Ning Xiwan took out her cell phone from her bag, dialed Duan Shuce's number in front of everyone, and pressed the hands-free button at the same time.
"Hello, Wanwan?" Duan Shuce's lazy voice spread throughout the square through the loudspeaker, and the sound of a basketball hitting the ground could be heard in the background.
Ning Xiwan said to the phone: "Someone is poaching you in public, what do you say?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and then Duan Shuce's voice with a low laugh came: "Who is it, so blind?"
His voice was a bit ruffian, yet strangely dangerous.
Huo Linxing's expression changed: "You...you really have a boyfriend?"
Ning Xiwan sneered: "What else?"
"Wanwan, turn on the video." Duan Shuce's voice suddenly became serious. "Let me see which warrior it is."
Ning Xiwan switched to a video call and pointed the camera at Zhou Lin.
On the screen, Duan Shuce squinted his eyes as he looked at Huo Linxing, and suddenly laughed: "That's it?"
Zhou Lin felt uncomfortable under his gaze. Sunlight shone on the phone screen, and he could barely make out the boy in the video—black hair, fair skin, eyes piercing more than winter ice. A typical example of a superior appearance.
"Your long-distance relationship can never bring her happiness!" Zhou Lin said with all his might.
Duan Shuce sneered: "Who told you that we are in a long-distance relationship?"
He turned around and called to the person beside him: "Qingliu, come here."
A few seconds later, another handsome face appeared on the screen. Gray-blue eyes, fair skin, and thin lips beneath a high nose bridge.
Ye Qingliu only glanced at Huo Linxing lightly and uttered two words: "Boring."
The crowd of onlookers exploded:
"What the hell! Two?!"
"Ning Xiwan's boyfriends...?"
"What a magical configuration!"
Huo Linxing's face turned from red to white, and finally to an ugly iron blue.
The rose in his hand fell to the ground, and the petals scattered everywhere. Ning Xiwan calmly hung up the video and looked at him, who had been petrified. "Is it clear now?"
The Mercedes-Benz's alarm sounded at some point, and the shrill sound seemed to be an accompaniment to the farce.
As Ning Xiwan turned to leave, she heard Huo Linxing's devastated cry: "Ning Xiwan! You're kidding me!"
She didn't look back, but just raised her hand and waved, as if saying goodbye to a boring episode.
The dormitory in the evening was dyed orange by the setting sun. Ning Xiwan sat cross-legged on the bed, eating potato chips while reading the message from Duan Shuce:
[Duan Shuce]: Wanwan, how was my performance today?
[Ning Xiwan]: Not bad.
[Duan Shuce]: Just okay? I'm obviously super fierce, okay!
[Ye Qingliu]: ...childish.
Ning Xiwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
