"Jie, the thing is… I'm scared that I might forget about my childhood sweetheart instead..."
I was stupefied when Meng bao suddenly said something like that. It took me a while to register that in my brain because I didn't know how to react.
'Is it an insult? Because he is still comparing me to that childhood sweetheart of his. But at the same time… doesn't this meant that I'm better than his childhood sweetheart?'
I had a hard time deciding what kind of reaction I should show, so in the end, I just nodded and ignored it. I tried to shift the topic instead, "Go eat, Meng Bao, you must be hungry. I cut a lot of meat so you can eat it."
Meng Bao stared at me, seemingly disappointed by my nonchalant attitude. He took the rice bowl and picked a slice of meat from the hotpot.
