When Xu Congfeng heard Ding Linlang mention her childhood friend, he actually cared a bit.
In many cases, a girl's close childhood friend or male bestie could be a role that would raise suspicion and irritation.
Relying on their past rapport with the girl and their so-called nostalgic feelings, they often displayed an obnoxious camaraderie, always giving off an attitude that says, "We've always been like this, and if you have a problem with it, it's your issue."
It was utterly annoying.
Yet, Xu Congfeng didn't have the grounds to criticize Ding Linlang's childhood friend, especially when she hadn't even agreed to share a meal with him.
His goal was to either win over or totally outshine this childhood friend so that Ding Linlang could clearly see the difference between them.
His upbringing and the education he had received since childhood endowed him with this confidence and mettle.
