Chapter 18: You Two Were So Good in Those Years_1

Upon hearing that name, Bai Xiaoxiao seemed to be taken aback for a moment, her voice filled with surprise: "He’s back??"

"Yeah," Eleven shrugged, "He’s back. I saw him. He’s getting married to Yao Ruoshui."

She wanted to share this with Bai Xiaoxiao because she had witnessed her relationship with Jin Xiangbei and seen the journey they had been on. There were some details that Ye Wanjun couldn’t understand, so she could only confide in Bai Xiaoxiao. She would understand her feelings.

"Eleven... are you okay?"

"Am I okay? Do I look like I’m not?"

"You do..." Bai Xiaoxiao seemed a bit worried. She was more than familiar with their relationship.

Jin Xiangbei was back?

After he went to the United States, she couldn’t reach him. Only Yao Ruoshui knew where he was and would often boast about flying to the United States to see him.

So... after that time, had he been with Yao Ruoshui all along?

Not just Eleven, for a moment, she was also a bit dazed.

Jin Xiangbei was back, which meant... he would come to see Eleven as well? Maybe, despite all these years, he couldn’t let go of his feelings for Eleven.

Bai Xiaoxiao hadn’t seen Jin Xiangbei for many years, but she believed this to be true.

"Eleven, what are you going to do?"

"What to do?" Eleven laughed, "What can I do? He’s going to marry Yao Ruoshui. Am I supposed to sabotage it? I stopped forgiving him the moment he betrayed me years ago."

Eleven was just that stubborn.

Not everyone who makes a mistake will be forgiven. In her view, betrayal is betrayal, there would be no going back. Even if her heart ached and she missed him, she wouldn’t hold on.

Bai Xiaoxiao seemed a bit restless, her expression somewhat abnormal.

When Eleven looked back over to her, she saw the concern on her face and asked worriedly: "Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong? You’re looking pale. Are you worried about the audition?"

She nodded, her smile a bit forced: "Yes... I’m a little worried, since I’m just a newcomer. I’m alright... Eleven, have you let go of your past feelings for him?"

Over the years, Eleven hadn’t mentioned that man. Yet Bai Xiaoxiao could vaguely sense that, deep down... she still had feelings for Jin Xiangbei.

"What does it matter, whether I’ve let go or not? Isn’t he getting married to Yao Ruoshui?" Eleven neither confirmed nor denied, only placed a hand over her heart, feeling its beat.

Undeniably, when she heard his name, her heart still skipped a beat.

How could she so easily forget a man for whom she had poured all her energy into loving, a man she had sincerely loved for many years?

"I really didn’t expect it... you two were so close back then..."

"Back then..." Bai Xiaoxiao began to recount the past, the two words eliciting memories in Eleven as well.

"Ah, those days, it was really frustrating for the girls at West Middle. All I used to hear was how they didn’t know what to do, because no matter how long they waited, you two wouldn’t break up. Some gave up, thinking your relationship was too good, that nothing could come between you. Who would have expected such a thing to happen later..."

As Bai Xiaoxiao was talking, she glanced over at Eleven, "I’m sorry, Eleven... If I hadn’t left first... you wouldn’t have gone through that... it’s all my fault."

"It’s okay, even though I can’t remember clearly, I vaguely recall making you leave. I made my own bed."

Bai Xiaoxiao snapped back from her thoughts and smiled, "It’s good that you met Gu Liancheng, at least he’s taking responsibility for you."
