03.

I met Yitian in high school. We faced the nauseating PE teacher together, negotiated with scalpers in a torrential rain to see Jay Chou's concert, and left opponents with nowhere to run in debates. We once went to Bali together during summer vacation, but encountered a black tour guide and were locked up in a small dark room. After escaping, we went through a life-and-death test together and became blood brothers on the beach at sunset. We went to Bali together during summer vacation again, but encountered a black tour guide and were locked up in a small dark room.

I was dumped, dumped by my parents...

Why can't I come? Wherever you are, I'll be there. Is that not okay? Moreover, I heard that both of you were accepted by Orange Media. I'm so happy for you. Can I come over to congratulate you? Is that not okay? Xu Yaxin didn't mind Yi Tian's indifference.

Yi Tian hurriedly stopped me: "You haven't told me yet, what just happened?"

Why? Are you trying to set me up on a blind date?

At this point, I held Yi Tian even tighter, tears streaming down my face. However, my throat tightened and I couldn't say a word no matter how much Yi Tian asked.

In this world, there were two things that I once firmly believed in without any doubt. First, the sweet love between my parents and the harmony in our family. Second, the unwavering friendship between me and Yi Tian.

Then, I heard Yi Tian coldly shout, "Aren't you here to congratulate us? Then stay and play with everyone!"

Xu Ya, sitting next to him, still likes to wear tight-fitting dresses that almost suffocate herself. She twists her body like a water snake, with her chest pressed against Lin Chu Jian's arm, looking graceful.

At this moment, I feel so fortunate that Yi Tian chose to exchange clothes with me.

Sweet scenes are vivid in my mind, but I am well aware that from today onwards, I will never have such moments of happiness again.

After tidying up a bit, I set off for the old place.

I thought my unwavering belief had already collapsed halfway. Now, I only have you.

Obviously, she originally intended to set up a situation for me to repair my relationship with Lin Chujian. Unexpectedly, it directly led to the breakup between us, and Xu Yaxin followed along.

"Wait, hold on!" Xu Ya anxiously shouted behind me.

Hanging up the phone, I quickly wiped the tears from my face with my sleeve, patted my face, tried to clear my mind, and then attempted to force a big smile, even if it looked uglier than crying.

"I'm going out, Li Ge, aren't you dressed too shabbily today? Why are you wearing home clothes and running outside? Didn't I tell you..." When Yi Tian saw me wearing a light yellow home outfit with small rabbit prints, she was obviously surprised. Without paying attention to my teasing, she started to criticize me.

Go away, I'll leave now. You wait for me!

I don't want to turn around and see what happened behind me, so I quickened my pace to walk away.

Yi Tian's expression was like he had just eaten a fly, he rolled his eyes in disgust and asked in a cold tone, "How did you come here? I don't remember inviting you."

Yi Tian glanced at me, her expression becoming somewhat forced. She sighed and said, "Before you go in, come with me to the restroom and change your clothes."

A noisy private room suddenly became quiet.

Hello, Li Ge, are you really so fragile all of a sudden? I just said that your outfit doesn't look good, and you're acting like you've been dumped...My sudden action scared Yi Tian.

Look, I have once again fled in desperation.

I always thought I was strong enough to face everything. But when things really happened, I found myself too weak to only escape.

"Hey, you look very classy today!" I tried to joke as usual.

When I saw Lin Chujian and Xu Yaxin cuddling together, I shamefully ran away.

She is the only person in this world in front of whom I dare to shed tears and not be afraid of losing face.

Change clothes? Where do I have clothes to change? I am puzzled.

Until now, I finally understand why Yitian asked me to dress up nicely and change clothes.

Yi Tian pulled me straight into the restroom on the side, put her clothes on me, and then disdainfully put my clothes, which were covered in snot and tears, on herself. When we arrived at the door of the private room, she solemnly took out her lipstick and touched me up.

As I cried my heart out, feeling utterly helpless, to the point where I was almost begging for two yuan to cover my fare home, my phone rang in my pocket.

Originally, I wanted to pretend as if nothing had happened. But as soon as I heard Yi Tian's voice, all the emotions that I had been holding back along the way burst out instantly. I hugged Yi Tian tightly, and tears fell heavily on her shoulder.

All the people in the room, filled with items she had arranged as background props, looked at her with some anticipation.

Oh, okay. I replied with a low mood.

Li Ge, what are you doing? Today I specially organized a gathering to celebrate our joining Orange Media. Come to the biggest private room on the third floor of the usual place, and dress nicely! Yi Tian shouted on the phone, and the last sentence seemed to have a deeper meaning.

It turns out that human strength is often just self-righteousness.

Only Yitian can temporarily relieve the pain in my heart.

Yi Tian showed a somewhat disdainful expression and said, "Forget it, I can't accept your congratulations. You can keep it for yourself and digest it slowly." After speaking, she pulled me and tried to take me away.

In the moment I turned around, I felt a familiar figure following me.

When I learned about my parents' divorce, I ran away.

Xu Yaxin looked us up and down for a while, then said with a straight face, "Yi Tian, your clothes are quite fashionable!"

As the setting sun bears witness, throughout the years that followed, our bond remains like sisters, never deceiving or betraying, and never turning against each other.

Let's go. After a few hours inside, all the pain and tiredness will be gone! After crying and feeling tired, I pulled Yi Tian and prepared to rush into the private room.

Yi Tian blinked her eyes sweetly and pushed open the door of the private room like opening a gift.

She hesitated.

As soon as I arrived at the old place on the third floor, I spotted Yi Tian wearing a white off-the-shoulder shirt and wide-leg jeans. The hem of her shirt was tucked into her waistband, which made her petite figure appear a bit taller. She looked simple yet stylish.

Long story short, I'll explain after the call. I continued to walk towards the private room, but was stopped by Yi Tian. Feeling somewhat helpless, I said, "At the very least, let me vent first. Once I'm done venting, I'll tell you everything as it is."

I shook her hand, gesturing for her to stay and entertain her friends. Then I said to everyone, "I have something to attend to, so as not to spoil everyone's mood, I'll head back first..." After saying that, I turned and left.

"Why does your voice sound a bit off? Are you crying? Oh my, Li Ge, don't scare me! Are you at home or somewhere else now? Could it be that you heard about my promotion and couldn't help but cry tears of joy?" Yi Tian teased me.

Under the dim light, I spotted Lin Chujian at a glance. He was sitting in the corner, and it was only because of the reflection of his white shirt that I could see his gaze also directed at me. I used to dislike him wearing white shirts, but for the first time, I felt that there was something admirable about it.
