Midnight Diner ~ Steakhouse

Volume 83 Recap: Quiet but not silent! (Guess! The next four chapters!) Me: Of course not! I wanted to tell you both! About my current situation and my family's situation! My family isn't doing well financially! So besides work, I don't have the mental energy for anything else! Like finding a partner... or self-improvement. The most important point... I have trauma regarding relationships with a partner! Xiao Rui didn't wait for me to finish: What's the meaning of you telling us all this? Xiao Pei looked equally confused: Yeah! Why are you telling us? Maybe I'm too narcissistic! Or maybe I'm flattering myself! What I want to tell you both is... Whether or not you have any feelings for me... I hope you don't like me! Because it won't lead to happiness! And I don't have the headspace for it right now! Xiao Rui: Ha! You're overthinking it! How could I possibly like you? We're too far apart in age (10 years)! Without waiting for me to speak... Xiao Rui continued: It's too late! I have something to do! I'm heading home! Xiao Pei chimed in after Xiao Rui: That's right! I don't have any feelings for you either? What gave you that confidence? Heh heh... Xiao Pei: I asked you to get late-night snacks together because I was hungry and wanted company, I'm sorry if I made you misunderstand... Really sorry! Xiao Pei: I have a curfew at home, so I'm heading home now! The two left in a hurry... I hope they understood what I said! OS: It's good I told them first. Maybe I was just assuming? They probably didn't mean anything by it! To be continued...
