The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

Azure Plaza, Blue Ocean Restaurant.

A place where you can eat beautiful food.

For a place to eat nice food, the environment must first be up to standard.

Underwater world style.

You can vaguely see the clownfish embedded in the fish tank through the gaps in the glass of the wall.

Table A22.

The two girls sat down facing each other.

"What? It's you? Oh no, Lu Yuan's affair has been discovered."

Shen Jia teased Shang Qingya in a mischievous manner.

After all, I'm used to it. As Shang Qingya's old friend, I've been there for her both during our friendly period and during her bullying period.

Shen Jia never said anything serious.

Because when dealing with a vulnerable and sensitive little girl, this relaxed way of speaking is itself a way of demonstrating superiority.

Her teasing would either cause Shang Qingya to suffer internally or secretly shed tears.

"Without a confirmed relationship, how can there be talk of infidelity?"

Shang Qingya proactively scanned the QR code to order food, including two cups of coffee.

She scanned the code and paid the bill.

"Looks like you're doing well as a streamer, making quite a bit of money?"

Shen Jia raised an eyebrow and placed his hands on the table.

She subtly revealed the Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry on her wrist.

Flaunting wealth is a low-class tactic that can't be openly discussed.

When faced with flaunting wealth, if you silently bow your head when you feel the gap between the rich and the poor, then flaunting wealth is a way of harming you.

Shang Qingya did not lower her head, but instead boldly swept her gaze over and stared at the bracelet.

Then he laughed and muttered to himself:

"Is this all you'll ever do?"

"As long as it works."

Shen Jia forced herself to say something, then quietly put her wrist under the table.

She tried to get back at him:

"You still say you weren't catching someone cheating? Are you going to say you just happened to come to this restaurant, happened to see me, and that's why you sat here..."

"No, I came here to see you." Shang Qingya took the coffee from the waiter and said directly, "Since you're always coming up with new ways to declare war on me, why don't we sit down and talk face to face?"

"Who would be interested in being your enemy?"

"You're the one who's most interested."

A helpless smile even appeared on Shang Qingya's face:

"Do you really want to date Lu Yuan?"

"Of course."

"If I weren't there, would you still want to talk?"

Shen Jia instinctively wanted to say, "Who do you think you are?", but just as she was about to say it, Shang Qingya's words choked her.

"Don't rush to answer. Think about it carefully. Does your impulse to date Lu Yuan stem from the thrill of defeating me?"

That's a profound statement.

Shen Jia tried hard to figure out the logic behind it, and once he figured out the logic, he thought he should start thinking.

As she pondered this, she vaguely felt that it might actually be true.

Because her mother told her that she had to come back from a long distance.

She once asked: Did Shang Qingya come back with you?

"Shen Jia, sometimes I even doubt whether your sexual orientation is normal."

Shang Qingya shook her head, her expression turning puzzled.

She did have this suspicion:

"Haven't you noticed that many of your behaviors are similar to what teenage boys do—pulling girls' hair—which seems like a prank but is actually a way to get attention?"

"I am heterosexual."

Shen Jia retorted.

"Then why do you always want to beat me?"

"Do I need to beat you? I'm happy; my parents give me lots of money..."

Shen Jia stopped talking after a while.

Faced with Shang Qingya's "keep being stubborn" look, she broke down and couldn't continue.

Because they've grown up.

I know that saying some things is just showing off.

"Maybe it's because you're pretty."

Shen Jia lowered his head and murmured.

Shang Qingya is the most beautiful girl Shen Jia has ever seen, from childhood to adulthood, and even up to this day.

With Shen Jia's personality and generosity, she must be the leader of a large group of cronies.

However, Shang Qingya doesn't need to socialize to easily gain a lot of attention.

The "good friends" she painstakingly cultivated only needed to glance at Shang Qingya before turning around and asking her: Does Shang Qingya have a boyfriend?

