This type of friends can’t be called friends; they would betray you because of benefits, while they would also support you because of benefits, there is no such thing as friendships in their world, only benefits exist.
Yao Jing and Ye Ying belonged to this category of ‘benefit-friends,’ both of them wanted to drag the other person into their troubles and act as their scapegoat, their every sentence is either to probe the other or to compete with the other, don’t they feel tired?
“I don’t feel unwell or anything, since middle school till now, I’m used to it.” Ye Ying wouldn’t fall for her trap, the light in her eyes flickered. Briefly, she lowered her voice: “Yang Heng and Ye Jian seemed quite close, Jing Jing, do you think Yang Heng is fond of Ye Jian?”
“Do you remember the bombing evacuation drill? Ye Jian only joined recently, so she didn’t have a group, so she went to assist the instructors in taking care of stuff. Because of health issues, I also didn’t participate in the drill; then, I saw Yang Heng arrive and walked directly towards Ye Jian.” She slowed down her footsteps; even her voice started to sound depressed, “Even though I was clearly standing by the side, Yang Heng didn’t even notice me and walked towards Ye Jian.”
“The first thing he said was, ‘I guessed that you’d be the first one here.’ it didn’t sound right to me at first, so I took a closer look. When has Yang Heng’s smile ever appeared in front of me before? When he smiled, he gave off a whole different impression.”
“From now on… Jing Jing, don’t say stuff like Yang Heng likes me, it absolutely isn’t, the person he loves is definitely Ye Jian.
Heh, you’ve kept wanting me to act, Yao Jing ah Yao Jing, let’s see how long you’re able to endure this.
This blow had truly sunken Yao Jing’s heart. Still, she was the one who was better at this, after hearing the provocative words, besides her voice being slightly strained, the smile on her face didn’t lessen, “My mother always said that boys couldn’t make up their minds when they are young, their eyes would always wander between the good stuff in front of them.”
“But so what? The crux is for him to be a good person, as long as he’s a good person, we’ll make up their mind in the future. You know, you shouldn’t feel so down, I’ll tell you more about your good points in front of Yang Heng so that Yang Heng would become fond of you again.”
It seems like the sisters from the Ye family was born to be pitted against me, Ye Ying was still slightly more comfortable to handle, at least she was quite useful for me, but Ye Jian… was like the bane of her existence, if they encounter her, then nothing good will come of it!
Staring at Yao Jing who was pretending to be indifferent, Ye Ying pursed a smile and started laughing inwardly, if she’s not doing well, then don’t you even dream of doing well.
After all, they were on the same boat, either they won together, or they lost together!
With different thoughts in mind, the duo had instead become friends that would walk down the path while supporting each other. Meanwhile, Ye Jian, who didn’t rely on others, who also scorned the use of underhanded methods relied on her abilities, was already steadily climbing her way towards the peak.
The bright red flag was planted in Grade 11 Class 1’s faction, that bright and vibrant red that was dancing in the wind was now the property of Grade 11 Class 1, the motivation of the other classes was on the finish line that was right in front of their eyes, if they endured till the end, then they will embrace their victories!
Ye Jian sprinted through the last five kilometers in twenty minutes, running with complete devotion was something easy as pie for Ye Jian, since she had attended two field training in the Bootcamp of FuJun town, one was the summer field training, the other was the winter field training.
Extreme weather force marching, urgent long-distance march, long-distance nighttime raid, she had completed those three major field training with the soldiers, when faced with the ‘normal’ field training of the students, what she had thought of wasn’t to win by herself. Instead, she was going to become the model for her whole class.
“We’re there; we’re there!”
“We’ve finally made it! I’m so proud of myself!”
“Twenty-kilometer field training, we’ve worked unyieldingly for a change!”
Following the increase in the number of students reaching the finish line, their tears came alongside their smiles; they were crying from happiness; it was a happiness that came from conquering themselves!
