Jiang Yao realized that all Lu Xingzhi wanted was someone to listen to him. A guy who kept his comments to himself did not mean he had nothing to say. That did not mean he did not need someone to confide in.
She was the only person he could confide in without feeling judged.
Jiang Yao spent an afternoon getting to know everyone there. She had not met any one of them, yet thanks to Lu Xingzhi's introduction, she had the illusion that she had once become friends with them.
He remembered it too deeply and said it too clearly that he had created that lifelike image in her mind.
It was not until dusk that Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao departed the Martyrs' Mausoleum. They returned to the army base for dinner with Lu Xingzhi's friends before returning to the hotel where they were staying.
