Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Arian, don’t you think you’re very fake?
Chen Hua’s words exploded in Mu Anan’s heart.
She widened her eyes and looked at Chen Hua in disbelief.
She had never thought such words would come from Chen Hua one day.
From her only best friend.
Mu Anan took a long time to digest what Chen Hua had said.
She asked, “Did someone say something?”
Chen Hua did not respond.
“We’ve always been straightforward with each other.” Mu Anan said, “If you have any misunderstandings about me or don’t like me, you can tell me directly now.”
Mu Anan wanted to clear any misunderstandings and unhappiness.
However, Chen Hua looked away after exchanging a glance with her.
The window happened to be in her line of sight.
Chen Hua’s side profile was clearly reflected on the window.
She was stout, fat, and had thick, greasy hair. Her face was still oily, dull, and ugly.
But what about Mu Anan?
Her figure was slender. Though her hair was the same length, it was soft and beautiful. Even her black-rimmed gla.s.ses could not hide her beauty.
In contrast to Chen Hua’s hunchback, Mu Anan’s stood tall and proud.
Chen Hua felt that Mu Anan was living under the sun, but she was always in a dark place, continuing to be ugly.
Mu Anan saw that she was silent and asked again, “Or is it because of what Huo Xian did today?”
Chen Hua kept her head lowered and did not speak.
Mu Anan panicked, “What exactly is it? What do you dislike about me? Can’t we just be honest?”
“If it is because of Huo Xian’s silly pranks, I can get him over to explain.”
Chen Hua, who had lowered her head and kept quiet, was suddenly provoked by Mu Anan’s words, “Do you think Huo Xian is pulling a prank?”
“What else can it be?” Mu Anan retorted, “You like him, so you know his personality. When has he ever been serious?”
“He’s confessing!” Chen Hua raised her voice, “Mu Anan, he confessed to you because he likes you, but you didn’t take it seriously and even thought it was a prank. Even if you don’t like him, you can’t trample on his sincerity like this!”
“You really don’t like me because of Huo Xian!” Mu Anan was almost certain.
“I just feel disgusted! You told me you approached Huo Xian to create opportunities for me, but every time, Huo Xian only had eyes for you and interacted with you. I was like an invisible person.”
“I feel my existence between you two is like a joke!”
Chen Hua lost control of her emotions again. She blurted out her complaints, “Do you know that every time you said you would arrange a date with Huo Xian and deliberately not go, though Huo Xian didn’t say anything, I could feel that he thought 1 was a scheming woman from the way he looked at me. That I deliberately did not let you go and then created a one-on-one date between me and him.”
Mu Anan did not say anything and just listened to Chen Hua’s complaints.
She wanted to understand Chen Hua’s thoughts at once right then.
Chen Hua said, “You always act as if you’re n.o.ble and created situations where 1 could be alone with Huo Xian. However, the moment I turn around, you’re the one who’s messing with Huo Xian. You’re the one who’s joking with Huo Xian and getting close to him. You’re the one who’s hugging Huo Xian. You made Huo Xian…”
The person whom he called out for even when he was drunk was also you.
“I’m like a clown, stepping between the two of you. Sometimes, when I watch you interact, I feel that you two are a truly loving couple.”
Chen Hua wiped the tears off her face.
Mu Anan just stared at her.
After a minute of silence in the office, Mu Anan suddenly sneered.
“Chen Hua, what you said today makes me feel that everything I did before was fed to the dogs.”
Mu Anan’s heart was filled with disappointment, and her words were not pleasant to hear, “I told you from the beginning that I don’t care if you want to go or not. I’m just doing what 1 can for you as a best friend.”
“Have you ever asked yourself why Huo Xian is talking to me?” Mu Anan took a step forward and approached Chen Hua, “It’s because every time Huo Xian talks to you, you lower your head and don’t respond. Think about it. If you were to talk to someone and that person responded indifferently, would you still do it?”
“I…”
“Are you trying to say that you’re shy? That you are nervous? But Chen Hua, Huo Xian is not a worm in your stomach. How does he know that you are shy and not that you don’t like to interact with him!”
Mu Anan’s att.i.tude was so strong that Chen Hua, who had been complaining emotionally, suddenly became speechless.
She even retreated when Mu Anan approached her.
Mu Anan said, “This world is very realistic. You’re not the main character, and neither am I. We are no longer teenagers when people will give us what we want, and adults will accommodate us.”
“Chen Hua, I’ve told you long ago that you have to fight for the things you like and the people you like!”
That was what Zong Zhengyu told Mu Anan.
“You don’t fight for what you want. And you complain about the world being unfair to you. What’s the use of that? When has this world been fair and favored someone before?”
Mu Anan’s words were sharp, but her last sentence hit Chen Hua’s sore spot.
Chen Hua lost control and shouted, “That’s because you’re doted on by this world!”
“You’re Mu Anan, the little princess of Yuyuan Garden. You can have anything you want! What about me? What about me?”
Chen Hua pointed at her heart, “My parents have always favored my younger brother since I was young. They wanted me to give everything to my younger brother. I’m not good at this or that. No one even cares about me when I cry when I’m wronged! What right do you have to lecture me here?”
“If I were pampered like you since I was young, I could also say those sarcastic words righteously.”
Mu Anan listened to Chen Hua’s out-of-control accusation.
Just as she was about to speak, Chen Hua cut her off, “You said that if I’m fat again, 1 can slim down. If I like Huo Xian, 1 can take the initiative to get close to him. But Mu Anan, how easy are those?”
“Do you know that I gained three pounds this morning? Three pounds! It’s nothing to you, but that is all I’ve gotten for what I’ve done for the past week.”
“I run as hard as I can every day. I don’t dare to eat what 1 want to eat. I control myself and eat only salad and vegetables, even if I feel dizzy! Do you know what the sun looks like at four in the morning? I know!”
“Because I ran from four to around five to six.”
“I’ve worked so hard, but why can’t 1 lose weight? I even gained three pounds instead. It’s as if they’re mocking me. They’re mocking me for being useless the harder I work!”
“And you won’t know any of that because you’re pampered. You can easily succeed in anything you do and become the best, but I’m just like this. But I can’t stand the way you’re lecturing me pretentiously when you’ve got an advantage!”
“Mu Anan, I really can’t stand your high and mighty att.i.tude!”
