I nodded, and after a moment replied, "No wonder so many women like you... You really are willing to consider things from a woman's perspective!"
"Anyway, take it easy and don't be half-hearted at this time!"
"Um."

That night, Chen Jin and I ordered a lot of alcohol, but neither of us drank too much. We talked about our careers, which made us feel a sense of urgency. We both wanted to clear our heads and plan our futures properly.
Even so, we did not find a good way out, and this situation continued for more than half a month.
For the past two weeks, we've met and discussed things every day, but we still haven't figured out what we should do.
