"What's unfortunate? Why would being friends scare you? You like men, not women. My fiancé may be possessive, but he knows your sexual orientation. He can't be your rival and won't think less of you, so we can still be friends."
Qian interrupted Li Zhen's thoughts.
Li Zhen was left speechless by her words.
"You know that's not what I mean—"
"Oh, are you afraid I'll be jealous if you and Xiaoqiang hit it off? That's even more unlikely. Although you are cousins, Shi Touyu has drawn many manga with themes like this, calling it a 'forbidden love.' Ugh, these comic book writers and novelists are misleading everyone—rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows!"
"That's not what I mean!" Li Zhen hadn't realized earlier how good Qian was at interrupting.
"So what you mean is, you're afraid you'll get together with Yu Minglang and I'll get jealous? Don't worry, as long as I'm here, he won't fall in love with any man or woman. I'm confident in that."
