The lively room suddenly turned cold and quiet, leaving a sense of unease in her heart. The sight of the mess left behind, with her food taken by others, made her reflect on her earlier decision. She couldn't help but think that if she hadn't allowed the event to proceed, perhaps none of this would have happened. If only she had known, she might have acted differently.
At that moment, Li Yingxue had returned home. The earlier events still lingered in her mind, and she felt as if she hadn't performed well. However, since she had already chosen to leave that room, there was nothing more to say. If they were to meet again, she promised herself she would do better.
As Liu Xiyue contemplated these thoughts, she began to plan what to say during their next encounter—how to phrase her words, the tone to use, and so on. Yet the first thing on her mind upon returning home was to inform her friend about what had transpired that day.
Just as Li Yingxue picked up her phone, a thought struck her: her friend was likely busy at this hour. If she interrupted him, it would seem rude and could even lead to him facing criticism from others. So she decided to wait a while before reaching out again; after all, there were other matters to attend to at home. With that in mind, she placed her phone back on the table.
However, having grown up together, they shared a certain unspoken connection. Just as Li Yingxue set her phone down, the screen lit up with a notification from her friend. In her contacts, she had given him an affectionate nickname.
Seeing that name instantly brightened her mood and brought a smile to her face. There was indeed a bond between them; even without direct communication, he had reached out to her first. Rather than hesitate, she decided to answer the call immediately. Since he had taken the initiative to contact her, it meant he was likely free at that moment.
Li Yingxue moved to a comfortable spot in her home, ready to chat with her friend about the day's events. After everything that had happened, they needed to talk.
On the other end of the line, her friend spoke in a relaxed tone. "Honestly, I really didn't want to participate in something like today’s event. But since I agreed to it, I felt obligated to show up. It could be beneficial for me in some ways. What frustrates me is how many people treat such events with disdain while I have to consider their opinions when I'm involved."
Li Yingxue was already accustomed to such scenarios; after years in this industry, she understood how things worked and the dynamics at play.
