Before Xie Yizhou appeared, Lu Yinong didn't believe in the concept of "fated love".

She was an atheist.

When she was suddenly stopped by someone that day, Lu Yinong couldn't remember what the boy's name was.

Was it Xie or Tan?

She just caught a glimpse of it while signing at the police station.

Lu Yinong declined his invitation but noticed the instant dimming of his eyes.

Perhaps because it happened to be her birthday that day, his expression of anticipation turning into disappointment was too familiar, reminding Lu Yinong of herself at the age of six.

So, she took a roundabout way in her refusal and asked, "Do you want to have coffee?" when she was about to leave.

Her sister elbowed her teasingly, "Isn't this a rare sight? Has the impossible happened?"

However, Lu Yinong felt it wasn't a romantic interest between a man and a woman. If she had to describe it, it was more like opening a can of cat food for a stray cat she encountered on the roadside.

It was just out of pity.

Therefore, when this boy stutteringly expressed his feelings, Lu Yinong clearly told him that she would never fall in love or get married and have children in her lifetime.

He should find someone else, just like those boys who had shown interest in her before.

After a long time, Lu Yinong had almost forgotten about the person named Xie Yizhou.

She encountered him again, on the subway.

In the crowded train, he obviously didn't notice her and looked listless.

But it was him who jumped up and cursed loudly when he saw someone making inappropriate advances, shielding another girl behind him.

Lu Yinong called the subway police, and they quickly escorted them to the next station.

The carriage returned to silence, and Xie Yizhou sat back, still drooping his head and looking listless.

Lu Yinong suddenly found it very interesting.
