The backdrop can also be propped up.

While Jin Youan, who had accompanied her out, was still asleep, Luo Yingying picked up Jin Youan's phone and entered Qin Men's WeChat ID from memory.

After seeing that Qin Men had accepted her friend request, Luo Yingying sent a message to test the waters.

Luo Yingying initially thought there was nothing wrong with sending the message in the way Jin Youan spoke, but after waiting for a while, Qin Men still hadn't replied.

Luo Yingying sent another message, and then a red exclamation mark appeared—indicating that she had been deleted by the other party.

How did Qin Men figure it out? Luo Yingying frowned. He was already familiar with Jin You'an's various ways of sending messages, and there was absolutely no problem.

After typing, press the spacebar twice. This is definitely Luo Yingying. Qin Men looked at the unusual space after the sentence requesting a meeting to discuss things in detail and rolled his eyes inwardly: We've been broken up for months, why is she still bothering me?

Qin Men then went back to watching short videos, occasionally taking a few steps forward with Jiang Qiuyue as they moved with the flow of the crowd.

They finally arrived at the zoo's ticket checkpoint, and Qin Men and Jiang Qiuyue took out their tickets and entered the zoo.

The two of them went to see many animals hand in hand: a sika deer that hadn't molted yet, a panda hiding indoors and refusing to come out, and a kangaroo hopping around.

While watching the kangaroos, Qin Men, with his sharp eyes, spotted a large kangaroo lying motionless on the grass.

Qin Men nudged Jiang Qiuyue and said, "Look, that kangaroo over there isn't moving."

Jiang Qiuyue looked in the direction Qin Men pointed, adjusted her glasses, and squinted to see clearly: "Is that a sculpture?"

"Doesn't look like it, it's still all furry—could it be dead?" Qin Men asked casually.

As soon as Qin Men finished speaking, the kangaroo, which had been lying down, sat up abruptly, its face turned towards Qin Men and Jiang Qiuyue.

"Oh, alive, alive, alive," Qin Men said with a laugh.

Jiang Qiuyue laughed too, and the two of them laughed all the way to the alpaca enclosure.

Jiang Qiuyue bought a carrot, intending to feed the baby alpaca in the enclosure, but was chased by the adult alpaca that had been released.

While laughing, Qin Men waved a carrot to attract all the alpacas that had been released from the enclosure to his side.

Jiang Qiuyue was finally able to feed the alpaca she wanted to feed.

The two went to Ocean Park to watch a show again. The beluga whales were very cute, but unfortunately, they didn't manage to get a chance to interact with them.

Qin Men edited the events of the morning and posted a Weibo post.

Luo Yingying was eating when her phone rang. She opened it and saw that it was a message from the Qin Clan, whom she had secretly followed on Weibo.

They went out to play today. Luo Yingying lowered her eyes, feeling a little angry.

Jin Youan finally woke up. She squinted her eyes, still looking like she was half asleep, and ate the breakfast that Luo Yingying had bought downstairs.

"Yingying, what are you looking at?" Jin Youan asked sleepily.

"It's nothing." Luo Yingying immediately put down her phone and put on a smiling face. "You'an, are you planning to go out with me?"

"Ah, want to go out? Sure, but I slept until noon. Let's make plans tomorrow." Jin Youan seemed a little hesitant.

"No, today only." Luo Yingying said coquettishly, based on the information she had just found on Qinmen's Weibo, "I want to go to the museum today, will you come with me?"

"Museum? What's so interesting about a museum?" Jin Youan scratched his head.

"Didn't the museum recently open a new jewelry exhibition? I'd like to go take a look. Will you come with me, You'an?" Luo Yingying continued to plead.

"Okay, then," Jin Youan said. "I'll make an appointment first."

"Yay, Youan, you're the best to me!" Luo Yingying cupped her face in her hands and smiled charmingly at Jin Youan.

Jin Youan was looking down at his phone making an appointment, unaware that Luo Yingying's eyes didn't actually hold much affection for her.

Luo Yingying couldn't understand it—Jin Youan's current behavior was almost the same as Qin Men's back then, except that Qin Men wouldn't be so obedient to her.

"So why did she change so quickly?" Luo Yingying wondered.

If I meet her this afternoon, I should talk to her as much as possible! Luo Yingying secretly planned. No matter what, I have to figure out what she's doing.

Qin Men, who was slurping noodles, suddenly felt an itch in her nose. She quickly spat out the noodles and sneezed with her face turned outwards.

Jiang Qiuyue saw Qin Men sneeze and asked with some concern, "What's wrong? Are you alright? Did you catch a cold?"

"It's nothing," Qin Men said, pinching his nose. "My nose is just a little itchy, probably from the dust."

"Oh! By the way, what time did we go in?" Qin Men asked.

