"Just let nature take its course." Ning Wei said, "Don't always think that he is older than you or anything like that. Just get along with each other normally. If he flirts with you, will you flirt back?"

Sang Zhi was a little depressed and nodded.

"By the way, what does it mean to get worse?" Ning Wei asked curiously, "Do you think the way we got along before was better, or the way we are now?"

Sang Zhi thought about it seriously: "I think recently, it's a bit, I don't know how to describe it..."

Inexplicably, she remembered Sang Yan's "love words that are so rubbish" and felt embarrassed to say them out, so she could only vaguely say: "The original ones were quite good."

After returning home, Duan Jiaxu checked WeChat.

Yuan Lang, whom he had just met on the plane, sent him a friend verification message. He glanced at it casually and exited without clicking the "agree" button.

Duan Jiaxu took a change of clothes, went into the bathroom and took a quick shower, then returned to the room and lay down on the bed to catch up on some sleep.

The cell phone rang at this moment.

Duan Jiaxu looked at the caller ID and picked up the call.

Qian Fei: "Have you arrived in Yihe?"

Duan Jiaxu: "Yeah."

Qian Fei was a little sad: "Once you go this time, how long will it take for us to see each other again?"

Duan Jiaxu laughed and said lazily: "If you weren't married, judging from your tone, I would have thought you had a crush on me."

"What?" Qian Fei said, "I thought you would move faster. When I get married this time, you can bring the girl you like over here so that the brothers can meet her."

Duan Jiaxu: "How can it be so fast?"

Qian Fei complained: "Don't you say you did a good job?"

"..." Mentioning this, Duan Jiaxu raised his eyelids and sat up. He was a little speechless and coughed lightly, "It's better not to mention this."

"how?"

"Why do you think this little girl likes someone so weird?" Duan Jiaxu was speechless until he laughed, "I have never seen such a person before."

"ah?"

"Brother." Duan Jiaxu's eyebrows jumped when he thought of calling Sang Yan brother and Sang Zhi's reaction in the past few days. "Although it's quite interesting, I really--"

"..."

"It feels ridiculous."

"..." Qian Fei said, "Can you please stop tempting me?"

Duan Jiaxu lost his sleepiness, got up, sat in the living room, and took out a pack of cigarettes from under the coffee table. He lit the cigarette butt with a lighter, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's really difficult."

Qian Fei was going crazy: "What!"

"The girl told me about the type I like." Duan Jiaxu chewed on his cigarette with a lazy expression, "I've learned a lot during this time."

Qian Fei said in disbelief: "Are you okay? Why do you imitate others?"

Duan Jiaxu chuckled: "Isn't this a shortcut?"

Qian Fei: "Useful?"

Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows: "It's really useless."

Qian Fei: "What's your plan?"

Duan Jiaxu: "Let's talk about it later."

"Aren't you afraid that this girl will fall in love with someone else?"

"This is not quite normal." Duan Jiaxu twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Just meet a better person."

"Why do you live like a monk?"

"..."

Qian Fei said sincerely: "Can't you just come as a normal person? Is what you learned different from the substitutes? Brother, it's not like our conditions are so bad, why do we still have to please people like this?"

Duan Jiaxu sat up straight and tapped his fingertips to shake off the ashes. He said nothing.

Qian Fei: "By the way, what type is that girl talking about?"

This time Duan Jiaxu didn't hide it: "A male vixen."

"..."

"According to my understanding, it's probably," Duan Jiaxu paused for a few seconds and said leisurely, "a combination of coquettish, dissolute, and shameless."

Qian Fei couldn't help but said: "Isn't this about you?"

"..." Duan Jiaxu choked on the cigarette and coughed a few times, "What are you talking about?"

"Let me ask you something," Qian Fei thought seriously for a moment and said sincerely, "After all, I have never seen the girl you are talking about. Think about it for yourself, is it possible that she is talking about you?"

Duan Jiaxu's expression paused.

"Women always mean what they say." Qian Fei said as if he had experienced it before, "You can't just believe what she says. You have to observe it yourself. She said there is this person, have you seen it?"

Duan Jiaxu put out the cigarette butt and looked thoughtful.

Qian Fei: "I used to be someone's backup when I was in college. Brother, do you remember? The one from the foreign language department came to me as soon as I broke up with my boyfriend. After we got back together, she asked me if I had anyone I liked. She gave me advice.

, I made one up based on her character."

Half a moment.

Duan Jiaxu said: "It's unlikely."

"..."

After a few seconds, he murmured again: "But it's possible."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, my wife called me." Qian Fei said, "Also, let me remind you, you are already like that, so don't do it deliberately."

"..."

"Otherwise it will be a bit too hard."

"..." Duan Jiaxu said, "Wait a moment."

"what."

"Have you told anyone else about this?"

Qian Fei chuckled: "No, it's not too late, isn't it?"

"Stop talking about it now." Duan Jiaxu said slowly, "It's rare for me to tell you something that's on my mind. I always tell others -"

"..."

"It's quite sad."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Duan Jiaxu sat in the living room for a while. He thought about what Sang Zhi said when he was drunk, and began to think about things to go forward.

But it's been a while, and the memory has faded a lot.

He stayed up late last night and got up early today. Duan Jiaxu's temples were tight and a little painful. He stood up and stopped thinking about this matter.

Duan Jiaxu returned to the room, heard his cell phone ringing, and glanced at it again.

I found another friend who verified me, and the note said: I am Jiang Ying.

He covered the phone, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

What woke him up was a series of phone rings.

Duan Jiaxu sat up and saw that the sky outside had darkened. The room was dark, with only the screen of his mobile phone lighting up.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number from Yihe City.

Duan Jiaxu stared at it for two seconds and then picked up.

Jiang Ying's cry instantly rang out from the receiver, as if she had been drunk. She sounded dazed: "Duan Jiaxu, you finally answered my call... I have to use someone else's number to find you."

"..."

"I heard Yuan Lang say that you are chasing a girl... is it true?"

Duan Jiaxu's tone was emotionless: "What's wrong with you?"

"I live like this, why do you pretend that nothing happened?" Jiang Ying said, "I...can I forgive you? We two, we two..."

"Let me ask you something, Yuan Lang said that we are getting married? Did you say that?" Duan Jiaxu interrupted her and said casually, "Is it possible that you want me to marry you?"

Silence fell, after a few seconds.

Jiang Ying whispered: "Isn't it possible?"

Duan Jiaxu's lips curled up and he hung up the phone. He stood up, found a tool, pulled out the phone card, broke it, and threw it into the trash can.

His temples hurt suddenly, and his stomach also ached.

Duan Jiaxu entered the toilet.
