A bizarre stream of memes poured forth like a waterfall in reverse, overwhelming to the eyes.
Lin Yu felt a pang of guilt.
The meme's bear staring back at him felt like Gu Yue's gaze from a thousand miles away—shocked, suspicious, disbelieving, and burning with the fury of betrayal.
Under Gu Yue's relentless questioning, Lin Yu had no choice but to spill everything, like Cao Cao retreating from a siege—there was no hiding it anymore.
After laying everything bare, Lin Yu endured nearly a full minute of Gu Yue's bombardment of eerie memes.
In the dead of night, it was downright unsettling.
Dragon Overlord: I wanted to tell you back then.
Model Student: ?
Dragon Overlord: But by the time I found out about your college application, the deadline had passed.
Model Student: ??
Dragon Overlord: Figured there was no point telling you then, so I kept quiet...
Model Student: ???
Dragon Overlord: Sorry /(ㄒOㄒ)/~~.
Model Student: ??????
No matter what Lin Yu said, all he got in return were question marks from Gu Yue.
After apologizing, Lin Yu simply stopped responding, and Gu Yue resumed her meme assault.
After five or six minutes—presumably having cooled off a bit—Gu Yue finally typed out a proper message.
Model Student: Where are you now?
Dragon Overlord: S University in S City.
Model Student: Is Tang Manman also in S City?
Dragon Overlord: No.
Dragon Overlord: She’s still at N University.
Model Student: ???
Model Student: What’s going on?
Model Student: Didn’t you say you wanted to go to a college closer to her?
Dragon Overlord: Things changed. It’s complicated.
Dragon Overlord: Anyway...
Dragon Overlord: It’s over.
After sending that last message, Gu Yue stopped replying. Strangely, though, the chat box kept displaying "typing..." at the top.
Lin Yu wondered if his phone had frozen.
After scrolling through some short videos, Gu Yue’s message finally came through.
Model Student: Did you break up with her?
Model Student: Or did she break up with you?
Lin Yu stared at the messages, thinking neither description really fit, and typed back.
Dragon Overlord: I wouldn’t call it a breakup.
Dragon Overlord: We were never officially together.
Dragon Overlord: Then something happened, and...
Dragon Overlord: That was that.
Model Student: What happened?
Gu Yue pressed like an overly curious child.
Lin Yu frowned, not wanting to answer—it wasn’t exactly something to be proud of.
Dragon Overlord: Don’t wanna talk about it.
Gu Yue went silent again, though this time only for about a minute before another message popped up.
Model Student: So does that mean you’re single now, just like me?
Model Student: (raised eyebrow smirk)
Dragon Overlord: Nope, I have a girlfriend.
Model Student: ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Model Student: Since when?!
Model Student: How did I not know?!
Dragon Overlord: Right after Tang Manman left. Found someone a few days later.
Dragon Overlord: (nose-picking)
Model Student: So THAT’S why you kept turning me down when I asked you to hang out!
Model Student: You were sneaking off to see your new girlfriend!!!
Lin Yu smacked his lips, thinking Gu Yue had it wrong.
He wasn’t ditching her to chase after a girlfriend—he just didn’t have time to hang out because he was already seeing someone!
But he couldn’t be bothered to correct her. No point in complicating things.
Model Student: Who’s the lucky girl?
Dragon Overlord: You wouldn’t know her.
Model Student: ...
Model Student: 6
Gu Yue stopped messaging after that, and Lin Yu was relieved.
Now that the bomb had dropped, he felt lighter.
Good—no more scrambling for excuses to lie to her!
The next morning, with no early classes, Lin Yu slept in until past ten before finally getting up and heading downstairs.
As he strolled toward the cafeteria, his mind buzzed with thoughts of food.
After weeks of scouting with his buddies, he’d sampled almost everything the cafeteria had to offer.
A few dishes stood out—delicious, perfectly suited to his tastes.
He’d already mentally bookmarked them as his go-to meals for the next four years.
Just as he was debating whether to pair his meal with sweet, creamy pumpkin juice or fizzy soda, four guys suddenly stepped in front of him, blocking his path.
The one in the center, looking him up and down with clear disdain, spoke first.
"You’re Lin Yu?"
Lin Yu eyed the strangers, unsure what they wanted, but nodded.
"Yeah, that’s me. What’s up?"
The leader scoffed, his gaze dripping with contempt as it swept over Lin Yu’s cheap clothes, like he was some kind of joke.
Then, without warning, he jabbed two fingers into Lin Yu’s shoulder and growled,
"Stay the hell away from Luo Xiaoxiao, got it?"
Lin Yu stood frozen, letting the stranger poke him twice.
Luo Xiaoxiao?
Who was that?
The name sounded familiar...
Wait—
No.
A more pressing realization hit him.
He quickly pulled out his phone, using the dark screen as a mirror to check his reflection.
Dark skin.
Sharp, intimidating eyes.
Gaunt cheeks.
A high, severe nose.
Thin lips.
A face that screamed "don’t mess with me."
???
This checks out.
Seriously, dude?
I look like this, and you’re trying to bully me?
What’s wrong with you?
While Lin Yu inspected himself, the four ignored men grew visibly irritated.
The ringleader—sporting a flashy watch—snapped and tried to slap the phone out of Lin Yu’s hand.
"You deaf or something?"
Lin Yu lifted his hand just in time, leaving the guy swiping at air.
Humiliated, the man yanked his hand back and thrust a finger inches from Lin Yu’s nose.
"You better stay away from Luo Xiaoxiao, or I’ll make sure you regret it, you hear me—"
"Cough!"
The man folded mid-air like a crumpled piece of paper, flying back several feet before crashing to the ground.
"Damn!" Lin Yu retracted his foot, glaring at the guy now curled up in pain.
"You really thought I wasn’t gangster material?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon.

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack.
