"Two men, liking each other, is that... perverted?" Song Xiwei didn't expect the well-informed Bai Xiaosheng Sifan to react so strongly.
"Senior sister, you are the most beautiful flower in our sect, the most authentic beauty. Don't be like that brat Xiran, whose mind is full of wanting to see two men..." Sifan only said half of what she wanted to say.
When Song Xiwei heard Sifan mention Xiran, she remembered something.
Xi Ran has that strange quirk; she likes to bring her fellow disciples together. The closer they are, the more excited she gets—much more excited than when she's cultivating herself.
Because of his handsome appearance and his knowledge of everything, Si Fan was very popular in the sect. Xi Ran was the one who tried the hardest to match him up with. Today she would match him with this senior brother, and tomorrow she would match him with that junior brother. In short, Si Fan deeply resented the pain of being controlled by Xi Ran.
So when Sifan heard that two men liked each other, she reacted extremely strongly.
"Um, actually that's not quite right, the situation is different." Song Xiwei thought that she wasn't a proper man, she was an imposter.
Still feeling uneasy, she asked Sifan, "Do you have someone you like?"
"Me? The person I like, I, I..." Sifan actually started to stammer.
"You have someone you like?" Song Xi asked excitedly.
Si Fan coughed awkwardly and tentatively asked her, "Senior Sister, you're asking me this? You... do you mean to me..."
"Uh, you misunderstood. I don't like you. I just wanted to ask if you've ever had a crush on someone," Song Xiwei quickly explained.
Sifan visibly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good!"
"Is the person you like someone from our sect?" Song Xiwei thought for a moment. Si Fan had good relationships with everyone in the sect, so it would be normal for him to like one of his senior or junior sisters.
"Yes, the one I mentioned to my senior sister earlier, that brat Xiran, I think I like her," Sifan confessed to Song Xiwei.
"Huh? Xi Ran? You're saying the person you like is Xi Ran?" Song Xiwei was stunned. "Didn't you hate her the most? I remember you two would start arguing whenever you met, and sometimes it even escalated to a physical fight. Are you sure you like her?"
"Yes, I'm sure. But even though I like her, she's a blockhead. She has no interest in romance. She even came to find me just now, trying to set me up with my other junior brothers to go to the hot springs." Si Fan said with a wry smile.
Song Xiwei felt sorry for him, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
Sifan said, "Senior Sister, why are you asking me these questions all of a sudden? Could it be that you've met someone you like?"
Song Xiwei sighed softly, "There are many kinds of liking, right? There's liking for friends, liking for romantic love, and liking for comrades-in-arms, right?"
“Of course, liking someone isn’t just about romantic love,” Sifan agreed.
"Well, tell me, what kind of liking do you have for Xiran? Is it romantic liking? And how do you distinguish what kind of liking you have for her?" Song Xiwei asked cautiously.
If Si Fan were asked these questions by Song Xiwei in person, he would feel embarrassed, but since it was just a telepathic conversation, he could be frank and open about it. It was not good to keep these things to himself, so it was good to have someone to talk to.
"Liking a friend means having a good impression of that friend, feeling comfortable in the relationship, and being able to continue the friendship. Liking a life partner is because you've experienced a lot together and have a shared understanding. As for romantic love, it's completely different. Liking someone means wanting to possess them, wanting to actively get close to them, such as kissing, hugging, holding hands, and..."
Sifan didn't continue; he was embarrassed.
