In the WeChat chat window.
A message from a friend whose profile picture was a photo of a girl in a white dress smiling in the wind caused Lin Mo's heart to jolt violently, as if suddenly electrocuted.
Memories of the past, with a sweet-faced girl as the second perspective, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
("Lin Mo, you're my first boyfriend. You have to cherish me, okay?")
("Lin Mo, will you be good to me and only me forever, just like the male lead in this movie is to the female lead?")
("Lin Mo, it's snowing in my hometown. How about where you are?")
("Lin Mo, I miss you so much… I wish school would start tomorrow, then I could see you right away!")
("Lin Mo, I want a hug…")
("Husband! Hehe…")
"Su Yingxia!", Thinking of this first love, a bloodshot tinge couldn't help but rise in Lin Mo's eyes.
Was it reluctance? No, it was hatred.
He and Su Yingxia first met at the freshman orientation in their first year of college. They practically fell in love at first sight.
In less than half a month, they developed into boyfriend and girlfriend.
And this relationship, which their respective roommates didn't think much of, lasted the entire four years of university.
But on the very day of their college graduation, Su Yingxia suddenly broke up with Lin Mo, citing "you can't give me the life I want."
No matter how Lin Mo pleaded or begged, Su Yingxia remained resolute.
Lin Mo was heartbroken, immersed in memories and pain all day long. In just one week, he lost over ten pounds.
In contrast, Su Yingxia had a new lover in less than three days after the breakup.
As for Lin Mo, it took him a full year to move on from this relationship.
So, how could he not hate her?
Now, looking at the message suddenly sent by Su Yingxia, whom he hadn't contacted for over a year, Lin Mo wasn't in a hurry to reply. Instead, he opened a good delivery app and ordered a late-night snack.
Only then did he leisurely reply to Su Yingxia with a symbol: "?"
Soon, Su Yingxia replied.
[Are you seeing anyone?]
Lin Mo: [No.]
Through the screen, Lin Mo seemed able to sense how superior Su Yingxia must have felt upon seeing his answer.
She definitely thought: Lin Mo still hasn't been able to let go of her.
Sure enough, the next second, Su Yingxia said, [Lin Mo, we… let's get back together.]
While waiting for the reply, Su Yingxia was also anxious.
But she didn't expect Lin Mo to agree so readily, almost without a hint of hesitation, [Sure.]
Lin Mo said: [You come find me. Let's talk in person.]
Su Yingxia hesitated: [Now?]
[It's past midnight, it's a bit too late. How about I come find you tomorrow?]
Lin Mo said: [Then forget it.]
[With so little sincerity, what are you using to talk about getting back together?]
Su Yingxia grew anxious.
[You… are you still at the same place as before?]
[Mhm.]
[Okay, then wait for me a bit. I'll come find you right now.]
Putting down his phone, Lin Mo went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out after showering, his takeout had just arrived.
Lin Mo unhurriedly ate his late-night snack.
Meanwhile, he checked out the official forum of Ning'an University.
Actually, Lin Mo also graduated from Ning'an University.
And his purpose this time was to see what kind of secret connected Ling Xiao and Wang Junjie.
Originally just out of curiosity, but he didn't expect to actually discover a shocking piece of gossip.
On Ning'an University's confession wall, the campus belle, Xia Wanwan, posted a message yesterday, [Any student of Ning'an University, if you can be the first to reach level 10 in the game 'Divine Oracle,' I'll be your girlfriend.] [T/N: Lol, passive fishing]
"Holy shit?", Lin Mo exclaimed in shock, "Are college students nowadays playing it this wild?"
"So, Wang Junjie and Ling Xiao competing to see who reaches level 10 first is all to fight for being this campus belle Xia Wanwan's boyfriend?"
"Explosive! This is too explosive," Lin Mo mused while slurping his sour and spicy noodles.
Even more outrageous was: the number of Ning'an University students participating in this activity actually exceeded a thousand.
"It seems this campus belle's charm is not low."
If this were in his past life, Lin Mo would definitely have used his identity as a senior alumnus to join the fun and chase the campus belle for kicks.
But having lived a second life, Lin Mo knew deeply that w*men were the least trustworthy creatures in this world.
"I'm old, can't play anymore. You youngsters go have fun. Uncle just wants to make money and get stronger."
Lin Mo finished his sour and spicy noodles.
