You Got Hit On Too

The plane took off and landed.

Lin Yu and Gu Yue followed their original plan.

They rested for half a day in the hotel.

After getting themselves into top shape, they headed straight for the buffet.

The two of them, in the buffet restaurant,

ate so fiercely it felt like the sky was spinning and the world had gone dark.

They devoured everything with no regard for anyone, even making babies stop crying.

After that meal, they successfully unlocked a life achievement:

eating at a buffet—

going in leaning against the wall and coming out leaning against the wall!

With only a few leisurely days left before school started,

Lin Yu and Gu Yue just wandered around the city, eating and having fun.

They didn’t run off anywhere else.

Soon,

the first day of school arrived.

Gu Yue was over the moon.

A first-tier university.

Bunk beds with desks underneath.

Private bathroom.

Four people per dorm.

This setup had both style and substance.

As for Lin Yu, he was having a tougher time.

Because he discovered that in certain spots on this campus, he could still sense that eerie sense of familiarity.

This meant

the whole plot and destiny thing hadn’t been resolved yet.

But Lin Yu wasn’t panicking.

He figured he’d deal with problems as they came.

He’d already turned down the first four female leads.

Even if four more showed up, so what?

Lin Yu relaxed his mind

and started enjoying his college life.

But his easy days didn’t last long.

One by one, troublesome and off-kilter situations started kissing him hello…

…

In the dorm,

Pangzi’s big eyes were nearly dried out from staring,

but he still couldn’t see anything special about that deadbeat blond on the balcony—

one hand holding a cigarette, the other scratching his butt.

Why?

It had only been a few days since school started.

How come so many beautiful girls were flocking to hit on him?

Pangzi just couldn’t figure out what those gorgeous, well-proportioned women were thinking.

Why were they all willing to lower themselves to chase after this blond punk?

What were they after?

His yellow hair?

Or the fact that he didn’t bathe?

At the very least, if this deadbeat blond were rich, Pangzi could accept it.

In today’s society,

gold-digging was no longer something to badmouth.

But this guy? No money, no looks.

Every day, in his black shorts and black shirt, strutting around like a thug collecting rent.

Why did he deserve the attention of so many beautiful senior girls?

Thinking about the love letters and small gifts he’d delivered for those girls recently,

Pangzi was grinding his teeth in resentment!

It wasn’t just Pangzi; even Lin Yu’s other two roommates couldn’t understand it.

And actually, Lin Yu himself wasn’t sure what they were thinking either.

In today’s world,

things that reflect a person’s appearance are everywhere—

metal elevator walls,

glass windows on streets and alleys,

or if you’re washing your face, just look down.

You’d roughly know what you look like.

Lin Yu was fully aware of his own appearance.

Not ugly.

By the standards of bars, nightclubs, and other shady spots,

his roguish face could even pass for half-handsome.

But in this top-tier university in a first-tier city,

don’t talk about half-handsome—

guys who were one handsome, two handsome, even three handsome were a dime a dozen.

Given the looks and class of the girls coming up to him,

if they wanted,

they could easily form a "sucker squad" of a strengthened platoon.

Why would such good-looking girls randomly come after him?

A punishment in Truth or Dare?

Or someone’s mission?

It made no sense at all!

Lin Yu kept a high level of alert toward these inexplicable approaches.

But then again,

Lin Yu had been feeling pretty good lately.

Never mind why they approached you—

the fact was they wanted to get close.

They gave him small gifts,

checked in on him over the phone,

asked his friends about his preferences,

and expressed their feelings for him in front of everyone.

That was a massive boost to his ego, right?

Smoking his cigarette with satisfaction,

Lin Yu stubbed it out on the balcony’s iron railing,

then went back into the dorm and tossed it into the corner trash bin.

It was Saturday.

As early as Thursday,

Lin Yu had already made plans with Gu Yue

to go to the water park in the south of the city.

Gu Yue wanted to soak in the water beautifully

to beat the summer heat.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, had seen on short videos that the water park had several fixed Gatling-gun-like water cannons

that could randomly shoot at passing water roller coasters.

He planned to go there and practice his aim!

Swapping one pair of slippers for another,

Lin Yu, in his usual unchanging black T-shirt and shorts,

strolled slowly toward the north gate of the campus.

He kept this leisurely, lighthearted mood the whole way—

until he saw Gu Yue at the north gate, being hit on by a guy…

…

Gu Yue stood under a lush green parasol tree inside the school gate.

Scattered sunlight, broken by the leaves, gently fell on her

white strappy dress with a beige lace vest over it.

A cute little brown bear hair clip was perched playfully in her black hair.

At first glance,

she really had that "campus fresh-faced goddess" vibe—

a sweet, girly style.

Beside her

stood a man with dyed blond hair.

He was tall, with a straight back,

and his looks could be rated at least two-and-a-half handsome.

Even as a fellow guy,

Lin Yu had to admit—

this damn dude really was good-looking.

Sharp eyebrows, chiseled features, a high nose bridge—

a standard, drop-dead handsome man.

The two of them were standing in the shade of the parasol tree.

The Blond Man was holding his phone, carefully saying something to Gu Yue.

From the looks of it,

he clearly wanted her contact information.

Watching them under the tree,

Lin Yu’s mind was a mess—

like someone had mixed soy milk and tofu pudding together, stirred it up,

then dumped it into a bucket of eight-treasure porridge.

A chaotic, maddening jumble.

Seeing this proper-looking bastard trying to chat up Gu Yue,

Lin Yu’s first reaction was fury—

like someone was trying to take something that belonged to him.

But soon,

he realized something was off.

Why was he angry?

Hadn’t he been treating Gu Yue as a friend, a buddy, a younger sibling all along?

If your friend, your buddy, your junior got into a relationship, you should congratulate her!

When your buddy gets married,

to show how much you value the relationship and send your best wishes—

but what was this inexplicable anger in his heart?

Lin Yu realized his emotions were off.

This wasn’t the kind of possessiveness you should feel for a friend, a buddy, or a junior.

He tried to steer himself back on the right track,

but the blazing, undeniable fury in his gut

was like a giant slap,

smacking him hard across the face—

forcing him to face the truth.
