Zhuang Yu's astonished expression remained, and I could even feel that she was tense and on guard as we walked into the room. I rolled up the quilt on the sofa and woke up Tang Jiao, who was dozing off, then went to the bathroom to wash up. Then I heard two women's urgent and high-pitched voices coming from outside.

  When I came out after washing up, the two women were already sitting on the bed with different expressions. Tan Jiao had a helpless but lazy expression, while Zhuang Yu was openly sizing me up. I don't know what Tan Jiao said to her, but she clearly didn't plan to let me off so easily, this man who shared a room with her best friend.

  After Tang Jiao finished washing up, we three sat facing each other. Tang Jiao said: "Now I'll get to the point."

  Zhuang Yu said: "Oh, don't let the master of this house speak?"

  Tan Jiao gave me a speechless expression, glanced at me quickly and said: "Zhuang Yu, he's not the male lead! We're just together because of something important."

  "Wow, what an important thing."

  Tan Jiao: "I'm going!"

  Such a dialogue scene is surprisingly similar to when I met Zhang Yu at Tan Jiao's house last time.

  I couldn't help but laugh, and Tan Jiao probably remembered this too, looking at me also laughing. We stared at each other for a few seconds, when the muscular fish next to us suddenly cursed, "Are you guys treating me like I'm blind? This is what you call nothing?! So Da Zhu really was slept with?! You, this house girl, actually... No way, I need to calm down, go out and get some fresh air, accept this fact..."

  I didn't expect that the bold fish would be such a delicate girl, speaking so recklessly. I only felt my eyebrow twitching suddenly, and subconsciously looked at Tan Jiao. Her face turned red instantly, and she avoided eye contact with me, then pulled back the bold fish that was about to swim away randomly, covering her mouth: "You're going to say something outrageous again, you're exhausting our friendship!"

  The majestic fish finally calmed down. It just stared at us with a rather revealing gaze.

  Tan Jiao said yesterday that it would be too complicated and hard to believe if he explained the whole story to Zhuang Yu again, so he might as well just get straight to the point.

  "Brilliant idea! Whether you believe it or not, just help us brainstorm and that's all." Tan Jiao started.

  Zhuang Yu's expression turned serious. Since Tan Jiao trusted her so much, he temporarily believed that this girl who was as stubborn as an old man would have some skills.

  Tan Jiao said: "There were two people, they once took a cruise trip, but after returning, one lost the memory of the trip, and the other lost nearly a year's worth of memories. Later on, they found out that every half month, they would return to that cruise ship once again. That is to say..." Tan Jiao pulled out paper and pen, speaking as he marked down the dates of our repeated cycles, drawing many lines.

  "How was it? Did you notice anything? What did you feel?"

  Zhuang Yu took the paper and stared at it for a long time, saying: "This setting is interesting, let me think about it."

  Tan Jiao said calmly: "Good." As our eyes met, he suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly looked away. The words that Zhuang Yu had just spoken suddenly echoed in my ears again, and my heart skipped a beat.

  The cup in front of Tan Jiao was empty, so I picked up the thermos to refill it for her. But she immediately reached out and grabbed the cup, and the hot water dripping from the spout fell onto her fingers. She let out a cry of "ah", and my hand moved faster than hers as she withdrew it, grasping it in an instant. We both froze for a moment in mid-air, before I released my grip. Tan Jiao calmly pulled back her finger, lowered her head to blow on it a couple of times, as if nothing had happened.
