“Why did you take the love letter?” Xia Wei raised her head to look at Tian Tian sitting across from her “Don’t tell me that you also liked Tao Yu?”
“I don’t…” Tian Tian whispered this before belching slightly, her breath s of alcohol
Xia Wei was a bit alarmed “Don’t tell me the one you like is me? Eh, for so many years, I have only treated you as a friend…”
“…” Even if she was drunk, Tian Tian tenaciously rolled her eyes at her “I liked Jiang Zhen Yu during high school”
Xia Wei: “…”
Right, that handsome, very awesome basketball player on the sports coirls in their class also liked him
“Then why did you take it?” Xia Wei couldn’t figure it out Since Tian Tian neither liked her nor Tao Yu, why did she take the love letter?
Tian Tian burped again and fuain “I was under a lot of pressure in our third year of high school My parents had very high expectations for me, and at school, we had weekly and monthly exams to prepare for theexams I felt as if I nearly couldn’t breathe, Fortunately, I had all of you by my side then We all had fantasies about our lives in the future and were looking forward to the flourishi+ng and beautiful A City We planned to buy a villa in A City and raise a couple dogs Each weekend, ould get together in the afternoon to drink tea…”
Xia Wei: “…”
Tian Tian’s words re that ti these daydreams At the moment, it seemed that they were truly foolishly adorable back then They didn’t know the cost of housing in A City, so their fantasies included the a villa…
“Now that I think about it, ere very immature, but at that tihout all ofthat kind of life in the future seelanced at Xia Wei, as standing to the side, when she said this, her eyes already un thinking on returning to our alma mater to teach then Old Zhao had always considered Tao Yu as his favorite pupil, and likewise—Tao Yu had always admired Old Zhao One time when I went to the office, I heard Old Zhao and hi to the school to teach Old Zhao felt that he could have
a larger stage and gave him some advice; Tao Yu, however, was very resolute He had always been a ”
Xia Wei silently listened Tian Tian breathed in through her nose before continuing “If you got together with Tao Yu, you certainly would have chosen to stay with hiy had already decided to go abroad If you returned to D City, then in the end, ould I have been persevering for all this ti in a large house? In the end, would I seriously end up alone?”
Tian Tian’s tears finally began falling Xia Wei’s eyes have also gradually turned red because of her words Tian Tian had always been the st therades were also the highest Their teachers and parents all placed high hopes on her, so how great of a pressure had she beared? They ht never know
The shout “At that ti and inexperienced Nohen I look back at my past self, I realize that I really was stupid beyond redes turn out after I selfishly took away your letter? Are our lives as we expected them to be? No”
Friends naturally could not stay by one’s side forever During that time, however, she did not understand this principle Her seventeen-year-old self, apart fro She had stoay the love letter because she believed it would not allow their futures to be as beautiful as she iined
“These few years, I have always felt sorry for you, especially every time I see you with a failed relationshi+p I can’t help but blame myself If I hadn’t hidden that letter back then, would you have already been married to Tao Yu and have a happy family? I have always kept this letter bythat I would one day confess this to you, but I never had the courage Today, I a about it, so whatever you decide to do, I will accept”
Xia Wei breathed in through her reddened nose and then exhaled “If you had confessed this to h to sever relations with you A decade has passed, however, and so ed”
Tian Tian stared at her blankly before using the wall as support to stand “No, I see that Tao Yu still likes you Right now, it’s not too late He’s still downstairs I’ll go down and give him the letter”
She dashed toward the doorway
doorway once she said this Xia Wei’s eyes flashed as her hands rapidly reached out to grab her before she nearly fell to the ground Tears were still strearabbed a tissue for her and said, “Ahim the letter noould only increase his worries”
Xia Wei said this and also felt rather helpless ‘Fate plays withthat described this scenario well “Before we left the school, Tao Yu confessed to ht of how if he had done so a decade ago, I would have said yes Our child would have certainly been able to buy soy sauce by now ‘If this or that happened then,’ or ‘if that didn’t happen then;’ if people keep holding on to this way of thinking, they will no longer be able to advance forward”
She grabbed another tissue and wiped away Tian Tian’s tears “I already like someone else noay, so this letter will forever be kept a secret”
Tian Tian was a bit surprised “Who do you like? Don’t tellfrom downstairs?”
Xia Wei: “…”
Was it really that obvious?
“You go rest early I’ll go pour you another cup of water” Xia Wei found an excuse to flee this small room and sent Tao Yu a text while she was at it
Xia Wei: 「I’m sorry, Tian Tian is a bit difficult to deal hen drunk; she’s vo I need to stay here, so you can go back first『smile-cry』」
Tao Yu: 「It’s very late and not safe for you to go back alone」
Xia Wei: 「If it’s too late, I can just stay over and sleep here (:з」∠)」
Tao Yu: 「Alright then I’ll take your things and leave theuard downstairs When you leave, rerab them」
Xia Wei: 「Okay, thanks 『cute』 I’ll get in touch with you tomorrow」
Tao Yu: 「Alright『OK』」
Xia Wei looked down at the black screen and sighed
Tian Tian napped for a while, hercalmed down some When she woke up, she was more or less sober Xia Wei checked the time—nearly ten o’clock “I’ll takeat home for me to return”
Tian Tian raised her head to look at her “The stray dog you’re raising?”
“Mn”
Tian Tian laughed “Living in a large ho, you actually achieved this dream”
