Do you like Xia Qingqing?

"Junyu, do you like Xia Zhiqing?" Di Beichen spoke slowly as he sipped his drink. However, his gaze did not turn towards Bai Junyu but instead focused on the bright moon in the sky.

Hesitating for a moment, Bai Junyu nodded in response. "Yes, I like her."

He had liked Xia Zhiqing ever since he first laid eyes on her over three years ago. At that time, when Xia Zhiqing wanted to enter the special admission class, he made an effort to persuade the mentor to give her a chance to be assessed.

On one hand, he wanted Xia Zhiqing to fulfill her own wishes. On the other hand, he wished to be closer to her. As a result, they ended up being in the same team, and he often saw her smiling face.

However, the distance between them never seemed to shrink. Initially, he knew very well that Xia Zhiqing did not like him. But as time went on and their interactions grew, he sometimes had a delusion that Xia Zhiqing might actually like him...

However, today's events made it clear that it was all just his imagination.

"If you have liked her for so many years, why haven't you expressed your feelings?" Di Beichen shifted his gaze towards Bai Junyu, unable to understand why he had never made his intentions known.

Hearing this, Bai Junyu lowered his eyelids, a bitter expression crossing his face. "She doesn't like me. If I confess, she might just avoid me in the future."

As Bai Junyu spoke, Di Beichen couldn't help but think to himself what a fool Bai Junyu was. Even outsiders like them could clearly see it, yet Bai Junyu remained oblivious.

"All this time, you've thought that Xia Zhiqing doesn't like you. That's why you never dared to confess," Di Beichen said aloud.

"Who said she doesn't like you? If she did, she wouldn't have left with another man today." Bai Junyu's lips curved into a smile, but it held a hint of bitterness. The image of Xia Zhiqing leaving with Ji Wenshu lingered deeply in his mind. He couldn't help but feel that Xia Zhiqing would always be like this in the future, leaving with another man and disappearing from his world forever.

The thought left him restless and troubled. He didn't want such a situation to occur and felt an indescribable pain, making it hard to breathe.

Di Beichen sighed, having seen people with slow emotional responses before, but never to this extent. "Bai Junyu, are you an idiot?"

Bai Junyu looked at Di Beichen in confusion, unable to understand why he suddenly said such words.

"It's obvious to all of us that Zhiqing likes you, and you've been making her wait. As a man, what are you afraid of? If you confess, you might succeed, or at least Zhiqing will know your feelings. If you don't confess, you'll only watch as Zhiqing gets taken away by another man without even having a say in it. In my opinion, you're even worse than this Ji Wenshu who just appeared today. When Ji Wenshu first met Zhiqing, he directly expressed his feelings. That's what a real man does."

Bai Junyu listened in a daze to everything Di Beichen said, feeling a bit bewildered. Di Beichen couldn't help but think that Bai Junyu was truly dense. If he didn't make it clear, this idiot wouldn't be able to figure it out.
