Seeing how insistent she was, Wen Chao said truthfully, “I’ve always thought that Jin Yan liked you. It seems like I’ve been overthinking it.”

Xia Ning looked at Wen Yu.”Why do you think so?”

Wen Yu was really curious now. Since when was she so stubborn about such things?

“Because he’s so good to you and the way he looks at you is like a man expressing his love for a woman.” Wen Chao thought for a moment and said,”for example, Zheng Ziming has been by your side for so many years, but has he ever cooked a meal for you? It may be a small matter, but Jin Yan can do it. Besides, he’s very considerate of your tastes and knows clearly what you like and what you don ‘t. So, I’m wondering if he likes you. ”

“Is that so?” Xia Ning nodded and put down her chopsticks. She looked at Wen Yu and asked,”are you done eating?”

“Eh?” Wen Xuxu was surprised at how quickly she changed the topic. She mumbled and nodded.”Yes.”

“Then let’s go. I’ll take you to eat dessert.” She then waved her hand for the waiter to come over and pay the bill.

As Wen Yu looked at Xia Ning’s cold expression, he began to wonder what had happened during this period of time. She seemed to be very cold to Jin Yan this time.

She had a feeling that she suddenly said she was leaving because she didn’t want to eat in the same space as a certain someone.

Was she angry that he was eating with another woman, or did she hate him? She felt that the latter was more likely because she knew that Astria had no romantic feelings for Jin Yan.

After paying the bill, Xia Ning and Wen Yu left the restaurant.

On the other side, the man who had just finished ordering suddenly looked at the door and vaguely saw a familiar figure, but he was not sure.

“What are you looking at?” Li Xiao looked at the man beside her and followed his line of sight. There was no one at the empty door.

Jin Yan retracted his gaze and said indifferently,””No, it’s just a conditioned reflex.”

“Thank you for coming out for dinner with me today. I’ve been in S city for so long, but I haven’t had a chance to eat the special dishes here.” Li Xiao hugged Jin Yan’s arm and smiled.

Jin Yan looked at her with a gentle expression on his face. He reached out and brushed away the loose strands of hair on her forehead.”If you like it, I’ll accompany you out for dinner every day.”

“No, I still prefer your cooking.” Li Xiao looked at Jin Yan and said coquettishly,”when are you going to make me another meal?”

“I’ll make it whenever you want to eat. ” Jin Yan said gently.

Li Xiao leaned on his arm, her face full of happiness.”You’re so good to me.”

Jin Yan looked at Li Xiao’s face and smiled.”Is this what you call ‘good’?”

“Yes.” Li Xiao answered directly.

Jin Yan did not say anything. His gaze fell on the direction of the door, and his eyes were deep.

The nights at the end of August were not very hot, and there were many people on the streets at night. The two of them were on their way to the dessert shop.

Wen Yu couldn’t help but ask Xia Ning,”do you have a conflict with Jin Yan?!” Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left without even saying goodbye. No matter how much she hated her classmate, she wouldn’t have ignored Jin Yan.

Xia Ning looked at Wen Yu and did not answer. Instead, she asked,”Tell me, is there no pure friendship between men and women in this world?”

“There should be, but as time passes, friendship may become love, and love may also become friendship.” Wen Chao replied. For example, Zheng Ziming’s feelings for Astria should be more than friendship. They were not yet lovers.

Xia Ning raised her eyebrows.”Really?”

“Asteria, did Jin Yan confess to you?” Wen Chao asked subconsciously.

Xia Ning shook her head.”I wish that was the case.” She suddenly looked at Wen Yu.”There’s something you might not have noticed. Riemann used to be Jin Yan’s girlfriend.”
