Break Four

  Xing Luo's eyes slightly sank when she heard Ning Jing's words, but she didn't say anything. She just stared at Ning Jing fixedly, her sharp eyes almost piercing through him.

  I never thought we'd end up like this, weren't we the inseparable iron four? Why did it turn out like this? I wanted to ask, but all the words got stuck in my throat and couldn't be asked.

  "Xiao Luo, you abandoned Xia Ling City, we can still be good friends." Just then, Su Yan suddenly spoke up.

  "Su Yan!" Ning Jing's face changed greatly, and she couldn't help but cry out.

  Su Yan said to Xu Luo Kai, "Make a choice for yourself, whether it's us or him. We won't force you, but this is your own decision, and no matter what happens in the future, you must take responsibility for the choice you make."

  Xu Luokai looked at Su Yan for a moment, then turned his gaze back to me. From a distance away, he spoke softly and asked: "A Qian, what about you? If I hadn't chosen you both, would you blame me?" He looked at me again and asked once more, "Can we still be friends?"

  Such a fall, suddenly makes me heartache.

  Ning Jing also turned her gaze towards me, staring at me intensely, as if she wanted to know the answer even more than Xu Luo did.

  If I were smart enough back then, I should have asked Xià Luòkāi: "Would you give up our friendship first?" If I had asked that, the question would have been thrown back at her, and no matter what she chose, I wouldn't have fallen into a dilemma.

  But at that time, I didn't think of these things. I just firmly told Xu Luokai: "I said we are lifelong friends, that is lifelong, no matter how you choose, we are still friends."

  As soon as I finished speaking, Ningjing's face changed color and turned pale. She bit her lip tightly, almost crying out loud.

  I told Xu Luokai that I wanted to be friends for life, but that didn't mean I gave up on my friendship with Ningjing. However, Ningjing is such a sensitive girl, she thought I chose Xu Luokai over her without hesitation and believed I abandoned her.

  "Just having you is enough." Xuluo smiled, and as she smiled, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at Suyan and said word by word: "Susu, if I had to choose, I would definitely choose him. I won't explain, this is my answer."

  Su Yan lowered her eyebrows and simply said, "As expected." Then she didn't say anything else.

  Li Yang, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but want to step forward, but was held back by Fang Chaoyang's grip on his shoulder. Fang Chaoyang simply said, "This is their business, let them handle it themselves." His voice wasn't loud, but he used all his strength to prevent Li Yang from struggling free.

  Ning Jing suddenly burst out laughing, laughing very loudly, "Really sisterly love, you are really sisterly love!" She laughed and cried at the same time, looking at us with a hateful gaze, that was a kind of hatred that made her want to destroy everything together. It was a thing I thought would never appear in Ning Jing's eyes again for the rest of her life.

  I was just about to tell her that we hadn't given up on her, that in our eyes she and Xu Luo were equally important, when Su Yan suddenly spoke up calmly: "Xiao Jing, do you still remember what I told you? When Ning Jing first wanted to pursue Xia Ling Cheng, you were the one who supported her the most. At that time, didn't I tell you that you weren't even paying attention to whether it was him or not? And another important point is, wasn't this so-called earth-shattering love of yours something that you had wavered on before? Didn't your 'must be him' also once consider someone else?"

  Her body trembled with fear in the cold wind, Su Yan's questioning was like a sharp blade that pierced her heart, making her suffocate with pain.

  "You're also choosing her, aren't you? We've known each other for so long, why are you also standing on her side?" Ning Jing said in a low, unwilling tone: "In the past, only I stood by your side without hesitation, those two didn't believe in you, why are you treating me like this now?" What she was talking about was still the matter of Gu Liu's birthday party.

  Su Yan self-deprecatingly curled up the corner of her mouth, but didn't say anything.
