After their confessions were rejected, they regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Training ended, on the way back,

Xia Weichan was driving, but he was quieter than usual and checked his phone more often.

Every time they stopped at a red light, Zhou Juzi would watch him take out his phone from the side and glance at it.

After watching it, put it down, and then repeat the same action at the next intersection...

Xia Weichan's absent-mindedness made Zhou Juzi inexplicably uneasy.

The girl's brows were furrowed, and she kept thinking about whether she hadn't performed well in today's training and disappointed Xia Weichan.

Or is it because you looked at his phone without asking?

He clearly remembered that he was in a very cheerful mood that afternoon…

Could it be something else?

His gaze shifted from Xia Weichan's face, his beautiful peach blossom eyes blinked, and he stared blankly at the roof of the car.

She glanced again at the bird feathers hanging in front of the car, and finally, Zhou Juzi's gaze fell on her own hands...

Her hands are naturally long and slender, with delicate wrists and well-defined joints. Although they can't compare to the smooth, well-maintained arms in the video, they're still very beautiful...

The girl gently stroked the faint calluses on the tip of her index finger, formed from years of playing the guitar.

Her gaze drifted back to Xia Weichan's hands gripping the steering wheel.

There was no trace of playing the guitar...

Zhou Juzi found it strange. Judging from her performance at the time, Xia Weichan was very good at playing the guitar, but there was no trace of her playing the guitar on her fingers.

Could it be because I haven't played it for a long time?

The fact that she knew nothing about Xia Weichan was causing the girl increasing distress.

Zhou Juzi didn't know where this trouble came from, but she was just very annoyed.

It's like a kitten scratching around...

This feeling is awful, but if I were to ask Xia Weichan, her answer would most likely be the same as it was this afternoon.

Don't ask so many questions.

"Um—"

Xia Weichan's "indifference" made the girl increasingly restless and uneasy.

A muffled groan escaped Zhou Juzi's throat.

She wanted to attract Xia Weichan's attention so that she could steer the conversation in the direction she wanted to ask once the other party spoke.

But the other person seemed to be thinking about something else.

Even after returning to university, Xia Weichan didn't pay much attention to her...

Watching the car gradually drive away and disappear completely from sight.

The unease in my heart felt like a weight was hanging down on me, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

Feeling dejected, the girl returned to her dormitory and pushed open the door.

The next moment, Liang Na's voice rang out.

"Oh, the young couple is back from their date again."

Ever since Zhou Juzi started dating a so-called "boyfriend," Liang Na teases her every time she comes back.

The girl's "boyfriend" is very mysterious.

After all, in Liang Na's memory, Zhou Juzi was never the type to date boys, let alone skip class to go on a date.

Girls are very gossipy, and she really wanted to know who could date a girl like Zhou Juzi.

But every time I asked, there was no follow-up.

This piqued Liang Na's curiosity.

I originally wanted to tease her a bit more, but then I saw the obvious anger on Zhou Juzi's face.

Liang Na shut her mouth in time and asked in a low voice:

"Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"

"No…"

"Then why are you angry?"

Liang Na asked cautiously, afraid of adding fuel to the fire.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Juzi was stunned for a moment. Was she angry?

"Really... huh?"

She frowned; only then did she realize...

The tightness and stuffiness in my chest after getting off the bus was actually from anger.

"I think I really am angry..."

"It's written all over their faces..."

That's an idiot...

Liang Na silently scoffed to herself, then asked:

"You two had a fight, didn't you?"

"..."

Zhou Juzi shook her head. She was just sulking on her own. Xia Weichan wasn't even paying attention to her, so how could it be called a conflict...

She sighed, having no desire to talk to Liang Na any longer, and was just about to wash up and go to bed when...

"Hey, hey, hey, don't run away yet."

The girl, who was in a bad mood, heard Liang Na's confident voice, and at the same time, her clothes were gently tugged at the shoulder.

"I'm a bit curious, so I came over to chat. I have some experience in this area."

"..."

Zhou Juzi pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then sat down on Liang Na's bed.

She hesitated before speaking:

"I don't know why, but when he brought me home today, he didn't say a word and ignored me..."

"Um?"

Liang Na raised an eyebrow, her eyes seemingly filled with disbelief.

Looking at Zhou Juzi's flawless face and her perfectly proportioned figure,

What's the situation with her boyfriend? How can he tolerate her giving him the silent treatment?

"He wants to sleep with you, and you won't let him?"

"?"

Zhou Juzi's eyes widened, then her face turned bright red, and she frantically shook her head in denial.

Xia Weichan has never revealed those kinds of thoughts to her. Even if he had, he would have done it long ago, and it wouldn't be now...

"That's not how it works, it's so strange..."

Zhou Juzi felt a little wronged. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. It seemed that she hadn't done anything to offend Xia Weichan today.

Even if it was something she was reluctant to do, like debuting next week, she still agreed to Xia Weichan's suggestion.

To be honest, looking at his phone...

Indeed, it seemed that after that, Xia Weichan remained silent and lost in thought, but she didn't show any sign of disgust towards her.

Even if their preferences are discovered, it's not some kind of perverted fetish.

Moreover, Zhou Juzi didn't mind at all; she even took the initiative to reach out and rub his hands after scolding him.

"Actually, I don't know either..."

Looking at Zhou Juzi's expression, Liang Na said helplessly:

"Your 'boyfriend' can't be a gay man who's on his period today, can he?"

"He's a man..."

"If you don't say anything, how am I supposed to analyze it?"

"..."

Zhou Juzi looked conflicted, twisting her hands together, then irritably rubbing her hair, finally muttering under her breath:

"I don't know him at all... he doesn't tell me anything."

"If that's what you're saying, I don't know either..."

Listening to Zhou Juzi's complaints, Liang Na looked helpless. What's so secret about having a boyfriend? They're together all the time, why would she feel ashamed to tell her friends?

"Tell me what you've been doing with him lately?"

"...Practicing guitar."

It seems Xia Weichan didn't emphasize that she shouldn't reveal her trainee status.

I didn't want to cause him trouble by saying anything recklessly before...

Zhou Juzi hesitated for a moment, then drew Liang Na's bed curtains and whispered:

"I recently passed an audition at a talent agency, and my boyfriend works there too."

"Oh? No wonder..."

Liang Na looked surprised, then suddenly realized that she had been skipping classes to train during the day recently.

"Then why don't you just ask him...why?"

"I…"

Zhou Juzi lowered her head, her gaze drifting to the side, her canine teeth lightly brushing against the corner of her lips, and she stammered:

"Even if I asked, he might not be able to tell me, and he really doesn't like me asking him why..."

"...?"

Seeing the other party's humble and ingratiating manner, Liang Na felt that this was unprecedented. This guy really still didn't know how to use his advantages.

Liang Na sighed, "With you standing there, do you really need to try so hard to please others? It's clearly that man trying to please you, isn't it?"

Zhou Juzi simply shook her head silently:

"He's different..."

"..."
