Chapter 67: I Don’t Like You

Chapter 67: I Don't Like You

What on earth is going on?

I'm truly curious!

Qin Yao and Huo Yan both went to see Ye Leyao together.

The original text didn't provide much detail here, merely explaining Zhang Qiran's reason for entering the circle before moving on.

Ye Leyao reluctantly put away his phone, still reeling from the shock. He couldn't help but glance at Song Zhehan.

Song Zhehan handed the peeled egg to Zhou Zijian, then happened to look up and meet Ye Leyao's gaze. Slightly frowning, he then smiled. "What's with that expression?"

Ye Leyao quickly looked away. "Nothing."

"It's just that I'm really shocked. How dare Zhang Qiran have a crush on Teacher Gou... He's really bold!"

"And... Since Zhang Qiran has a crush on Song Zhehan, why did he start opposing him after entering the circle instead of pursuing him?"

"Could it be that after getting close to Song Zhehan, he found out that he's actually cunning and sarcastic, so he turned from a fan to a hater?"

Ye Leyao felt that this possibility wasn't entirely out of the question.

Huo Yan also thought Ye Leyao's speculation made sense.

After all... To like Song Zhehan, one really needed a very strong heart.

The more he thought about it, the more curious Huo Yan became. So what was the real story between Zhang Qiran and Song Zhehan?

Ye Leyao was equally curious, his mind racing.

"No, we can't just let Zhang Qiran leave the recording like this."

"If he goes, how will I ever figure out what's happening?"

"I really want to know about the love-hate relationship between him and Song Zhehan!"

Suddenly, Ye Leyao's eyes lit up, and he said in a slightly regretful tone, "I just feel a bit disappointed. Zhang Qiran is leaving after only half a day of recording. With his departure, you're wasting an opportunity to invite guests."

Song Zhehan pondered for a second, then nodded. "Now that you mention it, it does seem wasteful. And—"

Ye Leyao looked at him expectantly.

Then he saw Song Zhehan's lips curl into a regretful smile. "We haven't even seen him fail yet. What a pity!"

Ye Leyao: "..."

"Why did I foolishly hope that Teacher Gou would have a change of heart and retain Zhang Qiran?"

"Song Zhehan probably wants Zhang Qiran to leave as soon as possible!"

At this moment, Qin Yao slowly stood up, looking at Song Zhehan. "I'm going to talk to Zhang Qiran. Want to come along?"

Song Zhehan shook his head without hesitation. "I'm not friends with him, so why should I go? Besides, don't you fear that my presence might scare him off?"

"You do have self-awareness!"

Ye Leyao chuckled, then turned to Qin Yao. "President Qin, I'll go with you!"

"No matter what, I must get to the bottom of this today!"

Huo Yan hesitated but decided not to join them. After all, he wasn't close to Zhang Qiran either, and having too many people could backfire.

Moreover, although they couldn't see the scene from this distance, Ye Leyao's thoughts were still audible.

As long as they could hear the conversation, they could still enjoy the drama.

Ye Leyao followed Qin Yao out of the villa. Once they were far enough away, Song Zhehan glanced in their direction.

Huo Yan, remembering Ye Leyao's words earlier, couldn't resist asking, "Are you worried that Zhang Qiran won't come back?"

Song Zhehan had finished his kitchen duties. Hearing this, the corner of his mouth curved upward as he slowly walked over to sit across from Huo Yan, smiling. "Speaking of which, I've been quite curious."

Huo Yan was puzzled. "About what?"

Song Zhehan propped his chin on one hand, looking into Huo Yan's eyes with a smile on his lips. "Of course, about how much money Su Rui scammed from you. Last time, we only heard that Brother Duan lost a lot, but you never mentioned your experience. Why don't you take this opportunity to tell me?"

Huo Yan: "..."

Why did he provoke Song Zhehan just now?!

The live chat was in hysterics at this point.

"What did you go and provoke him for?!"

"Indeed, our Teacher Gou doesn't usually make a move, but when he does, it's always lethal!"

"Huo Yan, you should have just left with Ye Leyao and the others!"

"Speaking of which, it's been a while. What's happening over there?"

When Ye Leyao went for a morning walk, there weren't many viewers in the live stream.

After all, it was too early, and most netizens were still asleep after staying up late to follow Yu Bai's downfall last night.

Who would have thought that Ye Leyao would have such good luck during his walk, eavesdropping on Zhang Qiran's phone call with his agent?

