Ma Long and Jia Xiaoman had average grades and never caused trouble in class, making them practically invisible—like they were living out that song lyric.
In response to Ma Long's question, Jia Xiaoman typed quickly.
'Jia Xiaoman: Isn't that obvious?'
'Jia Xiaoman: Some girls in our class set up a private group on Penguin Software, chatting gossip in anonymous mode every day.'
'Jia Xiaoman: I'm lurking in there too.'
'Jia Xiaoman: After the college entrance exam, Su Yueling went public about dating An Wuyang and showed off hard—bags and jewelry he bought her, all posted on Moments.'
'Jia Xiaoman: Su Yueling's WeChat doesn't add us guys, but she added several girls in the class.'
'Jia Xiaoman: Those girls screenshotted her lovey-dovey Moments and posted them in the private group. Since it's anonymous, everyone just watches the drama without guessing who's who.'

'Jia Xiaoman: See this post? It's tagged at the Raffles Intercontinental Hotel. Look at these screenshots—they clearly got a room there.'
'Jia Xiaoman: If you were An Wuyang and took Su Yueling to the Raffles Intercontinental, would you do nothing?'
'Ma Long: So jealous!'
'Jia Xiaoman: Jealous of what?'
'Jia Xiaoman: Didn't Sun Zhiming say An Wuyang's family went bankrupt?'
'Ma Long: But he still slept with Su Yueling!'
'Jia Xiaoman: Do you like Su Yueling?'
'Ma Long: Everyone loves beauty.'
'Ma Long: Don't you?'
'Jia Xiaoman: I don't!'
'Ma Long: I don't believe you!'
'Jia Xiaoman: I can't sleep with her, so why would I like her?'
'Jia Xiaoman: If I were Sun Zhiming, I'd definitely like her.'
'Ma Long: Sun Zhiming's probably next, right?'
'Ma Long: Those bastards are so lucky!'
The two invisible guys typed away furiously in the corner, gossiping without drawing any attention—after all, they were nobodies.
At six in the evening.
Sun Zhiming walked into the Gantian Lobster Restaurant, feeling a bit disappointed. An Wuyang really hadn't shown up!
But over thirty people from the class came, which satisfied him.
Because Sun Zhiming saw this reunion as a contest with An Wuyang.
He figured that since so many people showed up for his gathering, he naturally had more pull than An Wuyang.
"Thanks everyone for coming to this reunion. In a little over a month, we'll all go our separate ways. I'm honored to have been your classmate, and I wish you all a bright future." Sun Zhiming said loudly.
"Sun-ge, you're the man!" Yang Kai shouted.
That guy was Sun Zhiming's lackey, always backing him up.
"I won't spoil your fun. Hope you all eat well and drink up." Sun Zhiming didn't drag it out—he knew himself well. He was fully aware that most classmates came just because he was treating.
But so what?
He had the money to treat, which made him better than An Wuyang!
After speaking, Sun Zhiming told the staff to start serving, then walked over to Yang Kai's table and sat down.
Just as Sun Zhiming sat, Su Yueling followed him over. Some of the male classmates watched her head toward Sun Zhiming with mixed feelings.
Su Yueling was undeniably pretty—many guys in Class 3-6 had secret crushes on her. Seeing her walk up to Sun Zhiming now made their emotions complicated.
Su Yueling naturally didn't care about what those nobodies thought. She walked boldly to Sun Zhiming's side and spoke up, "Classmate Sun, can I sit here?"
Sun Zhiming raised an eyebrow.
Earlier at the restaurant entrance, he'd vaguely sensed Su Yueling had ulterior motives. Now that she came up to him in public and asked to sit beside him, how could he not understand her intentions?
But was Su Yueling missing something?
Did she think he was like those ordinary guys who had crushes on her?
"Is something the matter, Classmate Su?" Sun Zhiming asked, feigning confusion, hoping she'd back off.
This was both to avoid awkwardness and to give her a chance.
Now it depended on whether she had even a shred of cleverness!
But Sun Zhiming figured Su Yueling probably didn't—otherwise, why would she have broken up with An Wuyang so hastily?
Faced with Sun Zhiming's question, Su Yueling replied gracefully, "I think you're pretty impressive, Classmate Sun. I'd like to get to know you better."
As she spoke, her face was full of confidence.
In Su Yueling's view, being so open and public about her intentions was a sign of sincerity, proving she was genuinely interested in Sun Zhiming.
She was so beautiful and so sincere—how could Sun Zhiming possibly refuse her?
Besides, she had her own little scheme. By openly expressing her interest in Sun Zhiming, she was showing that she was straightforward and honest in her relationships, not some gold-digger chasing wealth.
Just like when she had pursued An Wuyang back then—she had been generous and sincere, and An Wuyang had fallen for her easily.
Now, under the same circumstances, wouldn't Sun Zhiming be just as easy for her to handle?
Unfortunately, Su Yueling was overthinking it!
Or rather, she was underestimating An Wuyang!
Because after she feigned grace and sincerity in expressing her interest in Sun Zhiming, she didn't get a smile from him, nor did she get his agreement.
Sun Zhiming even put on a sour face, staring at Su Yueling and snorting.
"But I don't want to get to know you!" Sun Zhiming refused her bluntly.
Su Yueling hesitated inwardly. She even wondered if Sun Zhiming hadn't seen her breakup post on Moments and still thought she was An Wuyang's girlfriend, which was why he rejected her.
So Su Yueling calmly said, "I've already broken up with An Wuyang now!"
A hint of mockery flashed in Sun Zhiming's eyes. This Su Yueling was truly an idiot—she had no idea where she stood.
If this Su Yueling had been smarter, he might have considered it.
But by approaching him so publicly with her fake cleverness, wasn't she just putting pressure on him?
Sun Zhiming thought of some scenarios in his mind, even imagining An Wuyang mocking him, and he felt his blood pressure spike!
So, facing Su Yueling's claim that she had broken up, he still replied coldly, "Your breakup has nothing to do with me. I have no interest in you at all!"
Faced with Sun Zhiming's blunt rejection, laced with a disdainful desire to distance himself, Su Yueling frowned inwardly. She did want to hook up with Sun Zhiming, but it wasn't like she absolutely had to have him!
So when Sun Zhiming clearly expressed his refusal, even showing disgust, Su Yueling's first priority was to protect her own reputation.
Thus, Su Yueling gave a light snort. "Classmate Sun, are you misunderstanding something?"
Although Su Yueling didn't specify what Sun Zhiming was misunderstanding, this vague statement somehow gave the impression that it explained everything.
