Yan Feng sat there lost in thought, constantly recalling everything Nian Bing had said. It took a while, but when one-third of the dishes in front of him had diminished, he finally lifted his head.
"Nian Bing, thank you. I know you have my best interests at heart, and only now do I truly feel that you have come to regard me as a friend. Alright, I'll take your advice, I'll try. Moreover, you can rest assured, I will not do anything indecent towards her unless I can marry Yu'er in the future. Having made my choice, I will strive for it. I aim to become a true man, to fully step out of my past shadows."
Nian Bing cracked a slight smile, "I haven't misjudged you, I knew you would make this choice. Believe in yourself, that is the right choice. Yan Feng, we are friends now."
