Chapter 81 Best Friends United
Qiao Xinran was awakened by a strange noise.
She hadn't slept well to begin with, and in her drowsy state, she heard muffled sounds coming from the next room.
Qiao Xinran frowned, thinking that Xu Yuan was watching some unhealthy movie, and turned over to continue sleeping.
But the sound continued and became clearer and clearer.
Qiao Xin suddenly opened her eyes again, sat up and listened carefully.
That's right, it came from Xu Yuan's room.
Qiao Xinran got out of bed barefoot, walked quietly to the door, and pressed her ear against it.
"Gently—"
It was Xu Yuan's voice, still trembling with sobs, yet seemingly enjoying it, mixed with a man's heavy breathing.
Qiao Xinran clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms.
She knew without even thinking who that man was.
Xu Yuan actually brought Huang Tian home!
They clearly agreed when they moved in together that no men could be brought home, especially overnight.
But now Xu Yuan has not only brought the man back, but is also openly playing live sex shows for her!
Qiao Xinran was both ashamed and angry, and a nameless fire rushed to her head.
She flung open the door, rushed to Xu Yuan's room, and raised her foot to kick it open.
But he stopped halfway up his foot, and the sound coming from inside became clearer.
"Brother Tian—I like you so much—"
"Um--"
"From now on—from now on I'll listen to whatever you say—"
Qiao Xinran's eyes instantly reddened as she listened.
She bit her lip, but ultimately didn't kick him.
She glared at the door fiercely, then turned and rushed back to her room, slamming the door shut.
"shameless!"
Qiao Xin threw herself onto the bed again, covered her head with a pillow, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
How could Xu Yuan do this?
He knew perfectly well that she also liked Huang Tian, and he knew perfectly well that she had deliberately gotten Huang Tian drunk that night—
Now look what happened, Xu Yuan got her way.
I received 50 yuan to buy a car, and 10 yuan in pocket money every month.
And what about yourself?
There was nothing there.
Qiao Xinran felt increasingly wronged as she thought about it, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
The sounds from the next room could still be heard intermittently.
Although it was lowered, it was still clear in the quiet night.
As Qiao Xinran listened, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
She took out her phone, opened WeChat, and looked at the pinned chat window.
The last message she sent was: "Brother Tian, I'm sorry about what happened today. I really didn't mean to get angry at you. It's just that Xu Yuan went too far."
But Huang Tian didn't reply, as if he hadn't seen it.
When Qiao Xin looked at the message again, her tears fell even harder.
She edited and revised, typing a long message, wanting to question Huang Tian, to scold Xu Yuan, and to express her grievances—
But in the end, she deleted it word by word.
What right does she have to question this?
She's not Huang Tian's girlfriend.
Qiao Xin tossed her phone aside, curled up on the bed, and stared at the ceiling with her eyes open.
That night, she tossed and turned, barely closing her eyes.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Qiao Xinran got up.
Looking at myself in the mirror, with red, swollen eyes and heavy dark circles, I couldn't help but give a wry smile.
After a quick wash, Qiao Xinran opened the door and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw that Xu Yuan's bedroom door had opened.
Huang Tian came out from inside, already dressed, and looked refreshed.
Upon seeing Qiao Xinran, Huang Tian paused for a moment, then smiled.
Good morning, Xinran.
Qiao Xinran stood there, holding a water glass in her hand, her gaze towards Huang Tian extremely complex.
There was resentment, grudges, jealousy, and a hint of inexplicable expectation.
Qiao Xin opened her mouth again as if to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head and whispered something.
"morning."
Then he quickly went into the kitchen and closed the door.
Huang Tian watched Qiao Xinran's retreating figure and touched his nose.
This is indeed a bit awkward.
But he didn't think much of it.
For adults, it's a matter of mutual consent.
Huang Tian walked to the entrance, changed his shoes, and left.
In the kitchen, Qiao Xinran leaned against the door, listening to the sound of the door closing outside, and tears fell again.
Xu Yuan's door opened again, and she came out in her pajamas.
