"Being with you, I don’t worry about being laughed at, or worry about rumors or being looked down upon. We’re just real and imperfect, accepting each other, understanding each other, supporting each other and cheering each other on."
After thinking for a mont, she corrected herself, "There’s only one imperfect person, and that’s . You’re perfect."
"I’m not perfect either." Ning Youguang gently refilled her wine glass.
"Whatever a fairy says is right." Gu Xi laughed and raised his wine glass, "To our friendship everlasting."
Ning Youguang raised his teacup, "To our friendship everlasting."
As Gu Xi talked on, she moved herself, "You know, it’s because of friends like you that I feel I can stay single, that I don’t need a lover. Having you around feels just great."
Her eyes glistened with tears, "When I’m upset now, the one I want to contact the most may not be a man, but it definitely has to be a friend."
"Look, like now, we’re eating, drinking, getting full, waking up the next day to see the sunshine outside the window—another day full of vitality, isn’t that great? Good food, drink, and friends can heal any sorrow, can make forget fleeting unhappiness."
Ning Youguang was affected by Gu Xi’s emotions, also starting to reminisce, "Wow, we’ve known each other for over ten years now, haven’t we?"
"Yeah, we’ve been friends for more than ten years." Gu Xi’s eyes widened slightly.
Then, she rolled up her sleeves and picked up chopsticks to serve beef from the pot to herself and Ning Youguang, "It’s been over ten years, the Little Fairy has beco a Heavenly Immortal, and I’ve gone from Student Gu to General Manager Gu."
"To General Manager Gu." Ning Youguang raised his teacup, his face full of joy.
This year, she worked hard, becoming the most popular bestselling author in the country.
Gu Xi also worked hard to get promoted.
She went from being an ordinary employee at a large corporation to gradually becoming a managent figure erging in the industry.
"Thank you, Professor Ning." Gu Xi’s smile was bright with a touch of pure innocence, "Yet what’s unchanged is that we’re always here, able to talk about everything without fear of being seen as crazy by each other..."
Ning Youguang smiled warmly, "You’re right."
Gu Xi hiccupped from the alcohol—"Even if we’re thought of as crazy, it doesn’t matter, my best friend is a doctor after all, plenty of ways to treat , hahaha."
Amidst the hazy warmth, Ning Youguang’s smile deepened.
As Gu Xi drank more, her words flowed more freely, "I’m especially grateful from Jincheng to Beijing, you always encouraged , made believe I could, no matter what the future holds, I feel happy now even without a boyfriend."
When girls are together, especially when one is single, the topic inevitably turns to n.
"I recently t a guy, help analyze, does he seem interested in ?" Gu Xi put down her chopsticks.
"Sure." Ning Youguang beca a little interested.
"So here’s the thing, we t on a business project, the first ti we t, he asked what perfu I was wearing. After I answered, he nodded and smiled, saying it slled really good." Gu Xi organized her thoughts a bit before speaking, "Then the second ti, I used a stronger slling perfu, and he didn’t ask about it anymore. Before, I thought he was interested in my perfu, but after the second ti, I think maybe he’s not."
Ning Youguang nodded, "Anything else?"
"Also, he likes complinting , when he talks to , he looks into my eyes." Gu Xi said, "Once he looked into my eyes and said, ’Your eyes are really beautiful,’ I replied, ’Really?’, he just nodded without saying anything more, made wonder what he ant by that."
Ning Youguang asked, "Moreover, does he occasionally touch your shoulder, back, elbow you, trying to close the distance between you?"
Gu Xi looked surprised, "How do you know?!"
Ning Youguang laughed, "Congratulations, you’ve encountered a master of flirting!"
"Huh?!" Gu Xi was very surprised, "How so?"
"From asking about your perfu the first ti you t to later physical interactions, all of it shows he wants to establish a personal connection with you, unconsciously launching a flirting offensive to win your favor. He’s a master, watch out."
