One Pet Gets Married Chapter 78

"Well, I'm getting a bit hungry. Fancy sothing to eat?" Chang Ye asked, replacing her mask as she climbed down from the arcade machine.

"Sure, let's go eat," Zhou Yi nodded, straightening up.

After tidying themselves, they left the arcade and headed towards a well-reviewed restaurant they'd found online.

The day flew by, ti seeming to sprout wings and take flight before they knew it.

It was already 11 PM when Zhou Yi dropped Chang Ye off at ho.

The buildings in this area were old and dilapidated, the environnt poor. One streetlight was broken, making the place resemble the impoverished neighborhoods often depicted in slice-of-life dramas.

"I'll head back now. I've got things to do tomorrow," Chang Ye said, unbuckling her seatbelt and turning to Zhou Yi. "You should get so rest too."

"Alright," Zhou Yi nodded.

Chang Ye inclined her head, then slung her bag over her shoulder, opened the car door, and put one foot out.

Zhou Yi watched her back, hands on the steering wheel. She took a deep breath and suddenly called out, "Little Ye."

"Hmm?" Chang Ye, about to close the door, turned back to look at her.

"That day when you said you missed ... was it true?" Zhou Yi asked, her heart racing.

"Huh?" Chang Ye raised an eyebrow. "I... said sothing like that?"

"Mm-hmm..." Zhou Yi nodded. "You said it when you were drunk on your birthday."

Hearing this, Chang Ye lowered her head, staring at the ground. After pondering for a while, she quirked her lips. "Well, we were close friends for so many years, and people tend to get nostalgic as they get older. So I guess it's normal."

"Is that so..." Zhou Yi looked at her. "So, no matter what, I still have a place in your heart, right?"

Chang Ye turned her head away, gazing at the road. The tip of her nose tingled slightly. She swallowed and turned back to Zhou Yi. "Zhou Yi, I'm getting tired. I think I'll head in now."

Hearing Chang Ye's words, Zhou Yi finally nodded. "Alright."

Then Chang Ye gripped her bag strap and quickly walked into the building, running up the stairs.

Zhou Yi watched from below as lights in the building lit up and went out floor by floor. She slowly hugged herself.

When Chang Ye got ho, the living room light was on. Her roommate, wearing an oversized T-shirt, sat there eating a box of fried noodles while watching a variety show on her tablet.

"You're back?!" The roommate waved at Chang Ye, biting off a mouthful of noodles.

"Mm," Chang Ye nodded, changing her shoes.

"Where'd you go?"

"Just wandering around," Chang Ye smiled, taking off her bag and holding it.

"Oh, right, Little Ye, I'm not renewing the lease next quarter," her roommate added.

"Huh?" Chang Ye was stunned. "So suddenly?"

"Yeah, my ex-boyfriend..." The roommate scratched her head. "We got back together."

"Got back together?" Chang Ye raised her eyebrows again.

"Yes, so I'm planning to move out and try living with him for a few months," the roommate said, swallowing her noodles and taking a big gulp of warm water. "Though my friends don't approve, I think people just need ti to adjust to each other. No one's perfect in every way; everyone has their flaws. But everyone deserves a chance to be forgiven. I'm not without faults either. Soone without any flaws and perfect in every way wouldn't be human, they'd be a god, and there are no gods in this world. Anyway, we'll take it slow, grow together, and if it really doesn't work out, we can say goodbye then."

"Mm, others' opinions are just their opinions. You're the ones living your lives, so you should weigh it for yourself," Chang Ye said, rubbing her shoulder. "I'm going to take a shower now."

"Okay!"

After showering, Chang Ye returned to her room. She sat on the bed, combing her freshly dried hair with her fingers. Her movents gradually slowed as she reached for a vase on the bedside table.

It held a bouquet of dried flowers, made from the fresh flowers Zhou Yi had given her last ti.

Looking at the dried flowers, Chang Ye finally hugged the vase to her chest.

Two weeks later, the episode of "Drinking and Chatting" featuring Tang You'an aired.

Song Xici had no scenes to film that night, so she curled up on her hotel bed with a bag of snacks, eagerly waiting to watch.

She couldn't stop laughing at Tang You'an's adorably foolish comnts on the show.

After the show ended, Song Xici logged onto Weibo and checked the trending topics.
