The surface of the sea was calm, but the waves in the mainland were turbulent. No one knew what would happen after this peace and quiet that they would not be able to handle. Everything had just begun. The cards of love had just begun to be sent to everyone.

Bai Lin didn't know why her good friend Xia Xue was so cold to her recently, and sometimes she would even talk to her with a hint of hostility. She carefully thought back on her recent interactions with Xia Xue, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of anything she had done to make Xia Xue unhappy. This was truly a puzzling matter. Bai Lin decided to find some time to talk to Xia Xue and ask her about the situation, saving herself from being confused.

That day, after Bai Lin finished her part-time job at the teahouse, she packed her things and prepared to talk to Xia Xue about their recent situation. I hope this is just me thinking too much. In Bai Lin's idea of making friends, if there was something wrong with their friendship, the two of them should talk openly and discuss their thoughts face to face. And Bai Lin had always carried out this idea of hers throughout her entire life.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave the store, Xia Xue came in. When Bai Lin first saw Xia Xue, she was very happy from the bottom of her heart. So it turned out that the tacit understanding between the two still existed. He had originally wanted to look for her, but Xia Xue had already appeared in front of his eyes.

Bai Lin held Xia Xue's hand and sat in a small corner near the window of the teahouse. Bai Lin felt that since the two of them wanted to talk, they should choose a quiet environment. Only then would they be able to open their hearts and reveal their inner thoughts. Bai Lin told her waiter to bring some snacks and summer snacks and two cappuccinos.

The warm sunlight shone from the large window onto the dining table where Bai Lin and Xia Xue were sitting. The rays of sunlight gathered on the dining table's glass, forming a strange circle of light. That indescribable shape was like the strange separation in Bai Lin's heart at the moment, tightly occupying the bottom of her heart. The sense of discomfort and isolation in Bai Lin's heart grew stronger and stronger.

After the two of them sat in silence for two minutes, Kabcino brought it up. Both Bai Lin and Xia Xue simultaneously stirred the foam in their small coffee cups with a spoon. In the past, when the two of them sat like this, they would stick their spoons into each other's coffee cups, stir up the foam in each other's cups, and then mock each other for being disgusting and tormenting each other for what they wanted to drink. However, this was a game they would happily play.

But now. Both of them were casually stirring the surface of the cappuccino in front of them. The previous intimacy was gone. Sitting across from each other was like two strangers who were deep in their hearts, sitting on their own matters apathetically. Fortunately, Xia Xue's tea pancakes came up later on. Bai Lin placed the tea pancakes in front of Xia Xue and tried to use her soft and stiff voice to speak to Xia Xue'er: "Xue'er, eat, your favorite tea pancake!" After saying that, he even smiled at Xia Xue.

However, in Xia Xue's eyes, it first seemed like a sharp sword, slicing straight through her heart, just like the dazzling sunlight of summer, ruthlessly burning her eyes. Xia Xue pushed the tea cake to her side and didn't pick it up. In his heart full of hatred, what could arouse his liking? Including Yi Ming, perhaps the hatred in his heart for Ye Zichen was excessive.

When Bai Lin saw this, she felt a twinge of pain in her heart. When did the two of them become so distant and unfamiliar? She almost blurted out, "Xue'er, how have you been recently?"

"Eh, it's nothing." Upon hearing Bai Lin's question, Xia Xue subconsciously replied with a fake smile. This was the first step of Xia Xue's revenge. From her point of view, someone as friendly as Bai Lin would not be able to adapt to the current situation. [What is friendship? Isn't it just a lie? Isn't it the same as robbing my most beloved man?]

"Is it really okay? I always thought you were weird lately. Is there something you have to say? Are we not friends? " Bai Lin felt that the knot in her heart had yet to be resolved. She felt that Xia Xue's answer just now was a perfunctory reply. Xia Xue must have been hiding something in her heart, but since Xia Xue had already said so, she didn't know how to conduct this conversation.

Friend?! Hmph, what friend? If you're a friend, you can just lie to me, and say that I have no relationship with Yi Ming, and have no relationship with him?! [You can steal my favorite people just because you're a friend?!] As his friend, he knew that the person he loved the most was Yi Ming. He was still feigning a smile, pretending to care about himself. How unlucky. That was what Xia Xue had in mind at the time. However, she didn't say anything at that time and still wore her fake smile on her face.

