Double-faced deception (Part 2)

  In the vast darkness of night, under the faint light of a street lamp, a disheveled girl held her mobile phone and gently tapped on the lamppost.

  The narrow eyes gleamed with a deep-seated impatience that was about to turn into frenzy and brutality at any moment, the corners of his mouth curled up in an indifferent arc, his posture was languid and lazy, his unbuttoned shirt and undershirt exposed the white skin and pink camisole inside.

  However, whoever saw her would not have thought that she was a girl who had recently been raped and failed to be raped, at most thinking that she was a street girl with open behavior and thoughts.

  It seems she and those street girls have the same numb heart towards anything in life.

  Her slender fingers pressed the power button, and the phone screen displayed the boot animation. However, the girl slightly tilted her head, pursed her lips tightly, and gazed at the slow boot animation with a hint of anger in her eyes, as if waiting for an opportunity to explode in rage.

  The next moment, the "SAMSUNG" logo character appears on the mobile phone screen, and after a brief pause, it transforms into the initial desktop.

  The hostility and aggression in her eyes dissipated instantly, the girl slightly lowered her eyebrows, shrugged her shoulders, took a deep breath, unlocked her phone screen, and dialed a call to a contact named "Zi You".

  Placed against the ear and listened carefully for a long time, suddenly there was a "click" sound from the other end, followed by a faint and soft voice - "Hello?"

  The girl smiled, as if the smile was just a mask that she could put on and take off at any time. She switched her phone to the other hand and said with a pleased tone: "Yōu Yōu sister, tomorrow when you go to school, would you mind bringing my bag for me?"

  "Hmm? Hmm......" The voice from the other side was very faint, as if more than half of his thoughts were still lingering in a dream.

  "Yoyou jie!!!", the girl shouted, with a sly smile spreading across her eyes.

  "Mmm... oh? Oh, what's going on? Who are you? Calling in the middle of the night?" The voice on the other end became much clearer.

  "Girl repeated: 'I am Ye Cai, tomorrow, when you go to school, take my bag with you, trouble, bye ~~'"

  "Ah?" The puzzled meaning was conveyed halfway, the girl cut off the call and put her phone in her pocket, accompanied by a long sigh, her expression and eyes' temperature dropped sharply, becoming gloomy and indifferent.

  With her hands in her pockets, she took a deep breath and straightened her waist, slanting the corner of her mouth, her eyes low and indifferent, walking with a cold and unfeeling gait, her figure gradually disappearing into the night-colored streets.

  ……

  ……

  After a journey of nearly half an hour, I arrived at a black internet cafe on the outskirts of Luoshui Middle School.

  She pushed open the door, huddled her neck and slightly stooped to ward off the cold. With one hand grasping the collar to cover the spring light, she held the other in front of her small mouth to blow warm air. She raised her eyes and exchanged a glance with the simply dressed female netizen, shrugged, took a deep breath of the warm indoor air, and asked: "How much for an all-nighter?"

  The female network administrator, curled up in a computer chair with a blanket on her body, also pouted and had dull eyes, slightly raised her chin, indicating the counter desk in front of Ye Cai, which had a fee standard posted on it.

  Ye Cai lowered her eyes and glanced at the messy prices for weekdays, weekends, and price increases, but she didn't bother to look. She pretended not to understand and calmly took out 100 yuan from her back pocket and threw it onto the counter, saying: "Open a 24-hour room, uh, a private room."

  Lazily stretching out her paws from the blanket, the female netizen rummaged for the key to open the drawer, tossed the money in, then picked up a few scattered bills and handed them back to Ye Cai while bowing her head and counting the money as she said, "Go turn on the computer."

  Shoved the change into his butt pocket, nodded perfunctorily at the words, Ye Cai maintained a cold and leisurely demeanor as he sauntered deep into the internet cafe, passing by row after row of slovenly overnight netizens, before spotting a familiar face.

  Ye Cai blinked, intending to ignore the other person and continue searching for an empty room. But before she could do so, the other person slanted their eyes and discovered Ye Cai, instantly revealing a delighted expression, calling out: "Hey, Caihua Ge? What brings you here?"

  Su Xiaoqiu, the internet god of Class 22, sleeps a lot during the day and climbs over walls at night. He checks in to all kinds of games every season without fail, his skills in climbing over walls and getting online are extraordinary, yet somehow the teachers can't catch him, he's as sneaky as a ghost, earning the admiration of his fellow students, who respectfully call him "Internet God"!!!

  As for this guy, Ye Cai didn't want to interact with him much, their values were too different, so they didn't have much common language. He rubbed his nose and shrugged awkwardly, saying "Let's just go out and play."

  Although Ye Cai deliberately kept a distance, Su Xiaoqiu ignored her and continued to wave at her. Her pale face, which had been lacking sunshine and warmth for many years, was filled with joyful smile, saying: "Come over and sit down, come over and sit down..."

  He nodded slightly and pointed to a nearby seat, exclaiming in surprise: "Sit here, no one's...".

