If You Don't Fall In Love, You'll Die Chapter 94 - Side Story (3) - Gu Xi said, “I Teased a Little

Chapter 94 - Side Story (3) – Gu Xi said, “I Teased a Little Dog.”

Editor: Amaris

This is awkward.

How could Shen Jiaze expect that karma would actually co so soon for him?

According to common sense, Shen Jiaze should dish out an explanation now, sothing like how he only said that without much thinking to put off the girl, that he didn’t actually like Gu Xi.

But fate was truly a nonsensical thing.

Gu Xi who had co out from the shadow was standing right below a warm, white light.

Gu Xi’s facial features were beautiful. His skin seed to be glossy because of the light, so delicate that not even his pores could be seen... At this mont, his amorous eyes were perked up and he was smiling faintly. There was sothing indescribable about his looks that they fell into Shen Jiaze’s heart and made him feel an inexplicable itch at its tip.

Shen Jiaze knew that Gu Xi was deliberately ‘provoking’ him. However, President Shen feared neither Heaven nor earth at this point. Didn’t he himself make it clear that he liked Gu Xi?

Shen Jiaze also smiled. He simply said without thinking logically, “Yes, I like you.”

Gu Xi, “...”

What a bullheaded brat!

How could Gu Xi concede to him at this point? Thus, he decided to execute a killer move. “What a coincidence. I like you, too.”

Shen Jiaze knew very well that Gu Xi was talking nonsense, yet he couldn’t help but clench his fingers into a fist.

Gu Xi himself didn’t know what kind of ntality he had right now. He didn’t even know the boy’s na and everything was still unclear. Nevertheless, seeing the boy’s look made Gu Xi blurted out a series of words, “Since we like each other, why don’t we try dating?”

Shen Jiaze could almost be sure that his heart had stopped beating for a mont. His throat felt tight and parched that his voice sounded a lot lower when he asked, “You want to date ?”

Gu Xi’s eyes were in a curve as he smiled. “Is that alright?”

Shen Jiaze stretched out his hand abruptly, grabbing Gu Xi’s wrist. He questioned Gu Xi closely, “Gu Xi, you want to date ?”

Brother Xi felt a bit terrified at this mont. He didn’t know how to describe it, he sowhat felt that there seed to be a fireball in the boy’s eyes?

However, he had spoken so much and was already in too deep, he definitely wouldn’t just admit defeat!

Besides, the boy’s look was absolutely Gu Xi’s type. It didn’t matter even if they dated right away, because it wouldn’t be him who would lose out.

Gu Xi completely portrayed what it ant by ‘no zuo no die’. He said, “Yeah, I want to date you.”

Shen Jiaze suddenly tightened his grip and actually made Gu Xi feel a little pained.

The two were looking at each other in the empty eting venue, waiting for each other to compromise. However, none of them would concede.

After so ti had passed, Shen Jiaze finally asked, “Do you know my na?”

Gu Xi, “...” Man, I really have no idea.

Shen Jiaze approached Gu Xi, stared right into his eyes, then said with an exceptionally earnest voice, “Shen Jiaze. Gu Xi, my na is Shen Jiaze.”

For so reason, Gu Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

Shen Jiaze left upon saying that.

It took quite a while before Gu Xi collected his thoughts.

He’s very...handso.

After waking up from a night’s sleep, Gu Xi had nearly forgotten all of the joking matters from yesterday evening. He simply didn’t take the confession and the dating things seriously at all.

However, soone else seed to have taken it seriously.

Gu Xi had the habit of jogging in the morning. He usually went out to jog at around 6.30 AM. When he ca back from his jog, he noticed that soone was standing at his dormitory’s door.

The person was leaning against the wall as he looked down at his cellphone. His posture wasn’t proper, but his figure made him look incredibly fine: broad shoulder, slim waist, and long legs. God really has his favorite child, huh.

The way he played his cellphone in a bored manner looked very good, as if it was a painting.

Gu Xi called out, “Good morning.”

Shen Jiaze raised his head and imdiately saw the man who had just returned from his usual morning jog.

It was a warm spring season at that ti, thus Gu Xi’s sportswear was drenched with sweat. It made his already exquisite features beco sexier than ever.

Shen Jiaze’s throat felt parched that his voice was a bit hoarse when he answered, “Morning.”

