The dinner lasted until 10 p.m., and people gradually left.
Luo Xikui asked Xu Ziyu to wait for her in the lobby downstairs, saying that she had some things to take care of.
Seeing her resolute expression, Xu Ziyu didn't insist on staying with her any longer and went downstairs with his parents.
After watching him leave, Luo Xikui's smile vanished. She walked to the backstage storage room and saw Xin Chun and several staff members still finishing up. She simply stood quietly to the side and waited.
When Xin Chun looked up and saw her, she calmly finished giving her instructions before dismissing the staff. Then she walked towards Luo Xikui and asked indifferently, "Is there something you need?"
“I asked the waiter in the lobby. He brought the instrument up after getting it from the shop assistant. The instrument was given to you at that time.” Luo Xikui looked at Xin Chun and stated the facts very calmly.
"So what if it is? Is there a problem?" Xin Chun's expression remained unchanged, her composure unchanged.
"I was playing on stage just now, and you were surprised that the strings didn't break." Luo Xikui didn't want to assume the worst about Xin Chun. When she saw Xin Chun's expression on stage, she tried to convince herself that she was probably overthinking it. But after asking the waiter, she had to face the issue.
"I don't understand what you're talking about," Xin Chun said calmly.
"Xiao Chun, no matter what kind of kindness you have, there is a bottom line to repay it. I have already backed down from you again and again, and I have nowhere left to retreat." Luo Xi Kui was a little sad. They had unknowingly come to this point.
"Ha, Luo Xikui, what have you given up? You have everything, yet you say such high-sounding words to me now. Don't you think you're being hypocritical?" Xin Chun sneered.
"And what about you, Xin Chun? When have you ever been sincere with me? There are more smart people than you in this world. Don't treat everyone else like fools. You've been using a strategy of retreat to advance all these years. Do you really think I didn't notice at all? I know you've lost a lot, and I want you to be happy. I don't care about your hypocrisy because I consider you a friend. I even gave up my chance to go to Germany to give you the possibility of meeting Ziyu. Did you ever think about how heartbroken I was at that time?" Luo Xikui's eyes reddened, and her voice choked slightly as she continued, "Ha, you could never have considered my feelings. You even kept such a big thing from me when something happened to Ayu. You were only thinking about your own selfish desires. Did you ever consider what Ayu really needed at that time?"
"He needs you, so what? He's the one who's stubborn and won't say anything, and you're the one who's stupid enough to actually stop contacting him!" Xin Chun's face twisted, and her words became sharp.
"Yes, I was stupid. My stupidest mistake was thinking of you as my best friend!" Luo Xikui burst into tears.
"What best friend? Don't make it sound so nice. I'm just a foil for you to make yourself look better." Xin Chun never understood why, since childhood, apart from looks, she had always been better than Luo Xi Kui in everything, yet everyone preferred Luo Xi Kui.
Her resentment was not something that arose overnight, but rather something that had accumulated over many years.
“So that’s what you think,” Luo Xikui wiped away her tears, holding back her sobs, and said, “Then why did you save me back then? If you hate me so much, you could have just ignored me.”
Xin Chun scoffed: "Who knows? He's probably bewitched."
Luo Xikui felt there was nothing more to say to Xin Chun, so she bowed deeply to her and said, "Thank you for being bewitched."
She straightened up, looked directly at Xin Chun, and said, word by word, "But I hope that this matter is the end."