“It’s okay, we’ll make it in time,” Jiang Qiuyue said. “Our tickets are for 1:50 pm. We can grab a bowl of noodles, walk around the area to digest, and then we can make it.”

"Oh, really? That's fine then." Qin Men stirred the noodles in his bowl and said, "This owner is really honest. Such a big bowl of beef noodles, with lots of noodles and lots of meat."

"It's so much better than what we have at school," Qin Men exclaimed.

“I’ve eaten at this restaurant several times before when I came to the museum alone to see the artifacts, and the owner recognizes me,” Jiang Qiuyue said with a smile. “The owner is a really nice person.”

"Oh, right, Qin Men." Jiang Qiuyue stirred the noodles in her bowl, looked up at Qin Men who was slurping his noodles, and said, "Someone on my WeChat Moments posted a message saying that she was rejected after confessing her feelings."

"You failed to confess? What happened?" Qin Men swallowed the noodles in his mouth and asked curiously.

“That girl is actually an online friend of mine. She and I are in the same situation, so we started chatting together,” Jiang Qiuyue said calmly, fiddling with the vegetable leaves in the beef soup.

"She said that she met a friend, also a girl, during the darkest time of her life. That friend was a very kind person, and she carefully remembered my online friend's preferences and birthday—something that my online friend had never done before."

"Mmm." Qin Men also stopped slurping her noodles and put the end of her chopsticks in her mouth. She felt that the person Jiang Qiuyue was talking about seemed to be a little lacking in love.

However, this wasn't something he could just casually point fingers at, so Qin Men asked, "And then?"

"Then the two of them became friends for many years," Jiang Qiuyue poked a hole in the leafy greens she was picking at, "and the online friend fell in love with her friend during their time together."

"It's the kind of liking that makes you want to become lovers," Jiang Qiuyue emphasized.

"Mmm," Qin Men nodded, "And then what?"

"Then my online friend had a crush on her friend for several years." Jiang Qiuyue finally picked up the cabbage leaf that was almost turned into a honeycomb and ate it.

"Ah," Qin Men responded, feeling the noodles getting cold, and slurped up another mouthful.

Jiang Qiuyue swallowed the piece of green vegetable and then said, "A friend of mine was in a relationship for a while, but the guy wasn't a good person. She was depressed for a few days but then she got over it."

"It's been almost half a year since her friend broke up with her friend's ex-boyfriend."

"My online friend noticed that her friend hasn't dated anyone yet. Plus, her friend takes really good care of her. So, my online friend had the idea of ​​confessing her feelings to her friend."

"And then she got rejected?" Qin Men asked.

“Yes, that’s right.” Jiang Qiuyue said, looking down at the half-eaten bowl of beef noodles in front of her.

"That online friend had prepared everything. She bought flowers and prepared dinner. When her friend came to visit, the online friend confessed her feelings to her friend."

Jiang Qiuyue took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, telling Qin Men, word by word, the scene she imagined Qin Men hearing her confession or rejection.

"My online friend's friend initially laughed it off, asking if my online friend was joking?"

"After my online friend clearly stated that it wasn't true, her friend suddenly stopped."

"Her friend just laughed it off, but every time they ran into each other after that, her friend would pretend he hadn't seen her. Their relationship quickly faded."

"Ah, that should be pretty normal," Qin Men said. "Her friend used to date a boyfriend, so his sexual orientation is most likely male."

"I don't feel uncomfortable seeing lesbians, but I would still be shocked if I were confessed to by them."

“Especially since this person is her friend.”

"But it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the feelings faded so quickly," Qin Men said. "What did her friend do?"

"Let me think," Jiang Qiuyue said, stirring a clump of dough with her chopsticks. "It's probably because her friend has been avoiding her ever since that day."

“Ah! That makes sense.” Qin Men picked up a piece of beef, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. “Perhaps his friend wasn’t planning to stay away, but just needed some time to process this information.”

"After all, if a friend who has been with me for many years suddenly tells me that he wants to be my lover, I'm probably stunned. This information is just too explosive no matter what."

"When did your online friend post that he confessed his feelings and got rejected?" Qin Men asked.

"Yes, yesterday." Jiang Qiuyue lowered her head and stuffed another mouthful of noodles into her mouth. She didn't dare to look at Qin Men's face now, afraid that Qin Men would see through her lie.

“If she’s not feeling well, you can tell her that her friend hasn’t actually rejected her. That friend just needs some time to think more carefully and calmly about the relationship.”

"Before that friend gets the result, she will subconsciously want to avoid your online friend in order to prevent her judgment from being wrong."

"However, I don't know the specifics. If that friend has previously expressed their dislike for homosexuality, then I suggest you find someone else to talk to online."

As Qin Men spoke, he finished the last mouthful of noodles in his bowl.

Jiang Qiuyue remained silent for a while before finally saying, "Mm."
