Chapter 4 — 108K General Director and Thick Debtor

I was confused, I searched my mind but couldn't find anyone who could match Qi Man.

"See, you've completely forgotten me. Before, you called me sweet, but now..."

"I'm sorry that I didn't see clearly that day and stabbed into your shirt, but I really don't know you!"

Te Man didn't say anything more, just held the phone out in front of me. Looking at the chat screenshots, I remained silent.

“You have no conscience, do you remember now?”

Well... let me ask, is love online considered love? The memories I thought I had buried began to attack my brain, forcing me to remember those silly times. Near graduation, my Pedagogical school and the C school next door organized a "trial love for a week" dating activity. At first I didn't intend to participate, but unfortunately, my roommate was the one who organized the event. To avoid the party being empty, I - the only single person in the room - was enticed to register to fill the number.

“Diem Diem, please choose the most handsome person for me. If we become a couple, remember to invite me to dinner.”

“I want someone who doesn't talk much, preferably as mute as possible!” That's what I said at the time.

I don't know if there's something wrong with To Tranh's mind. He turned around and introduced me to the most eloquent and talkative name. What's even crazier is that this activity requires two people to keep up with 99+ messages per day. That means I have to reply to every message he sends to reach the target. 【What are you doing?】 【Eating.】 【What now?】 【Still eating.】 【What now?】 【Eating.】 【What now?】 【.】 【And what?】 【Pour the rice, go back to the room.】 … To Tranh looked at that chat, I burst out laughing in the dorm room.

“Looking at you, you can see that the men are trying very hard, but unfortunately you, Diem Diem, are too stiff.”

"I'm trying too. You see these past few days, I answer every question, respond to everything, exactly the ideal girlfriend!"

To Tranh laughed again: "It's a real reason, but you're too mechanical."

So, as the only single person in the room, the sisters took turns passing on their secrets to me. That night, I made rapid progress, no different from the college entrance exam sprint of the past. 【Brother, have you eaten yet?】(Photo of a rabbit holding a carrot) 【Why didn't you reply to the message?】 【Diem Diem misses you so much, wants to play hide and seek on your abs.】 【Are you angry with Diem Diem?】(Sulking photo) 【Diem Diem is wrong, in the future I will obediently wish you good night on time.】 That good person. answered right away, but for five minutes there was still no movement. I took the phone and ran to find To Tranh, my eyes full of wonder: "Master, please help me check, why doesn't he answer?" She sighed deeply and waved her hand: "You go, don't say I'm teaching."

“Tell you to learn to be a sweet, good girl, not a stupid one.”

It's strange, I think I'm very sweet, right? There's flirting, there's repeated cute words, and there's even an icon included! Where did I go wrong? I held the phone again and waited for a while longer, then the person with the nickname "Man Man" answered: 【Sister, I was giving a presentation just now. Thanks to your blessing, the whole class knows that I have a girlfriend who likes to act like a babe.】

“???” Mom, I'm so humiliated, I'll lose face all the way to C school.

I lay flat on the bed, closing my eyes. Oh God, please let me sleep here forever! I don't dare reply to messages anymore. Anyway, it's about to happen Time is up, tomorrow is the last day. That night, when I was about to sleep, the phone suddenly rang. As soon as I picked up the phone, the other end didn't speak. Only the sound of me and his breathing remained. I suddenly remembered To Tranh's advice. I tried to suppress my voice: "Good evening, brother~" Hearing that, the other end let out a soft laugh: "Diem Diem... sister?" This was the first time I heard his voice, I didn't expect it to be so pleasant and charming. That sound entered my ears, making me feel numb.

“I… I am.”

“Do you have a cold?”

Huh? I tried so hard to keep my voice quiet but he told me I had a cold! I cleared my throat again: "No, is something wrong?" Maybe it's because the difference in voice between front and back is too big. The person on the other side was a little stunned: "We haven't met yet, or should we go out to dinner tomorrow?"

“Okay.”

“So see you tomorrow, good night.”

“Um, good night.”

Oh my god, he invited me to dinner! What should I wear, a dress? Could it be that I was deceived? I'm not stupid like To Tranh!

By the next day, it was clear that I had been thinking a lot. He basically didn't appear at all. We met at a hot pot restaurant near the school. At dinner time, it was packed with people, bustling in and out, luckily I had booked a table the night before. A place in the corner, next to the window, with good ventilation and good lighting. I sat there waiting for a long time, he still didn't come, from the initial nervousness to calmness. It must have been more than an hour, but when the waiter came to ask for the third time, I realized that I had really been sent up the tree and he wouldn't come again. School C is right next door, if it's true as he says now, even cows must be there. 【I'm about to go out!】 【I'm going too.】 【Let's meet at the hot pot restaurant later. PS: Wearing something like this today.】 【Diem Diem is so pretty today!】 Looking at the chat that stopped two hours ago, my heart feels sour. Could it be that he came and just saw my face and then turned and ran away? I tried texting him. There is no red exclamation mark, so the possibility of me being blocked is ruled out. Thinking about it, I still don't understand what happened. Hot pot for two people, how can I eat it alone? I chewed a few quick bites, finally had to call the staff to destroy most of the untouched dishes, then hastily paid and left. On the way home, I still couldn't help but call him. Sitting quietly on the flower bed, I heard the bell ring. Just as I was about to turn off the phone, someone picked up. On the other side was a girl's voice, sweet and easy to hear: "Hello, may I ask who?" I was stunned, unable to say anything.

“Who are you asking?”

For some reason, I reflexively assumed that this was his girlfriend.

“I... I'm looking for the owner of this WeChat number.”

"Ah, it's a bit inconvenient for him to answer the phone right now. I'll tell him to call you back later!"

It's inconvenient, or not wanted: "No need, sorry."