Gu Xi asked, “You ca to see ?”

Shen Jiaze tried his best to shift his gaze away from Gu Xi’s collarbone. “Mn.”

Gu Xi’s manner was friendly, yet sowhat estranged when he asked, “What’s the matter?”

His cold voice is really... Shen Jiaze felt like the wrath of his inner ‘demon’ rushing into his head. He raised his eyebrows and said, “We’re dating.”

Gu Xi, “...” He still rembers even though it’s a new day?

Shen Jiaze deliberately provoked Gu Xi when he asked, “Why? Was Senior only teasing yesterday?”

Yeah, I was only teasing you. Gu Xi sneered inside his heart: Doesn’t it look like you’re the one teasing now instead?

But since it seems like you want to continue ‘playing’, bring it on. Who’s even afraid of you?

Gu Xi said with a smile on his face, “How could I? Things like dating isn’t so trifling matter that I’d just speak thoughtlessly about it.”

Shen Jiaze continued to deliberately say, “In that case, it’s normal for two people who are dating to have breakfast together, right?”

Gu Xi smiled. “Very normal.”

Shen Jiaze’s heart thumped in response to Gu Xi’s smile. He shifted his gaze and said, “I’ll wait for you. You should take a bath and change your clothes first.”

After he said that, Shen Jiaze stepped aside and Gu Xi went to open the door. As their distance grew closer, Shen Jiaze saw Gu Xi’s fair-skinned neck at a glance... His heart thumped so wildly that he couldn’t help but take a step back.

Gu Xi simply thought that it was funny. This boy couldn’t even get used to approaching him, yet he dared to claim that they were dating? Really, what a bullheaded boy! His illness must be cured.

Gu Xi opened the dormitory door. He stayed in a single room, so it was pretty convenient for him to tidy things up. The room didn’t look like most boys’ dormitory rooms at all.

Once Shen Jiaze had gotten inside, he was imdiately astonished.

The university dormitory forbade housekeeping staff to go in and out as they please. One had to rely on themselves to clean their own rooms.

Shen Jiaze’s mother donated the school building, thus the school’s administrator authorized a dormitory administrator to clean Shen Jiaze’s dormitory.

Most mothers wouldn’t go above and beyond like Shen Jiaze’s mom...uh...well. Hence, Shen Jiaze believed that Gu Xi had cleaned and taken care of his dormitory’s cleanliness by himself.

Shen Jiaze knew Gu Xi’s family background well. Logically, he shouldn’t have known how to do housework chores.

But then again, knowing how to do housework chores had nothing to do with family background. There were many students who were boarding at school; so ca from a well-to-do family, but most ca from an ordinary family. Nevertheless, the number of boys who didn’t know how to clean up accounted for more than 90% of them.

After entering the room, Gu Xi said, “Sit wherever you want. I’ll take a bath first.”

Shen Jiaze responded with a grunt. He couldn’t help but look around for a while.

Gu Xi turned around and went inside the bathroom.

Shen Jiaze sat down in front of the table. He could more or less see Gu Xi’s character by looking at it.

The table was neat and organized. This showed that Gu Xi was probably a little bit of a neat freak

Shen Jiaze took a look at the books which were properly sorted according to the title and number of pages. Noticing that, he couldn’t help but find it quite funny.

Moreover, there was a notebook on the left side of the desk. Looking closely, the book was placed in perfect parallel to the desk.

Shen Jiaze decided to take back his thoughts. He isn’t a little bit of a neat freak, he’s a major neat freak.

The sound of water could be heard from the bathroom. Not long after, Gu Xi ca out. He was wearing a bathrobe, drying his hair with a towel.

Shen Jiaze turned his head to look at Gu Xi. In the end, he beca stiff all over, he turned his head around again stiffly.

Gu Xi, “I have to change.”

Shen Jiaze, “...”

Gu Xi said again, “How about you go out for a bit?”

Shen Jiaze asked, “It’s alright, no? Aren’t we dating?”

Gu Xi laughed. “That’s true.”

After finishing his words, Gu Xi took off his bathrobe. He was only wearing black briefs underneath!

Shen Jiaze didn’t look sideways. He focused himself on counting the number of the books on the desk carefully and seriously.

Gu Xi thought: Looking at won’t gross you out to death.

