On the way to the restaurant, Xiao Yang received a phone call.
I couldn't tell what the other person said, but his expression darkened immediately.
As soon as we entered the restaurant, I spotted Yue Shan with a strange man.
"Long time no see," Yue Shan said, linking her arm with the man and smiling at me.
"Long time no see," I replied flatly.
Yue Shan had always led a colorful personal life, and I had no interest in the man by her side.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Yang and I headed to our private room.
"How can you like places like this?" I glanced around the environment and frowned as I asked.
Xiao Yang looked down and chuckled softly, "As long as you like it."
He ordered several dishes that I loved, but I couldn't help stealing another glance at him.
After all these years of knowing each other, he still remembered my preferences.
But between us… it was already impossible.
"How did you and Yue Shan break up?" I couldn't resist asking.
Xiao Yang fell silent for a moment before changing the subject. "The food will be here soon; let's have some tea first."
I didn’t press further.
The meal was consumed in silence.
As we were finishing our meal, Xiao Yang suddenly said,
"Zhou Ya, Yue Shan and Li Wu are together."
I was taken aback. "What did you say?"
Xiao Yang repeated, "Yue Shan and Li Wu are together."
I stared at Xiao Yang in shock. "You..."
Xiao Yang smiled awkwardly. "Surprising, right? I was surprised too."
I fell silent for a moment before I couldn't help but ask, "When you met Li Wu, Yue Shan was your girlfriend, right?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yang nodded. "They had just started dating not long before."
I clicked my tongue. "Your ex's new partner is your good friend... that’s a bit complicated."
Xiao Yang looked at me helplessly. "I didn't know about their relationship back then."
I didn't say anything more.
The meal passed in silence.
When Xiao Yang went to pay the bill, I left the restaurant first.
Just as I reached the back of the car, Xiao Yang suddenly caught up with me.
He pushed me against the car and blocked me with his body.
In the next moment, he pulled a small box from his suit pocket.
When he opened it, inside was a ring shaped like a six-pointed star.
Xiao Yang knelt on one knee and asked, "Zhou Ya, will you marry me?"
I was taken aback. "…What did you say?"
He said earnestly, "Zhou Ya, I love you! Marry me!"
I regained my composure and let out a cold laugh. "Don't joke around!"
Xiao Yang stubbornly looked at me. "I'm serious."
I stared into his eyes. "Alright! You want to get married, right? Then tell me! Why did you go abroad for treatment? And why did you lose your memory?"
Xiao Yang opened his mouth to speak. "I…"
Just then, I heard hurried footsteps behind me.
Before I could turn around, a piercing laugh rang out.
"Xiao Yang, you really are a liar!" Yue Shan suddenly appeared from nowhere.
She was holding a fruit knife in her hand.
"Watch out!" I pushed Xiao Yang away.
But it was too late!
Yue Shan lunged at us with a knife, madness in her eyes.
“Xiao Yang! You liar! I’m going to kill you!!!”
Once Xiao Yang realized what was happening, he pulled me into his arms.
The tip of Yue Shan's knife pierced into Xiao Yang's back.
In the chaos, I trembled as I fumbled for my phone to call for help.
But no matter how hard I tried, the call wouldn’t go through!
Suddenly, I remembered that my bag had been knocked to the ground by Yue Shan!
My phone was in the bag!
I pushed Yue Shan away with all my strength and cried out, “Someone! Help!!!”
Hearing the commotion, the restaurant's security and guests rushed over.
Seeing people approaching, Yue Shan tossed aside the knife and fled.
I didn’t care about anything else and rushed to embrace Xiao Yang.
“Xiao Yang! You can’t die! You can’t die!!!” I cried out in desperation.
