The girls at the table by the aisle deliberately adjusted their posture, one of them flipping her long hair in hopes of catching his attention.
Yet Gu Luo didn’t even spare them a glance, walking straight to the corner of the café where Gu Ximan and Lu Xuexue were seated.
He didn’t even look at the two insignificant guys at the opposite table. Just as he was about to sit across from the two girls, Lu Xuexue, her face flushed, stood up and gestured for him to sit between them.
This...
Gu Luo hesitated for a quarter of a second before smiling and walking past Lu Xuexue to take the middle seat.
Immediately, faint fragrances enveloped him from both sides—one sweet and cloying, the other light and elegant.
Before arriving, he had read Gu Ximan’s message explaining the situation: how she had boldly claimed that the two of them were dating the same boyfriend.
To shake off these clingy pests and save face, she had asked him to play the role of their so-called shared boyfriend.
Gu Luo didn’t mind. If anything, it was a lucky break—a chance to enjoy some unexpected perks. Besides, both girls were like sisters to him, so of course he’d help out.
Might as well treat it as a rehearsal. Given their unique relationship, they’d probably need him as a shield again in the future.
Luckily, the corner booth was secluded, with high-backed sofas and a tall fiddle-leaf fig plant partially obscuring the view. The other customers couldn’t see what was happening here, so he could comfortably play the part of their mutual boyfriend.
On the other side of the table,
The two clingy guys were stunned.
Bro, what kind of stats are these?
What were the devs thinking? Doesn’t this break the game’s balance?
Even as guys, they had to admit—this dude was ridiculously good-looking.
If this were a nightclub, those usually aloof "queens of the scene" and so-called top-tier beauties would probably pounce on him like starving wolves.
...Now it seemed the two girls might have been telling the truth after all.
The taller guy, though irritated that this guy hadn’t even glanced their way—no, hadn’t so much as looked at them—forced a smile and spoke up:
"Hey man, we really meant no harm to your... friends or sisters or whatever. We just wanted to get to know them. We’ve been nothing but polite the whole time."
Hearing this, Gu Luo finally turned to him, his tone indifferent. "Following my... two girlfriends all the way here at night? Who knows what you were planning."
He nearly stumbled over the words "two girlfriends," and for some reason, it gave him an inexplicable thrill...
"......"
Seeing him outright admit it, the taller guy was now genuinely unsure but didn’t want to lose face. He pressed on, "Look, bro... How about this? Order whatever you want tonight—our treat as an apology to the ladies. You really don’t have to keep up this act..."
But before he could finish, Gu Ximan suddenly wrapped her arms around Gu Luo’s neck and planted a loud, smacking kiss on his cheek.
Then, Lu Xuexue, mustering all her courage, leaned in and quickly pecked his other cheek, leaving a faint dampness behind.
Her heart was practically bursting with happiness.
This time, she got to kiss Gu Luo openly!
Ximan was a genius!
"......"
"......"
The two guys were utterly dumbfounded.
Bro.
You’re for real?
How is this fair?
By now, they were convinced. Just as they were about to don their clown masks and slink away in defeat, Gu Ximan spoke up again:
"You don’t believe a kiss on the cheek counts, huh? Then how about this?"
With that, she stood up, sat on Gu Luo’s lap, and before he could react, pressed her lips to his in a full-on kiss.
Lu Xuexue: !!!!!!!
Taller guy: ?????
Skinnier guy: ???????
Gu Luo: ?????????!

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls.

"Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
