"I've suddenly decided I don't want to date anymore," Xie Yanzhi said. "Like you said, it's pointless and just a waste of time."
"Absolutely right!" Lu Nianxi said. "Dating is such a hassle... But can you really let go?"
"I've let go," Xie Yanzhi said. "There's nothing I can't let go of."
"So, it seems you weren't that into that girl after all."
"Maybe," Xie Yanzhi said, lying for her peace of mind, "So, we should just focus on studying, okay?"
"Are you really... not that into her? Can you let go?" Lu Nianxi started blaming herself again, feeling she was too selfish. "You don't have to worry too much about my feelings..."
"If I don't worry about your feelings, whose should I worry about?" Xie Yanzhi said. "No one is as important as you."
Lu Nianxi felt a little smug, as if she had won over the girl Xie Yanzhi secretly liked.
Though she didn't quite understand where her strange sense of victory came from.
Besides, thinking like this seemed a bit unethical.
