Ye Xi had not expected Qiao Zhiyi to invite her for dinner with Han Ling.
What was this all about?
Han Ling understood Qiao Zhiyi's intention, hid his disappointment, and said to Ye Xi, "We haven't seen each other for many years. The last time we had dinner together was back in high school."
Ye Xi laughed, "You mean lining up for food and then finding any place to sit in the cafeteria. You call that having dinner together."
Han Ling said with a smile, "No matter where it was, this time we can sit down and have a good chat."
"Indeed. There will be many more opportunities like this in the future."
With Ye Xi present, Qiao Zhiyi felt less anxious and uncomfortable.
They chose a hot pot restaurant, seated near the window, ordered plenty of dishes, and enjoyed the steaming hot pot, gradually opening up under the influence of other diners' moods.
They avoided discussing Qiao Zhiyi's divorce and instead reminisced about some funny incidents from their school days.
