Three seconds later, inside the Giant Bar.
The beautiful owner leaned against the bar, playing with her phone, when suddenly, a text message popped up.
The content was concise and clear: Insect, I’m still alive.
Ye Tiao stared at the notification on top of her phone screen, frozen for one, two, three seconds...
She suddenly rose up, but unguarded, she fell off the bar stool with a ’smack’.
Ye Tiao’s action attracted quite a bit of attention.
"Boss, are you okay?"
"Sister Ye, why did you suddenly fall?"
Ye Tiao, as if completely deaf, opened the text and read the nickname "Insect" over and over.
Moreover, it was sent to her personal number known only by a few family members and friends.
Of all the people in the world, only one person would give such messy nicknames.
But that person... was dead!
She had clearly seen her body inspected and cremated!
During the time they were handling her affairs, it was Ye Tiao who accompanied Tang Wu’s mother, Tang Wu’s family, and went through the process of sending her off step by step.
How could she possibly still be alive!?
Yet, the rumors circulating online recently were too wild.
And crazily enough, they were also believable.
Ye Tiao’s previously firm stance was suddenly shaken.
She stared intently at the text and quickly replied: Who are you?
From an unknown number: When you were eight, you broke the jade pendant my granny gave me, something I never told anyone.
"Damn!" Ye Tiao’s eyes suddenly heated up with tears.
Ye Tiao and Tang Wu had been neighbors since childhood, growing up so close.
Tang Wu had worn a jade pendant around her neck ever since she was one year old.
During the summer when they were eight, they fought, and Ye Tiao accidentally pulled off her jade pendant.
Not only did it come off, but it also accidentally broke into several pieces.
Ye Tiao was so scared that she cried her eyes out, and Tang Wu cried too, picking up her jade pendant and bawling all the way home.
Ye Tiao thought for sure Granny Tang was going to come charging over, but after waiting two days, nobody came to complain to her parents.
Later, when she inquired, she found out that Tang Wu had taken all the blame and was grounded by Granny Tang, not allowed out of her room for three days.
Ye Tiao was both guilty and sad, but after apologizing to Tang Wu, they made up.
For the next several years, they never had another conflict.
But this incident, they never spoke of again, and it became an unspoken secret between them.
Ye Tiao’s tears suddenly started rolling down.
Then, under everyone’s astonished gaze, she turned and stormed out.
Upon leaving the bar, Ye Tiao immediately dialed the number of the call.
Shi Mei, seeing the incoming call, felt her heart warm up.
Ye Tiao was her best friend, truly like a sister.
But seeing the incoming call, she still hung up and sent a text: I can’t talk on the phone right now.
Ye Tiao quickly replied: Why did you call me Insect?
Shi Mei smiled, replying: Aren’t you afraid of insects? Just helping you overcome it~
Ye Tiao, seeing this cheeky reply, couldn’t control her trembling hands and pressed again: How old are you?
That was their little code.
Shi Mei replied: 38G, have you forgotten, little AA~
Ye Tiao let out a loud cry, squatting down, tears streaming.
Yet she didn’t forget to reply: Dammit!
Shi Mei, seeing the swear word, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
This was the first time since becoming Shi Mei that she laughed genuinely and happily.
Long time no see, Ye Tiao.
