Pei Zeyan has recently felt that something is off between him and Wen Zhao.

Since the last fashion gala, his WeChat chat with Wen Zhao has resumed.

But... how should I put it...

It has recovered, but not completely.

He sent messages to Wen Zhao, and although Wen Zhao replied to each one, her replies were not enthusiastic.

Sometimes he would send several messages in a row, Wen Zhao would only reply with one message, which was only a few words or just an emoji.

You could say he's not enthusiastic, but then he'll proactively send him messages.

Sometimes it's sharing photos of the scenery on set, sometimes it's sharing pictures of delicious food; it's mostly photos.

And not every day, but every few days.

This lukewarm attitude left Pei Zeyan quite frustrated.

Even the first thing I think about when I wake up every day is whether I will receive a photo of Wen Zhao today.

Then, Pei Zeyan realized something was wrong.

Ever since Wen Zhao started sending him photos from time to time, he's been living like he's opening a blind box every day, wondering if he'll finally get Wen Zhao's photo today.

For no apparent reason, I've developed a sense of anticipation for each new day?

But if a day passes and no photos are received, this inexplicable sense of anticipation turns into a feeling of disappointment.

Something's wrong! Something's really wrong!

Pei Zeyan didn't know how Wen Zhao was doing, but he felt that if things continued like this, he would run into trouble sooner or later.

Just as Pei Zeyan was staring blankly at a picture of the film set that Wen Zhao had recently sent, an advertisement suddenly popped up on his phone.

Are you feeling helpless due to communication breakdowns? Are you at a loss because you can't understand someone's heart? Are you frustrated because you don't know how to express your emotions? Don't worry, don't give up. I am your emotional support system, your happiness consultant. I will use the most scientific psychological analysis to provide you with one-on-one professional solutions, helping you say goodbye to emotional turmoil and rediscover your radiant self!

Seeing the incredibly energetic advertising slogan, Pei Zeyan inexplicably clicked on the ad link.

As soon as I clicked on it, the link automatically redirected to WeChat and turned into a contact card to add me as a WeChat friend.

Pei Zeyan thought for a moment and then clicked the friend request button.

The other party accepted the request instantly.

WeChat nickname: Happiness Expert

Before Pei Zeyan could react, the message arrived.

[ Happiness Expert: Hello, are you experiencing relationship problems?]

Pei Zeyan immediately replied with a message.

Pei Zeyan: I guess so!

[ Happiness Expert: Okay, no problem, don't worry, I'm a professional, I can definitely solve all your problems!]

[ Happiness Expert: What is your main concern right now?]

Although Pei Zeyan felt that this " Happiness Expert " seemed unreliable, he still decided to give it a try, just in case it really worked!

Besides, with online communication, who knows who is who! That's how it is, so it's easier to tell the truth.

[ Pei Zeyan: Here's the thing, I have a friend, really just a friend, at least I only consider him a good friend.]

[ Pei Zeyan: But it seems he doesn't think that way!]

[ Pei Zeyan: He said he likes me!]

[ Pei Zeyan: We're both guys! How could he like me? I'm totally straight! There's absolutely no way we could be together!]

[ Pei Zeyan: I think I've explained it very clearly to him, but I still feel like something's off!]

[ Pei Zeyan: He told me he didn't want to just be friends with me. If we were just friends, he wouldn't be friends with me anymore!]

[ Pei Zeyan: But I really think it's great that we're just friends! He said why can't he just be friends with me!]

Pei Zeyan sent several messages in a row, and after talking for a while, he found that the other party hadn't replied to a single word, so he asked:

[ Pei Zeyan: Why aren't you saying anything?]

[ Happiness Expert: Oh, it seems you have a lot to say. I'll wait for you to finish.]

Pei Zeyan: "..."

[ Happiness Expert: So what's your problem? It's that you don't want to be friends with him, but he's still bothering you, which is making you feel very distressed, right?]

[ Pei Zeyan: No, no.]

[ Pei Zeyan: I only wanted to be friends with him, but he didn't want to be friends with me anymore, and then he even stopped replying to my WeChat!]

[ Happiness Expert: Huh?]

[ Happiness Expert: Excuse me, just to confirm, you just said that your friend likes you, but you don't like him, right?]

[ Pei Zeyan: Yes, is there a problem?]

[ Happiness Expert: Oh, no. It's just that your description sounds a bit like you like him, but he doesn't like you.]

[ Pei Zeyan:?????]

[ Pei Zeyan: How could that be! Don't talk nonsense! I'm straight! Straight! My sexual orientation is perfectly normal! I only see him as a friend!]

[ Pei Zeyan: I just don't want to lose a good friend for this reason!]

[ Happiness Expert: Honey, sexual orientation isn't a problem! Many people think they're straight until they meet their true love.]

[ Pei Zeyan:????]

[ Happiness Expert: The fact that you don't want to lose this good friend shows that he/she is very important to you. Imagine if it were someone else, would you still want to be friends with them?]

A probing question Pei Zeyan stunned for a long time; he was dumbfounded.

Ah, this...

What if it were someone else?

If it were someone else confessing their feelings to him, saying they liked him, and... and even kissing him...

Oh my god, no, no, just thinking about it makes me sick!

Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!

Just thinking about it makes me want to go to a temple to pray for good luck!

But why doesn't he feel disgusted if the object of his affections is Wen Zhao?

No way????

No way!!!!!

Could he really be gay?

Does he really have a problem with his own self-perception?

[ Happiness Expert: Are you still there?]

[ Pei Zeyan: I'm still here.]

I have mixed feelings.

[ Pei Zeyan: I have another question!]

[ Pei Zeyan: Then why did he stop replying to my messages later? It's not that he didn't reply at all, it's just that he only replied sporadically! In short, he wasn't as enthusiastic as before.]

[ Happiness Expert: If I'm not mistaken, he's probably trying to hook you up.]

Pei Zeyan:??? What do you mean?
