"Lu Yibei! I know I was wrong! What more do you want?"
"I was just joking with Ah Huang! I wasn't really telling the truth!"
"Ah Huang's boyfriend gave her a necklace worth 20,000 yuan. You can't afford it, so can't I even say a few words?"
Inside the rented room, Lu Yibei's phone emitted a sound that was almost a scream.
The person he was talking to was Zhou Zhou, the white moonlight that Lu Yibei had been pursuing.
Ah Huang is Zhou Zhou's roommate, Huang Chengcheng.
Like Lu Yibei, they are students at Jiangnan University in Hangzhou, and will be sophomores in a few days as summer vacation ends.
However, Zhou Zhou and Ah Huang studied international trade, while Lu Yibei pursued advanced studies in computer science.
Yesterday was Ah Huang's birthday.
Zhou Zhou was invited to a karaoke bar for her birthday party.
After a few bottles of beer, Huang Chengcheng put her arm around her boyfriend's and jokingly asked Zhou Zhou:
"Xiao Zhou, I've already found my true love and we're happily married. When are you going to accept Lu Yibei's advances?"
Huang Chengcheng had met Lu Yibei a few times, but they weren't very familiar with each other.
Even so, Huang Chengcheng still firmly believes that one day Zhou Zhou and Lu Yibei will get together.
Not only did she think so, but her boyfriend thought so too.
Everyone who has met Lu Yibei in the KTV thinks so.
Lu Yibei treats Zhou Zhou very well; the two are a good match.
Only one person had a different idea.
That person was Zhou Zhou.
She and Lu Yibei were very close, and they were only one step away from becoming a couple.
But Zhou Zhou judged the distance of this step very well.
She liked this feeling of being both close and distant, able to withdraw at any time.
She also liked the various little surprises Lu Yibei prepared when he was pursuing her, and the envious looks from her friends after they found out.
Lu Yibei is good-looking and willing to spoil her.
When he introduced himself to Zhou Zhou's friends as "not her boyfriend, I'm still pursuing Zhou Zhou," her friends would always be jealous.
The man you could never reach in your lifetime is only fit to be my suitor…
Zhou Zhou really enjoyed the feeling of being looked up to and held in high esteem.
But now, seeing Ah Huang wearing that necklace worth over 20,000 yuan, Zhou Zhou's eyes welled up with tears.
Ah Huang seems to have stood on top of her.
Zhou Zhou laughed heartily, regaining his pride:
"Lu Yibei? He's just one of my little simps. Surely no one actually thinks I like him? Admittedly, he's not bad. But I, Zhou Zhou, am not someone who can be easily won over—"
Ah Huang's boyfriend is good-looking, but not as good-looking as Lu Yibei.
This is a consensus among their dormitory residents.
Zhou Zhou enhanced her own status by belittling Lu Yibei.
After saying that, she picked up her wine glass and took a sip.
Sure enough, the women present all looked on with envy.
They weren't familiar with Lu Yibei, but they knew he was indeed good-looking.
Zhou Zhou was very satisfied with this.
She wasn't afraid of anyone speaking ill of her to Lu Yibei.
Without evidence, Lu Yibei would definitely believe her and not anyone else.
Even if there is evidence, as long as the evidence is not sufficient, Lu Yibei will forgive her with a little coquetry.
She was confident in her charm.
However, a small accident occurred.
She could hear the voice of her other roommate, Chen Dan, coming from outside the KTV room.
She drank too much and just went to the restroom.
"Lu Yibei? What are you doing here?"
Yes, the unexpected thing was that Lu Yibei was right outside the door at the time.
He was dragged to karaoke by his friends, and as he passed by the private room, he happened to hear Zhou Zhou's voice. He originally wanted to go in and say hello.
After recalling yesterday's events, Lu Yibei took a deep breath and said softly to the person on the other end of the phone:
"Finished? I'm hanging up now, I'm playing placement matches."
"Ding...Lu Yibei! What do you mean? Are you not accepting my apology? How can you be so petty, a real man!?"
Zhou Zhou's voice was always sweet, but now it sounded so grating to Lu Yibei.
Lu Yibei chuckled:
"What do you mean 'big man'? I'm just an innocent 20-year-old boy. Isn't it normal to be a little stingy?"
"What does it have to do with you that someone received a necklace worth 20,000 yuan?"
"You say you know you were wrong? You don't know you were wrong, you're just scared."
Zhou Zhou's voice became even sharper:
"Afraid!? What do I have to be afraid of? Lu Yibei, don't think I need your forgiveness. I have more than one suitor! You—"
"Okay, that's fine. I wasn't planning on forgiving you anyway. Let's end it here. Bye."
Lu Yibei pressed the hang-up button.
Regardless of how shrill and explosive Zhou Zhou's voice was on the other end of the phone.
He put down his phone, calmly looked up, and gazed at the sky through the window; the moon seemed to be smiling.
Lu Yibei laughed along.
He and Zhou Zhou were high school classmates.
After enduring the grueling senior year of high school, the two students achieved similar grades and were admitted to the same university.
Although they weren't officially dating, their relationship had always been good.
Zhou Zhou said she had no plans to date during her student years, and Lu Yibei didn't pressure her.
Zhou Zhou said she had high standards for her future boyfriend, so Lu Yibei worked hard to improve them.
“Look at Xiao Li’s boyfriend, he takes her to fancy restaurants every month.”
"I'll take you too."
"Xiao Zhang's man knows karate, he's so good... he looks so handsome, why don't you go learn it too?"
"You can learn anything."
"Xiao Wang's boyfriend is really good at basketball."
"It's okay, I'm much better than him."
