After choosing an authentic Sichuan-flavor hot pot restaurant, Ivy asked the waiter for a small balcony
and ordered her favorite dishes.
She ate very quickly, as if all the sadness he had just seen her on the beach was a false impression.
The fragility that he heard on the phone was cleaned up by her tenacity, which made him unable to
take care of her.
"Olive, just forget him."
Olive stunned, her tears suddenly came back and fell into the bowl. "Am I silly? He got married today, I
know clearly that I can no longer love him, but I still think of him."
Ivy wiped her tears with a tissue. "Olive, he's not the only good man in the world. Just as what you
persuade me before, there are many good women in the world, either. There's no need to be entangled
only with a man."
"Some words are easy to persuade others, but it’s difficult to persuade oneself." Olive took the tissue in
his hand and sighed.
Ivy grabbed her hand. " Chloe said that you like to read Zhang Xiaoxian's book in your leisure time. I
remember one of her saying that there is always only one way to forget a relationship. There is only
one way, time and new love. If time and new love do not make you forget a relationship, there is only
one reason: the time is not long enough, and the new love is not good enough. Olive, let me take care
of you. I don't mind if you use me to forget that man.”
Olive was stunned and shook her head. "Ivy, I know you're good to me, and you are good to Annie and
my parents, but it's not fair to you."
"I don't mind." He spoke sincerely, and he did not regret what he said, even if she refused.
Olive sat upright and said earnestly, "Ivy, I know you're a good man. I'm lucky to have a friend like you.
I'm really happy to be friends with you, and it's easier to be friends than to be lovers. Being a lover, you
are really too mysterious. This mystery is a kind of uneasiness to me. I've known you for five years, but
I don't know anything about you except that you are the owner of waittngbar and recently you have a
friend named Dave Chou. You look like a homeless man, but you have some unexpected abilities,
which must be related to your mysterious background. And I haven't recovered from the last
relationship, I really can't put in another unknown relationship. I know you are not a normal person.
Even your name is not necessarily true. You hide in Luo city, you must have your reasons, I do not
want to ask, I hope that our relationship, just as well as friends, do not go further, okay?
Ivy was silent for a moment. In fact, her guess was all right. This kind woman is not only smart, but also
has extraordinary insight. No wonder Alan has missed her for five years.
Even her refusal prevented him from getting angry. Her worries were reasonable. The fright in her last
relationship made her palpitate. How could she accept another one that made her feel insecure?
"Olive, there are some things that I can’t tell you now, but it does not mean that I will not tell you later."
"Ivy, you've been hide for so many years. There must be something important to be done." Olive
remembers that five years ago, before his girlfriend left him, he should still be in a wealthy family, but it
destroyed in a night. What he wanted to do may related to the murderer who destroyed his family, and
it is so similar as Alan 's situation at that time.
"Yes." Ivy didn't want to deny it, but how would she react if she knew it had something to do with Alan?
But he didn’t tell her about it, he did not want to involve her in it.
But man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. What happened later has far exceeded
his expectations.
According to Ivy's address on the phone, Dave found the hotpot shop and shouted as soon as he came
in. "Why don’t you find a romantic place for a date, It's so noisy in the hotpot shop. It's not very stylish."
He could see that Ivy likes Olive. Otherwise, he would not be so good to Aniet. That's probably as the
saying goes“Love me ,love my dog.”
Ivy hoped they could have a date, but Olive did not tend to have date with him at all. The hot pot soup
was boiling, but his heart felt a little cold.
"Did you have dinner yet?" Olive asked him after the initial embarrassment.
Dave laughed. “ What time is it now? I've had it long ago. Even if I hadn't eaten, I wouldn't dare to be a
light bulb here, would I?”
"Olive, just give him the key so that he won't squirm here." Ivy seemed impatient.
Olive thought of another point, " Dave just came to Luo city a few days ago, I'm afraid he can't find the
place."
"Don’t worry, maybe I am more familiar with Luo city than you." Dave patted his chest.
Ivy explained, "Although he had lived outside for many years, he was a native Luo city man."
"Really?" Olive was surprised that she had never thought of it. She thought that Dave came from an
unspeakable place like him, so she didn't ask it . She thought it was a taboo topic for them. She always
avoided it carefully. Although she was curious, she didn't like to explore people's privacy.
Dave took the car key. "Okay, take your time. I'll go first."
They all do not have the mind to eat, the balcony was quiet after Dave left, the two people do not know
what to continue to talk about.
Olive's attitude was clear, but Ivy didn't want to give up, but he was afraid she would hide from him far
away under his pressure.