Seeing that the kitchen door was closed, he raised an eyebrow.
Then, humming a song, she walked into the restroom.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Xu Yuan stood under the showerhead, the warm water washing over her body and also washing away the lingering guilt in her heart.
The foam slid down her delicate skin, forming small swirls on the tiled floor.
Xu Yuan had her eyes closed, but her mind was perfectly clear.
After Huang Tian left that morning, Qiao Xinran's resentful and hurt gaze kept lingering in her mind's eye.
Seven years of best friend relationship.
From high school to work, from ignorance to maturity.
They skipped classes together, watched TV series together, complained about difficult patients and lewd doctors together, and also dreamed about a better future together.
It would be a lie to say I feel no guilt.
But this sense of guilt seems insignificant compared to everything she has gained now.
Xu Yuan turned off the tap and grabbed a bath towel to dry her body.
The mirror was covered with a layer of white mist from the water vapor, and Xu Yuan reached out and wiped away some of the mist.
Looking at the woman in the mirror, with her curvaceous figure and delicate features.
This is her capital, and her only capital.
Xu Yuan wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked out of the bathroom.
The living room was quiet, and Qiao Xinran's bedroom door was still closed.
Xu Yuan glanced at the open kitchen door; Qiao Xinran had obviously already returned to her room.
Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment in front of Qiao Xinran's door before gently knocking.
no respond.
Xu Yuan knocked again: "Ranran? It's me."
There was a rustling sound coming from inside, and then the door opened.
Qiao Xinran stood behind the door, wearing pajamas, her hair messy, her eyes swollen and red, with heavy dark circles.
Qiao Xinran stared coldly at Xu Yuan without saying a word.
"Ranran, can we talk?"
Xu Yuan sighed and softened her voice.
Qiao Xinran didn't say anything, turned around and walked back to her room, but the door wasn't closed.
Xu Yuan followed them inside, finding the room's layout both familiar and unfamiliar.
The room was slightly smaller than hers, but it was decorated very warmly.
There were a few dolls lying on the bed, and a group photo of them from their university days was pasted on the wall.
They used to lie in bed together watching TV series and gossiping.
Ever since Qiao Xin caught her with Huang Tian, she hasn't come in again.
Qiao Xinran sat on the bed, hugging her knees and remaining silent.
"Ranran, I'm sorry."
Xu Yuan sat down next to her and remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.
Qiao Xinran stiffened slightly, but remained silent.
"I know it's shameless of me to do this."
Xu Yuan smiled bitterly, "After all, I stole the man my best friend liked."
Qiao Xinran finally reacted, turning her head to look at Xu Yuan, her eyes involuntarily reddening.
"If you knew that, why did you still do it?"
"Because I had no other choice."
Xu Yuan's voice was soft, but firm.
"Ranran, we've known each other for seven years. You know my family situation. My parents run a small shop, and I have a younger brother who needs to go to school. I have to send money back home every month."
"Being a nurse is a stable job, but have you thought about how many years it would take me to buy a house and settle down in Guangzhou?"
"Ten years? Twenty years? Or thirty years?"
Qiao Xin opened her mouth again as if to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"I might only meet a man like Huang Tian once in my life."
Xu Yuan looked at Qiao Xinran and said frankly, "He's young, rich, good-looking, and generous to women. I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I miss out on him."
"So, you stole the man I liked?"
Qiao Xinran's voice was filled with grievance and resentment.
"It's not about stealing, Ranran, don't you understand? A man like Huang Tian can't possibly have only one woman by his side."
Xu Yuan paused, then continued, "Do you think he would give up me and other women for you?"
Qiao Xin remained silent, knowing full well that this was impossible.
"If that's the case, what's the point of us sisters fighting and being jealous of each other?"
Xu Yuan held Qiao Xin's hand, her eyes filled with expectation.
"We've known each other for seven years, we know each other inside and out, which is much better than those women whose backgrounds we don't know. If we join forces, our position by his side will definitely be more secure."
Qiao Xinran suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with shock as she stared at Xu Yuan.
She couldn't believe those words came from Xu Yuan's mouth.
join forces?
