Bei Bei Gets Dumped

After class, Liu Yuan and the other two ran into Wang Dong'er on their way to the cafeteria. Yet all they heard along the way were her complaints about Zhou Yi.

The resentment in her voice was enough to feed a ghost.

"Alright, calm down." Liu Yuan pointed at the innermost window in the cafeteria. "Come to think of it, I still owe you a feast. Why don't we settle it here?"

"Huh!? You're going to brush me off like that?" Having her attention diverted, Wang Dong'er wrinkled her nose in slight dissatisfaction. "At least get something tasty."

Although the dishes at the last cafeteria window were highly nutritious, as for their flavor...

All that could be said was that, in order to preserve the ingredients' original nutrition, the food tasted rather ordinary.

"Oh? You want something delicious?"

"What a surprise."

Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes.

"Don't tell me you don't like good food."

"Of course I do."

With a grin, Liu Yuan patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. "How about letting my little brother show you what he can do?"

"Your little brother?"

Wang Dong'er glanced at the bashful Huo Yuhao.

"Can he manage it?"

"He can do more than manage. Right?"

To be honest, that grilled fish... urged on by his appetite, Liu Yuan was genuinely craving it.

"It's only edible."

Receiving such praise, Huo Yuhao remained modest.

But after that, Xiao Xiao refused to be outdone and immediately described just how delicious Huo Yuhao's grilled fish was to Wang Dong'er, successfully whetting the latter's appetite.

So, after a brief discussion,

Liu Yuan made the call: they would grill fish by Sea God Lake.

"You call this 'only edible'!?"

Wang Dong'er took a bite of the grilled fish.

Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Then she began wolfing it down, completely unconcerned as her face was soon smeared with grease.

Chew, chew, chew...

How could grilled fish be this delicious?

"Well? My little brother's skills aren't bad, right?"

Seeing Wang Dong'er spit out a fish bone, Liu Yuan looked at the half-eaten grilled fish still in his own hand. "Slow down. No one's competing with you for it."

Who would have thought,

Wang Dong'er kept chewing as she pointed with one hand.

Following the direction of her finger, he saw Xiao Xiao squatting beside the grill, with wooden skewers piled all over the ground.

This masterpiece...

The two girls truly gave each other a run for their money.

But just then, "Sob... sob..."

A faint sound of choking sobs

made all four of them stop moving their hands and mouths.

Wang Dong'er tucked the hair by her cheek behind her ear.

"Did you hear something?"

Huo Yuhao was uncertain. "It sounded like someone crying?"

"Not sounded like."

Liu Yuan spoke with certainty, looking in the direction of the sound. "It was crying."

Just then,

"Brothers, are you grilling here?"

A voice suddenly came from nearby.

A figure pushed through the bushes. Seeing a group of new students seated there, he said, "Four juniors, do you have any alcohol?"

The newcomer was a sixth-year student. He had thick brows, fierce eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth—quite a handsome figure.

Liu Yuan placed a hand on his Storage Soul Tool. A flash of white light passed, and a bottle appeared in his hand. "No alcohol, but we have juice. Would you like some, Senior?"

"Ah—"

The black-clad young man waved his hand.

"Juice won't help. My brother got dumped by his girlfriend, so he wants to drown his sorrows."

But before he could finish,

"Xu Sanshi!"

An angry roar came from the other side of the woods.

The next second, another figure emerged, his face filled with anger. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Oh!"

Xu Sanshi ignored the newcomer's furious expression and simply hooked an arm around his neck, teasing him as he spoke. "My Bei Bei isn't crying anymore?"

"Get lost! Who was crying!?"

In his panic, he blurted out the wrong words.

But once he realized it, Bei Bei quickly spat to the side. "Are you asking for a beating or something?!"

The moment those words fell...

"Senior Bei?"

Liu Yuan recognized that familiar figure at once.

He had not expected to run into him here today.

But when he saw Bei Bei's reddened eyes and considered what Xu Sanshi had said, a thought suddenly arose in Liu Yuan's mind: Could Bei Bei have been dumped by Tang Ya? But was that even possible?

Hearing Liu Yuan's voice, Bei Bei, who had just been about to settle accounts with the big-mouthed Xu Sanshi, finally noticed them.

He quickly shook off Xu Sanshi's arm. "Brother Liu, Little Huo, so it was you."

"Oh?"

Xu Sanshi realized they were acquaintances.

Just then, Huo Yuhao asked:

"Senior Bei, what happened to you?"

"Sigh—" At the mention of this, Bei Bei first let out a mournful sigh, then a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"It's not something I can't talk about... Xiao Ya dumped me. The two of us broke up!"

Whoa—

At that moment, all four of Liu Yuan's group leaned back.

They had stumbled upon some serious gossip today!

Then, Bei Bei told them what had happened.

Not long after they returned to Shrek Academy, Tang Ya, who had been in a cold war with Bei Bei, proposed breaking up. At the same time, she submitted an application to withdraw from Shrek Academy, cutting off every last hope Bei Bei had.

From then on, they would go their separate ways and have nothing more to do with each other.

So Bei Bei was miserable!

Liu Yuan: "..."

No wonder he had always heard that Bei Bei was in a bad mood whenever he asked about him. So he had broken up.

But...

Liu Yuan suddenly thought of something, and his brow furrowed.

Did this mean Tang Ya had gone to Heaven Dou City for revenge, and would most likely become an Evil Soul Master?

If that was truly the case,

then she could not blame him for showing no mercy in the future.

"Senior Bei Bei is so pitiful."

Just then, Huo Yuhao suddenly said this.

Liu Yuan: ???

What was so pitiful about that?

It was not like he had been cuckolded. Their relationship had simply fallen apart, and they had broken up normally.

Besides, Bei Bei's current situation was different from the original timeline.

In the original timeline, Tang Ya had disappeared without breaking up with him, so Bei Bei remained devoted and waited stubbornly. But now, their breakup left Bei Bei unbound. Perhaps in a month or two, the pain would fade, and he would start seeing someone else.

Just then,

the heartbroken Bei Bei suddenly rose to his feet!

"I need to vent!" he roared.

"Damn!"

At those words, Xu Sanshi sprang up in panic and clapped a hand over his mouth. "Bei Bei! Don't you go corrupting the juniors! If you really want to vent, I'll take you into the city and arrange something right away."

As he spoke, he gestured meaningfully at Liu Yuan and the other three.

Making it clear they should not listen to anything improper.

"Get lost!"

Xu Sanshi's joking instantly turned Bei Bei's sorrow into laughing curses. "I meant I'm going to vent at the Soul Fighting Arena! Sanshi, come fight me at the Soul Fighting Arena!"

"Are you coming or not!?"

"Why wouldn't I?!"

Xu Sanshi pounded his chest and gave his word.

"I'm with you!"
