That evening, another roommate, Zhou Zhiyang, also returned.

When Li Qihao noticed that Zhou Zhiyang had returned, his expression seemed off.

Why does Zhou Zhiyang, who is usually optimistic and cheerful, look so uneasy today?

Li Qihao frowned and looked at Zhou Zhiyang, asking worriedly, "Brother, why do you look so strange today? Did something happen?"

Zhou Zhiyang had been lost in his own thoughts with his head down, and only looked up as if waking from a dream when he heard Li Qihao's words.

He gave an awkward smile, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Seeing Zhou Zhiyang's appearance, Li Qihao knew perfectly well that it wasn't just simple fatigue.

He snorted and said, "Don't lie to me. We've been friends for so many years, do you think I can't tell you're troubled? Tell me what's wrong!"

Seeing Li Qihao's unyielding attitude, Zhou Zhiyang knew he couldn't hide it from the guy.

He sighed, a little embarrassed, and said, "It's nothing really... it's just that I think I've recently developed a crush on a girl, but I don't know if she's interested in me too, so I'm a little nervous..."

When Li Qihao heard this, he couldn't believe that this guy was so worried about girls!

He exclaimed in surprise, "What? You're actually so troubled by girls? I thought you only ever focused on solving all sorts of problems, but it turns out you also have a crush on someone!"

Li Qihao was overjoyed, exclaiming to Zhou Zhiyang with delight, "You actually have someone you like! And it's a girl who confessed to you first! This is even rarer than winning the lottery!"

Zhou Zhiyang was startled by Li Qihao and quickly covered Li Qihao's mouth, afraid that Chang Jing would also hear it.

Zhou Zhiyang blushed: "Hey, who said she confessed to me? It's just a one-sided crush, and now I'm worried about whether she likes me back..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qihao quickly waved his hand: "Don't rush, these things have to be taken slowly. You've already confirmed that you like her, so get to know her better and observe her more. Even if she hasn't made any moves yet, she'll definitely be head over heels for you eventually!"

Zhou Zhiyang listened and also felt that there was some truth to it.

But he was still uneasy: "What if I pursued her for so long, only to find out that she never liked me at all? Wouldn't that be so awkward? What if our classes are close to each other? It would be so awkward if we met."

Li Qihao snorted: "If you feel embarrassed, then it means you have a problem with your observation skills! I've never seen a girl in our class resist your charm. If you're willing to pursue her seriously, your chances of success are very high!"

Hearing this, Chang Jing, who was on the bed, couldn't help but interject: "What? Even the top liberal arts student gets rejected by a girl? What kind of person is this girl, with such high standards?"

Hearing Chang Jing's voice, Zhou Zhiyang said somewhat embarrassedly, "No, we get along quite well. I just don't know if she likes me too... Besides, she's so pretty, I don't even feel very confident looking at myself..."

Li Qihao curled his lip: "Come on, everyone knows how many girls in the class are head over heels for Zhou Zhiyang. If you ask me, 99% of those girls are interested in you too, you just have terrible observation skills and can't see it!"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhiyang felt a little relieved.

He smiled and said, "If she really is interested in me too, that would be wonderful!"

Chang Jing chuckled from the bed, "Zhou Zhiyang, if the person you like is right in front of you, you'd better seize the opportunity! Otherwise, you'll regret it if someone else snatches them away!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiyang tensed up again: "If you put it that way, should I take the initiative to pursue her?"

Li Qihao immediately replied, "Of course you should take the initiative! You know, liking someone isn't a one-sided thing. If you don't take the initiative, the other person won't know how you feel. It would be such a pity if they misunderstood that you're just ordinary friends!"

Chang Jing chimed in, "That's right, Zhou Zhiyang. You're such a good catch, this is a rare opportunity. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you let it slip by! She hasn't been taken by anyone else yet. If you don't take the initiative, you'll just be watching her have fun with someone else in a while!"

When Zhou Zhiyang heard his two friends' advice, he felt that they made sense.

But when it came to actually pursuing him, he was still uneasy.

Zhou Zhiyang sighed and said, "You're right. If I miss this opportunity, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. But... if I take the initiative to pursue her, what if she really only sees me as a friend? Wouldn't that be incredibly awkward? If I mess this up, how uncomfortable will it be to see her in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qihao quickly comforted him, "Silly boy, even if you are rejected, that's perfectly normal! After you've tried, their attitude will be very clear. If they reject you, you'll know how to interact with them in the future; if they accept you, that's even better!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiyang's tense mood eased slightly.

He knew that Li Qihao had a point. Even if he was rejected, it was just a normal thing. At least after trying, he would understand the other person's attitude, which would make it easier to get along when they met in the future.

Chang Jing encouraged him from the side: "Zhou Zhiyang, you should take action! This is a rare opportunity. If you don't take the initiative, people will think you're afraid to express your feelings, which will further reduce your chances of success. You need to be decisive now and express your feelings proactively. Either you succeed, or you'll understand their attitude, so you won't have any regrets!"

After listening to the encouragement of his two friends, Zhou Zhiyang gradually made up his mind.

He knew that this was a rare opportunity, and he would truly regret it if he missed it.

Zhou Zhiyang took a deep breath and tried to cheer himself up.

He said, "Okay, you're right, I'm going to take action! She hasn't been snatched away by anyone else yet, so I'm going to take the initiative to express my feelings. Either I succeed, or I understand her attitude; at least I'll have tried and won't have any regrets!"

Li Qihao and Chang Jing both cheered Zhou Zhiyang on after hearing this.

Li Qihao laughed and said, "That's more like how a top liberal arts student should act! If you want to succeed, please tell us the details of the process so we can be happy for you!"

Zhou Zhiyang smiled upon hearing this.

He knew that with two such supportive friends, he wouldn't be too upset if he failed in his pursuit.

Zhou Zhiyang nodded: "If we succeed, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal to celebrate! You'll have to look forward to it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qihao and Chang Jing excitedly agreed, "We must succeed! We can't wait to eat Zhou Zhiyang's celebratory feast!"

The atmosphere was lively, and Zhou Zhiyang was also infected by his two friends, which greatly relieved his tension and anxiety.
