Isn't That Friend You?

Chapter 35: Isn't that friend of yours yourself?

"Sister Wanjun, isn't that friend of yours yourself?"

Xiuxiu decided to go all out and stop being indirect, asking directly.

Wang Siyi felt a little embarrassed and still didn't look up, just softly humming in response.

Although Xiuxiu had prepared herself mentally, hearing the truth from Wang Siyi's mouth still felt incredible.

Her expression was one of utter shock, her mouth forming a perfect 'O' shape, big enough to fit an egg.

"Sister Wanjun, you..."

"Don't tell Sister Baozhu about this. You just need to know."

Wang Siyi suddenly looked up seriously and said to Zeng Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu understood and nodded. Sister Baozhu was very different from Sister Wanjun when it came to dating, and given Sister Wanjun's personality, she wouldn't compromise.

If the two of them ended up arguing, she'd be caught in the middle, making herself miserable.

Why would she go out of her way to tell Sister Baozhu about this? It would be like looking for trouble.

Besides, the most pressing matter wasn't this. Xiuxiu desperately wanted to know who Sister Wanjun had fallen for and what kind of person he was.

Sister Wanjun's lifelong happiness couldn't be delayed. If this person was a scumbag or a con artist, she'd find a way to make Sister Wanjun break up with him.

"So... do you think that guy likes you?"

Xiuxiu asked uncertainly.

Hearing this, Wang Siyi nodded, then shook her head, looking bewildered.

She didn't know either. Did Li Changle like her? She figured Li Changle probably didn't even know himself. What a dummy.

"He's such a dummy."

Wang Siyi said dejectedly.

Seeing Wang Siyi's expression, Xiuxiu put a hand to her forehead, thinking, Sister Wanjun is really falling for him. It's over, it's over...

"Why do you like that guy, Sister Wanjun? Didn't you say you wouldn't consider marriage until you became a Heavenly Queen?"

"Who can explain these things? I just like him..."

Wang Siyi said shyly, feeling relieved.

Her father might know she liked Li Changle, but she definitely couldn't discuss such matters with him.

Since Xiuxiu knew now, it was better to talk to her about it. Having someone to confide in was good; keeping it all bottled up was difficult.

"So... Sister Wanjun, why do you think you like him?"

Xiuxiu asked, a little puzzled. She'd been wondering about this question ever since she found out Wang Siyi liked someone.

She didn't understand and couldn't figure it out. Why would a fairy like Wang Siyi secretly like a guy? She was a fairy, how could she have a crush on a boy?

"I... he saved me. And when we were in Yangcheng before, he often took care of me. I always made a fool of myself in front of him, but he never laughed at me and always considered my feelings..."

"He wrote songs for me and sang them when I was at my lowest..."

"When I got drunk, injured my foot, or had a fever, he was the one taking care of me. Because of some drunken nonsense I said, he went out at five in the morning to buy me chicken and make me chicken soup..."

"Whatever I asked for, he'd find a way to fulfill it. I've already read his novels before anyone else saw them..."

Xiuxiu watched Wang Siyi as she spoke, recalling memories, her face beaming with happiness.

Xiuxiu felt a pang of envy, her eyes filled with jealousy. She almost wanted to say, "That's all?" but she was truly envious...

Then, she suddenly remembered something.

"What? He wrote songs for you? Then that song, Red Bean, that you showed Sister Baozhu, wasn't it written by him?"

Xiuxiu asked uncertainly. Did Sister Wanjun just say he also wrote novels?

He knew so many things, could he be a middle-aged man or an old geezer?

She had definitely heard Red Bean before and read the lyrics. She just thought the lyrics were too good. Someone who could write lyrics like that usually needed some life experience, right?

"Yes... He also wrote another song, but it wasn't very suitable for me to sing, so I didn't take it."

Wang Siyi nodded and said calmly.

"So... is he very old?"

Wang Siyi glanced at Xiuxiu strangely. Why would she ask such an odd question?

"No, actually, you've met him once."

Although Wang Siyi was curious why Xiuxiu would ask such a question, she still answered. She felt Xiuxiu was more professional than her when it came to relationship matters.

She herself wouldn't think of leaving him for a while to see if he had a place for her in his heart.

