"Sorry, Xiangyang."
After sitting down, Lin Xingjie turned around, whispered with a smile in her tone.
"Though you might think I need to change how others see me, I personally feel like things are better this way, because it's quite convenient in many aspects."
Xu Xiangyang felt somewhat helpless and did not retort.

Lin Xingjie as she was now seemed fine. Even though she always appeared cold and expressionless, from another perspective, it was rather cool, and there were probably many of her peers who admired her in private.
"Am I a bit mean? Driving someone away just to have a meal."
"...I think it's not your fault, but rather the problem of the person who, simply after being glanced at by you, didn't ask a thing and just got up and ran."
