Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 529 Overthinking
Yi Wenna stared blankly at Ai Liang's back, lost in endless daydreams, a lovesick smile spreading across her face.

"Why did you stop talking?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Coming to her senses, Yi Wenna quickly wiped away her drool and returned a bright smile: "It's nothing, I was just..."

Yi Wenna continued talking about the trivial things that happened at school last week.

No matter how boring the story, as long as Ye Qing wanted to hear it, she would talk about it patiently.

Yi Wenna was right; Ye Qing had indeed discovered her good qualities.

They're naive and easily fooled.

If you asked someone else about what happened last week, they would definitely become suspicious.

But with Yi Wenna, as soon as Ye Qing asked a question, she would talk on and on about what happened in the class last week, as if she was afraid that the conversation would end.

There's no better target for getting information out of her than this girl.

After having breakfast at the ramen shop, the three of them went into the classroom and took out their textbooks from their desks.

Ye Qing had already learned most of the recent events from Yi Wenna.

Apart from the altered memories of Peng Yuan, all other memories were normal.

Ye Qing didn't know exactly how many people were affected, but she was certain that the people around her, as well as Yu Xin and Yi Zhiwei in the office last weekend, definitely had memory problems.

For those with mental abilities, the ability to modify memories is not a problem even if it's not face-to-face.

Ye Qing, whose skills were not suited to the task, had no idea where to begin her investigation.

She could only hope that Zhu Lan would use special methods to find some clues.

........................

The day's classes ended quickly.

Ye Qing, who had been hiding her feelings all day, couldn't help but feel a little anxious at the thought of meeting Zhu Lan soon.

However, she was quick-witted and swiftly covered it up with the exam paper in front of her.

"I'm already busy enough with work, and when I get home I still have to do my homework. Sigh."

Ye Qing stuffed the test paper into Yi Wenna's handbag.

Of the three, only Yi Wenna carried a schoolbag to and from school; the other two did not.

Ai Liang doesn't need to. He usually spends ten minutes before the first class to write down the homework assigned in the last class of the previous day.

Ye Qing had a habit of finding a book and taking the unfinished test papers from school back with her.

Only Yi Wenna, who is relatively a poor student, needs to study hard until midnight every night after returning home.

In the top classes, the closer the exam gets, the more homework is assigned.

Yi Wenna looked at the three test papers on her desk with a sorrowful expression: "You only have one test paper left..."

"Anyway, you don't have to attend night study sessions anymore, so you have several hours to do your homework after dinner."

Ye Qing took out her phone and glanced at the text message: "By the way, you two don't need to wait for me for dinner tonight. The warehouse is a bit short-staffed, and I'm going to the supermarket to help out later."

Yi Wenna was stunned. She turned to look at Ye Qing, who raised her hand, first pointing at Ai Liang and then at herself: "That means it's just him and me tonight..."

Before Yi Wenna could finish speaking, Ai Liang interrupted her again: "I also have some things to take care of in a while. You should be able to order takeout yourself, or you can just eat dinner at school before going back."

Yi Wenna froze again, her gaze shifting between Ai Liang and Ye Qing, stammering, "No, you, I...you two..."

"Ah Liang, you don't seem to have anything urgent, do you?" Ye Qing asked, puzzled.

Ai Liang didn't say what she was going to do: "I have some personal matters to take care of, and I probably won't be back until around nine o'clock. You can wait if you don't mind."

This was said to Evanna.

Hearing Ai Liang's lame excuse, Yi Wenna's face immediately fell.

Ai Liang's words made it sound like he'd rather go out than have dinner with Ye Qing if she wasn't around.

Especially since he mentioned a specific time, Yi Wenna couldn't possibly be so shameless as to wait until after 9 p.m. to have dinner, could she?
"Hmph! Got it!"

Yi Wenna gave a cold snort, clearly annoyed.

Although she outwardly appeared disdainful, she was actually quite annoyed by Ai Liang's subtle disdain.

This isn't a matter of liking or disliking; anyone would react the same way if they encountered obvious discrimination in life.

When the group reached the bus stop, Yi Wenna, who was carrying her schoolbag, suddenly noticed a blind spot.

Isn't it too much of a coincidence that Ye Qing and Ai Liang both said they had something to do at the same time?
Are they planning to sneak out and have fun without telling me?
"Xiao Qing! I want to go see where you work!" Yi Wenna said, grabbing Ye Qing's arm with one hand.

Ye Qingxin's heart sank, but she pretended to be calm and said, "What are you doing here? Aren't you going to do your homework? Or are you planning to stay up until midnight before going to sleep?"

I'm really busy here and don't have time to chat with you.

The more Ye Qing declined, the more uneasy Yi Wenna became: "It's nothing, I just went to take a look. Maybe I can be of some help!"

"you?"

Ye Qing looked Yi Wenna up and down: "With your skinny arms and legs, you can barely change a water bottle in the water dispenser, how can you help out in the warehouse?"

Yi Wenna bit her lip: "Isn't the supermarket short-staffed? I can help check the orders, or at the very least, I can temporarily fill in at the checkout."

"No need. Supermarkets don't need that many cashiers. By the time we've taught you how to operate the POS system, they've already checked out and left at the self-checkout counters next door."

Ye Qing, looking helpless, advised Yi Wenna: "Other people check the orders before and after moving the goods. I can do it myself, why do you need to?"

Of all times, why did they have to come today, just when I was supposed to be discussing an important matter with Zhu Lan?

As Ye Qing pondered, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned to look at Ai Liang beside her, then at the distracted Yi Wenna, and suddenly realized what was going on.

So you thought I made a pact with Ai Liang to leave you behind and go out?

Faced with this reason, Ye Qing was speechless.

She patted Yi Wenna's head as if comforting a pet: "Sweetie~ I'm not busy until midnight. I'll be done around 7 o'clock, and I'll definitely be home before 8:30."

Yi Wenna was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

"what?"

Ye Qing tilted her head and called out as well.

Yi Wenna looked behind Ye Qing and saw Ai Liang getting into a taxi.

Realizing she had misunderstood, she waved her hands repeatedly: "Oh no! I mean, well... since you're not particularly busy, I'll just wait for you at home."

To cover up her embarrassment, Yi Wenna added, "Xiao Qing, what would you like to eat? I'll order takeout and we can eat together."

Ye Qing refused Yi Wenna without hesitation: "No thanks, no thanks. You're obviously someone who's never done heavy work before. You've just finished and you don't have an appetite. You eat first, I'll have a late-night snack later... Hmm? Where's A Liang?"

When the bus arrived at the stop, Ye Qing turned around and realized that Ai Liang had disappeared at some point.

The computer is working fine, and everything in my life is fine too. I'll try my best to update this month!
