Something like pure love...

Damn it.

They really aren't leaving any way out for us single guys!

Xu San thought aggrievedly.

Eventually, he channeled his grief and indignation into his appetite and started devouring the beef and mutton on the table.

After eating for a good while, when Xu San looked up again, he found that the couple had disappeared.

Unconsciously, he let out a small sigh of relief.

Yeah.

It wasn't that he was envious of that man.

It was just that he was grinding his teeth so hard they were about to break!

After his eating frenzy, the sesame paste in Xu San's dipping bowl was almost bottoming out.

Looking at the remaining meat and vegetables on the table, he couldn't bear to waste them.

So he stood up and headed toward the hotpot restaurant's condiment station again, preparing to mix another batch of his exclusive, secret-recipe sesame paste.

On his way there, Xu San saw a girl walking toward him.

Xu San's black eyebrows twitched slightly, and obvious amazement flashed in his widened eyes.

So beautiful.

Xu San couldn't help but silently sigh in admiration in his heart.

The young woman before him perfectly matched almost everyone's fantasy of a youthful, innocent campus beauty.

She had a pure and beautiful face, fair and delicate skin, and a slender, graceful figure. Every movement she made exuded the quiet elegance of a good girl.

On her face, full of youthful collagen, there was no heavy makeup. Just a few light strokes of an eyebrow pencil and some lip balm made her entire presence shine even brighter.

This kind of youthful, gentle girl was absolute kryptonite to Xu San, who was only a college sophomore!

Perhaps it was just the nature of boys.

The more they faced someone who made their heart flutter, the more they would tightly bind their humorous souls, becoming as stiff and awkward as a board.

After the initial shock of her beauty, Xu San immediately averted his gaze. He didn't even dare to take another look at the approaching girl, terrified she would notice and feel disgusted by his presumptuous staring.

It wasn't until they brushed past each other that Xu San cautiously turned his head, taking one last lingering look at her.

So beautiful...

Xu San couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Immediately following that, a question popped into his mind.

Why were there so many beautiful women out today?

Was it Saturday or Sunday? Did the schools have a day off?

Doing a quick mental calculation, Xu San realized today was Wednesday.

However, at this time of year, students were already on their winter break.

No wonder there were more beauties on the streets.

Having figured this out, Xu San continued toward the condiment station to mix his exclusive secret sesame paste.

After adding a little bit of everything into his small bowl, Xu San's exclusive secret sesame paste was complete.

He turned around and headed back the way he came, happily planning to polish off all the remaining food!

Returning to his seat, Xu San sat down with a sense of immense satisfaction.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw a familiar scene.

???

Why were they kissing again?

Wait!

Looking at those clothes.

Could this girl be the pure campus beauty he had just brushed past?

Damn it!

Why do all the good girls end up with pigs?

...

While silently complaining in his heart, Xu San suddenly noticed something else.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

As if he had seen a ghost.

What the hell.

If his eyes weren't deceiving him.

The guy currently making out with this little cabbage was the exact same guy who, just moments ago in this very spot, was making out with a different cabbage!

Looking at the man's face, Xu San completely lost it.

Fuck!

This cheating scumbag!

With such beautiful girlfriends, any normal person would hold either one of them in the palm of their hand, carefully protecting and cherishing her.

And yet he was two-timing them!

Is he even human?

Xu San was furious.

At this point, playful emotions like envy, jealousy, and bitterness had completely faded away.

Another thought slowly surfaced in his mind.

Should he go and expose this scumbag?

As the wave of anger receded, Xu San felt a bit conflicted.

After all, this was someone else's business and had nothing to do with him.

Why should he stick his nose where it didn't belong?

Not to mention, that man had a face that clearly said he was not someone to be messed with...

...

After thinking it over, Xu San finally clenched the fists resting on his knees.

He made up his mind.

He was going to expose this scumbag's true colors!

This wasn't out of jealousy or envy.

After all, even if he exposed the scumbag, those two beauties wouldn't suddenly look at him any differently.

It was because he felt that love required respect!

All half-hearted jerks and betrayers.

Deserved to go to hell!

Xu San didn't act immediately to expose the man's two-timing misdeeds.

After all, there were simply too many people in the restaurant, and he didn't want to make a huge scene.

Xu San slowly ate the food on his table while keeping his eyes glued to the trio at that table.

Upon seeing the three of them pay the bill and leave, Xu San immediately paid his own bill, got up, and chased after them.

About fifty meters away from the entrance of the hotpot restaurant, Xu San caught up with the trio.

He blocked their path, pointed at the man, and blurted out everything he had just seen and heard.

To Xu San's surprise, the two beauties didn't show their angry sides and bitterly denounce the man as a scumbag, as he had expected.

Instead, the two of them lowered their heads, revealing awkward, embarrassed, and guilty expressions.

While Xu San was still stunned by their strange reaction.

He saw the fierce-looking man suddenly take a step forward, squeezing right between the two girls.

Then, opening his arms, he affectionately placed his hands on the waists of the two women and asked softly:

"And then?"

Xu San froze. Staring at this bizarre scene before him, he couldn't recover his senses for a long time.

"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

The man smiled faintly, and just like that, with his arms around both women, he walked right past Xu San...

...

In the biting cold wind, Xu San had no idea how long he stood there in a daze.

He looked at the vast, snow-white city before him, yet in his heart, he felt an incomparable darkness.

Damn it...

So this is the truth of this world?

Something like pure love...

...

Is it really just a despicable scam after all...
