"How could this be?!" Tang San's eyes nearly split open. His twisted expression made Xiao Wu feel as though she no longer recognized him. Even Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar—teammates who had spent time with Tang San every day—shuddered at the madness, hatred, and predatory hunger in his gaze. "There's someone else in your heart... You betrayed me!"
"You betrayed me first."
Xiao Wu took a step back.
That step was like an arrow piercing Tang San's heart. "And you were the one who explained the effects of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. You couldn't pluck it, yet instead of looking for the problem in yourself, you questioned me... Third Brother, this is the last time I'll call you Third Brother. Leave at least a shred of dignity for the friendship we once had. Don't defile friendship any further!"
"Bullshit!" Tang San completely broke down. He stepped forward and reached out, wanting to seize Xiao Wu by the shoulders. "You know, Xiao Wu, we aren't really brother and sister. I swore on the village grassland that I would protect you for the rest of my life!"
"How will you protect me?"
"Protect me until death?"
Xiao Wu gave a self-mocking smile, her words carrying two meanings.
As she watched Tang San's hand reach for her—
A trace of fear flickered through her pink eyes.
With a slight exertion of her long legs, she leaped five meters back and landed firmly.
Her words also carried two meanings as she warned Tang San, "Let it end here, Tang San. The friendship we once had still exists, but it is only the friendship we once had. Please don't force me, and don't make it so that we can't even remain friends!"
"Little San!"
"Mind your manners!"
"Mind the occasion!"
