Yu Xi sat down at the restaurant table with Gu Linhan and Xu Yanshen.
Xu Yanshen said, "I still can't figure it out, how did you two end up together?"
Yu Xi replied, "Went down the wrong path."
Gu Linhan snorted, "Blind for a moment."
"..."
Xu Yanshen continued, "I remember when you were kids, you fought every day. Hey, you're both grown up now. Since you're together, can't you stop bickering? Oh right, I was thinking about going back during the New Year to see my goddaughter; she goes by Hongbao now, right?"
Yu Xi looked at Xu Yanshen, "Why are you here anyway, and you know them too?"
"There's an academic conference going on here, and knowing them... you always need to know a few people who can protect you when you're abroad."
Alright then.
Yu Xi said, "I'll be returning to the country soon too, when will you be going back?"
Xu Yanshen replied, "Probably during the New Year."
While they talked, Gu Linhan kept glancing at Yu Xi.
