"..." From the beginning, when the uncle mistakenly thought that the person he liked was a girl, he actually no longer had the right to speak.

But the uncle still continued to sell his oden chicken soup.

"Before this, if you were not taking the initiative, I guess that you were doing things that only a fallback guy would do in those television show right?"

Fuck... Uncle, you even know the meaning of fallback guy. China's internet culture sure is profound and widespread.

The uncle continued to logically express his own views: "You must have helped other people and solved a lot of their problems to move them right? To let other people think that you are a warm person right? Let me tell you, women nowadays like the overbearing type!"

"..." I am a president, occasionally overbearing too. Could it be that I am following the storyline of a supporting male actor? At the same time, Zhang Heng recalled the matters after the reunion with Gu Zhun seven years later.

Solving the employment problem, clarifying innocence, helping his sister out of a predicament... That route was pretty similar to a supporting male actor storyline. Usually the main actor and actress would go to different places and play unrestrainedly before pledging their love and sealing it with a kiss at the end.

Moreover, other than confessing twice (the first was at the kabedon at the hotsprings, the second was just now in that unexpected silence), they had not even held hands or kissed...

Gu Zhun's earlier sentence was "If you don't like me and don't want me, then you won't treat me well?"

Zhang Heng could feel Gu Zhun's insecurity from it.

Gu Zhun did not trust me? Did he think that my confession was just a joke?

Zhang Heng lowered his head. There were few meatballs still left in the bowl. Zhang Heng was not in the mood to continue eating.

Gu Zhun looked at the clock and found out that it was quite late, yet Zhang Heng had not returned. He was very worried and thought that something had happened to Zhang Heng.

Gu Zhun did not care about the cold nights of late summer nor early autumn. He casually put on the light blue shirt he wore during the day and rushed out.

Hopefully nothing bad happened to Zhang Heng... Otherwise he would be condemned for an eternity.

"Guest, where are you going?" The affable lady boss stood at the front desk concernedly asked Gu Zhun, who was rushing down the stairs.

Gu Zhun did not understand much Japanese. He could only barely understand that the lady boss was worried about him. As such, he could only gesture with his hands and explain using bits and pieces of Japanese words and dialogue that he learned from a book on daily Japanese.

"I, that is, want to look...my friend... He, go, where? You, know?"

The lady boss smiled, nodded her head, and said: "He wore a bathrobe and left. I reckoned he left to eat oden. The guests here like that particular oden shop."

Gu Zhun briefly interrupted the lady boss on her endless recollection with a polite "arigato" and set out to look for Zhang Heng.

Gu Zhun walked onto the stone pavement and followed along the streets to look for Zhang Heng. The pale yellow light shone on Gu Zhun's body and made it seem a little lonely and uneasy.

In his heart, Gu Zhun actually knew that Zhang Heng was a mature person that would not do stupid things. However, all this time Zhang Heng kept gravitating around Gu Zhun. It was as though the center of his life was not himself, but Gu Zhun.
