"Don't be so pessimistic."
The girl with a ponytail tried to sound cheerful. "Come on, cheer up."
"Maybe we really will find something this time."
The short-haired girl forced a smile.
"I hope so."
"I'm sorry, Yingying."
"Hey."
The girl with a ponytail frowned in displeasure.
"What are you apologizing for?"
"We were supposed to go out to eat and shop..."
But they'd only eaten.
They'd spent so much time because of her.
And because of her, her friend had been subjected to people pointing fingers.
It was all her fault...
Not only was she unlucky herself,
she'd even dragged her bad luck onto her friend...
Why was she like some kind of jinx...
The short-haired girl lowered her head.
"What are you talking about?"
The girl with a ponytail looked both bewildered and annoyed.
"This has nothing to do with you."
"It's all that guy's fault..."
Just thinking about the thief made her angry.
They really hadn't even said they wanted to do anything to him.
They just wanted the bracelet back.
To be honest, the bracelet wasn't worth much.
It wasn't something worth risking a theft for.
But to her friend, that bracelet held a special meaning.
It was... priceless.
Did that man really think it was worth it?
Spending so much time and effort just for a bracelet that most people wouldn't consider particularly valuable?
She didn't understand.
All she knew was this:
If there was even the slightest chance, she still hoped she could help her friend get the bracelet back.
"Don't overthink it."
The girl with a ponytail comforted her friend.
"We can go shopping anytime."
"Besides, how many times have we gone shopping together?"
"Is missing this one time really such a big deal?"
"It's just shopping."
