"What do you want to eat?" he asked.

Fu Fanben wanted to say whatever he wanted, but he still took the words to his mouth. He flipped them casually and ordered two dishes.

Wu Xiao added two more dishes and a soup, and finally added another dessert.

The waiter said and left after waiting.

Fu Fan and Wu Xiao were all left in the quiet booth.

She felt... even more uncomfortable.

She knew that she would meet Wu Xiao sooner or later. She felt that she was thinking very clearly last night, but she hurt him at the end, so at this moment, she didn't know how to speak.

In the end, Wu Xiao took the lead in breaking the silence.

"You haven't replied to my WeChat."

Fu Fan suddenly looked up: "I..."

"Don't be nervous," he curled his lips slightly, and Wu Xiao smiled lightly, "I don't mean to blame you. Even if you promised to have dinner together that day, you won't be able to eat in the end. I'll have to go on a business trip and I'm only back yesterday."

When I came back, I also witnessed her joy with my own eyes and ended my persistence for so many years.

Fu Fan moved his lips and said softly after a while: "I'm sorry."

Wu Xiao didn't say anything, but just looked at her for a moment. Until he noticed her unnatural avoidance, he finally spoke again: "What are you sorry? I'm sorry I didn't reply to WeChat, or I'm sorry... the joke bet back then?"

His voice was heavy and low at the same time, like... overflowing from deep inside his throat, and his speech was very slow.

Fu Fan's fingers were still tucked together, and her lips were still bitten by her teeth. This was her little move, and she would always be like this when she was uncomfortable or didn't want to face it.

Suddenly, she thought of the conversation with Song Sisi yesterday, and the words she said before Fu Hanjing left this morning.

It shouldn't be...just talk.

My thoughts moved slightly, and I took a deep breath without any investigation. Fu Fan raised his eyes and met Wu Xiao's gaze: "Everything, I owe you a sorry, I owe you an explanation, I..."

"Fu Fan, don't you owe me anything."

Words are blocked.

Fu Fan stared at Wu Xiao in a daze, but didn't react for a moment.

Wu Xiao looked at her, and a relaxed smile from the bottom of his heart spilled out from the corner of his mouth: "I'm serious, you don't owe me anything, don't feel guilty all the time, don't entangle yourself in that vicious circle."

"I……"

"I don't deny that when I heard those 'truths' and you never gave me an explanation, I was really angry and even felt that I shouldn't forgive you."

The nerves all over her body seemed to be tense, and Fu Fan bit her lip: "I'm sorry..."

Wu Xiao smiled and shook his head: "When I was too proud and too easy to be unwilling to accept it. After waiting for a long time, I will find that those unwillingness to think that I can't let go have actually faded and people will grow up."

He looked at her, and had the urge to hug her again, or... carefully hold a finger like he did back then.

But, it's just this impulse.

He continued: "I didn't blame you a long time ago, but if you have to say sorry, then I accept it. After accepting it, we are still classmates and friends."

Fu Fan was stunned again.

"Why, don't you want to? Or do you think I'm not qualified?" Wu Xiao glanced at her and laughed and joked.

Fu Fan suddenly came back to his senses and explained subconsciously: "No! I don't mean that, I just... just..."

Wu Xiao deliberately misinterpreted her meaning: "If you feel sorry for your guilt, this... would you please?"

"Okay, I'll treat you!" Fu Fan nodded without thinking, as if he was afraid that he would be taken first if he nodded too late. "Do you want to click another one?"

In the last sentence, her tone became lighter unknowingly, and a faint smile appeared between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Wu Xiao always knew that in fact... Fu Fan is kind and simple, and has never been a arrogant and bad daughter.

"Fu Fan."

"ah?"

The knot in my heart that had been entangled for many years was finally completely untied, and the fog in my heart dissipated. Wu Xiao chuckled lightly, his voice was very soft, but every word came from the heart: "I wish you happiness."

This is a girl he liked and loved for many years. He is not the right person she is, and he cannot accompany her by her side. Since she has someone she loves and that person also loves her for many years and has protected her for many years. Naturally...I hope she is safe and happy.

Always happy.
