Regarding who suggested traveling together, Huang Jing could only give a helpless wry smile.
"I don't know either."
"It's not that I won't tell, but after I got on the plane and fell asleep, by the time I woke up, Xia Ke asked me how I felt about having two more travel companions. I was still groggy then."
"Knowing they were colleagues from the same company, I thought about it and realized it would be safer."
"I had no reason to object."
"So," Huang Jing spread her hands in resignation, "just like that, a trip for two became a trip for four."
"Then after that, we just went to the supermarket, bought some food, and had a simple dinner together."
"And look, we were just eating in a small restaurant. I mean, if we were dating, as new lovers, would we eat in such a place?"
"There are nicer restaurants around here, whether it's the ambiance or the setting, all are better than this little place."
"Besides, if Shen Lan and I were dating, there'd be nothing to hide."
