They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Having said all that, Lin Han had no choice but to accept the job.

If you've drunk someone else's craft beer, it's only right to make some compromises.

"That concludes today's activities. Everyone, please go home and get some rest!"

......

After Lin Han and Fang Yumeng left, Cao Dan, Xia Tao, and several other club members stayed behind to tidy up the classroom.

While cleaning up the bottles, Xia Tao felt increasingly uneasy.

"Wait a minute, President!"

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you think Lin Dashen looks a lot like Ju Zi Jiang?! I specifically looked into Ju Zi Jiang before; he's from Sichuan, and the pronunciation of their names is the same!" Xia Tao exclaimed.

"Did you just find out?"

Cao Dan seemed unsurprised.

"I thought so at first too, but after talking to him, he really doesn't seem like it! They're completely different in every way. Look at his bookish appearance, there's even a kind of clear stupidity in his eyes!"

"Also, did you see the expression on his face when he listened to 'Hair Like Snow'? He looked like he didn't want to listen at all, and he clearly didn't understand Orange Jam's songs. It's just a coincidence!"

"That's too much of a coincidence!" Xia Tao couldn't help but complain.

"What if it's all an act?"

This question truly stumped the president.

After much deliberation, Cao Dan said,

"If that's the case, then the task of uncovering Lin Dashen's identity will be left to Xiaomeng."

Is Xiaomeng reliable?

"Don't worry, this child just looks dull, but he's actually very smart," Cao Dan said with a smile.

......

Although he had inexplicably acquired a strange shackle, Lin Han still enjoyed his drinks tonight.

Back at his residence, lying on the bed, Lin Han's first thought was that he really wanted Xu Hui to try the craft beer as well.

Thinking back to what happened last night, Lin Han realized that he hadn't asked Xu Hui about the follow-up.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Xu Hui.

"Hui-ge, how was your date last night?"

"What date?" Xu Hui replied instantly.

"Didn't you take her back to school last night? In that situation, didn't you take her for a walk and let her get some fresh air?" Lin Han asked, puzzled.

He thought to himself, if Xu Hui didn't even know this kind of thing, he might really be giving up on women.

“Damn it, I wanted to too!” Xu Hui said, “but when we got to the school gate yesterday, she said she wanted to go in by herself and then we parted ways.”

"Ah this."

Sure enough, I was thinking too fast. After all, it was our first time meeting in person, and our relationship wasn't that close yet.

However, as long as Xu Hui's relationship with the girl improves, there's no rush; everything will fall into place.

"By the way, how is Goddess Yuli doing?" Xu Hui asked.

"You're asking me?" Lin Han asked, surprised.

"if not?"

Xu Hui said, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed excitedly,

"You've been in Beijing for a week now, and you still haven't contacted her?!"

030. My senior is angry again.

"Uh......"

Lin Han was stumped by the question and stammered, unable to speak.

"Hey kid, even as a friend, you've been in Beijing for so long, you should at least send a message to say hello!" Xu Hui cursed. "What grudge do you have against her or something?"

"No, no, I understand."

To be honest, Lin Han has been incredibly busy these past few days. The first few days were spent dealing with the start of the school year, and these past two days he's been handling coordination with Bilibili and dealing with Xu Hui's affairs. He simply doesn't have time to think about anything else. He hasn't even had time to visit Su Ruxue's luxurious estate yet.

Lin Han felt incredibly guilty. He knew that once he forgot, he forgot, and thinking about it more was just comforting himself.

"Stop with all that nonsense, go send a message to Goddess Pear to say hello!"

After Xu Hui finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Helpless, Lin Han opened WeChat and switched to Yan Yuli's chat window.

At this moment, Lin Han finally started to get nervous.

In fact, back when Lin Han told Yan Yuli that he was coming to Baijing ahead of schedule, Yan Yuli had already told him about her itinerary, which was only three days later than Lin Han's.

Yan Yuli even sent a screenshot of the plane ticket to Lin Han for a look.

That's right, Lin Han knew exactly when Yan Yuli arrived in Beijing, what time her flight would be, which airport she would arrive at, and what the flight number was. He knew everything.

Then, almost a week has passed, and he hasn't sent Yan Yuli a single message.

As expected of me!

