In the WeChat chat window.
An avatar he hadn't seen in ages appeared, making Lin Mo's heart jolt as though he'd been struck by electricity!
The person messaging him was his first girlfriend, whom he'd once loved deeply for four years!
Scenes from the past flashed through Lin Mo's mind.
"Lin Mo, how dare you sneak a look at another girl! Your punishment is to buy me a lipstick. Hmph! Otherwise, I'm not talking to you!"
"Lin Mo, that new iPhone is so nice! All my roommates have one. Buy me one too! If you do, I'll let you kiss me once. Hehe!"
"It's Senior Han Feng's birthday tomorrow. Lin Mo, send me five hundred yuan. I want to buy him a present! Everyone else is giving him something, so it'd look bad if I didn't! You understand, right, Lin Mo? I just don't want to lose face!"
"Su Yingxia!"
As he thought of his first girlfriend, Lin Mo's eyes grew bloodshot.
Was it because he couldn't let go?
No. It was hatred!
He'd first met Su Yingxia at the freshman welcome party, and they had practically fallen for each other at first sight.
In less than two weeks, they had become a couple.
They had been together for four whole years.
But on the day they graduated from university...
Su Yingxia had suddenly broken up with Lin Mo, saying, "You can't give me the life I want."
No matter how Lin Mo pleaded and begged her to stay, Su Yingxia remained resolute.
Lin Mo had been devastated, spending every day drowning in memories and pain. He'd lost five kilograms in just one week!
It had taken him an entire year to get over that relationship.
Su Yingxia, on the other hand, had gone into a hotel arm in arm with another guy, laughing and chatting, less than three days after their breakup. Lin Mo had seen it with his own eyes!
Throughout their four years at university, Su Yingxia had never let Lin Mo so much as touch her.
Yet she'd gone straight to bed with another man as soon as they got together!
How could Lin Mo not hate her?
Even now, looking back, every aspect of Su Yingxia's treatment of him proved one thing: she'd regarded him as nothing more than an ATM and had never felt the slightest affection for him.
Yet back then, Lin Mo had been completely bewitched by her, loving her to his very bones.
To buy her a phone and satisfy her vanity, he'd worked three jobs in his spare time!
To make her happy, he'd spent his hard-earned wages accompanying her to buy gifts for other guys!
Because she'd said she wanted to visit Sanya over summer break, he'd borrowed money wherever he could. Then she'd said she wanted to bring a close friend along. With too little money to cover everyone, Lin Mo had been forced to give up his own spot to her so-called male best friend!
Remembering all that now, Lin Mo could barely resist slapping himself across the face!
"Fuck, Lin Mo! You really had no self-respect!"
"You goddamn simp!"
So, as he looked at the message Su Yingxia had suddenly sent after more than a year without contact...
Lin Mo didn't rush to reply. Instead, he opened and ordered a late-night meal.
Only then did he leisurely send Su Yingxia a single symbol: "?"
Su Yingxia soon replied.
"Are you seeing anyone?"
Lin Mo: "No."
Even through the screen, Lin Mo could almost feel how smug Su Yingxia must have felt upon seeing his answer.
She surely thought Lin Mo still hadn't gotten over her.
Sure enough, the next second, Su Yingxia said, "Lin Mo, let's get back together!"
"Sure."
Lin Mo agreed without hesitation. "Come over. We'll talk in person."
Su Yingxia hesitated. "Now?"
"It's a little late. How about I come see you tomorrow?"
Lin Mo said, "Then forget it."
"If you can't even show that much sincerity, how can you ask to get back together?"
Su Yingxia grew anxious.
"Are you... still living in the same place?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, wait a little. I'll come over right now."
Setting down his phone, he recalled Su Yingxia's gorgeous face and stunning figure.
Thinking of what would happen shortly, Lin Mo couldn't help feeling hot all over...
He got up and took a shower.
When he came out, his delivery had just arrived.
While eating his late-night meal, Lin Mo browsed the forums on Ning'an University's official website.
In fact, Lin Mo had also graduated from Ning'an University.
His purpose this time was to find out what secret lay behind Ling Xiao and Wang Junjie's rivalry!
He'd only been curious at first.
