Lu Shishu withdrew her gaze again. Yes! This barrier had existed in her heart for seven years, and that was indeed a long ti.
During their conversation, Little Yu’er hadn’t said a word, just quietly sat by drinking milk tea and eating cake. Moreover, she couldn’t quite understand what they were talking about; she only knew it was about her brother.
After all, the na Nan Jiayan was one she recognized.
"Alright, enough about . Didn’t you text at noon saying you had sothing to tell ? Co on, spill it! What’s going on between you and Ming Haize?" Lu Shishu tossed her thoughts aside and asked softly, with a faint smile.
He Qianyue was taken aback upon hearing this, widening her eyes in disbelief: "How...how did you know I wanted to talk about him?"
"From just now, you ntioned Ming Haize two or three tis in our conversation. If I couldn’t guess it, there must be sothing wrong with my brain, right? So, tell , what’s going on? You two have been on and off for seven or eight years, to be honest, I’ve felt twisted and pained for you two. Clearly, you both have each other, but refuse to step out of your comfort zones to take just one step forward." Lu Shishu rolled her eyes at her, took a sip of coffee, and rcilessly teased her.
He Qianyue sighed silently. She was well aware of the issues between her and Ming Haize—family background, values, perspectives, and even his insecurities had been barriers for seven or eight years.
It’s not like she hadn’t tried hard for this relationship, both during school and afterward, but in the end, it led nowhere. She also had her comfort zone, and she couldn’t give up all her dignity and pride for a relationship. To prevent herself from getting hurt, she chose to stop and develop her career overseas. In recent years, she hadn’t really been in touch with Ming Haize, let alone seen him. Not even for Lin Xuwan’s son’s full moon banquet did she return.
As for the real reason for not returning, only she knew.
But after so many years, to say she had let it go, she might not even believe it herself. To say she hadn’t, but in recent tis, she had indeed been living quite freely.
Her feelings for Ming Haize were akin to love unfulfilled, leaving regrets, anger, and even unwillingness in her heart.
"Say sothing!" Seeing that He Qianyue wasn’t speaking, Lu Shishu felt her patience wearing thin and urged her.
"Wasn’t it that ti we had a party? He was there too, and then we both got drunk, right? Weren’t you taken ho by Nan Jiayan?"
At the ntion of this, Lu Shishu suddenly felt an impulse not to listen any further.
"Ming Haize took ho, and then the next morning, I woke up at his place."
Lu Shishu was speechless once more. This felt like a plot she had seen sowhere, incredibly familiar, beyond familiar.
"Actually, at that ti, I was very resistant. After all, we had clearly decided not to have any more entanglents, but... when I was about to leave, he suddenly grabbed and kissed . Can you believe it? His stubborn personality actually took the initiative to kiss forcefully—what does that an? It’s more frightening than a pig climbing a tree! I was shocked at that mont."
Lu Shishu was stunned as she listened. Although she was a bit surprised, a scene suddenly flashed in her mind of Nan Jiayan kissing her forehead, making her heart skip a beat, like being electrified.
Was she sick?
Listening to the gossip about He Qianyue and Ming Haize, she could actually picture herself in that scenario?
"So... what happened next?" Lu Shishu slightly shook her head to dismiss those thoughts and awkwardly asked.
"Well, I was quite angry at first, but then he suddenly confessed to , leaving completely dumbfounded."
"And are you together now?"
"Hmm... not exactly, but in general, things are much better than before. I haven’t agreed yet!"
"Well, that’s great! You two have really co out of the woods. He made you wait so long; now that he’s finally caught on, you should make him wait a good while too. Let him truly experience that kind of tornt. Agreeing to him imdiately would be too easy for him." Lu Shishu saw the smile on her face and felt happy and relieved for her. After all, so many years had passed, and they’ve finally arrived at this point; it’s not too late.
