Chapter 31: The voice in our head
----
Since the first time she remembered, Lan Zhuang always told her not to attend any field trip. As her world revolved around her childhood friends, Wei Yi Yi did not doubt why she couldn't.
When they attended the same school, it was then that Wei Yi Yi finally experienced school activities.
"I'll just buy something." Si Song suddenly tap Wei Yi Yi.
They are currently waiting in line at the ticket booth. The amusement park is the last stop in the given program.
Without shifting her eyes from her phone, Wei Yi Yi simply gave a nod. She was ranking up solo in game. It was the late game, both side down with just three turrets.
Wei Yi Yi unleash her expertise in playing in public. She would move when the line move and would step aside when there's people who try to pass thru. But most on her attention is still on her game.
Her favorite hero, ruby, dance beautifully on the battle ground. The small and petite girl protected and created opportunities for her teammates.
And then she couldn't tap the controls anymore----
What the fudge?!
An incoming call pop out of the screen. Her eye twitched in annoyance. She answered the phone when she saw the caller's ID.
"Yi yi! Are you still on the line? Help me get a ticket then meet me on the south gate!" Si Song shouted on the line.
"Southgate?! The fudge is that store? What did you really buy?"
She looked over at the three with her. Out of four choices, that seesaw dare to choose her! And didn't he said he's just buying something?! They're at north gate!
"I'm with senior. Ho ho ho." Without any ounce of guilt, Si Song drop the call.
When Wei Yi Yi screen returned to the game, she cried bitter tears. She was reported for AFK.

"The two of them run off on their own." He Ling while waving at Qing Xiang. She came and drag Lan Zhuang away for a date.
"So now it's just us single dogs? What are we riding?" said Ye Ming. He survey the area. Do not doubt for a moment that this guy is single. It just so happened that he's into older girls right now.
Ye Ming saw the tallest ride in full view. Looking over at He Ling who give him an enthusiastic nod, they immediately made up their mind and proudly pointed it for Wei Yi Yi to see.
It was a horror themed roller coaster.
"No way!" Wei Yi Yi heart jumped at her throat.
Knowing her reaction, the two grabbed each of her arm to pull. "Yes way! The three of us should stick together Yi Yi! Let's go!"
"What stick together? That thing is two sitter! Two sitter you hear me! In the end you will leave me alone in the back so no way!"
She knew their hidden motive so well!
"Struggle is futile dear sister."

The following days, the servants inside the Xian Feng palace were hot on their heels.
The empress returned to her smiling mood and clamly stayed on her palace. Except going for her morning run, all her activities remain inside her palace.
Afraid that they might trigger her majesty's anger, they were careful on each step. But when the empress act casually with them, they started to doubt themselves. Were that morning really happened?
Suddenly, they do not know how to serve their empress!
As for Tang Mei, she does not know where to worry about. Is the empress really fine by now? She's obediently staying at her chamber and not running about, picking people and things!
Maybe, the empress is still upset at Xiao Yuan Xi!
If Wei Yi Yi knew that her maidservant permanently listed her on people who made trouble on daily basis, she would cry injustice.
You people are just too stiff! She's playing normally even by herself!
Actually, Wei Yi Yi is far from calm. If you ask her why she's staying indoor, she would tell you honestly; Yi Yi is hiding from boss!
Burying her face on her blanket, she shouted herself silly.
Ah! Aaahhh!! An evil spirit must have possessed her! What bengong?! What pheonix and empress?! She felt so chuuni! What are we? Filming a film?!
Don't tell her that it's normal sentencing here! She came from somewhere else ah! Those language are only spoken by chuunibyous!
Remembering her home and her buddies, her shouts turn to sobs.
She knew of her temper and back them, there are Lan Zhuang and the others to bail her out. They would take her side and protect her. Despite them always one uping each other, they wouldn't allow strangers to bully them.
She's homesick! Homesick! I don't want to adjust! Take her home instead and be done with it!
Feeling some homesickness and remembering her embarrassing actions, Wei Yi Yi shifted from crying to shouting and repeating the cycle.
One time, she's angry at her actions, saying it's irrational. Then she would tell herself that she'll get it from boss. Another time, she would pumped herself saying it's that woman fault and her boss would take her side.
Her silly actions sent her dead tired. She tirelessly rest her head at the nearest poll and looked outside.
This is why office quarrels are not allowed ah! An internal secretariat actually fought with a work force! Silly! Silly her!
Ah! Let's calm down, ok?!
Wei Yi Yi was busy with her inner fight when Jiang Yu stepped inside her palace.
The emperor wave his hand and stopped the servant from announcing his arrival. Dismissing the servants, he stepped inside his empress' bed chamber alone.
Wei Yi Yi wore a light sleeping robe that lay loosely on her body. When the light breeze blow, it would flutter by the wind and reveal her grow up figure. The cloth lightly hug her. Her long silky black hair scattered all over the bed in a beautiful messy matter.
When his empress did not notice his arrival, Jiang Yu lightly shrugged it off and stepped closer. He was immediately stopped on his tracks when he saw her state.
Jiang Yu saw as tears tread down on her face. Her cheeks have a hint of red and she was bitting her small lips with indignantion. Under the moonlight, her tear glimmer and captivate him.
He looked. But dare not reach out. With one last look. He step back and lightly close the door.
