After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Bo Yuxiu readily admitted, "Yes, I like her, and I want to marry her."

Xu Yang lowered his head and smiled slightly, "I like your straightforward personality."

The laughter gradually subsided, and he looked out into the darkness, letting out a long sigh.

"What I'm about to say might be uncomfortable or even harsh to you. But as your friend, I have an obligation and responsibility to tell you."

Sensing Xu Yang's seriousness, Bo Yuxiu sat up straight and took a deep breath.

"Go ahead, I'm all ears."

He crossed his legs, just like Xu Yang, and gripped his coffee cup tightly with his long, slender hands.

It seemed as if, gripping the coffee cup tightly, he would soon be able to face everything Xu Yang had said.

"To date a woman like Shen Yao, you need to learn to provide emotional support and give her enough security. Can you do that?"

Xu Yang noticed that Bo Yuxiu seemed about to say that he could do it, so he waved his hand, signaling Bo Yuxiu not to speak yet.

Are you trying to say that you can do what I'm saying?

Bo Yuxiu nodded confidently, "I can do it. I think I'm a very emotionally stable person."

Xu Yang shook his head. "Just being emotionally stable isn't enough for you to love Shen Yao. Do you even have empathy?"

Bo Yuxiu felt increasingly confused as he listened, but he could roughly guess that Xu Yang seemed to be against him being with Shen Yao.

"Lu Jiajia is Shen Yao's most important friend. Between Lu Jiajia and you, how do you expect her to choose?"

“What’s between me and Shen Yao is just our business. What does it have to do with Lu Jiajia?” Bo Yuxiu said, puzzled.

Xu Yang shook his head and smiled faintly.

"You don't understand Shen Yao, so what makes you love her? If you think Lu Jiajia isn't important to Shen Yao, then you're wrong."

Bo Yuxiu lowered his long legs from his knees.

He rested his hands on his knees, deep in thought.

He suddenly remembered many details.

When Shen Yao went to his house, she invited Lu Jiajia.

Moreover, it seems that she has started to avoid being alone with herself.

Bo Yuxiu wanted to create opportunities for the two of them to spend time together, but Shen Yao either refused or insisted on bringing Lu Jiajia along.

"Lu Jiajia likes me, so Shen Yao will most likely reject me, is that what you mean? For the sake of so-called friendship?"

Xu Yang took a sip of coffee and smiled slightly.

"At least you didn't let love cloud your judgment."

Bo Yuxiu roughly understood what Xu Yang wanted to express to him.

He took a sip of his coffee. "In that case, I'll just confront Lu Jiajia directly."

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised that Bo Yuxiu was so straightforward and blunt.

"Aren't you afraid of hurting Lu Jiajia? If she finds out that you like Shen Yao, how will she face Shen Yao? Maybe the two of you will even break up because of you. Then from now on, Shen Yao will have no friends, and she will most likely only have you. Once people live only around one person, they will eventually drag each other into the abyss."

"You've been rambling on and on, but all you're trying to do is stop me from pursuing Shen Yao, right?"

Bo Yuxiu placed the coffee cup heavily on the coffee table.

Xu Yang remained calm despite seeing his friend angry.

"Yes, you're a smart person. For your own good, and for the good of Shen Yao and Lu Jiajia, I suggest you don't try anything with Shen Yao."

Bo Yuxiu's stubborn streak kicked in.

"What if you insist on making a move on her?"
