I transmigrated into a book, becoming a money-grubbing relative in the female lead's family.
My money-grubbing mother, through moral manipulation, made me join the male lead's company...
Ren Baiping's words helped Cheng Qicai ease some of her inner turmoil.
Indeed, who hasn't been attracted to a sunny, cheerful person? If we always lived in the realm of fleeting, accidental feelings, then no one would ever fall in love.
"So what do you think? Are we better suited to be friends or lovers?" Ren Baiping's sudden question startled Cheng Qicai.
She remained silent for a long time, and finally murmured, "...I don't know."
Cheng Qicai knew that Ren Baiping was a good match for her, and she got along well with him, but she still felt that there was something missing in their relationship.
She couldn't explain how to answer the question either.
She said shyly, "I'm sorry..."
Ren Baiping didn't seem to mind. He said, "It's nothing. You can't force feelings. We can be friends first, and maybe feelings will come naturally."
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"It's nothing, I think it's nice to be friends with you."
Ren Baiping's understanding made Cheng Qicai even more embarrassed.
She said, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner. You can pick whatever you like. Are there any good restaurants around your school?"
"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony," Ren Baiping said. "There's a pretty good Thai restaurant outside our school, what do you think?"
"sure!"
"It's still early, shall we walk around the school?"
Cheng Qicai nodded: "Okay."
The two strolled around the school for a while, and it must be said that there were many vibrant college students.
Cheng Qicai couldn't help but sigh, "There are so many pretty female students in school, why did you agree to go on a blind date with me? Why didn't you just find one directly?"
"It's not that simple. If that's the case, then the streets are full of men, and you're the one who's here for a blind date. Besides, if you say that, I'll think you're rejecting my question."
Ren Baiping's words do make some sense.
