Bai Yueran's hand trembled, and she looked up at Bai Shuang in surprise. For a moment, she was at a loss and murmured, "You … you … you knew?"
Bai Shuang nodded and looked down at the double-ear milk coffee cup in her hand. She said indifferently, "I saw you two kissing in the parking lot."
Bai Yueran closed her eyes, feeling extremely awkward.
She wanted to wait until after the New Year to clarify things with Bai Shuang so that Bai Shuang could have a good New Year. She didn't expect Bai Shuang to find out so early.
So this was the reason why Bai Shuang had been depressed recently, right?
And she insisted on moving out of their house.
Bai Yueran sighed and nodded heavily. "… Yes, we're together."
Bai Shuang's heart sank. Although she already knew the answer, she was still extremely disappointed.
She was mentally prepared, but hearing it from her own ears was still a bit unbearable.
She held the coffee cup tightly and calmed herself down after a while. "If that's the case, why did you encourage me to pursue Little Ze?"
She frowned and looked at Bai Yueran. "If you like him and he likes you, what do you mean by doing this?"
Bai Yueran had always done things in a straightforward manner, but in terms of feelings, she really wasn't straightforward enough this time.
But who could say for sure when it came to feelings?
Who could immediately recognize one's true feelings?
Bai Yueran took a deep breath and pursed her lips. She gathered her courage and said, "I won't hide it from you. In the beginning, I did think that Little Ze didn't quite match my expectations for my other half. I thought I admired him, but not to the extent of falling in love with him. "
Bai Shuang raised her eyebrows. "And then?"
"And then when I found out that you liked Little Ze so much, I felt that I should still let you try." Bai Yueran raised her hand. "I swear, at that time, I definitely didn't take the initiative toward Little Ze, nor did I give him any hints."
Bai Shuang looked at Bai Yueran quietly. Although she tried her best to hold it in, her eyes still reddened.
She looked up at the small LED lights embedded in the living room ceiling like stars and choked out, "… Can I believe you? Sis, since young, you've always been the person I admire the most. You've always been the 'other people's daughter' in my parents' words. You're my role model and the goal I've been chasing after! "
"I'm sorry …" Bai Yueran also felt bad. She sat next to Bai Shuang and hugged her. "Shuang, I never thought of stealing your boyfriend, but Little Ze doesn't love you … I was moved by him and fell in love with him … If you want to blame someone, blame me for going back on my word …"
Bai Shuang's body had been stiff the entire time, and she refused to approach Bai Yueran. She turned her head and straightened her neck. Tears streamed down her face, and she wept silently and sorrowfully.
Bai Yueran was very understanding of Bai Shuang's feelings. She was also very upset. She owed this younger sister a lot.
Her uncle, Bai Yusheng, who was also Bai Shuang's father, had defected and fled the country. Bai Yueran had never regretted reporting him.
Although Bai Yusheng was Bai Yueran's relative, everyone had the right to punish him for his treason.
But because of her actions, Bai Shuang lost her father.
Now, because of her, Bai Shuang didn't even have a crush on her.
It could be said that the double blow of kinship and love came from her.
Bai Yueran felt even more guilty.
"How can you do this?! I've liked him for a long time! I know he also has feelings for me! If you want to reject him, be more resolute! Sister, I'm so upset! I'm so sad! Why did you still come to see me?! I really don't want to see you again … "
Bai Shuang held it in for a long time, and finally burst into tears under Bai Yueran's embrace. It seemed that she wanted to vent all her pain and unwillingness through her tears.
Bai Yueran hugged Bai Shuang silently, letting her beat her, reject her, and even scold her …
After Bai Shuang vented her anger to her heart's content, she finally felt a little better.
She looked at Bai Yueran and saw that her expensive white turtleneck cashmere sweater was a mess from her tears and snot.
"… I'll get you some clothes to change into." Bai Shuang stood up from the sofa and slipped into the bedroom.
Bai Yueran looked at herself with a bitter smile, knowing that this cashmere sweater was useless.
She sat in the living room for a while, and Bai Shuang came out with a lake-green cashmere cardigan. "Sister, you can wear this. It's your size, it's a little big for me."