  Ye Cai was not good at refusing others' kindness, rubbed her nose, and sat down beside him with a gentle hum.

  Su Xiaoqiu raised her neck, simultaneously bringing her own computer screen and Ye Cai's into view, saying: "Hmph, you see, a 14,000 combat power opponent, the one on the opposite side wants to duel me."

  Out of curiosity and politeness, after pressing the power button on the computer, Ye Cai glanced over and saw that the screen was displaying the loading progress bar for League of Legends, but there were only two players, the enemy team was Steel Will - Sparta, while Su Xiaoqiu's hero was Champion Blade - Riven.

  At this time, Su Xiaoqiu cut off the switch key, and a combat power comparison panel popped up on the left side of the screen. The enemy's "RTD-Xiaosen" had a combat power of 14251; Su Xiaoqiu's "Autumn Brother Kills People with One Glance" had a combat power of 10762. Both sides' combat powers were over 10,000, which showed that neither side was an ordinary person.

  With the patience that was already scarce, Ye Cai finished watching and gave him a surprised and admiring gaze, and also let out a "wow" and nodded before turning to mind his own business.

  Su Xiaoqiu's legs were curled up on the computer chair, her emotional intelligence was not high, and she believed it to be true. She scratched her temple awkwardly, raised her hand, and smiled shyly as she explained: "He said he wanted to have a one-on-one with Pan Sen, I didn't even say anything, but he kept saying he wanted another round, humph..."

  "Is that where you're sitting!?" At this time, the voice of the net manager came from afar, Ye Cai was taken aback, then stood up and nodded towards the direction with a puzzled gaze.

  "What did you say?" Ye Cai asked Su Xiaoqiu again.

  "He challenged me one-on-one, Panson, I, Ruiwen..." Su Xiaoqiu was somewhat unenthusiastic this time and forced a smile to explain again briefly.

  "Oh... I'm going to win, Net God."

  She smiled and left a sentence, leaving behind a trusting and expectant gaze, then opened the browser on her computer, intending to publish two chapters from her draft box, and afterwards, taking advantage of having time, she would write another chapter.

  At the same time, Su Xiaoqiu's side also started a tense and orderly sold, fully concentrating on the game.

  Ye Cai twisted her buttocks, sat up straight, and rubbed her icy and stiff hands hard on both sides before sending them to her mouth to blow hot air while rubbing. After warming up, her fingers gradually became more agile, and she sat up a bit, ready to start typing.

  Open the document, lean forward slightly, face the keyboard, and type.

  ——

  Wen Xiaoyue and Ye Cai walked slowly on the small path between the trees in the forest.

  Wen Xiaoyue's face turned red with guilt and her heart felt empty, she didn't dare to speak rashly, while Ye Cai was a dull person who couldn't utter a word for half a day. As a result, there was an awkward atmosphere between the two of them, which made Wen Xiaoyue feel increasingly tense and flustered.

  "Ye, Brother Ye..." Wen Xiaoyue called out softly, then lowered her head.

  "Huh?" Ye Cai slightly pouted her mouth, widened her eyes, and revealed an extremely puzzled expression.

  "I... I'm sorry..." Wen Xiaoyue clasped her hands together, fidgeting with her fingers as if trying to shift all the pain of her guilt and remorse onto them.

  "Hehe, it's nothing, I don't mind..." Ye Cai smiled and shook her head lightly.

  "Tomorrow, tomorrow..." Wen Xiaoyue said, quickening her pace, then turned around, the two of them standing about a meter apart, facing each other. Wen Xiaoyue took a deep breath, "Let's go watch a movie together tomorrow."

  Ye Cai nodded, her eyes sparkling, and a warm smile spread across her face, "Mmm."

  A faintly cheerful and joyful expression gradually appeared on Wen Xiaoyue's face, she raised her eyes to look at Ye Cai, "Then... see you tomorrow..."

  Ye Cai stood tall and slender in the woods, his hands in his pockets, watching Wen Xiaoyue walk away with a slightly happy pace.

  ……

  Eleven fifty-five

  Ai Ziyou's small body lay sideways on the bed, Ye Cai suddenly opened her eyes and quickly sat up, with an extremely cold aura in her eyes.

  Wearing only underwear, he ran out of the gate and sprinted wildly through the streets before dashing into an abandoned factory.

  He hastily took off his underpants and peered through the hole in the roof at the bright moon, revealing a terrified face.

  He gradually leaned against the wall, his body trembling.

  Then dense black hair struggled out from the surface of his body, he opened his mouth wide, and his upper and lower jaws, along with his nose, gradually flattened and elongated. His teeth grew rapidly and became sharp and long, and in his blood-red eyes, a round moon shape appeared.

  Panting heavily, it sounds like a wild beast's dull roar. He now looks particularly intimidating, with ten long toes on his feet, his heels raised high, his waist bent, and his back muscles more developed and swollen. His entire body is covered in dense black fur.

  "Ahh——"

  He raised his head and let out a long howl at the bright moon.

