Although he understood Ye Xiaoman's feelings, he didn't understand why the two of them had broken up so decisively.

Su Luo adjusted her breathing and asked rationally.

"You still haven't told me why you broke off your friendship."

Ye Xiaoman told Su Luo the whole story.

Su Luo was completely stunned after hearing the whole thing.

As an outsider, he didn't sense any malice from Song Lingshan at all; she had no intention of blackmailing Ye Xiaoman.

Song Lingshan's bad tone was most likely because she saw that she was in a bad mood.

Ye Xiaoman's overreaction might be due to her being overly sensitive and having a short temper. She's used to being fawned over, so when she sensed Song Lingshan's bad mood and attitude, she immediately became agitated.

As for why Song Lingshan agreed to break off the friendship, it was entirely because she had long held a high position and was annoyed when she saw Ye Xiaoman slamming her fist on the table.

In a fit of anger, he had a falling out with Ye Xiaoman.

Seeing that Su Luo remained silent, Ye Xiaoman pressed for an answer.

"You also think she went too far, don't you?"

Su Luo scratched her head awkwardly. "Xiao Man, I think you're overthinking it. She really didn't mean it that way."

Ye Xiaoman said angrily.

"I didn't overthink it. She was the one who asked me if I didn't think I had any character flaws. She must have thought I did to ask that!"

Su Luo felt ashamed. Ye Xiaoman was very stubborn and opinionated. If Su Luo argued with her again, Ye Xiaoman might explode.

He sighed helplessly and said earnestly.

"Even if she really thinks there's something wrong with you, you've still been friends for so long. Doesn't that mean that no matter what you are to her, she still considers you a friend? Think carefully about all these years, has she really done anything to wrong you?"

Ye Xiaoman was slightly taken aback and began to think carefully.

He shook his head gently.

"No."

Song Lingshan had never done anything to wrong her.

Moreover, she was so possessive of Su Luo that she didn't blame her at all when she heard that she also liked Su Luo.

Instead, he generously told her to go ahead and pursue whoever she liked, without having to consider her feelings.

Once Su Luo saw that Ye Xiaoman had calmed down, he pressed his advantage.

"After so many years of friendship, is it too hasty to end things over just a few words?"

"..."

Ye Xiaoman fell silent, beginning to regret that she had indeed acted impulsively.

It was she who initiated the breakup, not Song Lingshan.

So, he staggered to his feet and walked toward the bedroom.

Su Luo asked worriedly, "Where are you going?"

Without turning her head, Ye Xiaoman replied dismissively, "I'll call her and apologize. You go to sleep, don't worry about me."

"..."

Su Luo pursed her lips and watched as the door slammed shut.

Suddenly I had a feeling, a very strange feeling.

He sensed that Ye Xiaoman cared a lot about Song Lingshan, to a degree that seemed to surpass his own.

Ye Xiaoman just said she could move out because she broke off her friendship with Song Lingshan, which clearly means she no longer wants to like him or live with him.

He always thought that Ye Xiaoman liked him and that he was very important to her. He never expected that she didn't like him as much as Song Lingshan.

Perhaps it's because all the women who confessed their feelings to him loved him, whether it was Ozawa Nami or Song Lingshan.

They all loved him to the core, always put him first, and never thought of leaving him.

When it came to Ye Xiaoman, she said she liked him and was good to him, but just now, because she had a fight with Song Lingshan, she was going to leave him and didn't want to like him anymore.

Right, he remembered, Ye Xiaoman and Ozawa Nami are different from Song Lingshan.

Ozawa Nami and Song Lingshan grew up in dysfunctional families and never received genuine warmth and love, which is why they have such stubborn personalities.

They tend to be more extreme in their approach to love, making their partner their entire life and their emotional support.

But Ye Xiaoman was not like that.

She is an extremely independent and individualistic person. Love is not her whole life. She has a loving family. Even when she broke up with her parents and ran away from home when she was young, she still deeply missed them.

Her parents didn't really abandon her; they secretly helped her all along.

Moreover, she has so many friends, and she has her own beloved career, which is thriving. She is a shining star wherever she goes.

For her, love was just a spice in life, which is why she could let go of it so easily.

Thinking of this.

A strange feeling of bitterness welled up inside me.

Su Luo raised her hand and gently pressed it against her chest, feeling her heart pounding faster and aching slightly.

What's going on?

Is he sad?

Could it be that he has unknowingly fallen in love with Ye Xiaoman, but is simply unaware of it himself?

Su Luo shook her head vigorously, trying to suppress the restlessness in her heart.

Something's not right.

He has become heartless, devoid of love, and will never fall in love with anyone again.

I never want to touch love again in my life. My first two relationships ended so tragically, hurting two women who loved me so deeply.

He is no longer capable of loving anyone.

...

As soon as Ye Xiaoman got into bed, she immediately took out her phone, found Song Lingshan's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang for quite a while before Song Lingshan slowly answered it.

It wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but she was too drunk, dizzy and nauseous. She vomited in the bathroom for a while and was still not fully conscious.

"Hello?"

Hearing Song Lingshan's hoarse voice, Ye Xiaoman's heart trembled, and she whispered.

Are you asleep?

Song Lingshan bit her lip and said calmly, "Soon, is there something you need?"

How strange, she was the one who said she wanted to break off all ties, but now she's the one calling me on her own initiative.

Ye Xiaoman took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Um... I'm sorry."

Song Lingshan stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"What did you say"

She couldn't have misheard, could she? Ye Xiaoman actually apologized. In her memory, Ye Xiaoman would never admit her mistakes, even if she was really wrong; she had a very strong sense of pride.

Ye Xiaoman's cheeks flushed slightly as she awkwardly replied.

"Let's not break off our friendship, okay? I just misspoke."

"..."

Song Lingshan's lips moved but no sound came out; a sour feeling welled up in her nose.

She had just returned and had thought a lot about it. She realized that there were indeed some inappropriate things she had said.

Even though Ye Xiaoman had character flaws and befriended drug addicts, she never hurt her and was always very good to her.

She wanted to call Ye Xiaoman to explain and apologize, but she couldn't bring herself to do it and felt it was embarrassing.

But to her surprise, Ye Xiaoman took the initiative to apologize to her.

Ye Xiaoman became anxious when she saw that Song Lingshan was not speaking.

"Hey, is it really that serious? You can't be that petty, can you? I was just saying it in anger, you didn't take it seriously, did you? That's not right of you. You just said I have character issues in front of so many people, of course I'm angry. I've already apologized to you, won't you forgive me?"