But to his surprise, he actually uncovered a sensational piece of gossip!
On Ning'an University's confession board...
The campus belle, Xia Wanwan, had posted a message yesterday: "Among all Ning'an University students, whoever reaches level 10 first in Oracle gets to be my boyfriend!"
"Holy shit?"
Lin Mo exclaimed in shock, "Are university students this wild these days?"
"So Wang Junjie and Ling Xiao are competing to reach level 10 first because they both want to be this campus belle Xia Wanwan's boyfriend?"
"Juicy! This is way too juicy!" Lin Mo marveled as he slurped his hot-and-sour noodles.
Even more ridiculous was that over a thousand Ning University students had joined the competition!
"Looks like this campus belle has quite the appeal!"
In his previous life, Lin Mo would definitely have joined the fun as an alumnus and tried pursuing the campus belle.
But having lived his life over again, Lin Mo knew full well that women were the least trustworthy creatures in this world!
"I'm too old for these games. You youngsters have your fun! This old man just wants to make money and get stronger!"
Lin Mo finished his hot-and-sour noodles.
Just then...
Knock, knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
Lin Mo went over and checked the visitor's identity through the peephole.
Creak~
He opened the door.
A beautiful girl with a serene face stood quietly outside, wearing a little yellow camisole and a white skirt.
Beneath her long, lustrous black hair, her small oval face was fair and flawless.
Her starry eyes radiated cool detachment and confidence.
Su Yingxia instinctively brushed back her hair.
"Lin Mo, long time no see!"
Seeing Su Yingxia again, Lin Mo still couldn't help feeling a flutter of attraction.
After all, back at Ning University, Su Yingxia had been beautiful enough to be the belle of her department!
She still took very good care of herself.
Every movement exuded a fresh, refined elegance.
Even standing inside Lin Mo's shabby little rented apartment, she seemed out of place.
Lin Mo stepped back.
"Come in."
As soon as Su Yingxia entered, Lin Mo suddenly locked the door.
Turning around, he pointed at the bed and commanded her without expression, "Take off your clothes and lie down on the bed yourself."
Su Yingxia's eyes widened as she stared at Lin Mo in disbelief. "What did you say?"
"Didn't you want to get back together?" Lin Mo remained expressionless. "Then do as I say."
"Of course, if you've changed your mind, you can still leave now. I won't stop you."
"Lin Mo!" Su Yingxia's face flushed with anger. "What do you take me for? A prostitute who'll sleep with anyone?"
Lin Mo sneered. "Aren't you?"
"You're still the same disgusting loser! Breaking up with you was definitely the right choice!"
Making no attempt to hide the disgust on her face, Su Yingxia stormed out without hesitation!
Lin Mo remained perfectly calm and shut the door with a bang.
Yet less than a minute later, after stepping out only long enough to take a phone call, Su Yingxia returned.
"What's wrong? Changed your mind?" Lin Mo asked with a faint, mocking smile, as though he'd known all along that she would return.
Su Yingxia stared at him in disgust. "If I sleep with you, will you agree to get back together?"
"Yes." Lin Mo's answer was immediate and unequivocal.
"Fine!"
Right in front of Lin Mo, Su Yingxia took off her outer garment...
(1,928 words omitted here. Don't ask why that number. The answer is that the author really wrote them, but can't post them.)
Two hours later.
Lin Mo got dressed, still wanting more.
Meanwhile...
Su Yingxia emerged from the rented apartment and, supporting herself against the wall, finally staggered downstairs.
Her face was full of anger.
"Damn you, Lin Mo! You don't know how to treat a woman gently at all!"
"It hurts so much!"
Just then, her phone rang.
Su Yingxia answered with a frown, and Wang Junjie's voice came through. "How did it go? Did you get it done?"
"Of course!" Su Yingxia sounded thoroughly smug. "Wrapping that loser Lin Mo around my finger was child's play!"
Wang Junjie laughed. "I've transferred the money to your account. You know what to do next, right?"
When she received the notification that one million yuan had arrived, Su Yingxia's face lit up with delight.
The revulsion and disgust she'd felt vanished in an instant.
"Don't worry, Junjie. Just wait for my good news!"