Gu Xi turned around and looked for clothes in the wardrobe.

Shen Jiaze really didn’t an to take a peek, but there was a small mirror on the desk. As it turned out, the mirror reflected...

Gu Xi’s back was glossy and fair-skinned. He had a beautiful figure, probably because he exercised regularly. His waist was slender, but not feeble. His gorgeous back dimples were almost not covered by his black briefs...

The tip of Shen Jiaze’s nose grew hot. Then, he suddenly got up.

Gu Xi was startled by Shen Jiaze’s sudden movent. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Jiaze responded with a muffled voice, “I have to go out to answer the phone!”

Afterwards, he rushed out to the door with big strides.

Gu Xi laughed joyfully and thought: I’d like to see how long you’re going to be cocky! Dating? What a naïve straight guy.

He thought that Shen Jiaze went out because he was grossed out, but Shen Jiaze actually went out to stop his bleeding...

Shen Jiaze turned on the tap, splashing water onto his face before he finally cald down a long ti later.

The impact of that scene was truly too extre. It was hard for a young and vigorous youngster like him to control himself after seeing that.

Again, Shen Jiaze knew that Gu Xi was teasing him and that he didn’t take things like dating seriously.

He didn’t take it seriously, either, but he wouldn’t concede no matter what. It’s just...just...

Shen Jiaze closed his eyes. All that he had in his mind was Gu Xi.

Naturally, the two didn’t get to eat the first breakfast after they were ‘dating’.

Still, Gu Xi was in a good mood after what happened. Ye Chen asked him, “What are you being so happy for early in this morning? Did sothing good happen?”

Gu Xi said, “I teased a little dog.”

How would Ye Chen understand what he ant? He thought that it was a real dog, thus his eyes imdiately brightened up. “Where did you find it? You aren’t quietly keeping it in your dormitory, are you? Take to look at it!”

Gu Xi smiled. “I didn’t dare keep him.”

Ye Chen thought for a while, then said, “Right, you live at school, after all.”

Gu Xi shook his head. “Nah... I’m just afraid he’ll bite .”

Ye Chen was confused. He said after a while, “It’s a fierce one, huh.”

Gu Xi shot a glance at him. “Co on now, finish your al.”

After finishing a spoonful of congee, Brother Chen even told Gu Xi considerately, “If you want to keep a pet, you must vaccinate it. Especially the rabies.”

Gu Xi couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out a rare laughter.

Ye Chen was even more confused. What’s going on? What he said was serious, what was so funny about them?

Gu Xi was in a good mood all day long. He wore a friendly look when he went to the student council that the administrators were discussing it spiritedly—His Majesty was in a cheerful mood today. Which lady had done good deeds?

Lady Shen...uh, nope...it was Shen Jiaze. He didn’t dare to provoke Gu Xi for the whole day. When night ca, he tossed about in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long ti.

I can’t accept it.

I can’t accept that I lose just like that!

The word ‘lose’ didn’t exist in Shen Jiaze’s book!

The next day, Gu Xi was about to go out for a morning jog when he saw Shen Jiaze.

Shen Jiaze was also wearing sportswear. He asked earnestly, “Let’s go together?”

Gu Xi smiled. “Sure.”

The scenery of the two jogging in the morning was especially wonderful.

On their way, they passed through an open space. There were a few people playing ball. It was unclear who was not being cautious, but a basketball suddenly flew straight to Gu Xi.

Shen Jiaze imdiately caught the ball with one hand before it hit Gu Xi. He suddenly beca furious. “Look where you’re throwing!” Afterwards, he threw the ball back to the person who had thrown the ball at Gu Xi.

What was impressive was that his aim was precise. That person shouted ‘ow’ and crouched down while covering his face. His comrades beca angry because of that. “What the hell are you doing!?”

Shen Jiaze squinted his eyes. One of the people in that group recognized him, so he promptly grabbed the person who had yelled at Shen Jiaze and told him sothing in whispers.

Even though he had been in the university for only a year, it was obvious that Shen Jiaze was quite infamous. When the group learned who he was, they behaved themselves and left. They were in the wrong, after all. This space wasn’t a place to play ball. And if they created troubles, they were the ones who would get the worst of it.

Gu Xi teased Shen Jiaze, “You’re pretty impressive, huh.”

