Chapter 349 Alienation
Bai Lingshan blinked, looked at Meicunguan who was venting his emotions to her, and recalled what happened last night.
"He might be angry too."
At this point, Meicun Guan became even angrier: "What? Haha, I don't know who said: I won't bring my emotions to everyone, haha."
Hearing this, Bai Lingshan felt even more ashamed.
I thought: Because you mentioned the person who made him angry.
"I'd better eat that bun."
Bai Lingshan quickly changed the subject, only to see Meicunguan looking unwilling, humming angrily on the spot, and then returning to the kitchen. Bai Lingshan was also relieved about this, and she looked at the gear decorations on the wall out of boredom.
From what happened last night, we discovered that not being able to use fire in the country of Jingdu is definitely a big deal. At that time, Camellia Bird also said that because they are a pure fire spirit clan, they must wait until they reach adulthood and have the ability to control themselves before they can leave home.
Yu Hongye is not someone who gets angry easily. Maybe there really is some secret hidden here.
Also, after Yu Hongye left last night, tiny deformations appeared on the original golden patterns on the wall. If she hadn't gone to the back wall to reflect on her mistakes or stared at the wall in a daze when she had nothing to do, it would have been difficult to notice anything unusual.
"Sister Xiaobai, please have your meal." Only when Meicunguan put the plate of buns on the table did Bai Lingshan come back to her senses.
"Thank you."
Looking at the three pink buns on the glass plate, she put away the thoughts that she had just listed as clues.
After breakfast, Bai Lingshan took a walk on the streets of Xihua City. Since she came here, she had been to Suoxifa and the Spirit Training Field. Thinking that she would have to go back to the Clock Tower to stare blankly, she decided to give the lollipop that the old lady gave her to Camellia Bird.
She didn't know whether Yu Hongye was at the spirit training ground at this time, so she walked down the stairs carefully through the sea of flowers, walked to the entrance of the spirit training ground, secretly stuck her head out to check if there was anyone, and then walked in.
Many of the violent spirits in the cages were resting quietly, but the one that shook had been staring at her since she entered the door.
Bai Lingshan had nothing to say to it, so she walked away uncomfortably under its sharp little gaze.
The cage where the camellia bird was locked was still blocked by the barrier wall, but she once asked Yu Hongye how to open it. Yu Hongye, thinking of their feelings for each other, told her.
At this time, a huge golden cage appeared, and the Camellia Bird opened its beautiful golden-red eyes due to the changes in the outside world. However, things were completely different now. Bai Lingshan was already a stranger in her eyes, and her sudden appearance made the Camellia Bird, which had been imprisoned for a long time, even more irritable.
With its high-decibel roar, the entire spirit training ground became noisy. Bai Lingshan was frightened and instantly became panicked, and her heart began to pound.
"No way..." Bai Lingshan felt uncomfortable.
I wonder if Yu Hongye will come and scold me again soon.
She really had no idea that the camellia bird could cause such a commotion.
Seeing the camellia bird in the cage grinning and breaking the chains tied to its body, Bai Lingshan couldn't help but take a step back in fear.
"what!!!"
This golden cage seemed to have a magic that could cure the restlessness of the violent spirit. It was restored to her body the next second after the Camellia Bird broke the chains. However, the Camellia Bird looked unconvinced and insisted on fighting with the chains.
The chains kept being recast on her, but she became more tired every time she struggled to break free. Bai Lingshan couldn't bear to go on, so she picked up the two lollipops in her hand and threw them into the chain at once, closing the way to meet her.
The camellia bird in the cage reacted quickly to the surprise attack. When the chain was tied around her again, her mouth had already locked onto the object tightly.
"I've given you the candy I promised you. Sorry for bothering you."
Bai Lingshan lowered her head and apologized for her careless behavior, then ran away amid the rebukes of the spirits.
As soon as Bai Lingshan left the house, she started to cry. She didn't know why, but she, who never cried easily, kept crying. Bai Lingshan quickly wiped her tears with her hands and looked up at the sky. "...Xiaobai."
After an unknown amount of time, a word from Xiaobai interrupted her thoughts. When she was looking for the source of the voice, she saw Yu Hongye approaching her.
"What are you doing here? I didn't tell you to come today." Yu Hongye's tone was gentle and her expression was friendly, but what happened that night left too deep a mark on her, so when he approached, she still chose to keep her distance from him.
When this scene appeared, it seemed as if the friendship that had just been established between the two people was gone again.
Yu Hongye hesitated, then lowered his head and sighed, saying guiltily: "I'm sorry about what happened last night."
Bai Lingshan also lowered her head. After all, it was all her fault that what happened last night was caused by her.
"I shouldn't have used fire. I'm sorry."
"..."
Yu Hongye, who was always kind-hearted, suddenly didn't know how to respond. The two of them stood like that for a long time before Yu Hongye said goodbye to her on the pretext of going to the spirit training ground.
Watching Yu Hongye leave again, Bai Lingshan also returned to the clock tower.
With no plans for the day, Bai Lingshan had dinner and went to rest.
The next morning, Kenahe came and knocked on her door.
He said that there was something left at Guque's place and asked her to go and get it. Bai Lingshan went there with doubts in her heart.
I saw Mushroom standing in front of the table, and the table was full of...snacks and fruits.
In addition to the few kinds of fruits she usually eats at home, there are also various packages of potato chips, jellies, instant noodles, and even a cup of her favorite vanilla milk tea.
"This is?"
But Mushroom smiled and said, "Miss Bai, you are here."
Seeing Bai Lingshan stunned by these things, Gu pulled her over with her cold hand and said gently, "Oh, I don't know what happened. Hongye sent these things early in the morning and said they were for you. I asked him to send them to you himself, but he found a very awkward reason to refuse. Thinking that Miss Bai would have woken up by now, he asked Kenahe to call you."
Bai Lingshan was shocked when she heard this and asked, "For me?"
But Mushroom nodded, stretched out his hand, a golden light flashed, and those things were lifted up.
"These things should be what Miss Bai likes. In the past, when Hongye did something wrong, he would send some strange little things to apologize. I watched him grow up in this country of Jingdu. Hongye is a good child in every way, but he can't express his feelings."
Bai Lingshan looked at the things in front of her and became speechless for a moment.
"My golden light can travel throughout the clock tower. You just need to take the string left below and bring it back."
Following Guque's words, Bai Lingshan obediently grasped the string.
Above the line were snacks and fruits tied into a pile. Bai Lingshan looked like an ignorant little girl who had received a large hydrogen balloon when she held it.
But when she said goodbye to Guque and returned to her golden nest, she realized, how could she have accepted it?
"......Ah." Bai Lingshan wanted to cry but had no tears.
How can she just ask for other people's things?
This...this is very bad.
