After a long while, Zhang Yue finally regained his thoughts.
If before he had some feelings he could barely articulate even to himself, now he couldn’t deceive himself any longer:
He really liked Qi Shejiang!
Zhang Yue saw his own expression on the screen was quite strange, a bit rigid yet betraying a hint of joy. “Ahem…”
“Is it working again?” Qi Shejiang repositioned his phone to focus on himself and mimicked that gesture again. “I just want to ask, what does this mean? I saw someone doing it.”
Zhang Yue held his breath: “………………”
“
Was it just his imagination, or was Zhang Yue visibly deflating?
Zhang Yue leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
But it couldn’t be helped; he had just admitted it to himself.
So what exactly does Qi Shejiang think? After hugging for three minutes, he surely had his own thoughts…!
Zhang Yue slowly perked up again.
“?” Qi Shejiang felt Zhang Yue was like an inflatable doll, “You… don’t know either?”
“Ah?” Zhang Yue’s gaze flickered, not looking at the camera. “This gesture means ‘I love you.'”
He didn’t think much about it, but as soon as he said it, a thick awkward silence fell on both sides.
You love me?
Then what was Zhang Yue’s reaction just now…
Qi Shejiang understood this clearly; moreover, he had already had some conjectures. After weighing it, he asked, “Does your band have plans for the New Year?”
He directly shifted the topic without further commentary, making it neither abrupt nor awkward.
“This year, we only have one recorded show, and then we’ll go home for the New Year,” Zhang Yue said blankly.
“I’ll head home for the New Year after I finish recording the crosstalk program; Uncle Jing said this year he’d let it slide, and I need to join a group right at the start of the year, so I have to rest up and not take on any other work,” Qi Shejiang said.
As they talked back and forth, Zhang Yue couldn’t help but pluck at his sweater, nearly stretching it out. “
Their conversation continued in a peculiar and ambiguous air, where there seemed to be an understanding that “he might know I know he has feelings for me,” especially as Qi Shejiang remained poised.
