Although Su Jiushan’s matter was dealt with, Ye Xi still felt guilty towards Yu Gangan.
So, even though Yu Gangan clearly remembered that Ye Xi was next to her, Ye Xi was gone when she turned around.
She gave Ye Xi a phone call, but he did not pick up. He simply replied with a message, “Sis, I’m gone. I have no face to see you.”
Yu Gangan: “…”
Was this brat still having an internal battle?
Yu Gangan wanted to send back a message to comfort him. But, on second thought, she decided to leave it. The more she told him she was OK, the more guiltier he would feel. So, she was going to call him out for a meal in a few days instead. Probably by then, all the problems would have disappeared.
That night, Yu Gangan had dinner with Song Chabai because she had arrived in Beijing.
They were eating hot pot; copper hot pot which was more flavorful than normal hot pot.
A sip of the spicy soup from the copper pot was enough to dissolve all the fatigue experienced from travel. Song Chabai sighed, “I survived.”
Yu Gangan placed some freshly cooked lamb and beef into her bowl, “Eat more.”
Song Chabai chowed down happily, “Of course. Before I arrived, I already decided that I would eat, at least, five plates of meat. These two plates aren’t enough to even fill the gaps between my teeth.”
“If it’s not enough then order more until you’re satisfied.”
“Come, you eat some too,” Song Chabai grabbed two pieces of lamb for Yu Gangan.
It was cold and raining outside. As the two women sat around the simmering hot pot, sipping prune juice with their meal, the vibe was certainly unique.
The two women began to chat and Song Chabai soon asked nosily, “How are things going between you and Fang Zhihan?”
Yu Gangan didn’t know what was going on either.
Friends weren’t as ambiguous as they were and they were far from being strangers.
But, they didn’t seem like a married couple nor a dating couple.
She cleared her throat and asked, “If a man and woman kiss, are they considered a couple?”
Song Chabai chuckled and teased, “Didn’t you guys kiss ages ago?”
“It felt different this time.”
“Even if it felt different, a kiss doesn’t automatically mean you’re a couple, you still need to clarify things. But, since you are already married, I’m not sure what this means…”
As Song Chabai spoke, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and said with a surprised smile, “Are you asking this because you like Fang Zhihan?”
Realizing that she was exposed, Yu Gangan’s cheeks burned up as she complained with a smile, “Song Chabai, you’re a pig!”
[Pff!] Song Chabai glanced at her friend, “Why are you so shy? If you like him, then you like him. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. If I find a man I like, I will definitely take the initiative and flirt with him until he surrenders to my sweet words.”
Yu Gangan picked up her chopsticks and poked the contents of her bowl a few times, “He hasn’t confessed to me nor asked me if I like him. I don’t want to tell him I like him out of the blue. That’s so strange.”
Song Chabai nodded in agreement, “Although I believe that if you like someone you should take the initiative, I still think a man must confess first. Otherwise, it would be too easy for them and they won’t cherish it.”
All of a sudden, Song Chabai looked up at Yu Gangan and her eyes lit up like a sky of bright stars, “I have a way to help you get what you want.”
Yu Gangan looked at her with interest. But, on second thought, she doubted the reliability and shook her head, “No, that’s not necessary.”
Song Chabai winked cheekily, “Listen to me first. If it works, you may even become a mother next year.”
