Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 177 Sichuan Girl: You two, say something!

When there are many people, one person will always stand out, especially when someone is addicted to smoking. Everyone else is curious about his love life, but he is only thinking about Tashan.

Lin Mo treated several people to cold drinks at an ice cream shop near the back gate of the school.

"No, you guys are really free, aren't you? No wonder you're seniors, you've got no classes but you've got all the gossip going on, haven't you!" Lin Mo looked at the group and laughed helplessly.

These people have been following him and Liu Ruyan for at least an hour. If they had this much drive when they were studying, they wouldn't have only gone to an ordinary second-tier university. They would at least be at a 211 or 985 university.

"What's it to you? Hurry up and tell us how you met, when you officially became a couple, and how far things have progressed. Also, I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to rent a place outside. Turns out you've got someone else on the side," the Sichuan girl said impatiently, waving her hand.

He lost face so badly today, he has to get his revenge. If Lin Mo hadn't suddenly started dating someone, how could the real Liu Ruyan have ever seen him?

Even now, Chuanmei suspects that his decision to rent a place to live was a pre-planned scheme, clearly with ulterior motives.

"But I have to say, your girlfriend is really beautiful. Lin, you're amazing. You've been quiet for three years, but in your senior year you've completely transformed and even found a girlfriend who's a campus beauty," class monitor Wang Jing said with a smile.

He Xiaoyue, who was standing next to her, also took out her phone and said, "That's right, look at you guys, it hasn't been that long and your photos are already posted on the campus website. Tsk tsk tsk, there are quite a few likes and comments!"

Upon hearing this, the others quickly gathered around, and sure enough, they saw a photo of Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan eating together in the cafeteria, with over a hundred comments below.

Some comments even included photos of the two people in other parts of the school, clearly taken by different people.

Although Liu Ruyan is beautiful and attracts attention, at least no one in this school knows her; she's just a great beauty. But Lin Mo is different.

He became an internet sensation due to his recent act of saving someone, and the school also gave him a lot of publicity, even issuing a school-wide commendation.

So his face is quite recognizable at school, and sure enough, as soon as it was posted, many people recognized him.

[Hey? Isn't that the excavator hero from our school a while back?]

[Seriously, holy crap, are all acts of heroism now rewarded with such beautiful girlfriends? Anyone want to jump into Lovers' Lake? I want to save someone!]

Are you trying to be a hero? I don't even want to call you out on it.

Please, he didn't get a girlfriend because he did a good deed; he's a rich kid. If you were rich, you could date the school beauty too!

[Hasn't he already denied it? He's not a rich kid; the watch was a gift from a friend, and it's a high-quality fake.]

You actually believe that?!

In short, the comments section of the post was quite lively, and it even seemed to be escalating.

"No, why are you two meddling in this, class monitor? And besides, aren't all the freshmen already enrolled? Why are so many people still using the campus network?" Lin Mo looked at the two of them and how they were posted on the campus network because of this. There are so many idle people these days.

"What are you saying? As the class monitor, what's wrong with me gossiping a bit about classmates dating?" Wang Jing laughed.

He Xiaoyue chimed in, "That's right, we're all classmates, so it's good to show concern. As for the campus network, it's only been popular for the last couple of days. Seniors are using it more than freshmen these days, mainly to check the school's announcements."

"Fine, I can tell you're the type who doesn't watch much anyway, so hurry up and tell me!"

Hearing this and seeing the gazes of the four people, Lin Mo knew that he wouldn't be able to leave without explaining himself. He quickly organized his thoughts and explained Liu Ruyan's identity.

"What? Not boyfriend and girlfriend? Are you kidding me? The way she acted at your house, if I didn't know how you got that house and I was involved in the move, I would have thought I was going to her house."

Upon hearing Lin Mo deny their relationship, Chuanmei was the first to object.

“Exactly, who doesn’t have couples walking hand in hand?” Director Wang chimed in from the side, clearly not believing it either.

Although Wang Jing and the other woman did not see any intimate physical contact between the two, judging from their interaction, they did not believe that Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan were just ordinary friends.

To outsiders, their interactions clearly indicate a romantic relationship, something that normal friends would never do.

Take Wang Jing as an example. She likes Director Wang and has been looking for opportunities to take the initiative, but despite this, their relationship is far from the level of Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan. How can anyone believe that they are just friends?

"Fine, think what you want, but it's best not to tell Sister Yuan about what happened today. You two keep your mouths shut, understand?" Seeing the disbelieving looks on their faces, Lin Mo gave up on explaining and then instructed the two of them.

Upon hearing this, both of them looked at him with suspicion, their eyes clearly demanding an explanation, as it seemed as if he had ulterior motives.

