Seeing Su Li's troubled expression, Wu Sheng reluctantly put down the kitchen knife.
"Su Li, you really don't need to be nervous. Even if they know about your past relationship with Old Tang, it's not a big deal."
His friends had been clamoring to meet Su Li before, but he kept putting it off, knowing she might feel self-conscious and pressured.
This time, having come back from the brink of death, and with his relationship with Su Li now stable, his friends wanted to treat him to a meal to celebrate him cheating death again. They brought up meeting Su Li once more.
These friends were very important to him—lifelong friends, barring any major falling-out. Su Li would have to interact with them sooner or later, so Wu Sheng figured they might as well meet, which was why he brought it up.
The result was just as he'd expected: Su Li got nervous. Or rather, it went beyond simple nervousness; her mind was racing with all sorts of worries.
