"Zhiji, what brings you here?"

Song Zhiji shifted his gaze from Su Heng and Chen Cuo, and smiled at Liang Qing, "I've finished dealing with things and am flying back to see if I can make it in time to have lunch with you. Luckily, you haven't left yet."

Su Heng was a little sullen.

Given Liang Qing's close relationship with Song Zhiji, she's probably going to stand them up and go out to dinner with Song Zhiji.

Chen Cuo keenly sensed Su Heng's emotional change and sighed silently in his heart.

That idiot, we still have to rely on him.

Chen Cuo smiled at Song Zhiji and said, "Senior Song, the senior sister has made an appointment with us to have lunch together."

Song Zhiji glanced at him, then looked at Su Heng beside him. Seeing that he was in low spirits, she knew something was wrong.

He had heard Liang Qing say that Su Heng had asked her out last time not only because of the magazine issue, but also because he apologized to her.

They have reconciled.

He was a little worried when he first heard about it.

But during his time with Liang Qing, he hadn't heard her mention Su Heng or hear anything about Su Heng contacting her, so he gradually put his mind at ease.

But upon closer inspection today, it is not so.

If Su Heng no longer had any improper thoughts about Liang Qing, then why did she feel disappointed after seeing him?

Song Zhiji really wanted to pull Liang Qing away right now, but Liang Qing had obviously promised Chen Cuo first, and doing so would make things difficult for Liang Qing, so he held back.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Chen Cuo pressed on, "Senior, let's go."

Logically, he should have invited Song Zhiji along, but for Su Heng's sake, he had no choice but to offend Song Zhiji.

Although he knew Liang Qing would probably invite Song Zhiji along, he had to show Su Heng that he supported him.

Just as Chen Cuo had expected, Liang Qing called Song Zhiji.

Although Su Heng was unhappy that Song Zhiji had joined the team, it was still better than Liang Qing leaving with him.

The fact that Liang Qing didn't go with Song Zhiji means that he wasn't that important.

Thinking this way, he felt much better.

Chen Cuo looked at the "powerful opponent" in front of him, and then at the "self-indulgent player" standing next to him who was only having internal struggles in his mind.

The little voice inside me is pounding the floor frantically.

Brother, you better stand up straight!

Chen Cuo felt he should offer some advice to Su Heng, so he suggested, "Senior, you and Senior Song can ride in one car, and Su Heng and I can ride in the other. I'll send you the address, and we can meet up when we get there."

Song Zhiji was naturally delighted with this arrangement and even found Chen Cuo more agreeable.

Su Heng was different; when he saw Liang Qing get into Song Zhiji's car, his face immediately darkened.

The one who received his silent attack was, of course, his driver and good friend Chen Cuo, who was in the same car as him.

Chen Cuo waited at the traffic light, knowing the answer already, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Su Heng snorted coldly, "What are you doing?"

Chen Cuo laughed and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Why did you make Liang Qing and Song Zhiji ride in the same car?

Su Heng really wanted to ask, but he swallowed his words back just as he was about to speak. Asking like that felt a bit like he was jealous.

Looking at the smile in Chen Cuo's eyes in the rearview mirror, he knew that Chen Cuo was deliberately forcing him to say it.

What are you doing?

He told Chen Cuo last time that he didn't like Liang Qing anymore, so why didn't he believe him?

Whether out of shame or anger, he turned his face away and refused to look at Chen Cuo.

As Chen Cuo watched the traffic light turn green, he said while turning the steering wheel, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Su Heng rested his chin on his palm and said irritably, "What are you kidding me for? Who amused you?"

"Alright, stop sulking," Chen Cuo said seriously. "I sent them away because I have something important to tell you."

A sudden thought flashed through Su Heng's mind, and he realized that Chen Cuo wanted to say something to him.

He said hesitantly, "Then just tell me."

"Su Heng, brother, let me tell you something serious. If you really like Senior Liang, you can't continue like this."

Su Heng felt a little wronged after hearing this.

He's not arrogant anymore, and he should be considered polite now.

The way Chen Cuo is talking makes it sound like he's in a bad situation right now.

He asked, somewhat annoyed, "What's wrong with me right now?"

"What's wrong with you now, acting like you're mute?" Chen Cuo said irritably. "Didn't you see how Song Zhiji treated the senior just now?"

Su Heng began to recall what had just happened.

Song Zhiji opened the car door for Liang Qing and fastened her seatbelt, showing great consideration throughout.

But there's nothing special about that; he's opened the car door for Liang Qing before.

Thinking of this, Su Heng felt a little more confident and replied to Chen Cuo, "I've opened car doors for my senior before too."

Chen Cuo: "..."

Chen Cuo almost laughed out of anger. "Big brother, please, please straighten up!"

"Didn't you see how proactive they were? They even made a special trip from out of town just to have lunch with you. And you? You don't even dare to invite someone to have lunch with you."

Su Heng felt a little wronged, "She has a very good relationship with Song Zhiji, but not with me."

"It would be so embarrassing if I got rejected."

"You still have a sense of pride!" Chen Cuo laughed in exasperation. "Brother, haven't you noticed why they're treating you and Song Zhiji differently?"

Are you afraid of being rejected? Aren't they afraid too?

"No, that's not the point..." Chen Cuo was almost completely confused by his words and stammered for a long time.

After a while, she finally sorted out her thoughts and said bluntly, "The reason why he has a good relationship with Song Zhiji is because he takes the initiative. The reason why he doesn't have a good relationship with you is because you either speak with barbs or remain silent."

Su Heng was truly hurt by what his good friend said.

But Chen Cuo was right.

Su Heng could only manage to say, "Although, but, that's too hurtful of you to say. I'm not that bad, am I?"

Seeing him with his head drooping, Chen Cuo touched his nose and comforted him, "Actually, you're not bad under normal circumstances."

Su Heng raised his drooping head slightly.

"However, compared to Senior Song, he is far inferior."

The difference is too great, too great, too great...

These four words seemed to replay countless times in Su Heng's ears, causing his slightly raised head to droop completely again.

Chen Cuo realized he had spoken his mind when he saw Su Heng lower his head again.

He quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "It's not that you usually lose to Senior Song, it's just that you really lose to Senior Liang by a lot when it comes to dealing with her."

"Actually, you should be more proactive when pursuing a girl, especially with such a strong rival. You need to be extra careful..."

"Let me say something you'd like to hear: you're just as good-looking as them, and your family background is just as good..."

"It's just that her personality is so bad, she really needs to change it..."

Chen Cuo, who had never been in a relationship, talked on and on for half an hour.

Su Heng, listening to the "relationship coach" Chen Cuo's advice, was in a mood that fluctuated between praise and criticism.
