Liang Tian studied Fang Youwei for a long time. Seeing that he really did not seem to be joking, he began seriously considering what he had just said.
"Then once we start dating, can you cut off all those flings around you?"
"Of course. I may like having fun, but I'm very faithful in relationships. Agree to date me now, and I'll immediately delete all those random people from my phone. If you still don't believe me, I'll give you my phone so you can look through it and delete them yourself."
As Fang Youwei spoke, he started taking out his phone to hand it to Liang Tian.
"Since you sound so sincere, I suppose I could give you a chance. Let's give it a try, then. Three months. If I still haven't fallen for you after three months, we'll break up amicably, and neither of us is allowed to bring up what happened before again. Is that okay?"
"Sure. Why wouldn't it be?"
Fang Youwei practically gritted his teeth as he agreed.
To think that he, Young Master Fang, would live to see this day-completely wrapped around someone's finger, without any room to argue.
"Then can we add each other on WeChat? I'm your boyfriend now. It wouldn't make sense not to have you on my friends list, would it?"
Liang Tian thought he had a point and readily added him. The instant the friend request was accepted, Fang Youwei set Liang Tian's contact name to "Wife" and demanded that Liang Tian set his to "Husband."
"Are you trying to back out? This is how everyone labels their contacts when they're dating."
Fang Youwei looked at Liang Tian reproachfully. Utterly helpless against him, Liang Tian could only set his contact name to "Husband," mortified.
"Happy now? I'm going back to campus to study. You can head back on your own."
"No, I'll take you back. You can study at the library, and I can wait beside you. I promise I won't disturb you. Okay?"
"But..."
"Couples spend every moment glued to each other. That's how they grow closer. If you won't let me stay with you, does that mean you were planning to break up after three months right from the start?"
"All right, then. But you have to promise not to make trouble while I'm studying."
"Okay, I promise."
Half an hour later, Su Cimu narrowed his eyes at the extra person beside Liang Tian.
"Xiao Tiantian, don't you owe me an explanation?"
"Ahem, well, this is my boyfriend, Fang Youwei. You've probably met him before."
Liang Tian felt so guilty as he introduced Fang Youwei that he did not dare look Su Cimu in the eye, keeping his head lowered the whole time.
Fang Youwei, meanwhile, looked at Su Cimu with a doting expression.
"Hello, Young Master Su. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Fang Youwei, and I'm Tiantian's boyfriend. We have you to thank for getting together, since you persuaded him to talk things through with me. You're our matchmaker."
Su Cimu nearly coughed up blood when he heard Fang Youwei's words!
"Liang Tian, come outside with me!"
Su Cimu and Liang Tian stood in the corridor outside the library. Su Cimu folded his arms across his chest and looked at him.
"You'd better explain this properly. When I told you to talk things through with Fang Youwei, I wanted you to make a clean break. How did you end up becoming his boyfriend behind my back?"
"Well, when I talked to Fang Youwei, he said he wanted me to take responsibility. He also said he wanted to date me, and that once we were dating, he'd spoil me and listen to me. I figured that sounded pretty good, didn't it? I've never dated anyone anyway, so I might as well give it a try with him... If I still don't feel anything after three months, we'll break up amicably."
Su Cimu rolled his eyes practically to the heavens.
"Are you stupid? He won't even agree to part amicably now, and you expect him to calmly break up with you three months later? How have you not died of stupidity?!"
Su Cimu was about to lose his mind. Fang Youwei had actually stolen his home while he wasn't looking! Sweet, innocent Xiao Tiantian had been tricked and whisked away by Fang Youwei just like that! Damn it, damn it all!
