"What is love?"

In the girls' dormitory, Xin suddenly raised this question, which made everyone stunned.

"Heart? Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Weilai swung her legs in confusion, sat on the head of the bed and looked at her, while Xin lowered her head with a slightly blushing face.

"Sorry, I just feel a little confused... After all, we don't understand these things at all..."

"Love..."

Hearing this, Mei also sat up from her bed and put down the pocket book in her hand.

"I think love means loving someone wholeheartedly. After all, that's what the book says..."

As she spoke, Mei raised the pocket book in her hand. This was the one she had brought back from the bookstore - a romance novel that told the love story between a boy and a girl in school.

"Eh? Is that so? But the book Future says that love is just about liking someone?"

As he spoke, Mirai showed off the pocket book he got from the bookstore. The content inside described the triangle relationship between the male protagonist who inherited the family business, his fiancée who he had been engaged to since childhood, and his first love, and it ended with a happy harem ending.

but……

"That's a book for adults, right?"

Mei glanced at the slightly embarrassing cover, blushed slightly and lowered her head.

"That's why it's right."

As Weilai spoke, he slapped the pocket notebook in his hand vigorously.

"Adults read this kind of book, so this is adult love, right?"

"I still think that single-minded love is better."

Berry shook her head.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't the others be too pitiful?"

The future is the novel in my hand. Although the hero and his fiancée were engaged, they did not have a deep relationship at first. But later, the girls who were attracted to the hero gradually opened their hearts and fell in love with him - this is a fairly orthodox harem work.

And in the future...

"Everyone likes him, but if he only chooses one person, that's so unfair. Aren't the other girls too pitiful?"

"But if you can't be wholeheartedly devoted to each other, then it's not true love!"

Berry obviously disagrees with the idea of ​​the future.

"Is it okay even if it hurts other people? If Mei and I fall in love with the same boy, will you give in like the heroine in the book?"

"this……"

Faced with Wei Li's angry questioning, Mei was speechless for a moment. She didn't know why, but at this moment she suddenly remembered the scenes of Guang and 02 getting along with each other. She immediately lowered her head and remained silent.

“…”

Looking at the awkward atmosphere between the two, Xin didn't know what to say, since she was the one who brought up the topic.

"By the way, Xin, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Wei Li also felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject. But when he heard Wei Li's question, Xin hesitated for a moment.

"I heard from X that he has many lovers..."

“Is this true?”

Hearing this, not only did Wei Li widen his eyes in surprise, but even Mei looked over in astonishment.

"That's what he said. I'm not very clear..."

"Yeah, but it doesn't seem strange to say that."

Future folded his arms and nodded.

"After all, X is handsome, gentle and considerate, just like the protagonists in novels. It's normal for girls to like him."

At this point, the future is bright.

"Oh, in that case, why don't we just go ask X?"

So, when Fang Zheng saw a group of girls running up to him aggressively and asking this question, he was completely confused.

"like?"

"yes."

Wei Li stared at Fang Zheng curiously.

"I heard you have many lovers, so you must know a lot about love."

"Of course, I know what Ai is...Okay, just kidding."

Seeing the girls' confused looks, Fang Zheng could only laugh and change the subject.

"Even if you want me to, I can't really explain it."

"Eh? Why? Didn't you say you had many lovers? Then you must know a lot."

“Everyone’s view on love is different.”

Looking at the girls in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Indeed, I have said before that love is a special kind of liking, but how this love is expressed depends on each person's personality. Some people just want to guard silently and see the person they love happy. Some people will choose to steal the lover, and even disregard friendship and family affection. As long as she is for love, she can give up everything. Some people are extremely possessive and must be with the person they love, otherwise they will kill the other person and then commit suicide..."

Having said that, Fang Zheng subconsciously touched his waist again.

This is all conditioned reflex, a total symptom of PTSD.

"hiss……"

When the girls heard Fang Zheng say this, they all gasped.

"Is it so terrible?"

"I'm just giving an example. Of course, those who seek death are a minority. Most people are normal."

"So, where is your lover?"

At this moment Mei suddenly asked.

"You have many lovers, what do you think?"

