"Li Na, it's been ages! How have you been?"
Li Na, with a subtle smirk, replied, "Oh, Xing Fei, how gracious of you to notice my existence after all this time. I must have slipped from your memory amidst your glamorous pursuits."
Ning Yu observed the exchange between Li Na and Xing Fei, sensing the tension in the air. She knew that Li Na typically showed respect to others, but Xing Fei's presence seemed to provoke a different reaction from her friend.
Ning Yu leaned closer, her eyes filled with interest.
Xing Fei, taken aback by Li Na's response, attempted to maintain the illusion of friendliness. "Oh, Li Na don't be like that, I just thought I'd catch up with an old friend," she replied, putting on a sweet smile. "It's been so long, and I've missed you so much; how have you been?"
Li Na arched an eyebrow. "Oh, Xing Fei, my life has been simply delightful. I've just been reveling in the joy of life without your presence."
