Wu Geng didn't want to argue too much about whether Zhong Yuan was popular or not. Since Zhong Yuan insisted, Wu Geng had no choice but to believe it.

Hmm...well, she still felt that Zhongyuan was being modest. In this world where cuteness rules, cuteness is justice. Wu Geng had a good appearance, otherwise she wouldn't have been selected. It was just because she had been cold-tempered and self-centered since she was a child.

I have never received a love letter.

"Can Hikari help me think about what my friend should do so as not to worsen this relationship?"

How to do it? Of course, reject it firmly and then express your feelings.

"I'm sorry, Na-chan, I already have a crush on you."

"……who is it?"

"Riyaxiang..."

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

"Na-chan, there's nothing you can do if you don't believe it. In fact, my heart has been captured by Hikari a long time ago... I just don't want to deceive you. Na-chan, just give up, you can't get me..."

"..."

Zhongyuan quickly woke up from the delusion. No matter what, she would not despicably trick Wu Geng into making inappropriate choices. It would be harmless to think about it.

"Shixiao-chan, what do you think... of your friend? I think it's a good idea to just drag it on like this." Zhongyuan said.

"Isn't that just an escape..."

"Escape is also a solution if it works."

And what kind of advice do you want me to give you? If I don't secretly cause harm, I'm already broad-minded. You also want me to help you, and then congratulations to the lovers for finally getting married after it's done.

Zhongyuan pretended not to care and glanced at Wu Geng, who was a little disappointed, and thought to himself.

"Then should I do nothing..." Wu Geng said to himself, then suddenly woke up and explained in a panic, "I'm talking about that friend."

Zhongyuan clicked his tongue inwardly, it was really troublesome. It made her feel more relaxed just to talk about the matter directly.

"Shixiao Jiang," Zhongyuan said sternly, "When you like someone, or when you are confessed by a friend, not everything needs to have a period to serve as a break. The love that ends without a cure gradually changes over a long period of time.

When I suddenly discovered the quality of my feelings, the once sweetness did not turn into bitterness, but lost its taste. Before emotions such as 'helplessness' and 'regret' hit me, I had accidentally forgotten it."

"There are so many helpless things in this world," Zhongyuan said.

She was not frightening Wu Geng, maybe because this matter involved Nishino, Wu Geng, and Zhongyuan, so she was a little excited. Although Zhong Yuan liked Wu Geng, he never thought that he would definitely be with Wu Geng.

During the fifth watch together, what she did more was to cherish her current feeling of love.

Action is drawing the distance between each other, but whether it is successful or not is another matter.

She could roughly guess what it would take for two girls—and current idols at that—to be together. "A road full of thorns" was a gentle description.

"But just letting it go is not an option. What Hikari said is not wrong. No one can say for sure how long the feeling of love will last. However, ignoring the problem and solving the problem are completely different things."

"Shixiao-chan, shelving the problem and ignoring the problem are two different things."

"..."

"Although you think that friend's method of putting the problem aside is not worthy of praise, she has already made the initial choice, right? Even if the method is not clever."

Wu Geng remained silent and did not reply. Zhongyuan was very sure that she did not agree with what he said.

You see, this is the fundamental difference between the two. One is more idealistic and the other is more realist.

In the world of Wu Geng, everything has a beginning and an end, and there is a clear cut-off point between the beginning and the end. Once a story has a beginning, it must have a corresponding ending. This is the truth of the universe, the only one that cannot be shaken. And the behavior of escaping is the opposite.

Self-denial, so she tried to avoid such incidents.

Not so with Zhongyuan. She has experienced the helplessness firsthand since she was a child.

The sister who has been with him since he was a child. They sang and danced together on the stage and received praises and compliments from adults. However, people are different after all. Even twins born at the same time have things they are good at and things they are not good at. Being a sister

When she stood in front of her and had already walked a long way, she struggled to accept the reality.

After all, the promise to stand together as a sister group on the most glorious stage is just a childhood joke and cannot be taken seriously.

In order not to be disappointed without permission, she had to cruelly cut off all her thoughts. She would rather be a hard worker through and through, and did not want to be a big fool who believed that hard work would lead to results, and then left the scene bruised and bruised by reality.

The two people's different views on the world and life led to differences in attitudes towards solving this problem.

"Shixiao-chan's friend cherishes the person who confessed to her, right?"

"...Maybe it's because I cherish it so much that I feel restrained and don't know how to respond," Wu Geng said in a low voice, "Habit is really a terrible thing. After two people have been together for a long time, they are afraid of going back to the past.

That kind of solitary life. Although I like to stay at home, I can also be active and passive. I have friends who can accompany me, even if I am alone temporarily, my heart is stable. In the past, this was

Something I can’t even imagine.”

"Shixiao-chan, do you...do you consider me a friend?" Zhongyuan asked with a complicated mood.

"Of course!" She responded in a clear voice without any hesitation.

But, this is also the problem.

Zhongyuan believed that if it were Nishino who asked the same question, Wu Geng would hesitate and not know how to answer. Because in Wu Geng's heart, the label of friend in Nishino was gradually fading away. She was distressed by this and found Zhong Yuan.

discuss.

Friends are not only proof of close relationship, but also a cage that further imprisons feelings. If they do not destroy the iron pillars that surround and block each other's prison door, they can only be inmates looking at each other. For Nishino and Wu Geng

That being said, the same applies to Zhongyuan and Wugeng.

The conversation has almost reached this point, and it will not make any more sense if it is extended any further. Wu changed the topic wisely. But Zhongyuan was not so easy to avert his attention.

Wu Geng is obviously quite sensitive to the atmosphere, but she turns a deaf ear to Zhong Yuan's good intentions and has no special thoughts. Is it because she is emotionally slow or has she never regarded Zhong Yuan as a potential love partner from the beginning?

Both answers, no matter which one, will be a big blow to Zhongyuan.

At the end of this date, the joy gradually turned into suffering. Zhongyuan was a little restless.

Fortunately, the phone call that followed gave her a chance to escape.

"broker?"

"Ah?...Hmm." After coming back from the bathroom, Zhongyuan packed up the small bag and hung it on his shoulder, "Sorry, Shixiao-chan, I'm afraid I have to go there first. As an apology, I paid for the coffee first.

."

"It's okay, it's okay," Wu Geng waved his hand, quickly drank the remaining coffee in the cup, stood up and said, "Let's go back together, it's time for me to leave."

"It may not go smoothly."

"It's only a step if you can walk."

Then the two of them walked out of the cafe side by side. At the second corner of the street, Wu Geng watched Zhong Yuan get into a taxi and leave.

Zhongyuan in the car was watching Wu Geng being pulled further and further away from the car window until he disappeared.

Perhaps she was also hoping in her heart that Wu Geng would be able to sense her own thoughts through Nishino's self-destruction.

After all, nothing is more heart-wrenching than a one-sided relationship.
