We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Whether it was because they were too close, or because of her understanding of Tang Shaowu, Su Weile sensed a change in Tang Shaowu's emotions.

She tilted her head to look at him, smiling as she asked, "What's wrong? Are you suddenly unhappy?"

Tang Shaowu looked up at Su Weile and smiled faintly, saying, "You had a good time with your best friend last night, didn't you? What did you do?"

Su Weile said dismissively, "It's just the same old stuff: eating, playing games, watching movies."

After the needles were sterilized, Su Weile quickly took Tang Shaowu's hand, first massaging the acupuncture points, then finding the right spot and inserting the needles. Gently twisting the needles, she asked, "Does it hurt?"

Tang Shaowu didn't reply, staring at the boy's hair who was giving him acupuncture while his head was bowed. The words that escaped his handsome lips carried a strong hint of seduction: "What movie were you watching?"

Su Weile's face flushed red instantly. "It's... a movie, a low-budget movie, hehe."

Tang Shaowu looked at him quietly. "Even the smallest production needs a name, right? What movie?"

Su Weile decided to play the fool, saying, "I forgot! I've always been bad at thinking and have a terrible memory."

After saying that, he continued to apply acupuncture to other acupoints. To change the subject, he added, "It's perfect that you're here. Tomorrow morning, I'll have Grandpa give you a treatment. I guarantee you'll feel comfortable. My grandpa is very skilled."

"If I can't remember the movie's name, I'll just watch it again. I've been wanting to see it anyway."

Su Weile plopped down opposite Tang Shaowu in anger. "Tang Shaowu, are you ever going to stop? Are you going to keep bringing this up about the movie? We're not watching a movie today. If you want to, I'll take you to the cinema tomorrow and we'll rent out the whole theater to watch as much as you want. Okay?"

Tang Shaowu looked at the angry Su Weile and said with a smile, "Why are you angry? You and your other good friends can watch the movie, but I can't. Didn't you say we were friends? There are different levels of closeness among friends, right?"

Su Weile had never really compared the closeness or distance between friends, but Tie Tou, her childhood friend, was someone she knew very well. They had seen each other's silly moments, so they could do anything together without any burden, like watching porn and then masturbating together.

As for Tang Shaowu, Su Weile truly didn't feel that his status was lower than Tie Tou's. In his mind, Tang Shaowu and Tie Tou seemed to be incomparable, existing without conflict. To him, both were very important.

But the thought of watching adult films with Tang Shaowu and then doing something relaxing made Su Weile's blood rush to her head. Her face and ears turned bright red. She felt incredibly embarrassed.

Tang Shaowu saw that Su Weile didn't answer. He smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Alright, I understand. I won't make things difficult for you. I understand. We're probably just ordinary friends now, and I shouldn't be treated the same as your good friends. I overstepped my bounds a bit."

Su Weile was utterly dumbfounded. "Tang Shaowu, do you have any conscience? Haven't I been good enough to you? Think about how you've treated me. You've played me, lied to me, done all sorts of awful things, and I've never blamed you? I worry about you every day, afraid you'll have a headache, afraid you won't sleep well, afraid you won't eat well. I, Su Weile, have never worried about anyone like this before. Now you say I don't consider you a good friend? Then what have I considered you? My father? Do I need a father?"

Tang Shaowu raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Weile, who was like a little leopard when he got angry, with a half-smile.

After Su Weile finished her rant, she was panting heavily as she stared at Tang Shaowu, still angry, and asked, "What the hell are you looking at?!"

Tang Shaowu burst out laughing this time. "How can someone so young be so fond of swearing?"

Seeing him smile made Su Weile feel a little better. "How can you be so infuriating at your age?"

"Su Weile, how did I upset you? I just wanted to be your friend, a really good one, but I've never had a friend before, so I'm not very good at it. I wanted to replicate the way you and your best friends are, but you didn't agree."

Su Weile blinked and said, "No...no, stop talking now, you're distorting the facts again."

Tang Shaowu continued, seemingly oblivious to the situation, "Then I said you didn't want to be good friends with me, and you got angry and started rambling on about all sorts of things, bringing up old grievances. I've already apologized for everything that happened before, and you punished me by abandoning me before I was even fully recovered and discharged from the hospital. Why are you bringing it up again today?"

Su Weile has always been straightforward since childhood; his personality is such that he either says yes or no.

This was the first time he had encountered a master negotiator like Tang Shaowu. How could he possibly be a match for him? He would often be led astray in the conversation, and no matter whether he was right or wrong, he would always end up feeling guilty.

Tang Shaowu's upbringing, coupled with his shrewdness and cunning, and years of experience in the cutthroat world of business, made dealing with someone as naive and transparent as Su Weile a piece of cake.

Su Weile was speechless, and he even felt like his brain had shut down.

Tang Shaowu remained silent, simply smiling as he looked at him.

Su Weile finally gave up and said, "You really insist on watching that movie, right? Fine!! You can watch it, okay~~"

Then, angrily, he picked up his laptop, turned it on, and found a folder of his movies on his vibrant desktop. Before he could even open it, Tang Shaowu's cold voice rang out.

"Su Weile, don't try to play your little tricks on me. Do you think you can fool me with some movie?"

Su Weile's face turned even redder, and she didn't dare to turn around. She whispered, "That was brought by Tie Tou with a portable hard drive. I... I'll find you... something similar, okay?"

After flipping through the list, there really weren't any movies that met his requirements. Su Weile didn't really have a hobby of collecting such things. Usually, he would just watch whatever Tie Tou brought him. He couldn't very well ask Tie Tou for it now, or Tie Tou would probably think he was on drugs.

Su Weile sighed, turned around, and said to Tang Shaowu, "We watched one yesterday... it was a little porn... I didn't save it. You still want to watch that kind of movie?"

Tang Shaowu laughed and said, "Look, why wouldn't you look? Aren't I a guy? Isn't this how good friends watch together, comment together, and help each other out?"

After hearing this, Su Weile muttered, "Helping each other? Don't they have hands? Isn't it enough to be self-reliant?"

Tang Shaowu laughed and said, "What are you muttering about?"

Su Weile said defiantly, "I didn't say anything. Anyway, the pornographic films are gone, so these are the movies you have. Take it or leave it."

Tang Shaowu said with a smile, "Okay, then I won't watch it."
