Chapter 261 I have a friend

On the day Shen Yanci graduated, she saw several students dancing in the rain at Oxford.

She lowered her eyelashes and looked up to see Shen Yanci holding up the pack of tissues without moving.

She frowned, looked up at him, and said, "Why didn't you wipe it—"

A warm touch came over my face.

Shen Yanci suddenly raised her hand and used her fingertips to brush away the strand of hair that was stuck to her face.

He looked up, his gaze met Qin Zhao's for a moment, then quickly closed his eyes and looked at the rain.

He seemed to disapprove of it and casually made the gesture, then quickly withdrew his hand.

The rain intensified, pattering loudly on the stone-paved street.

Qin Zhao pursed her lips and lowered her eyelashes.

She held the tissue, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye: "Aren't you going to wipe it?"

Shen Yanci then slowly began to pull out a tissue, but he stopped halfway through and handed the tissue back to her: "Wipe yourself."

"..."

Several water droplets rolled down his face, his eyelashes and eyebrows were wet, and a few small water droplets clung to his Adam's apple.

Qin Zhao: "I meant you can wipe it yourself."

Shen Yanci: "I don't need it."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips: "Whatever you say."

She looked away, and Shen Yanci glanced at her, took out a tissue, and wiped his face.

The movements made rustling sounds, occasionally brushing against Qin Zhao's coat.

London in the rain has a unique feel; the whole city is shrouded in rain, with mist and raindrops intertwined, creating a hazy, poetic atmosphere.

Qin Zhao: "Why aren't they using umbrellas?"

Shen Yanci: "The rain came too quickly."

He closed his eyes briefly, his voice trailing off: "But it will stop sooner or later."

Qin Zhao lifted his toes and watched as large raindrops pounded against the stone slab, creating fine water droplets.

The cold air entered her lungs, and she sneezed.

Shen Yanci glanced at her: "Are you so weak right now?"

Qin Zhao: "No, it's just that someone misses me."

"..."

He chuckled, raised his eyelids slightly, and twitched his finger.

Qin Zhao sneezed again.

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow: "So now there are two people missing you?"

"..."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement.

The next second, a warm coat was draped over her head.

She paused for a moment, hooking her fingers around the hem of his coat, and looked at him from the middle.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at the pedestrians on the road: "Take this to shield yourself from the rain."

Qin Zhao: "Aren't you cold?"

Shen Yanci glanced at her: "It's quite hot."

Qin Zhao looked at his exposed arms and hands, raised his hand, and gently touched them with the back of his fingers.

The veins on the back of his hand throbbed; it was very hot. Qin Zhao lowered his eyelashes.

Shen Yanci's jaw tightened, and he glanced at her with half-closed eyelids: "You dare to tarnish my innocence in broad daylight."

"..."

Qin Zhao looked up at him, her eyes full of harmlessness: "Let me test if you're cold."

Shen Yanci asked casually, "If I'm cold, would I give you my coat?"

"..."

Qin Zhao pursed her lips, then looked at him: "Really?"

Shen Yanci hadn't expected her to press the matter, and paused for a moment. He lifted his eyelids, seemingly unconcerned: "What do you think?"

The red bus traveled through the rain, with the occasional sound of a police siren.

Qin Zhao moved a little closer to him. His arm touched Qin Zhao's through Qin Zhao's coat.

They were both wearing thin coats, and his body heat was transferred to her through them.

Shen Yanci glanced at her.

Qin Zhao: "I'm a little cold."

Shen Yanci looked at her for a few seconds, then said nothing more.

After a while, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he stepped a little further away.

When Qin Zhao returned to China, Jiang Man had just returned the day before.

She had just adjusted to the time difference when she asked Qin Zhao to go out with her.

I told her about all the strange things she encountered abroad, several of which she had already told me about before.

What? That guy clearly had a fiancée in China, but he was flirting with a girl abroad and got scammed. After being drugged, he had sex with many other guys.

Jiang Man: "Damn, after watching that video, I'm now traumatized by shipping couples."

What? A girl living with two boys, spending Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with one, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays with the other, and Sundays together.

Jiang Man's gossip is even more extensive than it was in high school.

Qin Zhao's surprised reaction satisfied her desire to tell her story, and she talked for more than two hours.

Jiang Man: "You have no idea what bizarre things I've witnessed, Zhao Zhao."

Qin Zhao patted her on the shoulder: "You've worked hard."

After they finished talking, Qin Zhao strolled around the streets with her for a while.

Jiang Man: "I no longer believe in love."

"It is indeed difficult to understand." Qin Zhao pursed his lips and asked her, "If someone likes another person, is it possible for that person to still like her three years later?"

"Three years!" Jiang Man exclaimed in surprise. "Sorry, in our culture, three weeks is considered a long shelf life for a relationship."

Jiang Man paused for a moment: "Why did you ask that question? Is there something going on?"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelashes: "No, it's a friend of mine."

Jiang Manman's face clearly showed an "I understand" expression, but thinking back to three years ago when Qin Zhao was still a boy, pretending to be a boy, it seemed unlikely.

She asked to confirm, "It wasn't you, was it?"

Qin Zhao silently apologized in his heart and said, "My roommate."

Jiang Man responded with an "Oh," and asked, "What's wrong?"

“She dated a guy before, but they broke up.” Qin Zhao paused for a moment. “Their relationship was very short. She broke up with him, and it was a very messy breakup.”

"They didn't see each other for more than two years. When they met again, the boy was very cold to her. Later, probably because of family reasons, the boy's attitude towards her softened."

"Their relationship is..." Qin Zhao couldn't find the words to describe it, "It's good in some ways, and bad in others."

"After the relationship improved, the guy would sometimes show her a lot of concern, helping her carry her bag, and if he thought something had happened to her, he would be very worried and take care of her."

"But sometimes he says cold things. He tells girls not to even think about getting him back, and that he'll date someone else."

Jiang Man frowned and clicked his tongue: "The Emperor of Contradictions."

"No!" she slapped her hand. "Don't judge a book by its cover, judge it by its actions."

"Judging from his behavior, he still likes her, otherwise why would he help her carry her bag? My dad only helps me and my mom carry our bags."

"..."

Jiang Man thought for a moment: "Saying it is just being stubborn, after all, he was dumped back then. Wouldn't it be too much to be chasing after him now?"

Qin Zhao twitched his finger.

Jiang Man: "What about other aspects? For example, physical contact? Do you resist physical contact?"

Resist?
Qin Zhao: "They kissed."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "But it seems like the boy doesn't like it. When she tried to kiss him before, he pushed her away."