Right at that moment—
Knock! Knock!
A knocking sound came from the door.
Lin Mo went to the door and checked the identity of the visitor through the peephole.
Creak!
He opened the door.
He saw a girl standing nervously at the doorway, wearing a yellow thin jacket over a white tight-fitting tank top, a skirt, and a pair of white sneakers with white socks.
Beneath a head of sleek black hair, the girl's delicate oval face was very fair.
Her starry eyes seemed full of stories.
"Lin Mo… long time no see."
Seeing Su Yingxia again, Lin Mo still couldn't help but feel a bit moved.
After all, back then, Su Yingxia was a department belle-level goddess even at Ning'an University.
She still maintained herself well.
Her every move exuded a gentle, cultured air from a family of scholars.
Even her presence in Lin Mo's rented old, small, shabby room seemed somewhat out of place.
Lin Mo took a step back.
"Come in."
Su Yingxia nodded.
As soon as she stepped inside, Lin Mo locked the door behind her.
Turning around, he pointed to the bed and suddenly, with a commanding tone and an expressionless face, said to Su Yingxia, "Take your cl*thes off, go lie on the bed yourself."
Su Yingxia's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Lin Mo, "You… what did you say?"
"You want to get back together, right?", Lin Mo remained expressionless, "Then do as I say."
"Of course, if you regret it, you can still leave now. I won't stop you."
"Lin Mo!", Su Yingxia flushed red with anger, "What do you take me for? Some… lady who casually goes to bed with anyone?"
Lin Mo sneered, "Aren't you?"
Su Yingxia immediately burst into tears.
Without hesitation, she rushed out the door.
Lin Mo unhurriedly closed the door with a "thud."
As a result, in less than a minute, Su Yingxia came back.
Her face was streaked with tears.
With a lifeless expression, she said to Lin Mo, "Is it that if I do it with you, you'll agree to get back together?"
"Yes," Lin Mo's answer was straightforward, without a hint of dragging his feet.
"Okay," Su Yingxia, right in front of Lin Mo, took off her jacket.
Under the tight tank top, the girl's curvaceous and graceful figure was accentuated to the extreme.
It made Lin Mo involuntarily swallow hard with a "gulp."
Clearly, she had paid attention to body management.
Su Yingxia's figure was even better than before.
Su Yingxia took off her clothes piece by piece, then lay down on the bed.
Staring at the ceiling, her gaze was vacant and empty, "Come on."
Lin Mo suddenly felt his mouth go dry and his heart race.
The beast sleeping within seemed to awaken at this moment.
His blood boiling, he walked step by step towards the bed…
[A/N: 1928 words omitted here. Don't ask why this number. The answer is the author really wrote it, but it can't be posted.]
———
[Half an Hour Later]
Su Yingxia got up and put on her clothes.
Her face flushed, she kept her head down, not daring to meet Lin Mo's gaze.
She asked cautiously, "Lin Mo, so we now…"
"You go back first," Lin Mo put on his clothes and said, "Wait for my message."
Su Yingxia looked at Lin Mo, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Mhm!"
"Then I'll head home first."
After saying that, as soon as Su Yingxia stood up from the bed, her legs suddenly went weak and she nearly knelt on the ground.
Lin Mo saw it but deliberately didn't go to help her.
Leaning on the table, Su Yingxia slowly walked to the doorway by herself, then disappeared from Lin Mo's sight.
Lin Mo, still savoring the moment, turned back to look at the touch of red on the bedsheet. An immense sense of achievement and satisfaction surged in his heart.
"Heh! Didn't expect you to be quite conservative."
———
On the other side.
Su Yingxia, leaning against the wall, finally made it downstairs, limping with each step.
Holding back humiliation and pain, she crouched down by the corner of the wall and softly sobbed.
Just then.
Ding! Dong!
Lin Mo sent a WeChat message, [My current identity is that of a professional gamer. Of course, you can look down on me as always. But if you want to get back together, you have to accept my identity.]
[Go to the game 'Divine Oracle,' register a Divine Oracle account in Beginner Village No. 116. I'll take you leveling up.]
Su Yingxia didn't say anything else.
She only replied with one word, [Okay.]
[By the way, go buy and take some Shuting yourself.]
[Mhm…]
[T/N: Really, that's it? Man, if he really falls into this trap, it will be so disappointing.]
