Chapter 124: A Win-Win-Win


“Li Mu! Over here! This way!”


Just as Li Mu stood frozen in the cafeteria, unsure of where to go, a girl in the distance waved at him.


He looked up and saw that it was Wang Ruoyan, the girl Yu Fan had just mentioned to him earlier.


Li Mu had a good impression of her. She was friendly and outgoing. Even though she wasn’t prettier than him, her personality was great.


So he took his tray and sat down next to Wang Ruoyan.


The anger he had felt earlier disappeared completely. He felt a little shy, his face turning red, but he kept a serious face, trying to act cool and calm.


After all, he didn’t often hang out with girls. Especially not while eating, and definitely not while surrounded by several of them.


“Where are your dorm mates?”


“I think they went out to surf the internet.” Li Mu kept his head down, eating, not daring to look at Wang Ruoyan sitting next to him.


Across the table were two other girls he didn’t know. They were probably her dorm mates.


Li Mu snuck a quick look at the girls across from him. His face got even redder.


One was a tall and confident girl with long legs. The other had glasses, short hair, and a quiet, smart vibe.


Both were exactly his type.


Too bad neither of them was as good-looking as he was.


His remaining male instincts made him secretly enjoy being surrounded by pretty girls, even if he was blushing and nervous.


“Li Mu, the teacher said this morning that we’ll have a fitness test next gym class,” Wang Ruoyan said with a smile. “You should get ready.”


She was the class sports rep, and she usually helped organize gym class.


Fitness test?

Li Mu wasn’t really afraid of it. He had done these before.


But now, he suddenly remembered how weak his body had become.


He was probably going to embarrass himself.


He nodded to show he understood, then asked Wang Ruoyan, “Can I borrow your class notes?”


“My notes?” Wang Ruoyan frowned slightly and pointed to the tall girl across from her. “I already lent them to her. You’ll have to wait until next week.”


Li Mu froze for a second. He figured that Wang Ruoyan probably didn’t want to lend him the notes and was just using this as an excuse.


After thinking for a moment, he said, “Yu Fan seems pretty free this weekend…”


“Huh?” Wang Ruoyan’s eyes lit up.


“He and my sister seem to have some kind of disagreement…”


A small smile appeared on Wang Ruoyan’s face. She teased him, “Li Mu, are you selling out your own sister?”


“I’m selling out Yu Fan,” Li Mu said seriously. “I think you’re just as good as my sister. If you make the first move, Yu Fan might actually say yes.”


“But Yu Fan doesn’t really like mobile games. It’s better if you talk to him about PC games.”


“Like QQ Dance?”


“......”


Why is this girl still not getting it?


He rubbed his temples in frustration. “Games like Dota, Monster Hunter, or Cyberpunk 2077.”


He wasn’t just trying to trick Yu Fan into helping him get the notes. Li Mu also wanted to see how Yu Fan would respond to Wang Ruoyan.


Yu Fan wasn’t some noble guy. He had said before that if a girl wasn’t super annoying and looked decent, he’d probably say yes if she confessed to him.


So if he accepted Wang Ruoyan’s confession, or even hesitated, that would mean Li Mu was safe.


But if he rejected her right away, then Li Mu might have to think about keeping some distance from him.


Wang Ruoyan hesitated. “But Yu Fan already has a girlfriend. Isn’t that a bit bad?”


Li Mu, usually quiet, had learned a lot from hanging out with Yu Fan and his dorm mates. Now he could make things up smoothly without stuttering.


“Think about it, love is something you go after, it’s not about giving up.”


“Also, my sister isn’t prettier than you. Her personality is bad too. She argues with Yu Fan all the time…”


“Why does it sound like you have a grudge against your sister?” Wang Ruoyan asked, sounding suspicious.


Just as Li Mu was about to explain, Wang Ruoyan looked at him with a strange expression and said, “Why do I feel like… you’re becoming more and more like your sister?”


Back when he wore girl’s clothes, Li Mu only used makeup to hide the manly parts of his face. But now, he didn’t even need makeup. There weren’t many masculine features left on his face.


To others, it was natural to feel that Li Mu and his “sister” were looking more and more alike.


“When you were standing over there earlier, I almost thought your sister came looking for you.”


“We’re twins. Looking alike is normal,” Li Mu replied seriously.


“But your sister clearly wears makeup.”


He suddenly realized the conversation was heading in a direction that could be bad for him.


So Li Mu quickly changed the subject. “About Yu Fan, if you’re a little more friendly and make the first move, he’ll totally freak out.”


“So when you go on a date with him this weekend, you need to stick to him like glue.”


As soon as she heard Yu Fan’s name, Wang Ruoyan’s IQ seemed to drop. She nodded over and over again, “Mm-hmm!”


Li Mu felt much more at ease. After finishing his food, he reminded her, “Give me the notes tomorrow afternoon. I’ll need them for the weekend.”


“Okay!” Wang Ruoyan nodded happily.


The most important thing for Li Mu was to hide the fact that he had dressed like a girl. He wasn’t that close to this girl, and who knows what she’d do if she found out?


Next, he had to deal with Yu Fan.


Li Mu took his tray to the return station, pulled out his phone, and sent Yu Fan a message.


“Wang Ruoyan says she likes you. Meet her for a date this Saturday.”


Almost right away, Yu Fan replied with a bunch of question marks. “?????”


“You’re always single. As your ‘dad,’ I’m really worried.”


“You sure know how to joke online.”


Online and real life were very different. Li Mu could joke all day on the internet, but in real life he still kept a serious face.


It’s like those people who act super tough online, but in real life they’re soft like a cute little bunny who might cry if you punch them once.


After a short wait, Yu Fan replied again. “I’m busy this weekend. Forget it.”


That made Li Mu very alert. “You’re not interested?”


Don’t tell me… that guy actually likes him?


He had been trying to test this for a while. Even though Yu Fan always said things like “I’m not gay,” Li Mu still wasn’t totally sure.


Yu Fan replied again. “Isn’t playing games better? Didn’t Wang Ruoyan ask you before too? Why didn’t you agree that time?”


Because there was no benefit that time.

Also… he had felt kind of jealous.


Li Mu didn’t know how to reply. But then Yu Fan sent another message. “How about this, let’s hang out this weekend and bring her along?”


“Sure.”


Looked like he’d have to give Yu Fan and Wang Ruoyan some private time on the weekend. Otherwise, Wang Ruoyan might be too shy to confess.


He could also help out as a wingman.


Li Mu thought to himself:


If Wang Ruoyan and Yu Fan really become a couple, then he would be the great matchmaker who brought them together.


And he got a copy of the notes as a reward.


At the same time, he could keep testing Yu Fan’s feelings toward him. If Li Mu wasn't always needing Yu Fan's help, he wouldn't have dared to keep in touch after the hotel incident last night.


This time?


It was a win-win-win.
