The waitress had been gone for quite a while, yet Lin Xiaoyi still hadn't snapped back to reality, her gaze fixed on the direction where the waitress had left.
I got a bit curious, "Do you know each other?"
Upon hearing my voice, Lin Xiaoyi finally came back to her senses, her expression somewhat desolate, "It's nothing, just an acquaintance."
I curled up a faint, almost imperceptible smile, picked up the water cup on the table, and took a gentle sip, my curiosity now fully piqued. Lin Xiaoyi's typically carefree disposition wouldn't normally allow for such emotional turbulence, this person must be significant.
Soon enough, that same waitress came over, grinning with the bullfrog hotpot in hand. After placing the dish down, she immediately took off, not daring to glance at Lin Xiaoyi.