Sharing a man?
"Ranran, we're all adults, let's be realistic."
Xu Yuan's voice was frighteningly calm.
"Men are all fickle. I may be beautiful and have a great figure now, but he'll eventually get tired of me."
"If he doesn't have anyone new in his life, he'll probably continue to spoil me."
"But what if there's a younger, prettier newcomer? What about me? And what about you?"
Qiao Xinran stared blankly at Xu Yuan, as if she were meeting her best friend with whom she spent every day for the first time.
"We sisters are of one mind and take care of each other, so that we can stay by his side longer and receive more love."
After Xu Yuan finished speaking, she looked at Qiao Xinran and asked, "What do you think?"
The room remained quiet for a long time, and Qiao Xinran's mind was in turmoil.
Does she hate Xu Yuan?
hatred.
But what's the use of hatred?
Xu Yuan is right.
A man like Huang Tian could never have only one woman by his side.
What makes Qiao Xin think she can monopolize everything?
Moreover, she doesn't even qualify to board the ship now.
Without Xu Yuan's help, she could only watch helplessly from outside the wall as the people inside devoured meat. Qiao Xinran took a deep breath and looked at Xu Yuan: "You really will help me?"
Of course.
Xu Yuan nodded without hesitation.
"We've been best friends for seven years, and this friendship is genuine. I just wanted a better life, but I never thought about losing you as a friend."
Qiao Xinran looked at her with a complicated expression and slowly nodded.
"it is good."
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
"It's a deal then, we'll still be best friends from now on."
"Um."
Qiao Xinran also managed a smile, though it was somewhat forced.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and the atmosphere gradually eased.
But they both knew in their hearts that the rift would last forever.
The so-called reconciliation is nothing more than a compromise based on the weighing of interests.
Xu Yuan didn't care; what she wanted was long-term security.
With Qiao Xin as an ally, her position by Huang Tian's side will be more secure.
Moreover, Qiao Xin has a gentle and easy-going personality, which makes her much better than those women whose backgrounds are unknown.
After leaving Qiao Xin's room, Xu Yuan returned to her own room and sat down at her dressing table.
Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, and recalling Huang Tian's infatuation with her body last night, she couldn't help but feel her face flush.
Huang Tian really likes her figure.
That undisguised possessiveness and lust made Xu Yuan both shy and proud.
Her body was her greatest weapon.
Moreover, because it was too rushed last night, neither of them took any precautions.
Xu Yuan lied to Huang Tian, saying that she was in her safe period.
But actually, these days are her ovulation period.
When a man reaches that point, he doesn't care about anything else.
Xu Yuan looked at herself in the mirror and a sly smile appeared on her lips.
If it really happens—
What will Huang Tianhui's reaction be?
she does not know.
But she was looking forward to it.
If she really is pregnant, then her position by Huang Tian's side will be completely secure.
Even if Huang Tian gets tired of her body later, he won't mistreat her for the sake of the child.
Of course, there are also risks.
What if Huang Tian doesn't want it?
What if Huang Tian makes her abort it?
Xu Yuan bit her lip; she was willing to take the gamble.
I'm betting that Huang Tian still has feelings for her, that he'll soften his heart, and that he's willing to take responsibility.
If she wins, she can use her son to gain status and completely escape poverty.
We lost—
Xu Yuan shook her head, trying to shake off those bad thoughts.
We won't lose.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan touched her flat stomach.
The area is still flat as it was before, but perhaps a seed has already quietly sprouted there.
Xu Yuan stood up and walked to the window, looking down at the lush green trees.
The sun was shining brightly, and she was in a good mood.
From today onward, she will work even harder.
She tried her best to make Huang Tian inseparable from her, and she tried her best to make herself more valuable.
We will strive to secure the best possible future for that child who may exist.
As for Qiao Xinran—
Xu Yuan glanced back at the tightly closed door.
She will help Qiao Xinran.
But the prerequisite is that Qiao Xinran must be sensible and obedient.
Otherwise, how much is a seven-year friendship worth in the face of real-world interests?
