Chapter 37: Fighting with the Fake White Lotus (I)

Question 1: What does white lotus mean?

Answer: He is untainted by the mud, kind, simple and has no scheming.

Question 2: What does “white lotus” in double quotation marks mean?

Yu Huo: She looks pretty, but she’s obviously bad (Bah!)

☆

The original owner was also called Yu Huo, and he looked... horrible to look at.

[Unfortunate 945: She's actually quite pretty. Isn't her makeup just smudged?]

Yu Huo looked at the person in the mirror with a red and green face and twitched his lips.

Then he bent down, turned on the faucet, and washed his face slowly.

The original person was an international student, and a gay!

The family's financial situation was okay in China, but when they went abroad where supplies were scarce, the little bit of RMB they had was a bit stretched.

A watermelon costs hundreds of dollars, I really can't afford it.

A person who was already lazy, fickle and extravagant could not live in poverty where he could not even afford a watermelon. So he used his little experience in love and became a master of time management, and finally achieved his small goal of eating watermelon freely.

During that period, he was deeply in love with this one and that one and couldn't control himself, so he was reluctant to break up with either of them. He just kept everyone hanging, and fortunately nothing happened.

This is also the reason why the original owner categorized each contact in his phone. He was just raising fish!

Yu Huo took a towel and wiped the water stains off his face: "This is too social! Damn it!!"

He threw the towel onto the mirror, and his eyes paused slightly when he met the gentle and handsome young man in it.

After a long while, he finally said, "Is the original owner sick? What's his purpose in wearing makeup? To make himself look ugly?!"

[Rogue 945: Mission target locked, vampire—Jiang Feng? ? ?]

"What did you say his name was?"

Yu Huo no longer cared about appreciating the appearance of his new body. If looking very similar was a coincidence, then having the same name was definitely not a coincidence.

There is a big problem here!

[Rage 945: Wait a moment, host. I'm submitting a report to the main system.]

While waiting, the sound of a door being pushed open was heard outside the bathroom, followed by a standard British accent roaring outside the door: "Open the door! Yu Huo, are you planning to live in the toilet?"

The original person lived in a double dormitory. His roommate was named Evan Barre. They had the same major - jewelry design. He came from a wealthy family and usually looked down on the original person's behavior of hooking up with men for benefits. He always called him a "man-digger" behind his back!

[Ranzhong945: Host, the main system has read the message but cannot reply, what should I do?]

Yu Huo narrowed his eyes and suppressed his anxiety: "Forget it, I'll go back after this mission is over. First, you can exchange it for a Jieyu Pill for me."

Although he has the memories of his original body, knowledge is really hard to steal. He hasn't even passed the CET-4, so he has a lot of problems communicating in this world.

His current situation is that he can understand but cannot speak. Fortunately, the system can help him cheat.

During this time, the person outside was still kicking the door relentlessly. Yu Huo turned around and turned the door handle. The blocking force disappeared, and the person outside lost his balance and rushed in, his legs still kicking the door.

Yu Huo quickly shifted his body and raised his hand to support the man, preventing him from hitting the ground face-first.

His roommate was a little curly girl with light brown hair. She was particularly petite among the tall Westerners, with big eyes and long eyelashes, like a doll.

I just have a bit of a bad temper.

He first stood up nimbly with the help of Yu Huo's arm, then turned around and glared at him: "Why did you suddenly open the door... Uh, who are you?"

Yu Huo looked at his roommate whose expression changed in an instant, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Your roommate, Yu Huo."

Evan was confused: "Ah...you had plastic surgery?"

Yu Huo shook his head, gave the bathroom to the other person, and returned to his bed yawning.

Evan stood there stupidly until he heard the sound of gradually steady breathing in the room. Then he blinked and said, "So this is what he looks like~"

It’s no wonder that people didn’t recognize him. His original self wore heavy makeup every day and went out early and came back late, so no one knew what he looked like. Today was the first time people saw his true appearance.

It's unexpectedly beautiful!

After a long while, Evan seemed to remember what kind of person his roommate was. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "Evan, wake up! He's a gold digger!!"

In the early hours of the morning, the phone next to his pillow vibrated and buzzed, but Yu Huo turned over and ignored it.

After a while, the man called again. Evan, who was on the bed opposite, clicked his tongue impatiently and said, "Yu Huo, please control your phone."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huo closed his eyes and answered the phone. The other end of the phone seemed to be in another world. The tinkling music of the palm trees and the DJ's roar were so loud that it gave him a headache.

Yu Huo moved the phone further away: "Who?"

"Yu Huo, come out and play!" The man spoke drunkenly and with a playful smile.

Yu Huo thought about it in his mind and realized that this might be one of the original body's boyfriends. He then sighed and refused decisively: "No."

"Hey, don't you want a new phone? Come here, I'll buy it for you."

"I don't want to change." Yu Huo frowned impatiently. Adhering to the principle of cutting the Gordian knot quickly and cleanly, he announced bluntly: "Let's break up."

The person on the other end of the line was puzzled: "Why?"

"We're not a good match."

"Is that inappropriate?"

"My problem."

"What's your problem?"

Yu Huo was already annoyed, and the constant questioning made him even more angry: "I have gigantic fear. I'm afraid of big idiots! Are you satisfied with this reason?!"

After yelling this, he hung up the phone.

The dormitory returned to silence. After a few seconds, Evan, who was bunking across from me, suddenly asked, "Don't you want to get a new phone?"

Yu Huo half-closed his eyes and looked at the other person in the moonlight outside the window: "Did you eavesdrop on my phone call?"

Evan paused when he heard this, and muttered in a nonsensical manner: "Your phone speaker is so loud, I didn't mean to do that..."

Yu Huo curled his lips when he heard this: "I don't want it anymore."

"Why?"

"I want to turn over a new leaf and become an upright person."

Evan: “…?”

Only a fool would believe that!

He rolled his eyes, his sleepiness mostly driven away by the call from his roommate, and then he took out his phone and unconsciously swiped the screen.

At this moment, a post suddenly updated on the campus forum, and he subconsciously clicked on it to check.

Two bodies were found in the northern part of Dreily. Investigation revealed the deceased were sophomores at Dreily University. Bite marks were found on their necks, suggesting death from excessive blood loss. Initial suspicion is that a wild animal was responsible. Until the animal is captured, students are urged to return to their dormitories after class and refrain from lingering or leaving the premises.

Evan clicked on the picture in the post with confusion. The moment the picture loaded, his eyes suddenly widened, his eyes full of horror.

The two dead were lying side by side in the corner, their faces pale, as if covered with a thick layer of plaster, their bodies stiff, and their deaths were miserable.

Evan quickly turned off his phone, not daring to look at it again.

Perhaps because he was too timid, the image kept echoing in his mind, making him afraid to fall asleep. After a long while, he tentatively looked towards the bed opposite him and whispered, "Yu Huo?"

“Huh~”

"Have you slept yet?"

"Asleep."

"Why are you talking when you're asleep?"

"I am asleep, not mute."

"......." Evan was so angry that he turned his head to face the wall. Maybe he was too angry and forgot his fear. After a while, he began to snore and had a good night's sleep.
