I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 77 What’s wrong with the world of illusion?
Li Xue was enjoying this moment very much.

Despite its flaws and setbacks, it was still an outstanding performance. Thousands of people in the audience cheered and applauded them. In just a few minutes, thousands of people witnessed her excellence...

Li Xue could even hear the discussions of several girls sitting in the front row.

"Isn't this guy the KTV singing god who was all the rage online? They said he was going to be a big star. I didn't expect he's actually from our school, in the journalism department."

"Are he and that girl a couple?"

"That should be the case. Didn't you see them holding hands while singing? And this girl's voice also appeared in that video..."

……

Are the two of them a couple?
Li Xue knows her own business. She and Bai Chou are certainly not a couple, but for some reason, she just enjoys the feeling of being mistaken for Bai Chou's girlfriend.

Just like how Bai Chou enjoyed being “Dan Meng’s boyfriend” back then.

I am a great beauty and a second-generation rich kid. My boyfriend is talented, tall, rich, handsome and good-looking. We are a match made in heaven. Everyone envies and envies me.

Even if the feeling at this moment was caused by misleading information asymmetry, Li Xue hoped that it could continue, even if it was just for one more second.

In the words of Uchiha Obito, "What's wrong with the world of illusion?"

What she got was not only the vanity, but also the benefits that could go into her pocket: so far, only Zhou Haoyu came on stage to give her flowers, and the score between her and Bai Chou was 1:0.

According to the bet she made with Bai Chou before going on stage, as long as no one sends her flowers next, she wins, and Bai Chou must cooperate with her to decorate her circle of friends and get her father's gold coins.

However, Li Xue obviously forgot that after Uchiha Obito said what was wrong with the world of illusion, he immediately said "reality is too cruel".

Li Xue, who was immersed in false happiness, looked up casually and discovered the "cruel reality" approaching. Her eyes instantly became panicked.

Her roommate, Bai Chou's former "old lover" Shan Meng, was holding a bouquet of flowers, her cheeks slightly flushed as she walked towards the stage hesitantly.

In the other direction, Bai Chou's real girlfriend, Kim Hyo Joo, was also holding flowers and preparing to go on stage.

Li Xue suddenly remembered that Shan Meng and Jin Xiaozhou were planning to send flowers to Bai Chou, and it was she who instigated this idea.

Dan Meng is easy to deal with, but Kim Hyo Joo will most likely interact intimately with Bai Chou after she comes on stage, showing her affection and declaring her sovereignty to deter villains.

By then, not only would the "romantic relationship" between her and Bai Chou created due to the information gap be exposed, but the score would also be reversed to 1:2.

Don’t do that kind of thing!

For the first time, I experienced the feeling of "love", and for the first time, I had the hope of exploding gold coins. These two joys overlapped, and they should have given birth to more and more happiness...

But why did it turn out like this?
Am I at the end of my rope?
No, there's no way I could admit that. Lin, once again...

Just as Shan Meng came on stage, Li Xue, with a look of confusion, was in turmoil. She went over all the famous lines from White Album and Brother Tuzi in her mind, thinking of ways to break the deadlock.

"Bai Chou, your performance is..."

Shan Meng, with her cheeks slightly flushed, had just walked onto the stage without saying a word, and before she could hand the bouquet to Bai Chou, Li Xue rushed over, took the flowers from Shan Meng's hand, held Li Xue's arm, and said something to Shan Meng with a smile, looking like a close friend who was deeply grateful to her best friend for giving her flowers.

At the critical moment, Li Xue's amazing wisdom came online again!

Wouldn't it be fine if we just cut the flowers before Shan Meng and Jin Xiaozhou give them to Bai Chou? We are roommates, so it's natural for roommates to give flowers to each other, right?

This not only maintains the illusion that he and Bai Chou are in a relationship in the eyes of others, but also changes the score between him and Bai Chou to 3-0.

What a genius I am!

Shan Meng was slightly startled, only to see Li Xue's lips moving non-stop, chattering in an incomprehensible Goblin language. "Xiaoxue, what are you talking about?"

How do I know what I'm talking about!?

Not only did Shan Meng not understand, Li Xue herself didn't know what she had just said: "Nothing, don't worry about it."

Li Xue enthusiastically pulled Shan Meng closer to Bai Chou, as if she wanted to introduce her best friend to Shan Meng, and whispered softly, "Meng Meng has something to tell you."

Shan Meng did have a few words to say to Bai Chou, but the flower was taken away by Li Xue, and the words she had finally organized were all disrupted.

He could only endure Bai Chou's inquiring gaze and stammered, "Your performance... was even more exciting than in high school."

"Really? I think so too." Bai Chou nodded with a smile.

The singing skills may not have improved much, but other things such as costumes, stage, lighting, sound equipment, etc. have been improved by more than one level, so the performance effect is naturally better.

After that sentence, Shan Meng's nervousness eased a little. After hesitating for a moment, she finally lowered her head and asked the question she really wanted to ask: "Have you booked your ticket home for the National Day holiday?"

National Day holiday?

"I probably won't be home on the 11th. Is something wrong?"

"It's okay." Shan Meng felt lost. This was obviously not the answer she wanted to hear.

At this moment, Kim Hyo-joo, who had been following Shan Meng not far behind, also came on stage with flowers in her hands. Li Xue, who was holding Shan Meng's arm affectionately and looked like a lifelong sister, suddenly let go of Shan Meng and trotted towards Kim Hyo-joo with a smile.

"Hyo Joo, how was my singing just now?" Li Xue said as she took the bouquet from Kim Hyo Joo's hand, held Li Xue's hand and pretended to kiss her best friend.

Kim Hyo Joo was also slightly stunned. I gave the flowers to my boyfriend, why did you take them?

However, considering that Li Xue's brain would occasionally fail, it was normal for Li Xue to rush into the flower. In addition, compared to Li Xue, Jin Xiaozhou paid more attention to what Shan Meng and Bai Chou said.

Without further ado about why Li Xue took the flowers, Jin Xiaozhou lowered her voice and asked, "What did she say to Bai Chou?"

"She asked Bai Chou if he had booked the ticket to go home..." Li Xue did not hesitate to backstab Shan Meng, who was kissing her like a close friend just a few seconds ago.

"Humph!"

Jin Xiaozhou snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes and glanced at Shan Meng, I knew that you still had evil intentions towards Bai Chou, and you still want to play this kind of trick!

"Okay, okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go down first..."

Sensing the hostile gaze of Kim Hyo Joo, Shan Meng, who already felt guilty, quickly ended his performance and hurriedly walked off the stage. When he passed by Kim Hyo Joo, he lowered his head even more, not daring to look her in the eye.

Even though Shan Meng left in disgrace like a lost dog, Jin Xiaozhou did not relax her guard against Shan Meng. She knew very well the lethality of a seemingly weak girl like Shan Meng to men.

However, temporarily driving the powerful enemy out of one's territory is a good thing after all. Next, it is time to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Just as Kim Hyo-joo was about to throw herself at Bai Chou's side to show their affection on the stage, Li Xue suddenly stuffed the two bouquets of flowers in her arms into Bai Chou's arms, and then walked off the stage holding Kim Hyo-joo's wrist with one hand and Bai Chou's wrist with the other.

"Hurry up, hurry up! The host seems to be gesturing to us, urging us to get off quickly to make room for others."

"Eh?"

Kim Hyo Joo was slightly stunned, and before she had the chance to show her affection, she was pulled off the stage by Li Xue.
