Chapter 188: A good relationship is just like this.

"Song Lili, do you dare say you have no romantic feelings for him?"

...

Song Lili’s steps hesitated for a moment, then she continued forward. The scent of cumin, pepper, salt, and charcoal-grilled skewers from a barbecue stall wafted ahead.

She walked into the stall first, with Lu Ziqing following in her footsteps.

"How many?"

"Two."

"Right this way, please. Is this folding table okay?"

"Yes, thank you."

"The skewers are in the fridge; pick them yourself. Just hand them to the chef once you’re done choosing."

"Okay."

Song Lili grabbed a basket and selected some, then handed it to Lu Ziqing, "Brother Lu, see what you’d like to eat!"

Lu Ziqing took the basket, carelessly picked a few skewers, and handed them to the chef. He sat down opposite Song Lili. "Is the question that hard to answer?"

"Not at all."

Song Lili smiled faintly, "I like him. I’ve liked him since we were young. With someone like him – good background, good upbringing, good looks, good build, and when he is... good to you alone, can any woman resist?"

...

The answer was clear in Lu Ziqing’s heart, but actually hearing Song Lili say it out loud still pricked at his heart.

Youth...

When he had met her, she was also young...

He had thought that their meeting was early enough, yet he hadn’t expected someone else had known her many years before he did.

In this half-life of his, Lu Ziqing had fought many battles, controlling even the toughest situations, but when it came to emotions... he really didn’t know where to begin.

He had no soldiers to command, no advisors to consult.

"Even after all that has happened... I still haven’t forgotten the feeling of liking him. That feeling is probably truly embedded in my heart, and I don’t know how long it will take for me to forget."

Song Lili confessed frankly.

"Why... do you want to forget?"

"He stands too high, and for a time, I couldn’t reach him. Besides... being with him, I feel exhausted."

...

"I believe a good relationship doesn’t need both people to be exceptionally outstanding. If one person is already spent just trying to keep up with the other’s pace, how can such a relationship be balanced?"

Listening to Song Lili’s words, Lu Ziqing found it hard to imagine they were coming from the mouth of a twenty-year-old girl.

"So, what do you think a good relationship should be like?"

Lu Ziqing had felt like his heart was being pierced to death, but hearing Song Lili’s following words, it was as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Here, these skewers are ready. Eat up, and do you want something to drink?"

"Two cans of beer."

The waiter brought two cans of beer, and Song Lili opened them, clinked her can against Lu Ziqing’s, and said,

"Just like this, being able to drink beer and eat barbecue at a roadside stall without a care in the world, without having to ponder over national affairs, and just dumbly watching the empty streets together is pretty good."

...

Lu Ziqing was momentarily stunned. What did Song Lili mean by that?

The restless heart of this rough man began to race a little too fast.

"Brother Lu, I’m just making an analogy, don’t get the wrong idea."

Song Lili said with a light chuckle as a reminder.

In fact, for such a long time, she hadn’t understood why Lu Ziqing was so kind to her, but now she could somewhat sense his feelings.

After noticing them, she didn’t really want to confront them head-on...
