"Sure."
Han Lie nodded agreeably. "I'll definitely come visit when there's a chance."
Hu Jing felt slightly embarrassed by her mother's words and stole a glance at Han Lie, then gave her mother a resentful nudge. Her body language clearly asked: What are you doing?! Why did you accept his gift?
In truth, she really didn't feel anything special for Han Lie. He was just a regular classmate in the past, and today's reunion was more about curiosity than anything else. So, accepting his gift made her feel particularly uneasy.
However, Hu Jing's mother was thinking further ahead.
Firstly, at this point, insisting on paying would seem like they were looking down on him.
Secondly, Han Lie had spoken so eloquently. He seemed like a steady and thoughtful young man, and she actually hoped her daughter could be friends with someone like him.
Thirdly, it was a matter of give-and-take. She was also quite curious about Han Lie and wanted to know more about him, as a precaution.
