This was also the main reason why she had lied to them.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her and asked, âDid you friends go overboard saying things to you?â
He Qiya was silent for a while. Then she smiled, but there was some bitterness in it.
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and asked again, âWas it one of the three from earlier?â
They had really gone too far!
However, what she couldnât understand was why He Qiya still wanted to treat them as friends even after what happened.
He Qiya shook her head and said, âNo. That friend⦠went overseas with her boyfriend. Sheâs not in China now.â
âIsnât it your birthday today? Sheâs not coming back to celebrate with you?â Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised.
âItâs only a birthday. Itâs not a big deal,â said He Qiya.
âToday is your eighteenth birthday, right?â Mu Xiaoxiao looked straight into her eyes and saw a trace of sadness inside.
An eighteenth birthday marked the passage into adulthood.
Shouldnât her good friends be there to celebrate this event with her?
He Qiya smiled and said, âMy friend values boys over friends. Her boyfriend is more important to her. Of course I canât be more important than her boyfriend.â
âItâs only she who thinks that youâre not important,â Mu Xiaoxiao said.
He Qiyaâs smile stiffened.
âWhy do you care about a friend like her? Itâs not like you donât have other friends,â Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
Those three girls from earlier werenât very genuine friends either.
Evidently, He Qiya didnât want to talk about this. Her expression didnât look good as she hurriedly explained, âThey treat me as a friend. Itâs justâ¦â
Mu Xiaoxiao couldnât bear to expose her.
He Qiya laughed bitterly, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao. âYou know what? Every time I see you together with Qiqing, I feel very envious. I feel very envious of your friendship.â
She could tell from their conversations and how they touched each other how good their friendship was.
Moreover, whenever Han Qiqing was chatting with Song Shijun at the Student Union, she would mention Mu Xiaoxiao from time to time.
He Qiya could always overhear Han Qiqing talking about the things that Xiaoxiao liked, the things that she hated, and what Xiaoxiao was doing that day.
To tell if a person really treated you as a friend, you could simply tell from how they behave and talk about you behind your back.
Thus, He Qiya could see how much Han Qiqing cared about Mu Xiaoxiao.
He Qiya was green with envy at the thought of their close friendship.
Mu Xiaoxiao said to her, âYou can have that too, but you are looking for the wrong person. Those who donât treat you as a friend shouldnât be treated as a friend either!â
Hearing that, He Qiya stared blankly for some time.
Mu Xiaoxiao patted her shoulder and said, âThank you for telling me about the gift. I wish you a happy birthday.â
With that said, she got up and walked over to Yin Shaojie.
At that moment, she felt that she should give He Qiya some space to think things over.
The three girls came over to Qiya.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
