We went to a small restaurant near the college and Ye Shiwen ordered a table full of food. Ye Shiwen and Zhang Yan couldn’t keep their hands off each other the whole time and it made me feel incredibly awkward.

“Why don’t we invite Dali here too?” I suggested.

“Sure, why not?” nodded Ye Shiwen. “We can’t possibly finish all the food here anyway.”

I called Dali and told him Ye Shiwen was going to treat us to a meal. He quickly responded, “Will Mengmeng be there too?”

I wanted to do anything I could to help him as a friend, so I asked Zhang Yan, “Can you invite Xia Mengmeng too?”

“Sure, I’ll call her! She should be in the dorm right now.”

Zhang Yan picked up her phone and spoke a few words before hanging up. She then turned to me and snorted, “The first thing she asked was whether Song Yang is here.”

The second she told her that I was already here, she agreed to come right away.

I sighed. I must find a chance to clarify this misunderstanding!

After...
