"So, losing Qi Longbing is no loss to you at all? Can you truly be so magnanimous?" Wen Yajun looked at Hua Xiaomo, his heart aching.
To think, he believed President Qi was the best man in the world, the one who could surely bring happiness to his sister. But for such a good man to miss out so deeply—whose fault was it? Maybe no one was at fault. The mistake was, why did they have to et in the first place? And having t, why did they then have to spend ti together, getting to know and love each other? Two people in love not being able to be together—maybe that’s the most painful thing!
This inevitably made Wen Yajun think of himself. Perhaps he and another person were feeling the sa way! But he did not regret leaving Ye Xiangxue, because he carried a responsibility—not towards Ye Xiangxue, but towards Dong Xiaoyou.
"Brother, stop it. I don’t even know how to respond to you. Honestly, it hurts too," Hua Xiaomo had to say, unable to utter anything else. She looked at Wen Yajun for a good while before continuing, "Where is Dong Xiaoyou? I haven’t seen her for a while now. Where does she live?"
"I bought a private apartnt, and she’s temporarily staying there," Wen Yajun said, looking at Hua Xiaomo with a hidden discontent he didn’t wish to express.
He always felt his sister shared so similarities with her best friend, Dong Xiaoyou, but was that really just an illusion? Why did he feel they were similar? If one were to talk about similarities, aside from being kind-hearted, there weren’t many other areas where they were alike. Hua Xiaomo was carefree and not very ticulous, while Dong Xiaoyou was the type of girl as gentle as water, with an incredibly ticulous and delicate mind.
"Oh, I see. Can you give the address? I’ll go see her tomorrow!" Hua Xiaomo said.
"Sure," Wen Yajun promptly gave Hua Xiaomo the address.
「The next day」
Hua Xiaomo quickly went to the address Wen Yajun had given her and found her dear friend, Dong Xiaoyou.
Upon seeing Hua Xiaomo, Dong Xiaoyou was quite surprised and greeted her enthusiastically. "Xiao Mo, when did you co back? It’s been five years since I last saw you, and you’ve gotten even more beautiful!"
"HAHA, you greet with such sweet words! Your mouth has gotten even sweeter. Has my brother been feeding you honey?" Hua Xiaomo joked, walking over to link arms with Dong Xiaoyou, examining her carefully.
At the sa ti, Dong Xiaoyou also examined Hua Xiaomo carefully. In that instant, both won were surprised by the changes they saw in each other.
Dong Xiaoyou looked at Hua Xiaomo and suddenly burst into tears. "How could you be so cruel? Five years! You didn’t call once in five years! I missed you terribly, you know that? Xiao Mo, how could you do this to !"
Hua Xiaomo enveloped her in a hug, patting her back. "Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry. There were circumstances that prevented from calling you back, you know. Please forgive , okay? My dearest friend?"
At that mont, a little girl ran over, taking Hua Xiaomo’s hand. "Auntie, Auntie."
Hua Xiaomo looked at the little girl, who was already quite tall, probably around seven or eight years old.
"This is... this is your daughter, isn’t she? She’s gotten so big!" Hua Xiaomo said, looking at the little girl. Then she took a small gift out of her bag and gave it to her.
The little girl opened it. "Wow, it’s so beautiful! Such a delicate hairpin, I really love it!"
Hua Xiaomo smiled at the little girl. "Since you like it so much, let Auntie clip it in your hair for you, alright?"
"Yes, yes! Thank you, Auntie, you’re so nice," the little girl said happily, then let Hua Xiaomo clip the hairpin on her head.
Dong Xiaoyou watched Hua Xiaomo, feeling very comforted, and spoke after a while.
"Yes, this is my daughter. Her na is Xiao i, and she’s seven now," Dong Xiaoyou said, smiling as she looked at Hua Xiaomo.
"Your daughter is already so big! If she were to play with my baby, they would surely beco the best of friends!" Hua Xiaomo couldn’t help saying. Looking at the innocent and cute Xiao i reminded her of her own daughter, Candy.
Dong Xiaoyou was stunned by her words. It took her a long mont to process it before she finally turned to look at Hua Xiaomo.
"Hua Xiaomo, what are you saying? Your baby? Don’t scare , when did you have a baby?" Dong Xiaoyou looked at Hua Xiaomo, finding it utterly unbelievable.
Hua Xiaomo looked at Dong Xiaoyou, a little embarrassed. "Xiao You, I... I have a daughter. She’s two years younger than yours; she just turned five this year."
"Ah? What? You have a daughter? Heavens, that’s truly unbelievable! You’re not even married yet!" Dong Xiaoyou exclaid, her face filled with astonishnt.
"Hey, you say I’m unmarried, but aren’t you in the sa boat?" Hua Xiaomo retorted with a faint smile.
Dong Xiaoyou pondered for a mont, then looked at Hua Xiaomo and asked secretively, "This child... she couldn’t be President Qi’s, could she?"
Hua Xiaomo looked at Dong Xiaoyou, not knowing how to answer her. She remained silent for a long ti.
Dong Xiaoyou thought for a mont, then looked at Hua Xiaomo. "It’s been five years, and your child also happens to be five years old. Does that an... you were already pregnant during that ti before you went to Arica?"
"Oh, please stop guessing, Xiao You! I really don’t want to talk about this right now. It’s too upsetting!" Hua Xiaomo said. Looking at Dong Xiaoyou’s daughter, she couldn’t help but walk over and gently stroke her hair. She’s such a beautiful, beautiful little girl! If my Candy were still here, she and Xiao i would definitely beco good friends. Just as her mother and I are best friends, our daughters would also beco the closest of friends.
Dong Xiaoyou looked at her, frowning slightly.
"You’re truly full of surprises. You actually have a daughter, and she’s already five years old. That child must be President Qi’s." Dong Xiaoyou looked at Hua Xiaomo, her expression somber. I can tell she has so much she wants to say to , Dong Xiaoyou thought, but she just can’t bring herself to voice it. It’s the sa feeling I had when I had Xiao i.
"Xiao You, now we’re both unmarried mothers. We truly are kindred spirits, bound by fate!" Hua Xiaomo looked at Dong Xiaoyou and smiled bitterly. We really are quite the pair of sisters, aren’t we? Both ending up doing the sa unconventional thing.
