"Zi Er, why are you not happy even though I mentioned that he will get better after he undergoes surgery...,"
"That is because his rate of survival is very low. There is a very huge possibility that he might not come out of the operation alive. The chance that YiYi will survive the surgery is very slim, Shui Shui," Yang Zi said, as the tears she had been holding back began to flow freely.
"Why won't the surgery work? Isn't it just the best neurosurgeon operating on him to...,"
"It's not that easy, Shui Shui," Yang Zi interrupted the confused Qing Shui sharply.
"The doctor said YiYi would have had a very high chance of surviving if he had undergone surgery six months ago when he discovered that he had a brain tumour....,"
"Then why didn't that annoying guy have the surgery? Is he perhaps sick of living?" Qing Shui asked angrily like it was Wang Yibo she was talking to.
"I am to be blamed Shui Shui. I am the reason YiYi is in this condition. If he had not insisted on seeing and spending time with me, his condition wouldn't have worsened. In fact, I am sure he would have long recovered if he had undergone surgery back then," Yang Zi said as her tears flowed even more.
"Zi Er, this is not your fault. If someone should be blamed, it should be that annoying guy. His stupidity is to be blamed for this," Qing Shui said as she instantly embraced Yang Zi.
"Shui Shui, you know how much I love him. Even though I can never love him in the same manner I love Feng, I still like him a lot. He is a very important person in my life...," Yang Zi sobbed as she hugged Qing Shui tighter.
"Shui Shui, I don't want to lose him. I don't think I will be able to stay sane if someone I love dies again. I am afraid I might go insane if something terrible happens to...,"
"Zi Er, refrain from saying those words because he will be alright and even though nobody else is aware of your feelings for him, I know how much you like. I still recall that there was a time you even wanted to marry him in the past," Qing Shui said not letting go of Yang Zi. She knew how desperately Yang Zi wanted to be hugged and be assured that everything will be ok.
"Although he can be very annoying, I know he is a nice guy and I quite like him a lot. He is a strong and persistent guy. Even though not for anyone else, but your sake I am sure he will pull through this. Your love will do the magic so worry no more, hmm," Qing Shui said as she patted Yang Zi's back lovingly.
"How could the two people I love so much all deceive me and make me look like a fool? As if Feng deceiving me for over two years wasn't enough, YiYi got added to the list. They have both always said that they hate seeing me hurt or in tears so why is it that these same two people who hate seeing me in tears are the ones who make me cry the most?" Yang Zi said. Qing Shui who couldn't understand what she was saying abruptly pulled out of her embrace to ask her for an explanation.
"Zi Er, what are you talking about? What do you mean by Yifeng deceived you for two years? Girl, hurry and spill the beans because I can't wait for even a minute," Qing Shui said sounding very impatient.
Yang Zi went ahead to narrate all that Li Yifeng told him that night. At the end of the story, Qing Shui was too shocked to speak. Memories of the past began replaying in her head. Even recently after Yang Zi returned, she had secretly confronted Yifeng more than twice to ask him to stay away from Yang Zi.
Be it in the past or present she had said a lot of horrible words to Yifeng not knowing that he was innocent all this while.
"Zi Er, why didn't you tell me so earlier? Why did you keep it a secret from me? If I did not decide to sleep at your place today, for how long did you plan to keep it a secret from me? Am I not important to you anymore?" Qing Shui asked sounding upset.
"Shui Shui, that's not it. I had intended to meet you after my date with YiYi but unfortunately, he collapsed just on our way out of the company. And how could you ever think that you are not important to me?" Yang Zi asked as she tried to defend herself.
"If you are not important to me in this world, then who is?" Yang Zi said as she slowly turned Qing Shui around so that she was facing her.
"I am sorry girlfriend for not calling you up after he revealed the truth to me. Honestly, I felt so hurt. I felt more than terrible. After recalling how awfully I treated him in these past two years, I wanted to kill myself...," Yang Zi trailed as she tried not to shed tears again.
"I kept on telling myself that he is too good for me and as such I don't deserve him. So many crazy thoughts had occupied my mind last night. I can't even imagine what I would have done to myself if Shu did not come back on time," Yang Zi said while staring at Qing Shui's face.
"That shows that you still love him very much. I am sure you wouldn't have felt like you were an evil witch if you had no feelings for him as you have always wanted to make us believe," Qing Shui who was now very calm, said in a meek tone.
"Zi Er, if you still love him so much then why did you promise Wang Yibo that you will get married to him? Isn't this moment supposed to be the time for you to fix your relationship with Yifeng...,"
