Lu Ci was taken aback by the question.
Twenty minutes ago, he received a message from Wen Yu asking him to come to the bar.
When he arrived, he saw Wen Yu looking like this.
He never expected that Wen Yu, who was always indifferent to everything, would be drunk in a bar with his hair disheveled, looking utterly dejected.
I thought something serious had happened.
He never expected that Wen Yu's first question would be to him about why he liked Jiang Nian.
"Stop drinking. How much of these empty bottles did you drink?"
Lu Ciwen snatched the wine bottle from Yu's hand. "What's wrong with you? And why are you asking me this?"
Wen Yu remained motionless, his eyes dark and unfathomable: "I want to know. Answer my question."
"I……"
Lu Ci choked for a moment.
Wen Yu's question triggered her memories of what had happened before.
He couldn't casually reveal Jiang Nian's involvement in the cover-up to others. But Wen Yu was his best brother.
So I took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa.
"Do you remember what happened at the HHA anniversary party before?"
“At the time, someone impersonated a fugitive, and I am still tracking down that person.”
It happened not long ago. Wen Yu said, "I remember."
Lu Ci continued, "Later, I told Qin Xiaoxiao's uncle, who is also Chairman Qin, that Ni An had met with him and that I didn't need to investigate any further."
"As you know, I dream of seeing Ni An, so I kept pestering my uncle to ask him about Ni An."
"Then I accidentally saw that my uncle said on WeChat that he was going to have dinner with Ni An the next night."
Wen Yu didn't know why, when he asked about Jiang Nian, Lu Ci brought up the matter of Ni An.
He asked, "And then?"
Lu Ci took another deep breath: "Then, I went to that restaurant at the time they had agreed to meet."
Wen Yu raised her eyes. Her tone was not particularly calm: "You mean, you saw Ni An in person?"
"Mm." Lu Ci nodded.
Wen Yu frowned: "What does this have to do with Jiang Nian?"
“Of course there is a connection,” Lu Ci’s voice trembled slightly, “because Jiang Nian is the one who concealed the case.”
Wen Yu looked bewildered: "...What did you say?"
He seemed to have been greatly shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Lu Ci had long anticipated this reaction from him.
He gave a wry smile: "Surprised, aren't you?"
“When I saw her at the restaurant, I was even more shocked than you are now. I simply couldn’t believe it.”
Lu Ci had even snatched Wen Yu's wine bottle to stop him from drinking any more.
As he said this, he took a sip of wine, feeling somewhat dejected.
"As you know, Ni An is someone I've admired and idolized for so many years."
“I keep improving my skills and wanting to become stronger because I want to see Ni An and also want Ni An to see me.”
"But it was at that moment that I realized that the person I had been looking for and wanting to see was right beside me, I just didn't know it."
"I even stupidly sent a message to Annie with photos of myself. At the time, Jiang Nian was sitting in the classroom..."
Lu Ci's face still flushed when the matter was brought up.
Once she started talking, she continued on and on.
"Actually, I was quite interested in Jiang Nian ever since she came to Canxing, or rather, even before she came to Canxing."
“She is really special. Sometimes, I can’t help but be attracted to her.”
"That night I found out she was Ni An, and even though I knew she didn't like me, I couldn't control my feelings."
"That's why I asked you that day, if one day you found out that Liuguang was right next to you, would you fall in love with him?"
"You can imagine that one day you suddenly realize that Jiang Nian is Liu Guang, and then you should be able to understand how I feel."
As he spoke, Lu Ci recalled Wen Yu's cold reaction that day.
He added, "Oh, no. With your personality, even if you find out that Jiang Nian is Liu Guang, you probably won't fall in love with her."
Lu Ci probably doesn't know.
His words at that moment pierced Wen Yu's heart.
The boomerang that Wen Yu threw not long ago has now hit him right between the eyebrows.
Lu Ci turned his eyes away.
"Alright, I've told you everything you need to know. You still haven't told me what happened tonight."
"Besides, didn't you go to Liuguang's autograph session this evening? Why are you here now..."
"Jiang Nian is Liu Guang."
Wen Yu remained silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"Oh," Lu Ci took two seconds to react, his pupils shrinking, "...What did you say?"
“I said, Jiang Nian is Liu Guang.”
Lu Ci's mouth dropped open: "You, you mean it?"
"Um."
"..."
Six words, yet the sheer amount of information they conveyed left Lu Ci's head spinning.
"So, the reason you're so distraught right now is because..."
"I don't know," Wen Yu was actually a little drunk, but it wasn't showing on her face, and her voice was a little hoarse.
She said that she would keep to herself and there would be no chance for us to meet again.
"I feel suffocated here."
He raised his hand and pointed to his heart.
Wen Yu had never been attracted to anyone, but Lu Ci could tell that Wen Yu was the same person he was that day.
Lu Ci never imagined things would develop this way.
He liked Ni An, Wen Yu liked Liu Guang, and in the end they discovered that they liked the same person.
But this person is different from everyone else.
She didn't care at all about their so-called family background, figure, and appearance that were admired.
