"..."

Sang Zhi groaned, looked away, and nodded dully.

He lowered his head and pondered the meaning of these words.

She thought he had forgotten about it a long time ago, or that he didn't take it seriously at all. Moreover, Sang Zhi never saw him mention the matter of having a girlfriend, nor did she see him bring it to her.

Who was that at the airport before?

Sang Zhi looked at him again and couldn't help but ask: "What about the one before?"

Duan Jiaxu: "Which one."

"That's right." She didn't know if it would be weird for her to suddenly mention something so long ago. Sang Zhi played with her fingers and pretended to ask casually, "I came to Yihe when I was a freshman in high school and the sister who came to the airport with you."

"When you were a freshman in high school?"

"..." Sang Zhi struggled for a few seconds, and could only say something more precise to strengthen his memory, "The time I came here to find my online dating partner."

Duan Jiaxu remembered: "My boss."

Sang Zhi pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and continued to ask dryly: "Then why did she come with you?"

"I didn't know how to drive at that time," Duan Jiaxu couldn't remember clearly what happened three years ago, so he recalled, "And I seemed to have worked overtime all night that day, so I felt a little uncomfortable."

"..."

"When your brother called me, she happened to hear it and took me there." Duan Jiaxu looked sideways at her and added as if unintentionally, "My children are in elementary school."

Sang Zhi's thoughts were a little empty for a moment, and she suddenly remembered the extremely difficult period she had been in, and all the memories that she had sealed away in the box.

Thinking of her deliberate alienation.

Thinking of that secret love that she started unilaterally and ended unilaterally.

Sang Zhi nodded silently and asked absently: "Then why have you never found a partner?"

Duan Jiaxu said casually: "Isn't your brother also looking for him?"

"..." Sang Zhi thought of his roommate's words and said with a complex expression, "Then you can't just be waiting for my brother..."

Duan Jiaxu said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

Sang Zhi whispered: "I just feel weird."

"I didn't have time when I just graduated," Duan Jiaxu said casually, "I have been introduced to several by my boss in the past two years, which is not suitable."

Sang Zhi said oh and didn't ask any more questions.

The plane took off and the stewardess was handing out blankets.

Sang Zhi asked her for one, put it on her head, and pretended to sleep. Her head was tilted to the side of the window, her eyes closed and opened, and then closed again quickly.

Like thinking about something.

Half a moment.

Sang Zhi lowered his head slightly.

The places that she thought were scars now felt as if they had been filled with honey. She pursed her lips hard, and the corners of her mouth hidden in the blanket still curved uncontrollably.

No sound.

The plane arrived in Yihe City.

Before getting off the plane, Sang Zhi heard the man named Yuan Lang ask Duan Jiaxu for his contact information. The two found a place to have lunch, and then Duan Jiaxu sent Sang Zhi back to school.

It was just after one o'clock, and Ning Wei was the only one in the dormitory.

Sang Zhi's dormitory didn't have an elevator and she lived on the third floor. Duan Jiaxu helped her carry her suitcase up to the dormitory and didn't stay long. He greeted Ning Wei politely and gave Sang Zhi a few words.

Leaving soon.

After he left, Ning Wei asked curiously: "In what capacity did he send you here?"

Sang Zhi squatted on the ground, opened his suitcase and started packing his things: "Senior, please."

"..." Ning Wei said, "Are you still an elder?"

Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds: "Actually, I don't know much either."

Upon hearing this, Ning Wei immediately came over and blinked: "What happened?"

"I can't tell the difference right now," Sang Zhi thought for a moment and sounded a little hesitant, "because I feel like he talked like this before."

"ah?"

"But it doesn't seem to be the same."

"Did he say anything to you?"

Sang Zhi stopped and whispered: "He just told me that he hasn't been in love in the past few years. He said he didn't find the right one."

"Wait a minute, has he been in love before?" Ning Wei was shocked, "Isn't it possible?"

"I don't know about that." Sang Zhi said, "I can't ask so many questions."

"Then what do you mean when you say you can't tell the difference?"

"He used to talk like this when I was a kid. For example, he would drive me home, and then he would say why I was laughing secretly, or that I would blush when I saw him." Sang Zhi scratched his head, "He is quite a shameless person.

.”

"..."

"I feel like he's gotten a little worse recently." Sang Zhi breathed out and said slowly, "I can't tell the difference, you know. I feel like I might be too sentimental..."

Ning Wei: "Do you think he might also like you a little bit?"

"No." Sang Zhi immediately denied, "No."

"..."

Noticing Ning Wei's expression, Sang Zhi looked at her for several seconds, then suddenly lost his temper: "Okay, a little bit."

Ning Wei: "Why don't you even dare to say that you have this idea? Your conditions are not bad."

"Because I think it's impossible. Besides, I know it quite well." Sang Zhi said softly, "Because I like him, and because he has this kind of mentality, some of his actions are normal to him.

, I may also misinterpret the meaning."

"..."

Sang Zhi laughed: "I'm quite experienced."

secret crush.

Narcissistic, yet inferior.

"Besides, this relationship is not easy to change." Sang Zhi lowered his eyes and continued to pack his things, "If he was a stranger, I would probably chase him now. If I couldn't chase him, I would probably stop contacting him.

There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Ning Wei didn't quite understand how she felt, so she sighed and asked, "How many years have you not seen each other before you came to Yihe?"

"I feel like we haven't seen him much since the second grade of junior high school." Sang Zhi added, "After the second semester of the second grade of junior high school, he became very busy, and then he returned to Yihe."

"How old were you when you met him?"

"First semester of junior high school."

"Do you think he has watched you grow up, so it's impossible for him to have that thought?"

"Roughly the same."

"If you think so," Ning Wei said innocently, "you haven't seen him much since your second year in junior high school, and we didn't see him again until your freshman year. How can this be regarded as watching you grow up?"

"..."

It seems to make sense.

Sang Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment, so he hesitated and said, "I've seen him several times in the meantime."

"It makes sense." Ning Wei said, "During the summer vacation of my senior year in high school, my dad brought a dog back to raise him. He was very attached to me for a month. When I went back during the winter vacation, he didn't even recognize me."

"..."

"Even a loyal animal like a dog is like this. You have only seen him a few times in the past few years. How can you look like he has grown up?" Ning Wei said, "At most, he is just a brother I met when I was young."

"But he gave me gifts," Sang Zhi said, "and he also usually asked me about my studies."

"Oh." Ning Wei said, "I can barely count myself as a netizen."

"..."

"I'm just saying what I think, just listen. My brother is also in junior high school now. If he has a friend that I know, I will treat him as a child." Ning Wei said, "When he grows up, if he grows up

You must be quite handsome, come and chase me."

Sang Zhi looked at her.

Ning Wei smiled and said: "I'm sorry, it's really possible...hehehehe..."

"Then what do you think," Sang Zhi said eagerly, "what should I do now?"
