She was never in a one-sided love relationship.
Zhang Jiye really didn't know why Xu Chuwan disliked him. He went home and sat there thinking for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what wrong he had done.
Zhang Jiye simply browsed through some posts from his high school days, which was his favorite thing to do every day.
While scrolling through the pages, I came across a post about their graduation ceremony after they finished their college entrance exams.
The post also included a picture: Ah! Ah! Ah! I just snapped a picture of a pretty girl's profile! Which class is she in in her senior year of high school? Please let me know.
Zhang Jiye looked at the picture above; it was Xu Chuwan.
How did she end up at his graduation ceremony?
That shouldn't be the case...
If she's at his graduation ceremony, why doesn't she go to him?
Is it that you don't want to see him...?
Zhang Jiye noticed that the camera had captured the backs of two people. He zoomed in to take a closer look—it was his own back.
The girl next to him is his cousin, Zhang Hanyue.
Did she see him standing with his cousin?
Did she misunderstand him?
Did she think... that he had someone he liked?
That's his cousin!
No, I have to explain it to her.
How can I ask her out to explain...?
Zhang Jiye came up with an idea and called Shen Yan, who answered the phone.
"Hey, what's up, Zhang Jiye?" Shen Yan asked.
"Are you free tomorrow?" Zhang Jiye asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Shen Yan said.
"Can you do me a favor?"
"What kind of help?"
"Help me get Xu Chu to agree to meet up with me."
"..."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then a question was asked, "Why did you invite Wanwan out?"
Zhang Jiye's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved as he said, "I know why she hates me now, and I need to explain to her."
Shen Yan said, "Okay, I'll ask her if she's free tomorrow. I'll hang up now."
Zhang Jiye said, "Thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jiye felt a little nervous.
But... why would she think he had someone he liked?
Why did she dislike him because she thought he had someone he liked?
That doesn't make sense.
He does indeed have someone he likes—Xu Chuwan.
In the past six years, he has only ever liked Xu Chuwan.
I still like it now.
I will always love her.
Would she like him...?
Does she have even the slightest feeling of liking him...?
Even if it's just a little bit.
Does she actually like him or not...?
Should I confess my feelings when I explain tomorrow?
Isn't this a bit too fast...?
Never mind, let's talk about it another time.
On the other end, Shen Yan sent a message to Xu Chuwan:
Wanwan, are you free tomorrow?
Xu Chuwan replied instantly:
I'm free, what's up?
Shen Yan typed and sent:
I'd like to ask you out again tomorrow.
Xu Chuwan replied:
Where are we going?
Shen Yan felt a little guilty and replied:
We're not going to the coffee shop, we're going to our usual milk tea shop!
Xu Chuwan didn't suspect her and replied:
Okay, what time tomorrow?
Shen Yan replied:
Around 1 p.m.
Xu Chuwan sent an "ok" emoji.
Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief and sent a screenshot of the chat history to Zhang Jiye.
Zhang Jiye quickly clicked on the picture to look at it.
Zhang Jiye sent a voice message:
Thanks, you're reliable. By the way, don't tell her. I really want to apologize to her. I'll be at the store entrance, just say you're going to the restroom, and then I'll go in and explain.
Shen Yan sent an "OK" gesture.
Zhang Jiye sent her a message:
Tell me, how much do you want?
Shen Yan thought for a moment and replied:
Not much, five...five hundred.
She thought Zhang Jiye would complain about the amount given his temper, but she received the transfer the next second.
Shen Yan quickly accepted the red envelope and sent him a message:
Zhang Jiye, you're really a good friend! Don't hesitate to call me if you ever need anything!
Zhang Jiye sent a single word, "Mm".
The next day, Xu Chu went to the milk tea shop that Shen Yan had mentioned. After seeing Shen Yan, she walked over to the seat next to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan tapped on her phone and asked Xu Chuwan, "What would you like to drink?"
Xu Chuwan thought for a moment and said, "Jasmine milk green tea, please."
Shen Yan ordered two jasmine milk green teas and a double-flavor milk tea for herself.
Xu Chuwan asked, "Why did you order two jasmine milk green teas?"
Shen Yan ordered two cups of jasmine milk tea because Zhang Jiye said yesterday that he also wanted to drink milk tea. When she asked him what he wanted to drink, he said he would drink whatever Xu Chuwan drank.
Shen Yan made up a lie, saying, "My sister also likes jasmine milk green tea, and I'm planning to order another cup to take home for her."
Xu Chu sent a letter.
It's their turn to pick up the milk tea.
After getting the milk tea, Shen Yan said, "Wanwan, I'm going to the restroom for a bit. You can sit here and wait for me."
Xu Chuwan nodded and said, "Okay, come back soon."
After Shen Yan left, Zhang Jiye came in.
Xu Chuwan hadn't expected to run into him here, so she lowered her head and avoided looking at him.
She didn't expect Zhang Jiye to sit directly opposite her and say, "Xu Chuwan, can you let me explain?"
explain.
Does he know why she dislikes him?
She never told Shen Yan why she disliked Zhang Jiye.
How did he know?
Xu Chuwan still wanted to hear his explanation, so she said, "Go ahead and tell me."
After receiving permission, Zhang Jiye did not explain first, but asked her, "Did you go to my graduation ceremony?"