But that wasn't the main point. The crucial part was that Zhang Qiran, who was typically known for his gentle and refined demeanor, was sobbing on the phone!

They also described Song Zhehan as a mad dog that would bite Zhang Qiran whenever it got the chance...

Although Zhang Qiran's crying was somewhat pitiful, netizens couldn't help but laugh.

Just how terrifying must Song Zhehan be to have scared someone into tears?

At the same time, netizens echoed Ye Leyao's earlier question: Could there really be some juicy gossip behind Zhang Qiran's desire to leave the show?!

The netizens, eager for more gossip, carefully observed Ye Leyao's expression and were surprised to find a hint of confusion on his face.

"Could it be that even Ye Leyao doesn't know?"

"Huh, what a surprise! There's actually something our Gossip King doesn't know!"

But before they could revel in this discovery for too long, they noticed something intriguing about Ye Leyao's expression when he was in the villa's hall.

Ye Leyao had been confused at first, but after checking his phone for a moment, his expression changed dramatically.

"Darn it! What did Ye Leyao see just now?"

"Why can't I possess Ye Leyao's phone right now?"

"But did you notice that after Ye Leyao was shocked, he glanced at Song Zhehan?"

"Could it be that whatever gossip about Zhang Qiran is connected to Song Zhehan?"

Upon reaching this point, many netizens' appetite for gossip was piqued.

It wasn't entirely impossible!

After all, those familiar with both knew that Song Zhehan and Zhang Qiran had debuted almost back-to-back.

Song Zhehan had initially established himself as a gentle beacon of light, attracting a large fanbase through this persona.

Then, only two months later, Zhang Qiran followed suit and debuted.

Initially, Zhang Qiran didn't establish any particular persona. However, netizens and marketing accounts analyzed various aspects of his image and speculated that his path might resemble Song Zhehan's.

Zhang Qiran's excellent appearance, coupled with his shyness in front of cameras and fans, along with his gentle smile, made it easy for people to associate him with such a label without needing his team to market it.

As Zhang Qiran and Song Zhehan rose to fame, they were often compared by marketing accounts.

With frequent comparisons came an increase in smear campaigns against each other.

Gradually, their teams became fiercely competitive.

After understanding their history, one netizen couldn't resist commenting:

"So, Zhang Qiran copied Song Zhehan's persona when he debuted?"

"No, did you even read carefully? When Zhang Qiran debuted, he didn't market any specific persona. If anything, he started doing so only half a year ago?"

"Yes, you can search it up. When Zhang Qiran debuted, there weren't any articles about him being a beacon of light. But starting from half a year ago, such articles began to appear more frequently."

"But can we really consider personas as gossip? There are plenty of artists in the entertainment industry who market themselves with certain personas."

"That's true, so what's the real gossip about Zhang Qiran?"

Despite their passionate analysis, netizens still couldn't reach a conclusion, so they placed their hopes on Ye Leyao.

Oh great Gossip King, please lead us to the juicy details!

Meanwhile, Ye Leyao and Qin Yao arrived at the area where the director and crew were resting.

The director and producer were sitting across from Zhang Qiran, earnestly trying to persuade him.

Director: "Look, Xiao Zhang, we've already filmed half of the show, and there are only two days left. It'll be over soon, and our show isn't strenuous. Where else will you find a reality show as relaxed as ours?"

Producer: "Yes, yes."

Director: "Moreover, our show has high ratings, and the live stream data breaks records every day."

Producer: "Indeed, indeed."

Director: "And most importantly, our show has a high penalty fee for breach of contract! You wouldn't want to pay us such a large sum of money for no reason, would you?"

Producer: "Yes, yes, a lot of money."

Director: "...If you don't know what to say, then don't say anything."

He was getting a headache from listening to this!

The producer cleared his throat and remained silent.

Ye Leyao almost burst out laughing but managed to suppress it.

After all, Zhang Qiran looked genuinely terrible at the moment.

Away from the cameras, Zhang Qiran dropped his pretenses, lying half-reclined in the director's chair, staring blankly at the sky.

A closer look revealed the remnants of tears in the corners of his eyes, and even his eyes were swollen.

Ye Leyao was slightly taken aback.

"Did he cry again after I left?"

"So if Zhang Qiran cries so easily, how does he dare to like Song Zhehan?"

Ye Leyao posed a profound question.

