Chapter 218: I Also Have a Friend
The four girls in the tent chatted late into the night until they gradually fell silent. The exhaustion of the entire day quickly lulled everyone into a sweet sleep, except for Liu Xiaoyu, who tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Ever since being unjustly treated in middle school for “meddling,” Liu Xiaoyu has been living in a lonely world of trying to make it on her own. Her interactions with Xia Yuan, Lin Youxi, and Mei Fang brought her newfound friendship.
Over the past six months, she had silently watched the emotional bond between the trio grow stronger. While she envied them, she also felt proud to be part of Ximilu Studio.
The relationship between the three was stable and indestructible, but now, a budding romance had disrupted the balance.
The hidden love between Mei Fang and Lin Youxi was bound to be discovered someday, and whenever that day came, it would mark the end of their beautiful friendship.
But this was also an inevitable part of growing up.
Mei Fang could perhaps choose someone other than his childhood sweethearts to avoid making a choice, but wouldn’t that also harm that someone?
Sigh...
Liu Xiaoyu found herself facing an unsolvable dilemma.
She regretted taking those few extra steps to enjoy the beautiful scenery by the lake, as now her mind was filled with thoughts about the trio and the passionate kiss between Mei Fang and Lin Youxi...
Liu Xiaoyu slept lightly, her dreams filled with uncomfortable memories, until she heard Xia Yuan’s voice from the other side of the tent.
“Hello, is anyone awake?”
“What’s wrong?” Liu Xiaoyu asked softly.
“Xiaoyu, you’re awake? I need to... go to the bathroom. Can you come with me?”
“Sure... I’ll go with you.”
Liu Xiaoyu and Xia Yuan put on their coats and quietly walked towards the restroom at the mountaintop. Although the sky was still dark, some shops were already lit, providing a sense of security for the two girls with their phones.
They didn’t talk much on the way, but on the way back, Xia Yuan suddenly started chatting with Liu Xiaoyu.
“By the way, we talked so much last night, but you never mentioned what kind of boys you like.”
“Me? To be honest, I’ve never really thought about romance,” Liu Xiaoyu said gently. “For me, it always seemed like a luxury, something very distant.”
“What’s so luxurious or distant about it? We’re already this age; it’s okay to think about it,” Xia Yuan said, worried that Liu Xiaoyu was too shy to talk about it. She decided to share some well-known facts about herself.
“As for me, you can probably tell... I only ever think about my childhood sweetheart, so I don’t even know if that’s considered normal or not... um...”
When Xia Yuan talked about Mei Fang with such shyness, Liu Xiaoyu felt increasingly heartbroken watching her.
What a nice girl...
She even felt guilty for a long time about selling her family’s hotel to mine.
“I personally prefer a partner who is supportive and relies on me as much as I rely on him.”
“He doesn’t have to be very handsome or outstanding, but I would hope we can support each other, understand each other, compensate for each other’s shortcomings, and work together towards common goals. That kind of feeling is very nice.”
Liu Xiaoyu thought for a moment. “Maybe what I’m saying is a bit abstract... Basically, I’m actually a person who lacks a sense of security. I even hope that the person I like isn’t too outstanding, so he won’t get involved in too many disputes. I don’t want to get involved in disputes either; I just want a quiet relationship.”
“But I’m not saying I want to support a useless person... As long as he is ambitious enough, treats me well, and always supports me, I think that’s enough.”
“I understand that feeling. So, you don’t long for a passionate love affair, you just want a peaceful romantic life, right?”
Xia Yuan felt very embarrassed and at the same time, this shocked Liu Xiaoyu immensely.
So, girl A is actually Youxi? And Yuan Yuan is girl B?
That means she actually knows about the kiss between Youxi and Mei Fang!
“Does girl B know about this?”
“Whether she knows or not, if you were girl B, how would you react?”
“I’d be angry, for sure.”
Liu Xiaoyu softly added, “Since everyone understands each other tacitly, why cross the line and do something beyond the boundary?”
“Yes, that’s right...” Xia Yuan wiped her cold sweat, “It’s very angering, right? But just being angry won’t solve anything. Do you think she would end her friendship with the other two?”
Yuan Yuan ending her friendship with Mei Fang and Youxi? That can’t happen... I can’t advise Yuan Yuan to do such a thing.
“I think... she probably wouldn’t? As you said, with so many years of friendship, saying goodbye just like that would surely be something to regret for a lifetime.”
“I think so too, ha, haha...”
Xia Yuan scratched her head. “What I really want to know is, since this has already happened, how do you think the three of them could mend their relationship?”
Should I stubbornly insist that it can’t be fixed until the end?
Then the only path left would be to break up!
Liu Xiaoyu didn’t want to see the trio fall apart.
But if I must suggest a way to make things right——
Translator's Notes:
Liu Xiaoyu’s given name, ‘Xiaoyu’ (潇雨), sounds similar to ‘xiaoyu’ (小鱼), which means ‘small fish.’ /wiki/Shamate↩︎
