Li Xue turned to look behind only to find Shen Bingling stepping out of the car. As usual, she was dressed in a very pretty, graceful dress.
Smiling at her, Li Xue tenderly nodded, "Mhm. I was asked to be here. So, yes, I am here." She said and all of sudden, the princess jumped to her side, hooking one of her arms with hers.
"Perfect! Now that you are here, I won't lack a friend by my side. Come on, let's go in together." Shen Bingling said as she pulled Li Xue with her.
For a moment, even Li Xue was taken aback. She never noticed when exactly did her friendship with Shen Bingling grow? Either she didn't remember it or maybe she didn't notice it.
"Princess Shen …" Li Xue was about to stop the princess when suddenly felt a strong hold on her arms that not just stopped their movement in the direction but also made the girl turn around to see the obstructor.
Shen Bingling's brows scrunched as turning to find Shin You Jun, she said, "Hey, You Jun, what are you doing? Why are you holding her so hard? It must be hurting her." In her tone, the annoyance was very clear.
But Shin You Jun being very much Shin You Jun didn't care to give a damn to her words. "Don't stress over my action. Instead, tell me what you are doing? Why are you pulling her away from me? Did you not feel she might not like it?" He said and, in his words, he sounded again like an adult brother who was ready to take care of his little sister.
Li Xue would have thought of a way to tease this little adult boy again, but she did agree with him for once. Getting all closed up with Shen Bingling like this – she was truly not liking it. Maybe because she never had been friends with someone this easily.
The moment Shin You Jun said that, Shen Bingling looked at Li Xue with a perplexed expression before letting go of her hold from her. "Why would she not like it? We are friends and I am just going in together with her. Li Xue, did you not like it?"
She asked, and hearing her, Li Xue for a moment understood what made her a sudden friend of the girl. Not the fact that she was an awesome friend, but because it was Shen Bingling who was lacking the trust and belief she once had in her friends. After getting stabbed by Li Na, the girl might be struggling to go back to the group, who once promised to be with their best thought with her.
Suddenly she felt pity for Shen Bingling, but she was also once burnt with a friendship. And one burnt matchstick could never help the other light up. So, even though Shen Bingling wanted to take support from her in her situation, she couldn't be sure if she could provide it to her.
Li Xue looked at her and then smiled. "Princess Shen, I know you might think of me as your friend but I can't feel the same way. At least not this fast. So, please I hope you would understand." She said, without twisting her words. She wanted to come as straight as possible so that there doesn't remain any false hopes in the girl's heart.
And it seemed like her directness in words served well, because the next moment, the expression on Shen Bingling's face changed. She stepped back as if she had enough and she would leave without any more embarrassment.
But all that was just Li Xue's delusion. She was still a stranger to a princess's nature of stubbornness.
Just when she thought that Shen Bingling would walk away from her, getting emotionally hurt, she instead walked back to get to her side, hooking her arms once again with her.
"Fine. If not this fast, we can take our friendship to be slow. With time I am sure, you would be able to feel the same as me." Shen Bingling said and Li Xue was all speechless.
While on the side, Shin You Jun was also dumbfounded. From what part of speech did the girl think that his elder sister was asking for time?
Furthermore, wait, who needs time to develop a friendship. It's not some love relationship that needs commitment. Either you are suitable to be a friend or you are not. And here, didn't his sister already make the unsuitability very clear.
Li Xue was ready to say something but right at that moment, another voice interrupted.
"Aiya … seems like the season of spring is making a bud of friendship bloom somewhere."
In that tone of voice, there was not just playfulness but also a tinge of mockery that didn't go missed by Li Xue. She tilted her head to look behind Shen Bingling, only to see Su Ce taking a stroll towards them.
"Good morning, Princess." Su Ce greeted as he walked closer to the trio.
Shen Bingling turned around and blushed. "Same to you, Prince Su. You are looking handsome as always." She said and at her sweet words like that Shin You Jun almost felt like vomiting.
Was this girl serious? How could she even think of this jerk so sweetly? Did she really think that she would be able to get him just like that?
Su Ce didn't reply to Shen Bingling, instead, his eyes kept staring into Li Xue's flaring amber ones. From his gaze and playful smile on his lips, it was clear enough that the previous greeting wasn't meant for Shen Bingling but for Li Xue, who didn't even bother to revert it back.
Although Shen Bingling might not have noticed it before, soon she did. And when she realized it, she felt heartache. She turned back to look at Li Xue and said, "Li Xue, I think it's getting late. We should move in first." She said but Li Xue shook her head.
Her gaze kept itself fixed at Su Ce as she said, "Princess Shen, you proceed with You Jun first. I will come after having a small chat with Prince Su."
"A small chat with Prince Su. If it's small, I can wait for you to finish. Do it and then we will go in together. But I am not going to leave you here alone." Shen Bingling said. Her voice sounded a bit panicked. And the reason behind her panic did not need to be said again, as it was already well known.
Li Xue didn't bother with her craze for Prince of East City at the moment. Instead, she demanded with a firm tone, "You must go in first with You Jun. I said I will come after." She said and her forced voice like that silenced Shen Bingling's heart for a moment.
But Li Xue didn't care to notice, instead, she turned to look at Shin You Jun with an order. She had to make something clear to Su Ce before the grand meet gets started. This was a better time and she couldn't miss it.
"Are you sure?" Shin You Jun asked with a frown but when he saw his sister nodding, he agreed before walking away with Shen Bingling.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