It was at this moment that Qin Yao approached.

Seeing Qin Yao arrive, the director and producer's eyes simultaneously lit up. "Mr. Qin!"

Qin Yao waved his hand towards the two of them, signaling for them to lower their voices before he said to Zhang Qiran, "Wanna chat?"

After a long while, Zhang Qiran finally shifted his gaze to Qin Yao. With just one glance, Zhang Qiran looked away again. "If you're here to persuade me to return to continue filming, there's no need. I won't be going back to continue filming."

Qin Yao said, "No, I just want to analyze with you the consequences you would have to bear if you were to quit our show's filming."

"You don't have to scare me," Zhang Qiran's voice was somewhat hoarse. "Besides, I'm an adult. I'm capable of bearing all the consequences of my choices."

"Even Song Zhehan?" Qin Yao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhang Qiran's expression suddenly changed, and he sat up straight. "You..."

Ye Leyao also widened her eyes in shock.

"Mr. Qin even knows about this?!"

To be precise, Qin Yao had only just found out.

However, combining some information Ye Leyao had revealed with what Qin Yao already knew, he was confident he could persuade Zhang Qiran to return to filming.

"This isn't a suitable place to talk," Qin Yao looked at Zhang Qiran. "Do you want to come inside to talk?"

This time, Zhang Qiran didn't hesitate. He stood up and followed Qin Yao into the house.

Watching Qin Yao and Zhang Qiran enter the house, the director approached Ye Leyao. "When Mr. Qin suddenly mentioned Song Zhehan's name just now, could it be... Do you know anything about it?"

Ye Leyao blinked and spoke without hesitation. "I don't know anything."

The director: "I don't believe you."

Ye Leyao continued to smile.

The director stared at him.

After a long while, the director sighed deeply and regretfully walked away.

It didn't matter. Even if he didn't know now, there was still a long way to go in the upcoming filming. There would always be a chance for him to find out!

Qin Yao and Zhang Qiran didn't chat for long. In just a few minutes, Qin Yao opened the door first and walked out.

Ye Leyao couldn't resist looking up to see behind him, only to find that Zhang Qiran was still sitting in the chair, motionless.

"How did it go?" Ye Leyao hurriedly asked Qin Yao.

Qin Yao's mouth curved slightly as he gave Ye Leyao an "OK" gesture.

Ye Leyao's eyes suddenly brightened, wanting to ask more, but Qin Yao said, "Let's head back first."

Once they were far enough away, Ye Leyao asked, "Mr. Qin, what did you say to Zhang Qiran?"

Qin Yao smiled and said, "I simply analyzed with him the negative impact that quitting our show's filming would bring him."

Ye Leyao thought for a moment and quickly understood.

After all, since the first episode of their reality show was filmed until now, almost all the artists who dropped out halfway did so because of major scandals that shocked the entertainment industry.

Although Zhang Qiran didn't have any scandals, choosing to drop out halfway at this point would inevitably arouse suspicion from the audience and netizens.

Even if Zhang Qiran's side issued a statement to explain, it would be difficult to convince the audience and netizens. Netizens might even delve deep into all his past experiences.

At that time, no matter what Zhang Qiran wanted to hide, it would probably be impossible to keep it hidden.

This naturally included the news that he once liked Song Zhehan.

Thinking of this, Ye Leyao couldn't help but give Qin Yao a thumbs-up. After making sure there were no cameramen around, she lowered her voice and asked, "So, Mr. Qin, do you know that Zhang Qiran likes Song Zhehan? Do you know what's going on between them?"

Qin Yao: "..."

Didn't he hear it all from you?

How could he possibly know everything?

Thus, Qin Yao shook his head without hesitation. "I just felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange, so I guessed randomly."

Ye Leyao's eyes suddenly brightened as she swept her gaze over Qin Yao.

Qin Yao felt a little baffled.

Then he heard Ye Leyao's thoughts.

"I didn't expect it. Mr. Qin actually has a gossip gene too."

Qin Yao: "..."

As the saying goes, proximity to vermilion turns one red!

The two quickly returned to the villa.

The other guests all looked over. Li Siyuan even deliberately glanced behind them and asked curiously, "What? Still quitting?"

Ye Leyao promptly looked at Song Zhehan.

Song Zhehan was serving porridge and didn't even raise his eyes.

