Chapter 10

“@Yes, professional, come out and say a few words.”

Originally planning to lurk, Yes felt a headache when he saw Olivia Bennett’s @.

Chapter 0006 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Strikes Again

Yes only added one group on QQ.

It was his junior high class group from the No.1 Foreign Language School in Shanghai.

And it was his childhood friend Olivia Bennett who added him to the group not long ago.

He never really had any friends growing up.

His QQ had always had only Olivia Bennett as a contact.

Weirdos aren’t meant to have friends anyway.

Besides, his grades were so good that back in school, he attracted quite a bit of resentment.

Very few people in the group actually liked him—in fact, except for Olivia Bennett, they all disliked him.

So, after Olivia Bennett @’d him, the previously lively class group instantly went cold.

Talk about giving him no face at all.

He had actually thought, since they were all old classmates, he could at least say hi—he’d even typed out the message.

But the sudden silence made him delete everything he’d written.

Decision made: he’d just stay a lifelong lurker.

After a while, when he still didn’t show up, the class group became lively again.

“Has everyone in the group come back to Shanghai now? The day after tomorrow is Little New Year’s Eve, how about we all get together tomorrow? Haven’t seen everyone in years, I really miss you guys.”

“Class monitor, you don’t miss us, you just miss the campus belle Lin! @the weirdo at the next desk”

“I remember the campus belle Lin’s deskmate was Little Fairy Olivia, right? Was Little Fairy weird back then, @Olivia Bennett?”

“Didn’t think so, I always thought Little Olivia was cute. Little Olivia, come out and say something—tell us, what did you do to the campus belle Lin? @Olivia Bennett”

“I wouldn’t dare do anything to the great beauty Lin. And her deskmate might not have been the same in junior high—could’ve been elementary, or even high school or college, right? @the weirdo at the next desk”

“Little Olivia is great in every way, but every time she’s around the campus belle Lin, she seems a bit sour. Is it because she’s jealous of Lin’s popularity with the boys? Everyone, come out and say—who do you like more, the campus belle Lin or Little Fairy Olivia? If you like Lin, press 1; if you like Little Fairy Olivia, press 2. @all the boys”

Yes, who was planning to focus on watching TV, heard the constant pinging from the group and glanced at the chat history, a bit surprised.

Lin Qiuyi is in the group too?

Yes was just stunned for a moment, and the whole chat window was filled with ‘1111’.

“Olivia Bennett, trust me, I really do like you. I pressed 1 just to boost Lin’s numbers so I can keep you for myself.”

“Olivia Bennett is the most cheerful girl I’ve ever met. Look, even if I press 1, she won’t get mad.”

“I knew you’d all press 1, so my vote doesn’t matter, right? To keep Little Olivia from being the only one with a single vote and looking bad, I’ll press 1 too.”

Seeing the flood of messages, Yes could only think that his junior high male classmates were all quite the characters.

Little Olivia must be screaming into her pillow right now.

“You guys have a death wish or something!”

“Little Fairy Olivia is about to be driven crazy by you all. Isn’t the campus belle Lin going to say something?”

The class group, which had just been spamming, suddenly went quiet again, waiting for Lin Qiuyi to deliver her victory speech.

“Boring.”

Seeing those two words, Yes finally confirmed that the ‘weirdo at the next desk’ was definitely Lin Qiuyi.

Those were two words you could almost hear being spoken aloud.

“Ah, after all these years, hearing the campus belle Lin’s voice again—so happy.”

“Class monitor, sorry, but I really can’t give up my wife to you.”

“Campus belle Lin, please, scold us a few more times!”

“You boys never stop, you’re going to scare the campus belle Lin away!”

Whether she was scared off or not, Yes didn’t know. He was still waiting, but it seemed like she really wasn’t planning to come out again.

Just as Yes was about to give up, his phone made a coughing sound.

“Someone added me as a friend?”

The person who added him was ‘Autumn Water Beauty’.

And the note was: Mighty and Strong.

“No way, really?”

“Are you Lin Qiuyi?”

He waited a long time with no reply.

“If you don’t say something, do you believe I’ll delete you?”

Faced with his threat, she remained unmoved—still no reply.

That familiar feeling—no need to ask, it had to be Lin Qiuyi. She knew he wouldn’t delete her.

And he really wouldn’t.

Watching the boys in the class group wailing and begging Lin Qiuyi to come out and scold them, Yes was in a great mood.

“Yes, why didn’t you say anything just now?”

“What else? I’m not interested. They don’t want to listen, and I don’t want to talk.”

A private message from Olivia Bennett, sounding a bit angry.

“I even rolled out the red carpet for you, and you, the main character, didn’t show up!”

“Red carpet? What red carpet?”

“University of Washington! Uncle and Auntie and my parents are still celebrating. Just now, Uncle and Auntie were showing everyone in the neighborhood the photo of your offer letter from the University of Washington, telling everyone they met. They’re so happy.”

“Really? As long as they’re happy.”