Lin Han was starting to admire himself. Just how brainless did he have to be to do something like that!

Lin Han was almost laughing at himself.

　My hand holding the phone was trembling.

I'm sure I'll get yelled at anyway, right?!

Lin Han had already imagined at least a hundred different scenarios of Yan Yuli harshly insulting him.

Could it be that in a fit of anger, he's refusing to pay back the 400,000 yuan he owes me?!

Lin Han gritted his teeth, closed WeChat, and opened his contacts.

Call her directly; maybe she'll be more accommodating.

Feeling ashamed, Lin Han clicked the dial button.

"Beep-beep-"

"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please wait..."

Did it ring twice just now?

Lin Han was taken aback, wondering if there was a bug in the phone.

He replayed it.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy..."

Lin Han was full of questions.

Is Yan Yuli on the phone with someone at this time?

Lin Han had mixed feelings. He had originally wanted to make a WeChat voice call, but he quickly rejected the idea.

Since Yan Yuli is on the phone with someone else at this time, WeChat calls cannot be made.

Let me take a shower first, then I should be able to finish the fight later.

Thinking this, Lin Han sighed, tossed his phone aside, and went into the bathroom.

Two hours later——

Lin Han walked out of the bathroom, drying his wet hair.

Lin Han picked up his phone, just as he was about to make another call.

He suddenly noticed that Yan Yuli had updated her WeChat Moments!

Lin Han clicked on it out of curiosity—

[What kind of clueless guy apologizes by making two phone calls and then stops?]

???

What the hell? ?

Lin Han stared wide-eyed and read it carefully twice, confirming that it was sent by Yan Yuli.

Oh no, I've turned into a man with a penis after taking a shower.

Weren't you fucking on a call yourself?!

Lin Han was on the verge of tears; his defenses had been completely breached. Who the hell could he possibly complain to?!

At this moment, Lin Han suddenly noticed that Xu Hui had sent him a message more than an hour ago.

Attached is a screenshot of Yan Yuli's WeChat Moments.

"This isn't talking about you, is it?"

"Uh... I think so." Lin Han replied immediately, "Damn it, my senior actually predicted that I was calling her to apologize!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Hui replied instantly.

"Is that the point? Even I know that when you're trying to win a girl over, you have to make a few more phone calls, and at least your attitude has to be right!"

　"But both calls I made showed 'busy'. Then I went to take a shower and just saw this post on WeChat Moments," Lin Han said innocently.

Upon seeing this sentence, Xu Hui was so angry that Lin Han almost triggered his high blood pressure.

He was so excited that he immediately sent a 15-second voice message.

"Are you brainless? It's obvious Pear hung up on you! And you actually went to take a shower! And you showered for two hours?! What the hell are you doing?! Do you have any heart, Lin Han?! I think you should change your stage name to 'Bath Sauce' from now on!!"

"Stop scolding, stop scolding."

Lin Han was dumbfounded. How was he supposed to know that "The number you dialed is currently busy" meant the call had been disconnected? He had never encountered this situation before!

"Quickly think of a way to appease Goddess Pear! You're in big trouble!" Xu Hui said.

Lin Han quickly closed the WeChat interface and called Yan Yuli.

"Beep-beep-"

"Sorry, the number you dialed is..."

Lin Han called ten times in a row, and it was the same every time.

Lin Han suspected that his phone number had been blocked, so he made several more WeChat calls, but no one answered.

Done!

Lin Han was furious. Just how angry was this young lady?!

Yan Yuli's thoughts have always been the hardest to guess... no, to put it more bluntly.

This guy is the most petty of all!

You never know when she'll suddenly get angry!

Just like when she first registered on Weibo, Yan Yuli unfollowed the AWM group because she followed a few of the girls on Weibo.

Speaking of Weibo, Lin Han suddenly received another message in his inbox.

Yan Yuli updated her Weibo!

Lin Han clicked on it and saw Yan Yuli's photo.

Yan Yuli sat on the bed, wearing a nightgown, hugging her legs in the dim yellow light, looking somewhat helpless.

The light shone on the girl's delicate face, creating an atmosphere that was both melancholic and poignant.

Attached is the text:

Being alone is fine.

Lin Han “…”

Is it really that sad?!
