Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 92 True Friends

"Why Hui cuisine?"

At noon, Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang chose a Hui Restaurant.

"I think Hui cuisine should probably suit your taste," Shen Siyuan said.

"Why would you think that?"

"Because you like Sichuan cuisine, so you probably prefer heavy flavors, the nearby Luzhou native cuisine is too sweet, and Cantonese cuisine too bland..."

"You really thought it through," Ruan Hongzhuang said, sowhat delighted.

"As long as you like it."

Shen Siyuan said and then bowed his head to continue replying to ssages on WeChat.

He had ignored Hong Wenqing all morning, not knowing he had been leaving him hanging; after all, this was his close friend.

When he opened the WeChat chat with Hong Wenqing, countless ssages popped up.

"You scoundrel~"

"Speak, you scoundrel~"

"You really deserve to die~"

"This girl is so pretty, how could she fancy you, you must have hired her, right?"

"MD, have you blocked ?"

"You deserve to die, wait till you co online, I’m going to kill you a hundred tis."

"Where are you?"

"Where are you guys? I’ll treat you to lunch."

"Fc*k, did you really block ?"

"Flying kick.gif."

"Flying kick.gif."

...

"Breaking friendship. Angry.jpg."

...

Seeing these ssages from Hong Wenqing, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but grin.

"What’s so funny that you’re laughing so happily?" Ruan Hongzhuang across the table asked curiously.

"It’s about that friend from this morning, I blocked him and he’s really mad..."

"And you’re still laughing so happily?" Ruan Hongzhuang said, astonished.

"Because he’s a good brother, his anger makes happy."

"I really don’t understand you guys."

"There’s sothing else I want to tell you."

"What?"

"Actually, before asking you out, I had planned to go gaming with him today," Shen Siyuan said.

"So... you stood him up?" Ruan Hongzhuang’s eyes widened.

"Is that really okay? He must be very upset, right?"

While saying this, Ruan Hongzhuang stretched her neck to glance at Shen Siyuan’s phone screen, catching sight of that last "Breaking friendship" ssage.

"Sorry, it’s all my fault; I made your friend want to break up with you," Ruan Hongzhuang said feeling guilty.

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but give her a look; her words seed quite lodramatic.

But it looked like Ruan Hongzhuang genuinely felt apologetic.

"Just joking around, you took it seriously, watch reply to him, and he’ll definitely respond imdiately."

Saying this, Shen Siyuan typed and sent a ssage.

"Where?"

Then, he faced a setback—the ssage was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no reply for a long while.

Seeing Shen Siyuan’s awkward expression, Ruan Hongzhuang couldn’t help but laugh.

They waited until the waiter served the dishes, but still no response from Hong Wenqing.

"He’s not really angry, is he?"

Shen Siyuan also felt a bit uneasy in his heart. Hong Wenqing was quite a good friend, and he did not want to lose such a friend because of this.

"Should I apologize to him? Mr. Qing surely can’t be that petty, right?" Shen Siyuan muttered to himself.

Seeing Shen Siyuan looking absent-minded, Ruan Hongzhuang said, "Why not give him a call?"

"Make a call, why should I make a call?" Shen Siyuan widened his eyes.

Seeing Shen Siyuan acting stubborn, Ruan Hongzhuang found it even more amusing and thought that he seed more genuine this way.

Just then, Shen Siyuan’s phone screen lit up.

Shen Siyuan quickly picked up the phone, and sure enough, it was a ssage from Hong Wenqing: "NMD, of course, I’m at the Blue Sea Internet Cafe, where else could I be?"

Hong Wenqing’s attitude wasn’t very good, but Shen Siyuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he imdiately replied: "Then why did it take you so long to reply to ?"

"Of course I was clearing a dungeon. Did you think I couldn’t live without you?"

"How you talk, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, why, do you want to co over and eat with ?"

"No, I’m eating right now. Just thought of you and wanted to remind you."

Shen Siyuan snapped a photo, with Ruan Hongzhuang also in the fra, but only showing half of her body.

"Ah ah ah, you’re really killing , you dog thing~"

"Alright, I know you’re anxious, don’t be in a hurry, go eat sothing first, we’ll talk later."

After replying to this ssage, Shen Siyuan quickly blocked his ssage notifications again.

He had a bit of OCD; be it SMS or WeChat, whenever there was a pop-up or a red dot, he always felt the urge to check it. Blocking the notifications made him feel much more comfortable.

Seeing Shen Siyuan put down his phone, Ruan Hongzhuang, who hadn’t moved her chopsticks at all, said, "Are you done chatting? Is your friend not angry anymore?"

"He wasn’t angry in the first place. If he gets upset over such a small matter, I’d rather not have such a friend."

Ruan Hongzhuang covered her mouth and giggled, finding his stubbornness quite adorable.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, let’s eat."

"You can laugh if you want. I don’t have many friends. It’s rare to find soone I resonate with, I don’t want to lose him just like that. Life is full of comings and goings, most people are just passers-by..."

Ruan Hongzhuang, who was still laughing, suddenly found it hard to laugh. She felt the sa, especially since back in middle school, her best friend suddenly passed away, which was a big shock to her...

Just then, Shen Siyuan suddenly said, "Let’s eat."

Ruan Hongzhuang: ...

Ruan Hongzhuang glared at him discontentedly, this man was really petty.

But she didn’t say anything more, and the two started eating and talked about other topics.

"Do you have plans with a friend tomorrow?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked seemingly casually.

"I have sothing in the morning tomorrow, but... I have a date in the afternoon."

"A date?"

Ruan Hongzhuang put down her chopsticks and looked at Shen Siyuan with a questioning gaze, her face slightly unhappy, as if to say, you have , why do you still have other dates? And to say it in front of ?

"Before I t you, a colleague from the company introduced to soone else. She works at the aquarium, and I promised to go watch her performance tomorrow."

"Must you go?" Ruan Hongzhuang said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"A promise is a promise. However, if you’re free tomorrow afternoon, you could co with ," Shen Siyuan said.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang hesitated: "Would that... be okay?"

After all, this person knew Shen Siyuan before she did.

"There’s nothing wrong with that. She clearly told that she isn’t interested in dating right now, which is why we are sitting here. Otherwise, I would have definitely refused to et you," Shen Siyuan said.

Ruan Hongzhuang was a bit happy but also a bit unhappy upon hearing this.

Happy because the other woman missed out on Shen Siyuan, unhappy because if the other woman hadn’t, Shen Siyuan would have given her up.

Won are just such a complex of contradictions.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll begrudgingly accompany you," Ruan Hongzhuang said with feigned arrogance.

"Then I thank you, Miss," Shen Siyuan played along.

The two looked at each other and laughed, with a romantic atmosphere spreading between them.

So say that the most beautiful part of falling in love is the process, the mutual ambiguity, the sweet entanglent at the tip of each other’s hearts, which is the most beautiful thing in the Mortal World.

Shen Siyuan wanted to say, that statent couldn’t be more correct.
