Chapter 36 Round 2_2

Immersed in his thoughts, the young man snapped back to reality, realizing his friend had stopped speaking as if waiting for his response.

"My mindset has always been good, Mr. Gongsun. I'm naturally cheerful."

That was a lie.

"Throwing around those flimsy lies again, just like this afternoon."

This afternoon's lie...

Was it the one about the dream during our chat at the fast-food restaurant?

It had only been a few hours ago, yet it now seemed like a century had passed.

"You know, if I don't tell some meaningless lies every now and then, I can't settle down."

He heard his friend's laughter.

"With Ah Ce back to his usual self, I can rest easy."

The conversation paused there.
