Shortly after they placed their orders, the waiter served them their drinks first . Fang Jiayin had a cup of coffee, while Xuxu had hot chocolate . Soon enough, the sweet smell of hot beverages
permeated the air .
Fang Jiayin stirred her coffee with a teaspoon . She glanced at Xuxu and asked, "Do you want some red wine?"
Xuxu shooked her head lightly . "I have a low tolerance for alcohol . "
She jolly well know her threshold for alcohol .

"I know . I am just teasing you . " Having said that, she took a sip of her coffee and continued blasting Xuxu another question . "Are you now able to drink beyond one glass of wine without getting drunk?"
Xuxu smiled in her response . "I don't get drunk but just a little tipsy . "
"You are really bad in holding your alcohol," Fang Jiayin commented, "but be it one glass or one bottle, the extent of your drunkenness is almost the same . "
This was indeed very true . Xuxu couldn't help but break into a burst of laughter . "You're right . I will be struggling to keep my balance and would need someone to hold on to . I'll also be spouting gibberish . "
Although she had a very low tolerance for alcohol, she had yet to be intoxicated to the point of unconsciousness .

"The most memorable was during Ah Heng's farewell party . According to Ah Sheng, that was the only time where you had a drop too much . " Fang Jiayin was sipping her coffee and casually talking at the same time . "He said that you must had felt heartbroken and the next day, he was nagging incessantly 'Wen Xuxu, that dumb and useless woman' . "
At the mention of this matter, Xuxu had an awkward smile on her face . She sighed and then said, "Those are embarrassing matters of the past and they're not worth a mention . "
She lowered her head and stirred her hot chocolate with a straw . Feelings of insecurity and inferiority bubbled up to the surface, and she tried her best to hide it .
During that time, Yan Rusheng was still Fang Jiayin's boyfriend . Yet, that night when he kissed or hugged her, she didn't shove him away but instead, went all out to pander to him .
Although she knew in her heart that she had misread the cues back then, it didn't change the fact that she tried to pass off as Fang Jiayin before .
And this is why she did not want to cross paths with Fang Jiayin . It wasn't just solely because she and Yan Rusheng used to have feelings for each other in the past, but because Xuxu felt guilty towards the girl .
"Xuxu, Ah Sheng has changed so much because of you," Fang Jiayin said with a smile .
Xuxu felt the embarrassment crept up to her bones when she heard Fang Jiayin said that — she even felt selfish and felt ill .
As compared to her cautious and defensive nature, Fang Jiayin was undoubtedly much better than her . She was gentle, soft-spoken, beautiful and talented, one who was deemed as the darling of the heavens .
Furthermore, Yan Rusheng's childhood friends and even the entire school had regarded them to be the most compatible . In terms of their intellect and looks, they were a match made in heaven .
She had grown up with Yan Rusheng . Though their names were often put together by people, no one had ever mentioned that they would make a compatible couple . It was only after they got together that people started complimenting them .
She lifted her head and smiled faintly . "Really?"
Yan Rusheng had indeed changed a lot . But one tends to change with times, don't they?
She would just assume that he had changed because of her . Only then would she strive to keep him by her side and never let him go .
Their steak was served and both of them still chatted as they ate . Fang Jiayin shared with Xuxu some interesting things that happened to her while she was overseas .
Jiayin shared her initial struggles in adopting a new environment—let alone overseas— and the challenges she faced in her studies . She told Xuxu about the people she met and how open-minded and carefree they were, and the places she had visited, and even the activities she participated in .
