Between his fingers, an exquisite pocket watch was held at some point.

Does he work in that pub?

Just as Bai Yi was looking at the pub where many customers were already sitting at the door, her cell phone rang again.

"Didi."

I looked down and saw that this time it was Plane’s caller ID.

"Sister Yinuo"

Bai Yi did not doubt it and directly picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

"Sister Yinuo, you..."

"Bai Yi, where are you now?!"

It was Zuo Jiangqin's voice.

Bai Yi's body stiffened slightly. She said in disbelief,

"mom?"

"You still remember that I'm your mother? You ran out in the middle of the night and didn't come back all night. Do you know how worried I was?!"

Hearing his mother's trembling voice, Bai Yi pursed his lips, still feeling reluctant.

But at this moment, the place in my heart that was hurt by my mother's words still hurts.

The pain refused to reconcile and forced her to resist.

Even though, the result of resistance has always been the outbreak of conflict.

After a moment's silence, she finally gritted her teeth and said,

"I will go back by myself later, you don't need to come to me."

"What do you mean I don't need to come to see you! If I hadn't come to see you, I wouldn't have known you were still in contact with this Li Yinuo!"

As expected, Zuo Jiangqin was enraged by Bai Yi's resistance.

"I told you not to hang out with these shady people. You were led astray by this tattooed girl! You're leaving the right path behind and just want to fool around all day. Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you. Where the hell are you?!"

Upon hearing this, the pent-up anger in Bai Yi's heart was also ignited.

She covered her phone and yelled at the other end of the line,

"Everything is my fault, everything is someone else's fault! Have you ever done anything wrong?!"

"Tell me what I did wrong. I gave birth to you, raised you, fed you, and clothed you every day. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"you"

Bai Yi's face flushed red. She was about to say something while holding the phone when she realized that many people on the street were looking at her.

A feeling of embarrassment washed over her cheeks, and with tears in her eyes, she quickly walked towards the path next to her, holding the phone.

But it was this period of silence that made Zuo Jiangqin on the other end of the phone really angry.

She had been searching for the whole day from last night to tonight, and she thought it was all caused by Bai Yi's ignorance.

"Look at you. You don't attend classes properly, you don't participate in activities properly, and you're half-hearted about everything you do. Don't I feel anxious seeing you do this? Even after I say a few words to you, you still don't like it. Do I have to worship you?!"

"Do I need you to do this? You clearly haven't asked for my opinion on anything! Whether it's participating in various activities or going to Totsuki, everything is decided by you! Since you have decided everything, then just do it. Why do you need me to do anything?"

"Who do you think I'm doing this for? It's all for your own good! You look down on these resources, but they can't even beg for them! Do you know how many favors your uncle owes you? Do you think it's that easy to get into the entertainment industry?"

At this moment, on the other end of the phone, in a room on the second floor of a tattoo shop, a group of policemen and a tattooed woman with colorful hair and lip piercings who was surrounded by the policemen sighed at the same time.

I have already told Zuo Jiangqin that she must persuade the child to come back first.

But when Zuo Jiangqin heard the chaotic noise over there and thought of Bai Yi's ignorance, he became furious.

Especially after being talked back by Bai Yi, his anger grew even more.

"You have me and your Uncle Jiang helping you out, but does Yan Huan from your school have that? He has no parents and still has to work to make ends meet! If you don't want to go into showbiz and aren't satisfied with our arrangements, fine! Then why don't you make some achievements in something else?"

"You've been a complete mess academically since you were little! You love writing songs, but how many people buy into your songwriting? Good songs require distribution and exposure, let alone your mediocre songs! You can't do anything right, yet you still want to talk about this and that. Why are there so many problems to discuss? Let me ask you, huh?!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was already muffled due to the mask covering her mouth and nose, and listening to her mother denying everything she had chosen made her even more breathless.

Especially, when she finally hears her mother comment on her songs.

Of course I felt angry and had so many things to say, but for some reason, I couldn't hold back my tears.

"Zuo Jiangqin, I really hate you the most"

The next second, she suddenly threw the phone in her hand away.

"boom!"

The phone, without a case, instantly fell against the wall, and the glass screen cracked violently and fell heavily to the ground.

Inside, Zuo Jiangqin's voice came intermittently.

".Give it to me. Do you hear me?"

Then, the screen went out completely and the sound stopped.

