Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 147

It had been quite a while since school started again and the weather had become warmer. Putting away her thick winter clothing, Ye Ci began dressing for summer. Although she had been reincarnated, she retained the mental age of her old self. She was reluctant to wear clothes with brighter colors that were more befitting for young women and preferred to wear gloomy and dark colors.

Zuo Xiaolan was very dissatisfied with Ye Ci's choice of clothing and did not hold back in voicing out her disdain, "You're only 19! Why the hell would you wear something as dark as this? It's hideous! You're not a crow..."

Ye Ci, who could not offer a valid explanation, pursed her lips and made up a random explanation, "It's called fashion."

Zuo Xiaolan rolled her eyes, "What, you think I've never been a teenager before? You think I was born old?"

When faced with these situations, Ye Ci would always keep her mouth shut. If she talked back, it would be like digging herself a deeper grave. When Ye Ci entered her rented house with a bag of her clothing, Bai Mo was humming to himself while cooking in the kitchen. He popped his head out of the kitchen and upon seeing Ye Ci's outfit, his lips twitched, "You really think that you're young and gorgeous? Why would you dress yourself like a 40 year old?"

This was the second time Ye Ci's outfit had taken a hit from someone else. She rolled her eyes and snorted, "Yep, I'm young and am blooming with youth. So what? Jealous?"

Bai Mo apparently disdained arguing with Ye Ci on this topic. He pouted and snorted out, "Yeah, young and dumb. Oh, by the way, when this young girl was not home, her phone was ringing nonstop. Does this young girl wish to go have a look?"

"Eh? I didn't bring my phone?" Ye Ci patted her pocket and found no trace of her phone. It seemed that she had forgotten her phone on her trip back home. She then headed into her room with her bag and immediately saw her phone laying on her bed after entering the room. Putting her stuff aside, Ye Ci reached for her phone, only to find 27 missed calls had almost depleted her phone's battery. They were from Liu Chang.

Before she had the chance to return the call, her phone rang again. It was, of course, Liu Chang. She answered the call, and heard Liu Chang's exhausted voice, "Goddammit you've finally picked up the phone! You dislike me so much that you won't even answer my calls now?"

"W-what? I went back home this morning for some summer clothes and forgot my phone."

"Bai Mo went back with you?"

"Nope."

"Then why the hell did he not pick up the phone? I've been calling since morning! I'm so depressed!" Liu Chang strongly denounced Bai Mo's irresponsible action with anger.

Ye Ci let out a laugh and continued bickering with Liu Chang. Soon enough, the conversation came back to the main topic.

"Oi, Little Ci, let's go have dinner later tonight."

"Are we splitting the bill?"

"Nope, it's on me." Liu Chang chuckled, "I've just received my salary today, so allow me to treat you."

Just then, Ye Ci heard the swishing sound of when Bai Mo was stir frying some dish, "Forget about it, it's your hard-earned salary, keep it for yourself. Bai Mo has already started cooking. If I tell him, he'll kick my ass."

"Then come with Bai Mo." Liu Chang snorted her nose, refusing to give up, "I am very offended by his irresponsible actions, but I'm not a petty person. I'll treat him to dinner to show him what a huge mistake he made towards a lady."

"I'll ask him, then." With Ye Ci's financial capabilities, she had no problem with treating Liu Chang for dinner every single day. She, however, held back from doing so. In Ye Ci's mind, friends should always treat each other sincerely. Money would only corrupt the pure relationship shared between friends. That was why she did not reject Liu Chang's offer of treating her to a meal. Although she treated Liu Chang to meals quite frequently as well, she always thought that they were best friends. It would be best for her to not dwell on other things.
