Leaving

Good morning,

To my dearest humble readers, i saw this quote somewhere and it made me emotional.

It made my day. Take this as a gift.

Smooches

*This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.*

...

Outside the hall,

Lin Rouxue went into the ladies' toilet, and Ma Xuiying followed after her.

As her best friend, she was happy that Lin Rouxue was able to stand up to them without any pity. She had witnessed how they both treated Lin Rouxue.

Feeling indignant, Ma Xuiying had always tried to help her take revenge but Lin Rouxue always found a way to convince her not to do anything.

But after witnessing what happened in the hall, she was proud of herself.

.....

Gao Yi followed After them, while Lu Bingwen went after him.

Gao Yi was Livid, he was utterly angry when he saw Han Ping touching her in an unscrupulous manner.

He had wanted to hit him so hard. Fortunately, Lu Bingwen saw him and held him down.

Inside the ladies' toilet, Ma Xuiying had thought She would see Lin Rouxue crying.

To her greatest surprise, she saw her touching up her makeup.

Dumbfounded, Ma Xuiying said,

"To think you were coming here to cry, I'm surprised you were able to beat them at their own game."

Lin Rouxue rolled her eyes when she heard her comment.

" Xuiying, you know, someone once said.

'the way one treats himself, the set's the standard for others.' they trampled on me in the past. But now I'll give it back to them in ten folds"

Ma Xuiying sighed.

She was well aware that Lin Rouxue still had a soft spot for Han Ping.

Putting on a front wasn't helping at all.

"Xuexue. I know it's not easy to forget someone you planned on marrying. What's worse is that you both dated for seven long years.

I understand your pain and struggle. But just don't cry for him." She consoled her,

"It's been 5months since you both were over."Ma Xuiying grabbed Lin Rouxue shoulder's and sighed.

Lin Rouxue's eyes turned red. Her smiling facade crumbled.

She sniffed and hugged Ma Xuiying while complaining grudgingly.

"How could he say that about me? He... He ...he said I wore this dress to seduce him, Han Ping has known me for years and should be able to know what I can and cannot do. 'sniff'. Xuiying I want to go home. I feel disgusted just looking at his face." Ma Xuiying let out a soft sigh. Still, she refused.

"No. "

"Huh?"

"Rou'er no. To overcome your past, you don't have to keep looking for a way to escape it. You have to face it. You can cry all you want, but that doesn't mean you are weak. It only shows you have been strong for too long."

Lin Rouxue looked and wiped her tears with a tissue Ma Xuiying passed to her.

"Thank you. Xuiying... I'll stay, but only for an hour."

"Good girl. Now fix your make-up. You look ugly when you cry." Ma Xuiying said while patting her head.

Lin Rouxue chuckled at her gesture.

She cleaned up herself quickly. After which they left after that.

.....

Meanwhile, Gao Yi stood outside the ladies' restroom and heard everything they said.

He felt awful when he heard Lin Rouxue cry for Han Ping. Even after he had touched her in an unscrupulous manner.

It was going to be hard to get her back. She had feelings for Han Ping. He remembered Lu Bingwen warned him about it.

"Xiao Yi. I understand you want to pursue her, I'll give you some advice so that you won't come crying to me."Gao Yi glared at him. Unfortunately, Lu Bingwen wasn't done with what he wanted to say.
