Chapter 8

Mutual Viewing of Each Other’s Social Circles

As the night deepened, Lin Senmu, having just finished his shower, found himself unable to sleep. Lying on the hotel bed, he idly scrolled through short videos.

Whenever he came across something interesting, he often shared it with his high school buddy Nie Hao or tagged him in the comments.

Suddenly, he stumbled upon a video filled with fireflies scattered across a mountainside. The caption read: “The little beauty you tag to watch the fireflies will be happy every day!”

Lin Senmu thought the caption and the visuals were incredibly beautiful and really wanted to share it with Jiang Yuan.

Earlier, their conversation had abruptly ended due to a lack of topics, as they were still getting to know each other. Consequently, neither had sent any further messages to the other.

“Princess Yuan Yuan, what’s your DouLe account number?” Lin Senmu initiated a new day’s casual chat.

In the hotel, Jiang Yuan was hiding under the covers playing with her phone. Upon receiving Lin Senmu’s message, she was filled with curiosity about the video he mentioned.

However, glancing at her DouLe interface, a hint of struggle flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She quickly thought of a solution, but after a series of operations, the system prompted an error.

Jiang Yuan, feeling frustrated, could only resist, “No!”

“Bummer, I came across a super beautiful scenery and wanted to share it with you!” Lin Senmu sent a sad emoji.

Biting her lower lip, Jiang Yuan, feeling unusually soft-hearted, hesitantly typed in a string of numbers, “93775144839.”

Lin Senmu searched for Jiang Yuan’s account and the next second, he burst into laughter, “Nickname ‘Flower of Wealth,’ profile picture a lotus flower, hahaha, Jiang Yuan, are you trying to kill me with laughter?”

Yuan Yuan, I knew this would be the outcome!!!

The young girl, embarrassed and angry from being laughed at, retorted, “I just graduated from high school, I was using my mom’s DouLe account and forgot to change it! I wanted to change the nickname and profile picture just now, but DouLe seems to be acting up, and I can’t even register a new account right now.”

“Am I not good to you? You’re the only one who knows my DouLe account, even my high school besties don’t know it.”

Lin Senmu rolled around on the bed in laughter, but his text message was serious, “Believe me, I’m not laughing anymore, I’ve shared the video with you, go check it out.”

“Hmph!”

Jiang Yuan sent a poop emoji to stink him out!

After watching the video Lin Senmu shared, the girl’s lips curled into a slight smile, delighted by the keywords ‘little beauty’ and ‘will be happy every day.’

Subsequently, Jiang Yuan received a follow from ‘Wisdom Grass of Lazy Goat Village Chief’ with the profile picture of Lazy Goat Village Chief.

You know what, you really know what, ‘Flower of Wealth’ and ‘Lazy Goat Village Chief’ have a bit of an unconventional couple vibe!

Jiang Yuan casually followed back the Wisdom Grass of Lazy Goat Village Chief.

She then took a look at Lin Senmu’s DouLe homepage, which, like most young people, had no posts.

Suddenly, she thought of something and switched back to the Green Bubble interface, “Lin Senmu, I don’t have access to your social circle.”

Hearing this, Lin Senmu changed his social circle settings to visible for the last six months and made his recent travel photos, which were previously only visible to himself, public.

Jiang Yuan first saw Lin Senmu’s travel photos, and looking at the time and location of the posts, her eyes brightened with joy.

“Lin Senmu and I are so coincidental, the day he left Xiangchu for Bayu was exactly the day I left Jiangnan for Bayu.”

“He went from Bayu to Chuanshu, and I also went from Bayu to Chuanshu, then we took the same train to the Western Regions!”

Thinking this, Jiang Yuan felt her heart suddenly beat faster.

Continuing to read, Jiang Yuan learned a lot about Lin Senmu. Like her, he had just graduated from high school this year, wore size 43 shoes, and was quite good at gaming, holding the rank of Glory King.

He had posted ‘Happy Birthday to Me’ in March.

The date shown was March 26th.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan decisively searched for the zodiac sign of that day—Aries.

The young girl blushed. She was a Sagittarius, and when she had studied zodiac signs before, she saw that Sagittarius was most compatible with Aries and Leo.

Lin Senmu, after being reminded, also looked at Jiang Yuan’s social media feed. But upon entering her feed, his expression immediately turned to one of confusion.

As his finger scrolled down the page, each post made Lin Senmu more and more astonished.

“My goodness!”

“Are these posts really from Jiang Yuan’s social media?”

[After living most of my life, I finally realized the essence of the latter half (must-read for women)]

[When things feel off, actively discard these three old things, and things will get better]

[Super healing tips for the soul, all brothers and sisters who read this must save it]

Lin Senmu’s mind was full of question marks, feeling he must have entered the wrong social media feed.

He couldn’t believe Jiang Yuan was into such toxic positivity. He couldn’t reconcile the Jiang Yuan in his mind with such a social media feed.

Lin Senmu swiped up and closed the app.

Then he logged back in and re-entered Jiang Yuan’s social media feed, only to see the exact same content as before.

He gave up!

Lin Senmu took a screenshot and sent it to Jiang Yuan, even offering her an excuse: “Is this also your mom’s account?”

Jiang Yuan was just about to talk to Lin Senmu when she received the message. She quickly grabbed the blanket from her bed and covered her head. Under the covers, the girl swiftly deleted one post after another.

Oh no, I forgot to delete these!

So what if I had a chuunibyou phase, huh?

“Uh-huh, this is also the account my mom uses!”

Jiang Yuan lied, her face red with embarrassment.

Lin Senmu looked at the transfer interface, which displayed (*Yuan), and wisely chose not to provoke the girl who was socially embarrassed.

After erasing the toxic positivity from her social media feed, Jiang Yuan felt it necessary to salvage her image as a beauty. “Actually, I usually use Penguin, and my posts there are super normal.”

According to accurate statistics, the number of post-00s generation using Penguin is higher than those using Green Bubble.

“And the content on Green Bubble is indeed posted by my mom.”

Mom, please take the blame for your Little Padded Jacket!

“I don’t believe it!”

Lin Senmu sent a meme of someone covering their mouth and laughing.

“What will it take for you to believe me?”

Jiang Yuan sent a pitiful expression.

“What’s your Penguin ID? I’ll check your space.”

Lin Senmu took the opportunity to ask for the girl’s Penguin ID.

Jiang Yuan sent her Penguin ID over, only to realize, “Wow, Lin Senmu, you tricked me again! You want to add me on Green Bubble, DouLe, and now Penguin!”

“Hurry up and accept the friend request!”

Lin Senmu chuckled to himself, thinking that once he got her phone number, he would have all her contact information.

“Got it.”

Jiang Yuan remembered what she had wanted to say earlier, “Lin Senmu, I want to see all your social media posts!”

“I also want to see your Penguin Space,” Lin Senmu replied.

Jiang Yuan quickly went to check Lin Senmu’s social media, but after a short while, she came back, frustrated, “I’ve been tricked! Lin Senmu, your posts stop six months ago. What’s going on?”

“That was my non-mainstream phase. I just deleted all of it! [Cool]”

Lin Senmu laughed triumphantly.

“Hmph, I’m tired. I’m going to sleep!”

Jiang Yuan let out an adorable yawn.

“Good night!”

He said.

“Good night!”

She replied.
