My girlfriend (2)

Yue Qianling hung up the phone directly, did some self-reflection, and then pushed the door open.

In the living room, her parents were sitting on opposite ends of the sofa. As soon as they saw her come out, both of them smiled and patted the middle of the sofa.

Yue Qianling sometimes couldn’t understand why her parents could quickly reconcile after quarreling with just a sentence or two.

She walked over slowly, and before her butt even touched the sofa, Ju Yunzhen couldn’t wait to open her mouth, “Lingling, your dad and I are not against you dating. You’re an adult now. But why did you choose a guy who is both incapable, not good-looking, and treats you poorly?”

“If it weren’t for Dajin’s mother saying that you said it yourself, Mom would never believe that your taste could be so bad.”

“What were you thinking? Could it be that the guy did something to you… How do they say it in the internet, PUA^[1]Pickup artist – refers to both the man and his manipulative techniques to seduce someone.? Is that right?”

Yue Qianling, who had her head down and silently listened to her mom, subconsciously answered when she heard the question, “Yes.”

“What?!” Yue Wenbin almost jumped up. “That little bastard really PUAed you?!”

“No, no!”

Yue Qianling waved her hands frantically. “I was just answering Mom’s question just now! He didn’t PUA me!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Qianling almost wanted to slap herself. “No, there’s no PUA, I don’t even have a boyfriend!”

The living room suddenly fell silent.

Ju Yunzhen and Yue Wenbin looked at Yue Qianling, and in the end, it was her mother who spoke first.

“Lingling, if there’s a problem, we can solve them. If you explain the situation about your boyfriend clearly, we might be able to accept it, but lying is not right.”

Yue Qianling looked up at the sky, speechless and on the verge of tears.

She actually didn’t want to tell her parents about Tang Xin, afraid that they would tell Tang Xin’s parents, but now that things had come to this point, she couldn’t hide it anymore.

After carefully explaining the whole story, Yue Qianling was afraid that her parents wouldn’t believe her, so she showed them her chat records with Lin Xun, which finally dispelled her parents’ doubts.

“That’s how it is. I don’t have a boyfriend at all. It’s just a show.”

After finishing, although Yue Qianling suspected that Tang Xin still liked her at this moment, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she clasped her hands together and earnestly pleaded with her parents, “It’s all a misunderstanding. Tang Xin is also a misunderstanding. I overthought it. He doesn’t actually like me. Please, don’t mention it to anyone, or else how can I face him in the future?”

Ju Yunzhen and Yue Wenbin clearly didn’t understand why these young people had so many twists and turns. They nodded blankly, promising that they wouldn’t talk about it.

“Okay, I know. It’s good that you didn’t find that kind of boyfriend.”

Ju Yunzhen patted her shoulder. “But you’re not young anymore, it’s time to find a boyfriend. You’re already twenty-one years old.”

Yue Qianling pouted. “No hurry. Bai Suzhen^[2]a character from Chinese folklore, “Legend of the White Snake”. got married when she was over 1,700 years old.”

“Yue! Qian! Ling!”

Yue Qianling quickly jumped up and fled the scene, “I’m going to take a bath and go to bed!”

On the first day of the break, so many chaotic things happened. It didn’t tire her physically but was mentally exhausting.

However, after she showered and lay down on the bed, she realized that she hadn’t thought much about the situation with Gu Xun’s girlfriend tonight. It wasn’t as uncomfortable as she had expected.

But now that she thought about it, her heart began to feel anxious again.

Human hearts were really strange, especially when it came to comparison. She originally thought that Gu Xun was indifferent to all girls, only to find out that he would spend the entire spring holiday with another girl. In comparison, the discomfort she was feeling was worse than his neglect and coldness.

Yue Qianling tossed and turned in bed but couldn’t fall asleep, so she simply took out her headphones and started listening to music.

Tonight in Qing’an, the wind was clear, the moon was bright, and even the sound of wind blowing through falling leaves was especially gentle.

In Jiangcheng, which was not far from Qing’an, the clouds were thick, and the continuous drizzle that had been suppressing the city all day finally quietly fell. It added a few more degrees of gloominess to the already cold city.

Only a few lights were on in the entire dormitory building, like scattered stars in the dark night, making this rainy night even more bleak.

Every year during the Spring Festival, there were students who would stay on campus for the Chinese New Year, either working on experimental projects or preparing for periodic exams.

The only one who simply didn’t want to go home was probably Gu Xun.

