Ji Siyuan thought that love was a boring thing, and he didn't need it.
However, Chi Chan disregarded her own injury and insisted on dragging her to see the so-called scene.
However, Ji Siyuan could not sense any romantic atmosphere at all. The ambiguous and flirtatious words and the intimate touch between men and women made Ji Siyuan frown.
Naturally, Chi Chan's so-called "love enlightenment" course ended in failure.
But Ji Siyuan didn't come away empty-handed. He discovered that one of his only two friends from childhood—Ye Zijing—had a dual personality, and even more surprisingly, Ye Zijing actually liked him?
However, he never developed any feelings for Ye Zijing other than friendship or familial affection, like that of a sister.
So he confronted Ye Zijing about their relationship. Ye Zijing was heartbroken, but thankfully she didn't disappoint him, and they remained friends.
Soon after, Ji Siyuan realized that he had drawn his conclusion too early.
Ye Zijin is the mastermind behind putting pressure on Chi Chan in all aspects.
Ji Siyuan knew without much thought why Ye Zijin did this: his recent romantic rumors with Chi Chan.
Driven by complex emotions, Ji Siyuan agreed to Shu Jia's request and joined the Chi Chan Video Account team.
There was another old friend in the small team—Zhuo Zhiyuan. He was still the same as when he was a child, a loud-voiced little tyrant, and even his chubby, round body remained the same. The only change was that Zhuo Zhiyuan's gaze towards him was no longer kind and friendly, but rather filled with inexplicable resentment.
Ji Siyuan knew that this guy was still holding a grudge.
But it doesn't matter. He joined the team mainly out of guilt towards Chi Chan and wanted to make some amends.
After all, Chi Chan was oppressed by Zi Jin because of him, which was an undeserved misfortune for him, and he bore secondary responsibility.
However, after joining the small team, Ji Siyuan did not expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
Following witnessing Chi Chan's multifaceted personality, Ji Siyuan also observed her seriousness and dedication in managing her video account. She handled any unexpected situation with composure and calm reflection…
All of these things made Ji Siyuan look at Chi Chan in a new light. He felt that Chi Chan was very similar to himself in how he handled things, and that they were the same kind of people.
He dislikes people who start making a fuss and acting like headless flies whenever something happens, a typical example being Shu Jia.
Ji Siyuan thought to himself that he hadn't made a mistake in joining this small group; it was actually quite interesting!
Ji Siyuan had never experienced this feeling of fighting together before; he was used to doing everything alone.
But now, the feeling of five people working together to find solutions and accomplish something seems pretty good too.
For the first time in his life, Ji Siyuan became interested in something.
For Ji Siyuan, high school life was no different from before, but because he joined the Chi Chan group, he had more things that interested him, and time seemed to pass much faster.
During the final sprint of their senior year of high school, a decision made by the team left Ji Siyuan feeling somewhat lost. Due to the academic pressure on Chi Chan and the others, the daily operation of the video account was becoming increasingly difficult. Moreover, after the college entrance examination, everyone might be in different universities, busy with their studies or other things. In short, for various reasons, Chi Chan and the others unanimously decided to sell the account that was at its peak.
Although Ji Siyuan felt it was a pity, he eventually agreed.
He knew that the college entrance examination was a major turning point in life. Unlike him, Chi Chan and the others needed to put in 100% effort to achieve their desired results.
Furthermore, since everyone in the small team is gone, what's the point of him running that video account all by himself?
Ji Siyuan finally realized that what he was interested in was not the video account itself, but the group of people who were running the video account together.
He thought that this was different from the way he had become friends with Zhuo Zhiyuan and Ye Zijin when he was a child. This was true friendship!
Ji Siyuan was very fortunate that he joined Chi Chan's group at the right time and made these good friends.
With the college entrance examination approaching, Ji Siyuan disagreed with Gu Sirou for the first time in his life. He wanted to take the exam with a few friends, but Gu Sirou felt it was unnecessary.
In the end, Gu Sirou did not change his mind, and he went to take the college entrance examination.
The test paper was easy for him, but listening to his classmates discussing the questions, the exam, and where they would go after the college entrance exam...
In an instant, Ji Siyuan felt that his life, which had always been gray, was gradually becoming colorful and no longer the monotonous and boring one he had always been.
But soon, this colorful life will become just a memory!
If Gu Sirou's future plan for him goes as expected: after the college entrance examination, he will be arranged by Gu Sirou to study medicine abroad.
Now that Ji Siyuan has the idea of 'not following the route Gu Sirou has planned for him', perhaps staying in China is not necessarily a bad choice, instead of going abroad.
If Ji Siyuan's thoughts were only somewhat wavering at that time, then after the graduation trip, his thoughts completely changed.
An ordinary graduation trip, but an extraordinary night.
Whether it was the alcohol that night that was too intoxicating, or Chi Chan that night that was too captivating, Ji Siyuan couldn't remember. He only remembered that when it was his turn to play the game, looking at the small piece of paper that Chi Chan was holding in her lips, Ji Siyuan suddenly didn't want to lose.
It's just a game.
Ji Siyuan told himself.
In the end, he did not lose the game, but he lost his heart to Chi Chan.
When Ji Siyuan sobered up the next day, he realized what he had done to Chi Chan while he was slightly drunk the night before.
But his first thought wasn't to apologize, but to take responsibility.
He thought that he had been frivolous and disrespectful to Chi Chan while drunk, and he should act like a gentleman and take responsibility for her.
At this moment, Ji Siyuan had never deeply considered why, when the person opposite him was Chi Chan, he could kiss her without hesitation, completely disregarding his usual fastidiousness—
He had never deeply considered why, when the person opposite him was Chi Chan, his first reaction was to take responsibility, rather than to apologize or find various excuses to cover it up—
Without giving it much thought, his offer of 'responsibility' was directly rejected by Chi Chan.
"Don't easily say the word 'responsible' to someone because of a game."
Chi Chan's words of refusal kept replaying in Ji Siyuan's mind.
Ji Siyuan wanted to say no, he didn't say the word 'responsible' lightly, but he couldn't figure out why he was so sure he didn't say those two words lightly.
And—Chi Chan gave him no further chance to explain.
Ji Siyuan could only stand there, stunned.
