When Xu Shen heard those words, it would be a lie to say he felt no reaction at all. He simply didn’t want to show it too obviously. However, when his friend mentioned that familiar name, it still caused a slight tremor in his heart.
He realized that he had made some small mistakes at work, perhaps a reflexive response. This girl held a significant place in his heart; despite the years that had passed, no one could replace her. So, all these years, he had been reluctant to let go of her and often found himself reminiscing about her. Although they had lost all contact, he occasionally learned about her life habits and some simple information through mutual acquaintances. Yet, he didn’t want to make it too obvious. Since they no longer had any relationship, he didn’t want anyone to think he was still hopelessly infatuated.
After all, he was a man. If he showed too much concern for her, people would mock him for being overly sentimental. Therefore, no matter how much he cared for her, he couldn’t let anyone notice. So when his friend brought up that familiar name, although he felt shocked inside, he maintained an air of nonchalance as if nothing had happened.
Only by doing so could he convince his friend that he had no feelings left for the girl and no interest in her anymore. Even if his friend made such a request, he remained unmoved. His friend quickly realized that after making that comment and seeing no reaction from Xu Shen, it was likely a wasted effort and that he might have miscalculated again.
Initially, the friend thought this might be an opportunity for them to reconnect; after all, their past relationship had been so good. How could it just end like that? If they could meet again, perhaps they could reignite the feelings they once shared. However, seeing Xu Shen’s indifference made it clear that he had moved on from Li Yingxue, rendering the conversation quite dull.
The friend quickly changed the subject. “Since you really don’t want to go out, I won’t push you. We can go any day you feel like it. Just let me know when you’re in a good mood; I’ll reserve a table in advance. It seems like you’re not feeling great today, so I won’t insist. But if we miss this chance today, there might not be another opportunity like it. And next time we go to that restaurant, you’ll have to treat me—remember that! Today is my treat; any other day will be on you.”
“However,” the friend continued, “if you’re not planning to eat at that restaurant today, you should at least have something to eat. My stomach is already growling! If you don’t mind, I can order some other delicious food for us because eating is the most important thing amidst any work.”
