Xu Qizhen had his own convictions, too.
But it was also because of his sister's attitude...
He had never told anyone else about it.
He wasn't the sort of person who liked talking about his personal life.
Besides, he knew that his insistence on this matter was childish and made little sense.
He could pretty much predict how people would react if he told them.
And those clearly weren't the responses he wanted.
So he had never brought it up with anyone.
That was, until recently, when his sister told a few strangers about it first.
He hadn't expected to be so fated to meet one of them, Student Xiao.
They'd run into each other time and again.
Student Xiao had helped him a lot, too.
And when it came to the matter he cared about, Student Xiao had been very understanding.
He hadn't laughed at him.
Nor had he looked at him as if he were strange or unbelievable.
That put him at ease.
Now that Student Xiao had asked...
He had no more reservations.
Student Xiao... was probably the first person he could confide in about his thoughts on this matter.
He was actually quite glad.
Sometimes, when something had been bottled up inside for too long, you wanted to talk to someone about it...
Especially when nothing had come of it...
Now that he had this opportunity, he didn't hesitate...
Mostly because, after these few encounters, Student Xiao had managed to establish himself as someone very reliable in his eyes.
"Has this affected your life?"
Xiao Xiao raised his eyes.
The rain seemed to be letting up a little.
He found it amusing.
Maybe if they talked a little longer, the rain would stop?
Xu Qizhen froze for a moment.
He shook his head instinctively.
