The daily life of a crazy female supporting character trying to redeem herself.

The subtle interactions between the two of them were actually very discreet; even if someone else witnessed them, they would only think it was a coincidence.

Yan Su, who was bored and kept staring at them, didn't think so, because once might be a coincidence, two or three times could also be considered a coincidence, but so many times was absolutely impossible.

Yan Su could almost certainly conclude that the two had an unusual relationship, and were most likely lovers.

With this conclusion, Qin Zhouyu's overreaction no longer seems so strange.

He was probably trying to show his loyalty to the girl he liked, but it was a pity for the girl next to him who had just been talking to Qin Zhouyu, who had become an innocent part of his game.

Yan Su had satisfied his curiosity, so he stopped observing the two of them.

Listening to the speech on the podium, I dozed off and gradually fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already dusk, and there were only a few people left in the conference room.

He stood up, walked out of the conference room, looked at the sky, and decided to go to the grove for a smoke.

As he entered the grove and was about to take out a cigarette from his pocket, he accidentally stumbled upon Qin Zhouyu and the girl meeting in the woods.

The girl walked over and patted Qin Zhouyu on the shoulder, who was sitting on the grass, and said with a smile, "Have you been waiting long?"

Qin Zhouyu pulled her hand and made her sit on the grass next to him, where his coat was placed on top. He said, "No, I just arrived too."

Yan Su stood under a tree not far behind them, and could see very clearly. Because the grove was so quiet, he could even hear what they were saying.

Yan Su figured that since they had already met, they would probably leave soon, so he sat down against the tree, planning to light a cigarette after they left.

Yan Su heard the girl teasing him: "Why did you talk like that when someone asked you a question?"

Qin Zhouyu's ears turned red, and he stammered, "I didn't think much about it, I just said it like that. You know, I'm not very good at talking."

Then the girl's slender hand climbed up Qin Zhouyu's neck, rested on his shoulder, gently pinched his reddened earlobe, and teased, "Are you afraid I'll get jealous?"

"No, I was afraid you'd think I..." Qin Zhouyu stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence, his face flushed with urgency, as if afraid of upsetting the girl.

Seeing how nervous he was, the girl stopped teasing him and laughed, "Okay, okay, I was just kidding, don't be nervous."

Qin Zhouyu grasped her teasing little hand, his face flushed, and his tone carried a hint of grievance, "You just love making fun of me."

The girl grasped his hand and coaxed, "Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. But in the future, when people ask you normal questions, you can't answer like that anymore. It's so embarrassing for them."

Qin Zhouyu nodded obediently, "I understand. I will think things through before replying in the future."

Yan Su listened for a while, and seeing that they still hadn't left, he was about to get up and move to another place when the two people in front of him stood up first, so he didn't move.

To everyone's surprise, the two of them not only didn't leave, but suddenly started kissing.

It wasn't intense; in fact, it seemed rather immature.

Yan Su should have left, but for some reason, he stared blankly for a long time. Fortunately, Qin Zhouyu and the girl didn't kiss for long before they left hand in hand.

Even after they left, Yan Su was still somewhat stunned. Their kiss was unlike anything he had ever seen before. He used to think that kissing was dirty and vulgar, but why did the two of them look so innocent?

The two of them opened a new door for Yan Su's understanding of desire, making him think for the first time in his life: perhaps not all kisses and touches are dirty.

It was because of witnessing this scene that Yan Su no longer limited his understanding of desire to the chaotic relationships he had seen so far.

He began to read books about relationships between men and women that he had previously avoided, and was willing to re-understand this relationship.

He learned from the book that relationships between men and women are not simply based on pure primal instincts, nor are they limited to the kind he despised.

Qin Zhouyu and Liang Qing showed him what a healthy relationship between the sexes is like, shining a pure light into his filthy world.

For a period of time, Qin Zhouyu's relationship with Liang Qing supported his belief that there is more than just desire between people, and that relationships between men and women can also be based on genuine feelings.

Although Yan Su didn't quite understand why the two of them were hiding their relationship, he could tell from the subtle clues that their feelings for each other were very strong.

Yan Su and Qin Zhouyu were in the same major, so he saw him almost every day at school.

Although he and Liang Qing were not in the same major, they would occasionally meet because they took the same few elective courses.

Through his observation, he discovered that although they wore different styles of clothing, they dressed in the same style every day.

He discovered that whenever the two of them were in the same classroom, Qin Zhouyu would always sit diagonally behind Liang Qing and secretly watch her when no one was looking.

He discovered that Liang Qing's notebook would sometimes appear on Qin Zhouyu's desktop, and whenever Qin Zhouyu went to play ball, Liang Qing would appear in the stands.

They never spoke a word in public, yet their lives were inextricably linked.

But the good times didn't last long; within a year, the light dimmed.

Liang Qing betrayed Qin Zhouyu.

It was in the same grove of trees, at dusk, and he stumbled upon it again.

However, the characters are no longer Liang Qing and Qin Zhouyu, but Liang Qing and Song Zhiji.

Song Zhiji sat on the grass, letting the lazy sunlight shine on his face. He propped his face up with one hand, lost in thought.

Just as Yan Su was about to turn around and leave to find another place, he suddenly heard footsteps. Looking up, he saw Liang Qing.

He found it strange that Liang Qing, who was clearly dating Qin Zhouyu, would meet another man in such a secluded place as the grove.

At first, he didn't think of the two of them in that direction, assuming there was some other reason.

At that time, Yan Su still believed in the love between Qin Zhouyu and Liang Qing.

The next second, Yan Su saw Liang Qing pat Song Zhiji on the shoulder and ask, "Have you been waiting long?"

Song Zhiji wanted to take her hand, but for some reason he restrained himself. He smiled reservedly and said, "Just arrived."

Yan Su's pupils contracted. How similar the scene was, how similar the words were, only the male protagonist was not the same.

Yan Su calmed himself down and told himself to stay calm. Liang Qing and Song Zhiji's current interactions were not yet too far off.

But then, Yan Su couldn't even calm down.

He saw Liang Qing reach out and pick up a fallen leaf from Song Zhiji's head, and he saw Song Zhiji's ears turn red as a result.

He also saw Liang Qing touch Song Zhiji's ear after throwing away the leaves, and heard her chuckle softly and say, "Why are your ears red?"
