He was only using Fu Yan, but Fu Yan knew nothing about it.

Cheng Ke asked, "So, do you like him or not?"

Xiao Xin: "I felt an impulse."

Cheng Ai looked shocked. "That's it then, Brother Xin, stop being so conflicted. Please, just be with me! Your happy life together is better than anything else."

"But I can't be with him..."

"Why not?"

Why not?

Cheng Ke and Cheng Ai spoke in unison.

Xiao Xin looked embarrassed: "It involves privacy, so I can't tell you."

Cheng Ke: "..."

Seeing their disgusted expressions, Xiao Xin took a sip of coffee and said nonchalantly, "So what if we like each other? It's not like we have to be together just because we like each other..."

He liked He Yunzhou so much back then, but they still didn't end up together, did they?

Cheng Ke was practically breaking her young heart with worry.

"Where have you progressed to now?" Cheng Ke asked.

"It's reached the point of a five-day Cold War."

"..."

Cheng Ai finally got serious and asked earnestly, "So what are your plans now?"

Xiao Xin: "I don't want to develop a further relationship with him, but I also don't want to make things too awkward."

Cheng Ai gave him a thumbs up: "Great, you're really awesome."

Xiao Xin looked frustrated: "But I don't know what to do."

"Don't know how to sever ties with him?" Cheng Ai asked with a teasing smile.

Xiao Xin nodded: "I guess so, that's why I thought of asking you guys for help."

Cheng Ke remained silent; he wouldn't advise on separation rather than reconciliation.

Cheng Ai thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she snapped her fingers: "I've got it!"

Cheng Ke looked at him with a mischievous glint in her eye and glanced at him suspiciously: "What kind of wicked idea have you come up with this time?"
