Chapter 1996: A Love Letter
However, Lian Bingmeng always said that Yue Shuangshuang was her friend.
Whenever Yue Shuangshuang heard that she didn’t feel touched. On the contrary, she felt awkward and slightly embarrassed, as if she was a charity case.
Yue Shuangshuang liked a boy from the Elite Summoning Class. This boy was well-known in the summoning school. He was talented, had a good family background, and was also very handsome.
When Lian Bingmeng found out about this, she told Yue Shuangshuang to go confess. However, from the start, Yue Shuangshuang was someone who had a slight inferiority complex. How could she possibly confess in public?
Furthermore, Yue Shuangshuang knew that he definitely would not like her.
Hence, Lian Bingmeng came up with the idea for Yue Shuangshuang to write a love letter, which she would then help deliver.
Meanwhile, the boy Yue Shuangshuang had a crush on thought that Lian Bingmeng was the one who wrote the love letter, so he agreed to it without even looking at the letter.
Lian Bingmeng had outstanding talent and was also beautiful in a cold and dignified way. A lot of the boys on this campus liked her.
As Yue Shuangshuang was anxiously waiting for the result, that boy actually went up to her and said that the person he liked was Lian Bingmeng, not her.
Yue Shuangshuang felt like she had been struck by lightning. Lian Bingmeng, for the sake of proving that she cared about her friend, rejected that boy.
At the same time, under the influence of that mysterious pearl, Lian Bingmeng’s talent continuously improved.
Lian Bingmeng still treated Yue Shuangshuang as her friend, but Yue Shuangshuang felt like more and more pressure was being placed on her. Since Lian Bingmeng attracted so much attention, she was also under public scrutiny.
More and more people showed disdain for her lack of talent and everyone had looks of disapproval whenever she was brought up in a conversation. Oh, her? Who knows how she managed to get in Lian Bingmeng’s good graces.
More and more men gathered around Lian Bingmeng. There were princes and also high-born nobles. In any case, all of them had overflowing talents.
It was very difficult for Yue Shuangshuang to fit in, but Lian Bingmeng insisted on bringing Yue Shuangshuang to every party.
Sometimes, when Yue Shuangshuang would complain to Lian Bingmeng, Lian Bingmeng would immediately apologize. And then everyone else would start berating Yue Shuangshuang, saying that she was so petty. Lian Bingmeng had already apologized, what else did she want…
In any case, they made the fact that Lian Bingmeng had apologized out to be some amazing concession, causing Yue Shuangshuang to feel extremely awkward.
On top of that, Lian Bingmeng insisted on emphasizing that she thought of Yue Shuangshuang as a friend. And so, other people would start saying, Lian Bingmeng thinks of you as a good friend, what else do you want…
Yue Shuangshuang really couldn’t bear it anymore, so one time when they were out on a training excursion, Yue Shuangshuang lifted her weapon and actually stabbed towards Lian Bingmeng’s back.
Lian Bingmeng had so many summoned beasts, how could she possibly get injured by Yue Shuangshuang’s weak attack?
Yue Shuangshuang was instantly sent flying by one of Lian Bingmeng’s summoned beasts. She slammed into a tree trunk, then collapsed to the floor, vomiting blood and barely breathing.
Meanwhile, Lian Bingmeng was heartbroken at having been betrayed. She never imagined that this friend of hers who she had cared so much about would actually try to stab her in the back.
All of Lian Bingmeng’s male friends comforted her, saying that some people simply had black hearts. They envied her, which was why they would try to hurt her.
It was better not to be friends with this type of person.
Yue Shuangshuang’s line of sight was blurry as she looked towards Lian Bingmeng who was surrounded by a group of men that included the man she had a crush on. Soon, she had breathed her last.
After Ning Shu finished receiving the storyline, she sighed.
This was the story of a weak boat of friendship.
Was Lian Bingmeng in the wrong? No, she felt that she had already been sincere enough towards her friend, but her friend actually tried to kill her over a man.
Was Yue Shuangshuang in the wrong? No, it was just that the psychological pressure of being friends with someone of a different social status was too great. If Lian Bingmeng had kept her distance from Yue Shuangshuang, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.
Why had she insisted for Yue Shuangshuang to be her friend? Was it really just because Yue Shuangshuang had been a bit nice to her before?
