This sentence reached An Yuanyao's ears, and she immediately froze in her seat, her eyes widening subconsciously, obviously not expecting that the other party would ask such a question.
For some reason, she suddenly had the courage not to look at him.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at the dinner plate in front of him.
The hand holding the chopsticks, as if uneasy, picked up a piece of green vegetables, but did not put it into his mouth.
"Why are you asking me this suddenly..."
"You know it too."
Li Wanran continued.
"Didn't I say that I like him? As a good friend, I want to hear your evaluation of him."
"..."
Upon hearing Li Wanran's words, An Yuanyao didn't know what to say.
Although he looks young, the soul inside his body comes from a later era after all. Li Wanran knows how to remind the other party tactfully.
It seems like a simple question, but the underlying meaning is indeed informing the other party.
She likes Liu Changqing.
According to An Yuanyao's character, if she made it clear that she would kill him with her own hands, even if he had the slightest hint of liking her.
However, Li Wanran never imagined that An Yuanyao would have a dream about the future that night.
In the dream, I saw myself many years later, and also saw the scene of a happy marriage and a happy family.
What's more... I met the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.
That...man named Liu Changqing.
Because she had such a dream, An Yuanyao was very confused.
If we say that the first time he met Liu Changqing was when he was surrounded by gangsters, the other party stepped forward and rescued him.
At that time, if it was just the beginning of a good impression, I felt even more grateful.
But before the two of them had any contact, they learned from their friends that the person they liked was Liu Changqing.
This undoubtedly extinguished the fire that was about to ignite, and also buried the possibility between the two.
But along with that dream... no, it can't be said to be a dream, more like a prediction of the future.
In the future, she saw herself as an adult.
I saw my children.
happy family.
And...the husband who hurts me.
Although the process was unclear, An Yuanyao had already realized that the man named Liu Changqing would be with her for the rest of her life.
In other words, although Li Wanran likes each other now, the two did not get together in the end.
As for me, I married the other person and had children without knowing it.
If she didn't know this at the beginning, An Yuanyao would slowly forget about the other party as time goes by.
Forget the young man who stood up when he was surrounded.
Forget about the boy who looked unhappy after being punished by his teacher in the office.
Forget the boy who helped him pick up the exercise book that fell on the ground and send it back to class...
Forget about him...
After being silent for a long time, An Yuanyao just held her chopsticks blankly.
Chopsticks holding green vegetables.
Staring at the dinner plate.
As if taking a deep breath, the chest rose and fell faster, and soon became even again.
The slightly lowered head was raised at this moment.
He looked at the girl sitting directly opposite him.
We have been close friends since childhood.
Looking at the other person's expression that was the same as usual, but different...
Open your mouth and ask something like this.
"Do you...really like him?"
"..."
He didn't expect An Yuanyao to ask such a question. The moment Li Wanran heard these words, he was briefly stunned.
After coming to his senses, he responded without thinking.
"Of course I like it, I..."
"Then what do you like about him? You obviously hated him very much at the beginning and complained to me more than once. Why did you suddenly like him?"
The answer was interrupted by An Yuanyao.
Li Wanran looked at An Yuanyao, who had suppressed her smile and had a serious face. For a moment, it was as if the cassette had been jammed and she was speechless.
These words are not like what the other party can say.
Li Wanran had rarely been refuted like this by the other party, so for a moment she didn't know how to reply to the other party's question.
It was impossible to tell the other person that he came from the future world.
Because she knew who Liu Changqing was and the regret she had missed, she would be so proactive after doing it again.
So...
Looking at An Yuanyao, Li Wanran's expression did not change at all.
Just reply calmly.
"If you like it, you just like it. There are not so many reasons why."
"Then I like it too."
"..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Wanran was completely speechless.
As if in shock, his eyes widened uncontrollably.
Obviously they have not had much contact with each other, why...
Why did she...
An Yuanyao mustered up the courage to say such words.
She didn't want to watch her future husband get close to another woman when the outcome was already decided.
Even if that person is your best friend.
The best... bestie.
"..."
"..."
The two were silent.
Just looking at each other like this, no one was the first to break the silence.
The noise around them reached their ears, but because of those words just now, they could no longer hear other sounds in their world.
In their eyes, only each other was left.
Until not far away, the dining table where Liu Changqing was sitting...
A girl's voice came.
At this time, the two people stopped looking at each other and turned their attention to where Liu Changqing was.
Looking at...
Qin Ruoliu came to Liu Changqing's dining table with the meat buns. After hesitating for a while, he handed over the meat buns wrapped in a transparent plastic bag.
Looking at his face as he looked over, he said.
"This...I haven't moved yet because I'm too full and can't eat anymore..."
"What do you think I am? A trash can?"
"No, it's just...it's such a pity to lose it..."
Upon hearing Liu Changqing's response, Qin Ruoliu was obviously worried that the other party would misunderstand something, so he quickly explained.
Liu Changqing only said this symbolically. In fact, the moment the other party handed it over, his hand was ready to take it.
That's Roujiamo! There is diced meat in it!
For Liu Changqing, who had very little food expenses every day, this was an incredible windfall.
Without saying anything else, Liu Changqing took the Roujiamo that the other party handed him.
Open the scrap belt and take a big bite.
Cheeks puffed up.
"I'll explain in advance that I only eat because I can't bear to waste food. Don't think I'm greedy."
"..."
"Thanks!"
Looking at Liu Changqing eating big mouthfuls, the eyes hidden under the lenses turned into the shape of crescent moons.
Qin Ruoliu was very happy.
I don't know why, but talking to each other is always so interesting.
It's always... so easy.
Not far away, Li Wanran and An Yuanyao took this scene into their eyes.
The two of them clenched their hands at the same time.
It was as if someone sneaked away when the two were facing each other head-on.
