Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 131 Story
Wen Ye took the book, pondered for a while, and said, "You actually signed your name honestly, without any fancy handwriting. But that's good, it makes your signature stand out among all the other signatures."

Wei Qingsong chuckled to himself.

If you really can't find the right words to compliment someone, there's no need to force it.

Wen Ye handed the book to Shen Fu and then explained on Shen Yutong's behalf, "He definitely didn't mean it just now. Here, it's signed. I'll apologize to you on his behalf."

"No need, I was too abrupt just now." With Wei Qingsong gently comforting her, Shen Fu's grievances vanished.

She held the book in her hands as if it were a precious treasure, looking at the two names on the title page.

"Shen Yutong," Shen Fu murmured, "The wutong tree is accompanied by fine rain, and at dusk, drop by drop. What a beautiful name."

Shen Yutong was slightly taken aback, stared at Shen Fu for a long time, and then, as if startled, suddenly lowered her head in a panic and ran out quickly.

Watching his retreating figure, Shen Fu was at a loss: "What's wrong with him? Did I say something wrong again?"

“That’s just his personality, don’t take it to heart. Besides, this is his first time participating in an offline event. He doesn’t usually communicate or interact with people, so he lacks experience.” Wen Ye patiently explained again, then glanced at her and said, “Don’t turn from a fan to a hater and curse him on the forum. He really didn’t mean it.”

Shen Fu pouted and said sullenly, "Alright, I know. Then hurry up and go check it out. There are still so many people outside. I won't turn from a fan to a hater, but others might not."

“Okay.” Wen Ye smiled broadly, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and turned to say, “Miss Wei, I’ll be going now.”

Wei Qingsong: "..."

There's no need to tell her specifically; whether he leaves or not is none of her business.
Shen Fu stared at the book in her hand with two signatures, sighed deeply, and turned to look at Wei Qingsong with a pitiful expression: "Songsong, I suddenly feel like I've lost a lover."

Wei Qingsong patted her head tenderly and said in a comforting tone, "Don't be sad, Afu. Don't overthink it. You're not in a relationship at all."

"..." Shen Fu stared at her quietly, "Thank you, I feel much better with your comfort."

"You're welcome," Wei Qingsong said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

Shen Fu sighed deeply: "I don't want to accept this reality. This Deep Eyes is completely different from the Deep Eyes I imagined. Where is my elegant young master? Where is my approachable and kind god? I hate that he's like a block of wood!"

“Reality and imagination are always different. It’s mainly because your expectations are too high. Look at me. Before I came here, I had no expectations for Shen Tong’s appearance, so I think he’s not bad at all,” Wei Qingsong comforted her, patting her shoulder.

That's how things always are; if you have too high expectations, you're more likely to fall short of them.

Shen Fu had imagined Shen Tong to be far too perfect, so seeing Shen Yutong today, who was so dull and uninteresting, felt like the sky had fallen and her illusions had been shattered.

Shen Fu thought for a moment and said, "I wouldn't say he's bad, it's just that I feel my illusions have been shattered."

As she spoke, she took out a small mirror from her bag and carefully examined her delicate features: "I dressed up so beautifully today, doesn't he find me stunning at all? With such a beautiful female reader, doesn't he want to develop a relationship with me further?"

Finally, she concluded indignantly: "He's either sexually frigid or sexually attracted to men."

“He probably just doesn’t interact with people much, that’s why he acts that way,” Wei Qingsong analyzed seriously. “Besides, wouldn’t it be even more terrible if he did something rude to a pretty female reader? At least he’s a gentleman who isn’t seduced by beauty.”

“That’s true, but I think my guess is quite likely.” Shen Fu got more and more excited as she spoke. “Think about it, Wen Ye is Wen Yu’s brother, so maybe Wen Ye is just like Wen Yu.”

“You don’t have much contact with the Wen family and don’t understand Wen Ye. Although he seems dashing and charming, and has been with many women, his kindness to each woman has an expiration date. Look how gentle and considerate he is to Shen Tong. I have never seen him treat any other woman like that.”

Shen Fu's analysis was as sharp as a tiger, instantly transforming her into a famous detective, thoroughly analyzing the relationship between Wen Ye and Shen Yutong.

Whether this analysis is right or wrong remains to be seen.

Wei Qingsong had no choice but to go along with her words: "From this perspective, Wen Ye does indeed have a lot of problems."

She deliberately avoided mentioning Shen Tong and only mentioned Wen Ye, attempting to shift the focus of the conversation.

"That's right, it's definitely not a problem with my charm, it's that Deep Eyes is acting strangely," Shen Fu said angrily. "Tonight, I'm going to a nightclub! I'll pick up ten or eight handsome men to prove my charm!"

Although she failed to shift the focus of the conversation, Shen Fu finally stopped being so insistent on it.

If Wen Ye is like a woman who flits among flowers without getting attached, then Shen Fu is the female version of Wen Ye, equally adept at playing the field.

She knew that her marriage was not her own choice, and it seemed that this was a way to silently rebel and grasp at the last vestige of freedom in her desperate situation.

Wei Qingsong was speechless for a moment and remained silent.

After a long pause, she finally asked, "So you won't like Shen Tong anymore?"

"I love it!" Shen Fu hugged the book tightly and said with a smile, "But I will no longer have any improper thoughts about him. From now on, I will just be a pure fan of his books. I will only like his words and will no longer want to explore his story or him as a person."

"Oh, that's good then." Wei Qingsong didn't say anything more.

She felt that Shen Tong's story and his character might be worth exploring.

I just don't know whether the story is bright or dark.

She knew that too much talk could lead to mistakes, and she didn't want to mislead Shen Fu, lest she push her friend into a pit of fire.

Let everything unfold naturally. Whether the story ends well or badly depends on their individual destinies.

Originally, it was agreed that Wei Qingsong would accompany Shen Fu to express her feelings, but in the end, it was Shen Fu who ended up accompanying Wei Qingsong to wait for Lu Jingming.

The two chatted and laughed, as if they had returned to their youth, where they could talk about anything and were very close. All the barriers between them had long since vanished, as if they had never existed.

Shen Fu had no idea what Wei Qingsong had done in the past six years, or why he had left Tangzhou.

But she always believed in Wei Qingsong, believing that she was still the Wei Qingsong who grew up with her.

No matter what the process was, it doesn't matter, as long as she came back in the end, everything is fine.

After the interview, it was still early, and Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming had to return to the Municipal Bureau.

Shen Fu's emotions came and went quickly. She made an appointment to go to afternoon tea with someone, and left with a carefree laugh.

In a sense, Shen Fu and Wen Ye are the same kind of people; what they value most is always the happiness of the present moment.

Because life is full of uncertainties, we should seize the day and enjoy life to the fullest.
