Xinyu was stunned. She turned to look at Lu Xuehan, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Xuehan," she asked, "why did you say I was so silly?"
Lu Xuehan glanced at me, and I nodded. In a very soft voice, she said, "Lin Fan said he doesn't mind anything at all. What is there for you to mind? Does everything in this world have to be completely figured out before you can take the next step? Even if Lin Fan is just saying words to comfort you, it still shows he cares about your feelings. Why don't you just take it at face value—that he really doesn't mind? Wouldn't that be much better? Even if we both know it's a mutual deception, there's no resentment in our hearts. Personally, I think that's a wonderful way to be. If we waited for everything to be neatly planned out, it would probably be too late."
Xinyu and I stared at each other in blank dismay, neither of us expecting Lu Xuehan to say so much all at once. She spoke fluently and calmly, going on for a good half a minute.
