Chapter 309 & 310

Chapter 309 Awkward... (Part 1)

Ye Ci gave Tan Polang a long hard look before heading into the washroom. But she stopped dead on her tracks as a feeling of unease surged into her heart. Has he seen that forum post? She almost screamed out loud at that thought. She stood by the washroom door and took in deep breaths to calm herself down before rushing to the veranda.

Tan Polang heard the incoming footsteps, and turned around just to see Ye Ci walking towards him with a murderous glare. Despite her impaired movement, Ye Ci was still fast approaching, and her expression sent a chill down Tan Polang's spine. He immediately began to think of the things that he might have done to offend his beloved sister.

I did nothing wrong right? Right?! Even if he was in contact with Fleeting Time under orders of his mom, it was impossible for Ye Ci to learn of such a thing. But why is her expression so scary? Why?!

He did not know what he did wrong, but he knew it was wise to be prepared. That was why Tan Polang began steeling himself for the storm that was about to arrive very soon.

Even if Ye Ci was a reincarnator, she did not develop the ability to read minds. She knew not that Tan Polang harbored guilt in his heart. The only thing she saw was Tan Polang turning around with a surprised expression, asking, "What is it, Sister Ye?"

Had Ye Ci not been troubled by the pictures on the forums, she would have sensed that something was amidst as Tan Polang was subconsciously averting his gaze from hers. But with her mind occupied, Ye Ci failed to detect the subtle change in Tan Polang's demeanor.

Ye Ci limped her way to the veranda, and stared at Tan Polang for a very long moment before finally speaking up, "Polang, do you have something to say to me?"

Tan Polang could feel himself melting under Ye Ci's stern gaze. He visibly gulped at the sight of her, and his heart was literally in his mouth. She had spoken up before he had the chance to work up his courage to initiate a conversation.

"Eh?" Tan Polang was stunned into silence. He had a feeling that Ye Ci had seen through his thoughts as he stared at her.

Ye Ci took in a deep breath to calm herself down, and finally managed to repeat her question with a calmer voice, "As I was saying... Do you have something to say to me?" Tan Polang visibly gulped. Do I have something to say to her?

No! I don't think so! Even if I do, it'll be about the post on the forum. But Tan Polang knew that he would not have the courage to raise the topic. He did not have the strength to weather the storm that would be unleashed upon him if Ye Ci heard of the news.

Hence, silence was his only option, "Nothing, there's nothing at all." And Ye Ci would of course doubt her words. The post yesterday is very popular, there's no way he'll be so calm. Is it possible that he has not seen it at all? Ye Ci's gaze shifted downwards and settled on the English textbook held in Tan Polang's hands. Well it could be true. He's working hard to get a scholarship. Kid's barely logging into the game these days. There's a chance that he didn't even have the time to have a look on the forums.

But there was still doubt in a tiny corner of Ye Ci's heart. She stared intently at Tan Polang before narrowing her eyes at the boy, "You really have nothing to say to me?"

Tan Polang could feel his heart in his mouth. His feet would have given away underneath him had he not been sitting on a chair under such an intense gaze.

He visibly gulped again, and suppressed his fear.

Tan Polang knew that if he buckled underneath the pressure of Ye Ci, he would definitely suffer under the hands of Zuo Xiaolan. He knew that Zuo Xiaolan was the most powerful figure in the family. Even Ye Ci, Ye Nantian, and Bai Mo combined were no match for his mom. And that was why he made up his mind to take Zuo Xiaolan's side.
