Chapter 31

The mobile phone that Luo Jiayu borrowed had limited configuration. After downloading the game, it started to lag after playing only two games. He was still repairing the phone in the corner in the last second, and in the next second he was dragged to the carnival chair.

The experience was extremely bad. Chu Yu looked at the screen in front of him that was stuck like a PPT and was silent for a moment. Finally, he reluctantly chose to uninstall the software and switched to a less laggy Happy Candy Crush.

"I feel like the difficulty of playing this is about the same as when we played Plants vs. Zombies in kindergarten." Luo Jiayu came over to watch him beat the level.

Chu Yu didn't even raise his head. He swiped his fingers twice and the entire elimination array began to explode in a chain reaction: "It will relieve my boredom."

"You should take a shower."

Chu Yu is very picky when it comes to playing games. When he has something to play, he will be very selective and only play those with good content and good reputation. When he has nothing to play, he can play a stupid elimination game for two hours.

"After this one," Chu Yu casually replied. Then, belatedly realizing what was so special about such a tedious little game, he turned off the game screen and looked up at Luo Jiayu: "Are you going to sleep?"

Luo Jiayu didn't look that sleepy. He pointed to his crossed legs and said, "I've been sitting like this for too long. My legs are numb. If you don't leave, I'm going to lie on your lap."

The beds in the dormitory are so small that two big boys each occupy one end. If either of them wants to lie down, they will be restricted and unable to stretch out.

"Just lie down." Chu Yu smiled, narrowing his eyes and revealing his two small fangs. He would smile like this whenever he had a bad intention. "I've seen this posture in the Hundred Filial Piety Paintings."

"..." Luo Jiayu glanced at him, then suddenly pounced over and grabbed Chu Yu's wrist. In the middle of the fight, the dormitory door suddenly opened, and Tang Yanning's face peeked in from outside.

Her eyes scanned around for a while, finally locking onto the two bodies pressed together on the upper bunk.

One of Chu Yu's wrists was grabbed, and with the other hand, he stuffed the stolen phone into the pillow to prevent it from being discovered.

Perhaps the silence on Tang Yanning's face was too deafening, so Luo Jiayu casually freed one hand and greeted the people below: "Good evening, have you eaten?"

"...eaten it." Tang Yanning felt something was wrong, but the two brothers looked more frank than each other. As a bystander, he couldn't say anything, so he simply picked up some clean clothes and turned around.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

Almost at the moment the door closed, an electronic female voice of "Ding Dong" rang in Luo Jiayu's mind.

[Congratulations to host Luo Jiayu for reaching +50 popularity points. The current total popularity point is -200. There are still 1000 popularity points to reach the goal. Keep up the good work!]

"Does this have anything to do with what I'm doing now?" Luo Jiayu turned his head to look at Chu Yu who was pressed on the bed by him. One of the latter's hands was still clamped by him, and the other hand was taking out his mobile phone to continue playing the unfinished Candy Crush game.

Chu Yu felt his gaze and looked up at him.

"Obviously not." The system said calmly, "But host, I think your idea of accumulating popularity is correct."

Based on their conversation, Chu Yu guessed that Luo Jiayu must have received a report about his popularity increase: "Have you started paying off your loan?"

"Yeah, I just paid back 50."

"Good, I finally got rid of that idiot." Chu Yu smiled and swiped the screen, using up the last chance, but the swipe didn't work, and two big words "Failure" popped up on the screen.

A certain Yu-Gi-Oh's career was tarnished with shame before it even began.

Chu Yu's smile disappeared and his face fell into a look of doubt as if he was about to die.

Luo Jiayu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something. He swooped over and pressed Chu Yu's shoulders. "Is there a new member in our super topic? Is there?"

As he said this, he wanted to take the phone from Chu Yu's hand to open Weibo, but as soon as Chu Yu let go, the phone quickly shattered into a screen of small blue dots, and disappeared into the air.

"Today's lease period has expired, and the system mall has automatically reclaimed the usage rights." The system's cold and inorganic voice sounded, with a flat tone.

"Host, the contract states that you can only use it for two hours a day, but you two spent an hour and a half just playing games."

Chu Yu looked down at his empty hands, maintaining the same thoughtful expression as Luo Jiayu, except that his focus was completely different.

"To prevent addiction," Chu Yu said as he slowly got up. "We adults in our 19 and 20s have our own baby locks."

"I had completely forgotten about this." Luo Jiayu slammed his palm regretfully, then suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Yu who was about to climb the ladder to take a shower.

"You! Don't play Identity V anymore!"

Chu Yu raised his head halfway up the mountain and said, “?”

At this time, in the Dinglian fan forum, a post titled "Welcome to watch Dinglian's first love literature of a primary school couple" became very popular and was labeled "HOT" within a few hours.

[OP: RT, after watching the latest episode, I was struck by how two handsome, mentally ill guys like this are a perfect match [video screenshot][video screenshot]]

[1L: This episode really completely overturned my initial impression of them. Who could have known that these two guys could tear off 18 character labels in just three sentences together?]

[2L: I'm dying of laughter. From the moment they appeared in the same frame, I was laughing all the way through. How could there be such a silly couple?]

