After the exams ended, everyone’s tension did not get much relief.
They still didn’t know their results nor whether they would surpass the first class. No one was certain.
“Yaoyao, see you in two days!”
“Big Bro, see you in two days!”
Song Yaoyao waved at them and turned to board her car.
“That damn f*cking b*tch!”
An Ruoyao looked at Song Yaoyao coldly as she climbed into the car and cursed between gritted teeth. The slap marks on her face had disappeared, but the humiliation was deeply imprinted in her heart.
She lifted her feet and started walking toward the car that was there to pick her up.
“Ruoyao…”
Song Jingwan pursed her lips and stopped her sadly, “Are you blaming me as well now? You don’t want to be friends anymore?”
In the past few days, An Ruoyao did not show any obvious changes on the surface, but her indifference had grown. She was no longer as warm toward Song Jingwan.
Not too long ago, she was helping Song Jingwan everywhere she went because she had mobility issues.
But recently, she left as soon as school ended, and she did not take a single glance at Song Jingwan.
“It’s nothing. You’re overthinking.”
“That’s a yes! Ruoyao, I know you’re upset because I didn’t accompany you last time. The entire issue arose because of me, so it’s normal for you to be angry, but can you listen to my explanation? You are my only friend. I don’t want to lose you!”
She blinked as she lowered her head and tears began to fall.
An Ruoyao stared straight ahead and said with hatred, “Since you’re aware of this, what’s the point of talking? Just think of it as my one-sided decision. I was focused on sticking up for you and teaching that b*tch a lesson, but look what happened in the end. Where were you when I was being humiliated?”
“I… Ruoyao, sorry. I’m really sorry! I know there’s nothing I can do to make you forgive me, but I was really scared. I didn’t have the courage to face those people…”
Song Jingwan’s tears dripped continuously as she moved to An Ruoyao’s side. She grabbed onto her hand and said sadly, “I know you might not believe me, but I’m seriously scared of Song Yaoyao. She’s crazy! She’s like a demon! Back at the mountain resort, she had tried to kill me, but you know what happened in the end. She’s always trying to hurt me. She even charmed Yueyue away.”
An Ruoyao’s eyes twitched; she was beginning to let her guard down because of Song Jingwan’s crying. “Anything else?”
“Last time, when Yueyue went missing, she suddenly came looking for me and pushed me down the stairs!”
“What?!”
An Ruoyao couldn’t help but turn her head. “That actually happened?”
Song Jingwan nodded as she held back her tears and smiled bitterly. “I’ve kept it in my heart all along because I was hoping she would come to her senses and realize her mistakes. But look what happened. She stole everything from me, and she wants me dead!”
“That’s because you’re stupid. How many times have I told you that Song Yaoyao is not a good person? I told you not to help her. But look what you did,” An Ruoyao said with disappointment.
These two had grown up together, so their relationship was naturally different.
In An Ruoyao’s heart, Song Jingwan had always been weak and kind, and she was nice to everyone.
It was normal for her to be bullied.
Song Jingwan quickly held onto her hand when she saw that she was finally willing to talk to her. “I know. I know I was wrong! I won’t do it again. Never again, okay? Ruoyao, don’t be angry at me. Sorry, I was too weak. I was afraid of going to the third class and being humiliated. I was selfish. You can hit me if you want!”
