Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 274 - 272: Online Love is Untrustworthy

"Macho man?" Xue Yang glanced him up and down.

Cui Hao might not be handsome, but he definitely had nothing to do with being a macho man.

"Don’t look at me like that. I may not have muscles now, but I’m sure I can build them within a semester."

Xue Yang asked in surprise, "You’re going to build muscle?"

He was a bit curious now. What kind of magic did Cui Hao’s online girlfriend possess to make him abandon his lazy ways and start thinking about building muscle?

"Yeah, not just muscles, but abs too. Let me tell you, girls love muscles and abs. You might be handsome, but if you don’t have them, those girls will lose interest in you fast."

"You do you. I don’t need them."

Cui Hao didn’t take it to heart and just kept snickering foolishly, "Heh heh heh..."

"So, you’re really in an online relationship?"

"Yeah."

Since it was real this time, Cui Hao didn’t want to hide it anymore.

"Planning to meet up during the summer break?"

"Yeah."

"I’ll say it again: don’t get scammed. The internet is full of truth and lies. Until you’ve confirmed her real identity, I suggest you don’t get too emotionally invested. Otherwise, you might get scammed out of everything, even your underwear. If you come to me for a loan then, I definitely won’t give you one."

"That won’t happen. Bai Yueguang would never scam me. We’ve had voice calls already; her voice is so lovely. Every time I hear it, my legs go weak."

Xue Yang’s mouth twitched fiercely. His legs go weak? Really?

"Her name is Bai Yueguang?"

"That’s her username. I don’t know her real name yet, but she promised she’d tell me when we meet during the summer break. I can’t wait for summer to get here. By then..."

Cui Hao pictured the scene of him meeting Bai Yueguang, just the two of them under a quiet night sky...

Summer, huh? He and Lin Xi had made a promise, too. They would officially be together once her college entrance exam results were out. He’d been intentionally or unintentionally ignoring the subject. It wasn’t that he was worried about himself, but... he just wasn’t ready yet. In his nearly twenty years of life, he had only ever liked two girls. The first was Chen Ying. Before meeting Lin Xi, his life consisted of nothing but Chen Ying and his studies. His feelings for Chen Ying were simple; he never thought of anything more. Later, after her rejections left him disheartened, he met Lin Xi. At first, he didn’t actually like Lin Xi, either. His feelings grew slowly as they spent more time together. When he first started to like her, he wasn’t in any hurry, but that girl seemed even more eager than he was.

Thinking of her impatient demeanor, a gentle smile appeared on Xue Yang’s face.

"Heh heh heh..." Cui Hao’s lewd giggle echoed beside him, successfully pulling Xue Yang back to reality.

"..."

To avoid having people think he was friends with an idiot, Xue Yang decided to leave first.

"Junior Brother Xue."

Just as he reached the door, he heard someone call out to him.

Xue Yang turned around and saw Wu Xiaoya jogging toward him.

"Junior Brother Xue, are you heading to the studio?"

"Yeah, I am."

"I don’t have classes this afternoon either. Let’s go together."

"Okay."

Wu Xiaoya left the cafeteria with Xue Yang, carrying a stack of documents.

"Isn’t that Wu Xiaoya? Why is she walking with Xue Yang? Don’t tell me they’re together now?"

"Looks like it. Xue Yang has never been seen walking alone with a girl on campus. He’s always with Cui Hao. For him to suddenly be walking with Wu Xiaoya, what else could it be but them being a couple?"

Wu Xiaoya’s roommates, Su Jinfeng and Li Zhaodi, stood to one side with Chen Ying. Wen Yan was there as well. Upon hearing the gossip, Su Jinfeng glanced at Chen Ying and retorted, "Don’t spread baseless rumors. Xiao Ya works at Xue Yang’s studio. There’s nothing going on between them."

"Xue Yang’s studio?"

"Yeah. That super popular game you’ve all been playing lately? His studio made it."

"A super popular game? You don’t mean... King’s Game, do you?"

"That’s the one! King’s Game! Doesn’t the character Daji look familiar to you?"

Everyone’s gaze shifted to Chen Ying. They hadn’t looked at her so closely before, but now that the comparison was made, the resemblance between her and the game character Daji was a perfect match.

A chorus of sharp inhalations went through the crowd.

"It really is true."

"Daji and Campus Belle Chen look exactly alike! No, wait, Campus Belle Chen is much prettier than Daji. That Xue Yang is really something else, using a method like this to confess to Senior Sister Chen. His confession tactics are truly endless."

Obviously, everyone had mistaken this for another one of Xue Yang’s attempts to woo Chen Ying. He used to make grand gestures, all of which Chen Ying rejected, so this time he was trying a more subtle approach.

"That guy is a genius. If I had that many ideas, I wouldn’t have to worry about failing to win over my dream girl."

Wait a minute... They just said... that game was made by Xue Yang’s studio. That means... the new game that kept them company all winter break was actually made by Xue Yang and his team? For real? If this had come from anyone else, it would have sounded like a tall tale. But coming from Su Jinfeng, it was different. Why? Because she was Campus Belle Chen’s roommate. More importantly, Campus Belle Chen was standing right there with her. And most crucially of all, Campus Belle Chen had just nodded. That meant Xue Yang really had opened a studio, and by the looks of it, it was doing quite well. But wasn’t Xue Yang already the brand ambassador for the trendsetting clothing brand? Where would he find the time to run a studio? If it was true, this guy was way too amazing.

Getting accepted into Yanbei University meant stepping into another league. With all the nation’s top talents gathered there, the competition was fierce. This led some students to worry about finding a good job after graduation.

Then there were arrogant people like Xue Yang. They passed up high-paying jobs to dive into the world of startups, though the results were often predictable. More than half of them were washed up and left for dead on the beach, forced to look for their next opportunity while still in school. Some tried and failed again and again. In the end, they still failed.

Of course, there were also success stories. Rumor had it that the last successful entrepreneur, a senior alumnus, had already made it onto the Forbes list. The key point was his age—he was only three years ahead of Xue Yang, which just went to show how incredible he was.

Everyone thought a legend like that was a once-in-a-generation event. But now, it seemed like the miracle was about to happen again.
