Lin Xiyue and Zhou Chen grew up together, lived in the same hospital, went to the same school, and even entered university in the same teaching building.
She thought she knew him well enough, until she discovered that - he always maintained a polite and distant attitude toward girls, but he would bend down to teach, smile and pat his shoulders with a junior whom he had just met, and was incredibly patient.
In the cafeteria, he helped his juniors serve noodles. On the playground, he taught shooting. In the noodle shop, he smiled more at his juniors than at her, a 16-year-old girl. The girl at the next table was talking about his iron-clad record of rejecting people. The whole school was guessing what Zhou Chen, the law school student, liked, and she had a pile of evidence in her hand - the temperature difference between this man and boys was as big as two seasons.
She hid behind the pillar and watched him, and he had seen her. She tried to offend him by saying, "I'm exhausted from running," and he replied, "Okay, then go drink some water."
She felt that she had discovered a huge secret, but Chen Nian said, "Have you ever thought that you don't want to know the answer at all?"
Does she want to know? She wasn't sure. She only knew that when she went to the library every day, there was always someone occupying the seat by the window for her.
And she hadn't figured out where to hide when he turned around.
A story about how I suspected that my best friend was gay, and then found out that he only seemed to treat me differently.

I suspected that my sweetheart liked my junior, until I found out - he was more annoying to me than anyone else, and he was also nicer to me than anyone else.
