Chapter 11: A Sudden Sunny Smile

Hearing this, I frowned. Clearly, only Su Xueyan and Sister Shuang knew about this. It was impossible for Su Xueyan and Sister Shuang to have leaked this information, so there must be something in the middle that neither Su Xueyan nor I knew about. This deepened the confusion in my heart.

Looking at Su Xueyan's reaction, it should indeed be the case; after all, this silly, cute girl couldn't possibly have any ulterior motives.

Su Xueyan didn't ask me why I asked this question, as if it were just a simple chat. And I didn't tell Su Xueyan about this matter because I was afraid she would overthink it. She had already been injured while being rescued, and if she knew she had been threatened by Wang Li for ten thousand yuan, she would definitely feel even more sorry for me.

Today was the weekend, and I brought the ten thousand yuan I had prepared long ago to the KTV. Fortunately, when Sister Shuang helped me pay back the money I owed Wang Li, there was still over two thousand yuan left from the money Wang Li had lent me, otherwise, I wouldn't have had the money for the hospital yesterday.

I didn't stay in the hospital for long yesterday. After a simple dressing, I was discharged. After all, a place like a hospital wasn't something a poor loser like me could afford to stay in. After yesterday's hospital visit, my pockets were basically empty. If it weren't for the fact that payday was only a few days away, I reckon I would have gone to find an auntie and tell her I didn't want to work hard anymore.

When I arrived at the KTV, I went to my previous workplace and found that Wang Li and his group had arrived early. They were probably waiting specifically for my money.

When the three of them saw me arrive, their expressions were joyful. After all, I was there to deliver money, so they couldn't help but be happy.

"How about it? Did you bring the money?" Wang Li smiled and put down the cigarette in his hand.

I didn't speak, but handed the bag I had prepared to Wang Li. Wang Li took the bag, opened it to check, counted it, handed it to San Mao beside him, patted my shoulder, and said with a smile, "Not bad, very sensible. Alright, you can get lost!"

Then the three of them took the bag, looking like they were preparing to split the loot. I had no desire to watch this scene, and since Wang Li was chasing me away, I naturally left quickly. However, looking at Wang Li's attitude, it seemed my job was gone too. But that was fine; being an honest person, earning money, and going to school was also quite good.

After I came out, I wandered around aimlessly and discovered that Sister Ling had actually come today. I've noticed now that Sister Ling appears more frequently on weekends. I wanted to take the initiative to greet Sister Ling, but since she was still angry with me before, it might be awkward to go over now.

"Little Yunyun, why are you standing here? Which little beauty are you looking at?" Sister Ling suddenly discovered me and said playfully.

Seeing Sister Ling take the initiative to greet me, I knew she wasn't angry about what happened a few days ago anymore; after all, Sister Ling wasn't that petty.

"Of course I'm looking at Sister Ling. Where else here is there a woman more beautiful than Sister Ling!" I smiled slightly, and my mood inexplicably opened up.

"Your little mouth is so sweet. Do you want to consider joining my harem and becoming my male concubine?" Sister Ling licked her lips, emitting that seductive, sexy voice, and pressed her whole body against me.

"This, Sister Ling, no, that wouldn't be very good!" My mouth stammered. The unknown fragrance on Sister Ling's body kept stimulating my brain; that mature woman's aura made my mind chaotic.

"What's not good about it? As long as we hide it from Xueyan, won't that be fine? Don't worry, I won't let Xueyan know! Don't you want to see my bottom?" That seductive, lingering voice made me increasingly unable to handle it. I felt my cheeks burning and subconsciously took two steps back.

Seeing my reaction, Sister Ling giggled: "Little Yunyun, you are truly innocent. It makes me, your sister, want to pin you down under me right now!"

Still a virgin, how could I handle such teasing? I hurriedly bit my lip to keep myself clear-headed: "Sister Ling, stop teasing me!"

"Fine, I won't tease you. If Xueyan finds out, that girl will probably eat me alive!" Sister Ling let go of me and kept her distance.

"Sister Ling, what are you saying? Xueyan and I are just friends!" I hurriedly explained.

"Got it, boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, I understand!" Yu Manling chuckled.

"No, not that kind, just ordinary friends!" Regarding this question, I became increasingly serious. After all, the silly girl hadn't explicitly agreed to be my girlfriend. If I didn't explain it clearly and it was misunderstood, it wouldn't be good for her reputation.

"No, Sister Ling, I came to find you actually to say goodbye!" I simply skipped the previous topic.

"Goodbye? What do you mean?" Yu Manling clearly didn't understand my words.

"It means I won't be working here anymore, so I'm saying goodbye to you, Sister Ling."

I had thought about this question for a long time. My relationship with Wang Li was very bad, and I didn't want to get involved in these troubles anymore.

"Why? Is it because of Wang Li? If it's because of Wang Li, I will tell Xiao Tao to have someone else come!" Seeing my serious expression, she knew the matter was likely true, so Yu Manling asked with concern.

"No, it's mainly because I don't want to go on like this anymore. I want to earn money honestly and see if I can go back to high school and get into college!" I lowered my head, not daring to look into Yu Manling's eyes.

"Have you told Xueyan about this?" Yu Manling didn't try to dissuade me or say a lot to me as I had imagined, but asked directly about Xueyan.

"Not yet, I'll tell her in a moment!" I lowered my head and picked at my fingers. I like to pick at my fingers when I'm nervous.

"Fine, whatever you want. After all, I can't give you any advice, and I reckon you wouldn't listen to my advice anyway. Just make sure you and Xueyan have talked it over. However, I'll remind you: Xueyan has really sacrificed a lot for you. I hope you don't do anything to hurt her!" Yu Manling sighed and left.

It was clear that Sister Ling showed a disappointed expression at the end. My quitting now was indeed like the behavior of a deserter or a coward, but I really didn't want to continue like this.

I found Xueyan, and we went to the balcony outside the KTV. Su Xueyan looked at the scenery outside with a pleasant expression. She seemed to always be like this; her mood was always quite good. Even when encountering these things with Wang Li, after the matter passed, she was still a lively little angel.

"Um, Xueyan, I'm leaving!" I summoned the courage to say to Su Xueyan.

"Oh, where are you going?" Su Xueyan hadn't realized what I meant at all.

"I mean I'm leaving this place and won't be coming back!" I looked at Su Xueyan seriously and solemnly.

Su Xueyan was stunned for a moment when she heard my words, her expression instantly dropping. She looked at me and suddenly revealed a sunny smile: "Oh, that's great. Have you thought about where you're going and what you're going to do in the future?"

Seeing Su Xueyan's sunny smile, my heart suddenly ached.
