Xu Shuang's eyes were like autumn water, her peripheral vision sweeping past Jiang Nian.
The ancients said that a gentleman's friendship is as light as water. Back then she'd been busy cleaning up the mess, and only snapped out of it later, realizing things too late.
Miss it and it's gone.
"Are you busy this afternoon?" she asked, sounding casual. "If you're tired, go back early later."
"It's fine." Jiang Nian didn't really have the concept of being tired. "Let's walk a bit more, you might not come next time."
Hearing that, Xu Shuang instantly felt a little emotionally "broken."
"Why can't I come?"
"Uh, there are a lot of beautiful places in the world," he said. "Usually if I've been to a city, I won't go a second time in the short term."
Xu Shuang froze for a moment, then realized she'd misunderstood. Her face grew a little hot, but she didn't show it.
"The water at West Lake is pretty nice. If I like it, I'll walk it a second time."
"Yeah?"
"Mm."