So, the more clearly Xiuxiu understood his situation, the better. That way, she could help her strategize later on what to do.

"What? I've met him? When?"

Xiuxiu was greatly surprised. She had met him? But Xiuxiu had no recollection of it at all.

"You forgot, last time I was in Yangcheng, some thugs stopped me, then someone stepped forward to help, and ended up in the hospital..."

"Ah? It was him..."

Xiuxiu suddenly understood, a handsome and refined face flashed in her mind. It was him?

She breathed a sigh of relief. He was handsome, and judging by his looks, he was barely good enough for Sister Wanjun.

She also remembered that he seemed to be living in the apartment that Sister Wanjun owned. Come to think of it, Sister Wanjun was the one who suggested it.

"This is fate. I'm starting to believe in love again..."

Xiuxiu couldn't help but sigh. He was so handsome, so young, and seemed so talented, able to write songs and novels.

Xiuxiu was truly envious of Sister Wanjun; she had turned into a jealous lemon.

Although she had only interacted with Li Changle once, her intuition told her that the handsome young man was likely not a con artist or a bad person.

How bad could someone be who ended up in the hospital for saving a woman he didn't even know?

"What do you think... of him?"

Wang Siyi looked at Xiuxiu, who was murmuring to herself, and then asked proactively when Xiuxiu fell silent.

"Ah? He's a really good person. Sister Wanjun, you're so lucky."

"But I have no idea if he likes me..."

Wang Siyi said with a helpless expression.

"Then does he know that you like him?"

Xiuxiu asked uncertainly. Wang Siyi nodded at first, then shook her head.

If you say he knows, he probably does. She had been so obvious, so proactive.

Acting cute with him, playfully teasing him – wasn't that the kind of interaction couples had?

If you say he doesn't know, he might really not know. She had been so obvious at the airport.

She had even hugged him and told him to think of her once every day, but he hadn't shown any reaction. It was infuriating.

Looking at Wang Siyi, Xiuxiu felt a bit speechless. Did people in love become simpler-minded?

It seemed like the books said so. The author was not deceiving her...

"So, does he like you or not? Sister Wanjun, if he liked you, you should be able to tell."

"I don't know. He's such an idiot. I've hinted so obviously so many times, and he's been completely unmoved."

She got angry just thinking about it.

"Xiuxiu, what do you think I should do?"

Wang Siyi asked, looking lost.

Xiuxiu sighed. Sister Wanjun was going to give herself away for free this time.

Oh well, I'll protect Sister Wanjun's happiness!

"Sister Wanjun, just do what I told you before. Ignore him for a month and see if he actively seeks you out."

"But he just replied to my WeChat message. Should I not reply to him either?"

"Yes! Don't reply for now. See if he actively looks for you."

"But..."

Wang Siyi seemed very hesitant.

"Oh, stop with the 'buts,' Sister Wanjun. Put your phone away for now. You do your thing, whatever you need to do. If he doesn't contact you for several days, it means he doesn't have you in his heart at all. If he doesn't have you in his heart, why bother with him? You just do what you need to do..."

"Okay..."

Wang Siyi reluctantly put down her phone, no longer looking at it.

An hour later...

Wang Siyi had never felt an hour drag on so slowly. Her eyes never left the phone she had put down.

Xiuxiu secretly thought that Wang Siyi couldn't hold out. She felt helpless. Indecision leads to defeat, Sister Wanjun.

Yangcheng, Xingfuli Residential Area.

Li Changle saw that Wang Siyi hadn't replied to him for over an hour and found it a bit strange. This woman was truly odd. She asked him to chat, but then she didn't reply...

Li Changle sighed. Forget it.

He opened the WeChat chat window and thought for a long time, not knowing what to send, so he simply sent a question mark.

"Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, that idiot replied!"

Seeing her phone light up, Wang Siyi quickly and excitedly waved her phone in front of Xiuxiu, not even bothering to read the content.

Xiuxiu covered her face. Wang Siyi's image of aloofness, built over three years in her presence, had collapsed in a single day.

Love could indeed make people blind, and it had taken away her former Sister Wanjun.

"Don't get so excited, Sister Wanjun. Let's see what he said first."

