My online dating circle has millions of followers, why would she put a collar on me?

Xia Anmian held the phone a little further away and rubbed her ears, which were itchy from the vibration: "Which best friend? You have so many best friends, how could I remember them all?"

"It's that one! The one with the birthmark on her face! I've told you so many times!"

Gu Qinghan lowered her voice, but her excitement was not diminished at all.

"Let me tell you, her online boyfriend and she are really something else. They haven't even met in person, and she's already spent a ton of money on him—millions of dollars!"

Xia Anmian paused for a moment.

Millions?

"And then?" she asked, continuing to walk forward, her tone indifferent.

Her grandfather was among the top ten in the national server. In her eyes, money was just a string of numbers, and even a million dollars would only cause her a brief pause.

"Then she's going to Kyoto to see that guy! Next Wednesday! I'm going too!" Gu Qinghan said.

"I'm telling you, I don't feel comfortable letting her go alone, I have to go with her. It's also been a while since I've seen you, how about the three of us have dinner together?"

Xia Anmian hummed in response, without any particular reaction.

She didn't have a deep impression of the girl named Su Xiaoyue; she had only heard Gu Qinghan mention her occasionally.

My family is in the international business and is very wealthy, but that's about all I know.

Her mind is filled with other things right now.

Jiang Yi's worried face.

And then there's Jiang Miaomiao, that troublesome girl.

"Anmian? Anmian! Are you even listening to me?!" Gu Qinghan's voice exploded from the receiver. "I said Su Xiaoyue spent almost a million on her boyfriend, did you hear me?!"

"I heard you." Xia Anmian turned into an alley; the company building was right in front of her. "Over a million, that's a lot."

"What do you mean 'quite a lot'? This is a million! Not a hundred dollars! That's my monthly living expenses!" Gu Qinghan expressed strong dissatisfaction with her coldness.

"You need to react, okay?! I'm totally shocked!"

Xia Anmian did not refute, but she was thinking about something else entirely.

Su Xiaoyue spent over a million yuan on her online boyfriend.

She and Jiang Yi had been together for over two years, and she could count on one hand the number of times she had treated Jiang Yi to a meal, let alone spent that much money.

Jiang Yi's monthly living expenses are tight, and he still has to save money to prepare birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, and holiday gifts for her.

Last Valentine's Day, she received a silver necklace.

Later, she accidentally saw Jiang Yi's shopping records; he had paid for the necklace in six installments.

Phase 6.

A college student has to pay for a necklace that costs several hundred yuan in six installments.

And what about her?

In order to maintain his public image.

She has never bought Jiang Yi a decent gift.

Xia Anmian suddenly stopped.

She stood at the alley entrance, the early spring wind carrying fine dust rushed towards her, making the hem of her clothes flutter.

She felt a little regretful.

I should have known better than to hide my identity in the first place.

At the very least, she shouldn't present herself as impoverished in front of Jiang Yi.

"Perhaps it's time to be honest with him!"

Xia Anmian bit her lip, her fingers unconsciously scratching the back of her phone case twice.

But in the end, she shook her head; she didn't dare.

It's not because she's afraid of Jiang Yitu or anything.

She knew Jiang Yi; he was genuinely poor and genuinely didn't care whether she had money or not.

What she fears is that once she speaks out, many things will change.

Jiang Yi's gaze towards her changes.

Their relationship will change.

That kind of simple, almost transparent way of getting along may never be the same again.

This was also the original intention behind concealing it from Jiang Yi.

"Anmian? Why aren't you saying anything?" Gu Qinghan's voice pulled her back to reality.

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Xia Anmian took a deep breath, suppressing those chaotic thoughts, and started walking again. "By the way, Qinghan, you told me before that your sister was looking for a tutor, right?"

"Oh? Yeah, my sister is in her final year of high school, and she's terrible at math and physics. My mom is really worried sick about her."

Gu Qinghan started sighing when she talked about her younger sister.

"If you ask me, it doesn't matter whether he studies or not. He can just go abroad later. But he's addicted to mobile games and talks about 'restoring the Han Dynasty' all the time. He's not like a little girl at all."

"I'll help you find someone."

"Hey, Xia Anmian, I'm venting to you, are you even listening?"

……

the other side.

At this time, Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

When Jiang Yi returned to the dormitory, none of his three roommates were there. He took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and lay on his bed, staring blankly at the top bunk.

One million one hundred thousand.

Two hundred thousand.

Nine hundred thousand is still needed.

No, Jiang Miaomiao's account sold for 200,000, plus the 3,000+ in the account, totaling 203,000. That's still 1,096,000 short of 1,300,000.

He calculated these back and forth three or four times, and the result was the same each time.

More than 1,096,000.

The number felt like a needle pricking his temple, throbbing intermittently.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Su Xiaoyue's phone vibrated again.

Jiang Yi opened his phone and saw a sea of ​​messages.

Little Moon: Honey, I bought a new dress today!

[picture]

Little Moon: It's light blue, do you think it's pretty? (✪ω✪)

[picture]

Little Moon: I tried it on, and the sales assistant said this color makes my skin look especially fair!

Little Moon: Honey, why are you ignoring me again? (╥﹏╥)

Little Moon: Are you busy?

Little Moon: I'll wait for you patiently. Remember to look for me when you're done! (*╯3╰)

Jiang Yi clicked on the picture.

The girl in the photo is standing in a fitting room, wearing a light blue floral dress that just reaches her knees.

She was looking down as she straightened her skirt, not looking at the camera, so only half of her face was visible.

But that half-face was enough to see a lot clearly.

Her skin was very white, almost translucent.

Her features weren't exactly stunning, but they were delicate and pleasing to the eye, with a gentle quality in her eyes and brows, like the first gardenia blooming in spring.

There was a faint mark on her left cheek, almost invisible unless you looked closely, like a thin layer of red showing through her skin.

If Jiang Yi hadn't known beforehand that it was a birthmark, he might have thought it was just a naturally good complexion.

This is Su Xiaoyue.

The girl who transferred 1.3 million yuan to Jiang Miaomiao.

Jiang Yi stared at the photo for a few seconds, then abruptly locked the screen, flipped the phone over, and placed it face down on the bed, his heart pounding like a drum.

Sin ah.

He took three deep breaths, picked up his phone again, and started typing.

"I was busy just now and only just saw the message."

After sending it, he paused, then, remembering his previous experience, added, "The dress is beautiful, and blue suits you very well."

Little Moon replied almost instantly: Really? (✪ω✪)

Little Moon: I was worried you wouldn't think it looked good!

Little Moon: My husband has the best taste! I'm relieved that you say it looks good~

Jiang Yi stared at the "husband" and his lips twitched. He continued typing: "Really, he's very handsome."

After thinking for a moment, I added, "But you just had surgery, so don't go out around. Rest well at home."

Little Moon: Okay~ I've almost recovered!

Little Moon: Honey, guess what else I did today?

Jiang Yi: "What?"

Little Moon: [Voice]

Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment, then put on his headphones and turned on voice communication.

"I booked a flight to Kyoto today!"

The sound coming from the headphones carried a joyful, uncontainable excitement.

Like a sparrow that has just learned to fly, it flaps its wings and soars into the sky.

"My flight is next Wednesday morning, I'll arrive by noon!"

"I'm so happy to finally see my husband!"
