As if Meng Ya got an ear to listen to her agony, she banged her hands on the table and said as her nostrils flared in indignance. "You won't believe it! He is a rude, mean and arrogant person! He is a sadist! He takes joy in torturing people! He laughs at others' miseries! I wish God would just strike lightning at him at this very moment!"
"..."
"Where do I start!? He just looks a little handsome, but his heart is all dark! Black! Ugly!"
Fu Renshu stared at her.
"He is a mean person!"
"You said that already."
"It isn't enough even if I chant it a thousand times!"
Lihua was confused. "Who are you talking about anyway? You never said his name."
Fu Renshu stiffened.
Meng Ya felt as if it still wasn't the right time to tell her about Fu Renshu and her.
"I-Is it Fu Renshu who imprisoned you?"
"No!"
"No!"
Meng Ya and Fu Renshu exclaimed at once. But she frowned at Hao Ziruo. "Why did you say no?"
He coughed and smiled. "I just thought that from his name, he seems like a nice guy…"
Meng Ya snorted. "He isn't!"
His mouth twitched.
Then she looked at Lihua. "He is not that assistant."
"Then who? I thought he was the only one who you might hate because he imprisoned you."
"H-He is not! He...is someone I met online! Yes!"
"Huh? Online?"
She sweated. "Yes. I recently downloaded a game, and I met some players on the quest. He is one of them."
Lihua blinked. "Oh. Are you interested in games?"
She awkwardly smiled. "Just started it, hehe."
"So you met him there. And what did he do?"
Meng Ya sneered. "What did he not do!? He played with my feelings! Do you know? He colluded with another player in the game and pretended as if they were childhood lovers. And then I came to know that she was his online sister! They fooled me! This isn't all. In the game, we kinda…*cough* kissed."
Lihua choked.
"And then he asks if there was a need for a confession?" The more she remembered, the angrier she got.
"Well, maybe he is not good with words?"
Fu Renshu's slumped shoulders came back to life.
Yes! Say that to her!
"That doesn't mean I won't ever need a confession," she harrumphed. "What about fooling me part?"
"Maybe he was just pulling your leg for fun? Or maybe it could be the online sister's plan, and he was forced to go along?"
Fu Renshu had tears in his eyes.
Thank you, Madam. It's unbelievable that you took my side…
Meng Ya gritted her teeth. "But I still won't forgive him! He is a sadist. Meanie. Hooligan. That's why now I have decided to focus on cute, hot men!"
Lihua was confused.
She coughed. "I-In the quest haha…It doesn't hurt if I look in real life too. I need a handsome man to console me."
Fu Renshu clenched his fist and gave an alarming smile.
Ho...Let me see how you will find any man to 'console' you. Try looking at one, and you are dead. So will the man.
Wei didn't participate in the conversation because he was traumatized by Lihua admitting that the young guy was cute.
Am I not cute?
He glanced at the guy who was having the fun of his life, and he had an urge to punch him.
When it was time to leave, he learned that Meng Ya wouldn't be accompanying Lihua back home, which got him worried. She was pregnant.
What if she got into an accident? What if she fell?
She was in a delicate condition, and he didn't want her to travel alone. Then he also thought that it was a good idea to get closer to her, too, just like Jiang Ruiling and Jiang Lanying said.
"Bye," Lihua smiled and waved goodbye, but Wei quickly said, "I live in the same direction as you."
"Oh."
Wei was slightly nervous as he said, "Can we go together?"
Lihua slightly hesitated. But if their houses were in the same direction, then they would be together anyway.
"Sure."
Wei beamed and nodded. "Let's go back to the car."
Fu Renshu froze.
Boss!
Lihua was stunned. "You have a car?"
Wei tilted his head.
An average middle-class student wasn't supposed to have a car, yet he said he had one.
Fu Renshu laughed. "He meant it would be so good if he 'had' a car. But he doesn't. After all, we are just some middle-class college students. We are 'not supposed to' have a car…" he emphasized. "We are not some rich, young masters."
Wei stiffened.
He realized he had made an error. He just wanted Lihua to have a comfortable ride back home.
"Yes. My mistake. My Dad has a car. He often came to pick me up, so it slipped."
"Oh, okay."
Wei breathed out in relief.
Fu Renshu wiped his forehead.
Please stop giving me heart attacks, Boss! I don't want to die so young.
Meng Ya nodded. "It's a good idea. That way, I won't be worried about Lihua too."
Wei asked, "How do we head back?"
Lihua said, "By bus, of course. Isn't it how you come to college too?"
He coughed. "Yes, yes."
Lihua and Wei set off, and Meng Ya said, "Well then I am on my way too-"
But she suddenly felt a tug at her dress's collar, and she was pulled back. Fu Renshu, aka, Hao Ziruo smiled. "It seems that my house is in the same direction as yours. How about we go together?"
It translated to 'Let me see if you dare to find and hit on cute, hot men to console yourself.''
She chirped. "Oh really? Just like Lihua and Huang Liangshi. What a coincidence."
He said nothing.
"Let's go, soldier! We have a very important mission."
"Mission?"
"To find and hit on cute, hot men to console me!" She sheepishly grinned.
The temperature plummeted, but she didn't notice the difference.
Fu Renshu tilted his head with a malicious glint in his eyes. "Sure.. Let's go."
