Among the people Lu Yibei knows.
Singles are divided into three categories.
Firstly, she "lacks worldly desires." Although she might occasionally tease young couples, she actually has no interest in romantic relationships whatsoever. She focuses all her energy on "herself" and "her hobbies."
This type of person is led by Hao Zhangwen, also known as Fatty Hao.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Zile, the most popular student at Jiangda University whom I've met a few times, is also this kind of person.
Secondly, there's the "laissez-faire" type, who believe that "if I meet the right person, I'll date; if not, it's fine not to. I'll just leave it to fate and won't force anything." Perhaps deep down they yearn to meet their destined one, but only "that person" can enter their heart; no one else can.
This type of person is the most common in daily life.
However, the representative selected by Lu Yibei was quite rare; it was Xu Che, also known as Young Master Xu.
Thirdly, they constantly talk about wanting to be in a relationship, but when someone introduces them to someone and they're just one step away from it, they can come up with a lot of reasons to refuse, such as, but not limited to, "not feeling well," "bad weather," or "incompatible zodiac signs."
As for this type of person...
Lu Yibei glanced at Chu Chu and asked, "How about I introduce you to someone?"
Just as Chu Chu was about to answer, he happened to pass by the basketball court.
A basketball flew over, its surface gleaming.
He hasn't even spoken yet.
--Bang.
It hit her on the head.
Chu Chu's head tilted to the side after being hit.
Lu Yibei: Σ(⊙▽⊙)
Chu Chu: (?_?)
Lu Yibei: "...Are you...alright?"
He swears to God, he really didn't attract the basketball!
"Hey, Brother Bei..."
But then someone on the basketball court started calling him.
Who the hell is trying to frame him?!
Lu Yibei glared at him, only to find that it was indeed an old acquaintance.
Wu Sheng.
He ran over quickly, and seeing that he had accidentally hit someone, he immediately apologized.
"Excuse me, excuse me... Are you alright? Should we go to the infirmary?"
Chu Chu wasn't one to be dramatic—besides, although there was a thud, her head was hard, and she didn't feel much pain.
"...No, just be careful..."
Chu Chu gently rubbed her head, mainly to fix her hairstyle.
"…ah."
Wu Sheng wasn't very familiar with Chu Chu; they had only met once or twice, and he only recognized her now.
He was just thinking about Chen Guang's hopeless situation, but suddenly he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Chu Chu didn't recognize Wu Sheng.
For Wu Sheng, Chu Chu was the idealized image of his good brother.
But to Chu Chu, Wu Sheng seemed somewhat like a stranger.
"Senior Lu—ah, and Chu Chu too!"
Wang Wei, who was still on the basketball court, greeted the two of them.
Wang Wei was in the same class as Chen Wei, and also a classmate of Chu Chu.
Even classmates in college may not know each other, but Chu Chu, as Ji Da's roommate, his daughter-in-law Wang Jue's best friend, and a bright and beautiful young woman herself, left a deep impression on Wang Wei.
"Playing ball?" Lu Yibei greeted him.
"Yeah, Senior Lu, want to come along?" Wang Wei asked loudly.
Lu Yibei held up the watermelon in his hand:
"I'll definitely do it next time."
Wang Wei smiled and said, "Okay."
They still form a trio, as for the last member…
Chen Guangzheng looked up coolly at the basketball hoop, as if the blue sky above the hoop would be clearer.
Lu Yibei: ...
He didn't say hello.
"I'm leaving now."
Lu Yibei said, "Be careful when you play ball."
Okay.
After retrieving the ball, Wu Sheng smiled and jogged back to the basketball court.
He glanced at Lu Yibei and Chu Chu's departing figures before speaking to the cool Chen Guang:
"Hiroko, let's go, stop pretending."
Chen Guang then snapped out of his daze: "Huh? What's wrong?... Oh, Brother Lu? I was just wondering why I missed that fadeaway jumper. I think the arc was off..."
Wu Sheng paused for a moment: "You still can't forget?"
Chen Guang scoffed dismissively, "I've long forgotten."
Wu Sheng: "I didn't say what it was."
Chen Guang: ...
A young person's "liking" may be unfounded, but it is also profound.
It's hard to explain, and it's impossible to know for sure.
"Play ball, play ball. Stop talking nonsense," Chen Guang said.
…
"There's a fourth one..."
After leaving the basketball court, Lu Yibei suddenly murmured to himself.
Fourth, he has someone he likes, but that person doesn't like him back. So he has no choice but to remain single.
The most representative figure is Chen Guang.
Lu Yibei glanced at Chu Laomei beside him and asked, "Feeling guilty?"
She clearly looked uncomfortable, but she still stubbornly insisted:
"Why should I feel guilty? I didn't do anything wrong..."
"That's good," Lu Yibei said.
From the perspective of universal values, it is certainly not fair to say that Chu Chu did anything wrong, and her guilt does not mean that she felt she did anything wrong.
It stems from empathy.
"Chen is a pretty good guy, why did you reject him back then?"
Lu Yibei casually said, "Look at you now, Ji Qingqian is dating, Wang Jue is dating, and even Xiao Ma has left you. You're all alone now, are you regretting it?"
Chu Chu looked back to make sure the two were far enough away from the basketball court that the people there couldn't hear what she said, before she hummed and said:
"My standards are extremely high; I don't look down on just anyone."
Rather than saying she was talking badly about someone behind their back, it's more accurate to say that little Chu Chu was afraid that if Chen Guang overheard her and took her stubbornness as the truth, she would be heartbroken again.
