Feeling the soreness, Mu Xiaoxiao frowned and instinctively shrank away from his touch.

He was startled for a moment, and he asked, "Is it very painful?"

Mu Xiaoxiao eyes revealed a bitter sneer. Han Xue"er was merciless and heavy-handed with her every hit. How could it not hurt?

Wasn"t he watching from the side, allowing it to happen?

She couldn"t help but think that if Yin Shaojie was her, he definitely wouldn"t have let her endure this pain.

As the thought flitted across her mind, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately began to miss Yin Shaojie!

She sniffed and asked Yu Zhe with a pitiful voice, "Yu Zhe… Can you help me? Only you can help me now, okay? Help me call Yin Shaojie and tell him to come save me."

No one would want to die if there was still hope.

She didn"t want to die either!

( B oxnovel.c om )   She had only just been together with Yin Shaojie, and their blissful times had yet to come. In the future, there was still lots of happy times that they had yet to experience together, so she really didn"t want to die. She wanted to live on and spend the rest of her life with Yin Shaojie.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhe froze for a moment, and he put down his finger.

"No, I can"t help you," he said coldly.

Mu Xiaoxiao asked grievously, "Why? Yu Zhe, do you want me to die? Have you really never treated me as a friend?"

He had obviously been so good to her. He even remembered her tastes and would even prepare strawberry milk and sandwiches for her.

Why would he suddenly treat her like this?

Mu Xiaoxiao couldn"t wrap her head around this!

Even if it was just as Han Xue"er had said, that he liked her, had his love turned into hatred?

But she didn"t believe that Yu Zhe was this kind of a person!

Suddenly, she remembered what he had said to Han Xue"er earlier…

In an instant, Mu Xiaoxiao"s blood seemed to regurgitate, her heart turning chilly.

So, he knew about the terrible things that Han Xue"er was going to do to her, right?

Yet, he still chose to help Han Xue"er.

Why?

She really couldn"t understand why!

In this moment, all the hopes that she was carrying instantly shattered.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him in anguish and said, "Why are you doing this to me?"

Although she had never done anything for him, she had always regarded him as a friend!

Yu Zhe took a deep breath as if he was restraining himself as he stared at her with a complicated expression on his face.

( B oxnovel.c om )  He didn"t say anything but only stared at her with a look of yearning and attachment as if to engrave her into the depths of his memory.

Mu Xiaoxiao"s tears continued to fall, and she stopped appealing to him.

She had already given up all hopes on him.

Tears blurred her vision, so she couldn"t make out Yu Zhe"s expression as he stared at her.

After some time, Yu Zhe finally stood up.

Mu Xiaoxiao wasn"t looking at him. She seemed to be very tired, staring into the distance as if she wasn"t here in spirit.

Yu Zhe slowly walked out.

Standing at the door, he said in a raspy voice, "Yes, I… have treated you as a friend."

He paused for a while as though he was waiting for her reaction.

However, after a few minutes, there was no sound from Mu Xiaoxiao as if she had fallen asleep.

Emotions flitted across Yu Zhe"s eyes, and he left the room.

Mu Xiaoxiao heard what he had said, but she had no response because it was all meaningless.

The point was no longer about whether he had treated her as a friend before but that he had betrayed her.

Betrayal could not be forgiven.
