My organs are too abstract.

Nine o'clock in the morning, Yanda University.

Xu Yuan, still feeling the heat from training, pushed open the dormitory door and casually placed several breakfasts on the table.

"Stop lying there like corpses, get up and eat."

"Ugh... Brother Yuan, you're up so early?" Zhao Ze shook his head, his voice still a little dazed.

Li Da, his hair a mess, got up and exclaimed sincerely, "No wonder Yuan-ge is so handsome! He's so disciplined; no wonder you're so good-looking!"

Liu Cheng yawned and took out his phone, intending to jot something down, but then sighed and said, "Never mind, I can't learn Yuan-ge's self-discipline, so I won't jot it down."

Li Da glanced at him: "Do you think you can learn everything else?"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense," Xu Yuan stopped talking and said irritably, "Have you guys forgotten what we're supposed to do today?"

"Um?"

Zhao Ze sat bolt upright as if a switch had been flipped: "Holy crap! A flea market!"

Li Da was startled and pulled out his phone to check: "Holy crap, it's already nine o'clock?!"

Liu Cheng had finished washing up and was sitting at the table slowly eating his breakfast: "Who told you to stay up so late last night?"

"How can you blame me?" Li Da protested. "It's all Brother Long's fault! He was chatting with his online girlfriend in the middle of the night, laughing so lewdly, keeping me tossing and turning all night, and I was born innocent!"

Liang Xiaolong, who was called out, did not react at all. He stood with his hands behind his back on the balcony, gazing out the window, his posture as calm as a hermit.

Zhao Ze looked puzzled: "Is this the position everyone has to assume before jumping off a building these days?"

Xu Yuan, holding a towel and preparing to take a shower, saw this and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Li Da said that about you, aren't you going to talk back?"

"Heh," Liang Xiaolong chuckled faintly, his tone calm and indifferent, "just the raucous barking of the jealous, why bother with it?"

"Who's jealous of you?" Li Da snapped. "You don't even know what your online boyfriend looks like, why would I be jealous of you?"

Liang Xiaolong uttered two words indifferently: "Country bumpkin."

"Alright, alright!" Zhao Ze interrupted their argument. "Hurry up, or we won't be able to squeeze into the anime club area!"

The group hurriedly began to tidy up.

At this moment, Xu Yuan suddenly asked, "By the way, my textbooks are all missing. Do you know where I put them?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you about that," Zhao Ze explained. "Your book was taken by the class monitor. She said she'll complete your notes from when you were sick, and you should go back and get them from her."

Xu Yuan was filled with emotion: "Our class monitor is indeed beautiful inside and out. Praise to the class monitor, so loyal!"

While getting dressed, Li Da chimed in, "The class monitor is great in every way, except she's too nosy. Last time I skipped class and she caught me, she nagged me for a full ten minutes."

Xu Yuan felt a deep sense of empathy, understanding the sentiment all too well. However, having just received a favor from the class monitor, how could he allow others to have a say?

"Shut up!" he immediately retorted righteously. "Look for the reasons within yourself. Why does the class monitor nag you instead of others?"

Xu Yuan pointed at him, heartbroken, and said, "You even slander the class monitor? Are you even human?"

Li Da paused for a moment, then hesitated before speaking, "But the class monitor used to nag you the most, Brother Yuan."

He paused, then added quietly, "You're the one who complains about her the most."

"..."

Xu Yuan's righteous and stern expression froze instantly on his face.

Seeing Xu Yuan's face growing darker, Liu Cheng quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, there are quite a few people chasing after the class monitor. They're always running into our classroom during class."

Zhao Ze curled his lip: "Is that called chasing? That's called harassment. I think the class monitor is about to be driven crazy by it."

As they chatted and packed up, the flea market was already bustling with activity when they finally arrived at the playground.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Xu Yuan exclaimed, "Wow, so many people!"

"That's normal," Liu Cheng explained from the side. "This year's event was much larger than in previous years, and many people came specifically to see Pei Yan and the anime club's cosplayers."

After browsing through the other stalls briefly and finding nothing interesting, the group headed straight for their destination.

They had only gone halfway when they ran into Xu Liang and Chen Fei.

Zhao Ze greeted them, "You two are here too?"

Xu Liang winked and said, "With such a large entourage from the anime club, how could we not come?"

"Hehehe."

The group exchanged glances and let out knowing laughs.

With his hands behind his back, looking detached from worldly affairs, Liang Xiaolong shook his head and walked away nonchalantly: "Boring."

