The three of them watched nearly every work their company produced. At first, it had been to spot audience complaints and make improvements, but after spending so much time together with Su Ruo and Zhao Qinyin, it had become more of a habit than a continuation of its original purpose.
When the three of them were together, Chu Yu and Su Ruo would act in front of Zhao Qinyin. Chu Yu hadn't felt there was anything to it then, but now, he really did feel awkward!
Chu Yu wasn't the innocent young man he'd once been. He was twenty-three now, and the fact that Zhao Qinyin liked him no longer made it too awkward for him to be around her, but he was certainly uneasy.
After recognizing his own feelings, Chu Yu admitted that he'd liked Zhao Qinyin both in high school and now. How could he not feel secretly pleased that someone like Zhao Qinyin liked him? If she gave up on him one day, he'd definitely feel lost. But if he thought about it rationally, Chu Yu couldn't consider only himself in everything.
His situation with Su Ruo and Gu Yan was already impossible to untangle. If things naturally progressed further with Zhao Qinyin, Chu Yu was already in enough of a mess as it was. He didn't mind things getting even messier, but it was different for Zhao Qinyin. She had other options; there was no need for her to throw herself into his tangled affairs!
