Chapter 172: The Feeling of Being Watched is Too Strong
"Really? Where’s the appeal? I don’t see it."Ye Shushu, standing behind her, also an old classmate of Xia Yinian, looked at Xia Yinian’s face reddened by the sun and laughed with a hint of disdain.
"Such bad skin, is it really pretty? Shushu, have your standards dropped?"
Ye Shushu knew all too well that Lin Linglang would never say anything nice. She’s disliked Xia Yinian since middle school.
Of course, since Xia Yinian had been the class beauty since middle school.
"Nian Nian’s face is just sunburnt, her skin is actually very nice."
Ye Shushu didn’t want to stoop to Lin Linglang’s level. The joy of seeing an old classmate overruled everything.
She grabbed Xia Yinian’s hand, still a bit excited, "I went to your house a few days ago, your older sister said..."
"Said that she has no shame, ran off with a man." Lin Linglang snickered.
Xia Yinian wasn’t surprised at all that Xia Chuxue would say such things; probably, that woman said the same about everyone.
"Ignore her, she’s just in a bad mood today, throwing a tantrum."
Lin Linglang still grabbed Xia Yinian’s hand, smiling, "I know you wouldn’t, but where are you staying now, why don’t you go home?"
"I’m staying at a friend’s place, some private matters, not convenient to disclose." Xia Yinian replied indifferently.
"What’s not convenient?" Lin Linglang looked at her disdainfully, "Not convenient, or just too embarrassed to say it out loud?"
"Of course, things like eloping with a man, can you even talk about it? Please, Xia Yinian, you just turned eighteen, can’t you have some self-respect?"
Xia Yinian really didn’t want to deal with her. She was still working, where would she find the time to bicker?
"Shushu, we still have things to do, I will contact you later."
Taotao noticed Xia Yinian’s impatience and stepped in to smooth things over, "We’ll be in touch!"
"I mainly wanted to invite you guys to a reunion. Our junior high graduation class is having a three-year anniversary party, it wasn’t easy to find you all."
Ye Shushu and Taotao weren’t close, barely spoke during school.
Thus, she still looked at Xia Yinian, "Nian Nian, you must come this weekend. Your phone? Let me save my number."
Xia Yinian could only hand over her phone; the number had to be saved, but as for the reunion, she wasn’t interested.
After saving the number, Ye Shushu smiled and said, "I’ll text you the date and location of the reunion, you have to come!"
Finally, Ye Shushu left, and Xia Yinian didn’t dwell on it, turning to Taotao, "Let’s hurry up and get back to work, those people are watching."
"Got it."
...When Xia Yinian returned to the Gu Family’s house that evening, it was already past nine.
There were a lot of customers in the evening, and the boss gave everyone an extra US$ 100 for working two more hours.
After getting home and taking a shower, she was completely exhausted.
She didn’t know if it was because she had been living too comfortably at the Gu Family’s place recently, but just standing outside for a day made her as tired as mud.
She fell onto her bed, Xia Yinian closed her eyes, and in just three minutes, her breathing evened out.
Somehow, a tall figure seemed to have appeared in the room.
That innate chilliness caused the dreaming Xia Yinian to shiver subconsciously.
The sensation of being watched was too intense; she wanted to continue sleeping, but it was simply impossible.
Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered slightly. Amidst her own unease, she slowly opened her eyes...