She had thought things would change, but Shang Qingya became more and more beautiful.

Just like now, Shen Jia wore a full set of jewelry and designer clothes in order to take photos at this restaurant.

But Shang Qingya, sitting opposite, wearing only a white dress and white Converse sneakers, with a little light makeup, still managed to attract frequent glances from passersby.

Even Shen Jia felt an urge to take out his phone and film her.

That's what I think.

But Shen Jia couldn't admit it; she had to say, "But I also have my strengths."

"I admit it, but you envy me." Shang Qingya said this without the confidence one might expect.

It was actually a counterattack after a long period of forbearance.

"You can't beat me in the areas where you admire me, so you always resort to these underhanded tactics."

"Where did I do anything despicable?"

"Being unable to bear seeing others happy is despicable."

Words, regardless of length, can always resonate with people as long as they speak to their hearts.

Shen Jia wanted to run away, but she was still somewhat resentful.

She didn't think her motivation stemmed solely from these reasons.

"I admit you're pretty and have good grades, but what you're saying is a bit pretentious..."

"I didn't say you envied me for being pretty or having good grades," Shang Qingya said, squinting. "In fact, I've thought a lot about what happened between us since I went to university, wondering why it ended up like this."

"Tell me! What is it about you that I envy?"

"You envy me for being able to focus on my life no matter what. Many people pursue me, but I am still firmly clear about where the way out is. I like the long road, so I will not listen to other people's opinions and will pursue him no matter what."

But you are different. You live in someone else's life, and your happiness comes from me.

You can only prove that you are better than me by belittling me, bullying me, and taking my things.

But the truth is quite the opposite; you are cowardly, selfish, and greedy.

Shang Qingya shook her head; this was the reason she had come here today.

Some things, once they happen, need to be reflected upon.

The bullying incident during her adolescence appears to be a conflict between two immature children.

But for her personally, it wasn't like that. Shen Jia's influence on her was destined to be an indelible part of her life, and might even affect her future.

When you encounter a bad person, the only way is to stay away from them.

Shang Qingya had tried very hard to stay away from her, but she would still stick to her like a leech.

Therefore, she had to tell her in person:

"Shen Jia, you can't even be called my enemy."

After saying that, Shang Qingya finished her coffee and left.

Drinking the bottom of the coffee is a poor person's habit, even though the bottom of the coffee has no milk and is very bitter.

But at least I feel good inside.

You'll feel great inside after you bravely express yourself.

Good things come in pairs; the world always rewards those who dare to express themselves.

So the moment she stood up, she saw Lu Yuan lurking suspiciously at the door.

When Lu Yuan saw her, his expression changed instantly.

What are you doing here?

"I'll arrange a date with Shen Jia for you."

Shang Qingya rolled her eyes and pouted to express her displeasure.

"Where is Shen Jia? Is this how you do things for me after I've asked her to?"

Hearing Lu Yuan's call, Shen Jia suddenly stepped out from behind and held out his hand to Lu Yuan: "You have to compensate me for my emotional distress. Your girlfriend's words made me feel humiliated."

"You promised to do things for me, but you didn't have good intentions."

They definitely had ill intentions.

When Shen Jia heard that Lu Yuan wanted her to secretly book a restaurant and prepare some surprises, she was surprised.

She agreed on the spot.

Because she wanted to cause some disruption at the scene, like sneaking away from the surprise...

But after Shang Qingya said that...

She looked a little dejected, like a defeated dog on the street.

"What...what are you going to do?"

"This is the sea too."

Lu Yuan smiled.

He pointed to the clownfish swimming through the gap in the glass wall.

When Lu Yuan saw the fleeting surprise in Shang Qingya's eyes, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

Wow, I made the right choice!

After rejecting the game in my mind, I realized that reality is even better than the game.

Lu Yuan began developing his real-world gameplay style.

This is his first step!

This dating sim is definitely more fun and exciting than a fighting game.
