"Friends?" He stared at his friend with a probing look and retorted, "If it's just a friend, why are you so angry?"
"Who is angry? What nonsense are you talking about?" Qiongqi shouted in anger.
Ziheng just narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "You are anxious."
Qiongqi lost his temper when he heard this, and kept roaring in his heart, "Who is anxious? Who is anxious? How could he be anxious?"
"Do you know what your current emotion is called?" Ziheng took the initiative to ask when he saw that he didn't answer.
Qiongqi responded in confusion: "What?"
Ziheng raised his lips into a wicked smile and uttered two words softly, "Jealous."
Qiongqi frowned in confusion, "Jealous? What is jealous? I don't like eating, and I don't like jealousy even more. So what's so good about sour food?"
Ziheng sighed helplessly when he heard this, "When I say jealous, I don't mean real jealousy. Jealousy means that you feel jealous of the people and things around the person you like."
"To put it simply... you like Miss Liang, which is why you're angry about our interruption and jealous of Wen Wen's close relationship with Miss Liang."
When Qiongqi understood, his reaction was even greater. He cursed, "You...what nonsense are you talking about? If you say anything more, we'll have a fight right here!"
"Okay." Ziheng agreed without hesitation. Not only was he not threatened by the other party, he even threatened the other party in return. "Go ahead and hit me. I'm not afraid. It's just... you don't want Miss Liang to see this side of you, right?"
Qiongqi: “…”
Damn! I'm really being manipulated!
Seeing that he had calmed down, Ziheng stopped attacking her psychological defenses and instead gave her advice in a stern tone, "If you like her, just tell her boldly. Don't hold it back because you're shy."
"Human lifespans are only a few decades, a fraction of ours. You know how fragile they are. They might be fine one moment and dead the next."
"You can afford to procrastinate like this, but others may not be able to wait. It's not easy to meet someone you like, so you'd better seize the opportunity."
"I'm not dragging my feet on purpose." Qiongqi retorted after regaining his composure. Then, with a look of confusion on his face, he said, "It's just... I can't quite understand my own heart. What exactly does it mean to love someone?"
Ziheng was also stunned when he heard this question. After a long silence, he said, "If she likes you, you will be happy when she is happy, and you will be sad when she is sad. If she doesn't like you, you will feel sad and upset."
"Love means wanting to be with her forever. Even if every day is dull and uneventful, I will still feel very, very happy."
"Oh~" Qiongqi nodded in sudden realization, looked at him seriously and said, "So you like that fox!"
Ziheng was caught off guard by his words and felt a little flustered, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "We are talking about your business now, don't talk about anything else."
Qiongqi couldn't help but roll his eyes. How dare he say that? Wasn't he also afraid to confess his feelings?
Alright! We can now control each other!
Although he had grasped the other party's weakness, he was very sensible and did not bring it up again. After all, this was the only person who could answer his questions, and it would be bad if he got angry out of embarrassment.
After thinking carefully, he expressed his concerns to the other party, "You said you like me and want to be together every day, but... our race is not destined to be together forever."
"You just said that her life span is only a hundred years at most. To me, who has a long life span, it's just a drop in the bucket. If she passes away first, I won't be able to accept it."
"That depends on your choice." Ziheng said something thought-provoking.
Qiongqi: "What do you mean?"
Ziheng explained carefully, "If you really can't let go of this relationship, then why not try to accept the fact and cherish every minute and every second you are together. Even though it's short, it's very happy."
"If you still can't accept the fact that you can only have her for a short time, then get out of the relationship as soon as possible before you become inseparable from each other. Nip this vague feeling in the cradle and don't continue to have any lingering feelings."
“The pain of never having had something is less than the pain of having it and then losing it.”
After hearing this, Qiongqi suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he sighed deeply and said, "This is just one of my concerns. The other is... should I reveal my identity?"
Ziheng turned his head and looked at him seriously, "I think it's due."
Qiongqi: "Why?"
Ziheng: "The premise of love is sincerity. If you rely on lies to maintain the relationship from the beginning, then there will be more lies in the future. One lie requires countless lies to cover it up, and there will always be a day when you can no longer cover it up."
"Once something becomes irreconcilable, your relationship will be over."
"But...what if she really minds after I tell her? Then we're all done, right?" Qiongqi said, frowning tightly.
I should have known I shouldn't have gone down the mountain. Relationships are such a hassle! So annoying!
"Qiongqi." Ziheng called her with a serious expression and said solemnly: "I hope you can understand one thing, love is always a two-way choice."
"If one of you doesn't want to be together, then the relationship shouldn't continue. Breaking up is better for both of you. If you intend to continue by deceiving others, then that's disrespectful to the relationship."
"And...how do you know she doesn't want to if you don't ask?"
