Why Lv Rou?
Why did it have to be Lv Rou?
Why did it have to be Lv Rou—the same Lv Rou who once played "secret lovers" with Lin Yu in their class?
Chi Qingshui desperately wanted to blurt out:
How do you know it’s her?
What evidence do you have that it’s her?
Lin Yu, have you been hoping all along that it was Lv Rou on the other end?
Then what does all her effort and companionship online mean to you?
At this moment.
Lin Yu was genuinely impressed by Chi Qingshui’s composure.
Even though her heart was shattered into pieces.
Her online boyfriend had mistaken her for someone else.
Yet she still clung to the principle that "if you don’t take off your sunglasses, no one can see your tears."
She forced herself to salvage the awkward situation:
"Oh, so it wasn’t me after all. I thought so."
"Given how long we’ve been classmates, you wouldn’t jump to such a misunderstanding."
"Lv Rou… she is indeed very pretty."
"But as your classmate, Lin Yu, I have to warn you."
"From what I know—actually, what most of the class knows—"
"Lv Rou had a boyfriend all through freshman and sophomore year."
"Is she really serious about this online relationship with you?"
Chi Qingshui assumed all love-struck boys were blind.
She meant well with her warning.
The girl never stopped dating other guys!
Isn’t that obvious?
How could your online girlfriend possibly be her?
Chi Qingshui also knew Lin Yu wasn’t stupid.
What could make him overlook such a glaring red flag?
Then.
Lin Yu sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, his voice quiet but oddly confident as he spun his tale:
"Qingshui, I’ll be honest with you—just don’t laugh at me."
"After we confirmed our relationship, I asked Lv Rou to meet up many times."
"When she kept refusing, I started to suspect…"
"That my girlfriend probably already had a boyfriend in real life."
"Maybe I’m just a backup, right?"
"But I don’t mind. Being a backup is fine."
"If… if I keep treating her well, won’t she eventually be moved?"
"And now, Lv Rou doesn’t have a boyfriend in real life anymore, right?"
"Qingshui, look!"
"I think my chance has finally come."
"She doesn’t know I’ve figured out she’s my online girlfriend."
"But she sent me this!"
With that.
Lin Yu showed Chi Qingshui the WeChat message he’d received.
Chi Qingshui: "!!!"
What’s going on?
Why would Lv Rou send something like that to Lin Yu?
Wait…
Girls understand girls better.
Chi Qingshui didn’t like badmouthing her classmates in public.
But that didn’t mean she didn’t know what kind of person Lv Rou was—or what kind of guys she usually dated.
Lin Yu was definitely not her type.
Unless…
A sudden memory struck Chi Qingshui.
Wu Chuntian, Lv Rou’s roommate, once lost a bet.
At two or three in the morning, she climbed out of the dorm window.
And ran a full lap around the building—completely naked.
Since the security cameras didn’t catch her face, no one could prove who the girl in the footage was.
Only their class—
And a few hundred students in the film department—knew the truth.
How could something like that stay hidden?
At most, she escaped punishment because there was no solid evidence.
The reason for the midnight sprint?
A drunken game of "truth or dare."
Wu Chuntian had been the one to draw the short straw that night.
With that precedent in mind.
Chi Qingshui found it easier to believe.
That Lv Rou’s sudden flirtatious behavior was just another lost bet!
But compared to that…
Lin Yu’s long, heartfelt speech twisted Chi Qingshui’s heart even more.
She hadn’t refused to meet because she had a boyfriend in real life!
Lin Yu…
Could he really be this foolishly in love?
Suspecting he was just a backup, yet willingly accepting it without complaint?
No…
That wasn’t quite right.
Maybe Lin Yu hadn’t accepted it willingly at all.
Hadn’t he repeatedly asked to meet in person?
Hadn’t he drowned his sorrows alone?
Weren’t those all signs of his inner struggle?
So the truth was.
Chi Qingshui’s own choices had slowly led Lin Yu to "accept" this reality.
After reading Lin Yu’s chat logs, Chi Qingshui stayed silent for a long time, unsure how to respond.
If she spoke too bluntly, she might accidentally damage "Lv Rou’s" image.
Wouldn’t that just repeat the scene from the taxi?
She didn’t want Lin Yu saying harsh things to her over another girl.
But if she tiptoed around it, would a "love-struck" Lin Yu even understand?
"It’s true that Lv Rou’s message seems a little ambiguous."
"But are you really sure your online girlfriend is her?"
"What if… what if you’re wrong?"
This approach was safe.
Until the other person admitted it, wasn’t it all just speculation?
"I can’t just march up to Lv Rou and confront her, can I?"
"I promised my girlfriend online that I wouldn’t pressure her to meet again."
"I don’t mind if she never acknowledges me as her boyfriend."
"But I don’t want to ruin whatever friendship we have."
This explanation was tailor-made for Chi Qingshui.
If she confronted her "girlfriend" based on guesses alone, would she even admit it?
Of course not.
So what now?
Lin Yu had said so much, but his surface-level request was for Chi Qingshui to help him figure it out.
It almost felt like helping Lin Yu pursue… herself.
And now, of all times, a "fake Monkey King" had to show up!
If she gave advice, who knew if it would just benefit the impostor?
"Lin Yu, there’s something important I need to ask you."
Chi Qingshui suddenly turned serious.
Lin Yu probably guessed what was coming and nodded in agreement.
Chi Qingshui asked:
"In your heart, who do you really like—your online girlfriend, or Lv Rou herself?"
"Of course, your theory is probably right, and the girl you’re dating online is her."
"But just hypothetically, if it were someone else, which one would you truly love?"
Lin Yu didn’t hesitate:
"Of course it’s my online girlfriend!"
"It’s just that I realized she’s Lv Rou."
"After all…"
"A guy like me—how many girls would ever like me in real life?"
"Hah, I’m lucky if anyone shows even a little interest!"
"I’m thinking of confessing to her soon."
"What do you think, Qingshui?"
Chi Qingshui: "!!!"
That’s not true…
You’re not some unlovable guy!
Even if you want to confess, it shouldn’t be to Lv Rou!
You idiot, the person you love isn’t her—how can you be so careless?

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