Ye Leyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems Teacher Gou Shi really doesn't care about Zhang Qiran at all, so—"

With this thought, the corner of Ye Leyao's mouth involuntarily curled upward:

"What would Teacher Gou Shi's reaction be if he knew that Zhang Qiran had feelings for him?"

Ye Leyao suddenly found himself looking forward to it.

Not just him, Huo Yan was also anticipating it.

After all, he had just been shut down by Song Zhehan!

He too wanted to see Song Zhehan at a loss for words.

Tsk, just thinking about it was exciting!

Qin Yao had already briefly explained the situation to everyone. Breakfast was ready, and they all sat together to eat.

"Since Xiao Zhang is coming back for filming, I'll save some food for him," Zhou Zijian said.

Song Zhehan couldn't help but shake his head and let out a long sigh.

Qian Yue looked at him. "What's wrong?"

Song Zhehan took a sip of porridge, his tone serious. "I just feel like I've been holding back."

Everyone at the table looked up at him.

Xia Yang, who had taken care of matters last night, now sitting next to Song Zhehan, asked in puzzlement upon hearing this: "Holding back?"

Those familiar with Song Zhehan, including Ye Leyao, knew what he was about to say.

Sure enough, Song Zhehan spoke in a melancholic tone: "Don't you think I've already been holding back with Zhang Qiran? Look, he still dares to come back and continue filming."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "bang" echoed through the room.

Everyone turned around, only to realize that Zhang Qiran had returned at some point. The loud noise was from him throwing down his suitcase.

Ye Leyao quickly glanced at Zhang Qiran's expression, and sure enough, he saw a fleeting flash of anger on his face.

"He must have been riled up by Teacher Gou Shi again!"

Zhou Zijian cleared his throat and stood up first to smooth things over. "Xiao Zhang, are you hungry? Come over and have breakfast."

Zhang Qiran bent down to pick up his suitcase. It was clear that he was trying hard to force a smile, but failed, and instead gave Zhou Zijian an awkward expression. "Thanks, Brother Zhou. I'll put my luggage away first."

With that, Zhang Qiran dragged his suitcase away.

It wasn't until the sound of the elevator door closing reached their ears that Liu Yan whispered, "Why do I feel... like his eyes are swollen?"

Ye Leyao nodded vigorously. "Yes, he's been crying."

As he said this, he kept his gaze fixed on Song Zhehan.

To his surprise, upon hearing these words, the corner of Song Zhehan's mouth curved upward, his mood unexpectedly better than ever, his tone cheerful: "Looks like he's not planning to pretend anymore. How interesting."

Ye Leyao's lips curled upward immediately.

"It is indeed interesting. I can't even imagine if Song Zhehan were to find out that Zhang Qiran has feelings for him, whether he'd still wear the same smile as he does now."

The more Ye Leyao thought about it, the more excited he became, his gaze growing intense.

After being stared at by Ye Leyao for so long, Song Zhehan frowned slightly and turned to look at him. "This is the second time."

Ye Leyao: "Huh?"

"This is the second time today that you've looked at me with that expression," Song Zhehan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Why, could it be that you've stumbled upon some gossip related to me today?"

Ye Leyao struggled to maintain his composure.

"Not at all, Teacher Gou Shi is being overly sensitive!"

Of course, Ye Leyao wouldn't admit it, hurriedly shaking his head. "No, I haven't started on any gossip today! I'm still full from yesterday's Yu Bai gossip!"

Qian Yue: "…"

Xia Yang couldn't resist any longer. "Then why did you need to stare so intently at us?"

Ye Leyao: "…"

"I just slipped up!"

Huo Yan, speechless, helped explain for Ye Leyao. "He didn't mean anything by it."

Qian Yue sighed. "I know," she said, her gaze sweeping over everyone present. "And dare any of you here say that you didn't indulge in gossip about the three of us last night?"

Everyone else cleared their throats simultaneously.

Huo Yan said, "I doubt… anyone would dare say that."

They all couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Qian Yue and Xia Yang also wore relaxed smiles on their faces.

Although being cheated on was indeed somewhat painful and heavy, their hearts felt considerably lighter after cracking jokes.

After breakfast, Zhang Qiran still hadn't come downstairs. It wasn't until close to departure time that he slowly made his way down.

Ye Leyao glanced at him and noticed that he was wearing an exaggerated sun hat on his head.

Song Zhehan, seeing this, burst out laughing. "What's this? You've finally realized that your face is a bit of a letdown to the audience, so you've decided to cover it up?"