"Oh, oh, right, right."

Wang Wanjun quickly opened her phone, glanced at WeChat with a smile, and then...

Her smile gradually disappeared.jpg.

The smile on her face instantly froze. In her chat with Li Changle, she only saw a question mark.

"?"

Her frozen face puffed up angrily.

"What does he mean by sending me a question mark? Is he crazy? He's making me so mad!"

Wang Siyi looked at Xiuxiu helplessly. Xiuxiu also felt speechless. Was this guy a straight man? She had never seen a guy send a girl a question mark.

It was unbelievable. Sister Wanjun was also unbelievable. Both of them were so unbelievable. Thinking about it, they were quite a good match.

Xiuxiu nodded. She finally understood why Wang Siyi liked Li Changle. They were kindred spirits.

"What should I do? How would I know what to do? I've never been in a relationship before, what should I do?"

Xiuxiu also looked troubled. She was just a theorist; her practical skills were worse than Sister Wanjun's. At least Sister Wanjun had someone she liked.

If she knew how to chat with guys, would she have been single her whole life, solo for twenty years?

"How about... Sister Wanjun, you send him a question mark back and see how he reacts?"

Xiuxiu said hesitantly.

Wang Siyi didn't hesitate. She picked up her phone and sent two question marks, one more than him.

If he dared to send three question marks back, she wouldn't record the song anymore. She'd go back to Yangcheng tomorrow and beat him up.

Seeing the two question marks Wang Siyi sent, three question marks slowly appeared above Li Changle's head.

What did this woman want?

"What are you doing?"

Li Changle stopped sending question marks and sent a message directly.

"Nothing much."

Wang Siyi replied quickly, almost instantly.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing much."

They chatted back and forth like this. Xiuxiu looked at Wang Siyi and Li Changle's chat history.

A black line instantly appeared on her face. Even like this, Sister Wanjun could chat with him with great interest?

Seeing Wang Siyi playing with her phone and grinning foolishly, Xiuxiu felt she was beyond saving.

"So dating makes people stupid. Even the cool and aloof Sister Wanjun can't escape this rule."

Xiuxiu muttered to herself, watching Wang Siyi and Li Changle's awkward conversation and foolish smiles.

"Then I should probably not date in the future. It's too scary."

Xiuxiu shook her head. Sister Wanjun hadn't even started dating him yet; she was still in the crush stage.

It was already this ridiculous. Who knew what other ridiculous things would happen if they got together.

"It's really a headache."

However, if someone wrote songs for her and cooked for her, she would probably be moved too. Maybe she would be even worse than Sister Wanjun and just give in immediately.

Xiuxiu hadn't expected that Li Changle, such a young man, could write a song like "Red Bean."

Earlier, while Sister Wanjun was waiting for Li Changle's reply, she had also told Xiuxiu that the very popular online novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was written by him.

Looking at Sister Wanjun's proud expression, it was even prouder than if her new song had won a Golden Melody Award. It was incredible.

However, she was still shocked. She had naturally read "Legend of Sword and Fairy." At the time, everyone online was discussing the book.

So she went to take a look and was immediately hooked, unable to extricate herself, engrossed in following the updates every day. She even cried when the finale came out.

She never expected that this novel was written by him. It was truly unbelievable.

He was clearly a young man around her age, yet he wrote such beautiful songs and such captivating novels. Sister Wanjun's taste was indeed sharp.

She glanced enviously at Wang Siyi, who was still grinning foolishly. She had listened to Sister Wanjun talk about Li Changle all night.

She probably understood what kind of person he was now. She had a hunch that these two would eventually get together.

One was a tungsten alloy steel straight man, and the other was actively giving herself away. They were a match made in heaven. If they didn't get together, it would be against natural law.

"It's nothing special. What's so good about it? You can live without it too."

Xiuxiu, turning into a jealous lemon, said sourly and went back to her room. She couldn't stand seeing Sister Wanjun's foolish smile anymore; she felt provoked.

Li Changle chatted with Wang Siyi for half an hour, then scrolled up his chat history and realized that they had actually been making awkward conversation the whole time.

His expression stiffened. He was so happy while chatting so awkwardly.

Is he sick?