3L: Luo: Our journey is blah blah and blah! Yu: Okay, Captain! These two kids are so adorable.

[4L: They're so close. From what I hear, it seems like they were high school classmates?]

[5L: Some sisters tried to dig into the matter, but the two people's past information was kept very secret, so nothing was found.]

[6L: I'm sorry, then I'll just spread the rumor that they were childhood sweethearts and had an arranged marriage.]

[7L: What! Where's the childhood sweetheart?! Let me have a bite.]

[8L: Not only are they childhood sweethearts, but this time they can be considered a childhood sweetheart, which makes it even better.]

[9L: Immortal product CP, American Emperor reservation]

[10L: So this confirms they're childhood sweethearts? Do you have any evidence?]

[11L: The proof is the way they look at each other, especially Chu Yu's. Someone with level 10 social anxiety and a max level of stunner wouldn't be so relaxed around an outsider.]

[12L: This is far from relaxing. I thought Luo's peacock-like display towards Xiao Yu was just a small part of my fun, but Brother Baizi's opening words completely screwed me over.]

13L: This attitude is so intimate!

[14L: If we hadn't played together for ten or eight years since childhood, we wouldn't be so familiar and casual.]

[15L: Really, I have a childhood friend. We grew up together, and the way we talk to each other is different from the friends I made later. They definitely have a deep connection, just like the couple in Ding Lianmei Empire.]

[16L: It’s better not to mention other couples in exclusive CP posts]

[17L: I also have childhood friends, we’ve known each other since kindergarten, but we’re not as close as they seem.]

[18L: I've replayed their scenes together over 20 times. They're so cute. Just two silly little dogs pulling at each other's balls of yarn.]

[19L: I find that watching them chat is just as enjoyable as watching Brother Baizi's crazy videos while eating.]

[20L: The corners of my mouth have been shoulder to shoulder with the sun all night long, and it hasn’t come down.]

[21L: Who on earth is spreading rumors that Luo is a cold-faced cool guy? If I hadn't seen this episode, I would have almost believed it.]

[22L: He was so cocky in front of Xiaoyu, like a big golden retriever wagging its tail, so silly and eager.]

23L: Hi, did you miss me?

24L: "I can solve all your problems"

25L: "Is calling me brother a bit too ambiguous?"

[26L: I've never seen anyone so brave as to tease a capybara. I'd be sorry if I didn't give it a try.]

[27L: The contrast between his private life and his performance on stage is quite huge. I never thought that such a cocky face could actually smile so brightly.]

[28L: And he's also a hypocrite! A blatant and famous hypocrite! He only acts so worthless in front of Xiao Yu!]

[29L: I took a screenshot specifically. This is his expression when he was training with the Crown Prince [video screenshot] and this is his expression when he was in front of the little capybara [video screenshot]]

[30L: Brother, please don’t love me too much, seriously]

[31L: I happened to pass by and I'm crazy about it. Please tell me what their super topic is called so I can follow one.]

[32L: I sent a private message to the person above, but the super topic has just been set up, and the moderator is a bit weird. Some fans have been prodding her but she hasn't responded. She's been playing dead. I don't know what she's thinking.]

[33L: Right, right, the host ID is weird too. What kind of CP fan would give themselves a name like that? There isn't even a single repost on their homepage. From their profile to the content of their posts, I can't tell what they are.]

[34L: Is this a rival disguised as someone trying to cause trouble? If not, let the big fan change the name and create another one.]

【35L: I want to know what the host ID is】

[36L: AAA's top handsome guy, his profile even lists his gender as male and he's 11 years old. It's hard not to suspect he stole his mom's phone and built this for fun.]

35L: It’s mainly because of that super-talking avatar that it’s hard not to care.

[36L: Super hot profile picture? What super hot profile picture?]

[37L: The profile picture is a photo of Xiao Luo and Xiao Yu. Judging from the angle, it looks like a selfie. I don’t know where they got the photo from.]

[38L: Many big fans privately asked her for the original picture, but she kept playing dead and didn't reply to anyone.]

[39L: But that photo is so pretty, wow, the two kids have such sweet smiles.]

[40L: Is this a technical synthesis? There hasn't been a single photo of them together since the show aired.]

[41L: My sister has verified it, and it's not. Now everyone suspects it was leaked from an insider.]

[42L: I'm dumbfounded. Are internal staff taking the lead in creating a super topic to promote CP? Don't be too magical.]

[43L: Rebirth: I'm watching a suspense drama on the Dinglian forum, but the more I discuss it, the more confusing it becomes.]

[44L: The most annoying thing is that the host keeps pretending to be dead. He dares to post photos but dares not reply to private messages. He created a super topic but did nothing and has been lurking until now.]

[45L: But the profile picture is too real, really, I can’t bear to create another super topic because I can’t bear to give up that precious photo]

[46L: Most of the CP fans have already settled down in the super topic. Not only is the host inactive, but she also refuses to approve the applications of the big fans and the small host. She also doesn't post about activities or anything. It's really unlucky to have such a host.]

47L: But that profile picture… is… really… good… to… knock at… (stretches out his hand weakly)

[48L: I can't help it, I love and hate her at the same time. I hope that sister will come out and give an explanation soon.]
