Cheng Su looked at the doubt and disappointment in his eyes, lay down on the bed, embraced him, and said, "Have you heard of the saying 'give up eating for fear of choking'?"
Qi Taiguo looked at her.
"The original meaning of this saying is that because someone choked while eating, they simply gave up eating altogether. It's used as a metaphor for not doing something due to a minor problem or fear of issues. Wouldn't you say that's ridiculous?" Cheng Su said, "In fact, in our lives we will meet many people, and it's not like everyone will stay in your life. A friend you were once very close to might one day turn against you because of interests, betray you—that's human nature. But just because we've been hurt once, does that mean we shouldn't dare to make a new friend or trust another person?"
