Rong Xingyu instinctively held his breath.
Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the door from outside.
"Is this restroom broken? Why is the door locked? Is someone inside?"
"Don’t tell me someone is doing something in there? Oh, come on, it’s a public place."
The person muttered and then walked away.
Rong Xingyu trembled all over and snapped back to reality.
His whole face turned completely red.
Seeing him like this, Ding Yixin knew he had achieved the effect he wanted.
He raised a hand, touched Rong Xingyu’s hair, and said with a smile, "Don’t worry about what I said just now. Let’s go out together."
Rong Xingyu: ...
In the end, he couldn’t even remember how he ended up following behind Ding Yixin when they left.
But one thing was clear, Rong Xingyu absolutely did not forget what Ding Yixin told him.
Instead, ever since they came back from the golf course, he had been acting very strange.
Qian Zhijun who sat beside him had already noticed that Rong Xingyu had been dazed for days.
And today, he even saw Rong Xingyu spacing out during class for the first time ever.
Qian Zhijun almost lost his jaw in shock.
He finally couldn’t hold it in and secretly asked Rong Xingyu in private.
"Xiaoyu, what’s wrong with you lately?! Did something happen?"
"No, nothing."
Rong Xingyu bit his lower lip.
But when he saw the look on Qian Zhijun’s face, the kind that clearly said Do you think I’ll believe that? he was speechless.
Was he really acting that obvious?
These past few days, every time he thought about what Dr. Ding said that day, his heart felt tangled up like knots.
Every night before sleep, he would toss and turn for a long time before he could fall asleep.
Nothing is wrong with what Dr. Ding have said.
He also knew he had no reason to argue against it.
But why did his heart feel so unhappy? Why did it feel so heavy and stuffy?
Qian Zhijun saw Rong Xingyu covering his own chest and his eyebrows tightening a little looking sad and lost.
Qian Zhijun couldn’t help scratching his head.
His bestfriend right now looked exactly like he himself did back when he first liked Yue Yeqiao, until he saw her laughing and talking with a few guys from the basketball team.
But Rong Xingyu was good looking.
When he made this kind of gloomy expression, he only looked heartbreakingly beautiful.
Qian Zhijun thought of how he used to weigh over 180 pounds back then, looking like something no one would want to look at.
His whole body shivered in disgust just from remembering it.
Still, Qian Zhijun wasn’t sure if Rong Xingyu was actually troubled by love.
But then he thought of Zeng Youzhen.
Girls definitely knew these things better, right?
So after Zeng Youzhen listened to the short story that began with I have a friend, she hesitated for three seconds and then said:
"Xiaoyu, you’re... ah no, your friend is jealous, right?"
Jealous?
Rong Xingyu’s mouth opened a little, but he said nothing.
He only blinked his eyes.
Zeng Youzhen saw the way he looked and thought he was trying to pretend to be cute and avoid answering, so she started listing things one by one with her fingers.
Maybe it was because Rong Xingyu already felt guilty inside, but every point Zeng Youzhen mentioned matched him perfectly.
And from his expression, Zeng Youzhen knew she was absolutely right.
Love was always a struggle of wanting to claim someone.
Possessiveness didn’t equal love, but possessiveness was one of the clearest signs of love.
Of course, there was also the possibility of having excessive possessiveness, but Zeng Youzhen believed Rong Xingyu wasn’t the obsessive type, so she ruled that out quickly.
Finally, Zeng Youzhen slapped the table and declared with certainty.
"Xiaoyu, you like that person."
Her words hit Rong Xingyu’s ears like spring thunder.
His mind went blank and buzzing loudly.
He didn’t even notice that Zeng Youzhen had exposed his terrible excuse and directly used you directly.
He didn’t hear anything she said after that.
The four words "you like that person" were like another flash of lightning tearing across a pitch-black night sky.
Maybe it was the same lightning from that night on the island, cutting through the storm, lighting up the bedroom where the two of them had spent the night together.
It sliced straight through Rong Xingyu’s messy thoughts and in that moment, his mind became clearer than ever.
Rong Xingyu was always proactive in every other part of his life, but when it came to feelings, he was extremely passive.
When it came to emotions like "liking someone," he was as clueless as a child.
But without a doubt, he was a genius.
He only needed someone to point something out to him or give him a little push and suddenly everything became obvious to him.
Maybe he had been avoiding it subconsciously all along.
Now, Rong Xingyu finally faced his own heart.
Yes, he liked Dr. Ding.
Yes! Maybe even earlier, long before he realized it, he had already liked Dr. Ding.
Zeng Youzhen saw Rong Xingyu’s face slowly turning red, little by little, until it became as bright as a ripe persimmon hanging from a tree.
She knew it! She knew there was something going on!
For some reason, seeing Rong Xingyu like this made people want to tease him more.
So Zeng Youzhen leaned closer and lowered her voice.
"So, how is the progress between you and that person? Is it a one-sided arrow or a double-sided arrow?"
As she spoke, she even held up her two thumbs and pointed them toward each other.
Rong Xingyu asked, "What is a one-sided arrow?"
"Oh come on! I mean, how does he feel about you? Does he like you?"
Zeng Youzhen’s instinct told her that person was absolutely not simple.
But Rong Xingyu thought for a moment, then shook his head.
