"Broken up so soon?"
Wang Yue was somewhat surprised.
He had actually guessed this outcome long ago.
Although the nurse in Lizhou claimed to like Zhou Dewen, her actions showed no such affection.
Only this foolish boy thought the girl truly liked him.
Then Zhou Dewen recounted the story of being cuckolded by Li Xingquan.
The incident started when Zhou Dewen forgot to turn off his phone screen while chatting with his girlfriend one day.
He happened to be getting water when Li Xingquan walked by and saw it.
Li Xingquan picked it up and casually browsed through it. He saw the girl's profile and thought she was quite attractive.
Thus, he developed an idea, memorized her QQ number, and secretly added her.
Li Xingquan, being experienced in charming girls, naturally knew how to please them and quickly established a relationship.
Meanwhile, Zhou Dewen was dumped.
After hearing this story,
Wang Yue summarized a crucial lesson: always remember to lock your screen.
However, even without Li Xingquan, their relationship wouldn't have lasted long.
Zhou Dewen might have been scammed out of a lot of money.
From this perspective, Li Xingquan actually did something good.
But Zhou Dewen was a man deeply in love.
After two drinks, he began to wail and cry.
He cursed Li Xingquan while lamenting his misfortune that such a profound online romance had ended.
Later, exhausted from crying, Zhou Dewen took a taxi home.
Only Li Xiaoman and Wang Yue remained.
"Wang Yue, since Zhou Dewen is your childhood friend, did you already know we were classmates?"
Li Xiaoman suddenly asked.
"Yes, I did. Why?"
Wang Yue asked with a smile.
"Then why did you pretend not to know and keep asking me about class?"
Li Xiaoman huffed.
"Did I? I don't remember."
Wang Yue said with a smirk.
"Still pretending! I saw you smiling!"
Li Xiaoman said.
"I wasn't smiling."
The curve of Wang Yue's lips widened.
"Hmph! I'm not talking to you anymore."
...
After they finished dinner, it was nearly nine o'clock.
"Alright, I'll take you home."
Wang Yue said.
"Okay."
Li Xiaoman nodded.
They rode their bikes.
Their shadows stretched long under the dim streetlights.
"Old Man, what kind of girl do you like?"
Li Xiaoman asked, seemingly casually.
Wang Yue found it a bit familiar, as if Ding Junyao had asked him something similar?
"Don't you know what kind of girl I like?"
Wang Yue turned his head and winked at Li Xiaoman.
Seeing Wang Yue's expression, Li Xiaoman's face flushed, and her heart fluttered like a startled deer.
"Is he saying he likes a girl like me?"
Before Li Xiaoman could overthink, Wang Yue asked, "What about you? What kind of guy do you like?"
He thought about Li Xiaoman's boyfriend in his previous life.
He wasn't tall or handsome, and Wang Yue never understood Li Xiaoman's criteria for choosing a partner.
"Me? I like brave guys. I think brave boys are very charming,"
Li Xiaoman said after a moment's thought.
"Do you have no requirements regarding appearance?"
Wang Yue asked.
"Appearance isn't the most important thing, is it?"
"No matter how beautiful a face is, it will eventually age. Although I do hope my partner is good-looking, if I had to choose between soul connection and appearance, I'd choose the former."
After hearing Li Xiaoman's words,
Wang Yue fell silent.
So, in his previous life, was it because he wasn't brave enough that he missed Li Xiaoman?
The unresolved end to that relationship had always been a regret in Wang Yue's heart.
Not long after.
Wang Yue took Li Xiaoman home.
As they were going upstairs,
Li Xiaoman smiled and said goodbye to Wang Yue.
"Thank you, Wang Yue. I had a lot of fun today."
"I had fun too."
Wang Yue smiled and bid farewell to Li Xiaoman.
As he rode his bike back,
Li Xiaoman gathered her courage and called out, "Message me when you get home!"
After saying that, she entered the residential complex with a blushing face.
Wang Yue didn't look back, but a smile spread across his lips.
Upon returning home,
Wang Yue sent Li Xiaoman a message: "I'm home."
"Okay~"
Li Xiaoman replied instantly.
Then she proactively said, "Old Man, let's go singing again next time."
"Sure."
Wang Yue readily agreed.
After their meeting in his previous life, Li Xiaoman hadn't said anything like this to him.
It seemed he had left quite a good impression on Li Xiaoman today.
This night was destined to be sleepless.
For instance, Li Xingquan, who had just been lectured, was furious.
When Wang Yue dealt with him earlier, he thought it was just a beating and he could retaliate later.
But that night,
Wang Yue, you deserve to die!
The thought of losing face in front of so many people made Li Xingquan feel worse than death.
Who was he?
The school bully of No. 1 High School, the recognized leader.
If the news of him being beaten by someone from No. 2 High School got out, who would still respect him?
Thinking this, Li Xingquan felt restless and knew he had to retaliate.
And it had to be swift and decisive!
So that everyone else would know that crossing him had severe consequences.
With this thought, Li Xingquan took out his phone, found "Cousin" in his contacts, and dialed.
"Cousin, I've been bullied!"
Li Xingquan said aggrievedly after calling.
"Who!"
A stern male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"A punk from No. 2 High School."
Li Xingquan immediately said.
"You can't even handle a punk from No. 2 High School?"
The man's voice was clearly questioning.
"Cousin, he's very strong, I'm no match for him."
Li Xingquan continued to play the victim.
"Alright, when do you need me to back you up?"
The man said.
"How about Monday? I'll bring some people over."
Li Xingquan said quickly.
"Okay."
After speaking, the man hung up.
"Now you'll have a hard time."
A gloating smile appeared on Li Xingquan's handsome face.
At the same time.
After hanging up Li Xingquan's call, Yue Xiaopeng cursed, "This little brat, always up to no good, only knows how to fight. I'll teach him a lesson next time."
Beside Yue Xiaopeng was a woman dressed flamboyantly.
"Xingquan was bullied, why are you siding with outsiders?"
The woman said unhappily.
"I'm telling this brat not to go down the wrong path. I went down the wrong path and ended up in there for a few years. I don't want this brat to end up in there for a few years too."
Yue Xiaopeng pouted.
"Regardless, you need to teach that kid who bullied Xingquan a good lesson. We can't let our Xingquan be wronged."
The woman said again.
"Alright, alright, I'll definitely teach that kid who doesn't have eyes a good lesson!"
Yue Xiaopeng said impatiently.
