Feng Feng, upon hearing she had to pay, quickly buried her head and skillfully ate the meat.
Yan Shan watched the three of them bicker and then smiled faintly.
Feng Qishi happened to see Yan Shan chuckling and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's been a long time since I've eaten with people your age. I'm quite happy," Yan Shan said plainly.
"What's so happy about that?" Feng Qishi mumbled and continued eating.
Feng Feng stopped cutting her meat and looked at Feng Qishi, saying, "Brother, don't you dislike interacting with outsiders? You don't make friends at school. May I ask," she glanced cautiously at Mu Anxiao and Yan Shan, "how did you get to know them?"
"Him," Feng Qishi nodded towards Yan Shan, "is Shi Momo's ex-boyfriend. We only officially spoke today, though we saw each other last night, but didn't talk."
Feng Feng hadn't expected to hear such explosive news. She put down her knife and fork, her eyes wide as she looked at Yan Shan and swallowed. "How long have you been broken up?"
"This..."
"It's okay, I won't tell anyone else," Feng Feng raised an eyebrow.
"A month. I just never let go. If it weren't for today," Yan Shan hesitated, glancing at Mu Anxiao, who was solely focused on eating meat, "I truly wouldn't have been able to move past this relationship."
"Couldn't move past it?" Feng Feng repeated, excitedly. "You don't mean you considered ending your life for that woman, do you?"
Hearing Feng Feng's blunt question, Feng Qishi coughed a few times. Yan Shan awkwardly touched his neck and said, "Young girls nowadays are indeed very direct."
"You're too foolish," Feng Feng said with a serious expression. "Let me tell you, you have to think positively. If this relationship didn't work out, it's because your fate together has ended, and there are better things waiting for you. You absolutely cannot have suicidal thoughts. Life is only once, thinking like that is too silly."
Feng Qishi was surprised by Feng Feng's perspective on life. He put down his knife and fork and asked, "Feng Feng, are you in love?"
Mu Anxiao became curious about this topic. She put down her fork, turned her head, and focused her gaze on Feng Feng's face.
Feng Feng quickly noticed Mu Anxiao's gaze. She then looked at Yan Shan and Feng Qishi opposite her, smiled, and turned back to meet Mu Anxiao's eyes, asking, "Are you curious?"
"What does 'girlfriend' mean?" Mu Anxiao knew Feng Qishi wouldn't answer properly, so she asked his sister.
"You don't know?" Feng Feng feigned surprise.
"If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you," Mu Anxiao said plainly.
Feng Feng raised her eyebrows and said, "Alright, seeing how naive you are, your sister will explain the meaning of 'girlfriend' to you."
"Hey, don't take advantage of her," Feng Qishi reminded her.
Feng Feng heard this, glared at Feng Qishi, then looked at Mu Anxiao's curious expression and said, "A girlfriend means that a woman and a man get together, and they haven't gotten married yet..."
"Getting married is becoming a couple?" Mu Anxiao clarified.
Feng Feng nodded. "Yes, before a woman and a man get married, she is that man's girlfriend."
"I'm not considered your brother's girlfriend?" Mu Anxiao asked directly.
Yan Shan froze for a moment, then glanced at Feng Qishi's stiff expression and smiled faintly.
"That..." Feng Feng gave a dry laugh. "You'll have to ask my brother."
