The other two roommates joined the discussion: "Yeah, you can't just hang yourself on one tree."
"After chasing for so long, the other person hasn't responded, that definitely means they're not interested. Continuing to chase won't lead to any results, so it's better to pull out sooner. Better a short pain than a long one!"
Xu Jinyan felt even more irritated.
After a while, he furrowed his brows and said, "What if that guy doesn't really dislike her?"
"Just because he doesn't dislike her doesn't mean he likes her!"
"Exactly, not disliking someone is different from liking them! The girl probably gave up because she understood this."
A trace of struggle flashed across Xu Jinyan's face: "Then, what if he does like her?"
"What? Like? Who likes whom?" His roommate looked at him puzzled.
Xu Jinyan's expression was slightly awkward as he bravely said: "I mean, what if that guy has a bit of a liking for the girl?"
