"An An, why do you think Tang Song likes me? It's so strange!"
Zhang Lu did not give Tang Song a clear answer that day. She didn't know how to answer. Tang Song's words were too sudden and she couldn't think clearly for a while.
After coming back, Zhang Lu ran to Cen Huaian, watched him do the experiment, and sat opposite him to talk to him about this matter.
"He also said you saw it all?!"
Cen Huaian lowered his head and was busy with his experiment. He didn't look up and just said "hmm".
Zhang Lu's eyes suddenly widened as he looked at him, and he almost spit out the water he was drinking: "When did you know that?"
Cen Huaian finally raised his head, glanced at Zhang Lu and said, "When you were in college."
Zhang Lu became even more curious, so he stood up and walked to Cen Huaian, leaned on the empty table behind him, folded his arms around his chest and looked at Cen Huaian, insisting that he tell him how he knew that.
Cen Huaian only had a few lab books left. After he finished, he cleaned up the lab table and said, "His thoughts were written on his face. I knew it when he first came to ask me about your situation."
Cen Huaian's tone was calm and unhurried. Zhang Lu asked him, "Why didn't you tell me then?"
Cen Huaian looked at her: "He didn't say anything. I can't tell you a guess that has no proof."
Zhang Lu touched his chin and nodded in agreement: "Yes, what if he thinks we are being self-indulgent? But what should I do now?"
Zhang Lu doesn't want to lose Tang Song as a friend, but now that she likes Tang Song, Zhang Lu can't immediately change her feelings towards Tang Song.
Cen Huaian looked at her and said, "You have to ask yourself whether you have feelings for him beyond friendship."
Zhang Lu asked Cen Huaian because she couldn't figure it out. In the end, she didn't get any answer, but Tang Song's pursuit came first.
His pursuit did not make Zhang Lu feel uncomfortable, because he knew her too well, and the methods he used to pursue her were acceptable to her.
Before Zhang Lu knew it, she started dating him.
Sometimes the two of them walked casually on the streets of the capital, and sometimes Tang Song took her to play shooting, horse riding, archery and a series of other sports she loved.
Except for the first day of the blind date when Tang Song said he liked her and wanted to pursue her, he never said it again after that. The two of them just played together like friends.
It's just that Tang Song changed his care for her from being silent before to no longer hiding it now. Zhang Lu feels comfortable getting along with him because he takes care of her in every way.
This kind of comfort is something Zhang Lu has never experienced when traveling with anyone else. Even her parents would not take such good care of her. Everything was done according to her ideas, some of which she herself had not even thought of.
Zhang Lu doesn't need to be taken care of usually. She likes to be alone so that she can do things better according to her own ideas.
But dating Tang Song did give her a different experience. She found that being with Tang Song was actually more enjoyable than doing these things alone.
It wasn't that the two of them went out to play and date every day. Every few days, Tang Song would find a reason to ask her out, because it was fun to play with him, and Zhang Lu would agree every time.
