Mengmeng, not knowing the true situation, naturally assumed that since Jiang Yibai didn’t reject Suisui, he must have accepted her confession.
"So, are you crying tears of joy?"
"Tears of joy my foot!" Cheng Suisui, seeing that Mengmeng still hadn’t understood her, now cried even harder and simply blurted out, "Jiang Yibai didn’t reject me, but he said outright that he has someone he likes."
She would rather have been rejected than hear him mention having someone he likes.
The former meant she still had a chance if she tried hard enough, the latter signified a slim chance.
"He told you he has someone he likes?" Mengmeng’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, her heart hanging in her throat.
Jiang Yibai wouldn’t have told Suisui that he likes her, would he...
How would they continue to be friends after that??
Just as Mengmeng was unsure how to face Suisui, she heard Cheng Suisui continue, "Yes, he told me he has someone he likes, but he didn’t say who exactly it is."
Upon hearing this, Mengmeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before she could relax for long, Suisui questioned her, "By the way, Mengmeng, you’ve known Jiang Yibai for so many years, do you know who he likes?"
On the other end of the phone, Mengmeng suddenly found herself unable to speak. Her lips moved a few times, but she didn’t know exactly what to say.
"Mengmeng?" Seeing her suddenly fall silent, Suisui couldn’t help but ask, "Are you still there?"
"Hmm..." With no other option, Mengmeng grunted in response, but she really didn’t know how to answer the previous question, so she quickly changed the subject, "Suisui, I have something to do, so I’m going to hang up."
"Wait a minute!" Cheng Suisui, hearing the guilty tone in her voice, suddenly had a surprising thought flash through her mind.
Then Mengmeng heard her mutter in astonishment, "Mengmeng, actually, the person Jiang Yibai likes is you, isn’t it?"
Mengmeng cast her eyes downward, once again falling silent.
She couldn’t lie to a friend.
"He really does like you!" The previous sentence used a question mark, but this time Cheng Suisui spoke with certainty.
No wonder she always felt that Jiang Yibai was particularly nice to Mengmeng.
She had simply thought it was because they had been classmates for years, and it was normal for them to be close. Plus, since Mengmeng was now married to Gu Zhihan, Suisui had never thought in that direction.
But now she felt foolish for only realizing the truth at this moment!
Listening to her incredulous and surprised voice, Mengmeng felt uncomfortable within.
She really didn’t want this to cause a rift between her and Suisui.
That Jiang Yibai liked her was beyond her control, and she had always tried to keep her distance from him in everyday life and studies.
"Silly Mengmeng, why are you apologizing?" Suisui couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache and quickly added, "You don’t think I would stop being friends with you over this, do you?"
"I’m not such a petty friend."
"Besides, Jiang Yibai liking you is his own business. What does it have to do with you? Why are you feeling so guilty!"
"You’re so beautiful, it’s normal for boys to like you. If I were a boy, I wouldn’t be able to resist pursuing you either."
Cheng Suisui rushed out several sentences in one breath.
Seeing that she really didn’t mind, Mengmeng instantly felt relieved and even started joking with her, "Actually, I feel the same way. If I were a boy, I’d fall for me too!"
