Chapter 239 Want to Talk to Girls
Zhu Jinzhao, who was walking ahead, heard this and asked without even turning his head, "What did Brother Li say?"
Shi Jing unlocked her phone and opened WeChat.
He replied, "I wish you both the best. I hope you and Shi Jing can stay together happily. Being in love is a joyful thing, so you must be happy every day."
"No, I feel like something's off about Brother Li's blessing."
Li Weiwan's blessing message seemed normal, but the more Shi Jing thought about it, the more something seemed off.
"What do you mean by 'dating is a happy thing, and I hope you can be happy'? Is Brother Li worried that I can't make you happy?"
"Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao stood at the top of the stairs on the third floor, turning around in confusion. "Does Brother Li mean that?"
She didn't recognize it at all.
“He has it!” Shi Jing took a long stride and crossed the stairs in just three steps.
“Chao Chao, that’s what he meant.” He hooked his arm around Zhu Jinchao’s shoulder and dragged her back to her room.
"Smack!"
The door was gently closed, and an assistant wearing black-rimmed glasses walked up to Li Weiwan with a heavy file bag in his hand.
"Brother Li, the director sent over the script. Do you want to read it now?"
Li Weiwan stared at her phone for a few seconds before replying, "Put it on the table first, I'll look at it later."
Her voice was slightly cold, suggesting she wasn't in a good mood.
The assistant nodded, replied "Okay," and placed the file bag on the table beside him.
"Brother Li, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now."
"Go ahead." Li Weiwan's gaze remained fixed on his phone screen, and he didn't look up once from the moment his assistant entered until he left.
"Click!"
A crisp click of the lock followed a moment later. Li Weiwan took a deep breath and finally mustered the courage to reply to Zhu Jinzhao's message.
—I'm glad you're happy. Five days of the seven-day separation period have already passed. See you on Monday.
Wishing you a swift reply today: See you Monday, Brother Li.
Li Weiwan: Hmm.
That concludes his conversation with Zhu Jinzhao.
He exited the chat interface and instead opened Zhu Mingyue's WeChat.
His chat with Zhu Mingyue stopped half an hour ago. He still hasn't replied to the message Zhu Mingyue sent: "She's with Shi Jing."
It's not that I'm too busy to reply, it's that I don't know how to reply.
Zhu Mingyue seemed to sense his feelings and tentatively sent him another message.
—Brother Li, are you alright?
"Buzzing—"
The sound of her phone vibrating brought Li Weiwan back to her senses. She composed herself, smiled, and typed a line of text in the chat box.
—I'm fine. I just sent Jinzhao a WeChat message, and she admitted that she and Shijing are together. I also sent them my blessings.
Zhu Mingyue: Is this blessing... proper?
Li Weiwan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
—Of course I'm serious, what are you worried about?
Zhu Mingyue did not reply, but only sent a screenshot of the chat.
Li Weiwan opened the screenshot and found that it was his chat history with Zhu Mingyue over the past few days.
Zhu Mingyue: Brother Li, every time you chat with me, eight out of ten sentences are about Chaochao. Even if I'm slow to react, I can still understand what you mean.
...
Li Weiwan stared at her phone in silence.
Zhu Mingyue: Brother Li, it's okay, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Li Weiwan sighed.
—I don’t feel ashamed, I’m just worried that it will cause trouble for Jinzhao.
Zhu Mingyue: Chaochao is such a simpleton. Unless you confess your feelings to her, she'll never know you like her. Since she doesn't know, there's nothing to worry about.
Li Weiwan: Hmm, that's true.
Zhu Mingyue: Brother Li, can I ask you a really gossipy question?
Li Weiwan guessed what she was going to ask. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she still answered frankly: Go ahead and ask.
Zhu Mingyue: When did you start liking Chaochao?
Li Weiwan thought for a moment: When we first did a live stream together, I was attracted by her cuteness and sincerity.
Zhu Mingyue: Oh... So what Brother Li likes is Chaochao's cuteness and sincerity?
Li Weiwan: Not entirely. I was first attracted by her cuteness and sincerity, and then I discovered that we were really on the same wavelength. We have similar personalities, the same little quirks, and similar senses of humor. It seems like we were born to be compatible. Being with her makes me feel comfortable and relaxed all over. I don't feel pressured or nervous at all.
Zhu Mingyue: Oh, I see. I understand how Brother Li feels. But there's something I don't know if Brother Li has heard of.
Li Weiwan: What did you say?
Zhu Mingyue: Two people who are too similar are actually not suitable to be together.
Li Weiwan frowned: What?
Zhu Mingyue: You feel you're on the same wavelength as her because she's so much like you. This resemblance will only bring you a fleeting sense of novelty. Once the novelty wears off, you'll feel like you're facing another version of yourself. You have all her strengths, and you also have all her weaknesses. As a result, boredom, annoyance, and irreconcilable conflicts will inevitably arise.
Zhu Mingyue: Brother Li, do you understand what I mean?
Li Weiwan's heart tightened, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Boredom, tedium, and irreconcilable conflicts will all arise in succession...
Zhu Mingyue's words kept flashing through his mind, and his temples throbbed several times before his muddled consciousness instantly cleared.
--I see.
He typed the sentence with slightly trembling fingers and sent it to Zhu Mingyue.
Zhu Mingyue first replied with a smiley face, and then spoke.
—Brother Li is a smart man; it's good that he understands.
Li Weiwan: Thank you for telling me all this. I've always felt that I like Jinzhao, but I've never thought about this liking in more depth.
Zhu Mingyue: It's not too late to think about it now.
Li Weiwan: Hmm.
Zhu Mingyue: Li Ge is so outstanding, he will definitely find the perfect match.
Li Weiwan finally smiled.
—Thank you, you will too.
Zhu Mingyue: ...I don't want this thing.
Li Weiwan: Hmm?
Zhu Mingyue: I'm allergic to men, and I never want to, and will never, date a man in my life.
Li Weiwan: So you plan to stay single forever?
Zhu Mingyue: Not necessarily. Although I don't plan to date men, I can choose to date women.
Li Weiwan: This...
Although somewhat surprised, he accepted Zhu Mingyue's idea in just a few seconds.
—That works too. Two pretty girls together are a feast for the eyes.
Zhu Mingyue: Haha, just kidding. Whether or not to date a girl depends on fate.
Li Weiwan: That's true. Whether you're a boy or a girl, I'll support you no matter who you end up dating.
Zhu Mingyue: Thank you, Brother Li. Remember to keep our chat today a secret!
Li Weiwan: Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut.
