MIRAGE
(YIZHAN -Wattpad)
••••••••••

Xiao Zhan looked at the pale face before him, the big bags under the reddened eyes, the reddish nose and that bitter expression. On his friend's face there was no longer the huge and beautiful smile that used to adorn it.

It was the first time he saw his best friend like that. Shen Yue has always been energetic and cheerful. How long has she lost her smile? He has been so immersed in his things and his world that he hasn't even noticed this detail.

Now that he has her in front of him, he can't help but feel guilty. He feels that he is the one who has caused this whole situation. If it hadn't been for their close and intimate relationship, for the displays of affection or perhaps some wrong words, that girl wouldn't have ended up falling for him.

Maybe he had dragged her into it, but he hadn't done it intentionally. He just wanted to give her back the same love and dedication she had given him.

She had done so much for him, even giving up her dreams to accompany him in search of his own. Now he couldn't erase the bitter guilt that overwhelmed him as he watched the dejected girl.

- If you're sick, let me take you to the hospital.

- No.- She smiled softly.- I just feel exhausted.

- A'Yue...

- You should go back.- She looked up.- There are many things to do and the date is almost around the corner.

- I am very sorry for my actions in recent days.

- ........- She pressed her hands together.

- That day you took me by surprise. I shouldn't have run away, I should have faced you and talked but I was terrified.

- Does it terrify you to think that I like you? - She smiled bitterly.

- No, I'm terrified to think that I'm going to lose my dear sister. - He tried to bring his hand closer to the girl's cheek but she pulled it away.

- But I don't want to be your sister.- Her eyes became moist.- When did I ask you? Are you blind or stupid?

- ..... - He stared at her.

- My behavior during this time... Has it been that of a sister?

- I...- He lowered his head.- I never thought you would feel something more.

- 14 years, I've been by your side for 14 years Xiao Zhan.- She shed tears.- Can't you see it yet?.- She smiled.- I've been patient because I feel that at some point you will realize. Do you know what I've had to endure?.- She burst into tears.- I've had to watch as a number of girls come in and out either from your office or somewhere in the theater after one of your famous encounters.- She hit her chest.- Do you have any idea how I've felt? While they just want a moment of fun I want it all with you and I can't have it.

- I know it's my fault for creating false expectations for you, but I swear it wasn't my intention. - He shook his head. - I can't, I really can't see you as anything else. You were by my side in my hardest moment, you supported me and took care of me, I see you as my family.

- To hell with family! - She screamed in pain.- I want to be yours. I want to be your wife, not your sister.

- You can ask me for anything but that.- His eyes filled with tears.- I'm sorry A'Yue.