The brim of the sunhat covered most of Zhang Qiran's face, leaving only the lower part of his lips and chin exposed.

Hearing Song Zhehan's words, the corners of Zhang Qiran's mouth tightened slightly. Surprisingly, he said nothing and turned around to leave without a word.

Song Zhehan was somewhat taken aback, looking at Li Siyuan. "Is he now planning to pretend he doesn't know me?"

Li Siyuan glanced at him. "How would I know? If you're so concerned about him, why don't you go over and whisper some sweet nothings in his ear?"

"Li Siyuan knows how to shut someone down!"

Ye Leyao hurriedly covered her mouth.

In response to Li Siyuan, Song Zhehan gave him a sharp look.

Zhou Zijian took out a food box. "Where's Little Zhang?"

"He's on the bus," Ye Leyao said.

Zhou Zijian thought for a moment and handed the food box to Song Zhehan. "Why don't you, Little Song, take it to him?"

Song Zhehan refused without hesitation. "No, I refuse."

Zhou Zijian sighed helplessly. "Alright, then I'll give it to him."

He had originally wanted to try to ease the tension between Song Zhehan and Zhang Qiran, but it was clear that it wasn't going to happen.

It was best to let things take their natural course.

The other guests felt the same way as Zhou Zijian.

After all, it wasn't the first time they were standing by doing nothing. They were used to it, used to it!

The following day, the guests went together to visit the newly built amusement park.

Since the amusement park was not receiving visitors today, they played there for the entire day.

By the end of the day, everyone was tired.

Back at the villa, the production team had prepared hot pot and barbecue ingredients for them, so everyone gathered around to eat hot pot and barbecue together.

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Zijian suddenly put down his water glass. "I think, since we're all adults, shouldn't we have something different?"

Xia Yang stood up directly. "Beer or wine?"

Li Siyuan laughed. "What's this? Are you trying to drown your sorrows after a breakup?"

Qian Yue corrected him. "This isn't called drowning your sorrows; this is called having a drink and talking about your feelings!"

And so, in just half an hour, several bottles of alcohol on the table were emptied.

Xia Yang finished a cup of beer with a tilt of his head, slamming the glass heavily on the table. His eyes were red as he cursed, "That Yu Bai is a bastard! When he was pursuing me, you didn't know how dedicated he was. He was even willing to wait for me to finish filming night scenes until four in the morning... I mean, he's done so much for me, how could I doubt his sincerity?"

Qian Yue and Ye Leyao clinked glasses, tears falling. "Forget waiting until four in the morning for you to finish filming. Once, I just mentioned that I had menstrual cramps, and he flew back from Hai City overnight. He appeared under my window in the middle of the night, just to bring me a cup of ginger brown sugar tea... I, I didn't want to like him either, but you know, us girls value the details..."

"But damn it, who would have thought he was a scumbag who pays attention to detail with everyone!"

Seeing the two of them crying like this, the other guests quickly comforted them.

Wen Xiangyue said, "Out with the old, in with the new!"

Liu Yan said, "It's good to see his true colors early, cut your losses while you can."

He Yan: "Just find another one. Not everyone in the world is a scumbag. Even I've encountered someone who deceived me... Sigh."

Zhou Zijian also said, "Take it slow. After all, matters of the heart can't be forced... Hey, Little Zhang, can you still drink?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Zhang Qiran, who was sitting in the corner.

Unbeknownst to them, seven or eight empty bottles were scattered in front of him, one of which was even a wine bottle.

Ye Leyao's eyes widened. "Zhang Qiran has such a high tolerance for alcohol?"

Song Zhehan glanced over here, his brows furrowing slightly. "Isn't he already drunk?"

Zhou Zijian patted Zhang Qiran on the shoulder. "Little Zhang? Little Zhang, are you alright?"

Zhang Qiran held the glass with both hands, blinking slowly.

This didn't look like everything was fine!

"We can't let him drink anymore," Zhou Zijian said to He Yan beside him. "Quick, quick, help me, grab his glass!"

He Yan hurriedly reached out to assist.

But for some reason, Zhang Qiran wouldn't let go of the glass.

Zhou Zijian tried reasoning with him, but he remained silent.

When Zhou Zijian tried to grab the glass, Zhang Qiran simply hugged it to his chest.

Zhou Zijian struggled for a long time, but Zhang Qiran wouldn't let go.

