Chapter 136 It's Over

Just like that, everything seem to have settled down. It was as though Dong Yin and Yi Cang had never existed, completely vanishing from Ye Ci's everyday life. News about them seemed to have disappeared entirely, even from Liu Chang's mouth.

Perhaps they're just burying their heads in the sand, or they just simply chose to cut off all their ties. The ten odd years of friendship, as well as the various entanglements before and after her reincarnation, all seemed to have settled down over the course of these last few days.

As it turned out, if a person had totally given up on something, the person could ignore everything about that something. Time passed like flowing sand, and the new school semester arrived.

A day earlier, Ye Ci and Bai Mo had already moved their gaming cabins back into the rented apartment. Today, both of them returned home together after dinner.

Bai Mo pulled out a bicycle from god knows where. He stopped outside the apartment, smiling as he patted the rear seat, "Do you dare to ride with me?"

Ye Ci gave Bai Mo a onceover before laughing contemptuously, "Heh, won't we be caught by the traffic police?"

"I've checked the route beforehand, we will definitely not be caught." Bai Mo sat on the bike, a smile as dazzling as the setting sun creeping up on his handsome face, "How about it, will you give me an opportunity to be your knight?"

Ye Ci laughed and jumped on the rear seat behind him, "I'm a fake princess and you can be considered to be my fake knight."

The setting sun painted the landscape a scorching red. Ye Ci leaned against Bai Mo's back as she gazed at the receding scenery gradually descending into darkness. Humming a tuneless song, Ye Ci allowed herself to relax. To be honest, this was the most relaxing moment she had experienced since her reincarnation.

"Ye Ci." The wind blew Bai Mo's soft hair past his forehead. In the chilly spring winds, Bai Mo voice wasn't loud, but the sound flowed into Ye Ci's ears with the wind.

"What is it?" Ye Ci's voice sounded lethargic as she leaned against Bai Mo's back with her eyes narrowed, a trace of insouciance seemed to be mixed into her reply.

"Is the incident with Steel Blooded Battle Spear over?" Bai Mo's voice was soft, till the point that it was barely audible. At this volume, it would easily be drowned out by the wind, but Ye Ci was still able to hear a few parts.

Ye Ci didn't reply, remaining silently seated at the rear of the bicycle instead. She idly swung her legs, as though it was not a question that required an immediate answer.

Bai Mo, on the other hand, acted like he hadn't said anything and didn't raise the issue again. Just like that, the two continued to maintain their position while they made their way towards school.

After a period of silence, Ye Ci slowly replied, "Who knows? As long as Thousand Sunsets doesn't come and find me, I think it can be considered to be over. "

"Then, what about Dong Yin?"

Although Bai Mo was not familiar with Dong Yin, he did know the name, the four of them being childhood friends and all. Bai Mo, who had been hanging about his aunt's house since young, had seen them quite often, even though their relationship was only at the level of just nodding their heads in greeting. However, he did know that the relationship between Ye Ci and the others were nothing short of actual siblings. In reality, Bai Mo wasn't worried about Ye Ci's way of handling the incident regarding Steel Blooded Battle Spear. She was an adult and was assertive; he was confident that Ye Ci would be able to handle the matter well.
