Chapter 144: Cursed to Be Single
"Silly girl, are you in love?" Yueyue hit the nail on the head.
"..."
Fan Yue laughed on the other line, "Speechless, aren’t you? You’re not one to shy away from challenges, you’re just afraid of relationships. Whenever it comes to deepening a relationship, you retreat. It’s fate that I could become your friend!"
Tu Hengsha admitted Fan Yue was right. She seemed outgoing and lively, but it was just a facade. Inside, she was lonely. She kept most people at a superficial distance, except for Fan Yue. It was her way of self-preservation as those closest could hurt you the most. So she kept everyone at a distance where no one could hurt her.
"Little Sha, who’s that person?" Fan Yue began gossiping.
"..." A name lingered on her tongue, but she couldn’t say it. After hesitating for a long time, she was still indecisive, "I don’t know if he is or not..."
"You’re such a silly girl!" Fan Yue was exasperated, "Little Sha, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say who he is. Let me ask you, is he important to you?"
"Important!" she answered without thinking, "Very important, very important."
"What about his character?"
"He should be pretty good, honest..." She recalled his serious demeanor. If he wasn’t a good person, he wouldn’t have saved a girl he didn’t know.
"Then it’s fine!" Fan Yue said, "Little Sha, I know you’re used to facing everything in life alone. I know what you’re afraid of, but sometimes, it’s not about seeing the result before deciding what to do. If results could be predicted, what’s the point of life? Besides, we don’t have the ability to foresee what will happen tomorrow, so just live today well! As long as today is happy, follow your heart."