  ……

  ……

  ——

  Chapter 5 "Moonlit Long Howl", coded successfully.

  Ye Cai shook hands with both hands, supported a lazy waist, tilted her neck to the left and right, felt comfortable, grasped the mouse and opened a chapter of code.

  Suddenly, she felt a strange gaze beside her, and she looked around in confusion. She saw Su Xiaoqiu staring at her chest, and she subconsciously lowered her head to look down, panicked and flustered as she covered up the exposed white skin and pink small vest on her chest.

  "Hehe..."

  She sneered, nervously brushing her bangs aside, then froze after realizing what she had done, before clenching her right fist and waving it lightly, as if wanting to smash it to pieces.

  Su Xiaoqiu blinked curiously and asked: "Hey, Caihua Ge, isn't that a woman's vest you're wearing?"

  "Hehehe...". Ye Cai smiled dryly a few times, swallowed a mouthful of tension, licked his dry lips, then suddenly patted the computer chair armrest and stood up, beckoning to Su Xiaoqiu.

  Su Xiaoqiu slightly pouted her mouth and widened her eyes, pretending to be a well-behaved child, stood up and walked to her side, was hugged by the shoulder, and led to the deeper part of the internet cafe.

  Ye patted him on the chest with the back of his hand and said with a grin: "Net God, you're so despicable!"

  Su Xiaoqiu slightly pouted and blinked, not understanding Ye Cai's sudden praise. As he walked to the corner, Ye Cai took out a box of beautifully packaged cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, smiled, and handed it to him, saying: "Come on, have a smoke, let's chat."

  Su Xiaqiu subconsciously straightened up slightly, then placed her hands on her chest and shook them back and forth, smiling shyly: "I don't smoke, I don't smoke..."

  Ye Cai floated with a stunned expression, then blinked repeatedly, sizing up Su Xiaoqiu's petite figure from top to bottom, saying: "Can't even smoke? My god, as an internet deity you can't even smoke... take this!"

  Su Xiaoqiu crooked her mouth and reluctantly took it into her hands, looking at Ye Cai with an innocent expression.

  At this time, Ye Cai took out another pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out and lit it, leaning his body to light the flame. This angle happened to let Su Xiaochun see again the pink little vest and white skin inside Ye Cai's chest, blinking her eyes, as if wondering how these things could appear on "Caihua Ge"'s chest?

  A puff of smoke rose, Ye Cai took a mouthful, slowly shaking his head and exhaling a ring of smoke, revealing a dazed and intoxicated expression. Then, with a raised chin, he said: "Ah... refreshing! Come on, you try it."

  As she spoke, she handed over the lighter and pulled up her collar with her other hand.

  Su Xiaoqiu dazedly learned the gesture, took the mysterious cigarette that Ye Cai gave him and put it between his lips, lit it up, inhaled, puffed twice, held it in his mouth and blew it out, then innocently winked at Ye Cai.

  "What a waste! Come on, I'll teach you. First take a drag, don't exhale, open your mouth and inhale the smoke into your lungs, got it?"

  Su Xiaoqiu scratched her temple and raised the cigarette to her mouth, murmuring: "Isn't it very hot when you inhale it into your lungs?"

  Ye Cai couldn't help but want to jump up and punch his wooden fish head, gritting her teeth to suppress the urge and unease, saying: "Smoke, isn't it that you're supposed to inhale this smoke, huh?"

  "Oh oh oh oh, I'll try, I'll try."

  Su Xiaqiu nodded slightly, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, then opened her mouth to inhale again, filling her oral cavity with swirling blue smoke that gradually disappeared.

  After finishing, Su Xiaoqiu swayed and covered her forehead, saying: "Eh yo, I'm so dizzy, I don't want to smoke anymore..."

  Ye Cai hastily supported him, her round eyes shining with a strange light, raising an eyebrow, and brainwashing him: "Don't you feel like flying fast? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just take a few more puffs to get used to it."

  Su Xiaoqiu heard this and looked displeased, taking another drag before sticking out her tongue and saying: "So bitter..."

  With a snap, Ye Cai's stunned gaze followed as the cigarette was dropped onto the ground.

  Looking down at the cigarette that was still burning on the ground, Ye Cai was shocked and couldn't come back to his senses. He thought to himself: "Smoke half? It won't turn into half, will it?"

  She closed her mouth, swallowed a gasp of surprise, and looked at Su Xiaochun with a fearful gaze as she covered her forehead and swayed back and forth. She quickly squatted down to extinguish the cigarette. Then, looking around at everyone in the internet cafe, checking if there were any unusual phenomena, everything seemed fine, so she let out a sigh of relief, carefully picked up the extinguished cigarette, dusted it off, and put it back in the box like a precious treasure.

  At this time, Su Xiaoqiu, who was frowning and looking bewildered in pain, attributing it to the effects of nicotine, glanced at Ye Cai with a worried expression: "Brother, are you okay? You're like this... Look, that pink little vest is visible to everyone. Why did you wear such a small vest?"
