Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 172: Let's Talk, Li Mubai, Vice Mirror Unlocked!

"Is... is that so? He called you, huh? Uh... ah, don't be mad at me, I care about you, that's what he said... "

"Ah... ah, Jiajia... I... I'm not saying he's not good, I just..."

"Yes, yes, I don't understand, that's... well, it's hard to say."

"But... we have to put an end to this relationship eventually..."

Tong Lin hurriedly rushed over and saw Ouyang Yi standing alone at the entrance of the shopping plaza, talking on the phone while her expression kept changing.

She had a rough idea in her heart. Lin Jiajia probably didn't find Li Mubai and that woman here.

Although she couldn't guess who exactly it was, Tong Lin had all sorts of speculations in her mind, either Yun Wuyue or Lin Jiayin.

But as she saw Lin Jiajia's increasingly impatient expression and the occasional glimmer in her eyes, Tong Lin took a deep breath and slowly walked towards her.

If it weren't for being in a public place, Ouyang Yi would have wanted to jump into Tong Lin's arms.

But Tong Lin showed no intention of that.

"Why did you come so late?"

Ouyang Yi's tone carried a hint of blame. Normally, Tong Lin would have started saying nice things to appease Ouyang Yi's emotions.

But today, Tong Lin didn't speak directly.

Because she knew deeply what Li Mubai had gone through.

Compared to Li Mubai going shopping with a woman, she was more concerned about what Li Mubai was going to do.

Unconsciously, she found herself standing in the same position as Lin Jiajia.

Given her relationship with Ouyang Yi, this was absolutely unacceptable.

The reason being...

It was because Ouyang Yi was clearly obstructing Li Mubai now.

Taking a deep breath, Tong Lin patiently said, "Xiao Yi, stop meddling in Lin Jiajia and Mubai's affairs, okay?"

It was this sentence.

Or rather, the way Tong Lin addressed Li Mubai in this sentence.

That made Ouyang Yi's eyes suddenly narrow.

"What... did you say?"

Tong Lin looked at Ouyang Yi's gaze and involuntarily started to dodge, her expression changing accordingly.

"Um... I mean, Xiao Yi, don't interfere in their affairs."

"Not that, it's the name of Lin Jiajia's boyfriend." Ouyang Yi squinted at Tong Lin's eyes.

"Oh... Do you know him?" Ouyang Yi's tone suddenly became aggressive.

"And you're familiar with him?"

Tong Lin continued to avoid eye contact, and Ouyang Yi suddenly smiled and walked away.

They say what goes around comes around.

At this moment, silence spoke louder than words. This trick that Tong Lin used to deal with Ouyang Yi in the past seemed to have been learned by Ouyang Yi now.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi!"

Stunned in place for about ten seconds, Tong Lin finally reacted and chased after that small figure.

It was already winter.

Night had fallen.

Under the flickering lights, Tong Lin realized that Ouyang Yi's walking speed hadn't changed at all compared to before.

This indicated an attitude.

Ouyang Yi wouldn't wait for her, nor would she avoid her. Her attitude was clear.

"Let me give you a ride."

Standing in front of Ouyang Yi, Tong Lin held back for a long time before uttering these four words.

Not trying to keep you.

Ouyang Yi continued to smile, and her calm eyes seemed to contain an unimaginable storm.

She didn't say "no need," but instead fell into deep thought.

It seemed like she was thinking about how to ask a question that would directly address the root of the problem without wasting words.

Ouyang Yi continued walking forward, and Tong Lin followed with light footsteps.

In a sense, this hidden relationship of theirs came to an end under the night sky tonight.

The most obvious factor was Ouyang Yi's attitude at this moment.

Carefree.

The most straightforward was the atmosphere floating between the two of them.

What Ouyang Yi displayed was not a complete denial or rejection.

It felt more like something that had already ended a long time ago, something that had been almost given up on...

Tong Lin felt a sense of relief in her heart.

As long as it didn't cause too much harm to Ouyang Yi, that was good.

Compensation and such didn't matter.

"Just tell me one thing, and I'll let you go."

Abruptly.

Ouyang Yi stopped walking and echoed.

Her tone was flat and straightforward, as if her emotions were suppressed to the necessary minimum.

Tong Lin swallowed her saliva and nodded after a while.

"Tell me, I know everything, I'll tell you."

Ouyang Yi smiled and said, "Tell me about Li Mubai."

...Flowers please...

"Tell me about his past, tell me about his good qualities, tell me how he managed to steal away my best friend and my most intimate lover without me knowing, without anyone knowing."

"I can tell you, but... Xiaoyi, you must promise me not to tell anyone else."

The two walked side by side on the road at night.

The commercial center of the imperial capital was already a bustling place, with a constant flow of people and vehicles.

But Ouyang Yi felt like she was walking in a world apart.

Although Tong Lin didn't answer her previous questions, this sentence had already made everything clear.

Tong Lin didn't know Li Mubai.

And she had a strong interest in Li Mubai, or rather, she had successfully turned Tong Lin's attention away.

"Alright, I just want to know."

Right away.

Tong Lin recounted everything she knew about Li Mubai's past, what happened that night, and Li Mubai's experiences, in a fair and objective manner.

"Ding! Ouyang Yi blesses the host with +90 luck, host's luck value +30, protagonist Ye Feng's luck value -25."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a reward of 9000 yuan."

Jinshui Qianwan.

Li Mubai listened to the system prompt and raised an eyebrow.

The next second.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Ouyang Yi's blessing to the host's luck has reached the maximum value of 100, achieving the achievement [Flowing Peach Blossoms]! Protagonist Ye Feng's luck value is reduced by an additional 100."

[Flowing Peach Blossoms]: Ouyang Yi's blessing to the host's luck will no longer decrease, and it will continue to increase the host's luck. This can earn rewards such as skill experience points and free attribute points!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully unlocking the [Charming Beauty Illustration] sub-illustration nine - Ouyang Yi!
