Tang Di revealed a hint of surprise.
"I remember you weren't so reserved online."
Tang Di said with a half-smile.
Wang Yue's face turned red. He had seen Chen Ke's chat logs with Tang Di, and they were indeed very explicit.
Things like "husband kissy," "husband huggy."
"Wife kissy," "wife huggy."
It was simply unbearable to look at.
He had never been so mushy in his previous life.
At this moment, Tang Di added, "Oh right, I brought a girlfriend along. She was worried about me traveling this far, so she insisted on coming. You don't mind, do you?"
Wang Yue quickly shook his head. "No, I don't."
He even felt relieved. Having a third wheel along was good; it would make him less awkward.
Wang Yue thought that since Tang Di brought a girlfriend, he could also call Chen Ke over. That way, the four of them would be even less awkward.
Hearing Wang Yue's words, Tang Di waved towards the station.
Then, a plump girl wearing glasses trotted over.
The plump girl was wearing a floral dress and was dressed quite cutely. It was just that her face was average, making her look a bit rustic.
"You... hello."
Seeing Wang Yue, the plump girl's face lit up with excitement. She quickly bowed deeply.
"Hello."
Wang Yue smiled and nodded.
The plump girl turned her head and excitedly said to Tang Di, "He's really just like his photos!"
Tang Di chuckled, "Don't get so excited just because you see a handsome guy, it's embarrassing."
"I... my name is Liu Yushi."
The plump girl said, still excited.
"Where are we going now?"
Wang Yue asked.
Tang Di stared at Wang Yue, "Aren't you the host? Why are you asking us?"
"That's true."
Wang Yue nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go eat something first. You must be hungry."
There wasn't much else in the small city.
But there was plenty of good food.
As they walked, Wang Yue and Tang Di chatted idly, without much enthusiasm. In contrast, the plump girl trailing behind them had quite a few questions.
She was more excited than the two main characters.
Wang Yue took the two to a famous local restaurant.
"Brother Yue, who is that plump girl?"
Wang Yue received a message from Chen Ke.
Chen Ke replied, "She's her girlfriend. I'll tell you to call my brother over later, and then you can come."
Chen Ke quickly replied, "I... I can't!"
Wang Yue replied, "What can't you do? Do you still want to clarify things? I think it's better to clarify things directly, and you can also meet the person you've been longing for."
Chen Ke hesitated for a long time before replying, "Then... alright."
After seeing Chen Ke's reply, Wang Yue said to the two, "My friend will be here shortly. I'll introduce him to you."
Tang Di smiled, "Great."
Liu Yushi also had no objections.
As the dishes arrived, both Tang Di and Liu Yushi couldn't help but start eating. It was evident that they were hungry after their journey.
Before long, Chen Ke arrived nervously.
Tang Di looked up at Chen Ke, who immediately stood straight and said, "Hello... hello, I'm Brother Yue's classmate. My name is Chen Ke."
"Pfft."
Tang Di couldn't help but laugh, "Classmate, why are you so nervous?"
Chen Ke quickly scratched his head and said sheepishly, "I get nervous around beautiful women, please don't mind."
After sitting down, Chen Ke kept stealing glances at Tang Di.
He was truly smitten. Seeing Tang Di up close, her skin was much fairer than in the photos, and every smile and glance captivated him.
Liu Yushi's reaction was similar to Chen Ke's, but she was looking at Wang Yue.
After dinner, Chen Ke suggested going to the amusement park.
No one had any objections.
The amusement park in the small city was an old-fashioned one. There were no roller coasters or anything like that, just some simple rides.
Chen Ke enthusiastically bought four cups of milk tea, one for each person.
Liu Yushi and Tang Di both expressed their thanks for this.
Inside the amusement park.
Chen Ke and Wang Yue walked at the very back.
Chen Ke whispered, "Brother Yue, Tang Di is so beautiful. I like her so much. What should I do?"
Wang Yue rolled his eyes. "Do you think you can like her like this? I'll find an opportunity to clarify things later. You pray for her forgiveness."
Chen Ke wanted to say something but stopped, then sighed, "But she's so beautiful, will she really fall for me?"
"You have to understand, you're the one she was chatting with online. She might not like my looks, but rather your reserved soul."
Wang Yue said.
Chen Ke and Tang Di had been very open in their online chats.
In reality, Tang Di didn't seem like that kind of person at all.
Of course, Chen Ke didn't seem like that either.
Chen Ke spent the entire afternoon trying to please her. Wang Yue had already agreed to clarify the situation before they returned to school that evening.
So, he wanted to leave the best impression on Tang Di, hoping that when the truth was revealed, Tang Di would forgive him based on his sincere feelings.
Everyone had a fun afternoon.
Soon, night fell.
Wang Yue booked a table at Happy Station for dinner.
It had private rooms, perfect for a confession.
Perhaps sensing that a confession was about to happen, the dinner was rather subdued.
Chen Ke hesitated several times, wanting to speak but holding back.
He had lost all his earlier eagerness.
Tang Di seemed to notice Chen Ke's unusual behavior. She asked, "What's wrong, Chen Ke? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Ke immediately shook his head, "No... no, I just have something on my mind."
Tang Di nodded, took a sip of her milk tea, and turned to talk with Liu Yushi.
After dinner, Wang Yue checked the time and thought it was about time.
Just as he was about to speak.
Tang Di spoke.
"Wang Yue, thank you. I had a very happy day today."
Wang Yue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Thank you, me too."
Then Tang Di took a deep breath, a look of determination appearing on her pretty face. She said, "Actually, what I wanted to tell you is, the person who was in an online relationship with you wasn't me, but my girlfriend."
"She's been using my photos, videos, and name to be in an online relationship with you. She knows it was wrong, so this time, I've brought her here to confess. I only hope you can forgive her. She's a very kind girl, really."
Liu Yushi also said in a voice like a mosquito's hum, "I'm sorry. Perhaps I really liked you too much, and I couldn't bring myself to tell you the truth."
Silence.
The atmosphere was dead silent.
Chen Ke's eyes widened, darting between Tang Di and Liu Yushi.
Wang Yue was also stunned for a long time. He almost couldn't maintain his expression. He wanted to laugh, what should he do?!
In the end, Wang Yue couldn't hold it in anymore.
He let out a laugh.
Tang Di and Liu Yushi looked at Wang Yue strangely, not knowing why he was laughing.
After laughing for a while, Wang Yue stopped.
He said seriously, "Actually, I also have something to tell you. The one in the online relationship with Liu Yushi wasn't me, but my companion here, classmate Chen Ke."
"The situation is exactly as you described."
