"Nini, I heard everything. You just confessed to Lin Ran. I never thought you'd be this kind of person."
Huo Haini.
"Liu Ruxue, don’t make it sound so ugly. I’ve always tolerated you, given in to you, and even helped you sche—all because I genuinely considered you a sister. But you lost Lin Ran because of your own stupidity."
"Nini, you—"
"What? You won’t even let speak now? Who else can you bla for your own foolishness? You’re such a two-faced flirt, always stringing guys along, and now you expect to help you win Lin Ran back?"
Liu Ruxue’s chest heaved with anger.
"Why? Why are you doing this to ? I treated you like a sister, and yet you like Lin Ran?"
Huo Haini scoffed. "So what if I like Lin Ran? Does he have your na written on him? Why can’t I compete for him?"
"Do you really think everything you want automatically belongs to you, Liu Ruxue? You self-righteous bitch."
At that mont, Huo Haini snapped.
She couldn’t keep pretending anymore. Every ti she was with Liu Ruxue, all the guys would orbit around her.
It had been eating at her for a long ti.
She’d held it in again and again, but now she couldn’t take it anymore. She might as well lay it all out today. That way, the next ti she saw Lin Ran, she could compete openly.
But what she didn’t realize was that she was about to face the harsest punishnt of her life.
Liu Ruxue was stunned. This was the first ti Huo Haini had ever spoken to her like this.
She had always considered Huo Haini her closest friend, soone she trusted with everything—including her feelings for Lin Ran. Because she once believed that sisterhood far outweighed any man.
n could be replaced, but true friends were rare.
But now—
Liu Ruxue scread, "Huo Haini, what have I ever done to wrong you? Why would you betray and steal my man behind my back?"
Huo Haini laughed coldly.
"Ha! You’re hilarious. ‘Your man’? Liu Ruxue, get a grip. Lin Ran was never yours. In the past, he was your simp. Now, you’re his."
"You—!" Liu Ruxue felt like her lungs were about to explode from rage.
Huo Haini: "From today on, we’re done."
With that, Huo Haini shot Lin Ran a coy smile and walked away without another glance. She didn’t want to stay and watch Liu Ruxue’s pitiful act—as if she were the victim here.
Liu Ruxue collapsed to the ground, sobbing.
Seeing that the catfight was over and there was nothing left to spectate, Lin Ran turned to leave.
Liu Ruxue suddenly cried out, "Lin Ran, I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! I was wrong—this ti, I truly know I was wrong!"
But Lin Ran ignored her. Liu Ruxue couldn’t even push past his bodyguards.
Desperate, she pulled out her phone and tapped on Lin Ran’s profile.
[I’m sorry. I always thought Huo Haini was my best friend. I never imagined she’d betray like this. I regret everything—I shouldn’t have listened to her. Lin Ran, please stay with . I’m in so much pain.]
She hit send.
A red exclamation mark appeared.
Liu Ruxue broke down completely.
In that mont, she suddenly rembered all the tis Lin Ran had been good to her.
Every ti she needed help, he was there, standing in front of her like a hero. But what had she done in return?
She took it all for granted.
Back then, she really had been the most important person in Lin Ran’s life.
She was so sure of it—even his own family couldn’t compare.
That’s why she refused to believe he didn’t love her anymore.
But his indifference now crushed her.
"I really lost him… wu wu wu!"
After crying for a while, Liu Ruxue suddenly felt an urge to return to their old campus.
So she disguised herself and went back.
Luckily, the chilly weather made masks and hats normal, so no one recognized her. Otherwise, she’d have been sward again.
Walking across the school grounds, mories flooded back.
That ti Lin Ran confessed to her right here on this field.
And the basketball court where he used to play.
Outside the dormitory, where he once told her, "I’ll make you the happiest woman in the world."
Her response back then? "I don’t want to date before graduation, Lin Ran. Don’t pressure ."
Rembering the warmth in his eyes that day, Liu Ruxue smiled.
But staring at the empty dormitory now, her smile twisted into tears.
They fell like broken strings of pearls.
The man who loved her most was gone. Her best friend had betrayed her.
Lin Ran used to be so pure, so devoted to her—and she had thrown him away?
This ti, she truly understood her mistake.
"Wu wu wu! Lin Ran, I know I was wrong! Please forgive ! Why won’t you look back at ? Didn’t you love the most?"
Just as Liu Ruxue was drowning in despair, a girl approached her.
"Liu Ruxue!"
"No, I’m not—" Liu Ruxue quickly denied.
The girl sighed.
"I get it. I know how you feel about Lin Ran."
Liu Ruxue stared at her in shock—had she finally found soone who understood?
"Who are you?"
"Just a junior. I’ve liked soone for a long ti too, so I know what you’re going through."
Liu Ruxue frowned, confused. Why was this stranger telling her this?
"I had a crush on a senior, but my best friend kept manipulating into testing him. But I was luckier than you—now, we’re together."
Liu Ruxue’s eyes lit up.
"Really? Then can I—? Why won’t Lin Ran forgive ? I was just manipulated by Huo Haini too! And that thing with Lin Jian—he tricked ! I was just a victim! I’ve always loved Lin Ran the most. Why doesn’t he get that?"
The girl’s eyes filled with pity, but inside, she was screaming.
Oh my god, what kind of delusional princess is this?
"Do you know why Lin Ran won’t take you back?"
"Why?"
"Because of Huo Haini. He resents her. Every ti he sees you, he rembers how you neglected him—and Huo Haini was the one who orchestrated it all."
Liu Ruxue’s gaze sharpened.
"I bet Huo Haini repeatedly told you not to commit to Lin Ran but also not to let him go, right? It was that push-and-pull that made him give up on you completely."
She was right. This was all Huo Haini’s fault.
Liu Ruxue rembered clearly—there was a ti she had been so moved by Lin Ran, ready to say yes, but Huo Haini intervened, convincing her to "test him for a few more years."
