Chapter 103: 32. I had a caramel pudding..._4

Click, dialing through.

Yan Huan took the phone, brought it to her ear, and after a few seconds, the call connected.

"Hello, Auntie, may I ask if you’re Bai Yi’s mom? It’s me, her classmate, Yan Huan. The thing is..."

Listening to Yan Huan’s appropriate conversation on the other end, Bai Yi only lowered her head, not daring to listen, for fear of hearing her mother’s voice of reproach.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, her stomach uncontrolledly started growling with hunger,

"Growl~"

Her face flushed red, and she quickly covered her stomach.

Bai Yi had only eaten breakfast at her best friend’s place, then spent the rest of the day running around outside; naturally, she was extremely hungry by the evening.

She hurriedly stole a glance at the young man next to her, and seeing that he was still talking to her mother, seemingly unaware of her embarrassment, she let out a sigh of relief.

"...Alright, I’ll hand the phone to her."

The phone conversation was coming to an end, Yan Huan said this and handed the phone back.

Bai Yi shrank back with a bit of fear, not wanting to take it at all.

However, looking at Yan Huan before her, she hesitated for a moment, then took the phone,

"Hello..."

"Stay there, I’m coming over soon. Prepare well for tomorrow; there’s an event this weekend..."

There was no blame, and even no excess emotion in her voice, the indifferent tone of Zuo Jiangqin came through like an announcement.

The voice stung Bai Yi’s heart. She opened her mouth and agreed,

"Mm..."

But inside, she deeply regretted making the call.

"Beep beep beep~"

Hung up.

Bai Yi felt as if the strength had been drained from her body by that phone call; she put down Yan Huan’s phone, and after a while, she thanked Yan Huan,

"Thank you."

"No worries. You sit here for a while; I have something to do..."

"Mm..."

Bai Yi nodded her head.

Only after Yan Huan had left, the emotions in her heart started to scatter again.

What if she goes back home and argues with her mother again?

Or rather, she might not even get the chance to argue; maybe her mother has long since been disappointed in her, since she never lives up to her expectations...

What if she really isn’t suited for singing?

Maybe her lifelong wish has always been just wishful thinking, that she truly has no Talent, and it’s impossible for others to like her songs...

How annoying...

Others’ opinions...

It would be better if she didn’t exist.

But isn’t she already like that now?

She has the name ’Carefree,’ yet she’s still in pain...

If that’s the case...

Why should she not exist?

Wouldn’t it be better if everyone else didn’t exist?

"Click click click..."

When this thought emerged, the hands of her watch began to speed up.

The [hour hand], which had been motionless, now began to tremble, as if symbolizing the awakening of some power...

And around her, the clocks on the walls inside the tavern seemed to be slowing down bit by bit, as if dragged down by a force leaking from her, making them heavy.

"Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock... tick-tock... tick-tock..."

"Tick..."

While Bai Yi thought this, a dish was suddenly placed in front of her.

She suddenly came back to her senses, and the cold air around her instantly dissipated.

Bai Yi looked at the dish in front of her, where caramel pudding was served.

Pudding?

She turned her head and saw the smiling Yan Huan.

"I..."

Looking at the pudding on the table, Bai Yi quickly raised her broken phone,

"Thank you... but my phone is broken, I’ll pay you back when my mom arrives..."

"No need... Weren’t you hungry just now? Eat up."

"Eh?"

He heard her stomach growl?

Bai Yi’s face turned red with embarrassment, appearing a bit flustered.

Then, Tong Yingying’s voice came through,

"Xiao Huan! Come take the money, bill the order..."

Just as Bai Yi was about to say something, Yan Huan put a finger to his lips, shushing her,

"Shh, I secretly made this for you; it would be troublesome if Sister Tong found out."

"This... I’m embarrassed... I..."

Yan Huan gave a slight smile, and simply said,

"I’m a fan, so what’s wrong with treating my idol to something?"

Fan... fan?!

I...

Bai Yi’s breath quickened, and she thanked Yan Huan in a hurry,

"Thank you..."

"It’s nothing."

Yan Huan smiled and was about to leave but seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back,

"By the way, Bai Yi..."

"Ah?"

Bai Yi looked at him, not knowing what he was going to say.

Yan Huan turned around, speaking very sincerely,

"Your song is really good; I’m looking forward to you uploading new songs... Also, please do your best this weekend, I’ll be there to watch you."

"..."

"Xiao Huan!"

"Coming!"

Bai Yi watched as Yan Huan, having finished speaking, left to attend to his matters.

But his words seemed to linger, along with the vanilla scent of the caramel pudding in front of her.

Perhaps feeling a little hungry, she slightly opened her mouth and gently put a piece with the spoon into her mouth.

The perfect sweetness burst forth, just like the words she had just heard...

Indeed, everything he said was contained in it.

And this was the first time Bai Yi had heard someone say they liked her songs.

Her mother’s negative voice still in her ears, day after day of comparisons filled her with resentment...

Resentment towards that boy who was superior in every way.

However, she never expected that the recognition she had waited for so long would come from the boy she was thoroughly annoyed by.

"Sob... sob..."

Just from one bite, she already bowed her head, silently starting to cry.

The pocket watch in her hand also seemed to melt like the pudding in her mouth, its hands reluctantly slowing down bit by bit.

"Tick-tock... tick-tock..."

And then, it fell completely silent.
