Jiao Long sat in his living room, staring blankly at his phone. He had been thinking for hours about whether to text or call Pan An, his best friend and Ruo Xi's ex-boyfriend. It had been years since they had spoken, and Jiao Long couldn't help but feel hesitant about contacting him.
He knew that Pan An still had feelings for Ruo Xi, and he was worried about how he would react to the news that she was now married to Jiao Long. Would he be angry? Would he think that Jiao Long had kept his distance all these years because he wanted Ruo Xi for himself?
Jiao Long paced back and forth in the room, his thoughts racing. He wanted to reach out to Pan An, to explain everything to him and to try and mend their friendship. But he was afraid of how it might turn out.
