Han Chen: “…”
Song Yan: "Let's be frank. Zhou Mo, Chen Pan, and I are just friends. You and Lu Zhishu, a doctor and a celebrity manager, how can I compare with you... I'm not good at anything and I eat everything I want. Who would be interested in me?"
Han Chen: “…”
Zhou Mo almost laughed out loud. She said to Han Chen, "Did you hear that? Don't worry now."
Han Chen: "He's quite interesting."
Zhou Mo: "Yeah, otherwise why would Shen Pan and I want to be friends with him."
If nothing else, just have fun.
Han Chen: "When will you come back?"
Zhou Mo: "I will go back to the academy at noon and go to the academy in the afternoon."
Han Chen: "I'll pick you up after get off work."
Zhou Mo: "Okay, I'll wait for you after get off work."
The two of them hung up the phone reluctantly.
"See? I said Second Brother Han Chen was definitely suspicious of us," Song Yan said with a confident expression, "I was right."
Zhou Mo nodded and said, "You are awesome." She really admired him.
Song Yan looked very proud, "After all, I have been with my brother for so many years, so I still have some ability to read people's expressions."
Zhou Mo: "Learn from you."
Song Yan: "But Second Brother Han Chen... is a bit too judgmental. I explained everything to him clearly, but he still complained. That's not very kind of him."
Zhou Mo: “…”
Song Yan: "He probably just has inertia and thinks that when a man and a woman walk together, there has to be something going on."
Zhou Mo: "After all, he is Han Chen's brother, so it's normal for him to protect Han Chen."
Song Yan: "Does protecting Han Chen mean I look down on you?"
Zhou Mo didn't answer, and it was difficult to answer.
Song Yan took out a cake, broke it into small pieces, and scattered a handful towards the lake. Immediately, wild ducks and koi swam over. When several black swans in the middle of the lake saw this, they formed pairs and hurried to the lake.
"You said that people are in pairs, and swans are in pairs. Why should I, a single dog, come here to torture myself?" Song Yan turned his head and asked Zhou Mo.
"Uh..." Zhou Mo really didn't know how to respond to this.
"That doesn't seem right," Song Yan said, "Chen Pan and Lu Zhishu broke up, so he should be considered a single dog, right?"
"How about you two get together?" Zhou Mo said jokingly.
"No, no, no, forget it, Shen Pan. I'd rather find a man."
"Huh?" Zhou Mo was surprised.
"I'm afraid Lu Zhishu will really come to see me with a knife." Song Yan threw all the cakes into the lake. He clapped his hands and turned to Zhou Mo and said, "After signing the contract with Lu Zhishu yesterday, he talked to me alone for a while."
"What to talk about? About Chen Pan?" Zhou Mo asked.
"What else?" Song Yan said, "But he is quite direct. I also like directness and no beating around the bush. He came up and asked me if I liked Chen Pan."
"How did you answer?"
"Answer truthfully," Song Yan said, "My acquaintance with you two is purely coincidental. We had a great conversation and got along very well, that's all. Lu Zhishu and Han Chen think too much of me. Not all acquaintances of the opposite sex have to develop into a relationship. Isn't it better for us to just be friends happily?"
"Same idea," Zhou Mo said. "Shen Pan and I have always felt that you are a good person. You treat us as friends, and we don't want to treat you as an outsider."
"That's right," Song Yan said, "Aren't friendships built by getting along? If I were to ask, one day when Han Chen and Lu Zhishu are free, I'd arrange a party. You and Shen Pan would invite them over, and the five of us could have a meal together and have some drinks to iron out any grudges."
"You are too bored, so why don't you find someone to accompany you to eat, drink and have fun?" Zhou Mo joked, and pointed out Song Yan's thoughts.
"Hehe," Song Yan smiled awkwardly, "You found out."
"How could you not notice? If you weren't so bored, why would you say hello to me and Shen Pan on the side of the road?"
They were not familiar with each other at first.
"Yeah, I'm so bored," Song Yan said. "Everyone else is busy with their careers, but I don't know what to do all day."
"If you have nothing to do, then find something to do."
"What are you looking for?"
"You're not single? You can have a relationship. Find a girlfriend and I guarantee you'll be busy."
"Forget it, I don't want to."
"Why?"
"Here, there's someone," Song Yan pointed to his heart, "There's someone in my heart. If I look for someone else, wouldn't that be a waste of the girl's time?"
Song Yan looked across the lake, his gaze gazing into the distance. He was lost in thought as he stared at a row of willow trees across the lake.
Zhou Mo heard a hint of sadness and self-mockery in Song Yan's words, which was a very rare emotion in the optimistic and lively Song Yan.
"Can you tell me more about it?" Zhou Mo said, "Some things might make you feel better if you tell them."
Song Yan shook his head, "I can't say."
"Why?"
"Not all feelings are suitable to be exposed to the sun. Some secret loves should be buried deep in the heart."
Song Yan suddenly became open-minded, but Zhou Mo was confused.
She tried to figure out the meaning of Song Yan's words over and over again, but she couldn't understand it.
Not all emotions are suitable to be shown under the sun...
She pondered the words over and over again.
Finally came to the conclusion - could it be that Shen Pan guessed it right?
Zhou Mo was eager to verify this further, so she asked, "There's a Mingyue Street behind the school with lots of delicious restaurants. Shall we go there for lunch later?"
"You mean the 'Nantong Street'?"
"You know?" Zhou Mo was shocked again.
In the past, when the Internet was not so developed, there was a special section called "Nantong Street" in a local forum in Dongjiang.
