Chapter 230: Chapter 148 Chat_3

Lin Wu said, "The truth of the story is this: C bribed B, and the two of them put on a joint act to make A lose all hope in love, leading to his constant melancholy, and ultimately, C successfully won him over."

Shana slowly nodded her head, making sense of it all. In that case, the story could explain why C couldn’t pursue A without putting in some effort.

Shana asked, "How do you know about this? It’s a private matter between the three of them. Are you A, B, or C?"

Lin Wu didn’t rush to answer but countered, "Which one do you think I am?"

After pondering for a while, Shana said, "The story is set up with C arranging for B to seduce A, then leading A to despair. B didn’t actually date anyone, so you must be B, the one who sold himself out for money."

Lin Wu said, "Wrong! The real truth is that both A and C were my roommates. At that time, I was busy dating and studying for various certifications under my girlfriend’s urging, so I didn’t know much about the situation. I was stunned every time there was a plot twist."

Shana asked, "Why did you bring up this story?"

Lin Wu answered, "Chatting, you blockhead, chatting, get it? Don’t you care about your roommates’ gossip when you’re in college?"

Shana answered, "I live in a studio apartment, without roommates."

"Enough talk, back to reading."

Shana said, "Speaking of which, how did you get together with your second girlfriend?"

While reading, Lin Wu replied, "She was my senior, one year ahead of me. We both belonged to the literature club. I joined purely out of laziness, which made me the laggard of the club. Unfortunately for her, she ended up being the person who helped me improve. She came from a distinguished background and rarely interacted deeply with someone like me, yet she was so curious that she... Maybe she knew we shouldn’t have got together, which is why she pushed me to strive for better."

Shana asked, "And then?"

Lin Wu said, "Things went pretty well after that, or we wouldn’t have been able to get married in the game."

Shana was greatly surprised, "Who is it?"

Lin Wu, "You don’t know her."

Shana, "North Town is only so big."

Lin Wu said, "A chance encounter in Waste City."

Shana nodded, "I see."

Casually, Lin Wu asked, "What about you?"

Shana thought for a long time and then shook her head, "I’ve been in love three times, but never seriously."

"Don’t understand." Is a casual relationship ever serious?

Shana explained, "I dated for the sake of dating; none of them were people I liked. During high school, it was peer pressure, in college, it was a way to cope with feeling down when away from home, or the pursuit from a colleague in the Fortress. They had one thing in common: they were all very outstanding individuals. This made it impossible for me to convince myself to say no. It was like a multiple-choice question, leaving it blank or guessing; maybe you’ll get it right. About a month in, I felt nothing akin to love, no anticipation for dates. If there is no affection, there’s just no affection; I even resisted holding hands."

Lin Wu said, "I’m different from you. If a pretty girl is willing to hold my hand or go further, I wouldn’t resist. If the police didn’t consider that illegal, I’d even be willing to pay."

Shana laughed loudly, grabbed a book, and threw it at him, which Lin Wu caught with one hand and tossed back to her.

At that moment, a red dot appeared on the base’s map, indicating someone was very close to the base’s safe zone. They immediately grabbed their weapons and went on alert, and soon the system alarmed, stating that the person had entered the base’s safe zone.

"It’s cold outside, may I come in to warm up by the fire?" a woman’s voice called from outside.

Leaning against the wall, Lin Wu asked, "Blood Meng?"

"Indeed, little brother, it’s me."

"Come in."
