Chapter 68: The Big Sister Wouldn’t Want To Be Discovered Stealing Things, Right~
“Ye Xiao, where are you right now?”
“Ah-le-le, did our small fry sister Mengyue call me because she just can’t bear to be without me? Missing me so much that she’s sad if she can’t see me? Sister Mengyue, you really are such an impatient bottom-feeder~ Small Fry ❤️~ Small Fry ❤️~”
Ye Xiao was in an excellent mood today, especially after securing a dedicated musician for Yun Xiao’s team. Even the otherwise bland cafeteria food seemed tastier than usual.
Sitting in the cafeteria’s corner, Li Mengyue clutched her phone tightly, watching Ye Xiao laugh and chat with another girl as they ate together. Her fists unconsciously clenched.
She had promised to show Ye Xiao around the campus today. Yet, here she was, already replaced by someone else?
Binhai University was known for its artistic ambiance, with its Music and Media departments being particularly popular. Even the current Queen of Pop was an alumna of Binhai University.
Jiang Mengwei, who was once the goddess of the music department at Binhai University, had chosen to stay on as an assistant music teacher after graduation, becoming a well-known figure on campus.
“Ye Xiao, do you happen to recall if you’ve forgotten something important?”
Li Mengyue clenched her fist, suppressing her anger, staring resentfully at the now happily eating Ye Xiao.
“Nah, nah~ Sister Mengyue, what could I have possibly forgotten? Or could it be that Sister Mengyue just can’t live without Xiao Xiao, missing me so much she can’t bear to be apart from me?”
Li Mengyue took a deep breath, trying to hold back her frustration. Ye Xiao was clearly having a grand time, completely forgetting the plans they had made. Unable to sit by any longer, she rose with her phone in hand and slowly walked in Ye Xiao’s direction.
“Ye Xiao, maybe you should turn around and see what’s behind you.”
Both her phone and the space behind her echoed Li Mengyue’s voice.
Ye Xiao felt something odd—was her phone suddenly in stereo mode? Could it be broken? Following Mengyue’s instructions, she turned around.
Standing behind her was Li Mengyue, her face tense with barely restrained anger. Her mouth was slightly twitching, her complexion dark, and her hand clutched her phone so tightly that her knuckles had gone pale.
“Ah-le-le? It’s Fishy Sister Mengyue! What a coincidence ❤️~”
Seeing Li Mengyue’s expression, a foreboding feeling washed over Ye Xiao.
“Fancy meeting you here~”
Mengyue’s face tried to smile, but the effect was chilling. Ye Xiao couldn’t shake off the eerie vibe.
“Ah! Sister Mengyue-jie, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Sister Mengwei and I are just having lunch here in the cafeteria!”
“Mengyue? It really is you! So, you know Xiao Xiao? When I heard her say the name Mengyue on the phone earlier, it sounded so familiar!”
“Cousin? Why are you with Ye Xiao?”
Recognizing the woman beside Ye Xiao as her cousin, Li Mengyue was genuinely surprised.
“So, you two are sisters! What a coincidence!”
Ye Xiao let out a sigh of relief, glad that Jiang Mengwei had stepped in.
Li Mengyue took a seat, shooting Ye Xiao a pointed look that clearly signaled they’d be talking about this later.
Feeling momentarily out of danger, a mischievous grin crossed Ye Xiao’s face as she picked up her phone and tapped it with a smirk, unlocking it with her fingerprint.
Moments later, Li Mengyue’s phone buzzed.
Could this be a message from Ye Xiao?
Frowning, Li Mengyue opened her phone, her expression quickly shifting.
The screen displayed a message:
[Hey, Fishy Sister, you wouldn’t want your cousin to find out you steal things in the supermarket for excitement, would you?]
Though her phone was silent, she was sitting directly across from Ye Xiao, who wore an amused smirk, her face full of playful mockery.
Li Mengyue could easily picture Ye Xiao saying it to her face, taunting her.
She felt her lips twitch. She’d come here intending to confront Ye Xiao, but now… her own secret was held firmly in Ye Xiao’s hands.
This is the worst.
“Eep…”
Suddenly, Li Mengyue let out a soft yelp.
“Mengyue? What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Her cheeks turned pink, and she quickly shook her head. “N-no… I’m fine… just felt a little chill.”
After saying this, she glanced sharply at Ye Xiao, who was now smiling innocently.
Under the table, Ye Xiao’s velvet-covered foot, clad in delicate white stockings, had somehow slipped out of her shoe and was slowly creeping up Mengyue’s leg, intertwining with Mengyue’s black stockings.
Li Mengyue stiffened, lifting her head to see Ye Xiao grinning mischievously at her, her eyes glinting with interest.
Oh no, Ye Xiao… why would she do something like this in the cafeteria—and with her cousin, Jiang Mengwei, right here?
Though a foot couldn’t match the dexterity of a hand, the gentle friction was more than enough to fluster Mengyue, making her breathing quicken as she felt an unexpected ticklish warmth spreading within her.
She didn’t have any unusual feelings toward Ye Xiao… so what was going on now?
“By the way, Xiao Xiao, that song earlier… you must have written it a while ago, right?”
Jiang Mengwei took a bite of her meal and turned to Ye Xiao with a curious look.
“Oh, not at all~ I came up with it on the spot❤️~ Just thought of it and used it right then and there!”
“Then… do you think you could write more songs of that quality?”
Though Mengwei was impressed by Ye Xiao’s talent, she didn’t dwell too much on the details, assuming it was composed recently.
“Of course, I’ve got plenty~ As long as Sister Mengwei wants to sing them, I can write as many as you like❤️~”
Ye Xiao smiled, knowing that finding a musical prodigy like Mengwei was rare. Instead of exhausting her past-life memories by searching for more people, it would be far better to help Mengwei rise to fame!
In time, Yun-Xiao would finally have a public face to give the brand a voice! Making money through music would just be a bonus.
Completely oblivious to the black-and-white “tangle” happening under the table, Jiang Mengwei continued eating her meal.
Meanwhile, Mengyue’s mind was spinning in a fog of confusion. A song? What song?
Ye Xiao had done this to her just to sing a song together?