Shen Jiaze was still angry, “If that ball hits you, your face will be swollen.” Especially since you looked so dainty and lovely!

Gu Xi’s heart ward up. “Thanks.”

Great Young Master Shen, who initially had an ‘impressive bearing’, had his face suddenly feel sowhat burned after being thanked by soone. He didn’t look away and simply said indifferently, “What’s there to thank?”

Gu Xi didn’t know what was going on with him so he kept teasing him. “True. You’re my boyfriend after all, saying thanks is too formal.”

Shen Jiaze’s back imdiately beca perfectly straight. He kept a straight face, but his hands and feet were moving at the sa ti for a mont.

Certainly, he quickly adjusted his emotions and began to run dazzlingly and elegantly as ever. He said calmly, “Good that you understand.”

Hey, you are so embarrassed that your hands and feet are going places, yet you’re still trying hard to pretend!? Gu Xi couldn’t contain the smile in his heart anymore, everything was shown clearly in the corner of his eyes.

Fortunately, Shen Jiaze wasn’t looking at Gu Xi at that mont. Otherwise, their morning jog session would be impossible to continue.

The two had breakfast together this morning. What was important was that they parted for a while to take a bath separately and et again after they were dressed neatly.

When they were having a al, Ye Chen saw Gu Xi from the distance and thought of approaching him, but he saw Shen Jiaze in the end.

Shen Jiaze shot a fierce glance at Ye Chen that he imdiately halted his footsteps.

Shen Jiaze had taken Gu Xi away for this al.

Ye Chen blinked, feeling puzzled as he thought: Since when did Brother Xi hang out with that Demon Lord?

At this ti, one of Ye Chen’s little friends ca closer and snatched his ham. He was imdiately distracted and went to the other table while squabbling with his friends.

Shen Jiaze had indigestion throughout the al.

It wasn’t because of the food, it was because of Gu Xi.

After the two sat down, there would always be soone who kept trying to co over.

Firstly, that baby-faced clingy friend of Gu Xi (Ye Chen: I’m being wronged here!), and then the people from the student council—one person, two persons, three persons, four persons, and so on, they just keep coming... Shen Jiaze had stared at them until his eyes turned dry.

Nevertheless, Gu Xi was friendly towards everyone. When soone ca over to talk, he would exchange a few words with them. He would also wear a smile on his face with whoever talked to him. It was no wonder that people wanted to approach him.

In the middle of eating the al, soone who wasn’t wary of the situation eventually sat down beside Gu Xi.

It seed that he was the student council’s secretary. There was sothing he had to discuss with Gu Xi, resulting in them talking for a long ti.

With a thwack, Shen Jiaze put his chopsticks down.

Gu Xi and the secretary looked at Shen Jiaze at the sa ti.

Shen Jiaze said, “I’m having a al with Gu Xi right now, could you please go away?”

The secretary had confusion written all over his face: ???

Gu Xi reacted, he was quite surprised.

Shen Jiaze said fiercely, “You are a third wheel, yet you’re not aware of it?”

The secretary, “!!!” Wh...what the hell!?

Shen Jiaze unexpectedly blurted out, “I’m dating Gu Xi, so could you please not disturb our breakfast ti?”

The secretary: Q!$#%@$%@$%@￥% (his mind had turned into mojibake!)

What was more surprising was that Gu Xi didn’t get angry, nor did he refute it. He actually smiled and said, “We’ll talk about this later.”

Even the president was chasing him away!

The secretary truly had no idea how he should take his leave!

Shen Jiaze’s volu just now wasn’t low. People on the next table must’ve heard everything he said.

He had quite the guts, huh.

Was Gu Xi scared? Jokes on you. The people sitting at the table beside them were mostly his acquaintances. Gu Xi picked up a slice of the roasted bacon and gave it to Shen Jiaze. “Try this, it’s pretty delicious.”

Shen Jiaze was a lot more ‘ruthless’ than Gu Xi. He slightly leaned forward and chomped on Gu Xi’s chopsticks.

This ...made it seem like Gu Xi was feeding Shen Jiaze.

Everyone around them inhaled deeply. Feeling refreshed, Shen Jiaze thought inside his heart: I’ll see if all of you could still approach him, approach my shit!

