Returning to university, starting with confessing to his ex-wife, his counselor.

Liang Chao admitted that for just a moment, only for a split second, he wavered.

I exchange true sincerity for genuine affection, daring to laugh at the patriarch's lack of deep feeling! I, Liang Chao... will not be a lord... wait a minute, something's not right!

He almost shouted those words out loud, but luckily he managed to hold back. He thought to himself, "What kind of romantic genius is this?! I'm never reading the author's books again!"

In dormitory room 404, which was empty, the lights were gleaming.

After his night run, Liang Chao washed up and lay alone on his bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling both fear and guilt.

Of course, I only felt guilty for a few seconds.

[Although it's said that betraying someone's sincerity will make them suffer a thousand needles, I was just a little fickle and didn't intend to be irresponsible. Strictly speaking, I didn't really betray them.]

The moment this thought arose, Liang Chao's mind became clear, and he couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and make a rounding motion in the air.

"I must say, Xiaoyu'er's method is quite effective!"

Most negative emotions in the world can be countered with astringents. After Xiao Yu'er's "professional treatment", most of the gloom in his heart was removed.

The last tiny bit of anxiety vanished completely after seeing the message from the older sister.

tide: Come pick me up at Zhenglou at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Park the car at the back gate and don't show up.

tide: [smile]

Liang Chao reread the message, carefully studied the extra smiling emoji, and realized that he couldn't understand it at all.

Although he couldn't understand it, it gave him a strange sense of unease.

"I guess I'm overthinking it. She's not the class monitor; she's not that unpredictable. That expression definitely means she's happy!"

Liang Chao consoled himself in this way, let down his last bit of guard, and sent a message back to his older sister.

Every day, every day: Great! [Grinning face]

Liang Chao didn't wait for a reply, thinking that it was almost midnight and his older sister should be asleep by now. Just as he was about to exit the chat, he saw the message "[The other party is typing...]" appear in the chat box.

These words flashed on the screen for a long time, giving a feeling of urgency, but also... urgency is useless.

He blinked, stopped what he was doing, and waited patiently.

But after waiting for a long time, not a single word came. Finally, Yang Shuxi's profile picture went black.

Just as Liang Chao was wondering if his older sister had forgotten to turn off the screen while she was sleeping and accidentally pressed the wrong button, the avatar suddenly lit up again.

tide: [smile] [smile] [smile]

Seeing that three consecutive smiles, Liang Chao couldn't help but feel uneasy.

In the context of modern chat, when a smiling emoji appears without accompanying text, it means the conversation has died. However, the smiling emoji hasn't yet been given yin-yang attributes, so he couldn't immediately decipher his older sister's meaning.

After much deliberation, Liang Chao decided to reply.

Day after day: [Smiling]

Just to be on the safe side, he returned a smile, thinking to himself that replying the same way couldn't be wrong.

Sure enough, the older sister replied immediately after he finished replying.

tide: Six o'clock, come pick me up at six o'clock!

tide: See you there! [Smiling]

Upon seeing this news, Liang Chao immediately sat up.

I bet I did! They came an hour early. Were they already impatient to see me?

Liang Chao exited the chat and gave himself a thumbs up for his wit, thinking to himself that it was always me who could accurately grasp his sister's little thoughts.

He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and reopened Xiao Yu'er's chat window.

Now that things are settled with my sister, the next step is to figure out how to free up time for tomorrow.

He had already come up with an excuse, so he told Xiaoyuer that he had to go to a relative's house and couldn't play with her.

As Liang Chao was thinking and about to edit the text, a message came in first.

Little Fish: Boyfriend, I have to go home tomorrow and can't be with you. Be good, okay? [Cute]

It was Xiao Jiayu, whose contact name he had changed. The message was filled with happiness and dependence, but Liang Chao felt a little dizzy as he looked at it.

It felt like some kind of divine intervention was paving the way for his affair... no, for his freedom.

Liang Chao was pleasantly surprised and replied with an "okay" without thinking too much about it.

Xiaoyu'er is a local of Jinguan, living in Greenland Jintianfu, a newly developed upscale residential area. Her parents live there and miss their daughter, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to ask her to go back during the holidays!

People in the Liang Dynasty were in high spirits when they had a happy occasion, and for a moment they were no longer sleepy.

