"That Liu Hua, he's really pitiful," Su Qianqian said with a tone full of sympathy.
Ye Xuan thought about Liu Hua's expression—it was clear he was still hung up on that girl named Xiao Zhu.
Turning to Su Qianqian, Ye Xuan said, "Your place is nearby. I think I'll go have a chat with Liu Hua."
"Alright," Su Qianqian nodded understandingly. "I can walk the rest of the way. It's really close. You go ahead."
After seeing Su Qianqian off, Ye Xuan took out his phone and dialed Liu Hua's number.
"Ye Xuan? Is that you?" Liu Hua's voice was tinged with surprise, but Ye Xuan could hear the sadness behind it.
Understanding his friend's mood, Ye Xuan said, "I'm feeling down. Got time to grab a drink?"
This was Ye Xuan's thoughtful way of easing into the situation. He knew Liu Hua needed to drown his sorrows but phrased it as if he needed company himself.
Liu Hua was stunned for a moment. The timing was uncanny—he needed to drink his heart out more than anyone else right now.
"Sure. When and where?"
"Now," Ye Xuan said casually. "Where are you? I'll come to you."
"I'm near Xidan Joy City," Liu Hua replied.
"Wow, really? What a coincidence. I'm nearby too! Tell me exactly where you are, and I'll be right over," Ye Xuan said in 'surprise.'
Ten minutes later, Ye Xuan parked his car in the garage and met up with Liu Hua.
There wasn't much small talk; men's friendships didn't need it.
True brotherhood has a special quality—no matter the time apart, three drinks in, and it's like nothing ever changed. This is something unique to men's bonds, distinct from how women maintain friendships.
After three rounds, Liu Hua couldn't hold back anymore. He started spilling everything, sipping his bitter liquor while venting.
"I met a girl named Xiao Zhu," he began. "Honestly, lately I've wanted nothing more than to get wasted and forget everything."
"I'm at my breaking point. I can't take it anymore."
For over an hour, Liu Hua poured his heart out, recounting his love story with Xiao Zhu—the ups, the downs, the heartbreak.
"Do you love her?" Ye Xuan asked.
Liu Hua shook his head. "I don't even know."
But Ye Xuan had already figured it out. The way Liu Hua reacted to Xiao Zhu's feelings, the way he knew she still loved Yan Cheng, and how he even called Yan Cheng to pick her up—it all pointed to one thing: Liu Hua truly loved Xiao Zhu.
Why else would he tolerate her phone's unlock code being another man's birthday or having that man saved as "Darling"?
If it were Ye Xuan, he'd have ended things without hesitation. But Liu Hua was different. He even went so far as to notify his rival to pick up his own girlfriend.
That kind of selflessness could only mean one thing: Liu Hua deeply loved Xiao Zhu.
Ye Xuan decided it was time to help his buddy.
"How about we create a little drama for Xiao Zhu and Yan Cheng?" Ye Xuan suggested with a sly smile.
"With money, we could test Yan Cheng's true character. What do you say?"
"Let's go! I'll take you for a ride!" Ye Xuan pulled Liu Hua to his feet and led him to the parking garage.
"Whoa! This car is yours? A Rolls-Royce?!"
Liu Hua's jaw dropped when he saw Ye Xuan's car. His sorrow seemed to evaporate in an instant.
"Yeah, it's mine. Get in," Ye Xuan said casually.
"I… I..." Liu Hua hesitated, overwhelmed by the luxury. He carefully climbed into the car, afraid to even breathe too hard.
Ye Xuan laughed. "Relax, it won't break."
The whole ride, Liu Hua couldn't stop stammering. He was utterly shocked.
"This car must cost millions, right? How did you afford it? You're amazing!"
Ye Xuan teased, "Weren't you just heartbroken? Now it's all forgotten, huh?"
Liu Hua: "..."
Ye Xuan added, "I have a plan to make Xiao Zhu forget about her ex."
Liu Hua's eyes lit up. "What's the plan?"
"You know the saying, 'Never test a person's heart'? I could use money to test Yan Cheng, but only if you want to. If you're not up for it, I won't play the bad guy. It's a bit shady, after all."
Liu Hua hesitated. "Let me think about it."
The next day, Ye Xuan returned to his delivery job. He covered nine neighborhoods, three urban villages, and a school—over 200 packages delivered—but still no Special Deliveries.
He felt a bit disappointed.
What Ye Xuan didn't realize was that at one of the neighborhoods, a girl who received a delivery was so impressed by him that she couldn't stop raving about him on her social media.
Her post read:
"I'm only using Shunfeng from now on! This new delivery guy is so handsome and has great style! Tomorrow, I'm going to say I don't have cash and ask to pay via WeChat. →_→"
She even snapped a candid photo of Ye Xuan and shared it.
What she didn't expect was how quickly her post would go viral.
Her friends flooded the comments:
"This guy is seriously good-looking!"
"Not just good-looking—he's got such amazing style! It's rare to see guys like that these days."
"Props to his taste. Most handsome guys don't even know how to dress well."
"Where's this delivery hub? I'm going there tomorrow!"
"Xiaoxiao, if you manage to get his WeChat, you have to share it. Don't make me come after you."
One particularly smitten commenter even shared the post to Weibo, which sparked a wave of buzz online.