Xu Liang stared at his retreating figure for a long time before turning to Li Da and asking, "When did he go crazy? Is there any risk of him recovering?"

Li Da shook his head with a pained expression: "I don't know, it's been like this since early this morning, I guess the progress of our online relationship has been updated."

"Utterly foolish!" Xu Liang scoffed. "He's already showing off like this without even seeing the photos. What will he do when they meet in person and he finds out his online girlfriend weighs over 800 pounds?"

"I think so too."

The two exchanged a glance and then burst into a sly laugh.

"Alright, alright," Xu Yuan interrupted, looking at the two with a speechless expression, "Let's go over there too."

The anime club's booth was tucked away at the very back, attracting far more people than the other booths, and a banner stood out prominently:

"The rope challenge awaits your participation!"

As soon as the group squeezed in, a senior student dressed as an elf walked over with a smile, holding a small sign, and greeted them sweetly, "Want to play the rope challenge, classmate?"

Xu Liang glanced at his senior sister a couple more times without making a sound, then looked around and his eyes widened: "Wow, is the entire anime club cosplaying?"

It's like bringing a comic convention right to campus.

Several female students dressed in various cosplay outfits were busy running around in front of the booth.

There are pure and sweet JK uniforms, sleek and cool anime character battle outfits, and some with animal ears and fluffy skirts, belonging to the soft and cute style, looking full of energy.

A senior student, also dressed in cosplay, held up a rope loop and shouted loudly, "Ten meters, ten yuan for ten tries; four meters, ten yuan for six tries; five meters, ten yuan for four tries! The farther the distance, the more expensive the prize!"

"Lasso the figurine, slip it on, and take it home!"

Xu Yuan's gaze fell on the ground.

Three lines were clearly marked on the ground with tape, indicating three meters, four meters, and five meters respectively, dividing the area into different zones.

The three-meter zone recently is filled with small trinkets such as keychains, badges, and miniature dolls, or water bottles printed with anime characters.

The central four-meter area features medium-sized plush toys, standees, and small pillows, offering good value for money.

In the five-meter-long section at the farthest point, there was a whole row of exquisite figurines, large dolls, and life-sized body pillows, making people envious.

What's even more interesting is that they didn't use ordinary ring toss, but real rope loops.

A soft rope with a slipknot at the end is used to play the same game as the cow-lassoing game in the West. You need to grab the end of the rope and swing it out to make the loop open in the air. Only by accurately lassoing the prize can you succeed.

The elf-like senior's gaze swept over the group, her eyes lighting up when she landed on Xu Yuan, her tone becoming even more enthusiastic: "How about it, classmate? Want to try it out?"

Before Xu Yuan could even speak, Xu Liang nodded repeatedly, "Let's play, let's play, we absolutely have to!"

Zhao Ze observed the students playing the ring toss game for a while, his eyes lighting up: "Brother Yuan, this looks really interesting! Let's try it too!"

As he spoke, he took a few ropes from the elf senior and walked inside with great interest.

A crowd had already gathered in front of the stall, with many men and women trying out the rope loops. However, the rope was soft, and the loop was difficult to control; if you swung it slightly off-center, you would miss the loop altogether, making it several levels more difficult than using plastic loops.

Some people swung the rope crookedly, unable to even break free of the loop, drawing laughter and pity, yet they remained undeterred.

"I'll try it first and set an example for everyone!" Zhao Ze watched for a while, his hands itching to try it.

He reached the three-meter area, looked at a small pendant, spun the rope around his hand twice, and then suddenly threw it forward!

"call out--"

The rope circle flew rapidly toward the target, but unfortunately it veered off course and landed half a meter away.

Zhao Ze retracted the rope with a regretful expression: "What a pity."

"That's amazing!" Senior Elf praised sincerely. "This kind of rope loop is much harder than a regular ring toss. To throw it like that on your first try is fantastic."

Seeing this, Liang Xiaolong slowly stepped forward: "I'll give it a try too."

Seeing his air of superiority, Li Da was somewhat intimidated and couldn't tell whether he was truly skilled or simply lost in his own art.

Unable to resist, I asked, "Brother Long, you can do this too?"

"Hehe," Liang Xiaolong shook his head and chuckled, "I learned to toss rings before I learned to walk. Today is the day I leave the mountain."

He strolled to the three-meter line, picked up the rope, and, imitating the cowboy in the TV series, spun it rapidly in his hand before suddenly flicking it!

"Clatter!"

The noose spun forward, but before it had flown two meters, it fell limply to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Liang Xiaolong's calm and detached expression froze on the spot.