"Sister Yuan and she have a bit of a... how should I put it, although they don't have any deep-seated hatred, they're always at odds. If she finds out about this, I won't have any peace and quiet," Lin Mo explained simply.

Seeing his serious expression, Director Wang and the other man nodded in agreement.

Sichuan girl: "I'll shut you up if you want, but I want to eat at a seafood buffet."

Wang Chu: "And there's Tashan!"

Wang Jing: "Get out of my way, handsome Lin! Everyone gets a share!"

He Xiaoyue: "Exactly! He's beholden to someone who feeds him. I promise I'll eat and forget about it and won't say anything more."

Seeing the four of them sharpening their knives, Lin Mo knew he had to treat them to a meal; otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble they might cause together? "Okay, you decide the time, just let me know," Lin Mo nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, the four cheered.

"There's no time like the present, let's do it tonight. By the way, what are you all doing this afternoon? If you're free, let's go listen to a public lecture together," Wang Jing said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately exchanged a glance with Chuan Mei, and then said, "No, no, I have some things to take care of back home. You guys go ahead!"

“I also need to go back and edit the footage. Director Wang should be free,” the Sichuan girl next to her said.

Seeing that both women were looking at him, Director Wang was taken aback: "Weren't we supposed to be talking to Lao Mo about something?"

Lin Mo:
Sichuan girl:.
This person is really impossible to manage; I'm exhausted.

Seeing her roommate's disappointment, He Xiaoyue quickly said, "By the way, handsome Lin, I heard that your rented house is right across the street, right? Would it be convenient for us to go up and take a look? We're too lazy to go back to the dorm anyway, so we'll just go over after class this afternoon."

He Xiaoyue winked at him as she spoke, signaling him to agree.

Lin Mo immediately understood: "No problem, come on over!"

And so, the group of five walked out of the cold drink shop and headed towards the Chengyue residential area across the street.

Just as she was about to enter the residential area, Chuanmei's phone rang.

"Hello, is this Mr. Li? Your package has arrived. May I leave it at the Mama's Station for you?"

The deliveryman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, thank you!" Chuanmei replied without much thought.

After hanging up the phone, he spoke again to the group, saying, "My package arrived, come with me to pick it up, okay?"

"What did you buy online this time?" Lin Mo asked casually.

The Sichuan girl sighed: "Clothes, of course, they're my livelihood!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo and Director Wang exchanged a glance, then looked at the two women.

The meaning is obvious: your livelihood, or your clothes, is basically women's clothing. There are outsiders here; are you sure you can do this?

Perhaps sensing their exchange, the Sichuan girl said casually in a low voice, "Don't worry, mine will be shipped discreetly."

Soon, the group of five arrived at a mothers' rest station not far from the community. The owner was an older woman.

"Boss, pickup code 05-5019!" the Sichuan girl shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the woman in the shop glanced at him, then looked at the people behind him and said, "Are you sure? It doesn't seem like it."

Sichuan Girl: "Huh? That's impossible! The delivery guy just called me and said it had arrived!"

Seeing his insistence, the older sister forced back a smile and said, "Is that so? Let me see. I found it. Look at my memory. His surname is Li, and his phone number ends in 9527, right?"

After saying that, he took out a human-shaped package, which was tightly wrapped and about the same height as the girl from Sichuan, and placed it in front of everyone.

In an instant, the store fell into a deathly silence.

The four people behind Chuanmei also widened their eyes. Lin Mo and Wang Chu took several steps back the moment they saw it, making their stance clear.

At least in front of outsiders, you must act as if you are not familiar with the other person, otherwise your boss will think you are that kind of person too.
Class monitor Wang Jing and He Xiaoyue were stunned for a moment, then He Xiaoyue exclaimed in surprise, "It's inflatable! Li...!"

Before she could finish speaking, the class monitor covered her mouth and pulled her back, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. We didn't see anything."

Sichuan girl:.
"No, you guys believe me, I really bought clothes."

Faced with the shop assistant's mocking gaze, the Sichuan girl looked at her pleadingly, trying to convince her brothers to believe in her.

But it was clear that none of the four had the courage to defend the Sichuan girl. After all, this kind of thing was like mud falling into your crotch; even if it wasn't shit, it was still shit. Who would dare to get involved?

Seeing this, the Sichuan girl became even more anxious: "Old Mo, Director Wang, please say something!"

The two remained silent, only looking away.

Sichuan girl:.
He never imagined that the tactics he used to deal with the two of them would one day come back to haunt him like a boomerang.

Sure enough, what goes around comes around.