After eating the bacon, Great Young Master Shen had a tiny bit of guilty conscience. Gu Xi wouldn’t disdain him, right? Because he knew very well that Gu Xi didn’t like him.

Gu Xi was quite mysophobic, but he didn’t really care about that now. His mind was filled with: You want to provoke ? I’ll change my na and surna if I don’t get to cure your illness completely!

Hence, President Gu picked up another slice of bacon, then asked very tenderly, “Do you want to eat more?”

Shen Jiaze, “...”

This ti, Gu Xi took the initiative to move his chopsticks to Shen Jiaze’s mouth.

Did Shen Jiaze end up eating the bacon? Yeah, he ate it, even though the tip of his ears grew a little hot after he did so.

Gu Xi said with a soft voice, “I know a restaurant that served really delicious bacon like this. I’ll take you there next ti.”

Shen Jiaze agreed absent-mindedly.

There was this so-called idiom, ‘the older, the wiser’; even though only one year ‘older’, he would still be ‘wiser’. Gu Xi’s ‘level’ was obviously higher than Shen Jiaze. Gu Xi took out the pocket tissue, got up a bit, then said, “You’ve got sauce in the corner of your mouth.”

After saying so, he helped Shen Jiaze wipe the sauce away.

Shen Jiaze’s whole body froze, and the lon-eating spectators around them were so shocked that they dropped their lons!

Gu Xi was tickled pink. Looking at the dumbfounded Shen Jiaze made him feel incredibly pleased.

Afterwards, they seed to have been dating for real...

Shen Jiaze, who had forever gotten up late, began to wake up right at six o’clock in the morning. He also went on a morning jog with Gu Xi on ti, eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner together with him.

When no one bothered them, they were well-behaved and looked like ordinary brothers.

However, Gu Xi was very likable. This resulted in Shen Jiaze starting to get angry whenever soone approached Gu Xi and couldn’t stop himself to ‘declare his sovereignty’.

The instant he ‘declared sovereignty’, Gu Xi began to think that Shen Jiaze was provoking him, resulting in him promptly ‘going along’ with whatever Shen Jiaze was doing.

Their ‘public display of affection’ had almost made the lon-eating spectators around them blind!

Almost a month later, Ye Chen who was late to catch on finally noticed that they seed to be ‘dating’.

Gu Xi didn’t hide his sexual orientation. Most of his ‘trusted aides’ in the student council knew about it. Still, it was limited to them, of course; outsiders didn’t know about it. Him making a ‘public display of affection’ with Shen Jiaze was also limited to a few people.

They avoid getting involved in a taboo subject, after all. Otherwise, their parents might forcefully close the school down. Thinking about it sent chills down their spines.

In the classroom, Ye Chen poked Gu Xi and asked, “What’s going on with you and Shen Jiaze?”

Gu Xi replied, “I’m teasing him.”

Ye Chen paused for a mont to think, but still couldn’t make heads or tails of it. “What do you an by teasing him??”

Gu Xi eventually explained to Ye Chen about everything that had happened from beginning to end.

Hearing Gu Xi’s explanations, Ye Chen was flabbergasted. “You two...are really...sothing...”

Gu Xi, “I’d like to see how long he could hold on.”

Ye Chen went silent. After staring at the book for a while, he approached Gu Xi and asked again, “You think he’s competing with you?”

Gu Xi, “Otherwise?” Shen Jiaze was hot-tempered, and that was why Gu Xi loved to tease him most.

Ye Chen kept silent. A long ti later, however, he couldn’t help but say, “I don’t understand you two.”

Gu Xi asked, “What made you think so?”

Ye Chen put himself in Shen Jiaze’s shoes and thought for a while before saying, “No matter how I see it, it’d be impossible for . Getting up at six to accompany you on a morning jog; waiting for you to have a al together on ti everyday; learning what you like to eat, the places you frequented, and what you like to do; all of them just to compete with you...”

Gu Xi was struck dumb by Ye Chen’s words.

Ye Chen shook his head. “I won’t be able to do it. Let alone the other thing, thinking about having to get up at six is enough to make give up.”

After speaking for a while, Ye Chen himself still couldn’t figure out the reason, but Gu Xi had co to a realization.

The spectators see the chess ga better than the players. Even though Ye Chen didn’t explain it in full detail, his words were enough to cause Gu Xi to have a sudden realization.

