Therefore, Gu Song became even more curious about the reason for the conflict between Shen Su and Feng Feng.
In Gu Song's understanding, if one person was pursuing another, they would absolutely not quarrel. They would be too busy appeasing the other person and making them happy, so how could they possibly instigate unpleasantness?
Gu Song stroked his chin, "Did you and Feng Feng quarrel? That doesn't make sense either. If you quarreled with someone first, why are you drinking now?"
Just then, Shen Su finished the drink in front of him. He put down the glass and uttered a name: "Wen Zhouyuan."
Gu Song was startled, "What, he's alive again?"
Shen Su glared fiercely at Gu Song, looking at him as if he were crazy. Gu Song felt wronged. He hadn't heard that name in generations. Shen Su suddenly brought up someone who had died, so of course he would think of that.
Shen Su was exasperated by Gu Song's thought process. After a moment of deliberation, he explained to Gu Song the reason for their quarrel that night. After Gu Song heard the story, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression turned serious.
"Why is this Wen Zhouyuan so persistent?" Gu Song could only think of this phrase to describe the situation. A person who had been dead for over two years could still affect the relationship between Shen Su and Feng Feng.
Shen Su remained silent. Gu Song had no choice but to continue asking, "Did Feng Feng bring him up? What does she mean, pursuing you while still unable to forget Wen Zhouyuan?"
Shen Su rubbed his forehead and took over his words, "I brought him up."
Gu Song was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Are you crazy!"
Shen Su's expression turned even more unpleasant.
Seeing his expression change, Gu Song realized he had spoken out of turn. He quickly added, "I didn't mean it like that. I just don't understand why you would suddenly bring up Wen Zhouyuan. Isn't that picking a fight?"
Shen Su retorted, "You think I'm picking a fight?"
Gu Song said, "Whether I think so is not important. The key is that Feng Feng definitely thinks you're picking a fight. He's her unattainable dream lover that she's had a crush on for years!"
The words "unattainable dream lover" made Shen Su scoff again. "If she has an unattainable dream lover, then she shouldn't come looking for me. I'm not interested."
Gu Song's lips twitched. He suppressed the urge to laugh at Shen Su and examined him closely, his eyes filled with amusement.
Although Gu Song was trying his best to hold back, Shen Su still noticed his suppressed laughter. Shen Su's expression became even more somber. "What are you laughing at? I didn't ask you here to gloat."
Since he had been discovered, Gu Song decided to stop pretending. He laughed openly and unreservedly. Each laugh was like a slap in Shen Su's face. After he had laughed enough, Gu Song said, "I now believe that famous saying has some truth to it."
Shen Su asked, "Which saying?"
Gu Song said, "Love makes people stupid, and men are boys until they die."
Shen Su realized that Gu Song was indirectly calling him childish. He remembered that Feng Feng had also said that before.
Gu Song couldn't help but want to laugh. "You've been in so many relationships, and now you've suddenly turned into a middle schooler. Don't say Feng Feng, even I'm not used to it. What did you say about Wen Zhouyuan?"
Shen Su said, "I didn't say much, just teased him a bit."
After speaking, he added the latter half, "When I teased her about Li Yue before, she didn't react like this. In the end, Wen Zhouyuan is more important to her. I think it's over."
Gu Song tutted. "Here you go again. Don't try that with me. I'm not Feng Feng, and I won't placate you."
As if to further provoke Shen Su, Gu Song delivered another blow. "Oh, Feng Feng didn't placate you either, otherwise, how could you be sitting here drinking with me!"
Shen Su glanced at Gu Song. He didn't get angry at his teasing and poured himself another glass of wine.
After finishing his joke, Gu Song also started to offer Shen Su some advice, first understanding the situation. "Did she not send you any WeChat messages either?"
Shen Su shook his head. "After that night, there was no more news."
Gu Song deliberated. "Why don't you try to be the one to back down this time? I don't think it's realistic to expect Feng Feng to apologize to you."
Gu Song had always felt that Feng Feng's willingness to admit her feelings for Shen Su and pursue him was already a miracle. Shen Su was right to maintain his dignity, but he needed to know when to stop, lest he drive her away.
Shen Su held his wine glass, his eyes narrowed, and remained silent for a long time.
Gu Song could tell that Shen Su was unwilling to back down. This was understandable, as he had already suffered enough losses with Feng Feng in the past. Gu Song's mind raced, and he quickly came up with another idea.
"I have a plan for you, how about it?" Gu Song raised his eyebrows to look at Shen Su.
Shen Su glanced at Gu Song. After all the terrible ideas he had given before, he clearly didn't have much faith in what Gu Song was about to say. Gu Song noticed this. "Don't look at me like that. The methods I thought of before were unreliable because Feng Feng didn't like you. Since she likes you now, my methods should be useful."
Shen Su's expression softened slightly. "Tell me what the method is first."
On Saturday, Feng Feng and Lin Mei went to visit Lan Lan's house together. Lan Lan was pregnant, and Liang Yufeng was almost constantly by her side, afraid of any accidents. Therefore, it was unlikely they could go out and have fun as before.
Feng Feng and Lin Mei stayed there for an afternoon. Jing Chu kept hovering around Lan Lan, occasionally talking to her belly and calling her "wife" several times. Liang Yufeng overheard this once and his face immediately darkened.
In the evening, Feng Feng and Lin Mei stayed at Lan Lan's house for dinner. Liang Yufeng was the chef. After marrying Lan Lan, Liang Yufeng's cooking skills had improved significantly.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very pleasant. Everyone chatted harmoniously, and even the usually quiet Liang Yufeng joined the conversation.
As the dinner was halfway through, Feng Feng's phone suddenly rang. It was Gu Song calling.
Lin Mei, sitting next to Feng Feng, also saw the name on the screen and found it quite unusual. "Why is Gu Song calling you?"
Feng Feng was as surprised as Lin Mei. "I don't know." She rarely contacted Gu Song privately, and had barely contacted him at all recently.
Feng Feng answered the phone out of curiosity and then heard Gu Song's slightly tired voice, "President Feng, are you busy?"
Feng Feng said, "No, I'm not busy. Is there something you need?"
Gu Song said, "Shen Su is here with me. He's drunk and keeps calling your name. He won't leave no matter who comes. If you have time, please come over. Otherwise, I'm really at a loss."
Feng Feng said, "Oh," and confirmed with Gu Song, "He's drunk?"
Feng Feng knew Shen Su's alcohol tolerance. It wasn't easy for him to get drunk.
Gu Song naturally knew Feng Feng was meticulous. He quickly said, "Yes, he drank a lot. I don't know what's wrong, but I can't stop him."
Feng Feng: "I'm on my way."
As soon as she hung up the phone, Feng Feng heard Lan Lan ask, "What mischief are Gu Song and Shen Su up to again, colluding like this?"
