Chapter 246: Extra Episode 6: The Thrill Isn’t Just a Suspension Bridge Effect
If we’re talking about Zhou Xueyin and Wei Jingzhu, the two of them could be seen as a combination of a poor student and a top student. However, Zhou Xueyin couldn’t really be considered a poor student in a strict sense; she just didn’t like to study. She was actually very clever. Otherwise, how could she possibly manage to run a company?
They actually met during their university years while playing games together, but at that time Wei Jingzhu had a girlfriend, and Zhou Xueyin had a boyfriend, so the two were just buddies who could talk about anything.
The topics they discussed most often were about games, the occult, and the like.
Later on, although both had gone through breakups, they didn’t naturally end up together, they just found each other easy to talk to.
Afterward, Zhou Xueyin was busy starting her company, and Wei Jingzhu was busy looking for a job, leading them to inadvertently miss many years together.
During that time, there were several moments of crisis when they came into physical contact, but both of them concluded that it was just an illusion of a racing heart caused by the misattribution of arousal effect.
It wasn’t until the earthquake, when Wei Jingzhu was near the affected area, that after he was safe, the first person he thought of was Zhou Xueyin. That was when he realized how much he liked this girl.
Zhou Xueyin also came to the realization at that time that if she didn’t confess to him, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
So, the first thing she did upon returning to Beijing was to make a mutual confession. All that talk about the misattribution of arousal effect— they must have already had feelings for each other at the time but just didn’t want to admit it.
