The Villain Just Want to Be a Slacker [Transmigration]

82

The phrase "I've fallen for Teacher He" felt shockingly absurd no matter how Ye Zexi looked at it.

But once the thought took root, it was impossible to shake off.

In just a few short seconds, his mind was completely filled with this idea.

Had he really fallen for Teacher He?

That couldn't be true, right? But if not, how else could he explain it?

As confusion set in, Ye Zexi began to ponder deeply.

Did he really like He Jinyun?

It didn't seem that way—at least he hadn't noticed any special feelings toward He Jinyun.

Well, except for today, when he felt irritated after receiving no messages from He Jinyun all day.

But wasn't it normal to get upset when a good friend doesn't reply for a whole day?

After contemplating for a while, Ye Zexi finally spoke, "Uh... I have a question."

"Go ahead." During Ye Zexi's silent reflection, Li Weifei had downed another glass of wine and ordered some snacks. He was now cracking sunflower seeds while waiting for Ye Zexi to speak.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Zexi carefully chose his words: "I have a friend..."

Li Weifei: "..."

Alright, looks like "the friend" is you.

Ye Zexi stared down at the reflection of the lights in his glass, completely missing the brief flash of disdain on his friend's face.

"Well... how should I put this? My friend's been dealing with a bit of a situation lately."

Li Weifei patiently replied, "Mm, go on."

Clearing his throat, Ye Zexi continued, "This friend of mine has another really close friend, and they chat frequently. But just recently, my friend sent a message, and the other person didn't reply for two whole days. Now my friend's feeling pretty down about it."

Li Weifei quickly pieced things together.

So, Ye Zexi has a very close friend, and they often chat. A day or two ago, Ye Zexi messaged this "good friend," but the friend didn't reply in a timely manner, leaving Ye Zexi upset.

The reason for today's drinking session? Ye Zexi was brooding over this.

"That just means your friend really cares about their friend," Li Weifei said succinctly.

Ye Zexi nodded. "So that's what it is?"

Li Weifei rolled his eyes—though not noticeably. "What else could explain the frustration? It's not just simple caring, it's deep caring."

"But even if you care, would it bother you for two whole days?" Ye Zexi frowned. "Between friends..."

"Have you considered the possibility that your friend may care about this person in a way that's more than just friendship?" Li Weifei said as he continued cracking seeds.

Ye Zexi: "..."

"But between good friends, if one doesn't reply for a long time, it's natural to feel a little annoyed, right?" Ye Zexi tried to argue.

Li Weifei cut straight to the point: "Would you get mad if I didn't reply for a day?"

Ye Zexi answered instantly, "No."

Li Weifei gave him a knowing look.

Ye Zexi: "..."

Well, that's a disaster.
