She Belongs To Me Ch. 8

It’s chapter 8 ya’ll.

I literally translated this after I released chapter 7. My entire release schedule was kinda ruined so after ch6 release, I no longer had a chapter stockpile. so…….. cue me translating this in the middle of the night to some bangin’ K/DA.

Villain anyone? Great song IMO.

Ko-fi and discord are at the bottom i feel like if people are going to join they might as well join via the bottom.

still looking for a proofreader, although you would only be getting ch. about 2-3 days before while i sort out my new schedule.

enjoy~

The two did not make an appointment in advance, and had a quick meal together. Lu Xingxue asked Jiang Ci’s opinion, and Jiang Ci suggested that it is better to go to Lin Ji.
　　Lin Ji has been around for a long time, because the dishes are very good, so as long as Jiang Ci is in G city, she always comes to patronize at intervals.
　　
　　The welcoming manager knew this regular customer. As soon as Jiang Ci entered the door, she smiled and greeted: “Come over for dinner with friends today?”
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue heard Jiang Ci say: “Ah, yes.”
　　 Under the guidance of the waiter, she sat down with Jiang Ci.
　　
　　 Jiang Ci is already familiar with the menu here. After recommending a few dishes to Lu Xingxue, she found that there was a missed call from the person in charge of the record store on her phone, so she got up and went to call back.
　　
　　 When she came back, the food had already been ordered. Lu Xingxue asked her, “Jiang Ci, where’s the ring?”
　　 Jiang Ci almost choked before replying: “What ring?”
　　 Lu Xingxue: “Did you go out with a wedding ring?”
　　 Jiang Ci’s gaze fell on Lu Xingxue’s fingers, and Lu Xingxue did not wear a ring. Jiang Ci said, “No, why?”
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue: “Because you have been in the water… I was worried it fell in the aquarium.”
　　 Jiang Ci said clearly: “I don’t wear a ring very much for the convenience of work. But… don’t you think the wedding ring you prepared, um, the diamond on it is a little exaggerated?”
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue stared at her, “You don’t like it?”
　　Jiang Ci: “……”
　　Jiang Ci: “I like it.”
　　
　　 Jiang Ci’s “like” duplicity is too obvious, Lu Xingxue leaned back in the chair, tilted his head, and the light was reflected in her eyes, bright, full of flowing smiles.
　　
　　 The sky is dark outside. There are very few stars in the sky above the city, but the ground is bright with lights, and the night breeze blows into the restaurant, where moving piano music is playing.
　　
　　 For all the time Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue have known each other, it is rare to have such a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
　　 “Did Aunt Yun tell you about it?” Lu Xingxue’s lips continued to rise: “It’s too long, I have forgotten.”
　　 Jiang Ci swirled the red wine in the glass: “Secretly made friends with the sleepy bug, like what Lu Xingxue would say.”
　　 [TN: Pretty sure she is talking about the story Aunt Yu told Jiang Ci a few chapters ago]

