Chapter 93: Gossip
Proofread by Yu Bing
Yuexi hurriedly smiles to comfort her. She walks forward and takes her hand, “Don’t be mad at me, please, I know it is my bad.”
Chen Ying glances at her and complains, “Give me your promise: you will tell me everything in the future, otherwise you are not treating me as your best friend!”
“Of course, I won’t keep anything from you, you are always my best friend!”
Chen Ying is only slightly angry, and now they have talked about it, so the misunderstanding has gone. Ouyang Mu stands outside the door and looks at them with a smile.
“I still have some work to do, and I will see you in the afternoon.”
They nod slightly to him and watches him leave.
Chen Ying looks at his back, and says with a sigh, “What a good man he is, hurry up, otherwise he will be other people’s boyfriend.”
“What are you talking about? I think you are the one who should hurry up.” Yuexi smiles, and Chen Ying helps her into the room. She cleans up the sofa before letting Yuexi sit down.
“Yue, I’m serious. It’s not easy to meet such a good man. You must seize the opportunity. You can’t let happiness slip through your fingers again this time.”
Chen Ying suddenly looks at Yuexi seriously. The way Chen Ying looks at her makes her heart flip for a while. She has never been like this before, so Yuexi looks at her puzzledly.
“What’s wrong with you?” Yuexi asks.
“Actually, I have already known that thing.” Chen Ying fixes her gaze upon her, her eyes filled with gratitude and complicated expressions.
Yuexi is stunned for a moment, and looks at her somewhat puzzled, “What thing?”
She chuckles nervously, after all, it is rare for Chen Ying to speak this way.
Chen Ying sighs slightly, then she withdraws her gaze, her whole body relaxed, “Not long ago, I still had a crush on Gong Benli. When I knew he was engaged to Ouyang Qing, I felt very sad, even though I said I put it down.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“You said it yourself, there are so many good men in the world, it doesn’t have to be him. It has passed, and you should move on. ”
“It’s not that easy to move on. So one day I went back to our university, and I didn’t expect to meet Gong Benli there. I asked him why, and he told me the whole story.”
Yuexi frowns. She wants to say something, but doesn’t know what to say.
Chen Ying turns her head, takes her hand, and says seriously, “Actually, the person who should have been with him back then was you, but you did not go to the appointment because of me. It is because of this that he chose to leave.”
“Sorry……”
Yuexi wants to say sorry when she was in college.
They are the best friends. She never thought that they would fall in love with the same man.
Chen Ying shakes her head, “It is I who should say sorry. At that time, I didn’t realize that you like him too.” Her tone is full of apologies.
“In fact, I don’t regret the decision at all, because I have such a good friend like you. No matter what happens, you are always by my side.”
Chen Ying is silent and thoughtful for a moment or two, as if lost in the memory. “If you were with him back then, I… I’m not sure if I can forgive you. After all, I was young and impetuous at that time, I would definitely think you betrayed me, betrayed our friendship.”
After hearing this, Yuexi looks at her nervously and quickly explains, “I have gotten over him now. The reason why I tried to persuade you before is that …”
“You don’t need to explain, in fact, I know everything. If you were really with him back then, you wouldn’t meet that bastard Ling Yun.” Chen Ying says half-jokingly.
“That’s not necessarily true. Our fate is destined. He and I are not from the same world.
Being together then doesn’t necessarily mean happiness now. What you are destined to go through are destined, you can do nothing about it. Who knows? But anyway, I don’t regret choosing you at all.”
Seeing the smile on Yuexi’s face, Chen Ying is moved, and tears are welling up in her eyes. She firmly grasps her hand, “I don’t regret having you as a friend either. As long as you want to be with him, I will help you no matter what! I could even drug him!”
Chen Ying’s words amused Yuexi, ” Oh, really? Can you do that? Now I’ve learned how to look at things from the bright side. Besides, I have gotten over him now. I am satisfied, as long as you are by my side.”
The moment she says that, Chen Ying opens her arms and takes her into her arms, tears beginning to roll down, and her voice chokes, “Hey, where did you learn that?”
Gently patting her on the back, Yuexi says, “If you want to cry, just cry, I know you are sad, but I believe that one day you will meet a good man, better than Gong Benli a hundred times!”
Perhaps it’s been suppressed in her heart for too long. For more than ten years, Chen Ying has never cried in front of others, but this time is an exception. She cries her heart out. Her sobbing sounds especially sad in the big empty room. Yuexi’s heart aches also.
After finally Chen Ying stops crying, Yuexi tells her how Ouyang Mu wanted to help her. Surprisingly, Chen Ying is not angry, but nods gently.
Wiping her tears, she looks at Bai Yuexi, her eyes still red. “I can finally set my mind at rest if he helps you.”
Looking at her suspiciously, Yuexi asks in a puzzled way, “This is not like you, you would never believe a man!”
Chen Ying curls her lips, “He is not an ordinary man. He is one in a million, his character, his appearance or family background, everything, and it’s only you who don’t know how to appreciate him!”
She is like an elder sister, lecturing at Yuexi about how to choose a husband.
“Well, yes, you are right. It is I who don’t know how to appreciate him, so if you know how to appreciate him, why don’t you be with him? ”
Chen Ying’s eyes twitching, she is just about to scold her. She suddenly sees a familiar figure standing behind Yuexi, a wicked smile rising from the corner of her mouth, “Then what do you think of Ouyang Mu?”
“What do I think of him? Of course he is a very good man, with noble character, good looks, and the best figure.” Seeing Chen Ying looking at her with expectant eyes, Yuexi suddenly is in a mood to tease her, so she jumps up from the sofa and says with a smile, “There are sure signs he will be great in bed! Look at his figure and his firm abs! Everything says his body is well toned. He is cut out for you!
She blinks mischievously, but the moment she turns around, she sees someone who shouldn’t be here.
“Ouyang Mu! When were you here?”
