It's not too late to meet in the book

The setting sun's afterglow filtered through the gaps in the curtains, dappling the corners of the room, adding a soft golden hue to the somewhat dreary space. Su Xiaoxiao gently pushed the door open and walked into the room with light steps, as if afraid to disturb anything. She saw Wang Jing sitting by the bed, her back to the door, her shoulders trembling slightly, and occasional suppressed sobs echoing. The air was filled with an indescribable heaviness, the smell of heartbreak and despair.

Su Xiaoxiao approached slowly, each step seeming to gauge the depth of their friendship. She gently sat down beside Wang Jing, not rushing to speak, but silently handing her a tissue. Her silent concern was like a ray of spring sunshine, warm and unobtrusive.

After a long time, when Wang Jing's crying gradually subsided, Su Xiaoxiao said softly: "Jingjing, I know you are very sad now. It feels like a big stone is pressing on your heart and you can't breathe. But you can't just give up like this. Who hasn't encountered a few obstacles on the road of love?"

Wang Jing didn't look up. She just silently took the tissue, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoxiao, you don't understand. This time is different. Renault...he did something that I can't forgive."

Su Xiaoxiao sighed, her eyes gentle and firm, as if they could penetrate all the fog and reach the softest part of people's hearts. "Jingjing, do you think I don't understand? I remember when Lin Yu and I first got together, we also went through countless twists and turns. At that time, he was busy with work and often ignored my feelings. I even doubted whether he really loved me. Once, he ignored me for several weeks because of an important project. I was so angry that I almost broke up with him."

At this point, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes grew distant, as if transported back to those youthful yet challenging times. "Back then, I too hid in my room, crying alone, feeling like my whole world had collapsed. But later, I mustered the courage to talk to him, and I realized how much pressure he was under, and how much he needed someone who understood him. We sat down and calmly resolved all the misunderstandings, and since then, our relationship has only grown stronger."

Wang Jing finally turned around, her eyes red and swollen, a look of confusion and desire. "Really? How did you do it? When I think of Renault now, I feel only anger and disappointment."

Su Xiaoxiao held Wang Jing's hands, which were slightly cold from crying. "Jingjing, the key is communication. We are all independent individuals, with our own ideas and difficulties. Sometimes, a small misunderstanding can drive two hearts apart. But as long as we are willing to give each other a chance and sit down to have a good talk, many problems can be easily solved. Renault may have his own difficulties, so you might want to listen to his explanation."

Wang Jing lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes, her inner struggle clearly visible. "But I'm afraid that after hearing this, I will be even more sad and unable to forgive him."

Su Xiaoxiao gently patted the back of Wang Jing's hand, as if to convey strength. "We're afraid because we care. But precisely because we care, we should face it bravely, right? Giving yourself a chance is also giving your relationship a chance. Maybe you'll find that things aren't as bad as you imagined."

The room fell into a brief silence, with only the occasional bird song outside the window as if accompanying the conversation. Su Xiaoxiao didn't urge them, but just quietly accompanied them, waiting for Wang Jing to make a decision.

Finally, Wang Jing raised her head. Although tears still lingered in her eyes, her gaze was more determined. "Okay, Xiaoxiao, I'll listen to you. I'll give Renault a chance, and also give myself a chance. However, if he really does something irreversible, I won't force myself anymore."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled, a smile that was warm and encouraging. "That's right, Jingjing. No matter what the outcome, at least you tried and worked hard, and that's enough. Remember, no matter what, I will always be by your side."

Su Xiaoxiao stood up, walked to the window, and gently opened the curtains, letting the last rays of sunset shine fully into the room. That light seemed to illuminate Wang Jing's heart as well. "Look, the world outside is still beautiful. Don't miss out on all the scenery because of a temporary haze."

Wang Jing also stood up and walked to Su Xiaoxiao. The two stood side by side in front of the window, looking at the sun gradually sinking into the horizon in the distance, their hearts filled with new hope.

"Thank you, Xiaoxiao. It's great to have you around." Wang Jing's voice was filled with gratitude and expectations for the future.

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and gave Wang Jing a warm hug. "We are friends, aren't we? Friends are people who give each other the greatest support and courage when needed. Now, it's your turn to face it bravely. I believe you can do it."

As night fell, the atmosphere in the room grew more relaxed. Although Wang Jing still felt uneasy, a sense of determination and courage had already taken root within her. She knew that for the sake of this relationship, and for herself, she had to take this step.

"I will go find him tomorrow." Wang Jing's voice was soft but extremely firm.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled, which was the deepest blessing for a friend. "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

As the night deepened, the two smiled at each other, their tacit understanding needing no words. In this small room, the power of friendship quietly blossomed, illuminating each other's hearts and heralding a new beginning.

"No matter what the result is, remember, I am here." Su Xiaoxiao's words were like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminating Wang Jing's way forward.

Wang Jing nodded, a new light in her eyes. "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Xiaoxiao."

The conversation came to a temporary end here, but the two hearts were more closely connected because of this in-depth exchange. They would walk hand in hand on the road ahead, no matter the wind and rain.
