Chapter 177: The Meeting of the Two Strategists
Soon, at the school's back gate, outside the Chengyue Community, an odd scene appeared: the small five-person squad had been forced to split into two groups.
In front, four people — two men and two women — ran along the roadside in a straight single-file line, jogging at full speed.
Behind them was a single boy, carrying a humanoid-wrapped package on his shoulder as he desperately chased after them.
Since that was the case, everyone might as well die together — after all, there were still two men in the front group; if they could break through, outsiders who saw them wouldn’t know whose thing it was. If they were to die, everyone would die together!
Yes, that was the final plan Sichuan Girl came up with after losing control: a mutual doom scheme!
But as friends who had shared the same dorm for three years, Lin Mo and Wang Chu could not possibly not see through her idea; they immediately called the two girls to run.
“Hey, what are you running for? Stop — let me stick it on!”
Carrying the humanoid-wrapped package behind them, Sichuan Girl fought with more ferocity than when Wang Chu once wielded a toilet plunger — especially toward men.
Unlike a mop smeared with dung that resembled Lü Bu incarnate, her current state produced almost no physical damage; it was all psychological assault.
If one got entangled with that, Lin Mo and Wang Chu felt they might have lifelong trauma.
“You’re still shouting? Do you want everyone to know? Go back, I beg you, don’t chase!” Lin Mo shouted loudly.
Although he was confident Sichuan Girl could not catch up, he was afraid she would smash that thing against his dorm door.
“Everyone die, die for me!”
Watching Sichuan Girl scream wildly behind them, the four quickened their pace and soon reached the intersection between the two buildings.
The four of them ran straight into the unit entrance. Luckily the elevator was on the first floor; they opened the elevator, all dove in at once, and only breathed a sigh of relief the moment the elevator doors shut.
Lin Mo: “Pfft! Haha”
Wang Chu: “Sichuan Girl really suffered social death this time!”
He Xiaoyue: “Do you think what she bought was inflatable or not?”
Wang Jing: “Does it matter? Whether it is or not, it already happened.”
Once relaxed in the elevator, the four burst out laughing, and Class Monitor Wang Jing’s remark won unanimous agreement from the others.
As for what Sichuan Girl had bought, it wasn’t anything weird — just ordinary women’s clothing. But she had found that occasionally the clothes arrived intentionally dirtied.
She had even heard online that some perverts specially targeted such women’s garments for unspeakable acts. Although Sichuan Girl was male by appearance, she still felt disgusted, so she chose secret delivery.
Unexpectedly, the secrecy was real, and the social death was real too.
But she could not open the package in front of everyone yet — if the women’s clothing inside were exposed, the sky would fall. Compared with that, she would rather have people assume she had bought an inflatable product.
Experiencing social death twice in one day — one had to admit Sichuan Girl had a bit of luck, and moreover great stress resistance.
If it had been Lin Mo, he would have lost all face long ago — how could he still be so lively, running madly across the community carrying a suspected inflatable?
Soon the four went upstairs, and Lin Mo fetched slippers for everyone.
“Wow~~ your place is so big, and the decoration is so nice — the rent must be high!”
“Of course, this is where our school’s notorious rich and handsome guy lives — Lin the handsome, okay!” Wang Jing laughed.
Although Lin Mo had explained in an interview with the Jiangning Daily that he came from an ordinary family, Wang Jing, as an acquaintance, knew a little more.
She might not trust her own eye, but she could not distrust Zhao Tingting’s ability to spot a rich second-generation. If even Zhao Tingting had taken notice, there was no way his family background was ordinary.
“Also, where’s the bathroom? I need to go.” He Xiaoyue said.
On hearing that, Lin Mo pointed it out to her, then handed everyone some water and went to the kitchen to cut some fruit.
Soon He Xiaoyue came out of the bathroom and, seeing Wang Chu and Wang Jing wandering in the living room, she turned into the kitchen and teased in a low voice:
“Hey, and you said she wasn’t his girlfriend — I saw female toiletries in the bathroom, and there was long hair on the comb. Exposed, right? Still stubborn, huh?”
