Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

As soon as I stepped out the door, I was met with those resentful eyes.

"Do I owe you something? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Bai kept wondering to himself why Zhan Xinxue was looking at him like that.

It was as if he were looking at prey, not at all like he was looking at a person.

"Are you alone? Where are your friends?"

Su Bai noticed that only Zhan Xinxue was there; Bai Jingjing seemed to be absent.

If we take Bai Jingjing with us, we probably won't go to such a high-end restaurant.

If he hadn't brought Bai Jingjing along, he really might not have been able to afford it; the person in front of him wasn't short of money.

Because they weren't far apart, Su Bai realized that Zhan Xinxue's face was truly exquisite.

It's absolutely perfect from any angle, and it's pleasing to the eye.

"I'm warning you, don't let me hear you say that again. I'm not friends with her!"

"We are enemies! We are adversaries!"

Hearing Su Bai's words, Zhan Xinxue was furious. How could this person think that she and Bai Jingjing were friends?

The two have been competing since childhood, neither of them has ever given in, they compete with each other and improve together.

"Oh, I see, a rival in love!"

Su Bai casually remarked that if two women can't be friends, it's most likely because of a man.

Su Bai had already imagined the melodramatic plot.

"Get lost, we're not rivals in love!"

Su Bai is absolutely unique in being able to make a fairy-like girl start swearing with just a few words.

Even a few unintentional words can break Zhan Xinxue's defenses.

"I understand, it's youthful ignorance, everyone has been through that."

Su Bai gave Zhan Xinxue a look that said, "I understand," as if he really regarded Zhan Xinxue as a pitiful person with a story.

And it's a bit of a pity, I wonder which good cabbage got snatched up by some idiot.

"I wonder how much more handsome he is than me?"

Su Bai muttered to himself, still quite curious about the person who could cause a conflict between two women.

Just as Zhan Xinxue was about to retort, Bai Jingjing suddenly walked out of the classroom.

"Let's go!"

As he spoke, he walked straight ahead and led the way. There was a snack street nearby with lots of delicious food.

But judging from this, Bai Jingjing shouldn't eat in front of so many people.

However, Su Bai generally couldn't afford to spend money at any of the nearby places that had private rooms.

After much deliberation, Su Bai made a bold decision.

"Come to my house!"

Chapter 15 Let's Go to My House

"Come to my house!"

As soon as Su Bai opened his mouth, Zhan Xinxue put on a surprised look.

Wasn't this guy just saying it casually at noon?

Could it be that they really intend to do that?

What is she going to do? The two of them are going to put on a live performance in a bit, is she just going to be a spectator?

Thinking of that scene, Zhan Xinxue's face inexplicably flushed.

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate? You two go and do serious business, it wouldn't be right for me to go."

Su Bai: ? ? ?

Wow, this female driver is really aggressive when she drives.

I almost couldn't keep up with this train of thought.

"what happened?"

"You don't think it's appropriate?"

Su Bai suddenly found this person quite interesting.

So he continued tentatively, saying that such opportunities are rare.

"If you feel awkward, you don't have to go."

"Of course, if we want to accommodate you, we might have to get a private room."

Private room? Absolutely not!

He insisted that he would never let a group of people eat in a private room, and that they could only eat at his home if they could afford it.

"A private room?"

"Are you playing this elaborate game?"

Just thinking about that scene made Zhan Xinxue feel uneasy.

No matter where she goes, it's wrong.

"Yeah, doesn't it seem strange?"

"That's true to some extent."

Hearing this, Su Bai knew he was safe.

"So it's more suitable to stay at home, everyone can be more relaxed there, right?"

"Okay, I haven't experienced it either, but I really want to see."

Bai Jingjing remained silent as she listened to their conversation.

Although she could understand what Su Bai meant, she was somewhat confused about what Zhan Xinxue meant.

The two of them seemed to be talking about the same thing, but she felt that something was off.

No one asked for her opinion from beginning to end; it was as if she were invisible.

This is my home!

Su Bai brought the two female classmates to his home, which he usually kept quite clean.

There was no awkwardness going in, so Su Bai simply opened the door.

"Please sit here for a while, I'll go out and buy some groceries and wine."

He then closed the door.

Inside the room, the two people stared at each other, and an awkward silence fell over them.

They each found a place to sit down in the room.

Time seemed to drag on endlessly, and the two of them found it particularly agonizing.

"Bai Jingjing!"

Finally, Zhan Xinxue couldn't help but speak up.

Hearing Zhan Xinxue call her, Bai Jingjing turned her head to look at her.

He seemed to be wondering why she suddenly spoke up.

"You're not really coming here to do things that adults should do with him, are you?"

Although I'm reluctant to admit it, things have already progressed to their home.

It doesn't look fake at all, does it?

At this moment, all of Bai Jingjing's previous doubts were resolved.

So that's what Zhan Xinxue meant earlier.

"Yes, is that not allowed?"

Seeing Zhan Xinxue's complicated expression, Bai Jingjing found it interesting.

"You are the eldest daughter of the Bai family, is it really appropriate for you to do this?"

"What's the big deal? Can't I take responsibility for my own actions?"

Zhan Xinxue suddenly realized that what she said made a lot of sense, but was this really as easy as she said?

People from better family backgrounds often find themselves less free to do what they want.

Sometimes I even envy ordinary people who can experience all the flavors of life.

They can only experience a life of wealth and luxury, which is extremely boring.

"What's wrong? Is your status in your family so low that you can't even make decisions about this?"

The blatant mockery made Bai Jingjing feel like she would be missing out if she didn't seize the opportunity to retaliate.

"Hehe, although my family is strict, it's not impossible for me to be willful."

"Tch, spineless. I don't need to be willful; I can be anytime."

Inside the cloak, Bai Jingjing suppressed a laugh; she had noticed that Zhan Xinxue's expression was becoming increasingly strange.

If it weren't for the cloak as a cover, she would have been exposed long ago.

Although the two don't usually talk much, they have known each other since childhood.

She chose to wear the cloak not to match her Magic Card persona, but to avoid being compared to Zhan Xinxue.

Over the years, she has never regarded Zhan Xinxue as an opponent, but only as a good friend.

Bai Jingjing agreed to Su Bai's request this time because of Zhan Xinxue. She knew very well that Zhan Xinxue had treated Su Bai to dinner in the cafeteria that day.
