"Then I won't try to persuade you anymore. As expected, Ling Zhiyi's love life is not smooth."
"Um?"
Qin Zifu told them what the master in the US had said.
"That proves I'm not his soulmate. Maybe his love life would be smoother with someone else."
"I don't know, the master didn't say."
"So, we're just going to drink, right? Aren't you guys hungry?"
"I only have wine here, no food. I don't come often, only when I'm feeling down."
"I'll decide. Let's stay here a little longer."
Tang Shuyu started ordering food.
"By the way, Tang Shuyu, don't you want to hear what the master has to say about my brother?"
"Your brother? Don't tell me about your brother, I can't handle it."
Tang Shuyu looked at her phone without looking up, but why did Qin Zifu show a hint of panic and evasion?
"Really? The master said that my brother's true love has appeared, or at least they've met. At most, the master said that it's impossible to say more, which means that something else has happened between them. What do you think this other thing is?"
Qin Zifu kept looking at her
"Really? Shuyu, tell me quickly, how far has it gotten?"
Su Nuo took her phone away
"Oh dear, how would I know what it is at most? I'm not one."
How do you know you aren't?
"No, give me your phone, I'm ordering food."
Tang Shuyu snatched the phone and focused on ordering food.
"Can't you tell me your story? Let me hear it too."
Cheng Xingran was in a much better mood now and wanted to hear the story.
Tang Shuyu looked at Cheng Xingran, who was in a better mood now. As her best friend, she decided to talk about her own experiences to help Cheng Xingran distract herself.
"Hey, for Xingran's sake, I'll tell you what we want after we order. Tell me quickly!"
"Fried chicken, hamburgers, pizza, spicy hot pot, and some sliced fruit, please."
Cheng Xingran talked a lot, and she was indeed hungry. At this moment, she felt that neither cigarettes nor alcohol tasted good.
"That's right, this is the time to eat."
After ordering their food, the group waited for Tang Shuyu to speak, and everyone looked at her.
"Just do what you're supposed to do, stop staring at me, can't a person say anything?"
"Speak, tell the truth."
"Yeah, oh dear, everything happened that night, the night Fufu called your brother in the US."
Qin Zifu thought back for a moment, "The day she called her brother? How come she didn't notice then?"
"It all happened?!"
"You kept it a secret for a while. How did you know so clearly when I said I was going and coming back? How did you manage to seduce me successfully?"
"It must have been a success, but your brother left afterward and hasn't mentioned it again since."
Moreover, she didn't intend to seduce him that day; she originally went to kiss him, but somehow she ran into him instead.
"Is my brother out of his mind? He hasn't been in contact with me?"
He slept with someone, then ran away at night, staying away for several days. When he came back, he didn't contact the person. Isn't that treating them like a sex partner?
"We contacted each other, but didn't bring up the matter again. Our relationship is a bit hard to describe."
"This piece of wood"
"Don't worry, don't worry, maybe he didn't have time. He was abroad for several days and there was a lot of work at the company. He probably got busy the day he got back, and then he just slept for one night and Ling Zhiyi got dumped again, didn't he?"
Su Nuo thought it best not to overthink things; Gu Di'an wasn't an irresponsible person.
"That's true. Qi Jingchen said they went to the half-awake area; they're probably comforting Ling Zhiyi now."
"What's there to comfort him about? At least he's free now, and nobody's arguing with him anymore."
Hypocritical.
They were indeed half-awake at that moment, watching Ling Zhiyi drink.
"Didn't you go to see her?"
Qi Jingchen and the others didn't try to persuade him; they just watched him drink.
“I went to her place, and I went to her mother’s place too, but no one was there. Does Fufu know where she is?”
Qi Jingchen nodded, but didn't ask for him.
"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking? You weren't like this when we broke up before."
"I feel like this time is different from the last. Before, we would always argue and break up, but this time she was unusually calm."
Are you scared?
"Yeah, I'm scared."
"Why didn't you do this sooner?"
Qi Jingchen glanced at him sideways.
Ling Zhiyi gave a self-deprecating laugh and remained silent.
"With Zhou Yixing as a cautionary tale, why haven't you learned your lesson?"
Qi Jingchen was truly impressed by them.
"Don't mention me now, thank you."
Zhou Yixing, this negative example, didn't want to say anything at this point.
Qi Jingchen ignored him and turned to look at Gu Di'an.
"Keep it up and try to catch up with them. I won't get involved in this."
Gu Di'an looked at him through his eyes, his pupils unfathomable, as if he were pondering something. After a few seconds, he looked away and started playing with his phone. After that, Qi Jingchen didn't look at him again.
"Jingchen, tell me, what should we do? What have you always done?"
"Always keep her in your heart, give her plenty of romantic gestures, and don't let her envy others."
Ling Zhiyi nodded; he did indeed do that.
"My ideal relationship is one where she can eat my food, use my things, spend my money, and I listen to her."
All three of them stared at him, never expecting those words to come out of Qi Jingchen's mouth. Didn't he find it cheesy and nauseating? Had this guy been possessed?
For the first thirty years of my life, I never heard him talk about love and romance; I never expected him to be so insightful.
Qi Jingchen raised an eyebrow. He didn't care what his brothers thought of him; as it turned out, he was right to do so.
"If you had done the same, you wouldn't be in this situation. You'll never understand this no matter how much you drink."
For a moment, no one spoke in the room; the room was filled with the smoke of people smoking.
Why do you think that is?
"You'll eat whatever you're fed; isn't it a bit too late to ask why now?"
"Stop messing around, let Fufu ask her for me."
"Just wait, I'll ask you when we get home tonight."
They're all such a nuisance, spending the whole day drinking with each other, ruining a perfectly good time for two.
"Tell me, why did you chase after her all the way to Yuncheng?"
"It's nothing, let's go take a look."
"Look how far their relationship has progressed with their classmate!"
Zhou Yixing remained silent, unsure how to respond.
Are you sure you can do it?
"OK"
A man should not say he is incapable.
"If you're going to do it, then stop dawdling. Observe what works for her and then do the same."
Which one? I won't take any of them.
"Impossible, it's still not enough. What did she like about you in the first place?"
"have no idea"
"..."
What do I like? I really don't know.
"Then think of a way: relentlessly pursue? Be extremely attentive? Use seduction?"
"Seduction?"
"Any method that can catch up is a good method."
"What good methods could he possibly have? If it weren't for the fact that someone was running a Douyin account, he wouldn't even know what was going on with them. He's someone whose WeChat Moments are even blocked by others."
Ling Zhiyi seized the opportunity to mock him.
"Look at you, forget about your WeChat Moments, you've probably been blocked too."
Ling Zhiyi took out her phone and sent a message. Sure enough, she received a red exclamation mark. She threw the phone on the coffee table, where it rolled twice before falling to the ground.
"Heh, you guys enjoy your drinks, it's time to go home."
"Fufu isn't home, why would she go home?"
"It's boring being with you guys."
Qi Jingchen kicked Ling Zhiyi's leg to the side, signaling him to move aside.
