Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

"Okay, okay, you're amazing!"

This time, Zhan Xinxue did not continue arguing. Bai Jingjing's status at home was indeed higher than hers.

You have to admit that.

"I understand all of that, but is it alright for me to come here?"

"Is it really appropriate for me to be a spectator about what you two are going through?"

The thought of that situation made Zhan Xinxue feel awkward all over; she didn't even know why she had come.

Perhaps it was simply because Bai Jingjing had agreed that she instinctively followed along.

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Bai Jingjing looked puzzled, which only made Zhan Xinxue more confused.

Is Bai Jingjing really that open-minded? Doesn't she feel embarrassed about something like this?

"Actually, you can join us too; it would be more interesting that way."

"Huh???" Zhan Xinxue covered her gaping mouth, her face full of disbelief.

Is this guy trying to drag her down with him? To make them both fall into depravity?

……

"Drink!"

Bai Jingjing looked at Zhan Xinxue with a look of disgust, her expression completely undisguised.

At this moment, she had taken off her outer cloak, and her original appearance was revealed to Su Bai.

He had to admit that this person looked even more stunning than Zhan Xinxue.

Her bright eyes, delicate face, and short hair made Su Bai feel like he was falling for her.

Moreover, Bai Jingjing has a better figure than Zhan Xinxue, no wonder she usually needs to cover herself with a cloak.

If this were to happen on a hormone-fueled campus, those people might not be able to sleep at night.

"So, this is what you mean by adults doing—drinking?"

Seeing the situation before her, Zhan Xinxue swore again.

She had to admit that both of the people in front of her were people who could easily break her defenses.

No wonder the two of them were able to get together and chat so happily.

"I don't have many friends, and you are one of the few female friends I have."

Bai Jingjing took a sip of bright red wine, which Su Bai had bought especially for them, since some girls really couldn't get used to beer and liquor.

The wine he bought wasn't a high-end red wine; it was just a sweet wine.

Bai Jingjing had never even tasted it before, but she was immediately drawn to it.

She had already downed almost half a bottle, and was clearly still not satisfied.

"Come on, bottoms up!"

Bai Jingjing raised her glass again and clinked it against Su Bai's.

He finished the rest of the wine in his glass in one gulp before picking up a skewer of barbecue from the table.

"What is this? It tastes so good!"

"This tastes really good! How come I've never eaten anything like this before?"

Seeing Bai Jingjing's surprised expression, Su Bai was speechless.

Sure enough, barbecue is something that people of all social classes enjoy.

"This is insane! Absolutely insane!"

Chapter 16 You see what's going on

"Bai Jingjing, are you crazy?"

Watching Bai Jingjing devour barbecue and drink cheap wine.

At this moment, Zhan Xinxue couldn't help but start to doubt her life. Was this person really the arrogant young lady of the Bai family that she knew?

Suddenly, she felt that all her efforts over the years had been in vain.

She trained so hard, put in so much effort to improve her abilities, and meditated day and night, but Bai Jingjing didn't seem to care much.

It seemed as if she didn't care about any of these things at all.

"Drinking! It's just drinking, isn't it?"

"I'll stay with you!"

Even when it comes to drinking, Zhan Xinxue doesn't want to lose to Bai Jingjing.

So she picked up a bottle of wine and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

A slight blush instantly appeared on her face.

"This wine tastes pretty good, but it's almost like a soft drink."

After finishing the drink, Zhan Xinxue looked pleasantly surprised. Wasn't this better than those red wines?

After tasting the sweetness of the wine, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the barbecue.

As if possessed, I picked up a kebab of grilled lamb and took a small bite.

"Mmm, it's delicious!"

She was almost moved to tears by the delicious taste.

She felt that nothing she had eaten in all these years tasted as good as this; all those fancy dishes paled in comparison.

It's not that the food she eats tastes bad, it's just that she's been eating it for so many years that she's gotten tired of it.

"Why didn't you say it was so delicious sooner!"

Zhan Xinxue looked at Su Bai with some displeasure. This guy had been here for a while, and he and Bai Jingjing had already eaten more than half of it.

Seeing the dwindling number of skewers in front of her, she abandoned all ladylike restraint, picked up a handful, and, imitating Su Bai, began to eat heartily.

Even with the same way of eating, it doesn't look ugly at all; on the contrary, it has a unique aesthetic appeal.

“I said from the beginning that you were the one who said you wouldn’t eat it.”

To be honest, when Su Bai first bought it, Zhan Xinxue frowned when she saw it.

They looked at it with disgust, as if it were some kind of poison.

Compared to her now, it's as if the person from before wasn't her at all.

In a short while, Zhan Xinxue felt dizzy, as if she were floating.

She was a little drunk, so she casually lay down on the sofa in Su Bai's house for a nap.

"Isn't she cute like this?"

Bai Jingjing, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly spoke up, her eyes shining as she looked at Su Bai.

The man in front of me seemed to have a kind of magic; when I was with him, I felt no pressure and was very relaxed.

"Yes, I have to admit, the school beauty of No. 3 Middle School is indeed well-deserved."

"However, I think you're not bad at all, so why are you hiding yourself?"

Faced with Su Bai's doubts, Bai Jingjing did not hide anything and looked at Zhan Xinxue lying opposite her.

"Because of her?"

Noticing Bai Jingjing's gaze, Su Bai asked her a question.

"Yes, we used to be best friends."

"But one day, something happened that made her suddenly become hostile towards me."

As if recalling what happened that day, Bai Jingjing's beautiful eyebrows furrowed again.

"Wait, is this something I can hear?"

"You're not going to kill me to cover your tracks after hearing this, are you?"

Su Bai had to be wary of young ladies from noble families like this.

"hehe!"

Bai Jingjing sneered. The man in front of her was good in every way, except that he was too cowardly.

"Let me tell you, you're not cut out for anything. If you were even a little bolder, Zhan Xinxue could be on maternity leave!"

puff!

Su Bai spat out the wine he had just taken a sip of. Was this guy really that aggressive?

Are you sure they're friends?

"What kind of look is that?"

Bai Jingjing's tone turned cold again; something was off about this person's eyes.

"Nothing, just wondering, yes, wondering why you two became enemies?"

"Hey!"

Bai Jingjing sighed heavily, recalling the scene from that day.

The two have been best friends since childhood, and because their families are on good terms, they often visit each other.

At that time, they were both known as genius sisters, and they were both very good at studying.

One day, while Bai Jingjing was taking a shower, Zhan Xinxue barged in.

"Wait, is this something I can listen to without paying?"

Su Bai interrupted Bai Jingjing's narration; if this continued, he would start imagining what would happen next.

If love turns to hate, it must mean that someone cruelly abandoned the other person; that must be it.
