Why are you jealous of your roommate?
"Whose news?"
Zhuang Yangbing suddenly asked.
Le Zhengxi came back to his senses.
He coughed lightly and said, "...Xunyun."
"You're almost laughing your face off, comrade." Zhuang Yangbing smiled. "I've never seen you smile like that when you're texting with a girl."
Upon hearing this, Le Zhengxi had no choice but to admit, "...Okay...I do...like him."
"That's fine! But I didn't expect you to actually like boys! So does he like you?" Zhuang Yangbing had just finished asking when he suddenly shook his head and said, "He definitely likes you. The way he looked at you on stage wasn't like he was looking at an ordinary friend at all."
"What kind of look does he give me?" Le Zhengxi asked curiously.
"Well... you may not have noticed, but I watched the offline live broadcast. He has never taken his eyes off you since he came on stage." Zhuang Yangbing recalled.
"...Really?" Le Zhengxi was slightly stunned.
"Yes!" Zhuang Yangbing said with an ambiguous expression, "That look is definitely not innocent! I bet my food for a year that he definitely likes you."
A slight blush appeared on Le Zhengxi's face.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "...Um...Ahem...Okay. But actually, we're not together yet anyway."
"Not together?!" Zhuang Yangbing was surprised.
"Yeah." Le Zhengxi lowered his head in annoyance.
"You're not scared, are you?" Zhuang Yangbing looked at Le Zhengxi's face and hesitated. "...Actually, if it were me, and someone I wouldn't normally interact with suddenly said they liked me, I would definitely think it was some pie-in-the-sky good thing, and then I would definitely think it was fake..."
"That's not the reason..." Le Zhengxi was depressed.
He picked up a piece of coconut chicken with chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and took a bite.
Wei Yunxiu has been telling him with all his actions that he likes him.
If he continued to doubt, it would be a bit ungrateful.
Zhuang Yangbing frowned.
Another table of customers came into the Coconut Chicken Restaurant and sat at the booth next to them.
"...Then I don't understand you!" Zhuang Yangbing said bluntly, "Are you afraid of getting hurt in love?"
Le Zhengxi: “…”
There are reasons for this...
In fact, he just doesn't feel safe. Just like his mother said, he is a little scared of the rich and powerful families.
However, the most important thing was that he didn't dare to face his parents, especially his father.
He didn't know how to explain this to his father without making him anxious.
He was afraid to see his father or mother go to the hospital again.
He never wanted to think about those nightmarish days again.
Le Zhengxi finally sighed and said, "The reasons are complicated. Part of it is because I'm afraid, and part of it is because I don't know how to explain it to my parents. They are quite traditional and can't really accept this. But I don't want to have a relationship like running away. I want to be with Wei Yunxiu openly and honestly."
When Zhuang Yangbing heard what Le Zhengxi said, he choked up.
This...he can't help.
"Enjoy your chicken!" Le Zhengxi picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and gave it to Zhuang Yangbing.