Bai Yi leaned against the wall with his head lowered. Drops of water gathered on the inside of his sunglasses, then poured down and dripped onto his mask.

Her body gradually softened, and the body leaning against the wall slid down little by little, and finally she sat on the ground.

Hugging her knees, she finally couldn't help crying.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooo."

She really didn't know what to do, what to do to satisfy her mother.

She knew that she was not studying hard enough, and she knew that the road to stardom was not easy, and that everything would not go as planned.

But does all this really contradict what you want?

She just didn't want to be compared with Yan Huan anymore, and didn't want to listen to her mother constantly praising others for being superior and telling her to learn from them.

She just wanted to do something she liked and wanted her mother to listen carefully to the songs she wrote and say "not bad".

But she never got what she wanted.

She got it from beginning to end

Only negation.

"Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo."

"Click."

Just as Bai Yi was crying on this unknown path, the door on the side path suddenly opened.

Bai Yi quickly raised her head. Through the double cover of tears and sunglasses, she could only vaguely see a figure wearing a bartender's uniform and carrying a garbage bag.

The other party seemed slightly stunned as well, not expecting that there was someone crying here.

Then, a familiar voice came.

"Miss, this is where you throw away trash, you can't sit here."

"."

No, Lin Bei is very sad here. Are you asking Lin Bei if he can sit here?

Bai Yi looked up blankly.

When she raised her head and adjusted the angle, she could see the smiling boy from a clear spot on her lens that was not stained by tears.

Is it Yan Huan? !

This... this is the back door of the tavern where he works!

At this moment, he had walked to Bai Yi's side and threw the garbage into the trash can next to her.

Bai Yi wanted to get up and leave, but then he heard him say,

"Would you like to take a break in the store?

"."

Bai Yi sniffed and shook his head imperceptibly.

She raised her finger and wiped the inside of her sunglasses, then pointed to the phone next to her awkwardly and said softly,

"My phone is broken. I can't pay."

"It's okay, there's no charge for sitting for a while."

Yan Huan smiled slightly and picked up the broken phone that had fallen to the ground for her.

Then, he handed it to her.

"There's still room in the store. If it gets too crowded, it's not too late to leave."

Bai Yi raised his eyes and looked at him, not knowing what to choose for a moment.

However, Yan Huan just put the phone heavily into her hand, then walked in front to lead the way.

"follow me."

".Um."

Bai Yi had no choice but to follow.

Entering from the back door of the pub, this is the inner side with one or two tables. Normally, there are no customers coming here. Only the drunkard Tong Yingying would drink here secretly.

Yan Huan asked Bai Yi to sit here and rest, and said,

"This is the South District, young lady. You'd better be careful in the side streets and alleys. Don't go there alone. Do you understand?"

I filled a cup of warm water and handed it to her, also giving her a straw.

"People in the South District don't care if you cover your face or not. For them, it's as exciting as opening a blind box."

"Uh-huh."

Looking at the hot water in front of him, Bai Yi didn't drink it, but turned his head to look at him beside him.

The closer he got, the more Bai Yi felt that it was true that he was spotted by the leader of the station at first sight.

Ha, he's such a good student and can even be the student union president.

As Bai Yi thought about it, he felt more and more sad.

Her mother's words were like a scalpel, cutting open everything in her heart.

Even her only love, singing, was denied, she really didn't know.

"Ding ding."

There was a ringing sound from the store, but Bai Yi didn't know what it meant. He just heard Yan Huan say,

"Then you can sit here for a while. You can leave at any time. Remember to be careful when you leave."

She lowered her head, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked in a hoarse voice,

"Well, you look really handsome. Didn't any talent scouts come looking for you to be a star?"

“Well, there are some.”

“…Then why don’t you go?”

Yan Huan blinked and was about to say something when the ringing sounded again.

He turned his head to take a look, then turned back to look at the girl in front of him who lowered her head and curled up subconsciously.

It looks like he was really hit hard.

The closer and more knowledgeable someone is to you, the deeper the hurt they cause you.

In fact, Yan Huan heard the conversation between her and her mother just now.

Seeing that she didn't catch up, Yan Huan was still wondering where she had gone.

But it is impossible to take the initiative to find her, so I will just work and see how the situation goes.

Who knew that when I was about to throw away the garbage, I ate the melon

He seemed to roughly understand why Bai Yi hated him so much.

Can you say it's entirely her fault?
