tremble within her as the real Guiying shook to receive a card from MrPerfect.
“You don’t learn your lesson, don’t you?” She clenched her jaw.
‘Guiying’ tore apart the crumpled card and threw it in the dustbin. Her body tingled with an urge to punch someone.
“You bastard! I guess my best friend isn’t enough for you anymore. You hugged her. You kissed her. But you are still sending cards to CherryBlossom?” She burst into laughter. “What a joke! What do you want, MrPerfect? Aren’t you living a cozy life with your girlfriend?”
‘She’ remembered the picture going viral where Jun and Ai embraced in an intimate pose.
“When you have MissImperfectlyFine, why is CherryBlossom needed? Wasn’t this dumb girl inside me always being used by you? The nerve of you…to ask me to meet you…” ‘she’ narrowed her eyes.
“I wonder what you will have to say to me? Isn’t your relationship already public now? Or do you wish this dumb girl to become your mistress? Screw up two friends together? Hahaha!”
‘She’ felt an annoying headache when she felt a protest inside her.
‘Guiying’ took out a cigarette and puffed out a stream of smoke. “Ah, dear. That’s why you are useless. You want to meet him? And then? Is there anything left to talk about at this point? In fact, I want to strangle him. He is cuddling and cozying up to Zhou Ai but secretly sending flowers and cards to Cai Guiying.”
‘She’ smiled. “But it’s okay if he wants to meet us,” she chuckled as she rested her head back on her chair, “I want to see how far can MrPerfect degrade himself? I want to hear what he has to say to me after declaring his relationship with Zhou Ai. It will be so amusing~”
The door then opened, and Zhan Yahui stepped in. But as soon as she did, she coughed, feeling the burning smell of cigarettes. “W-what is this?”
She waved her hand in the air, trying to dissipate the smoke and kept coughing. “What is going on here?”
Her gaze fell on ‘Guiying’, who was casually holding the cigarette between her fingers that touched her lips. She stared at her hard before she spoke, “Since when do you smoke, Guiying?”
‘She’ raised her brow and smiled. “Zhan Yahui. I always smoked.”
“What nonsense. I never saw you smoking before,” she looked at her dumbfounded.
“That’s because I never smoked in front of you before. Does it really matter? It’s not against Dream High rules or anything like that,” she smiled.
Zhan Yahui slightly squinted her eyes. She felt Guiying acted differently from before. Her expression and her posture seemed odd compared to how Guiying used to normally behave.
She glanced at her from top to bottom. “…Are you okay? You seem different today.”
‘Guiying’ shrugged. “Why won’t I be? Life is going so amazing, isn’t it? My best friend won the Summit, and she also has a boyfriend now. All are singing her praises. She is the becoming the face of the writing world now. She must be so happy. So tell me, what’s new? Is Dream High giving up on me because I lost the Summit?”
“Bullshit! As if I will let them. You are CherryBlossom,” Zhan Yahui pointed out. “Nothing can shake your position so easily. Don’t think about useless things.”
She tilted her head and watched her.
She never really talked that way. What’s wrong with her?
“Anyway, I came to tell you about something.”
“About the Shanghai festival?”
She blinked. “How do you know?”
‘Guiying’ peered at her and lazily smiled. “Nothing. I just know. So what about it? Am I invited?”
Zhan Yahui flipped out the request from The Creative Sense. “Yes. They want you to give a seminar. You didn’t win the Summit, but you still qualified for the finals. Naturally-“
‘She’ chuckled. “You pulled some strings, didn’t you? I am not invited. Don’t bother lying.”
Zhan Yahui said nothing. But she was surprised to see her so sharply asking that question. Even if she wanted to, she couldn’t bluff that Guiying wasn’t really invited.
“Winners get it all.”
Zhan Yahui narrowed her eyes. “You better don’t bring your self-respect here. Even if I have arranged it, you will go to the fest.”
‘Guiying’ waved her hand. “Chill. I didn’t say that I won’t go. In fact, I have a very strong reason to be there. Seems like somebody else wants me to be there too,” she mysteriously smiled.
Zhan Yahui raised her brow. “You are…really acting differently today.”
“People change, Zhan Yahui. They don’t stay the same for their entire lives. Otherwise, people keep fooling us the entire time. It’s better to change at the right time rather than regret later,” ‘she’ sneered.
“I told you many times before not to underestimate Zhou Ai, but you were too busy playing your friendship game. At least now, I hope you come back to your senses.”
Zhan Yahui kept the flyer on the table and said, “Go through it. I will create a plan for your seminar soon.”
“Sure.”
Zhan Yahui kept her gaze fixed at her for a moment and left.
‘Guiying’ never even glanced at the flyer. Instead, her mind was somewhere else.
“I wonder…just how many women have you played with? I remember something. Wasn’t there someone else who knows you too, MrPerfect? Another women who claimed that you two were good friends. But I wonder how much of that is true?” ‘she’ mocked in disdain. “After all, MrPerfect’s words look good only on cards but in reality, they are nothing but poison.”
‘Guiying’ lazily took her phone and unlocked it. She stared at a certain app on her screen and opened it. The app was updated a day ago, so it asked for the user ID and password again to login for security measures.
Staring at the Reading Point app, ‘she’ typed the username on the screen – Warlord.
