After so many years, Mu Li still gnashed her teeth with hatred at the thought of that old grudge .
Back then, she couldn’t bring herself to tell them, but she didn’t care anymore . “An Xiaxia, Qi Yanxi has always liked you, hasn’t he? Why didn’t you tell me? You deliberately kept it from me, didn’t you? You know perfectly well I like him… How could you not tell me?!”
“Stop right there!” An Xiaxia cut her off, baffled . “You like Qi Yanxi? How was I supposed to know that? You didn’t tell me anything . ”
“Exactly . You barely spoke back then . We couldn’t read your mind . How were we supposed to know who you liked or disliked?” Su Xiaomo rolled her eyes at Mu Li .
Mu Li’s expression looked hideous as she asked, “Then why didn’t you tell me he likes you?”
“Why should I? To show off? I don’t see how that was necessary . ” An Xiaxia only found her accusation ridiculous .

She would share with her friends when she liked a boy . However, if she couldn’t reciprocate the affection someone showed her, she would never tell a soul .
For she had done a foolish thing once . In middle school, she bragged about having a pursuer to her deskmate with a comment that she thought the boy wasn’t as handsome as Rong Che . Her deskmate than exaggerated her words, saying that An Xiaxia thought the boy ugly . The rumor spread through all the classes of her year and the boy eventually dropped out .
Since then, An Xiaxia kept her relationships very private .
Moreover, Mu Li had always walked around with this inferiority complex when she was with An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo . An Xiaxia didn’t want to make Mu Li feel even worse by talking about her pursuers .
An Xiaxia smiled wryly . She had done it out of kindness, but to Mu Li, she might as well have committed a crime .
Mu Li clenched her coffee mug tightly, her eyes flaming with hatred .
Actually… what bothered her wasn’t that An Xiaxia didn’t tell her about it, but the fact that she was the one Qi Yanxi liked .

Mu Li’s jealousy was driving her crazy .
“He will be mine!” Mu Li said ferociously .
“Good luck . ” An Xiaxia offered her good wishes . Seeing that there wasn’t anything left to say, she left with Su Xiaomo .
Watching the two of them leave, Mu Li felt a sudden pang of regret .
An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo were the only ones that had helped her during those darkest years of her life .
She had chosen to go to the arts class, where she was ostracized and bullied . She hadn’t made any friends since .
Did she regret it?

Maybe… she did .
Mu Li lowered her dense eyelashes, looking dejected .
He Jiayu and Su Xiaomo’s wedding was held as planned .
Despite the hasty preparations, He Jiayu did his best to make the ceremony splendid and romantic .
It was a western-style wedding held on the lawn of a golf club . Not many guests were invited and everyone there were close family members and friends .
Everyone rose to their feet and applauded when He Jiayu put the ring on Su Xiaomo’s finger . Su Xiaomo blinked and cried .
An Xiaxia dabbed the corners of her eyes in her seat as well .
Su Xiaomo’s parents were there, too . They looked very reserved and didn’t dare say anything .
There was also an empty seat .
Only An Xiaxia and Su Xiaomo knew whom that was for — a friend that they would probably never see again .
Kang Jian…
Just when the ceremony was about to reach its climax, a figure in a black dress walked toward them . Holding a black-framed photo in her hands, she reminded one of some wandering soul that had climbed out of a grave .
