"You're also friends with Jiaoyang?"

You'd have to be schinzhrophenic to be friends with yourself! Sheng Jiaoyang laughed in her head. Noticing Lin Yan's gaze, she cleared her throat and put on a serious expression. "She's my idol."

"So, you're imitating Jiaoyang!" Lin Yan's tone was certain.

Imitating myself? Sheng Jiaoyang acted like she'd heard the funniest joke ever as she burst out laughing.

Lin Yan restrained his frown. Did he say something wrong? If she wasn't deliberately imitating Jiaoyang, how could her mannerisms be identical to Jiaoyang? Even if they were extremely close friends, they wouldn't be this similar, nevermind two strangers.

Sheng Jiaoyang finished laughing before firmly saying, "If you think that I'm copying her, then so be it."

Lin Yan actually grew uncertain after hearing her words. But, even if he was now more unsure than ever, he had no better explanation for everything that he'd seen.

"You'd actually take the initiative to drink alcohol?" Sheng Jiaoyang looked at the glass of wine in Lin Yan's hand.

Lin Yan sat on the rattan chair and didn't reply.

Sheng Jiaoyang stared at him as hazy beams of light were reflected on his enchanting face. Pain suddenly stabbed her heart. From the day she'd first met him till now, it had already been six years. It went from pure and innocent adoration, to a yearning deeply entrenched in her, love at first sight, and using every possible way to get close to him. Finally, she was forced to give up on him. The flowers of her free and cheerful youth had blossomed and withered.

"Do you like Sheng Jiaoyang?" she suddenly asked. In the end, no matter what kind of reply she received, she wanted to hear it from his own mouth.

"What does that have to do with you?"

Sheng Jiaoyang stared at him and said, "That's what she always wanted to know. Since she's had an accident, I would like to ask on her behalf."

Lin Yan silently sipped his drink.

Sheng Jiaoyang giggled slightly as she nodded. "Alright, I understand." Then, she turned around and entered Lina's room without looking back, closing the balcony door and pulling the curtains over them.

Lin Yan watched the swinging chair, nostalgia and regret circling in his eyes.

When Lina came out of the bathroom, she was greeted with the sight of Sheng Jiaoyang lying on the bed staring blankly. "What happened to you?"

Sheng Jiaoyang suddenly sat up and stretched her arms out for a hug, her lips drooping in a sad smile. "Mei Niu, I've completely broken up."

"You and my cousin said to break up?" Lina's eyes widened.

Sheng Jiaoyang rolled her eyes and took her arms back from the hug. After being interrupted by Lina, her brewing sadness immediately disappeared.

"All right, let's sleep!"

Lina pounced on the bed. "Don't keep me in suspense, hurry up and tell me! How did you break up?"

"Your brother is about to get engaged. Don't tell me that's not breaking up?" Sheng Jiaoyang was poked until she couldn't stand it, giggling as she spoke.

"But, you two have never even been together before. So, wouldn't you two have always been separate?" Poison-tongued Lina made an appearance.

"..." Sheng Jiaoyang had nothing she could rebut.

Not to be outdone, Sheng Jiaoyang started to poke her back. Just like two little kids, they tickled each other until they were finally exhausted, staring at each other as they lay on the bed.
