Love So Sweet

167 What about Mu Zhen Yu?

On the next day, Zhang Li Xue picked up Fang Su Jin at her house and drove her over to the art gallery that her friend wanted to visit.

The two friends were walking around the place in silence.

Fang Su Jin was obviously admiring the painting and art pieces, while Zhang Li Xue had her mind somewhere else.

Fang Su Jin was looking at one of the paintings and turned around, wanting to discuss the art with her friends. Her movement halted the moment she saw that Zhang Li Xue was acting strangely.

Zhang Li Xue who did not understand much about art was standing in front of a painting with a strange dazed on her face.

After watching her friend for a while, Fang Su Jin decided to walk over to her friend and peeked at the painting.

“What do you think about this painting?”



Best

The voice snapped Zhang Li Xue out of her trance.

She turned around and saw that Fang Su Jin was standing beside her while looking at the painting in front of them.

.....

“Li Xue, the artist said that she was painting this piece after getting a divorce.” Fang Su Jin paused to look at her friend again. “You have been staring at this painting for a while. Do you like it?”

Zhang Li Xue stared at the dark painting in front of her and frowned. No matter how long she look at the painting, Zhang Li Xue could not understand what the artist was trying to convey.

“I guess, it’s beautiful.”

The corner of her lips started to twitch.

Fang Su Jin knew that she should not trust that Zhang Li Xue would understand anything about painting. In Zhang Li Xue’s view, there are only beautiful paintings and not-so-beautiful paintings.

Other than that, this friend did not understand anything else.

Fang Su Jin knew that she should not take Zhang Li Xue to this art gallery. However, no one else was willing to accompany her to look at paintings.
Zhang Li Xue was her only victim.

Heaving a sigh, Fang Su Jin patted her friend on the shoulder. “You have been staring into space for a while. What is in your mind?”

Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips. She weigh her options and finally decided that she could not think straight if she did not talk about this matter to someone else.

“Su Jin, I feel a little strange,” Zhang Li Xue said.

“What is it? Are you feeling unwell?” Fang Su Jin started to worry.

“That’s not it.” Zhang Li Xue scanned their surroundings before leaning over and whispered, “Let’s not talk about it here. If we make any noise, people would definitely be unhappy.”

Fortunately, Fang Su Jin was almost done with viewing the paintings.

The two of them walked out of the art gallery before heading to the nearest cafe to talk.

“Alright, you better tell me what is going on.” Fang Su Jin took a sip from her drink and narrowed her eyes at her friend. “Wait. Li Xue, this could not be your idea to escape from accompanying me to look at the paintings right?”

Zhang Li Xue heaved helplessly. “Do I look like such a person?”

She was someone who would always support Fang Su Jin in everything. Although she did not understand art very well, she would still come to Fang Su Jin’s exhibition to support her.

Zhang Li Xue took a deep breath and spoke, “You know that I went out with Bai Qi yesterday, right?”

“Uh-huh.” Fang Su Jin nodded. “I saw you posted some pictures of the dishes on your social media. They looked quite delicious.

“Well,” Zhang Li Xue hesitated. Then, she began to tell Fang Su Jin everything. From the meal she shared with Bai Qi, to their short trip to that event at the park.

In the end, she told her friend about the change she began to feel when she was around Bai Qi.

When she finished, Zhang Li Xue noticed the way Fang Su Jin was looking at her. However, she decided to ignore that look.

“Su Jin, do you think I have gone crazy?”

Fang Su Jin sighed. “Of course, not. After listening to your story, the only logical explanation that I can come up with is that... Zhang Li Xue, you like Doctor Bai.”

Zhang Li Xue did not have much reaction on her face. However, no one knew how her heartbeat escalated when she heard Fang Su Jin’s words. She almost wanted to argue with Fang Su Jin, but Zhang Li Xue decided not to.

She had a feeling that she was going to lose in that argument anyway.

Fang Su Jin’s words continued to echo in her mind.

Does she like Bai Qi?

“That heart-pounding moment when you are close to him could only be because of this reason,” Fang Su Jin said. She leaned forward and smiled. Seeing the clueless look on her friend’s face made her want to laugh.

Zhang Li Xue was surprisingly this cute.

It seemed like Bai Qi will have to work very hard to win this girl’s heart.

“However, how far you liked Doctor Bai is not something that I know,” Fang Su Jin said.

Her friend continued to speak a few more words. However, Zhang Li Xue’s mind was already somewhere else.

It was not the first time that she had liked someone. So, she should be very familiar with this feeling.

But... liking Bai Qi and Mu Zhen Yu felt very different.

In the past, when she realized that she had feelings for Mu Zhen Yu, her heart would also pound hard. Her face would grow hot whenever she saw him.

However, when she was with Bai Qi, there was this indescribable sense of happiness when she look at him. She found that she would always look forward to meeting with Bai Qi.

She liked Bai Qi.

This realization surprised her.

“Li Xue...”

Fang Su Jin’s voice snapped her out of her trance. She looked at her friend with an inquiring gaze.

“What about Mu Zhen Yu?”

Zhang Li Xue went blank for a few seconds. “What about him?”

“You didn’t like him?” Fang Su Jin asked. “The two of you have been close from a young age. In the past, everyone had thought that the two of you were childhood sweethearts.”

Zhang Li Xue pursed her lips.

In the past, she liked Mu Zhen Yu. However, that feeling changed when he chose to move to G Country, and the two of them stopped contacting each other.