Lin Mo paused mid-cut as he was slicing the watermelon, then gave up any thought of resisting. The owner hadn’t noticed yet, but others had discovered it first — what was that? The more one looked, the blacker it got?
“No, you women are all detectives, don’t you? Besides, was that put there for you to see? Just look!”
“That’s because my eyes are sharp, okay? They’re already dating, yet he still acts macho — why not just admit it? You’re treating her to this meal anyway, it’s not a loss. We’re helping you!” He Xiaoyue patted Lin Mo’s shoulder with a proud smile.
Lin Mo had no desire to explain — what was the point? Was he supposed to say the thing was deliberately placed there?
Seeing his expression, He Xiaoyue took it as tacit consent and suddenly shifted tone: “Male strategist, now I, on behalf of the female strategist, will speak to you!”
“Oh? May I ask what instructions the female strategist had?” Lin Mo laughed.
Earlier downstairs, when He Xiaoyue had signaled him with her eyes, he had known it would not be simple. Sure enough, the serious matter had arrived.
“Ha~ you knew it, I told you I wasn’t wrong.” Hearing this, He Xiaoyue knew Lin Mo had seen through her roommate Wang Jing’s feelings and continued:
“You’re the strategist for the guy — are you going to manage their situation or not? If you don’t, I’ll quit!”
Lin Mo shrugged both hands: “How could I manage it? With Wang Chu’s temperament, unless I plainly told him.”
He Xiaoyue: “That won’t do! You have to create chances for them to be alone in daily life, like going out to play, so their feelings can warm up!”
Lin Mo: “Or what? Should Sichuan Girl and I tie Wang Chu up and stuff him into the class monitor’s bed?”
He Xiaoyue: “No, I meant ordinary private moments in daily life, like going out together, so their relationship could deepen!”
Lin Mo: “And then? With Wang Chu’s personality — think about it. He liked Zhao Tingting so much and waited three years without confessing. Why not have the class monitor directly state her feelings?”
He Xiaoyue: “That won’t do — we are girls; we should be modest, okay?”
“This is no good, that is no good — did you come all this way just to take a dump?” Lin Mo frowned.
He Xiaoyue answered with a punch: “Screw you, you’re the one who came to take a dump! No, you still have to think of some plans. In a few days it’ll be October 1st, then the short holiday. After the break, there’s the autumn recruitment in just a few days. If they haven’t progressed by then, they’ll miss their chance.
By the way, did Wang Bo say where he wanted to go? Did he want to return to his hometown or stay in Jiangning to develop?”
“He would probably stay in Jiangning first,” Lin Mo thought about Wang Chu’s plan to act as Sichuan Girl’s behind-the-scenes support and answered.
“That’s good. Wang Jing also planned to stay in Jiangning for now. If that didn’t work, have them go to a company interview together, or you find a way to matchmake them?” He Xiaoyue suggested.
Lin Mo: “I’ll try my best.”
After saying that, Lin Mo carried the cut watermelon out of the kitchen and said, “Come on, eat some fruit.”
“Thanks, trouble for you, Lin the handsome.” Class Monitor Wang Jing smiled.
Lin Mo waved his hand and then asked, “By the way, the October 1st holiday is coming soon. Class monitor, do you have any plans?”
“Plans? Not really, but I did want to go out for a trip — I just don’t know where! How about you?” As she spoke, Class Monitor Wang Jing glanced at Wang Chu.
Lin Mo: “I was from South City, it was close, so I would definitely go home. Wang Chu, how about you? I remember your hometown had nice scenery; if push came to shove you could take the class monitor there for a visit — you’d have company!”
Hearing this, He Xiaoyue couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up on the side; consulting with the male strategist was really effective.
But in the next second, Wang Chu reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a pair of plastic cups and said:
“I asked Mazu; she gave me six holy cups and forbade me from going home on October 1st. I talked it over with my family — my dad bluntly said if I dared go back he’d break my dog legs; my mom was afraid I’d get hit by a car and die. It’s better not to go!”