Gu Xi realized that...Shen Jiaze might have probably...

This doesn’t look good!

Gu Xi imdiately had alarm bells ringing in his head. He suddenly sobered up.

Competing and playing with each other were alright, but being serious was a no-go.

Gu Xi thought about it throughout the lesson. The more he thought of it, the more he realized that he had ssed up.

Shen Jiaze had been continuously accompanying Gu Xi for morning jogs for a month. This kind of thing...wasn’t sothing that anyone would be able to do for so long.

Although one could see that Shen Jiaze must have exercised regularly, it was different from a morning jog. Most people could get into the habit of running, that was true, but not everyone could get past the hurdle of getting up early.

Nevertheless, Shen Jiaze had been waiting for Gu Xi outside the door on ti every morning.

Gu Xi began to feel that Shen Jiaze might have taken this ‘ga’ seriously.

Did Shen Jiaze truly like him?

Gu Xi didn’t feel like provoking Shen Jiaze anymore.

The reason was no other but Shen Jiaze’s family.

Even though Gu Xi was originally not straight, he wouldn’t cause trouble out of nowhere. He simply wanted to find soone he liked and be faithful to him to the end. As a result, he would consider a lot of things if he wanted to date soone seriously.

Gu Xi’s own family was already a large ‘barrier’ for him, he didn’t want to add more problems by getting involved with the Shen Family.

This was getting out of hand. The obstacles that ca from one’s family really could drive soone crazy.

Gu Xi wouldn’t take the risks if he didn’t intend to be serious in love.

Shen Jiaze was really amusing, but that was it; Gu Xi mustn’t be in a serious relationship with him. The future would be a bumpy road ahead if they did. Gu Xi wouldn’t ruin his own life.

Gu Xi was soone who would quickly act on what he had decided, thus, he began to alienate Shen Jiaze.

He felt a bit unaccustod to it, but it was still not too late now. This would be the best for both of them.

When he went for his morning jog, Gu Xi would deliberately go out earlier. He would even use another jogging route, completely avoiding Shen Jiaze.

Gu Xi unexpectedly felt sowhat lonely now that he had suddenly returned to jogging by himself.

Gu Xi took a bath, then ate breakfast. Ye Chen glanced around, resulting in Gu Xi asking him, “What are you looking at?”

“Where’s Shen Jiaze?”

Gu Xi replied, “I don’t feel like teasing him anymore.”

Ye Chen was confused. “Did you two...break up?”

Gu Xi, “What break up? I was only teasing him.”

Ye Chen, “You two are really...impressive...”

Hearing his words, Gu Xi inexplicably felt a bit distressed. “Eat your al!”

Shen Jiaze didn’t show up until evening.

Gu Xi felt relieved yet upset at the sa ti.

He must’ve been overthinking. There was no way Shen Jiaze would like him.

In fact... Gu Xi was suddenly aware that they had actually not exchanged numbers even though they had been ‘together’ for a month.

Which was why, he must have overthought it.

Gu Xi had a sleepless night, rolling on his bed all night.

In the end, Shen Jiaze didn’t co to look for him even after two days had passed.

Gu Xi lived his life like usual. He looked relaxed but felt extrely restless inside his heart.

On the weekend, Gu Xi’s cousin pestered him to go window-shopping with her.

Gu Xi didn’t exactly feel good staying at ho, so he agreed to go out with her.

After strolling around for a while, Gu Xi was nearly tired to death. His cousin said, “Alright, alright, let’s rest for a while. I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee.”

Gu Xi needed a rest, indeed.

Hence, the two went to a café together. Just as they sat down, a low and cold voice could be heard, “Gu Xi!”

Gu Xi turned his head and saw Shen Jiaze. He also noticed his arm that was put in a cast...

What happened to his arm? I didn’t see him for only a few days, yet it was broken?

Gu Xi was worried, wanting to ask what had happened to Shen Jiaze.

However, Shen Jiaze had beaten him to it. He got up and approached Gu Xi with large strides.

It was dreadfully intimidating when tall people like him looked down on people like this.

Gu Xi’s cousin felt inexplicably diffident, she didn’t even know why.

Shen Jiaze looked at them, then asked with a cold voice, “Who is she?”

Gu Xi spoke at almost the sa ti with Shen Jiaze, “What happened to your arm?”
