But not long ago, Cui Xueling and Fu Yibin's actions were undoubtedly a public announcement in front of everyone that she and Fu Yibin had become boyfriend and girlfriend.
Cui Xueling is a public figure, and this kiss will likely trend on social media soon. It's undoubtedly announcing to the whole country and to her harem: I'm taken, and I can't have my way with everyone anymore.
Not to mention the harem that Jing Li doesn't know about, if Xiao Qi and Cui Yu knew about it, wouldn't that cause an uproar?
What exactly happened between the two of them?
Is this related to the fact that the two of them agreed to disappear as soon as class ended?
We need to check this out...
However, the most urgent task is to comfort this heartbroken princess.
For Jing Li, the benefits of the two going public with their relationship outweigh the drawbacks.
She was waiting to see the Sea King's downfall, and if she could get Shen Xuanqi to give up being friends with Cui Xueling, she would be indirectly helping to change her tragic fate in the novel.
Without a word, Jing Li pulled Shen Xuanqi up to the top floor. Only then did she speak, rubbing her face, "Alright, no one's around now. If you want to cry, just cry it out."
"Wow……"
Shen Xuanqi burst into tears, her emotions completely collapsing.
Jing Li didn't say anything, but simply held her in her arms and gently patted her back to comfort her.
She cried so bitterly, so sorrowfully, so desperately, tears streaming down her face like a flood bursting its banks.
"Why...why did she do this to me...she clearly said she didn't like Fu Yibin...she lied to me..."
For her, her feelings for Cui Xueling were more important than her feelings for Fu Yibin.
That was her very, very best friend, why would anyone treat her like that...?
At this moment, she desperately needed to vent her resentment and pain.
Jing Li, who was supposed to join her in insulting Cui Xueling, remained silent, like a taciturn person.
Shen Xuanqi felt increasingly distressed. "Why didn't you help me scold her?"
Jing Li looked innocent. "Would it make me feel better if I scolded you? Are you sure you wouldn't turn on me and blame me?"
Shen Xuanqi, “…”
Okay, she will!
She's just being unreasonable.
"I've known her since junior high. She's my best friend. She always shares her delicious food and fun activities with me right away..."
Sobbing, Shen Xuanqi recounted her past with Cui Xueling.
The Shen family rose to prominence relatively late in life; true aristocratic families would never even look at them. To those socialites, the Shen family was nothing more than nouveau riche.
She tried hard to fit into that circle, but the socialites only saw her as a clown.
Cui Xueling was the first person to reach out to her and ask to be her friend.
She wouldn't look down on her, and she understood her insecurity and pain. When she was bullied, she would be the first to stand up for her and comfort her. She was so kind, so…
"Shouldn't true friends stand up for you and fight back against the enemy the moment you're bullied? Why offer comfort afterward?"
Jing Li interrupted Shen Xuanqi's narration, and Liang Liang offered a rebuttal.
Shen Xuanqi was taken aback, and subconsciously spoke up for Cui Xueling, "If she does that, she will also be disliked by those socialites and they will distance themselves from her."
"What if Cui Xueling was the one being suppressed and isolated? What would you do?"
Jing Li countered with a question.
"Of course I'd stand up for her without hesitation! Who dares to bully or look down on my friend? I'll..."
Shen Xuanqi answered as a matter of course, but was stunned the next second.
An unprecedented sense of desolation instantly filled my heart.
Jing Li's suggestion made her suddenly realize that her relationship with Cui Xueling had never seemed to be unequal.
