"I won't!" Shi Xin Xin said very firmly. "Don't spout nonsense. I'll live a good life, eating and drinking well. Then I'll go to class every day, and maybe I can even find a foreign boyfriend and dump Sheng Chen Jin to the farthest corner of the earth."
"Heh!" Hearing Shi Xin Xin say that, Tang Tang could only respond with those two words.
Those two words were enough to make Shi Xin Xin furious. "You just look down on me, Tang Tang. I'll make you regret it, and you'll know that today you look down on me, and tomorrow you'll be left with your jaw dropped in surprise, seeing what kind of comfortable life I, Miss Shi Xin Xin, am living."
"Oh really? Then I'd be very happy to be left with my jaw dropped in surprise, watching what kind of comfortable life you, Miss Shi Xin Xin, are living," Tang Tang retorted.
The two of them chatted happily on the phone.
"Since you want to live a comfortable life, I don't mind dropping another big piece of news on you." Tang Tang's entire demeanor was one of great mystery as she said this.
It was precisely because of Tang Tang's tone that Shi Xin Xin became very curious. "Tell me, what is it you want to say?"
Tang Tang knew that Shi Xin Xin was completely hooked by her tone.
So, Tang Tang continued, "I saw the person you can't stop thinking about."
How could Shi Xin Xin not know who Tang Tang was talking about?
At that moment, Shi Xin Xin fell silent again, not saying a word, not even seeming to breathe.
Tang Tang knew that her words had touched Shi Xin Xin's sore spot again.
"Don't just dwell on your sadness. I'll tell you what I saw. What I saw will make you even more heartbroken."
"Alright, stop talking. I don't want to know anything about that person," Shi Xin Xin interrupted Tang Tang immediately.
Actually, Shi Xin Xin said this because she could imagine from Tang Tang's descriptions that Sheng Chen Jin might already have a new flame. Wasn't that beautiful classmate of his the one?
"Even if you don't want to hear it, I have to say it. Your Sheng Chen Jin has long forgotten you. Xiao Feng and I went out and saw him with a beautiful woman. Xiao Feng wanted me to take a picture to show you the true face of that man, but I didn't do it because I was afraid you'd be sad."
Tang Tang spoke, wanting to test Shi Xin Xin's reaction, but Shi Xin Xin seemed to say nothing, remaining silent.
So, Tang Tang continued, "Honestly, I didn't want to tell you at all. But I didn't expect you to be so determined to escape his world, so I have to tell you this so you can move on from his shadow faster."
"Shadow? It's not that bad," Shi Xin Xin mumbled softly.
But Tang Tang still heard her. "I'm telling you, Shi Xin Xin. In one year, no matter what, you must forget that man. Otherwise, I will scold you and beat you. I will do whatever it takes to make you forget that man."
Facing the formidable Tang Tang, Shi Xin Xin could only give a wry smile. "Alright, alright, aren't I trying very hard to forget? Please, you're the one who brought up this man in the first place."
Shi Xin Xin's words left Tang Tang with nothing to refute, so she fell silent.
Suddenly, Tang Tang brought up a question. "By the way, what about your suitor?"
"What suitor?" Shi Xin Xin asked Tang Tang in surprise.
"The big celebrity. Wasn't it for you that he moved behind the scenes and rarely appears in front of the camera?" Tang Tang said.
Shi Xin Xin finally understood who Tang Tang was talking about. "Are you talking about Xu Jia Yi?"
"I think that's his name." Tang Tang looked at the ceiling, as if trying to recall the appearance of the person named Xu Jia Yi.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's impossible between him and me."
"Why? Although people in the entertainment industry aren't very reliable, and there are many temptations, I don't think it's a big deal. If he truly cares about you, you might consider it."
Tang Tang's words surprised Shi Xin Xin.
"Tang Tang, am I hearing you correctly? Does that sound like something Tang Tang would say?" Shi Xin Xin's voice on the phone rose by eight octaves.
For some reason, Tang Tang felt inexplicably angry at Shi Xin Xin's words. "What? Is what I'm saying wrong?"
"Of course it's wrong!" Shi Xin Xin immediately rejected Tang Tang. "You didn't think this way before. You used to think people in the entertainment industry were unreliable and that you shouldn't have anything to do with them, no matter what. Have you forgotten?"
How could Tang Tang forget Shi Xin Xin's reminder? She truly disliked those people before, always feeling that they would sell anything for profit, and that getting resources was like a palace intrigue.
"I used to think that, but people always change, don't they?" Tang Tang said. "After all, Xu Jia Yi was willing to give up the opportunity to earn quick money in front of the camera for you. I think it's worth a try."
"But I'm not interested, and I truly have no feelings for him," Shi Xin Xin still refused.
But Tang Tang didn't say anything more. After all, Tang Tang also knew that relationships between people were so peculiar. If there were no feelings, then there were truly no feelings. Otherwise, they would have already been like dry wood and raging fire. Shi Xin Xin wouldn't have had to go all the way to America to forget Sheng Chen Jin.
"Alright, I understand," Tang Tang said. "I'm just reminding you that you have a good knight by your side. When you return from America, if your knight is still willing, you might as well give it a try. I'll support you no matter what."
Shi Xin Xin didn't answer Tang Tang's question. Perhaps it was because she hadn't yet come out of Sheng Chen Jin's emotional turmoil that Shi Xin Xin always felt that there was no possibility between her and Xu Jia Yi.
Even though Shi Xin Xin knew very well that Tang Tang's suggestion was merely to make Shi Xin Xin accept Xu Jia Yi and forget her past relationship.
But Shi Xin Xin believed that doing so would be very unfair to both her past relationship and to Xu Jia Yi. Especially to Xu Jia Yi, he shouldn't be her healer, and she shouldn't use Xu Jia Yi to forget a relationship.