Li Siyuan watched, feeling a headache coming on. "When did he drink so much?"

Everyone at the table looked at each other.

They had been listening to Xia Yang and Qian Yue recount their love stories earlier. Who had been paying attention to this?

"What are we going to do?" Zhou Zijian was unusually at a loss. "How is his drinking behavior?"

Ye Leyao turned directly to look at Song Zhehan.

Song Zhehan noticed his gaze and raised his eyebrows in amusement. "Ye Leyao, this is the third time. If you keep looking at me like this, I'm starting to wonder if you have a secret crush on me."

Zhang Qiran, who had been holding onto his wine glass tightly, and Qin Yao, who hadn't spoken a word, suddenly looked at Ye Leyao simultaneously.

Ye Leyao was too preoccupied with hiding his unusual behavior from Song Zhehan to notice these two gazes. He frowned and said, "Song Zhehan, aren't you being too narcissistic?! Who would secretly love you?"

"You'd be more accurate saying Zhang Qiran has a secret love for you. There's no way I would! I'm not a masochist!"

Just then, Zhang Qiran suddenly pushed back his chair and stood up. He was drunk and had no idea how much strength he was using; the chair behind him fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Everyone's attention instantly shifted back to him.

Alcohol had flushed Zhang Qiran's pale face and neck bright red. He could barely stand, only managing to do so by leaning on the table. The wine glass full of alcohol in his hand was slammed heavily onto the table, spilling half its contents.

"Are you alright?" Zhou Zijian quickly got up to support him, worried that Zhang Qiran might fall.

But Zhang Qiran waved him off, refusing help. "I'm fine..."

Zhou Zijian hesitated.

Although his voice didn't waver, it certainly didn't look like he was alright.

Zhang Qiran insisted on not being helped, so Zhou Zijian reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Gradually regaining his balance, Zhang Qiran reached out again for his wine glass.

Zhou Zijian rushed to stop him but was a step too late.

Zhang Qiran lifted his wine glass and raised it toward Song Zhehan.

Suddenly, Ye Leyao felt a sense of foreboding.

"Zhang Qiran... Is he about to confess under the influence of alcohol?"

He Yan and Qin Yao's expressions changed simultaneously.

Both turned to look at Song Zhehan.

Song Zhehan's brows were slightly furrowed. After a quick glance at Zhang Qiran, he quickly looked away. "What? You want to drink with me? But sorry, I don't like drinking with drunks..."

"You didn't like it, yet you ate the cake I gave you!!!" Zhang Qiran suddenly shouted.

The entire restaurant fell silent for a moment after his words.

Ye Leyao's eyes widened in excitement.

"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Not just that! He even gave Song Zhehan a cake?"

"When did he give it?"

Ye Leyao hurriedly looked at Song Zhehan.

At this moment, Song Zhehan's eyes were filled with confusion, but more than that, there was impatience. He really disliked arguing with drunks and said, somewhat exasperated, "When did I ever eat the cake you gave me..."

"I did eat it! I did eat it! Not only did I eat it, but I also said it was the best cake I've ever tasted, and I said I wanted to eat it for the rest of my life..." Zhang Qiran spoke very quickly. By the end of his sentence, his voice was almost choked with emotion. "You liar, Song Zhehan, you're a big liar!"

The other guests' pupils dilated, their breathing became lighter, and their gazes swept back and forth between the two.

Wait, weren't you two sworn enemies?

Could it be... there's something more to your story that we don't know?!

Song Zhehan was utterly baffled. "Zhang Qiran, I don't want to argue with a drunk. I..."

"Fine!" Zhang Qiran's voice was loud, cutting off Song Zhehan mid-sentence. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, unable to hide the sobbing tone in his voice. "If you won't say it, I already know you don't like me. If you don't like me, then you don't. I don't expect you to like me either. Who cares if you like me or not?! Anyway, I'll soon stop liking you! You're a liar, you have nothing worth my affection! Song Zhehan, you're a big liar! I will never forgive you!"

After his outburst, the room fell into silence.

Except for Ye Leyao, He Yan, and Qin Yao, who knew the inside story, the shock on the faces of the other guests was impossible to conceal.

Wait...

What did they just hear?

Zhang Qiran would soon stop liking Song Zhehan?

Huh?

Zhang Qiran liked Song Zhehan?

Is this something that can actually be said on the show?!
