Ye Qingqing couldn't help but chuckle. It didn't sound like a lie, but—
"Even if what you said before college was made up, you haven't stopped since you started college. You've been surrounded by beautiful girls. Didn't you make a big fuss about confessing your love to the girls by playing guitar under their dorm in your freshman year? How romantic!"
Ye Qingqing's tone became even more sarcastic. This matter caused quite a stir back then. Xi Murong was a good guitarist and a pretty good singer. He was also a member of the school's military band. He certainly had the looks to attract women.
Xi Murong complained bitterly, cursing himself for being foolish and making a mess of things.
"Um... would you believe me if I said I made a bet with my brother?"
Ye Qingqing sneered, "Do you think I'm only three years old?"
"I bet you can tell, I can call my buddies to witness. That girl was so arrogant, she embarrassed one of my brothers, so we decided to teach her a lesson. A few of us decided to send me. I... actually wanted to refuse, but I couldn't let our brotherhood get in the way, so I... reluctantly went..."
Xi Murong felt a little guilty. He wasn't actually telling the truth. The bet was real, but his desire to refuse was fake.
At the time, he was actually quite willing because it would prove his masculine charm, so he was very eager to try. However, he now truly regrets it.
"And then he dumped her after getting her?" Ye Qingqing cursed the scumbag in her heart.
"No, they didn't like me, they just played me..."
Xi Murong wanted to cry even more. He had buried this shameful history, but now it had to be dug up again. His heart ached terribly.
Ye Qingqing immediately became interested and urged him to continue.
"Can we not say it? It's embarrassing..." Xi Murong pleaded.
But the more he acted this way, the more interested Ye Qingqing became. "You can't even be honest about this much, yet you say your feelings are genuine? Who would believe that?"
"I said...sigh...I told you, but don't tell anyone else. I only told my brothers that I dumped her." Xi Murong's face scrunched up like a bitter gourd. He stammered for a long time before finally explaining his past love history. Ye Qingqing held back her laughter, afraid of hurting the idiot's pride.
According to Xi Murong, that girl was a typical "green tea bitch," having ambiguous relationships with about ten male classmates at the same time. She was the legendary "backup boyfriend," and Xi Murong was one of them. However, he was unaware of this and thought he had successfully gotten the girl, so he was extremely proud of himself.
During the time he was the backup option, Xi Murong was quite generous. He fulfilled all the obligations a boyfriend should have. Anyway, he had a lot of pocket money, so he was willing to buy the girl bags, clothes, shoes, and jewelry. After he had prepared for the situation, Xi Murong unilaterally broke up with her. He even carefully chose a drizzly afternoon to meet the girl by the playground, wanting to avenge his brother.
However—
As soon as Xi Murong said he wanted to break up, the girl looked at him like he was a fool and said—
"That woman said I was too self-important. She never agreed to be my girlfriend; she only considered me a good friend. Then she suggested we cool off to avoid me misunderstanding anything further, and she hasn't contacted me since."
Xi Murong spoke softer and softer. He was stunned. They had been dating for almost half a year, but the girl turned her back on him and broke up with him just like that. However, after calming down and thinking about it, he realized that the girl hadn't agreed to anything. They hadn't even held hands, and she hadn't introduced him as her boyfriend to her best friend. It was all just unrequited love on his part.
Alas, he thought he could avenge his brother, but he ended up worse off than his brother. Losing money was bad enough, but his self-esteem was completely crushed.
