In her previous life, they couldn't even be considered friends. Yet, in this life, He Huai seemed to have taken a liking to her. Shen Wan couldn't help but ponder – destiny was truly full of the unexpected, always throwing surprises.
But one thing was clear; she had no romantic feelings for He Huai at the moment.
Since he had already laid his cards on the table, she couldn't be vague about it either. Although she hadn't had a proper romantic relationship in both lifetimes combined, Shen Wan had decent emotional intelligence. She understood that avoiding the topic might imply, "You can continue pursuing me." So, she planned to state her position during this opportunity.
"Ah Huai, I think it's better for us to remain friends."
"...What do you mean?" He Huai's voice dropped, and his heart sank.
Shen Wan could tell he was getting the message and decided to be straightforward, "I mean, we shouldn't..."
