Chapter 17

  Chasing after Xiao Xiu, they ran out of the bustling KTV building.

  Xiao Xiu suddenly stopped.

  "Ahhhhh!"

  Heavens! You didn't turn on the brake lights! Stupid girl, you managed to stop but I couldn't!

  All I heard was a "bang", and then Xixi and I had an intimate contact with the ground.

  "Oh no, Xue Er, you're going to die..."

  Xiao Xiu rubbed her sore buttocks and loudly scolded as she got up.

  "How was I supposed to know you'd suddenly stop!"

  I brushed off the dust on my body and stomped my feet in frustration. But then I saw Xiaoxiu with her back to me, leaning against the railing.

  "Xue Er, I'm not deceiving you." Xiao Xiu suddenly spoke up in a low tone, "You know, I've liked Hei Ye Ge for a long time and even confessed to him, but he said he already had someone he liked...and that girl is already dead..."

  This is the first time I've seen Xiaoxiu so serious and sad, listening to her sorrowful tone, my heart somehow aches along with hers.

  "Dark Night brother said that except for that girl, he would never accept anyone else again... He accepted Martha only because Martha looked like that girl... You know, Snowy, at that time I really hated it... Why couldn't I look a bit more like the girl Dark Night brother liked?"

  "Xiao Xiu..."

  Xiao Xiu likes Dark Night, Xiao Xiu likes Dark Night. Listening to Xiao Xiu's words, my brain is filled with this sentence, and I only feel a headache. How can it be, Xiao Xiu likes Dark Night! And I...

  "Xue Er, An Ye Ge Ge smiled because of you..."

  Xiaoxiu suddenly turned around, smiling at me. But I clearly saw that there were still tears hanging from the corners of Xiaoxiu's eyes, she... must be very sad and resentful towards me... how could she still want to be friends with me?

  "Xiaoxiu... I... I don't know..."

  In front of Xiaoxiu's tears, all explanations seem so pale and powerless.

  "Hmm... Xue Er, don't worry, I really consider you as a friend."

  Looking at me in a flurry, Xiaoxiu suddenly burst out laughing, wiping away her tears with her hands and walking over to hook my arm.

  "Do you know, Dark Night brother has never smiled before, but he actually smiled because of you! So I believe, you must be able to open the heart door that Dark Night brother has closed for a long time! You can definitely make Dark Night brother happy!"

  Looking at Xiaoxiu's yearning expression, for a moment I didn't know how to answer her. Does Leng An Ye like me? I'm not sure, all I know is that he hates me, he must hate me very much! Falling in love with someone but being unable to be together, watching the person you deeply love grow old and eventually leave you forever, turning into dust, this kind of heart-wrenching pain, a normal person can't understand.

  "Xue Er, what's wrong with you?"

  "Huh? Nothing, then why your brother..."

  If Xiaoxiu was telling the truth, then why did Ling say that, was he helping Leng An Ye cover up?

  "He... I don't know why, actually this thing I only told one person. I didn't speak randomly, after all this is a sad past for Brother Dark Night."

  Xiao Xiu pouted her small mouth, she couldn't understand why her brother suddenly said that sentence.

  "Ahhhhhhh!!!"

  Suddenly, a miserable cry came from the alley at the end of the street, scaring me and Xiaoxiu out of our wits.

  "What's going on?"

  People on the street all gathered at the end of the street, and screams kept coming. Xiaoxiu curiously pulled me to go and take a look, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. My intuition told me that nothing good had happened, but this girl didn't know where she got her strength from, and for a moment, I couldn't break free.

  "Hey... don't go..."
