The words "good friend" were a little subtle.
As a lesbian, Lin Yuan liked women. Lu An was straight and only liked Jin Nian.
In China, sexual orientation was still relatively conservative and would not be discussed openly. Lesbians were relatively rare, and in an environment where there were so many single females, lesbians were even rarer.
Now, Jin Nian had only met a few male best friends in the agency, but she had rarely seen a lesbian.
Lu An and Lin Yuan had known each other for more than ten years. They were three years apart, so Lu An had never treated Lin Yuan as a member of the opposite sex.
When Lu An was still in Canada during the winter when he was 16 years old, he saw Lin Yuan kissing a long-haired girl passionately.
Lu An found this interesting. With both hands in his pockets, he stood there and watched the two girls kiss with interest.
