"So that's why you plan to go back early?"
He sat back down again: "What will happen if I don't go back?"
Mu Jiang sat next to him. On the surface, he was an arrogant boy who looked down on everyone, but in fact he was so fragile that he could not withstand any emotional impact.
"Then you should know the truth!" Ouyang said, "Come with me." She couldn't believe that his friend would really treat their friendship like this. There must be some secret.
The two of them arrived at the supermarket entrance. The boy was still sorting the new goods as usual. With other helpers in the supermarket, he was not so busy.
Across from the supermarket was a restaurant. Ouyang asked Mu Jiang to go down and wait for her next door.

Later, however, Mu Jiang and his friend didn't continue their previous relationship, and they gradually drifted apart. Mu Jiang didn't feel any regrets, because he had learned a lesson: friends aren't meant to be companions; you should let go and let them do what they want.
