“This book has been very well-received in the market. The last standalone book was also good, with readers sending emails. They first thought someone was writing under your name, but found it broke through your previous work. They also greatly praised ‘Twelve’…” Hai Jun was very thankful for Xia Bing’s help.
Xia Bing laughed, “You should thank me. I helped you marry a beautiful woman, after all…”
The three of them eventually left in Hai Jun’s car to eat.
Snowflakes began to fall, and Yiyi suggested having hot pot.
“Now your wish has come true. The sky was clear just moments ago, and now it’s snowing…” Yiyi looked at the falling snow, “Xia Bing, if you stop writing books, you could set up a stall and not starve…”
Xia Bing rolled her eyes, “You think I’m some fortune-telling beggar?” The snow was falling, and soon it would be a full snowfall. She loved that vast whiteness.
Yiyi talked about her engagement in January, asking Xia Bing to come early…
“Last time, Little Yu only made you drink as punishment. This time, if you don’t bring a date…” Yiyi gave a mischievous smile.
“Hai Jun, look at your woman. She’s smiling so lewdly. You better think carefully. This lady isn’t easy to handle…” Xia Bing gave a scared smile, moving from the middle of the back seat to behind Hai Jun.
Yiyi dramatically said, “After being friends for over a decade, I never thought you’d be like this. Betraying our friendship for a man. Could it be you still can’t forget Hai Jun? In that case, I’ll have to…”
“Give him up!” Xia Bing laughed.
Yiyi spat, “Of course I’m going to fall out with you for Hai Jun. There’s a saying: I’ll stab someone in the sides for a friend, but stab a friend for a lover…”
Xia Bing hugged herself, “Hai Jun, see? This woman would do anything for you. You must treat her well. I want to save my own life, so take care…”
Coming Back
Hai Jun laughed, watching their playful banter. The car was filled with laughter.
“This place is good. Hai Jun and I came here a few days ago…”
The three of them sat around the table, enjoying their meal.
Outside, the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
