Jiang Yu has a deep memory of this period.

Back when she was cold and aloof towards Xia Che, and very wary, Xia Che shamelessly struck up a conversation with her by bringing her a big bag of snacks, which led to their meeting.

"But does this only show that Xia Che loves snacks? Does it have anything to do with personal preferences?"

Shen Yanxin said weakly, then shook her head.

She realized that Jiang Yu was in the same situation as herself.

They're both ingrates, what else is there to say?

"Yeah?"

Jiang Yu was stunned.

If eating snacks doesn't count as a preference, then... what does?

For example, she likes to read novels and watch TV during holidays, and her biggest wish is to see the sea. These are all her hobbies.

But if we were to find someone with similar interests to Xia Che...

Jiang Yu was stunned.

At this moment, she could completely understand Shen Yanxin's feelings.

A familiar sense of guilt welled up inside Jiang Yu, rendering her unable to utter a single word of explanation.

Shen Yanxin's situation is slightly better than Jiang Yu's. Unlike herself, she would have died long ago if it weren't for Xia Che.

The word "ungrateful"...

Wouldn't it be most fitting to describe myself?

"Senior sisters, you...you don't actually know, do you?"

Xie Linlin waited anxiously for a long time, hoping to get some useful information about Xia Che, but she was speechless when she saw the two women who were both silent.

Honestly...

Why pretend to be so close to Xia Che when you're not even that familiar with him?

Isn't this a complete waste of your time?

"We know! We know..."

Shen Yanxin's face turned even redder, and she stammered for a long time, unable to squeeze out a coherent sentence.

Jiang Yu couldn't say a word, she didn't even have the will to defend herself, and was filled with guilt.

"You guys... you wouldn't happen to be the kind of people who only know how to enjoy life but don't know how to give, would you?"

Xie Linlin's expression was strange, and she immediately saw through it.

Seeing that the two women remained silent and did not refute her words, Xie Linlin laughed in anger, and for the first time felt a little sympathy for Xia Che.

Although Xia Che was her target, Xie Linlin discovered that he also had many admirable qualities after getting to know him.

He is a very outstanding boy.

And what was the result?

These two people in front of me keep saying that they are very familiar with Xia Che, but they can't even say one of Xia Che's preferences. Aren't they just enjoying themselves without ever thinking about giving anything in return?

Xie Linlin truly felt sorry for Xia Che for being friends with someone like that.

"Alright, I won't get anything useful from continuing to waste time with you guys. I'm starting to feel sorry for my senior. Fine... I'll figure something out myself."

Xie Linlin put away her notebook and pen. Since the two women were no longer of any value to her, she had no intention of wasting any more time with them.

Her attitude changed from friendly to aloof in an instant, and the sweet smile on her face disappeared, replaced by indifference.

Xie Linlin has always treated people who are not of value this way.

"You... how can you change your expression so quickly?"

Jiang Yu was somewhat incredulous.

"I'm just feeling sorry for my senior. Let me give you a piece of advice: if you really consider him a friend, please pay some attention. He's such an outstanding boy, and as his friends, you don't even know about his little hobbies. Who's the worst one here?"

Xie Linlin sneered repeatedly, got up, picked up her handbag and left. "Even without you, I can find out what my senior likes and give him the gift he likes the most because I put my heart into it. But you who claim to be Xia Che's good friends won't do that. That's the biggest difference between me and you."

"Boss, the bill is due."

Xie Linlin casually grabbed her handbag with her back hand, and before leaving, she generously paid for the remaining two women's bills as well.

Although they didn't provide her with any valuable information, at least it was just the cost of a meal, which the eldest daughter of the Xie family could afford.

Even after Xie Linlin left, Jiang Yu remained rooted to the spot, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

"Have we really gone too far?"

Jiang Yu looked at Shen Yanxin. At this moment, she had no mind to care about Xie Linlin's change of expression; she was filled with guilt.

How could she do this?

If it weren't for Xia Che fulfilling all her wishes and rekindling her will to live, she would probably have nothing left now, and would probably be almost a year old by now.

Did I really not treat Xia Che with any sincerity?

Can……

That doesn't make sense.

After serious reflection, Jiang Yu realized that she did indeed like Xia Che, and there was no doubt about that.

But how could they not even bother to find out about Xia Che's hobbies?

Jiang Yu had a vague feeling that something was not quite right, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"It seems... that's really the case."

Shen Yanxin's eyes were red, and from a distance she looked like a rabbit. Her beautiful face was now shrouded in a layer of fragility, making her look pitiful.

"Let's go apologize... let's go apologize to Xia Che."

"good."

The happier the two women were when they arrived, the more disappointed they were now.

She didn't even feel like eating the noodles she hadn't finished.

...

"Burp... That feels so good. After a carb feast, drinking a bottle of ice-cold Coke is definitely the most satisfying thing."

Xia Che held a glass bottle of cola in his hand, stood at the supermarket entrance, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then let out a satisfied burp.

Xia Che then put the empty bottle into the recycling bin next to him, found a chair by the roadside, and sat down.

"They said they had something to tell me and told me not to leave... What are they trying to do?"

Xia Che crossed his legs and stared at the WeChat message from Shen Yanxin on his phone, completely baffled.

When I suggested that I go find them, they disagreed and insisted that I wait here until they came.

Xia Che didn't understand this strange request, but he respected it.

Anyway, there was still some time before the afternoon's match, so he wasn't in a hurry.

With his legs crossed and swaying in the breeze, Xia Che hummed a song, gazing at the distant automatic fountain, enjoying the gentle breeze blowing in his face, feeling very relaxed.

But this air of nonchalance was quickly shattered by the arrival of the two women.

It was smashed to pieces.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Shen Yanxin bowed to herself with her hands clasped straight, and from Xia Che's position, Shen Yanxin's head was almost down to her lower abdomen. This posture was really not very elegant. Xia Che was startled. If others saw this, they would definitely think of that aspect!

He quickly helped her up, asking, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"sorry!"

Before Xia Che could calm Shen Yanxin down, he saw Jiang Yu wheeling herself up to him and bowing again, just like her.

Of course.

Still the same terrible posture...
