Chen Lu looked at Yuan Jun’s happy expression, telling herself that this time, like before, he was just playing around… but her heart couldn’t help but ache.
Childhood Friends 2
Xia Bing didn’t know if Cheng Yuan Jun was truly stupid or just pretending, as even she could see that Chen Lu really liked him…
The three chatted for a while, and then Cheng Yuan Jun stood up, saying he had something to do, and pulled Xia Bing away.
Xia Bing caught the fleeting jealousy in Chen Lu’s eyes.
After leaving the shop, Xia Bing no longer gave Yuan Jun face, “We don’t have anything to do.”
“I’ve known Chen Lu for over twenty years, what else is there to say.” He didn’t care, saying of course accompanying his girlfriend was more important.
“She likes you,” Xia Bing said directly, looking straight at him, “You can’t not know, right? Or are you playing dumb?”
“I only have the relationship of a childhood friend with her. If I truly liked her, I would have pursued her long ago. I don’t want to break that paper, in case we can’t even be friends… Women care about saving face…”
“Don’t men care about face too?” Xia Bing immediately retorted, “But you’re really sly, beating around the bush with her. If you really don’t like her, you should hint at it. After all, a woman’s youth is limited…”
“Isn’t a man’s youth just as short?” He didn’t realize he never clearly hinted at anything and didn’t hide his playboy nature in front of Chen Lu.
“Men are flowers at thirty-one, women are tofu dregs at thirty, can they be the same? Besides, it’s fine for a young woman to find an older man, but if a woman is older, finding a younger man is impossible…” Talking about gender equality, when has gender ever been equal? Even from salary perspectives, entering the same company, men’s salaries are higher than women’s… Xia Bing lazily responded.
“How did we get to this topic? Now with feminism everywhere, hen-pecked husbands are common, I’d better not argue, afraid of being bombarded…” Yuan Jun laughed and surrendered.
