"I...I don't know if I should continue. Xia Che...it seems like he has someone he likes."
Shen Yanxin pursed her lips. Her once beautiful eyes were now shrouded in darkness, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept all night. Her expression was haggard, like a flower without water.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yingying's eyes widened immediately, and she blurted out, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She never expected that she, who was full of confidence not long ago and wanted to win over Xia Che's heart, would give up after only a few days.
"Xia Che has never had any contact with girls before, how could he possibly have someone he likes? I've never heard of him having any feelings for anyone before!"
Mu Yingying was equally confused. Noticing Shen Yanxin's haggard expression, she wondered if there really was such a thing.
Mu Yingying's heart skipped a beat.
If that's true, wouldn't that be terrible?
She was Shen Yanxin's best friend, so she naturally knew all the men around Shen Yanxin. In Mu Yingying's opinion, the one who was closest to Shen Yanxin before was Li Junyang, but now there was Xia Che as well.
Shen Yanxin likes Xia Che, and the two successfully get together, which is the best ending in Mu Yingying's opinion.
But if Xia Che has someone else he likes, wouldn't that mean...?
If Shen Yanxin chooses to give up, then among the men she is closest to, only Li Junyang will remain.
Mu Yingying's heart clenched instantly, and a series of unexpected and wicked thoughts flashed through her mind. Her fair hands clenched tightly.
Humans are inherently selfish; very few people can truly give up someone they like.
Especially for someone like Mu Yingying, who had already made a painful decision, but suddenly a turning point came—Shen Yanxin didn't like Li Junyang, but Xia Che. She thought things had taken a turn for the better, and she could finally bring out the feelings she had hidden in her heart again...
But unexpectedly, the situation changed again?
It's already quite an achievement to be able to make a decision even once, and even the kind-hearted Mu Yingying doesn't want to make that decision a second time.
"You must have misunderstood, you must be wrong."
The more Mu Yingying thought about it, the worse the situation seemed. Her eyes flickered repeatedly as she vowed that she absolutely could not let this happen!
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"
Mentioning this, Shen Yanxin's expression became even more disappointed. She had thought that the two of them had left temporarily because their friend was sick. Unexpectedly, she had just finished eating when she turned around and bumped into the two of them being as intimate as a couple.
Moreover, judging from the direction they left, it seemed they had just come out of the amusement park, but at that time, only the Ferris wheel was still operating in the entire amusement park.
So, you can imagine what activities they just did.
Going to ride the Ferris wheel late at night, Shen Yanxin felt that if she still thought there was nothing between the two of them, then there must be something wrong with her brain.
"I still think that what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth. Think about it carefully, the person you like... could they really be that kind of person?"
After listening to the whole story, Mu Yingying racked her brains for an excuse to persuade Shen Yanxin. Finally, her eyes lit up and she had an idea.
"If what you see with your own eyes isn't real, then what is real?"
Shen Yanxin was heartbroken. She had thought about it all night long. When a person's heart is dead, they become very calm. After calming down, Shen Yanxin thought carefully about how she met Xia Che and how she later fell in love with him.
These emotions...
It was all just wishful thinking on my part.
She never asked Xia Che whether he liked her or not.
You can't force someone to like you. You can't force someone who doesn't like you to be with you, can you?
That doesn't make sense.
But the thought of giving up Xia Che and abandoning the person she loved with her own hands made Shen Yanxin's heart bleed.
Having no experience in love, she had no idea that it was precisely this fear of loss that intensified her feelings for Xia Che.
If the initial liking was only 10 points out of 50, then after experiencing a series of gains and losses, Shen Yanxin's liking has now reached 30 points, and as time goes by, this liking is becoming stronger and stronger, showing a tendency to reach the full score.
This silly girl didn't realize that if she had let her feelings go and treated them with a normal attitude, those feelings would have gradually faded away and turned into true friendship.
"That being said, I still believe that seeing is not necessarily believing. How about this... I suggest you don't give up on your feelings for Xia Che and continue to win him over."
Mu Yingying gradually came up with an idea and chuckled.
"Why?"
Shen Yanxin was full of confusion. She already knew that Xia Che might have a girlfriend, so why was she still trying to get close to him?
That's a bit too shameless...
"Because human nature is just that despicable. If I asked you to give up Xia Che and treat him as an ordinary classmate, would you be willing?"
Shen Yanxin's expression stiffened slightly. Just thinking about it made her heart ache, and her hands clenched unconsciously.
"Look, since we can't let go, we might as well embrace it even more enthusiastically."
Mu Yingying took in her best friend's subtle expressions, and her smile became even more confident: "If you can win her over, then it proves that she doesn't have a boyfriend, and what you saw was just a misunderstanding. If you can't win her over, you've already hit a wall, even if you're battered and bruised, at least you've got the result. By then, you'll give up on your own without me having to tell you."
"That's human nature. When faced with someone you can't have, you'll constantly drain yourself, causing yourself a lot of pain. You can't bear to break up with them, and you keep pursuing them only to end up hurting yourself."
"Then the only solution is very simple: even if you know there is a wall in front of you, you have to keep crashing into it, even if you get hurt and bleed."
"This process is called desensitization. You've succeeded when the wound has healed and is no longer something that can control your emotions."
Mu Yingying's eyes flickered as she looked at her best friend, whose eyes were growing brighter and brighter. She knew that her friend had already believed her theory, and she felt even more guilty. She turned her head slightly away, no longer daring to look her best friend in the eye.
"Please forgive me... I really can't let Li Junyang go to you a second time."
Mu Yingying murmured to herself, this was the first time she had lied to her best friend. Perhaps to lessen her guilt, she took a deep breath and smiled again: "Don't worry, I will help you win over Xia Che, I definitely will."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanxin's already sparkling eyes shone with joy once more, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Really? You have a way?"
