Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 117 The Beast Is Here
It was already 8:30 p.m. when Lin Mo returned to her cousin Su He's house.

The three of them ate a quick meal, and then Miss Yuan dragged them to an internet cafe to devise their Friday blind date plan 1.0.

That's right, it's a blind date plan, and Miss Yuan herself put it into a PowerPoint presentation.

It's outrageous that someone who has never made a PowerPoint presentation before would create a three-page presentation just for fun.

This also changed the two men's preconceived notions about Miss Yuan. They thought she was just a rich second-generation who was just coasting along, but they didn't expect her to be more proficient in using the software than they were.

Those short, nimble hands clattered across the keyboard, rivaling even the legendary players of Audition Online back in the day.

It showed the two of them what it means to be mediocre, but you can't be truly bad.

Come to think of it, although I don't know which university Miss Yuan attended or what her major was, she is definitely better than him and Zhang Wei, who are at the peak of junior college and the other at the peak of university.

They just come from well-off families and don't need to work. They're not really uneducated. The education they received from childhood is miles ahead of the other two.

"You're back! Have you eaten yet?"

As soon as I opened the door, my cousin asked me something.

"Yeah, I ate out with friends," Lin Mo said as he put the medicine in the refrigerator and left one packet in a bowl to heat with hot water.

"I really don't understand what kind of deal you two made behind my back that you would obediently listen to her and even stay to give her massages until her period is over?" My cousin Su He said with a smile as she placed a plate of fruit on the coffee table.

On the other hand, Liu Ruyan was lying lazily on the sofa, wearing a plain white nightgown and socks, clearly having taken his words to heart.

"Then you should ask him. If he doesn't tell me, I can't bring myself to say it. How can I, a woman, say it? It would be too embarrassing."

Seeing Liu Ruyan's nonchalant attitude, Su He was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She was too embarrassed to say anything, as if she was about to blurt out, "It's all up to Father."

"What, are you planning to live off my cousin from now on? Why don't you just let him stay at your place? It'd be more convenient. The three of us are crammed into this tiny place; it's like living in a cramped apartment."

"I'm fine with it, it depends on whether Xiao Mo wants to come with me. Xiao Mo, my bed is big and soft, do you want to go?" Liu Ruyan smiled brightly, her tone even more alluring.

At this moment, Lin Mo came out with the hot herbal medicine packet, tore open a small hole in it, and drank it all in one gulp. The bitterness was so intense that he immediately put on a mask of pain.
"Ugh~ My back hurts, I can't sleep on a soft bed, I guess I'll pass."

What do you mean he should listen to Liu Ruyan? It's obvious she's offering him too much; he can't refuse.

As for Liu Ruyan asking me to stay at her place, just take that with a grain of salt. Even if I go, I'll only be sleeping in the guest room. Do you really think I'll be sleeping in the same bed with her?
As Lin Mo said he would pay, the pained expression on his face made his cousin Su He laugh.

"Look at you two, so young and already taking Chinese medicine. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were trying to conceive, haha!"

That's right. Nowadays, if a young man and a woman suddenly start drinking traditional Chinese medicine, they're probably preparing for pregnancy and conditioning their bodies.

"Get lost, are you in such a hurry to become an aunt?" Liu Ruyan glared at Su He, then continued to smile at him:
"But Xiao Mo, are you really not going to consider it? If you can't sleep on a soft bed, you can sleep on the floor in your sister's room~"

Hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at her, rinsed his mouth to finally get rid of the bitter taste, and then walked over and said, "Come on, if I go to your house, you'll make me sleep in the toilet."

How are you feeling now? Do you need a massage?

Liu Ruyan shook her head: "It's okay for now, no need. Just massage my feet before I go to sleep, but my feet are a little cold~ even with socks on."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo sat down next to Liu Ruyan's feet, placing her jade-like feet under his buttocks.

Those in the know understand how skillful his move is. It's like putting your hand under the back of someone's hat in the northern winter – quite comfortable, second only to putting your hand directly under a friend's neck.

Feeling the warmth on her feet, Liu Ruyan's lips curled up slightly. Although he wasn't using his belly to warm her feet, she just liked seeing her younger brother's seemingly unintentional but actually caring manner.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the two women from Sichuan had just finished their filming for the day and were resting on the sofa.

"Hey, how much do you think we can make from this ad today? I think with the current buzz, the viewership should be pretty good. Why don't you skip the fall recruitment season and we can team up? You can help me with the behind-the-scenes work and filming. What do you think?"

After removing her makeup, the Sichuan girl, who was applying a face mask, spoke up. She used to never use face masks, but since becoming a blogger, she needed to wear makeup every day, and without skincare, her skin would only get worse.

Now that he's someone who makes a living based on his looks, he naturally has to be careful.

But Director Wang seemed not to hear, staring blankly at his phone screen.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that Wang Chu didn't react, Chuanmei couldn't help but yell at him.

"Huh? I didn't hear you. Could you say it again?"

Sichuan Girl: "I said, never mind. By the way, what's wrong with you? Ever since Lao Mo left, you've been absent-minded all afternoon. What are you thinking about?"

Wang Chu remained silent upon hearing this.

"Zhao Tingting?" the Sichuan girl asked tentatively.

Director Wang glanced at him.

"Damn, it really is her. What's wrong? Didn't you say it with such certainty during the day? Mazu has already given you nine Holy Grails, and you still want to be a simp?" Chuanmei exploded when she saw his reaction.

Upon seeing this, Director Wang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, really no, I've already thought it through. There's definitely no chance between us. I've already given up on it myself."

"Then why are you making that face like you've been cheated on by your girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Director Wang sighed: "Do you think I should remind her about Zhou Yong? I feel like he's the one who caused this."

To put it simply, Wang Chu's current state is that although he has given up, he still feels somewhat sorry for Zhao Tingting and wants to remind her.

"Dude, where's the evidence? You're just going to remind her with empty words. Old Mo already mentioned her current state today; everyone's suspicious."

"If you tell her, she'll definitely suspect Zhou Yong. Then, when others ask about the source of the information, believe it or not, she'll definitely implicate you. How will you explain that then? Gossiping behind people's backs?" Chuanmei pointed at Director Wang with exasperation.

After hearing this, Director Wang was also quite conflicted about this point, because he knew that what Chuanmei said was most likely correct, and the probability of it happening was very high.

'Ding'

Just then, Director Wang's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a message from the squad leader.

Squad leader Wang Jing: [Are you still alive?]

Director Wang: [As if alive!]

Class monitor Wang Jing: [Come to my dorm tomorrow and help me move some things.]

Director Wang: [I'm Director Wang, do you take me for an animal?]

Squad leader Wang Jing: [I'll treat you to a meal!]

Wang Chu: [This beast is here!]

Squad leader Wang Jing: [Awesome!]

In the girls' dormitory, Wang Jing put down her phone, feeling her heart pounding. She then tossed the phone onto the bed and went to wash up.
