When I woke up the next day, I received an email saying that the commission for the case had been cancelled. I thought it was my mother who was causing the problem.

What I said last night was not out of anger. The law does not

The sad thing is that I don't even know what I like. I buried my face in the air-conditioned quilt, thinking about the next step.

Luo Ze came over and knocked on my door and told me that he was going to school.

I almost forgot, today is the first day of school for Luo Ze's senior year of high school.

The scene from last night came to my mind again.

The lemon scented embrace and the warm palms. Thinking about it, my face turned red shamelessly.

I responded quickly

"Do you want me to send you off?"

The person outside the door hesitated.

"No, the head teacher will think I'm in puppy love if he sees it."

Early? Puppy love?

I didn't know how to react for a moment.

I seem to be a little secretly happy... Things have been getting worse and worse lately.

The phone's ringtone suddenly rang, and the words Xu Qian appeared on the lit screen.

Xu Qian is my college classmate in the United States. When I first saw him, the word that came to my mind was Mr. Qian Qian.

Later, because we were assigned the same topic many times, we all fell into the category of people who were not very gregarious, so naturally we felt more sympathy for each other.

"Yu Jiaqi, you don't plan to come back in the future?" Xu Qian's voice sounded a little impatient.

"Um."

"I'm back to China today. Wherever you are, I'll come find you."

"Looking for...looking for me?"

"Well, I have something to say to you."

I hesitated for a while and then agreed. Xu Qian has helped me a lot over the years, so it was only right to treat him to a meal.

I sent a message to Luo Ze, telling him that I might go back later in the evening and asked him to buy some midnight snacks outside.

As night fell in this city, I followed the navigation to Xu Qianding's restaurant.

It's a Hunan restaurant.

When we were in the United States, we often went to Hunan restaurants in Chinatown.

When I walked into the antique-decorated restaurant, I saw Xu Qian waving at me, and I walked towards him with a smile.

We exchanged casual greetings and then started to eat quietly. Xu Qian didn't like to talk much while eating, but I was lazy to talk. When we were in the United States, the only people who made any noise during our meal were the ones at the front waiting for the food.

Time, now the food is ready as soon as I come.

When we were almost done eating, Xu Qian seemed to have something to say to me but kept hesitating.

I thought that he probably wanted to persuade my mother and I to admit our mistake and return to the United States to complete our final year of studies.

I smiled at Xu Qian and said to him with a helpless tone: "Law studies are not the only path I can take. Since I have made up my mind, I still hope you will support me."

He hesitated for a moment and nodded to me thoughtfully.

"Do you remember that you still have a USB flash drive for a subject? Do you still have it? If you still have it, can you give it to me?"

I thought for a while and quickly answered: "Of course, the two of us did it together originally. Now I don't learn it anymore. It would be a waste if I put it here. But I will leave it at home and you can pick it up tomorrow."

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Then you go home with me and get it."

Xu Qian nodded. Xu Qian took my car and came to my house. I made a cup of coffee and put it on the table in the living room, then went to the room to look for the USB flash drive.

Xu Qian's voice suddenly sounded in the living room.

"Yu Jiaqi, do you have someone you like?"

It's strange, Xu Qian doesn't seem like someone who would ask such gossipy questions.

"You have been by my side for so many years. Have you ever discovered who I liked?" I took out the USB flash drive that had accumulated some dust from the drawer, walked to the living room and handed it to him.

Xu Qian didn't answer, but raised his head and looked at me seriously.

"Yu Jiaqi, I like you, please be my girlfriend.

I was panicked, embarrassed, nervous, and I had already missed the age when I could cruelly push away someone I didn’t like, and what’s more, the person in front of me was a friend who had been with me for a long time in a foreign country.

Even if I really have no feelings for him at all, I still have to think twice before choosing the most tactful way to reject him.

Suddenly, I felt trapped all over my body. Unlike the lemon-scented hug last night, Xu Qian's hug had a faint cologne smell.

"Yu Jiaqi, give me a chance."

Suddenly there was the sound of the door lock being unlocked outside. I looked out the door in surprise, and happened to look at Luo Ze with an annoyed look. I was so frightened that I quickly pushed Xu Qian away.

No, what am I recommending... Even if Xu Qian is really my boyfriend, it is not reasonable for my boyfriend and I to hug each other at my house. It is just an inexplicable guilty conscience.

Xu Qian also looked out the door, and Luo Ze's eyes skipped me and looked directly at Xu Qian.

"you?"

"My brother." I answered quickly.

Xu Qian nodded, "You can think about it and give me a reply later."

I said hello to him.

Luo Ze changed his shoes and walked in expressionlessly, then walked into the room and locked the door.