Bai Lin looked at her expression and didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and continued to silently stir the foam with her spoon, round and round, clockwise and counterclockwise. Actually, when friends sat down to communicate, they were most afraid of eerie silence, especially when faced with someone as friendly as Bai Lin.

Just as Bai Lin was deep in her thoughts, Xia Xue quietly said, "Bai Lin, look at you, you're pretty busy. I'll let others take over the job that was originally yours. After talking to the boss for a bit, the boss has also agreed to it. After Shelly had explained the situation to Bai Lin, she took the spoon in her hand and took a big gulp of cappuccino.

When Bai Lin heard what Xia Xue had told her, she immediately raised her head and looked at Xia Xue in surprise, hoping that she would give her a reasonable explanation. However, he saw that Xia Xue didn't even look at him as she continued to drink her coffee. At that time, she asked Xia Xue in a hurt tone: "Why, give me a reason. I don't know why we suddenly became like this. What is it? Don't play this tune, it's terrible. "

Xia Xue slowly placed the coffee on the table, lowered her head and continued stirring the remaining foam in the cup, then coldly said: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I've been too busy recently and felt that you're too tired, so I found someone to help you share the burden." Xia Xue's heart was happy, she had achieved her goal, wasn't she? He wanted Bai Lin to be injured like this, to let her have a taste of what he was feeling at the time. Of course, this was not enough. It was far from enough.

"I'm busy, how could you think that I'm busy? After knowing me for so long, don't you know anything about me? " Bai Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing Xia Xue's reply. It was obviously a perfunctory act. What had caused her to do this to him?

"Aren't you busy with appointments? "That friend called Yi Ming, I can see that you guys are tired of hanging out together every day, so you definitely don't have time for a part-time job. You know that job also requires hard work and hard work, but seeing your current situation, forget it." Xia Xue purposely ridiculed Bai Lin. This is still nothing, the harm you've done me is far less than what you've brought me.

"Xue'er, don't be like this. I've told you many times, Yi Ming and I are only friends, at most we share similar interests. It's not like you don't know what I'm thinking," said Bai Lin. She had had enough of Xia Xue. However, Bai Lin really did not understand Xia Xue's thoughts.

After hearing Bai Lin's reply, Xia Xue felt even more strongly that Bai Lin was a hypocrite. She deeply condemned herself in her heart. Why did she have to make such a pretentious friend to treat her so well? Xia Xue didn't want to stay here for even a moment, every breath of air made her nauseous. Thus, he grabbed the bag in his hand and walked out without even saying goodbye.

Bai Lin sat there alone. He felt extremely uncomfortable. From beginning to end, she had never known why the man between her and Xia Xue would become so weak. Was friendship so cheap? However, in Bai Lin's heart, she didn't want to lose this friendship. Hence, Bai Lin immediately took out her phone and typed a short message:

Xue'er, I really don't know why we became like this. If you do something wrong, I apologize. I, Bai Lin, will speak the truth and value your friend. You know, I don't talk very well sometimes, so let's just let it go. Let's make up.

Xia Xue saw this message and only replied with one sentence: "What is your relationship with Yi Ming?"

Bai Lin didn't understand why Xia Xue was so conflicted about this question. Was it very important in this friendship? We're just talking about the two of us, why would we involve Yi Ming in this? But, to think of it, she still said: I'm just friends with him, that's all. Don't let this affect our friendship. It's not worth it.

When Xia Xue saw these words, she walked on the street while laughing. She had already asked her so straightforwardly, yet she was still lying to me. Making friends was a failure. Xia Xue decided to cut the mess quickly and only replied with a painful sentence: "We can't go back to the past. Let's do it this way." Don't talk to me anymore, or it will only make me hate you even more. After editing this paragraph, he deleted everything about Bai Lin and wandered around the streets in a daze.

When Bai Lin, who was in the teahouse, saw these words, she threw herself on the table and sobbed softly. This friendship had actually ended in such a baffling manner. It had to be a joke and a tragedy.

When the friendship between the two became so indestructible, when it became so fragile, when the intimacy between the two became so foreign, when we no longer had any friendship, no longer any laughter. As for Bai Lin and Xia Xue, there was no longer any friendship between them. That friendship had already broken, and would never be mended again …
