When Shu Pan received the call from Xiaomeng, she had just finished vomiting, rinsed her mouth, and saw that the caller ID displayed Ye Xiaomeng’s name. Without hesitation, she answered.

“Xiaomeng, what’s wrong?” Shu Pan asked uncertainly.

“Mmm.” On the other end, Ye Xiaomeng replied, her voice sounding faint and devoid of vitality.

“Hey, I’m getting married next Monday. Will you come to the wedding?” Although she was talking about her wedding, Shu Pan couldn’t sense any joy in her tone.

“Xiaomeng, do you know about Cheng Yang and his childhood friend?” Shu Pan felt that there was no need to conceal it anymore.

Ye Xiaomeng’s complexion changed on the other side of the phone. “Girl, how do you know?”

“Last time, when we went to the mall for noodles, I ran into them. But Cheng Yang only introduced her as a sister. However, their interactions seemed quite intimate. So, I warned Cheng Yang. I didn’t expect him to escalate things further. Judging from your reaction now, I assume you already know,” Shu Pan said, feeling that she wasn’t good at comforting others, but now that Xiaomeng knew, would she still hurriedly decide to get married? Was that the right choice?

“He told me she’s his sister, a friend. Because she doesn’t have any other family in Bin City, he’s taking care of her. Girl, you don’t understand. We’ve been together for ten years…” Xiaomeng’s voice choked up, making it difficult for her to continue.

“Xiaomeng, I understand. There aren’t many decades in a person’s life, but

Cheng Yang has made his stance clear. Does he really just see her as a sister? Aren’t they still connected by their childhood memories?” Shu Pan was worried that Xiaomeng might suffer even more in the future.

“Girl, I can’t worry about that anymore. Besides, we have a child now. No matter what, I have to give us a chance.” Xiaomeng’s voice sounded somewhat ethereal, as if she were talking to herself.

“Xiaomeng, you’re really a fool. But promise me, don’t sacrifice yourself.” Shu Pan suddenly felt a surge of compassion for Xiaomeng. Reality was indeed cruel.

In fairy tales, the prince and Cinderella overcame numerous obstacles to be together and live happily ever after. But Xiaomeng and Cheng Yang had been together for ten years. How many people had envied and admired them during those ten years? Yet in the end, there was no fairy tale ending.

“Stop talking about me. Girl, how are you?” Xiaomeng suddenly changed the topic.

“Well… Xiaomeng, actually, I got a divorce, and I’m pregnant.” Shu Pan said in a hushed tone.

“What? When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me? Is the child Gu Shaoting’s?” Ye Xiaomeng exclaimed, feeling a bit overwhelmed by Shu Pan’s words.

“Don’t get excited, be careful of the child. Yes, the child is Gu Shaoting’s, but I don’t intend to let him know. I will raise the child on my own.” Shu Pan’s tone was resolute.

“Girl, do you think you’re the Virgin Mary? Doing something so noble. Raising a child isn’t the same as raising a cat or a dog. Aren’t you adding unnecessary pressure to yourself?” Ye Xiaomeng’s tone was strikingly similar to Auntie Lu’s. “I’m very lonely. I want a child as a company. I don’t regret my choice.”

“Sigh, you’re even more foolish than me.” Xiaomeng knew that Shu Pan’s decision wouldn’t easily change.

“This year hasn’t been favorable for the two of us sisters.” Xiaomeng forced a smile, feeling like they were having a streak of bad luck.

“Xiaomeng, everything will get better. You have to stay strong. There’s no obstacle that can’t be overcome. Oh, by the way, I’m in Lotus Town now, my hometown. I’m no longer in Bin City. If you have some free time, come over and unwind. The air here is fresh, and the scenery is beautiful.” Shu Pan finally remembered to inform Ye Xiaomeng about this.

“What else are you keeping from me?” Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t help but roll her eyes, unable to contain her curiosity..
