Volume 4 Chapter 2: Is My Opponent Actually a Popular Idol?
That guy… that night, he didn’t walk her home!
Ugh…
Even though it didn’t sound like a big deal. After all, he was only her friend.
But…
Lin Lin blinked. She hugged the VR equipment and sat back down in her chair. She could not help but sigh again.
Sigh…
She still remembered what happened last night. Before leaving, her rival had suggested giving her a hug.
The scene appeared in her mind again. He pulled her into his arms. She could feel their breathing. His embrace was warm. After a short moment of peace and comfort, her heart started beating very fast.
At the end, she had actually wanted to open her eyes and say something to him.
What did she want to say at that time…?
Lin Lin’s face slowly turned red. She lay down on the desk and pushed the VR equipment aside, lost in her thoughts.
She really could not understand what had happened to her that night. Why did she agree to such a request from her rival? And why did she feel so unwilling to let go, even thinking about it until now?
If he had stayed with her a little longer… or walked her home…
Ah—
The girl leaned back in her chair helplessly and rubbed her temples.
She was becoming more and more strange.
Why? She had never thought about these things before.
Yes, she was a girl now. That was true. But she had only wanted to become more popular. As for other things… like something she had never thought about before, falling in love with someone.
If she liked someone, it should be a girl, right?
At first, Lin Lin thought that way. But now… it seemed like her heart had a different answer.
But that guy!
When she thought about how the night ended, she felt upset again. She clenched her teeth, turned her head away, and secretly swore in her heart that she would never deal with any man in her life again, except for her family.
Damn it!
That guy, that guy…
Who was that woman?
No matter how many emotions passed through her mind, in the end, the girl lowered her head sadly. Another image appeared in her thoughts.
A silver-haired girl.
She dressed in a stylish way. Her looks were easily nine out of ten. She wore sunglasses and looked cool. When she spoke, she sounded very mature.
But even with that mature tone, she still called Gao Liang “A-Liang.”
“A-Liang”? Seriously?
Lin Lin felt very uncomfortable hearing that name, even though it was not directed at her.
Any woman who could call Gao Liang “A-Liang” in such a close and friendly way must have a special relationship with him!
From the way her rival reacted, he clearly knew that woman. And they seemed quite familiar with each other…
Last night, he left her behind and went to talk with that woman.
Even though… even though Gao Liang looked a little troubled and unwilling at that time.
“…”
Forget it.
Lin Lin shook her head. It was better not to make excuses for him.
He left her to go talk to another woman. That was the truth.
No matter what his face looked like or what tone he used, that was what he did.
Maybe the “troubled” or “unwilling” expression was just an act.
Or maybe she only imagined it herself.
Anyway, Lin Lin herself could not remember everything clearly.
The girl sighed. Forget it. No matter who that woman was to Gao Liang, it was none of her business.
She did not care about her rival’s social circle at all.
What she really should worry about was her own strange feelings that night.
In the future, she should stay a little farther away from Gao Liang. Otherwise… if one day she really became his…
Lin Lin did not even want to say that word. If that day really came, she felt she might as well just run into a wall.
She picked up the VR equipment again and tried to study it. But… it felt like something was still stuck in her mind, scratching at her heart and making her restless.
Stop thinking about that stuff. Focus on the equipment. This VR headset is great, right? After putting it on, she could play many fun games. Isn’t that nice?
She could also use it to watch immersive movies. Big movies, small movies… um… that also sounded pretty good.
Don’t think about it…
Ahhhhh…
Stop thinking about it!
The girl lay back on her bed and rolled around, as if she wanted to use up all her energy so she could finally calm down.
But…
She couldn’t.
She lowered her head and sighed. She really could not calm herself down. Her mind was full of thoughts about Gao Liang and that woman.
The most important thing was…
It was not like she had no clues at all.
If she only knew what happened last night and nothing more, then maybe it would be easier to calm down. Without any leads, there would be nothing to think about.
But she did have a small clue.
Last night, she saw what the silver-haired girl looked like after she took off her sunglasses.
That face…
How should she describe it? Yes, she had a special aura. But that was not the main point.
The main point was… no matter how she thought about it, Lin Lin felt that face looked familiar.
It was like she had seen it somewhere before.
But that did not make sense. Lin Lin had not known many girls since she was young.
And yet, she was sure she had seen that face before!
That was strange.
First, she tried to remember the faces of female classmates she had known since childhood. But most of those memories were blurry now. The ones she still remembered clearly were definitely not that beautiful.
Hmm…
Maybe she was thinking in the wrong direction.
Lin Lin quickly got out of bed. She already had a guess in her heart.
She opened the search bar and typed:
【female celebrity idol silver hair】
The keywords were not very clear, but that did not matter.
What mattered was the first result.
Yes, she remembered now.
She had definitely seen that face on the package of the potato chips she often bought.
In the supermarket, there were many kinds of snacks on the shelves. But she often noticed that one brand.
The reason was simple.
A silver-haired girl as the brand ambassador was very eye-catching.
Especially for an otaku girl like Lin Lin.
If she remembered correctly, the package had words like:
“A rising young idol in Huadu City,”
“Goddess of otaku boys,”
“New brand ambassador.”
“…”
That snack brand was not a small company.
To become a young spokesperson for such a big brand…
Sure enough, it did not take long before Lin Lin found her name. Even with a vague search, the result immediately showed:
【Are you searching for: Yi Xiao?】
With a dark expression, she clicked on the profile page.
As expected.
That photo…
It was the same face she saw last night.
