"Mai Fu is serious by nature and cautious about relationships. She may not even be interested in you."

"I'll make her interested in me." His tone was certain, more resolute than ever.

Song Ningyuan's heart gave a sudden jolt. "Are you really going to disregard our friendship and stubbornly go your own way?"

His hand paused as he opened the fridge. "How am I disregarding it?" he asked.

"For one thing, there's Huang Wei. She won't agree to this either. And then there's Tian En. She's Tian En's ex-girlfriend..."

Su Keyang poured himself a glass of ice water and took a small sip without answering.

"Keyang!" Song Ningyuan was getting anxious. "Just leave her alone, for the sake of our friendship and for Tian En. Tian En met her before you did, after all."

"You're wrong. I met her first!"

Song Ningyuan froze. "What?"

He drained the glass, then smashed it hard against the floor. Glass scattered everywhere.

Amid the crash, Song Ningyuan heard him say hoarsely, "I've been in love with her since forever, damn it!"
