Welcome to the Misogyny Game

The two arrived at the library. Nan Chu returned the books but did not leave in a hurry. She looked at Liu Chaoque, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she did not say anything and borrowed a few more mystery novels.

This left Liu Chaoque completely baffled.

Time passed quietly and it was noon. After chatting outside for so long, Liu Chaoque was still not satisfied. She had lost interest in reading. Just then, Nan Chu was about to leave and it was time for lunch, so she left the library with him.

Wen Xia and Tian Qing were no longer in that pavilion; they might have gone on a date or gone out to eat.

Because it was lunchtime, all the students who had their last class in the morning rushed to the cafeteria. Fortunately, there were two cafeterias, and each cafeteria had several windows. Even so, when they arrived, there was still a long queue.

Liu Chaoque found a quiet spot, ordered his food, took a number, and returned to the seat he had reserved with his backpack. Except for Nan Chu's seat, all the other seats there were occupied.

Nan Chu was eating spicy hot pot and was still queuing up to pick up ingredients. By the time he got his number, five minutes had already passed.

Liu Chaoque and Mu Li are having a video call.

"Saturday night at 6 pm? You're not coming back?" Mu Li asked in surprise, then said with a regretful look, "I was planning to go with you to that night market you've always wanted to visit, but it looks like I'll have to go by myself."

That night market was quite far from their home. Liu Chaoque had seen it online and thought the food was pretty good, but he had never made up his mind to go there. He didn't expect that after complaining to Mu Li about it once, he would really take it to heart.

"Good Muli, how about we go together another day? It's not safe for you to go alone." Since they were outside, Liu Chaoque couldn't say anything about being hunted down.

"Hmph." Mu Li said, "You know it's not safe, but you won't come with me. You stay at home every day, I'm about to get moldy."

He slumped on the table, looking listless. His baby face pressed against the table like a dumpling: "Now you don't even have time on Saturday nights. You want to go out and have fun, you want to go out and have fun."

"Alright, alright." Liu Chaoque's eyes were full of smiles: "I'll take you to see the cultural performance on Saturday."

Mu Li looked up in surprise: "Really?", but then said disappointedly: "Don't you only have one ticket?"

Don't try to use your cheat codes to get me in, or I won't have a spot. Are you going to turn me into a cat? I refuse.

Liu Chaoque seemed to know what he was thinking: "I'll get you one."

"Okay." Mu Li was satisfied.

"Hey, who are you chatting with?" The two had already started saying goodbye when Nan Chu arrived.

Nan Chu saw the profile of a boy who looked very refined.

One can't help but sigh to oneself, "Here comes another one, well, another strong stock."

They've even started video chatting, and it seems these two are closer than Xu Wangchuan. I don't know why they came to that conclusion.

Is the relationship between the upperclassman and the underclassman she's shipping really going to end like this?

Liu Chaoque was unaware of her rich inner world. Seeing her arrive, he put down his phone and said, "You're here."

"Mm." Nan Chu nodded.

She usually didn't ask about Siman's love life, but this piece of wood was peach wood, and the peach blossoms on it were a bit frightening.

She thought she'd miss out on this great stock if she didn't grab it, but it turns out there are plenty of others lining up. Even though Guoguo is a bad person behind her back, that's what she was thinking.

Sigh... I'm tired of just saying I'm envious.

"By the way, Nan Chu." Liu Chaoque was thinking about how to get the other ticket to the cultural performance. Before she talked to Xu Wangchuan about it, she thought it was just a matter of mutual help between good friends, so it was only natural for her to ask him for help. Now she realized that she had been too presumptuous.

Those who don't have anything to gain are indeed a minority.

Xu Wangchuan: I should have known better than to confess. He doesn't want to ask me for help anymore.

"What?" Nan Chu asked.

"Never mind," Liu Chaoque decided not to ask any further questions.

"What's wrong with you?" Nan Chu smiled. "Why don't you want to ask anymore?"

"I mainly feel that you probably can't do anything about it either," Liu Chaoque said.

"How would you know I have no way if you don't ask?" Nan Chu said speechlessly.

Just then, her meal was ready, and she went to get the omelet rice. I don't know how much rice and an egg it costs, but it's over ten yuan, yet quite a lot of people buy it. Is it because of their eating skills? Or is the egg just very tender?

Liu Chaoque chewed for a moment. Surely it couldn't be because it looks good in photos?

She looked at the still-on camera screen in her hand. "Hmm, it's something I could never make. It looks pretty good."

"Well, actually I wanted to ask you how you got another ticket," Liu Chaoque said.

"Just ask my nephew for another one," Nan Chu said matter-of-factly.

"I knew it." She said, not without disappointment.

"Use these connections if you should."

"But you are our relatives, and I feel bad about taking food and gifts from you."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Your connections are my connections too." Nan Chu asked, puzzled, "If all else fails, don't you still have Xu Wangchuan? Or is he the handsome young man you just called?"

Liu Chaoque: Haha.

"Ding."

Before Liu Chaoque could come up with a solution, Mu Li sent another message.

"I just checked my email, and the hospital invited me. It's a front-row seat, and I can bring my family. Would you like to sit with me?"

Liu Chaoque slapped his forehead: "You didn't sell firewalls to our school, did you?"

They came because of our reputation: "No, it's just that your student association is trying to get investment from our company."

Oh right, and the company too. Liu Chaoque thought: Just because someone is down-to-earth doesn't mean they aren't rich.

Having come because of its reputation: "What about the front row?"

smile: "Too close, I have social anxiety."

He came because of its reputation: "Then I'll change to a seat in the back row. I'll sneak in. Let me, a project manager, sit here."

smile: "...I feel so guilty."

Having come because of its reputation, he said, "Then you can sit in the front row with me."

smile: "The president is very righteous."

People who came because of my reputation: "Aren't you going to call me 'sugar daddy' anymore?"

smile: "Panic-filled jpg, how did you know?"

"I came here because of your reputation: 'I know everything.' (Smug cat face JPG)"

smile: "Awesome!" Awesome JPG.

"It's done!"

"What's settled?"

Nan Chu brought over the plate, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

“I just asked that friend of mine, and he said he managed to get the tickets himself.”

"Oh~"

Nan Chu nodded, but she didn't need Si Man's ticket? Could it be that her friend was from the school? Who was it? Who was it? She was so curious. She looked at Liu Chaoque, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Before she could even utter a word, Liu Chaoque had already changed the subject.

"However, I never expected that you would be that man's aunt."

"Hmm." Nan Chu said, "I was just testing the waters. After all, people with the surname Tian are really rare, and our family has so many people."
