"I haven't asked Xiaoman about it yet; I took the initiative to leave Shen Zichu to talk with her, and now I'm too scared to contact her, afraid she will be angry.
I don't know if Shen Zichu will grasp this opportunity this time."
Mu Lan lowered her eyes, genuinely worried about Gu Xiaoman.
Huo Tingxiao reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head, softly saying,
"Anyway, Gu Xiaoman definitely won't suffer a loss, don't worry."
Mu Lan looked up, giving a slight hum.
"Who says so? In love, whoever falls first is at a disadvantage; Gu Xiaoman took a liking to Shen Zichu early on and even pursued him. If they break up this time, she might..."
The words "be alone forever" made Mu Lan shudder at the thought.
But knowing Gu Xiaoman too well, her first love wounded her once; she had only just managed to regain her composure to find Shen Zichu, another hurt would be too much even for a heart of steel.
