BXBX NOVEL Chapter 527 *Crunch!*
527 *Crunch!*
"Bachelor\'s party?" Dylan was surprised when Yan Ying brought this topic up. Not to mention Dylan, even Ah-Si was left in disbelief. Meanwhile, Xiaoli seemed like he had expected this from his best friend.
As for Dylan and Ah-Si, they both thought that Yan Ying would be too heartbroken because of Meihui and Xiaoli\'s wedding. Even though everyone around her teased her about this rumored boyfriend, no one had still taken it seriously. After all, forgetting your childhood love wasn\'t a joke. Both Dylan and Ah-Si knew how difficult it was to move on.
And they both knew the intensity of Yan Ying\'s feelings. That\'s why it really surprised them that she was so eagerly bringing up this topic of bachelor\'s party.
Yan Ying who had been focused on her meal really didn\'t pay attention to what kind of \'looks\' were being exchanged between Dylan and Ah-Si. At this moment, she was solely occupied by the food before her. That is why she nonchalantly went on, "Of course, bachelor\'s party. As a best friend, it\'s my job." She looked up at Xiaoli who was eating gracefully and elegantly as she added, "Ah-Li, you don\'t worry at all. This best friend of yours will make it memorable for you." She even patted her chest to show her resolve. "You just make a grand entrance, leave the rest to me."
"I suddenly have no faith in you," said Xin Xiaoli making Ying pout at him.
"How can you doubt my sincerity?"
Xin Xiaoli took a deep breath and gritted out, "Because I haven\'t forgotten my twenty-second birthday."
"Pff!" Ying couldn\'t stop herself from spurting the soymilk in her mouth out. Taking a paper towel, she hurried wiped her mouth, and seeing Xiaoli\'s glare, she pursed her lips. She wanted to laugh more but she held herself back. "I\'m sorry for acting so rudely. But you shouldn\'t bring up my dark history like that."
"Your dark history? Why do I feel like I\'m the one stuck with it?"
Seeing the staring competition between them, Dylan chimed in, "Am I missing something here?"
Ah-Si laughed beside him and said, "Back then, Ying Jie and bro argued about something. To appease her anger, bro agreed to let her organize his large scale birthday."
Dylan frowned at that, "But Li bro doesn\'t like celebrating his birthdays in a showy manner."
Ah-Si nodded his head in agreement, "Yes, he doesn\'t and how can Ying Jie not know about his preference? She did it to irk him and she thoroughly succeeded when she held that \'princess-themed\' birthday party for him."
"What?!" exclaimed Dylan while looking at Ying who smiled innocently in reply as if she didn\'t do anything wrong.
Taking another sip of her soymilk, Ying added, "Ah-Si, how can you forget? That beautiful diamond-encrusted tiara looked gorgeous on our Ah-Li."
Dylan was still trying to process this information and lamented in his heart how he missed this incident. Seeing it live would have been... Awesome! But now that he thought about it, where was he at Li bro\'s twenty-second birthday? Suddenly, his brows creased up as he thought, \'Wasn\'t it the birthday right after Sister Meihui\'s wedding?\' He looked up and stared at Xiaoli and Ying\'s indifferent faces. Indeed, the reason for the argument between these best friends had always been his sister.
He couldn\'t deny it that Qiu Meihui really found her way between Xiaoli and Ying every single time. Whether she was there or not, she was able to sow discord between them. It was truly surprising how they were still best friends. But thinking about it again, it truly wasn\'t that surprising since at a glance one could see that these best friends never had a shallow friendship.
"I must say though, it\'s one of my favorite memories. I don\'t know why you call it a dark history." Ying was still very casual as she reminisced. "You should be glad that even though it was a Princess-themed party, I still chose blue as the main color. Imagine wearing pink and cutting a pink cake. It\'d have been truly hilarious."
"You really know how to hold grudges and that\'s why I don\'t trust you with my bachelor\'s party," stated Xin Xiaoli without flinching.
Ying shrugged her shoulders, "Who cares? You can\'t do anything about it since I\'m the only one who is willing to throw that bachelor\'s party for you."
Xin Xiaoli looked at his brother and Dylan. Both of them received a warning glare from Ying and immediately shook their heads trying to cower back. They weren\'t crazy to go and find trouble with Yan Ying. As simple and cordial as she looked, every single person knew she was a twisted case.
Xin Xiaoli opened his mouth to reproach these two traitors when Ying\'s cellphone rang again. But this time, it was an incoming call. He stayed quiet in the end and let Ying take the call.
At first, Ying had no plan of leaving her food to check the phone again but when she saw the caller id, she sprinted off her chair and hurriedly greeted, "Aiyo, my grandma has such a long life. I was just thinking about you."
"If you don\'t even know how to lie, why do you even bother?" came the reply which instantly shut Ying\'s mouth.
Coughing slightly, Ying didn\'t let the embarrassment of being seen so accurately sink in. "Then may I know why is my reverent grandma looking for me so early in the morning?"
"Around 11, see me at Snow Blossom Tea House."
Ying\'s lips parted to say something but...
"Don\'t be late or you won\'t like the consequences."
With that, the call was hung up leaving Ying to clench the porcelain cup filled with soymilk in her hand. She didn\'t even realize how much strength she used until...
*Crunch!*
Ying looked at the soymilk that spilled on the back of her hand along with the broken pieces of porcelain. She lifted her eyes to see three pairs of eyes looking weirdly at her and laughed it off saying, "This old cutlery is really weak. I\'ll buy you a new and sturdy set later. For now, I\'ll take my leave."
