Love So Sweet

Because of this, Zhang Li Xue did not dare to look up and meet her best friend’s gaze. She was afraid that she would be soft-hearted when she saw Fang Su Jin’s crying face. This time, Zhang Li Xue was not planning to make things easier and let Fang Su Jin get away very quickly.

Fang Su Jin’s heart was aching when her friend did not raise her head to look at her. This made her realize that Zhang Li Xue was angrier than she had thought. The thought that their friendship would be over because of her made her sadder.

Fang Su Jin was about to step up to continue to speak when she heard her speak.

“What are you apologizing for?”

Fang Su Jin froze for a few seconds. She lowered her gaze and spoke, “I should have told you that I was seeing your brother.”

Zhang Li Xue was relieved that Fang Su Jin was aware of her wrong. Slowly, she raised her head and saw Fang Su Jin’s teary-eyed face.

Her best friend was such a crybaby. How can she cry this easily?

It made her feel as if she was bullying Fang Su Jin too much.

.....

Fang Su Jin walked over to her friend’s side and spoke, “Li Xue, I shouldn’t keep this a secret from you.” Her voice sounded funny because she has been crying.

“Then, why didn’t you tell me anything?” Zhang Li Xue raised her head and stared into Fang Su Jin’s eyes. “Su Jin, is it because you did not trust me?”

“It’s not because of that.”

“I tell you everything. When I was starting to date Bai Qi, I told you about it and let you keep the secret from my family.” Zhang Li Xue wiped her tears. “Su Jin, I trust you very much and thought that you would feel the same.”

Fang Su Jin crouched beside the wheelchair and held Zhang Li Xue’s hands. She did not like it when her best friend was cold to her. Zhang Li Xue was an important person in her life and she did not want to lose her as a friend. Whatever it is, she will have to coax this friend until she accepted her apology.

“Li Xue, you know that I trust you the most. We grew up together and faced a lot together. You’re just like my sister.”

“Do you think I mind that you are dating my brother?” Zhang Li Xue said. ” Su Jin, I don’t mind it at all. I even let you call me sister-in-law. Don’t you see how much I liked you?”

Of course, Fang Su Jin could still remember how that happened. But thinking about that made her heart ache very much. Zhang Li Xue had always been one of her biggest supporters, right?

“I know that you did not mind it. I wanted to tell you. Really. I do. But I was embarrassed.”

“What are you embarrassed about?” Zhang Li Xue spoke. “Is dating my little brother something you should be embarrassed about?”

“That’s not what I meant.” Fang Su Jin grew flustered. “It’s just that, I did not know how long are we going to stay together. If something happened and we broke up, then what will happen to our friendship? It would be awkward for me to find you again. After all, you are Yi Hai’s sister. I don’t want us to stop being friends.”

Zhang Li Xue stared at her friend in disbelief. There was a long silence between them and the only sounds they could hear were Fang Su Jin’s sniffles. After a while, Zhang Li Xue inhaled a deep breath. The look in her eyes had turned gentler. “Su Jin, you’re an idiot.”

“Yes, I am the biggest idiot.” Fang Su Jin lowered her gaze and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Whatever it is that Zhang Li Xue said, she would agree to it.

“Even if the two of you break up, I won’t lose you as my friend,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Instead, I would help you to beat my brother.”

Fang Su Jin sniffled. “Why are you going to beat your brother?”

“Isn’t it obvious? If the two of you break up, it must be Yi Hai’s fault. Anyway, he is an idiot who did not know how to treat a woman nicely.”

Zhang Li Xue could not remember just how many times she was bullied by her little brother. It seemed that after they grew up, this little brother bullied her a lot. This person treated all men and women the same. How can he be gentle to Su Jin?

At the hotel’s swimming pool, Zhang Yi Hai who was watching the people swimming suddenly sneezed without warning. He looked around and had a feeling that someone was scolding him.

Meanwhile, Fang Su Jin’s eyes got teary again. She leaned over and hugged Zhang Li Xue tightly. Fang Su Jin buried her face in Zhang Li Xue’s arms and started to cry to vent her feelings.

Fang Su Jin’s crying voice made her heart ache. After a while, Zhang Li Xue started to cry as well. She gritted her teeth tightly, hoping that she could suppress the urge to cry, but in the end, Zhang Li Xue still failed.

“Su Jin, you silly woman, look at what you’ve done,” Zhang Li Xue spoke between her sobs. “You made me cry as well.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Then, stop crying.”

Fang Su Jin pulled away and sniffled. Her face turned red as she had to suppress herself from crying again.

Zhang Li Xue thought that the look on Fang Su Jin’s face was too funny. She could not help but laugh and cry at the same time.

The two girls looked at each other and suddenly, the air around them began to improve as well.

Fang Su Jin inhaled a deep breath and spoke. “Li Xue, I’m sorry. Will you forgive me? Don’t be angry alright?”

“You have to promise that you will never hide something so important from me again.”

Fang Su Jin raised a hand. “I promise.”

Zhang Li Xue heaved a sigh. “Then, come here.” She waved her hand, motioning for Fang Su Jin to come closer so that she could hug her again.

“Su Jin,” Zhang Li Xue called after a brief silence between them.

“En?”

“Quick. Call me sister-in-law.”

Fang Su Jin’s lips twitched. She could not believe that this friend was still teasing her.
