In the three years they were together, it seemed like they had never been so blatant.
When we saw each other across a sea of people in the dining hall, we were bumped into the arms by fellow diners around us and teased us, so we just smiled and covered it up...
"The meal is ready." Lin Peiyang pushed a golden baked rice and a can of Coke in front of Xu Xu.
"Thank you." Xu Xu pried open the ring and took a big gulp.
Lin Peiyang's outstretched hands stayed for a while and then quickly retracted them, "You girls... Can't open cans?"
"We girls?" Xu Xu smiled, "Is she your girlfriend?"
He scratched his head in embarrassment, neither confirming nor denying, just lowering his head and smiling, the love in his eyes shining under the dark yellow chandelier in the dining hall.
She was too familiar with the look in his eyes, which was exactly the same as the look in his eyes when he looked at her five years ago. She had also lived in this look for many years.
The way you like it will never change.
"In your eyes, girlfriends are equal to all girls. She can't open a can because you can help her. If one day you are no longer with her, she will have to learn to open a can by herself." Xu Xu answered this question seriously.
The person opposite didn't seem to notice the change in her tone or attitude at all. They were noncommittal, smiling and concentrating on baking rice. Then he remembered something and took out a tissue and handed it to Xu Xu.
Xu Xu stared at the pale napkin and noticed that his nails were as neatly manicured as ever.
As always, haven't you forgotten everything?
Xu Xu smiled and held up the tissue that was hot from holding it for a long time.
"I do," she said.
Intent: Ignorant girls continue to grow in studies and love, and move towards a wider world.
