After Being Transported to a Beastman World with My Bestie - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The next morning, I was jolted awake by a call from Cen Yu.

On the other end, she sounded like she was grinding her teeth. “Run. Run right now!”

“What happened?”

“I still haven’t forgiven him for starving me every night, and now he’s been exposed for spending the night with the woman he’d always idealized!”

“That damn bastard. And here I was, at first, suspecting he was just impotent. Turns out the jerk was saving himself for another woman.”

“I could’ve put up with the whole caged canary script. Whatever, I wasn’t losing out. But now it’s a stand-in script? And I’m a stand-in who didn’t even get any benefits? Even this beastman world is playing things this messy. I’m done serving him!”

Listening to her unload with righteous fury, I scrambled out of bed without wasting a second. “Don’t do anything rash yet. I’m coming over now.”

After all, both of our men were elite beastmen and lived in the same villa district.

It only took me five minutes to get to her place.

“Is it true?” In my impression, while He Nan was kind of a doofus, he had always treated Cen Yu well.

Cen Yu nodded. “He still hasn’t come back. What do you think?”

When Cen Yu called him, all she got was a rushed, “Meeting. Hanging up.”

After that, she couldn’t get through again.

Then, early that morning, she saw on the TV news that popular young actress Qiao Xin had returned to China for her career, and a crowd of elites had rushed to the airport to welcome her.

Among the people there to pick her up was, unmistakably, He Nan’s face.

At this point, Cen Yu could no longer hold back the sob in her voice. “He clearly told me he was in a meeting. And then? The meeting moved to the airport? A man who doesn’t cherish himself is worse than rotten cabbage! I must have been blind to ever think he was handsome.”

“We’re leaving right now. I’ve already prepared the money.”

I froze, suddenly stumbling over my words. “R-right now?”

She looked surprised. “You can’t bear to leave?”

My waist and hands were still sore. If I said I couldn’t, wouldn’t that make me look like I had some kind of masochistic streak?

I shook my head decisively. “Of course not. I just haven’t saved enough money yet.”

“It’s fine. I have some.” Cen Yu pointed at the suitcase. “It’s all hard currency. Don’t worry.”

“Wait. Before we go, I need to leave He Nan something.”

I watched her very coolly rip off a sheet of paper and write in bold, sweeping strokes: [A good-for-nothing embroidered pillow. This lady is running away! Goodbye!]

She let out a long breath and looked at me. “What about you? Why don’t you leave something too? I’ve already handled the fake identities anyway. They won’t find us. Don’t be scared. Write out all the anger you’ve been holding in this whole time!”

Enlightened, I took the pen and mulled it over for ages.

[Honestly, your abilities are pretty good. You just want it too much, and I really can’t take it. Goodbye.]

Cen Yu stood beside me reading it, her expression utterly baffled. “No, girl, your writing is way too niche. I don’t really get it.”

At last, I spoke the words I had been holding in my heart. “Did you know snakes have two? And they’re both especially… Also, he can go all night…”

After I had finished venting everything, Cen Yu held it in for a long time before saying, “Talk about not knowing how lucky you are. Forget it, girl. Maybe I should just leave by myself.”

“No! We agreed from the start that we’d be best friends for life. Even if we went to the bathroom, we’d hold hands and go together…”

Cen Yu cut me off. “That part is really not necessary!”
