"My classmate," Zhang Yang could only say in a low voice. After speaking, he pulled Ding Weiwei behind a large tree by the roadside.
"Why weren't you afraid of the crowd just now?" Ding Weiwei's chest heaved, her anger growing stronger. "Classmate? Same class?"
"No, not from the same department," Zhang Yang replied, holding back his frustration.
"How did you get to know someone from a different department?"
"Once, she fainted from heatstroke, and I saved her. There's really nothing between us..."
"Nothing? Then why is she reacting so strongly? She's got a crush on you! I've seen the way she looks at you!"
"Actually, I know she likes me a little, but I haven't shown any interest in her..."
"You haven't shown interest? Just playing hard to get?"
"…"
"Speak up! You're usually quite talkative!"
"I've said everything that needs to be said; it's just a misunderstanding!" Zhang Yang's patience seemed to have reached its limit.
"Alright then, I'll ask you one last question. Consciously tell me, have you ever liked her? Even just a little bit!"
Zhang Yang sighed. "I do have a bit of affection for her, but it's natural to appreciate beauty. Some things can't be controlled..."
Zhang Yang had not finished speaking when Ding Weiwei turned and walked away. "Hey, I'll take you back," Zhang Yang said as he hurried after her, grabbing her arm.
"Let go, I know Yanjing better than you do!"
"I won't let go!"
Ding Weiwei surprisingly laughed in anger. "Zhang Yang, this is a big issue. You need to understand one thing first: love is selfish. I was a bit angry just now, and perhaps I was being irrational, but I suggest we both calm down for a while and then meet to analyze the problem specifically, okay?"
After saying that, Ding Weiwei gently removed Zhang Yang's hand and walked away alone.
Zhang Yang stood there, thinking about how mature she had become. However, the problem was indeed with him; Chu Ruoxi's beauty had captivated him several times. Moreover, it wasn't just Chu Ruoxi; he had also harbored inappropriate thoughts about Zong Lingxu.
For a man, perhaps having multiple partners would be the most enjoyable outcome, but for a woman, she only wants to be the one and only.
Zhang Yang lit a cigarette and silently walked along the roadside for a long time in the cold wind.
He didn't know when his phone rang. Zhang Yang quickly took it out to see that it was Chen Xiangyu calling.
"Buddy, you've done a great job keeping things under wraps. Is that girl your girlfriend? Ruo Xi seems to have developed feelings for you. After I caught up with her, she cried. You need to think about what to do; it's better to face it head-on than to prolong the pain. You need to make a decision quickly!" Chen Xiangyu said.
"I've never told Ruo Xi that I like her," Zhang Yang sighed.
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't hold back. But I know your character and that you wouldn't do anything out of line. However, being indecisive in matters of the heart ultimately harms both yourself and others!" Chen Xiangyu's tone was serious. "I think you at least need to tell Ruo Xi the truth. We're at a café; I'll call you back after I use the restroom. You should come over." After that, Chen Xiangyu provided the address of the café.
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and realized that Chen Xiangyu was right, so he took a taxi to the café.
As he approached Chu Ruoxi, he noticed that her eyes were still red.
"What are you doing here?" Chu Ruoxi stood up to leave, but was stopped by Chen Xiangyu, who comforted her and encouraged her to sit back down.
"I want to explain the misunderstanding," Zhang Yang said as he also took a seat.
"Go ahead," Chen Xiangyu prompted from the side.
"The girl you saw earlier is my girlfriend," Zhang Yang said briefly.
"Is that so? What does that have to do with me?" Chu Ruoxi replied, taking a sip of her coffee and looking down.
"I never told you I had a girlfriend because seeing a beauty like you did make me a bit distracted. But Ruo Xi, I never expressed anything to you; our interactions have always been within the bounds of friendship. This is my fault, but it’s also a misunderstanding," Zhang Yang continued.
"So it’s my fault for being overly sentimental then. I mentioned twice that you were my boyfriend—once to Zong Linghan and once to Qi Tian," Chu Ruoxi said as she slammed her coffee cup down.
"I'm sorry," Zhang Yang said sincerely.
"Zhang Yang, I just want to ask you one question: Did you ever like me?" Chu Ruoxi suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhang Yang.
Why does she keep asking the same question? Zhang Yang felt a wave of frustration inside.
Zhang Yang sighed again and repeated the answer he had given to Ding Weiwei: "It's indeed a bit..."
Silence, an awkward silence.
"Uh, I need to go to the restroom," Chen Xiangyu quickly stood up and walked out.
"If you had to choose right now, who would you choose?" Chu Ruoxi lightly sniffled.
"I don't know," Zhang Yang took another sip of coffee.
"Don't know?!" Chu Ruoxi's voice suddenly rose a few notches.
"Enough! Do whatever you want!" Zhang Yang, who had been suppressing his feelings, suddenly erupted, acting like a rogue. "I'm a normal man; I see beautiful women and have feelings for them. Can I control that? Just ignore me; am I forcing you to like me? Why make things difficult for yourselves?"
Saying this, Zhang Yang stood up and walked straight toward the door. Chen Xiangyu immediately rushed forward to block him. "Buddy, don't be impulsive; let's talk this out!" He then leaned in and whispered in Zhang Yang's ear, "She's a girl; can't you be a little more accommodating?"
This statement left Zhang Yang stunned, standing there unsure whether to leave or go back, feeling somewhat lost.
Suddenly, Zhang Yang felt someone hugging him tightly from behind.
"I love you!" Chu Ruoxi pressed her face against Zhang Yang's back and said clearly but softly.
The once quiet café erupted into applause; some onlookers had already stood up and shouted loudly, "Get together, get together!"
"Dammit!" Chen Xiangyu cursed inwardly, "Isn't it chaotic enough?"
Zhang Yang seemed to have figured it out. He gently pried open Chu Ruoxi's hand and turned to support her shoulder. "Ruo Xi, can we go back and talk slowly?" His voice was unusually gentle.
"Mm." Chu Ruoxi appeared to cheer up again, even blushing as she nodded and walked back to her seat with Zhang Yang. Chen Xiangyu went to the restroom again.
"Ruo Xi, actually I'm not Zhang Yang..."
Before Zhang Yang could finish his sentence, Chu Ruoxi shivered in surprise. "Let me finish." Zhang Yang shook his head and continued:
"My abilities and mindset have unexpectedly improved rapidly; sometimes I feel like an old man. But my emotions are still those of a passionate youth. My girlfriend is my first love, and I know I should treat this feeling as unique and nurture it. However, when I see your beauty and sense your pure Truth and Goodness, I just can't control myself."
"So I say I don't know what to do; I really don't know what to do. Perhaps my girlfriend is right; we should all think calmly about this, then meet again to analyze the problem in detail."
After listening, Chu Ruoxi seemed to ponder seriously for a moment before suddenly saying something completely off-topic:
"Your girlfriend must be Leo; you're an Aquarius. The chances of you two ending up together are slim unless something unexpected happens."
