Chapter 598 - 164. Snake too, I too_3
But...
Can we still be considered friends if we do this?
A facade upfront, a different story behind.
How am I different from the people I despised before by doing this?
"..."
Hesitating, Spencer’s expression struggled for a second.
Then, she gradually shifted her gaze away, making an effort not to look at An Le’s pleading eyes and finally said,
"I’m sorry, An Le... deceiving a friend, I... I can’t do it."
"..."
Upon hearing Spencer’s words, which seemed to answer nothing yet everything, the last glimmer of hope in An Le’s wide eyes completely shattered.
She stared blankly at Spencer, who was avoiding her gaze, and her hands, which had been tightly gripping Spencer’s clothes, began to tremble and slowly let go,
"Friends... haha... friends..."
"Because we are friends, so..."
Spencer wanted to salvage something and quickly looked at An Le.
But all she saw was An Le, whose eyes were empty and expression stony and terrifying,
"Don’t joke, Spencer. From the beginning to the end, you never really considered me a friend, did you?"
A horrific pressure gradually seeped out from her cracked heart, causing Spencer to shudder in an unprecedented fear.
But she wasn’t afraid, instead, she looked at the extremely pained An Le and retorted palely,
"I did not..."
"Yes, I... why would I even expect you to help me? In your eyes, your promises were just flippant remarks, and only I foolishly took the matters of the Hentai Club to heart..."
Letting go of Spencer, An Le shook her head blankly,
"I have nothing, not wealthy enough, nor excellent enough... It was my own unwarranted expectations, so my disappointment is also... quite normal, isn’t it?"
"Boom!"
The sky, the clouds had finally gathered to an irreversible extent.
With the lightning roaring, raindrops fell like tears which could no longer be held back, falling to soothe the pain.
Those tears struck An Le’s messy hair, snapping her back from her daze.
Her empty eyes drooped, shrouding her dark expression.
She no longer spoke, but simply turned quietly and walked home.
"An Le!"
Seeing this, Spencer’s heart ached slightly.
She pursed her lips, wanting to reach out and hold her back.
"Buzz! Buzz!!"
"Crack!"
But the next moment, a terrible sensation surged into her heart.
Her extended right hand suddenly numbed, and an indescribable pleasure instantly pierced through her resistance to everything.
Spencer’s half body was immediately dominated by that pleasure, causing her to numbly half-kneel on the ground.
"..."
Spencer didn’t understand what happened, only feeling uncomfortable and covering her right hand, she looked up at An Le’s figure in the stormy weather.
The strong wind whipped her black hair wildly, but she didn’t look back, only saying,
"We are no longer friends, Spencer."
"An Le!"
After those words, An Le didn’t stop but walked further and further out of Spencer’s sight.
No matter how Spencer wanted to get up and hold her back, the surging pleasure felt as though it shattered not only her resistance but also her senses, rendering her temporarily immobile.
So, she could only watch as An Le left her.
...
...
"Whoosh~~"
The rain poured down, drenching the lonely An Le walking on the street.
She didn’t head home but drifted aimlessly like a lost leaf on the sea.
"Whoosh~~"
Until her body was thoroughly soaked, and her hair weighed heavy by the rain blanketed her originally beautiful face.
Her recently recovered body finally felt exhausted, and she randomly picked a deserted alley, sitting against the wall.
She hugged her knees, her gaze empty as she stared ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Hiss~"
At that moment, a white snake, hissing, crawled towards An Le against the stream of rainwater.
A sigh, a lament,
"Fantasizing and hoping from others is the outcome. Do you think being wholeheartedly good to others guarantees reciprocation?"
The white snake climbed onto An Le’s body, looked up at her, and said helplessly,
"Such a fool."
"..."
An Le blankly looked ahead, and finally, a trace of confusion appeared on her stagnant face.
This time, she even forgot to speak to Little Thumb in her mind, and instead spoke as if talking to herself,
"I don’t understand... why Spencer would do this to me... I truly considered her a friend...
"Is it just because I have nothing, because I’m too timid?
"I don’t want to hurt anyone; I just want everyone to be happy and joyful. Why does everyone want to hurt me?"
Just then, outside the alley, a few young men with umbrellas suddenly heard a soft, muffled sob among the sound of the rain.
One of the boys paused, then gently tapped the shoulder of his friend in front and pointed into the alley.
The rest glanced and suddenly noticed the lonely girl sitting on the ground in a white dress.
"..."
Seeing the girl drenched all over, the leader inevitably swallowed.
"Whoosh~~"
Footsteps broke through the curtain of rain, barging into the cramped alley.
One of the young men exchanged a glance, signaling his friends to block the other end to prevent the prey from escaping from the other side.