Bai Yueran looked up at Bai Shuang and realized that she had lost a lot of weight recently.
"Shuang …" Bai Yueran took the cashmere sweater from her. "In the future, you will meet better people, people who will truly love you wholeheartedly."
Bai Shuang pulled a long face and curled her lips disdainfully. "Save your chicken soup for the soul, I don't buy it."
Bai Shuang rubbed her eyes that were red and swollen from crying. She sat down on the sofa and said lightly, "I'm going to travel abroad tomorrow."
Bai Yueran was startled and sat down opposite her with the cashmere sweater. "Tomorrow? Why are you going out again? "
"If I don't go abroad, am I supposed to stay here and watch the two of you show off your love every day? I'm afraid I won't be able to resist chopping you up with a knife! "Bai Shuang turned her head away in a fit of pique, but the anger in her heart still lingered.
Bai Yueran smiled bitterly and shook her head. "You don't have to. Little Ze isn't in the country, so how can we show our love to you? "
Bai Shuang was stunned. "He's not in the country? I was wondering why you guys didn't take the opportunity to go on a date during the New Year. You even had the time to come here and chat. "
"He's on a mission anyway." Bai Yueran lay back on the sofa and rubbed her temples. "Don't ask me where he went. I won't tell you even if I know."
"I won't ask." Bai Shuang cleaned up the coffee cups on the coffee table and remembered Zhao Liangze's call to her just now. She asked casually, "Then you can chat on the phone, text, or chat … What's there to worry about between lovers?"
Bai Yueran just shook her head.
She also didn't know why Little Ze had been sent to a small island where birds didn't even lay eggs. It was questionable whether there was even electricity, so how could he have had the opportunity to chat on the phone, text, or even chat online with her?!
However, she couldn't tell Bai Shuang about this, so she could only change the subject in the end. "After I said goodbye to Little Ze in the parking lot that day, I never saw him again, and I couldn't get through to him on the phone. I asked Big Xiong and found out that he had gone abroad. "
"Goodbye kiss. That was a goodbye kiss." Bai Shuang's tone still had a hint of resentment and jealousy.
Bai Yueran was also very embarrassed, so she could only change the subject again. "You're going abroad tomorrow. Have you bought the plane ticket? Where are you going? "
Bai Shuang pointed to the suitcase in the room. "I'm going to Florida in the United States for a while, then I'm going to South America to see the Mayan ruins. I've always wanted to go there, but I haven't been since I lived in Central America for so long. It's quite a pity. This time, I want to go to all the places I've ever wanted to go. "
"Okay, remember to send me postcards, and every time you arrive, send me a WeChat message to let me know you're safe, okay?" Bai Yueran didn't stop her anymore.
She knew that Bai Shuang didn't have the heart to work right now, so going abroad to relax was a good choice. She didn't lack money anyway.
"Okay." Bai Shuang nodded sullenly.
Her parents were now dead and she was traveling overseas alone, so she really had to keep in touch with Bai Yueran.
Of course, it was impossible to chat without any ill feelings like before. At least Bai Shuang hadn't completely forgiven Bai Yueran.
Bai Yueran also knew that Bai Shuang still had a knot in her heart, so it was impossible to let go of the past immediately.
She could only let time dilute all the pain.
Bai Yueran sat for a while and helped Bai Shuang pack her things for the trip abroad before leaving.
Not long after she left, Bai Shuang heard her phone ring again.
She carried the suitcase in one hand and swiped the phone with the other. As soon as she answered the call, she realized that it was actually Zhao Liangze's voice!
He actually changed his number and called again!
Bai Shuang was furious. She simply raised the phone to her ear and said angrily, "Zhao Liangze! Don't go too far! I've already blocked you! Block me, do you understand?! "
Zhao Liangze's clear voice came from the phone. "Shuang, why did you block me? Can't I even say Happy New Year to you? "
"No!" Bai Shuang objected without hesitation. "Zhao Liangze, don't even think about having a foot in both boats and trying to benefit from both of us!"
"I'm not that despicable!" Zhao Liangze was also angry. "Bai Shuang! I'm calling to greet you and say sorry to you. What's with your attitude?! Do you know how hard it is for me to make a phone call?! Don't just quarrel with me! "