How did he know?
Did he see her?
That's impossible.
Xu Chuwan didn't deny it, just hummed in agreement, and then explained, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not going to see you, I'm going to see... Shen Yan."
Zhang Jiye smiled.
This girl is quite stubborn.
Zhang Jiye began to explain seriously, saying, "You saw another girl next to me and misunderstood me. That girl is none other than my cousin."
Xu Chuwan didn't expect him to explain to her.
How did he know it was because of that?
Xu Chuwan said, "Is she really your cousin?"
Zhang Jiye directly opened his chat history with his cousin in front of him and even showed her what his cousin looked like.
She paused for a moment.
She looks exactly like the girl I saw back then.
Zhang Jiye said with a wronged expression, "Then...can you forgive me?"
Xu Chuwan said, "Let me think about it."
"..."
Still so childish, but... he likes it.
Zhang Jiye said, "Okay, then take your time to think about it."
Xu Chuwan thought for a moment and said, "I've thought about it, um... I forgive you."
Zhang Jiye immediately perked up and said, "Then your first step is to remove me from your blacklist."
Xu Chuwan unblocked him as he requested.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiye didn't have anyone he liked.
Zhang Jiye then smiled.
Xu Chuwan immediately understood something and said, "Did you and Shen Yan plan this out?"
They're quite smart.
Zhang Jiye gave a nonchalant "hmm".
Okay, Shen Yan has also started to conspire with her to deceive her.
When Shen Yan returns, she will definitely give her a good "lesson".
Xu Chuwan thought about the current atmosphere again.
Now seems like a good time to confess your feelings.
But what if Zhang Jiye doesn't like her...?
They finally reconciled, but what if they can't be friends anymore...?
Xu Chuwan struggled with this decision for a long, long time before finally making a decision—she had to give it a try.
She felt that Zhang Jiye wasn't such a petty person; even if they failed, they should still be able to remain friends...
Well, I guess I should at least give it a try.
She didn't want her teenage crush to end without a happy ending.
She would be letting herself down if she did that.
After thinking it over, Xu Chuwan said to Zhang Jiye, "I...I have something to tell you, but let's make it clear first...we can still be friends after I tell you..."
Zhang Jiye agreed, saying, "No matter what you say, we can still be friends, but please don't say anything like we're breaking up!"
Xu Chuwan said, "No... I don't mean anything like breaking off our friendship."
Zhang Jiye said, "Then you speak, I'm listening."
After hesitating for a long time, Xu Chuwan finally said, "I... I like you. It started a long time ago. I don't like you because of your appearance, but because... you always manage to stir my emotions. This... this feeling is what I feel for someone else."
Zhang Jiye was stunned after hearing this.
She liked him too.
Two, feelings, mutual, joy.
Zhang Jiye smiled and said, "Perfect timing. I don't have a girlfriend right now, so why don't you give it a try?"
Xu Chuwan was stunned. She asked him cautiously, "Wh...what do you mean?"
Zhang Jiye whispered in her ear, "It means... I like you too. And... I liked you before you did."
Zhang Jiye continued, "I'm not very good at saying sweet nothings, but I can tell you that I carried you to the infirmary when I saw you fall because I like you; I agreed to complement you because I like you; I celebrated your birthday with you because I like you; and everything that happened between us was because I like you."
Xu Chuwan really didn't expect that it wasn't just unrequited love.
Xu Chuwan said, "I...I need a boyfriend, how about you help me achieve that?"
Zhang Jiye smiled and said, "Okay, I'm honored."
Zhang Jiyue whispered in her ear, "You've never had unrequited love. During the winter break of our second year of high school, you said that no one loved you, but I was one of those who did. Remember, you've never been alone. You still have me."
Xu Chuwan felt like crying.
My teenage crush actually got a response.
She glimpsed the light of day.
She glimpsed her own light.
That light now belonged only to her.
Xu Chuwan tentatively asked, "Then...boyfriend?"
Upon hearing the term "boyfriend," Zhang Jiye couldn't help but smile broadly and asked, "What do you want? Girlfriend?"
Xu Chuwan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to call you."
Shen Yan felt that things were about right between them. When she returned, she saw Zhang Jiye "occupying" her seat and said, "Zhang Jiye! Why are you sitting in my seat!?"
Zhang Jiye raised an eyebrow and said, "It's only natural for me to sit next to my girlfriend."
"..."
Shen Yan noticed that Xu Chu's ears were red and asked, "Are you two together?"
As if showing off, Zhang Jiye casually said, "That's right, we're going in the same direction."
"..."
Okay, the result of helping him is eating "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Shen Yan felt like she had suddenly become a third wheel.
Shen Yan said to Xu Chuwan, "Wanwan, if he bullies you in the future, tell me and I'll beat him up for you."
Xu Chuwan said, "Okay, can you hit him harder when you beat him up?"
"..."
Murder her husband.
Zhang Jiye, standing to the side, was displeased and spoke up: "Girlfriend, how can you be so cruel? Are you trying to murder your husband?"
"..."
Xu Chuwan's ears turned red again.
Zhang Jiye then said to the "culprit," "And you, Shen Yan, how could you corrupt my girlfriend?"
"..."
Shen Yan certainly got to eat a lot of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