He snuggled in bed, lying on his side, staring at his phone screen, and began to "spy" on other people's holiday life (scrolling through QQ Moments)! He didn't like or reply, he just quietly looked.

He flipped through the pages, scrutinizing their clothes, jewelry, and backgrounds. Like a seasoned detective with years of experience, he meticulously investigated, searching for every clue.

Finally, he discovered a little unlucky girl, Xiaoxue.

The caption is simple: "Sunshine, beach, waves," the location is Sanya, and the accompanying photos are a standard nine-grid layout, with eight landscape photos surrounding a selfie featuring long legs.

To be honest, Xiaoxue in the photo has a really amazing figure—full breasts, long legs, and a perky butt.

The pose in the photo gives the impression that her buttocks are so perky they could hold a case of soda.

But when Liang Chao looked at the nine-square grid, he frowned because one of the eight landscape photos looked very similar to his computer desktop wallpaper.

Suspicious, he opened WeChat's step count and saw that Tang Xue's line showed 106 steps. He immediately lost his composure.

Mr. Liang felt embarrassed for Xiaoxue for a while, but kindly did not expose her.

Instead, she quietly took screenshots of Xiaoxue's WeChat steps and status updates and saved them to her phone.

As for why this was done...

Eighteen years old, a 1.8-meter-tall leg model and school beauty—he'd never met anyone like her in his previous life. Although he didn't dare mess with other girls yet, it's always better to be prepared!

Xiaoxue, you wouldn't want your fake posts on WeChat Moments to be exposed...

After saving the photos to a hidden file, Liang Chao continued to browse the lives of other people.

Well, for most college students, the National Day holiday was rather uneventful. There was no travel, and no one they absolutely had to see. The only things were the warm bed that their mothers forcibly pulled out of their beds at eight in the morning, or the endless ears of corn they could pick in the cornfield.

Liang Chao looked at it, feeling both dazed and somewhat lost.

He returned to the age of eighteen, but he was not eighteen after all. It was difficult for him to be carefree and to waste his time with a clear conscience.

Thinking this, he felt a pang of guilt and was about to quit QQ when his gaze was drawn to the activity of an acquaintance.

It's Hu Qiji, the class monitor who just "broke up" with his relationship.

He took a picture of an empty living room and captioned it as follows.

For me, going home is not a happy word.

Just like how I've heard the clock ticking in the opposite direction a hundred times, but when I wake up, I'm still alone on the sofa. No nagging from my parents, no joyous reunion, and no you!

Upon seeing this, Liang Chao immediately lost his composure, thinking to himself, "What kind of heaven-defying romantic is this?"

He scrolled through the comments, expecting them to be filled with comfort and sympathy, but instead, all he heard were voices of envy from Ah-hao.

Chen Zihao: It's great to live alone. When I go home, my parents scold me terribly!

Hu Qiji: @Chen Zihao, my parents are out earning money and don't have time for me! It's actually quite nice to be alone. [Grinning face]

Seeing this, Liang Chao nodded silently. Living alone, he could stay up all night during his holidays.

A free bird, a lonely island, no girls to bother me, no heartbreak to worry about—it's all good except for using up a few tissues!

Old Hu is really enjoying himself!

Liang Chao liked the post and was genuinely happy for Lao Hu. Just as he was about to comment, Jiang Zilang suddenly sent him a message.

Jiang Zilang: Did you take the things I gave you?

Liang Chao: What?

Jiang Zilang: BYT, didn't you see the message? I put it in your car!

Liang Chao: Oh, this one? It's all used up! [Picking nose]

Jiang Zilang: ? ? ?

Jiang Zilang: You're telling me... we've used up the 24-pack bulk box?!

Jiang Zilang: You son of a bitch...you deserve to die!!!

Liang Chao was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself that there was nothing to be surprised about. It only takes forty minutes to kill one, so it's only a little over ten hours.

A couple of days ago, he and Xiaoyu were only sleeping three hours a night, and that wasn't even enough.

Liang Chao ignored the red-eyed monster, locked his phone to charge, put his head on the pillow, and fell asleep in 30 seconds.

In a daze, he seemed to raise an eyebrow.

I have to say, ever since I got a "girlfriend," I do fall asleep much faster than before, it's just... snoring away...
