"Brother Xincheng, are you tired?" Di Yu was being ridiculously attentive.
Zheng Xincheng hurried far ahead, trying to put some distance between himself and Di Yu.
"Brother Xincheng, why are you running? I still wanted to chat with you." Di Yu followed him.
Zheng Xincheng: ...
"Seriously, what do two grown men like us have to chat about?" Zheng Xincheng rolled his eyes so hard they almost disappeared into his head.
Di Yu chuckled. "There's plenty to talk about. Like, when was World War I? When was the People's Republic of China founded?"
"Don't bring up prohibited topics. We could get banned," Zheng Xincheng warned dutifully.
Despite his usual fearless attitude, Zheng Xincheng was still very cautious when it came to topics like these.
Di Yu thought that made sense. Since they couldn't talk about broader issues, then...
"When did we first meet?" Di Yu asked expectantly.
Zheng Xincheng: ???
"I'm honestly speechless. We're not dating, so why are you asking about all these little details?" Zheng Xincheng raised his voice.
Hearing the commotion, everyone instinctively glanced their way.
"Keep your voice down. Now everyone thinks we're having a lovers' quarrel," Di Yu said suggestively.
Zheng Xincheng slowly took a breath.
"From now on, stay away from me." Zheng Xincheng quickened his pace.
But who would have thought...
Zheng Xincheng accidentally tripped.
"Careful!" Startled, Di Yu hurried forward to steady him.
"Are you okay?" Di Yu asked anxiously.
Zheng Xincheng: ...
"I'm a grown man. What could possibly happen to me?" Zheng Xincheng was speechless. He had simply been caught off guard and nearly fallen, letting out a startled cry.
Even if he had actually fallen, he would have been perfectly fine.
"Good, then." Even now, Di Yu's hand was still on Zheng Xincheng's arm.
As luck would have it...
