He's thirty-six.

Mu Tiantian nodded, "I know."

“He’s eighteen years older than you, old enough to be your father. You two aren’t a good match.” Si Yihan felt extremely annoyed when he thought about how Shen Xiaqing had called her ‘Tian Tian’ so affectionately.

Mu Tiantian: "......"

She blinked, took a step forward, looked up at him, and a faint smile appeared in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. "Are you...jealous?"

Si Yihan looked at the small, rosy lips so close to his face and couldn't help but swallow. They looked so soft and seemed so easy to kiss.

He quickly took a few steps back and denied it, "No."

Seeing his somewhat contradictory expression, Mu Tiantian understood what was going on and smiled, saying, "Teacher Shen is an elder. Calling me 'Tiantian' is just to show affection. Don't overthink it."

"Oh," Si Yihan replied indifferently.

He seems to be overthinking things.

However, he couldn't control himself; he couldn't resist any man who got close to her and treated her well.

But he also wanted to let her lead him by the nose.

Mu Tiantian became more proactive, took his arm, and sweetly called out, "Master, the basketball game is about to start, let's go watch it together."

Si Yihan's brain went blank for a moment, and he didn't react for a while, letting her pull him away.

Not far from the gymnasium entrance, Shi Yayuan and Fan Xiaodie were stunned by what they saw.

"Linlin Xiaodie, is that Si Yihan? I'm not seeing things, am I? He and Tiantian..." Shi Yaoyuan was so shocked she couldn't even form a sentence, "...that kind of relationship?"

"I saw it in class just now. She was sitting with Si Yihan, and then Si Yifan sat in front of her too. They were even talking during class. Could it be that the three of them..." Fan Xiaodie's gossipy nature kicked in. "Linlin, you were sitting with Tiantian in class. What's going on between the three of them?"

Lin Lin didn't respond. Instead, she looked at her phone and opened the game's wealth leaderboard, where the top player was named "Han." He only had his "display image" displayed, and his 3D character's facial features were not visible because he was wearing a half-face mask.

She recalled what Si Yifan had said in class, as well as the interactions between Mu Tiantian and Si Yihan.

Could Si Yihan be "Han"?

Fan Xiaodie asked softly, "Ya Yuan, what's wrong with Linlin?"

Shi Yayuan shook her head. "I don't know either, but I'm sure there's some earth-shattering gossip going on."

Just as Lin Lin was thinking, a message notification came from WeChat.

Mu Tiantian: Linlin, do you also play Dawn?

Mu Tiantian: Are you "Shuanglin"?

After a long time without any response from Linlin, she must still be angry.

Mu Tiantian couldn't care less about anything else; she decided to explain first.

Mu Tiantian: Linlin, there was a reason why I did that before. I know you've always wanted that limited edition outfit and weapon. I didn't give them to you to show off.

Mu Tiantian: I swear!

Mu Tiantian: Moreover, my marriage proposal in the game was just for show. After getting the couple rewards, I quit the game. You can see that my game assets are 0. I didn't get a single penny from Si Yifan.

Lin Lin: Why did you quit the game? Can't I claim the couple rewards and the "Cold" item?

Mu Tiantian: Due to some family reasons...

Mu Tiantian: I don't know how to tell you this...

Mu Tiantian scratched her hair, she really didn't know how to explain it to Lin Lin, she hadn't organized her thoughts yet.

When Linlin saw her message, she remembered her relationship with Chu Qingqing, and how she had been hospitalized alone for three months and come to school alone. Her heart softened.

System: [Lin Lin's rage value decreased by 15, currently at 15.]

Mu Tiantian was overjoyed when she heard the notification sound.

She struck while the iron was hot and sent another message.

Mu Tiantian: Linlin, do you know that you are my only best friend in the game, and the first person I ever gave a gift to in the game?

That's true.

System: [Lin Lin's rage value has been reduced to zero.]

Mu Tiantian breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Lin couldn't help but smile when she saw the message from Mu Tiantian.

"Let's go, let's go into the stadium," Lin Lin said, walking forward.

Shi Yayuan and Fan Xiaodie exchanged a glance.

"Linlin is acting very strangely today."

Fan Xiaodie nodded in agreement, "There's juicy gossip to be had, and it's big gossip at that."

The two of them made a very tacit decision: they absolutely had to get their hands on some gossip!

...

Seeing Mu Tiantian staring at her phone, sometimes looking worried and sometimes beaming, Si Yihan couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Who are you chatting with so happily?

Why pull him over and not talk to him, but chat with other people instead?

System: [Si Yihan's hatred value increased by 5, currently at 85.]

Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian quickly turned around and asked him, "Master, are you unhappy?"

Si Yihan pursed his lips, and after a long while, he spoke, "Who...are you chatting with?"

"My best friend and roommate."

"Male or female?"

Mu Tiantian: "......" My roommate can be a guy?

"You care a lot?" Mu Tiantian asked him with a sweet smile.

Si Yihan turned his head away, not daring to look at her, and said, "I don't care."

Mu Tiantian received Lin Lin's message, stood up, and looked ahead.

Thinking she was about to leave, Si Yihan subconsciously asked, "Where are you going?"

He has now completely forgotten the harsh words he said before.

"Linlin said she bought fruit tea and asked me to go find her up ahead. Let's go together." Mu Tiantian pulled Si Yihan up, and the two walked forward like a couple.

Si Yihan tried hard to regain his composure; he absolutely could not let her lead him by the nose.

He will never forgive her unless he has a convincing reason!

"Tian Tian, ​​are you two dating?" Shi Ya Yuan leaned close to her and asked with an ambiguous look.

Si Yihan should have immediately denied it, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

"No," Mu Tiantian denied.

System: [Si Yihan's hatred value increased by 5, currently at 90.]

"I'm pursuing him."

Before Shi Yayuan could react, Mu Tiantian's bluntness shocked everyone else.

Even Lin Ye, who had just walked over, widened his eyes in surprise. No, this was a lot of information!

System: [Si Yihan's hatred value decreased by 15, currently at 75.]

Mu Tiantian turned her head and gave Si Yihan a sweet smile.

System: [Si Yihan's hatred value decreased by 5, currently at 70.]

Looking at the 20-point drop in hatred value, Qi Tong couldn't help but wonder if this guy was a love-struck fool.

Lin Ye pulled Lin Lin aside and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened?"

Shen Lintian knew nothing, and Si Yifan kept his mouth shut tight, so he was extremely upset that he couldn't get any gossip.

"This matter... is very complicated..." Lin Lin didn't know where to begin, and after a long pause, she replied, "I'll tell you later."

Lin Ye's face fell instantly.

"Lin Ye." Chu Qingqing walked over and greeted the group, "Linlin, you're here too."

Lin Lin simply nodded politely to her, then took out a bag of fruit tea and said, "Here's the fruit tea I bought for you."
