Why don't you love him?

"Waaaaah~"

The TV series Lu Yao was watching had finally reached its finale. He was so heartbroken that he couldn't control himself, and his voice choked as he said, "Why can't the second male lead have a better ending? I protest!"

"Waaaaah~"

She walked out of the movie theater and finally glanced at her phone, seeing two friend requests.

"Hmm?" She unconsciously sobbed twice, stopped her tears, and clicked on the add friend interface.

Upon seeing the message's additional information, he couldn't help but frown. "How could someone like this find my WeChat ID? It's disgusting."

I clicked "decline," turned off the screen, and entered the bathroom.

Guan Ye came out of Lu Yao's WeChat Moments and was surprised to see that he had been rejected. He got hot-headed and thought, "You Lu Yao! You think all the girl-chasing skills I've learned over the years have been for nothing? I swear I'll add you! Otherwise, I, Guan Ye, will live a lonely life."

He changed his profile picture from the blond guy to one of himself facing the sea and continued sending friend requests.

Additional information: I like your friend Li Baobei and would like to know if I could find out anything about her? I've had a crush on her for four years, please~

Please, please!!!

"Hmph, now that the cards are out, why don't I take you down?" Guan Ye felt confident of victory this time, and continued drinking the cola on the table, but after a while, not a drop came out. "Gone?"

He glanced at the Coke bottle and scoffed, tossing the empty bottle into the trash can.

Lu Yao came out wrapped in a bath towel and saw a friend request on the message screen.

"What's going on today? Did my account get leaked?" She quickly unlocked her screen and checked the messages. "Hmm......"

Her brow furrowed slightly. "Four years of unrequited love, really? Is it that tragic?"

"That's so pitiful! Tsk tsk tsk~" Lu Yao's face showed a look of sympathy.

"Seeing how pitiful you are, this fairy will reluctantly agree to your request!"

Guan Ye, who was playing a game, heard the message notification sound and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Agreed?"

He switched to the messages interface, and sure enough, Lu Yao appeared there.

"You've got me hooked~" She smirked, a smug look on her face, "Ahem~"

"Why am I smiling so lewdly? I'm just trying to find out some information! Tsk~ I'm not a bad person."

Guan Ye: "Are you Li Baobei's good friend?"

"An expectant emoji."

...

At that moment, Lu Yao was blow-drying his hair, the hairdryer whirring softly.

...

"This..." Guan Ye rested his hand on the armrest of the soft chair, his lips curling up as he looked her over. "Tsk~ Is the eldest daughter of the Lu family always this aloof?"

"It's definitely not an ordinary product."

A message notification sounded~

Lu Yao: "Of course, we're best friends, you know?"

Guan Ye's eyes widened instantly upon seeing the message, and he replied, "I'm so envious~"

Lu Yao: "You're probably out of luck, bro. You're too late. You had a crush on someone for so long in college, weren't you going to give it a shot? What a pity~"

"I truly admire you!"

"A fist-and-palm gesture."

Guan Ye: "This..."

"It's because she's so beautiful and has such good grades. I feel like I have no chance at all, so I can only watch her from behind."

"A sad, tearful emoji."

Lu Yao: "My darling is a model student. She only studies hard at school. How could she possibly be in a relationship!"

He raised an eyebrow and replied, "You mean, Li Baobei has never been in a relationship?"

“?”

Lu Yao: "Yes, but you have even less of a chance now. She already has a boyfriend who is handsome and rich."

"You have no chance, poor thing~"

Guan Ye: "This..."

"Sigh! As long as she's happy, that's all that matters. Can you tell me who her boyfriend is now?"

"I want to give up completely."

Lu Yao: "Wait a minute~"

Lu Yao quickly posted the photo that was circulating online.

"Look! Baby's boyfriend, isn't he handsome!"

"You really have no chance."

Guan Ye couldn't help but snort, "You don't even know what I look like, and you already think I have no chance?"

"I'm handsome and rich, okay!"

Guan Ye: "I think I still have a chance. I'm pretty handsome, and I'm not short of money~"

Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh. What an interesting person!

Lu Yao: "I wish you success."

"I'm logging off."

Guan Ye: "Thanks~"

Lu Yao: "No need, bye."

"Huh?" Guan Ye's eyes widened instantly when he saw 88 on the screen. "Why is she calling herself 'Dad'? Does she have some kind of special fetish?"

He scratched his head, feeling puzzled, and quickly went to his browser to search: What does it mean when someone replies with "88"?

The webpage reply states that "88" means goodbye, as it's a homophone for "bye-bye." When chatting online, "88" is a simple and common way to say goodbye, often used between friends in a casual way.

"Oh, I see." Guan Ye suddenly realized that he had been overthinking things.

But it doesn't matter! I've already managed to get the information out of them, and that's the most important thing.

He quickly opened He Ji's chat interface, "The Guanye Intelligence Bureau will continue to answer your questions."
