“Would it be inherently problematic to use a rational mind to explore something as fundamentally irrational as love?”
Qin Zhou frowned but said nothing.
“Besides, have you ever loved someone, Qin Zhou? What do you know about relationships? Having been with a woman doesn’t mean you’ve loved! In fact, I don’t think you can understand what it’s like to like someone!”
Hua Jin’s words shook the manager to the core. He had never really been in love? Those women in the past… those weren’t relationships?
Qin Zhou snapped out of his reverie and glanced coldly at the actor through the rear-view mirror. He was clearly annoyed. “You seem to be talking a lot today.”
“Uh…” The actor realized that Qin Zhou was getting impatient, so he said, “I’ve had too much to drink. I hope you don’t mind.”
The manager snorted but said nothing more. Things fell into silence in the car.
To Qin Zhou, feelings should be a reason for equal exchange. Exchanging a sense of security for some warmth and affection. To him, it was just a ritual of exchange. The reason why people liked someone was purely because they were lonely. Therefore, to fort themselves, they would fall in love without caring about their own safety.
Ultimately, human beings are selfish creatures. To find emotional sustenance, they will seek out someone to satisfy their “private desires”.
Therefore, Qin Zhou had never thought much of relationships. He felt that true love was overrated. He didn’t like to be superficial. A relationship was just two people seeking self gratification in the name of love.
Hua Jin asked, “Do you like her?”
Qin Zhou said nothing.
The actor nudged his arm. “Answer my question!”
Qin Zhou replied with a question instead, “Do you have to like someone back just because she likes you?”
Hua Jin laughed and was quick to deny, “I never said that!”
Qin Zhou smiled. “I wouldn’t say I like her! I just think she’s a bit interesting. Sometimes I think she’s cute.”
There hadn’t been a girl like that around him for years. It gave him a different kind of joy.
The actor tsked at him. “If you don’t like her, you should end it with her as soon as possible. From what I know of her, she’s such a wimp that she’d never confess to you so early! At this rate, she might spend years of her youth on you. If you don’t like her, don’t hold her up for nothing. But I think feelings can be cultivated! I think Liang Yin is pretty good.”
His agent hissed. “So, are you trying to set us up or dissuade us?”
“I didn’t say anything. Whatever happens is your decision. I’m just an observer!” He continued enviously, “It’s nice that there’s such a simple, single-minded girl in the world. Liking someone in silence, having your heart go crazy over who he is and everything he does. I haven’t felt that way in a long time.”
A crush is the truest feeling in the world. Liking someone in secret, having your world light up suddenly because of his smile. Or maybe even have a raging storm turn your world upside down because of something he said. You are joyful because of him, you are sorrowful because of him.
