Zhuang Yu gave me a glance, looked at Wu Yu, and suddenly the expression on his face was the same as when he first met him - awkward, ambiguous, surprised, gossipy, pretending to be calm... I held back my laughter, pulled Wu Yu's hand, and fulfilled Zhuang Yu's expectations after a year: "Fish, this is my boyfriend."

  The big fish was stunned for several seconds and finally spat out two words: "Damn it!"

  The twilight glow enveloped the coffee shop, we sat by the window, Wu Yu beside me, Zhang Yuxin's emotions were absolutely excited but she sat across from us with a calm expression. And when I lowered my head, I could see the green plants spreading out under the windowsill.

  In the past, I could still tell Zhuang Yu all about it, telling her all the twists and turns of time flowing backwards and the reasons for forgetting. But now, it seems that there is no need to confess anymore. Because she will forget again like everyone else, and I will become a vague shadow in her memory once more.

  So even if I'm sitting across from her right now, I especially miss her. So I said: "Zhuang Yu, order whatever you want, eat whatever you want, we're treating. Because you're my best friend."

  Wu Yu heard this and simply gently grasped my hand.

  Zhuang Yu fell silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to glance at our clasped hands and said: "Of course I'll just casually order and eat. Showing off love isn't like that... You guys are bullying the single dog."

  I: “……”

  I took out the first-aid kit that Wu Yu brought and told her our request: "There is a professor at Qing University in Beijing named Chen Liangjie, whose hometown is in Dali County... We want to ask you to find a way to put this xiangzi on the attic of Chen's house before next month, without them noticing."

  This time it's a big fish: "......"

  Wu Yu said: "Good luck, take care."

  He gave me a glance, with an expression that seemed to say "do I look familiar to you?" Then he stared at me again, as if wanting to ask something, but hesitated. Finally, he devoured the remaining cheesecake in front of him and said: "Is it very important?"

  I nodded: "It's very important. If we can't make it, Ou Yu and I will die."

  The big fish stared with wide eyes, and after a moment of silence, said: "Alright, I'll definitely do it for you. A gentleman's word is as good as a fast horse's whip. Otherwise, I'll be a single dog for the rest of my life!"

  Wu Yu and I both laughed.

  I don't know what method the strong fish thought of later, but at this moment, we really know that she did it. Although the satellite phone was damaged for some reason later on. I sincerely wish her not to be a single dog for life.

  After eating, I held Zhāng Yú's hand and strolled around the campus, with Wū Yuē following behind us. Zhāng Yú was probably a celebrity, as many people looked at us along the way, and some even looked at Wū Yuē.

  The strong fish whispered to me: "Hey, confess honestly, when did you get this boyfriend? Last month before going on a cruise, he was clearly still a single dog."

  My heart skipped a beat, and I said slowly: "This is quite a long story, want to hear it?"

  Zhuang Yu: "I just can't stand your pretentious look of wanting to speak but still trying to sell a favor."

  I burst out laughing.

  I asked her: "Is he handsome?"

  "To be objective, he's a handsome man that any woman can't help but open her legs for. However, he still doesn't quite fit my aesthetic taste, you know? I like the obedient little wolf dog type."

  The obedient little wolf dog...... I thought, could Shen Shiyan be this type?

  Looking up at the pitch-black sky, and the lamp posts in the campus, it's incredibly quiet. I said: "Fish, actually when I met him, he wasn't like this. He was much more handsome than now, had a stronger masculine aura, eight-pack abs, holding a wrench, wearing a tank top... can you imagine that scene? But now, sigh..."

  "Jiao Jiao, I can hear."

  ……

  After walking around the campus for three circles and also talking with Zhuang Yu for three circles, my phone rang.

  At first I didn't pay much attention, picked up the phone and took a look, still hadn't reacted yet.

  Sender: Shen Shiyan.

  "Tan Jiao hello, you mentioned before that you wanted some reference materials for the volume, I've already applied for them. I'll give them to you when it's convenient. Take care."

  I: “……”

  Speak clearly and concisely, never ambiguous or entangled.

  It suddenly occurred to me that this was just after I broke up with Shen Shiyan, and unexpectedly he didn't hold a grudge against me, but still remembered the favor I had asked of him.

  I raised my head and glanced sideways at the idle fat fish beside me.

  Time really flies like an arrow.
