Lu Jia glanced at me briefly before fixing her gaze on Ye Zhi. I saw shock in her eyes, which was expected, because Ye Zhi was indeed a woman who could transcend imagination…
Lu Jia then turned her gaze to me and said, "Michael, it's nice to meet you. Aren't you going to introduce us?"
Ye Zhi stood up, but I was at a loss, because this really tested my speaking skills...
I subconsciously rubbed my shoulders, and just as I was about to speak, Ye Zhi took the initiative to say, "I'll do it myself." After saying that, she turned to Lu Jia and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Zhi, and I'm also from Shanghai... It's quite a coincidence that I have the opportunity to treat a Shanghainese to dinner in Dali."
Lu Jia smiled and replied, "I'm honored too... but I'd like to know, is this meal on Michael's or yours?"
"We'll go ahead."
Lu Jia's face was a little downcast, but she smiled again in an instant and said, "It's for two people, so this meal must be very sumptuous! ... Oh right, I was so eager to eat your food that I forgot to introduce myself... My name is Lu Jia, and I'm Michael's ex-girlfriend... I hope you don't mind being called my ex-girlfriend."
“I don’t mind… In my eyes, Michael is an upright and righteous man. I trust his judgment, so his ex-girlfriend must also be an easy-going and worthwhile woman to date.”
I was once again impressed by Ye Zhi's speaking skills. She not only praised me in front of Lu Jia, but also reminded Lu Jia not to be a difficult person to get along with, and affirmed her own judgment... However, I was a little confused as to whether she was just cooperating with me or if she really thought so.
I turned my gaze to Lu Jia again, and she replied, "Seeing how well you two get along and how harmonious you are... even though I'm not a very easy person to get along with, I have to learn to restrain myself... after all, these days, there aren't many people who can truly be together, and even fewer who can truly stay together until the end... if that's your goal, then people with good intentions should wish you well."
I looked at Ye Zhi with a little nervousness, because Lu Jia's words were already very explicit. If Ye Zhi responded, it would be equivalent to officially confirming our relationship in front of Lu Jia... Although I knew Ye Zhi was willing to protect me, I was still a little worried.
I'm afraid she'll tell Lu Jia, "You've misunderstood, we're just friends," because just now, she said to me, "What if you and I are just friends?" I don't know if this is a warning she's giving me.
...
In a daze, I felt as if I were on a battlefield where there was no smoke of gunpowder, and I was the target. All the guns and cannons were aimed at me, making me run for my life!
