Two handso n walked one after another in the corridor, attracting the attention of passersby, especially many won. If these won knew that these two outstanding n were walking together for a woman, it might make An Nan the target of jealousy for all won.
In this world, there is such a kind of woman, not necessarily excellently skilled, nor a peerless beauty. They simply rely on their unique charm to attract outstanding n and beco the envy of won everywhere.
In a sowhat secluded corner, Zhan Qiyi and Lin Mubai stood face to face; the two equally excellent n wore serious expressions.
Lin Mubai thought the man before him would talk about An Nan, but the reality was completely beyond his expectations. Zhan Qiyi did not ntion An Nan; instead, he asked with a faint smile, "What do you think An Nan is like?"
ntioning An Nan, Lin Mubai’s face instantly softened, slowly revealing his understanding of that little woman: "Nannan appears cold and silent on the outside, yet she yearns for warmth deep down. I know she has stories in her heart, but I don’t want to force her. I’m waiting for the day she chooses to tell ."
Lin Mubai’s words caused Zhan Qiyi to once again fall into silence. After a while, a pleased smile erged on his lips: "Only now do I know where my failure lies. The connection between people has never been about the length of ti but rather the distance between hearts. I originally thought I understood An Nan the best, but at this mont, I realize I don’t. Knowing her for so long hasn’t given the sa understanding you have in such a short ti. And over all these years, she has never given a chance but has been willing to let you get close. What does this signify? I see it clearly; I just don’t wish to believe it."
Saying this, Zhan Qiyi’s lips carried a hint of indistinct loss; the person sitting opposite opened their mouth wanting to say sothing, but he continued speaking, softly interrupting: "Today, I have no agenda other than to wish you happiness, to bless you both."
In the end, he couldn’t help but voice a bittersweet blessing, solidifying his position: henceforth, he’d only be An Nan’s best friend, nothing more.
Within his blessing, Lin Mubai nods and says, "Thank you."
However, that single "Thank you" weighed heavily, with no reason to bring joy.
"You should go back first; otherwise, they’ll definitely find us here. I want to be alone here for a while longer."
"Alright, then I’ll go first." Lin Mubai stood up and left.
Back in the private room, he naturally faced a barrage of questions. The reason Lin Mubai thought of was adequate: "I saw a friend, so we chatted a bit." Then he continued to sit beside An Nan, his voice still gentle, his gaze filled with emotion, causing everyone at the table to cry out in amazent.
"Are you full?"
"Uh huh, I’ve eaten quite enough." Tonight’s dishes were mostly her favorites, and the one who knew her tastes so well could only be this man beside her. It would be false to say she remained unmoved. She herself felt her heart slowly giving way, possibly surrendering completely in the not-too-distant future.
