"These are other people's issues, you shouldn't think too much about it," Lu Yichen spoke. "Besides, they're both adults now, and they can manage their emotional entanglements."
Zhong Niangyao nodded and continued, "Exactly! That's why I didn't tell them what I saw. They're both fresh from a life-and-death separation, and they're in the throes of passionate love. Whatever outsiders say, they won't listen."
"So you gave them a subtle hint, is that it?"
"Mhm." Zhong Niangyao nodded again, "But whether they took it to heart, I have no idea. In any case, I've done what I could within my power. As for the rest, it's no longer my place to interfere."
After finishing their ice cream, the two of them continued to stroll around outside, enjoying the cool autumn breeze and feeling exceptionally comfortable.
In the following days, Lu Yichen found reasons almost every day to ask Zhong Niangyao out on dates.
