That evening, Lu Cailian invited Chen Bin for dinner.
"Chen Tai, I've gotten divorced. I'm really grateful to you this time; otherwise... I wouldn't know how long I'd be stuck in those hopeless days."
Looking at Lu Cailian with tears streaming down her face, Chen Bin responded.
"To help you, I've spent quite a bit of effort. How do you plan to repay me?"
"Any way you want me to repay you is fine. As long as I can do it, I definitely won't refuse."
"No rush, I'll tell you later."
During the following time, the two had quite a few drinks, going back and forth.
After dinner, it was already half past nine.
Chen Bin was the first to ask, "It's too late now, can I stay at your place tonight?"
"Of course!"
Lu Cailian pointed to the guest room, saying: "You can stay there."
After hastily washing his face, Chen Bin walked into the room.
Lu Cailian finished tidying up the dishes and returned to the main bedroom to lie down, filled with hesitation.