　　 Jiang Ci held her face after drinking only a few mouthfuls, but a thin red appeared on her cheeks.
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue put down the spoon and leaned forward, with a little temptation that is imperceptible: “Then do you want to know that Lu Xingxue who is friends with the sleepy bug?”
　　 Her eyes didn’t blink, and her voice was soft and gentle when she said her name. Whether it is sight or hearing, it is too sultry. Jiang Ci felt butterflies in her stomach.
　　
　　 Jiang Ci drank, and returned a soft “en” from her nose.
　　
　　 With the affirmative answer, Lu Xingxue pursed her lips and smiled, then her eyes rolled: “How about you?”
　　 Jiang Ci puts down the glass: “Me?”
　　 Lu Xingxue: “What did you look like when you were a kid?”
　　
　　 The smile on Jiang Ci’s lips gradually faded. For her childhood memories, most of her impressions were scenes with Wen Nian.
　　 This where Wen Nian cannot be avoiden. Jiang Ci is unwilling to think about it. Just about to say something else, Wen Nian’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.
　　
　　 “Ah-Ci.”
　　
　　 Before Jiang Ci could react, she pressed her hands on her shoulders: “The manager said that you are here. I thought she was joking with me on purpose.-It’s been a long time, Miss. Lu.”
　　
　　 Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue looked up at the same time.
　　
　　 Almond eyes, petal lips, Wen Nian is a little thinner, her hair is cut off her shoulders, her long slender earrings hang on her collarbone, her skirt is tucked in her waist, and her belly is still not visible.
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue nodded: “Hello.”
　　 “…Are you alone?” Jiang Ci stood up, and Wen Nian’s hand slipped along her arm.
　　
　　 “With friends.” Wen Nian gestured to the table not far behind, and Jiang Ci followed along and looked at the two strange faces.
　　 That’s right, she and Wen Nian have already passed the stage of “I know your friends”. Different life trajectories have fewer and fewer intersections.
　　
　　 “Drinking? Drink less, you can get drunk when you drink red wine.” Wen Nian puts Jiang Ci’s face on the back of her hand, “Look, your face is already red.”
　　 Jiang Ci rolled her eyes: “I didn’t drink much. But it doesn’t matter if I get drunk, Lu Xingxue is here.”
　　 Wen Nian said to Lu Xingxue: “Listen, it seems that she is determined to trouble you today.”
　　 Lu Xingxue sat down, grinned, and said slowly: “It’s not troublesome, she has a good wine, and I will go back to rest earlier.”
　　 Wen Nian: “Yes. Ah-Ci, you eat slowly, next time we find time to come out for tea and chat.”
　　
After Wen Nian left, Jiang Ci sat down again, but the relaxed and pleasant dining atmosphere disappeared.
　　 Wen Nian stayed in her heart for too long, entangled too deeply, and suddenly showed up in front of her , Jiang Ci could hardly not be affected by her.
　　
　　 What did you eat next?
　　
　　 Wen Nian is so close to her, and from time to time there will be faint laughter coming from that table. Jiang Ci’s thoughts inevitably drift to their table, what are they talking about, can it really be so happy?
　　 Jiang Ci lifted up the wine glass as a cover, but before the mouth of the glass touched her lips, she remembered Wen Nian’s words that she was easy to get drunk when drinking red wine.
　　
　　……
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue saw Jiang Ci’s frowning eyebrows, her drooping eyebrows, and watched her run the full gamut of emotions.
　　
　　 After requesting the check, the waiter told Jiang Ci that someone had paid the bill ahead of time. Jiang Ci turned around, and Wen Nian came into contact with her line of sight, smiled and waved goodbye to her.
　　
　　Leaving the restaurant, Wei Ning was already waiting outside. The two got in the car one after another. Wei Ning asked them what arrangements they had next. Lu Xingxue looked at Jiang Ci, and Jiang Ci said softly, “Go home.”
　　 Lu Xingxue: “Then, I will also go home.”
　　
　　 Jiang Ci lowered the car window, and the night breeze blew her face.
　　
Because of Wen Nian’s appearance, a good dinner became anticlimactic. Jiang Ci knew that her restless behavior was disrespectful to Lu Xingxue; Lu Xingxue must have seen it all, but it gave her plenty of room. ——The more Lu Xingxue cooperates like this, the more Jiang Ci feels sorry.
　　 She thought she should say something to express my apologies, but she was not in the mood.
　　
　　 When Jiang Ci was about to get home, the vibration of the phone came out of her bag. At first she didn’t want to pay attention to it, facing the thick night outside the window, but when she suddenly realized something, she couldn’t help but let out an “ah”.
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue asked with her eyes.
　　
　　 “Huo Zhenzhen…” Jiang Ci fished out the phone, and it turned out that it was Huo Zhenzhen’s call. She almost forgot that they had arranged a supper together.
　　 Jiang Ci hesitated: “…Lu Xingxue, someone would like to have a supper, do you want to go together?”
　　
　　-
　　
Huo Zhenzhen’s tattoo studio was opened in a very lively night market street. When Jiang Ci led Lu Xingxue upstairs, the fast-paced dance music in the closed shop was deafening, and someone shouted loudly: “You just fell in love last time. It happened in kindergarten! I told you that my first love was in elementary school! Elementary school! Drink it, and quickly drink the rest of the bottle!”
　　
　　 The reclining chair in the center of the shop is covered with a tablecloth to serve as a temporary dining table, and several young people are having fun.
　　
As soon as Jiang Ci appeared, Huo Zhenzhen urged to turn off the music: “Our baby’s ears have been tired for a day, and we have to rest.-Hurry up, Ah-Ci come to me!”
　　 The music really stopped in the next second, Jiang Ci smiled, turned around and waited for Lu Xingxue to enter.
　　
Huo Zhenzhen originally left only one vacant seat for Jiang Ci. Seeing this, she drove away the small A who was sitting on the other side of her, and then moved a place to give them a space. Two seats together.
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue’s style of dress and the tattoo shop are in two worlds, everyone inevitably praises her and roars: “…Sister Ah-Ci has brought new friends!”
　　 Huo Zhen raised his chin and corrected: “Be careful when you speak, what friend, that’s your sister Ah-Ci’s wife, the kind who got the certificate!”
　　 Everyone: “…Wow!”
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue politely said: “My name is Lu, a pleasure to meet you.”
　　 Everyone: “Hello Xiaolu-jie.”
　　 Huo Zhenzhen knocked them one by one: “What Xiaolu-jie! Xiaolu-jie! It’s Chief Lu! Chief Lu!”
　　 Everyone was very supportive, and immediately changed their words: “Chief Lu is good.”
　　
　　 Jiang Ci picked up Huo Zhenzhen’s beer can while shaking it and asked, “How much have you drunk?”
　　
“Not much!” Huo Zhenzhen guarded her beer, turned her head and stuck to Jiang Ci’s ear and whispered: “What’s the matter with Lu Xingxue, you have been together recently? I’ve seen you two more in the past month than in the last few years

