Chapter 676

After listening patiently, Mai Sui raised a doubt: "You say Song Yu and Yu Laoshi are teaming up to deal with you, but that is merely your guess."

Zhou Shihe took the full glass of beer from the coffee table and took a slow sip, saying, "Song Yu and Yu Laoshi have met, and they chatted very happily."

After saying this, she asked back with gentle grace: "Sui Sui, two incompatible rivals in love meet for the first time, yet they are laughing and talking—do you think that's normal?"

Mai Sui was stunned, "You saw it with your own eyes?"

Zhou Shihe remained quiet.

Filtering through her friends, Mai Sui realized: "Manning and Song Yu are also very close best friends; she must be neutral between you two. It was Ningning who told you afterward, right?"

Zhou Shihe did not deny it.

Mai Sui still couldn't quite believe it: "Would Song Yu really team up with Yu Laoshi? They are both such proud and arrogant people."

Zhou Shihe smiled lightly: "Before you fell in love with Li Heng, weren't you also a proud and arrogant person? Among the confidantes by his side, who isn't proud and arrogant?

If you could temporarily set aside your pride and potentially gain a lifetime of happiness, would you refuse?"

Mai Sui said gloomily, "I never thought about competing."

Zhou Shihe didn't refute her, nor did she twist the knife in the wound, but it was clear that her best friend accepted her analysis.

The reason she didn't twist the knife was that Sui Sui's premise of not competing was because Song Yu was blocking the path; if not for that, perhaps she wouldn't have been willing to be the 'little one' from the start.

This is human nature, not about belittling or praising.

After all, Sui Sui's excellent conditions are right there; it's just that she can't stand out alone by Li Heng's side. If she were outside, she would be one in ten thousand, a goddess that many men could never look up to in their lifetime.

Lingering between the two lots for a while, Mai Sui asked: "If I drew 'leave forever,' how would you cut off his pursuit?"

Zhou Shihe looked down at the wine in her glass: "I have my own methods."

Mai Sui stared at her, "I want to hear the truth."

Zhou Shihe hesitated for a moment and said: "I would never marry in my life."

Hearing this, Mai Sui suddenly felt a pang of heartache, and pain, murmuring to herself: "Sigh, when you said 'how romantic it is to fall in love at first sight, with the beauty in one's heart never fading,' I knew you would take this path.

Actually, Li Heng's personality seems relatively tolerant toward us, appearing very accommodating, but he is extremely stubborn.

I have a premonition that if you choose to leave him, he will obsess over you for a lifetime."

Zhou Shihe silently accepted her best friend's words; it was precisely because she had considered this point in advance that she had Sui Sui draw the lots.

After waiting a while without receiving any reply from her best friend, Mai Sui asked a question that pierced the soul: "Is doing this worth it?"

Zhou Shihe was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not; a piece of *Kiss the Rain* is the best gift he has given me in this life."

Mai Sui sighed: "I'm not good at music and can't truly understand the key between you two, but every time I watched you perform together on stage in the past, I vaguely felt that you and he had an indescribable fate."

Mai Sui hadn't expected Shihe to have such deep feelings for Li Heng.

But she understood it especially well afterward; Shihe lacked nothing from the moment she was born, and her family had prepared everything for her, except for love. On the long road of life ahead, love was the only thing Shihe had to pursue.

Moreover, a talented woman with such explosive conditions as Shihe rarely gets emotional, but once she gives her heart, she will carve this love into her soul, and it will be very extreme.

Then, Mai Sui thought of herself: would she leave Li Heng?

The answer was a denial.

She had already pledged her life to Li Heng and would follow him forever without leaving.

At this thought, Mai Sui instantly felt a spiritual resonance with Shihe.

Mai Sui said softly: "I haven't drawn my lot yet. Do you want to change the method?"

Zhou Shihe shook her head gently: "Don't drag out the problem between you and me. Let's solve it today. Success or failure? It depends on fate."

The two women looked at each other for a while, and Mai Sui finally said okay, then closed her eyes, reached out her right hand, and grabbed a paper ball at random.

After grabbing it, Mai Sui said: "Okay."

Zhou Shihe's gaze fell on her palm, and she didn't say a word.

Mai Sui asked: "You open it? Or should I?"

Zhou Shihe said: "You drew the lot, so naturally you should open it."

Hearing this, Mai Sui didn't ask any more questions. After taking a deep breath, she nervously began to fiddle with the paper ball, unfolding it bit by bit.

At this very moment, the living room fell into an eerie silence.

Both women held their breath.

The difference was that at the very moment the paper ball was about to be opened, Zhou Shihe closed her eyes and sat stiffly on the sofa like a stone Buddha statue.

Mai Sui glanced at her best friend and then continued.

3!

2!

1!

When she counted to 1, Mai Sui used a thunderous method and decisively unfolded the paper completely.

Then she froze.

Then, she raised the paper again and said to Shihe: "Okay, you can look now."

Hearing this, Zhou Shihe opened her eyes and took the note.

She saw four pen-written characters clearly on the note: Sisters for a lifetime.

Seeing her best friend staring at the note in a daze for a full minute without a word, Mai Sui asked softly: "Breaking your bottom line for me, breaking the rules for me—do you regret it?" ===== CHAPTER 677 =====
