Both of them froze slightly. After about half a minute, they spoke at the same time again.
"What is it?"
"Something wrong?"
Qiao Anhao then added," You can say it first..."
Lu Jinnian had continued as well, "You say..."
They both stopped, smiling at their chemistry.
After a while, Lu Jinnian spoke again. "You can go first."
Qiao Anhao was silent for some time. She didn't try to argue with him. Instead, she smiled, placed her hands on the table, and straightening her back, she looked right at him. "Then I'll go first."
Lu Jinnian replied with a faint "Yea" and placed his chopsticks on the table to return her gaze.
As Qiao Anhao stared at his good looks, her throat started to choke. No matter how many times she had repeated the words in her mind, some words just couldn't be spoken out loud. Before she could say anything, sorrow had already enveloped her.