　　Huo Zhenzhen only knew that they got married because their elders had a promise. At the beginning, she also strongly opposed it, and loved freedom! Freedom to get married! But Jiang Ci insisted on knotting, and she did nothing. Arranged marriages have no emotional foundation, and Jiang Ci didn’t mention Lu Xingxue in front of her after their marriage—not to mention a warm thought in the middle, so Huo Zhenzhen always thought that the two of them have cold feelings.
　　
　　 Jiang Ci lowered her voice: “It’s all coincidence.”
　　
　　 Huo Zhenzhen did not comment on this, and raised the bottle and said: “Everyone is here, let’s go.”
　　 “Walk!” Everyone responded.
　　
This is the first time Jiang Ci has brought Lu Xingxue to a friend party. She didn’t know if she liked this atmosphere. Huo Zhenzhen said that she was drinking, Jiang Ci turned his head, and Lu Xingxue was drinking very well, with her neck slightly raised. , The jawline is delicate and clear.
　　
　　 Jiang Ci’s expression was a little surprised. Lu Xingxue removed the bottle and asked her: “…Is something wrong with me?”
　　 The two of them were sitting close together, Lu Xingxue lowered her head slightly to speak, and the tip of her nose almost touched Jiang Ci’s earlobe.
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue exudes perfume, not strong, but very attractive to smell.
　　 “…” Jiang Ci cleared her throat: “I just drank red wine, if you don’t want to drink it here, you can skip it.”
　　 Lu Xingxue: “These amounts are okay.”
　　
　　 They faced each other while talking in a low voice, falling into the eyes of Du Xiaomeng, the front desk of the tattoo shop sitting opposite them: “His—to our group of singles, are you two unconscious?”
　　 Huo Zhenzhen urged narrowly: “What should I do then?”
　　 Du Xiaomeng stood up and looked left and right: “Where is the board? Let’s play!”
　　
“What about this!” The man on Lu Xingxue’s right hand passed an erasable board to the left, and the board passed to Lu Xingxue’s hands. Du Xiaomeng immediately called to stop: “We are just playing, sister Ah-Ci also played before. Yes, I must know how to play, ——Mr. Lu, you say I listen. The simple explanation of this game is that we ask questions about you, but sister Ah-Ci will answer. In general, it is a test of two people It’s like this.”
　　 Lu Xingxue: “Wrong answer?”
　　 Du Xiaomeng: “Then have a drink!”
　　 Jiang Ci raised an objection: “I still don’t…”
　　 Seeing that she was about to run away on the spot, Huo Zhenzhen held her: “It’s just playing a game. It’s not the first time. Well, it’s a big deal. I’ll drink it for you. ——Mr. Lu, what do you say?”
　　
Jiang Ci said in his heart that she refused because the other party was Lu Xingxue. Lu Xingxue’s upbringing may not be a public disapproval, but playing this naive game is undoubtedly boring for her. of. Rather than let Lu Xingxue cater to her, it is better to let her refuse.
　　
　　 Lu Xingxue: “It sounds interesting.”
　　
　　 “…” Jiang Ci’s eyes full of disbelief completely vanished when she met Lu Xingxue’s curious eyes.
　　
　　 Huo Zhenzhen snapped his fingers: “Then I have to ask.”
Her gaze was circling between Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue. Jiang Ci suspected that she was deliberately making things difficult, so she winked away. Huo Zhenzhen decided to let her go and smiled: “Okay~ Then I will ask you. A simple… So, what color does Lu like best?”
　　
　　 Everyone applauded in unison, this question is really too much water.
　　
　　 Huo Zhenzhen “haha” smiled and motioned Lu Xingxue to write the answer on the erasable board. Lu Xingxue lowered his head and wrote two words, and the person sitting next to her took the board and showed the answer above for everyone to see.
　　 Huo Zhenzhen craned her neck and finished reading, urging Jiang Ci: “You say it.”
　　
　　 Jiang Ci wondered how “simple” this question was. She didn’t know Lu Xingxue at all, so how could she know her favorite color? …Wait, Lu Xingxue likes to go to Moby Dick, maybe she likes the sea, think of the blue light strip in Moby Dick, and Jiang Ci tries her luck.
　　
　　 “Blue.”
　　
　　 The voice fell, Huo Zhenzhen stroked her palm and laughed, Du Xiaomeng pointed to Jiang Ci: “Ah-Ci-jie, come on! Drink!”
