How Come No One Believes the Truth These Days?

The two of them chatted sweetly for another ten-odd minutes before Su Lexuan suddenly typed out a complaint.

"Shen Lang~ My roommates and besties have been driving me crazy these past few days. They keep telling me to bring you over for them to see, saying they want to help me check you out. {Aggrieved}"

Seeing that aggrieved sticker, Shen Lang nearly misunderstood what Su Lexuan meant. He thought she did not want him meeting her besties and roommates.

If a girl really had a boyfriend and truly liked him, there was no way she would keep him hidden away.

When a couple had just made their relationship official, the girl would usually be eager to introduce her boyfriend to her other friends and receive their blessings.

Guys, take note: if your girlfriend was unwilling to publicly introduce you as her boyfriend in her social circle or in front of her friends—

There were two possible reasons.

1: Your overall qualities had not yet reached her standards. She was only getting together with you for now, planning to make your relationship public once your circumstances improved.

2: Even if she had made the relationship official with you, there was absolutely no place for you in her heart. She might even find it embarrassing to introduce you to her other friends!

As for Su Lexuan's aggrieved sticker, she was naturally testing Shen Lang's willingness.

"If they want to see me, then I'll let them see me."

Shen Lang replied generously, "It's not like I'm too ashamed to be seen. As long as you're free, I can come find you anytime."

"Really?"

Su Lexuan quickly replied, "Then after military training ends, let's treat them to a meal. That way, those guys will stop making snide remarks every day."

"Sure. I'll arrange it when the time comes. Just bring them along."

"Okay!"

"Oh right, Shen Lang, give me your address. A few days ago, I saw a really nice necklace on Douyin. How about I buy you the silver one, and you buy me the pink one?"

"No problem. Send me the link and your address."

"Mm, I sent it to you. That's it for now, I'm going to take a shower. Having a Band-Aid stuck on feels so uncomfortable."

The moment Su Lexuan sent that message, she immediately withdrew it. "Did you see it?"

The Band-Aid trick had also been passed down by senior students over the years.

After all, they had to exercise intensely for more than ten days straight, and the fabric of the green uniforms was rather rough. It often rubbed against them during exercise, which was both awkward and uncomfortable for girls.

That was when the usefulness of Band-Aids showed itself.

1: Didn't see it. What did you withdraw?

2: Send her your address and have her mail the Band-Aids over so you can brew tea with them!

3: Where did you stick the Band-Aid? Could you elaborate?

Shen Lang sent Su Lexuan his delivery address. "This is my address. How many days will it take to arrive?"

I thought he'd seen it.

Seeing the message, Su Lexuan breathed a sigh of relief. She subconsciously tugged at her loose green uniform and typed back, "As for the necklace, I've already placed the order. It should arrive in about three days."

Sleep Till Dawn: "I meant the Band-Aid."

As for the part about brewing tea with it, no matter how perverted Shen Lang was, he was too embarrassed to type that out.

Of course, even flirtatious lines like that had to depend on the timing and the state of the relationship.

Otherwise, the other person would definitely think her boyfriend was too weird and perverted, and her Favorability would drop drastically.

But the two of them had already made out passionately by Nanting Lake for more than ten minutes.

Shen Lang had even touched her with his own hands. Words like that would not make her unhappy; instead, they would only lower her boundaries in that regard.

The next time they went out on a date, when they got carried away, Shen Lang would be able to do even more.

But just those earlier words had already made Su Lexuan blush furiously, and she could not help recalling what Shen Lang had done to her that day by Nanting Lake.

Su Lexuan pouted angrily and sent several tapping stickers in a row. With her face flushed and heart racing, she left him with, "Pervert! I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to shower!"

"Hehe~"

Shen Lang chuckled meaningfully, then opened the necklace link Su Lexuan had sent him. He discovered that what she had bought was not an ordinary necklace, but a couple's necklace.

"What a tsundere. There's nothing wrong with just saying something like that."

Shen Lang shook his head, then bought the pink necklace Su Lexuan had mentioned. An inexplicable sense of accomplishment spread through his heart.

Back in high school, Shen Lang often saw female classmates folding little stars for the boys they liked.

In college, Shen Lang also often saw female classmates buying all kinds of keepsakes for male classmates.

After graduating and staying home, Shen Lang did not dare open his social feed whenever a couples' holiday came around, because it was full of boyfriends showing off the gifts their girlfriends had bought them.

Whenever he consumed that kind of couple content, Shen Lang was as envious as every other single guy.

They also hoped to meet a girl who would give to them and genuinely like them someday.

And right now, Shen Lang had met a girl whose eyes were filled with no one but him.

If it had been the old Shen Lang, socially anxious and introverted, he would never have dared think about something like this.

It was no exaggeration to say that back then, Shen Lang had even felt unworthy of such simple happiness, let alone the Campus Belle of Zhuhai University!

Sometimes, Shen Lang wondered about it.

If he had not taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Su Lexuan when buying chestnuts that day, would the two of them now be complete strangers, people who would never cross paths in their lives?

As the saying went: handsome people had partners, and ugly people had partners.

Only those who cowered inside their own inner worlds truly did not deserve a partner!

Thinking of this, Shen Lang opened the Douyin video Su Lexuan had sent him again, then opened the comments section.

Holy crap, I'm in love! Even such an ugly military training uniform couldn't hide my wife's radiance!

Which university is this? What's this girl's name? Waiting online, pretty urgent!

Replying to the comment above: Zhuhai University. This girl is a freshman named Su Lexuan, still single!

Thinking about such a beautiful girl sleeping with other guys in the future makes me stomp my feet anxiously all the way here in Guangdong!

Still single? Great, this Hunan Wu Yanzu has a chance then. Sorry, everyone!

Looking at the comments these guys had posted, Shen Lang did not feel the slightest bit jealous. He even smugly typed out—

"Why are you all praising her so much? I don't think she's that great. She even bites when she kisses!"

More than ten minutes later, Shen Lang's trolling comment drew quite a few replies from thirsty simps.

After looking around, you're still the best at bragging!

I can prove it—I'm Campus Belle Su Lexuan!

Anyone with diabetes, stay away. Don't let this brat taste sweetness. Those with uremia, go first!

Shen Lang sighed smugly, "Tsk tsk, how come no one believes the truth these days?"
