If You Like Me, Just Say So. Why Are You Being So Cryptic?

The buddy who stuck with me as I rebuilt my life turns out to be a girl? And she's been secretly in love with me since high school?

Jiang Zhou, back after transmigrating, cursed himself for being an idiot. How had he failed to notice all these years?

Chen Ke in freshman year: "In accordance with the principle of 'equal exchange,' I'll give up fifty percent of my life in return. You have to give me fifty percent of yours, too!"

Jiang Zhou: "Would it kill you to just say you like me?"

Chen Ke in sophomore year: "Are you crazy? You can't split a pear and eat it together!"

Jiang Zhou: "Is it really so hard to say 'I love you'?"

Just starting college, Jiang Zhou: "I hear there are lots of girls at college?"

Chen Ke replied coldly: "There are lots of gold bars in a bank, too."

In his second year, Jiang Zhou: "That upperclasswoman is really nice to me. Do you think she's into me?"

Chen Ke said coldly: "The girl handing out flyers is really nice to me, too."

In his third year, Jiang Zhou: "I don't think the campus belle in our class is dating anyone."

Chen Ke: "My pig hasn't been bred, either."

In his fourth year, Jiang Zhou gave Chen Ke a teasing glance. "What do you think of me?"

Chen Ke pinched out Jiang Zhou's cigarette and smiled seductively. "Come on, follow me inside!"
