When she was little, she didn't think much about it, but as she grew older, her situation became increasingly awkward—
she couldn't seamlessly fit in with the girls, nor could she freely buddy up with the boys, arms slung over shoulders like close brothers.
She didn't like dwelling on these things; it always felt pretentious. She didn't want to tell her parents that apart from Li Li, she had no other friends, because saying it made no difference—friends aren't something you can conjure up just by talking about them.
Su Man and Lu Yuwen walked back.
She asked, "Just now when I heard you talking to my parents about the branch store, is coming to Shanghai all about handling that?"
Lu Yuwen glanced at her and replied, "Yes, but also no."
"Why the mystery?" Su Man couldn't help but smile. "If there's anything you need help with, make sure to let us know. Our family will do everything we can to assist you."
