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

Zhou Juzi jogged all the way, even misstepping on the stairs while going downstairs and almost tripping...

However, it was not a serious problem.

However, when the girl arrived at that familiar spot full of anticipation, she did not see what she wanted.

Startled, Zhou Juzi pursed her lips, a feeling of disappointment instantly replacing her anticipation, her mood plummeting like a rollercoaster.

It felt as if the girl's heart had been squeezed tightly.

This was the first time in over ten days that Xia Weichan wasn't waiting for her at that spot...

A hint of grievance flashed across Zhou Juzi's face as she gently scratched her lips with her canine tooth.

"Maybe it was parked somewhere else..."

He comforted himself with these words, then glanced around.

Still nothing...

All that could be seen was a blurry field of vision covered by a layer of mist.

Tears welled up in her beautiful peach blossom eyes...

Like a lost little girl, she stood there wiping away her tears.

She closed her eyes tightly, trying to hold back the tears that shouldn't have welled up.

The girl's sudden tears were due to a significant emotional shift.

And the words Xia Weichan had said to her about "three months later" suddenly popped into her mind, giving the girl a feeling of being abandoned.

Zhou Juzi rarely cries...

But in the last two days, she has shed tears twice because of Xia Weichan.

"oi"

Just then, a woman's voice with a slightly husky tone came from behind. Le Yi had been following her all the way.

I almost couldn't keep up; this guy can really run...

"The boss has something to do today, so he asked me to take you home."

"..."

Zhou Juzi pursed her lips, forcing back her tears, then turned her head, her watery eyes darting left and right, and asked softly:

"What did the cicadas do today?"

"Who knows?"

Le Yi looked at the girl's slightly reddened eyes, her expression somewhat subtle.

He muttered to himself, "Is the boss's girlfriend really that clingy?"

She remembered that at the beginning, although Zhou Juzi was a bit clingy to Xia Weichan, she wouldn't have cried just because Xia Weichan didn't come to pick her up once, right?

"Get in my car, I'll take you home."

.......

In the car, Le Yi would occasionally glance at the expression on Zhou Ju Zi's face.

How to put it...

It was a very disappointed expression, and her fingers never left the hem of her clothes.

Le Yi chuckled softly and sighed:

"Are you really that disappointed that your boyfriend didn't pick you up once?"

"No!"

Zhou Juzi's stubbornness made her subconsciously unwilling to show weakness, and her girlish instincts also made her dislike revealing her vulnerability.

But then, the head she had just raised slowly lowered again.

In a soft tone:

"There is still a little..."

"I just saw you almost cry."

"..."

Zhou Juzi was stunned for a moment.

Her slender fingers finally loosened from the hem of her clothes, then tightened together, and she gently gritted her teeth, stubbornly saying:

"Wind...and sand."

However, the girl immediately regretted saying such childish things.

This is practically the same as admitting it outright, and even more embarrassing.

"Pfft haha~"

Just as Zhou Juzi had expected, Le Yi smiled even more brightly after hearing this.

She eased off the accelerator and laughed:

"That's not convincing at all. I thought you would say, like Tsuru, 'I don't like him that much.'"

"..."

Zhou Juzi became somewhat uneasy; she suddenly regretted getting into Leyi's car.

She might as well have taken a taxi; at least the driver wouldn't laugh at her...

Zhou Juzi averted her gaze and said softly:

Am I being a little...childish?

"That's true."

Le Yi thought for a moment, then said:

"But doesn't that also prove that Xia Weichan takes good care of you? After all, people only act like children when they are in a very safe situation."

"Ah...oh..."

Zhou Juzi reluctantly responded twice; what Le Yi said seemed to make some sense.

After spending time with Xia Weichan, she found herself becoming increasingly prone to excessive emotional fluctuations.

Especially things related to him,

A few days ago, if Zhou Juzi hadn't seen that figure after training, she would have just been a little puzzled.

It shouldn't be like this today, overwhelmed by a strong sense of loss and abandonment.

"That's why I said the brothers Xia Weichan and Xia Weiyu are very similar..."

Le Yi seemed to be reminiscing about the past, a time when Xia Weiyu and Kurijuku Tsuru...

She thought to herself:

"For example, at the beginning, Xiao Hexu was used to riding in Xia Weiyu's car. Then, because Xia Weiyu had something to do, and other people picked her up and dropped her off, she looked very unwilling... but she always stubbornly said that she didn't care whose car she rode in."

Le Yi paused, glanced at Zhou Juzi who was listening nearby, and then smiled:

"But I've never seen Tsuruo cry..."

"what?"

Zhou Juzi was stunned for a moment, then her expression turned somewhat angry. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown, and she said with a hint of resentment:

"Can we not talk about that anymore?"

"Ha ha."

It seemed that teasing the young girl might bring Leyi some joy, but she was still perceptive enough not to dwell on it further, and turned to say:

"Later, after she became famous, she had a dedicated car for her to travel in. At that time, she even asked: Why doesn't Xia Weiyu sit with her?"

"Later... Kurimaki Tsuru became famous... what was Xia Weiyu's attitude towards her?"

Are you curious?

"A little..."

"Xia Weiyu had been pursuing He Xu all along, and even confessed his feelings to him before he died."

"oh..."

Zhou Juzi pursed her lips; comparing the two, she felt a pang of sadness.

It seems Xia Weichan has never expressed genuine affection for her...

Thinking about the different treatment they received in relationships, the girl muttered softly:

"Actually, it's not that similar..."

"At least you and Xia Weichan are a real couple."

"..."

These words made Zhou Juzi's mood even worse...

She stopped talking and reached for her phone in her pocket.

I want to make up for the disappointment I feel...

.......

Are you still busy right now?

This was the first message Xia Weichan received when she returned home.

He glanced at the person who sent him the message...

—Zhou Juzi.

This was the first time the girl had taken the initiative to send him a message.

Although Xia Weichan had said from the very beginning not to bother him...

But considering our goodwill towards each other...

【Goodness Rating: 4】

"ha?"

Xia Weichan's relaxed expression froze for a moment, then immediately changed.

When did this '0' become '4'?!

84?

He clearly glanced at the number after dropping off Zhou Juzi that morning, and the second one was '0'.

Furthermore, there was no interaction between him and the girl afterward. How did he manage to get those 4 points of favorability?

"This is absolutely incredible."

Xia Weichan sat on the sofa, pressing her temples in frustration.

He typed back:

[All done.]

Then, while Azusa Tachibana's screen was still displaying "typing...",

Xia Weichan glanced at Zhu Xuening's favorability again.

——■2

Row,

It should be the sum of Zhou Juzi's favorability divided by two...

"...no?"

We'll officially meet after we've linked our accounts!

42 points is pretty incredible, isn't it?!

One by one, have I tried to win your favor?

Let's not talk about Zhou Juzi yet.

Did he say a single nice word to Zhu Xuening today?

"I..."

Xia Weichan tossed her phone aside.

Headache...
