“One~ two~ three~ four, one two~ three four, one two three~ four.”
After dinner, the three of them, their bellies round and full, went out for a walk. By this time, Li Shiya had already checked out of the room and turned back into Sichuan Girl.
On the playground, everywhere were freshmen in camouflage uniforms undergoing military training, while quite a few upperclassmen stood around watching.
That was how people were—watching others suffer the same hardships they had once endured always brought a strange kind of joy, especially when they themselves were at ease.
The three of them were no exception. After eating, with nothing else to do, they came out to stroll around. After all, that run under the setting sun had been their fleeting youth.
Nonsense—truth was, they were just digesting their food while entertaining themselves a little.
“Sichuan Girl, how’s your account doing lately?” In the shade of a tree, Lin Mo asked.
“Not bad. These past two days I haven’t updated or streamed, so the fan growth’s been a bit slow. Still haven’t reached eight hundred thousand.
Luckily, I shot some stuff today, otherwise I’d be afraid of suddenly losing popularity.”
Li Chuan was also a bit helpless. With the new semester starting, he was feeling somewhat passive.
“Ah, I really envy you two. Both of you have things going on. Compared to you, I feel like I’m just wasting my time!” Wang Chu looked a little down.
After all, their dorm originally had four people. One had already gone to work outside and wasn’t coming back. One had started doing self-media with a career of his own. Even Lin Mo, who seemed idle, actually lived in an orderly way—if he wasn’t exercising, he was reading in the library. Now he was even doing official errands. It felt like only he himself was doing nothing, and on top of that, he had just been rejected by the girl he liked.
Though he had decided to give up and looked as if he had returned to normal, the pain in his heart was something only he himself knew.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have immediately called Sichuan Girl to back him up after seeing Zhao Tingting reject him and then get along warmly with another guy.
To put it bluntly, this was just the fragile self-esteem of young men at work. Even if you rejected me, I still didn’t want you to look down on me.
“In this society, you’ve seen people drop dead from overwork, but have you seen anyone starve to death from not working?
As long as you can find happiness in wasting time, then it isn’t really wasting time.
As for feelings, they’ll come eventually. Slowly. If it’s not Zhao Tingting, there will still be Wang Tingting and Li Tingting.”
Lin Mo patted Wang Chu’s shoulder, comforting him.
Both he and Sichuan Girl had been witnesses to Wang Chu’s rejection, so naturally they knew he was feeling low lately. Otherwise, Sichuan Girl wouldn’t have turned into Li Shiya just to back him up.
In the dorm, the most sensitive was Old Zhao. But his inner core was strong, and his execution was solid. Next was Wang Chu. Lin Mo ranked third. As for Sichuan Girl—this guy was just carefree.
Hearing this, Wang Chu smiled and nodded without speaking, but from the expression on his face, he was clearly much more at ease.
As the freshmen’s military training ended for the day, the three of them also returned to the dorm.
Wang Chu helped Sichuan Girl edit today’s material. As computer science majors, this kind of technical learning wasn’t difficult, especially with Sichuan Girl teaching by the side.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo received a prescription from Professor Li: Polygonatum wine, Huangshi, Cimicifuga, Cornus… a long string of medicinal names.
Lin Mo quickly expressed his thanks. After all, this prescription had been written specifically for his condition. He planned to find time to get the medicine prepared and drink it for a while.
He didn’t know about other traditional Chinese doctors, but Professor Li definitely had skill. The moment he felt his pulse, he had seen through his condition.
‘Ding.’
Suddenly, his phone vibrated with a text message—his bank card had just received a deposit of 400,000 yuan. Right away, he knew this was Miss Yuan’s final payment.
But 400,000 was clearly more than the auction price. Just as he was stunned, Miss Yuan’s call came through.
Lin Mo glanced at the two working inside, then got up and went outside.
“Hello, did you receive the money?”
As soon as the call connected, Miss Yuan’s voice came through.
“I did, Sister Yuan, but isn’t it a bit more than expected? I remember the auction price was—”
“I rounded it up for you. That’s settled. Don’t worry—you might have made a little profit, but your sister never loses.
As for Liu Rushuang, you can ask for more from her. That woman’s filthy rich, no need to save her any money.”
At this, Lin Mo couldn’t help but laugh. As expected, Miss Yuan and Empress Rushuang were indeed rivals. Even on such a small matter, she still reminded him.
The two chatted casually for a bit more, and then Miss Yuan sent him a game invite. Lin Mo thought about it, then agreed to log in and play for a while.
After all, the patron had just wired him 400,000 yuan—he had to give her this bit of face.
Very soon, in the game, Yongjie’s Trident reunited once again.
During the match, he asked Zhang Wei about the recent situation at the company and how his Douyin account was doing. The two of them hadn’t been in contact since he resigned.
Zhang Wei let out a sigh and said he was preparing to sell the account, mainly because he really had no talent for making short videos.
As for the company, there hadn’t been much change for the grassroots employees like them. It was just that a few team leaders under the managers had left, because Liu Rushuang had begun making adjustments to the company’s system.
Some who had no ability, or were slightly less capable, naturally got removed. On the contrary, Fatty Dong had been working diligently lately, which made others change their view of him. At the very least, he now greeted everyone with a smile, his face full of wrinkles from it.
Meanwhile, Miss Yuan complained that the company was boring these days. Now when she went to work, all she did was play games in Liu Rushuang’s office, and she didn’t even feel like doing her job anymore.
The three of them played games until 11 at night. With his skills, the three managed to rank up a tier.
After finishing, Lin Mo washed up, got into bed, and couldn’t help but feel thrilled as he looked at the numbers in his mobile bank account.
603,365.4 yuan. The small change in it came from his internship salary and the living expenses his family had given him. On WeChat he had more than forty thousand, of which twenty thousand was transferred by his cousin. The rest was profit from buying gold, and since he hadn’t been spending much lately, it had all been saved up.
Once he sold off the other Angong Niuhuang Pill, he would instantly become a millionaire little rich man. Just thinking about it made him excited.
He immediately sent a WeChat message to Liu Rushuang, telling her that Yuan Meng’s pill had sold for 400,000 yuan, and asked if she wanted one.
At this time, Liu Rushuang was lying on her bed in a sexy camisole nightdress. When she received Lin Mo’s message, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
After thinking for a moment, she threw off her blanket, took a photo of her long legs, and hit send.

“Wuwuwu, sister’s so poor lately. Can I use my legs for a discount?”
Lin Mo: [Photo]
“Sending you this back to cancel it out. Even if you strip, the price is still the same!”
Liu Rushuang: [Flirty Emoji]
“Cancel it out? Open video, sister adds 200.”
Lin Mo: [Photo]
“Already screenshotted, sent to my cousin!”
Liu Rushuang: [60” Voice Message]
Lin Mo: …
In the end, the two agreed on the transaction. She said she would notify him in advance before coming over to pick it up.
Soon after, the shopping page refreshed.
