"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she is still single."

"Not only is she single, but she is also very likely to be like the PhD."

"I've been single all this time and have never been in a relationship."

"How did you know?" Ai asked curiously. How could Kousuke know so much about such a private matter? Had he already contacted the other party?

"I was just guessing." Guangyou still didn't explain, and just made up a reason, "Because this is the best result I could have imagined."

"Think about it, two people have known each other since childhood and have fallen in love with each other."

"For some reason, the two had to separate."

"But the distance did not diminish their feelings for each other; on the contrary, like wine, it became more mellow with time."

"Both of them are single and hope to see each other again someday."

"Is this a romantic love story?"

"If you find a screenwriter to add some plot, it will become another romantic art film."

It wasn't that he didn't want to explain to Ai, but even if he did, she wouldn't believe him.

He had explained it to Ai before, and confronted her about it, but she didn't believe him.

So much so that later on, whenever this issue came up, he would say the same thing.

On the contrary, Ai believed everything he made up.

This time is no exception.

"That sounds pretty good." Ai thought about the story Kousuke told her, nodded, and said, "If that's true, it's indeed quite romantic."

These are words she wouldn't have said before.

If it were before, she probably would have said:

"They could have met better people over such a long time, but they just stood there waiting like idiots. They didn't feel any romance; they just seemed a bit silly."

Now her attitude towards this kind of thing has changed in the exact opposite way.

This is also because of Guangyou.

“Right?” Guangyou felt helpless. He told the truth but no one believed him. They said he was making up stories, but when he made up stories, he felt like he was telling the truth.

Sigh, this is so difficult.

"However, just to be on the safe side, I'll go check it out later." Kōyū didn't deny that Ai's words about the possibility of it happening.

So he said:

"If that person already has a family, then forget about it."