"Indeed, there are many girls who express their love to me, but I don't accept them very often."

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"To be honest, I personally don't really understand the kind of love that involves loving only one person for the rest of your life. For me, what's more important is to like the other person, feel compatible with each other, and get along well with each other. So if the other person is willing to accept it, then I will do my best to make her happy. If not... then sorry, I won't accept it."

Fang Zheng spread his hands and shook his head. This was also the reason why, although he had the fate of being the protagonist of the Love World, Fang Zheng had the fewest concubines in the Love World. Because the girls in the Love World were too extreme in love, always fighting to the death, or they were too possessive and wanted to stab you in the back... Speaking of this, Fang Zheng felt his waist start to hurt again.

"Eh? But if you do this, won't the girls who like you be sad?"

Hearing this, Weilai looked at Fang Zheng doubtfully and asked.

"Indeed, but... um..."

Facing the girls' puzzled looks, Fang Zheng thought for a moment before slowly explaining to them.

"Let me put it this way. Dating is not a matter for one person, but for two people. Take me for example. If I want to date someone, I must not only care about my own feelings, but also the feelings of the other person. In short, this means being responsible. And the girls I date are of course much closer to me than the girls I'm not dating. This should be easy for you to understand, just like people who are familiar with each other, the feelings are much closer than those who have never met."

Having said that, Fang Zheng reached out and touched Future's head.

"Take you for example. If you quarrel with a stranger, I will definitely help you because I know you but not him. The same is true for love. Indeed, if I reject a girl's confession, she will be very sad, but if I don't reject her, it will also make my lovers sad. There is no way to have the best of both worlds in this world, so I have to make a choice... Do you understand?"

“Ah… um…”

Facing Fang Zheng's words, Weilai nodded blankly, while Xin raised her hand curiously.

"So...X, are all your lovers special to you?"

"At least it's definitely more special than the others."

After that, the girls gathered around Fang Zheng and asked some questions, mostly gossip, such as what girls in love do, whether they want to date, and what Fang Zheng and his lovers do... Fang Zheng naturally did not directly explain the latter on the grounds of personal privacy.

After all the trouble, the girls, having satisfied their gossiping desires, left contentedly. Just when Fang Zheng thought that the matter was over, Mei suddenly turned back quietly.

"Um...X, I have something I want to ask you..."

"Hmm? What's up?"

"Well, I have a friend..."

Hearing Mei's words, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.

He knew what the other party would say next without having to listen.

As expected, Mei then told Fang Zheng that her "friend" had grown up with a boy, and that she had always liked the boy, but had never discovered it. But not long ago, the "friend" discovered her feelings for the boy, and at this time, another woman appeared next to the boy...

Mei's "friend" was feeling very anxious about this, and she didn't know what to do. It felt like her toy had been taken away by someone else, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

So Mei wanted to ask Fang Zheng what to do.

"Um……"

After listening to Mei's description, Fang Zheng thought for a moment.

"I don't have much advice to give you. Anyway, you have to remember that love is something that cannot be forced. Although it is cruel, it is an iron rule that childhood sweethearts cannot defeat the one who comes from heaven..."

"Eh? What does this mean?"

"That is to say, the person who has always been by your side may not be able to compete with someone who suddenly appears. Well... to put it scientifically, it is because they have been together since childhood and are too familiar with each other, so it is difficult to regard them as a romantic partner. This situation is not uncommon."

“How could it be…!”

Hearing this, Mei's face turned pale, and Fang Zheng reached out his hand helplessly and patted her shoulder.

"In short, you have to remember that confession itself is a sharp blade, because once you confess your feelings to the other person, the relationship between the two parties will never go back to the way it was. In the best case, you can still be friends. But in the worst case, you can't even be friends."

"Even my friends..."

"Anyway, that's all the advice I can give."

“…”

After listening to Fang Zheng's words, Mei lowered her head and thought for a long time, then she looked at Fang Zheng.

"Thank you, X."

After saying this, Mei turned and left.

Looking at Mei's back, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly.

Green plums cannot defeat the one that falls from the sky. This is an iron rule, girl.
