From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 240: Chapter 336: Bai Qi's Emotions Erupt Once Again (Part 1)_1

At this time, on the main road outside the venue, Fang Ren had already parted ways with Jiang Ling. After all, he couldn't keep dragging this formidable Xuan Ye Realm expert all over the place, especially since the area was filled with important figures from Tianjiang. If she were recognized, it would be a disaster.

As for where Jiang Ling went, strictly speaking, it was none of Fang Ren's business, but out of the blue, Jiang Ling came up with a bizarre idea to chase after her lost youth and managed to swindle him out of ten thousand yuan with a mix of cajoling and deceit.

The reason she gave for needing the money was that he had taken advantage of her while she was breaking through.

Fang Ren was in utter despair over this claim, crap! It was he who had been taken advantage of by this forty-something-year-old auntie! Furthermore, he had spent several hours today helping her search for her lost youth!

Regardless, even without this excuse, he would have given Jiang Ling money, because if Jiang Ling ended up stealing goods from all over Tianjiang's shops, that would be a real tragedy.

Walking back and forth outside the venue, Fang Ren looked for Bai Qi's figure. Speaking of which, that girl had been unusually quiet this afternoon. He had been gone for so long and she hadn't even called him.

"She couldn't have been lured away with a couple of lollipops, could she?"

Finally, Fang Ren took out his newly bought cell phone and called Bai Qi's number.

Du...

The call was connected immediately, Bai Qi's voice came through the phone, "Are you back?"

Fang Ren, listening to her voice, felt she didn't sound very cheerful. She was speaking in a low tone, not at all like her usual self who would start yelling at him as soon as she answered the phone.

"Where are you? I couldn't find you outside of the venue," Fang Ren said.

"I'm in the park next door. You'll see me when you come in."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Bai Qi hung up the phone.

Fang Ren stared at the disconnected call display on his phone and was taken aback. It seemed that the girl really had encountered something sad.

A few minutes later, Fang Ren arrived at the park next to the venue. He hadn't walked more than a dozen meters before he saw Bai Qi. In the crowded park, Bai Qi was sitting alone on a stone bench, dressed in her school uniform.

She had her arms wrapped around her knees, leaning against the stone bench, curled up with her head buried between her legs, her long black hair scattered around her.

Despite the many people around, her facial expression was one of extreme loneliness.

Fang Ren glanced at the vendor selling ice cream in the park, casually bought one, and then walked over to sit next to Bai Qi, plopping down beside her.

"What happened, why are you so unhappy?" Fang Ren asked.

Bai Qi did not lift her head and continued to hug her knees. Her voice was soft but a bit resentful, "You didn't take me to lunch at noon."

Fang Ren looked at her and laughed. This girl really was something else... Wait, Fang Ren suddenly thought of something and his smile froze. His gaze fell on the curled-up figure of Bai Qi.

"You... surely you didn't skip lunch, did you?" Fang Ren asked again.

"No," said Bai Qi.

Fang Ren heard this and knew it was just as he had suspected. He said, "Don't you already have money? Why didn't you have lunch on your own?"

"Didn't feel like it," Bai Qi replied.

Fang Ren immediately started to speak, "The things I did..."

Bai Qi interrupted him, "I know! The things you did were all because it's in your nature, because you're just a nice guy. You are like this with everyone! It's just that I thought too much! I'm foolishly infatuated and narcissistic beyond redemption! Isn't that right?"

"..." Fang Ren fell silent again.

Strictly speaking, Bai Qi wasn't wrong. If it had been a male friend with whom he got along well who fainted from exhaustion at work that day, he would have brought him soy milk and buns too.

However, he didn't consider himself a nice guy; it was just a matter of lending a hand to someone he got along well with. Most people would probably do the same.

But these things seemed different in Bai Qi's eyes.

Tears slid down Bai Qi's face, "You are just like Song Mobei... nice to everyone around you, but you are much worse than him!"

This time she didn't call him Brother Song.

Fang Ren sighed, "I don't care how much worse I am than him."

"Do you know where you are worse than him!"

"I don't want to know."

"At least he never made me sad, but you directly made me cry..."

"So looking at it this way, no matter what, he's better. If you analyze it rationally, you should like him," Fang Ren said.

"You're talking to me like I'm a fool again." Tears kept falling from Bai Qi's face, and her emotions were out of control. She didn't notice that there was already a crowd of people watching them in the park.

"You clearly know I like you, yet you still push me away. How much do you hate me? Or do you just want to casually throw me to some man, and then quickly use this as a reason to dissolve our marriage?" Bai Qi said.

Fang Ren held the ice cream, his hand still in mid-air. He watched the ice cream continue to melt, speaking softly, "A lot of people are watching."

Bai Qi wiped her tears, "I know, I know. I don't want to make a scene with you like this, but... I just can't help it."

Seeing this, Fang Ren immediately activated his True Qi, enveloping Bai Qi as they flew out of the park and landed next to a secluded green space. He still hadn't thrown away his ice cream.

He knew that if he threw away this melting ice cream, it would be as if he were stepping hard on Bai Qi's heart.

He couldn't find the words to comfort her, because she now believed everything he said was a lie.

As he crouched down, Fang Ren placed the melting ice cream in front of Bai Qi, "In Tianjiang, this costs eight yuan, which is more expensive than buns and soy milk."

Bai Qi sat on the curbstone, looking at his faint smile and the ice cream in his hand. Her anger receded like the tide, only to be replaced by a deep sense of grievance.

Just as she said, she was hopelessly weak-willed when it came to this guy. A simple ice cream was all it took to soothe all her anger towards him.

"Jerk..."

Bai Qi immediately took the ice cream from his hand, wiping her tears while eating it.

"There are many things I'm not lying to you about," Fang Ren also sat down next to her and spoke, "Like how I truly like Madame Xuan, and I also think you'd be better off not being with me. Because love is between two people, and if either of us doesn't like the other, this relationship shouldn't exist."