The campus during the holiday was unbelievably quiet, without even the sound of the wind.

After taking a shower, Gu Xun came out and sat at his desk. Just as he was about to type two lines of code, he suddenly thought of something, picked up his phone, and transferred fifty thousand yuan to his mother.

After putting down the phone for a few seconds, the ringtone rang suddenly.

Gu Xun glanced at the caller ID. The light from the desk lamp reflected in his eyes dimmed a little, but there were also complex emotions floating around.

He answered the phone.

“Mom, still not asleep?”

The voice of the woman on the other end was very serious, “Why did you suddenly transfer money to me?”

“It’s the Chinese New Year,” Gu Xun calmly said, “just a token of appreci.”

“Goodwill? Are you showing me how much money you make now?” The woman’s voice became sharp, “I don’t need your money. What I need is a son who does serious things.”

Gu Xun suddenly felt very tired.

He closed his eyes, threw the phone on the desk, turned on the speaker, and started typing on the keyboard while talking.

“Then you can dispose of that money as you wish. I’m going to work on my graduation thesis for a while. You should go to bed early.”

The call was hung up after five seconds of silence.

Half an hour later, Gu Xun picked up his phone again and found that the money hadn’t been accepted yet.

He stared at the screen for a while. The code in front of him turned into meaningless letters and numbers. So, he picked up his phone again, and opened Yue Qianling’s chat.

【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: Girlfriend, are you asleep?

She replied quickly, apparently she wasn’t asleep either.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Who’s your girlfriend.

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: We’re at this stage, isn’t it more affectionate to call you girlfriend?

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Then isn’t it more affectionate to call me dad?

Gu Xun’s lips suddenly curled up into a smile. He closed his laptop and walked towards the balcony.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: If you have something to say, say it quickly, I’m about to sleep.

Gu Xun glanced at the lights in the distance, thought for a moment, and typed unhurriedly.

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: Help me think of a gift for someone.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: ?

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Father’s Day is still several months away, there’s no rush.

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: ?

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: (#^.^#)

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: A gift should be chosen by yourself to be sincere!

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: If I knew her interests, would I still be asking you?

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Oh, a girl.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Is it for a girl you like?

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: .

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: No.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Then what’s there to choose, isn’t it more convenient to just send money?

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: Stop talking nonsense and choose quickly.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Then you have to tell me what her preferences are!

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Does she like makeup?

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: Not really, she doesn’t like to dress up.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Does she like jewelry?

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: Probably not.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: This girl seems quite unique.

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: I guess so.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Then does she like to play games?

​​【Is it illegal to be bad at something, sir】: She likes it alot.

​​【Cilantro connoisseur who loves chili】: Oh! Then I know!

Gu Xun smiled and was about to ask what she had in mind when he saw her send him a link –

A month ago, Yue Qianling saw a new mechanical keyboard from a famous brand. The feel of the keys was the consistent high quality of that brand. However, the new pastel-colored LED lighting paired with exquisite keycaps was too good-looking. Even someone like Yue Qianling, who didn’t care much about the appearance of keyboards, couldn’t help but be enchanted.

The only downside was that it was a bit expensive.

In the end, she didn’t really need a new mechanical keyboard, and during that time, she had spent quite a bit of money, so she couldn’t bring herself to buy it.

But she still wanted it, so she hinted at her mom, and her request was rejected.

The keyboard had been sitting in her favorites, gathering dust. Just now, she couldn’t sleep and decided to take a look at it again, still unable to decide whether to buy it.

So when Lin Xun asked her, the first thing that came to her mind was this keyboard.

After sending the link to him, Yue Qianling couldn’t help but brag about her taste.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: You found the right person to ask. This keyboard is something every gaming girl loves.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Just send it to her. If the other party doesn’t like it, I’ll let you use my head as a stool.

​​【School Grass】: ok

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Then, I’m going to sleep.

​​【School Grass】: Wait a minute.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: ?

​​【School Grass】: Your address and phone number?

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: What for?

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Are you planning to meet offline for a fight?

​​【School Grass】:…

​​【School Grass】: You don’t dare?

Yue Qianling quickly provided an address.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: How many people are you bringing? I need to prepare.

​​【School Grass】: I’m bringing my parents.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Bringing your parents to fight is a trend now?

​​【School Grass】: Shut up.

​​【School Grass】: I just opened the link and saw that the second item is half-price.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: ?

​​【School Grass】: I’ll just buy one for my girlfriend too as a New Year’s gift.
