At noon, Su Hongxing headed to the restaurant where she and Qiao Qiao had arranged to meet.
From a distance, she spotted Qiao Qiao sitting near a window, appearing heavy-hearted.
"What's so interesting outside?" Su Hongxing took a seat across from Qiao Qiao, attempting to lighten the mood.
Snapping back to reality, Qiao Qiao forced a smile, "Let's eat first. Otherwise, I'm afraid the sight of me will spoil your appetite."
Overcome by amusement, Su Hongxing responded, "You make it sound so serious - now you've scared me."
As they chatted over lunch, Su Hongxing felt a wave of nostalgia for their carefree university days. However, time had flown by, and they were now both 27, far from the young girls they once were.
After they had almost finished their meal, Su Hongxing looked at Qiao Qiao, "You've kept me waiting long enough. It's time you told me."
Looking at Su Hongxing's radiant smile, Qiao Qiao found herself unable to return the gesture.
