PUBG Online Romance of the Century Chapter 113 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Didn’t you say that you were an invincible fighter back

Chapter 113 - Extra CP (Zuo Zhen x Lu Xiuhe)-Didn’t you say that you were an invincible fighter back in junior high school?

In college, everyone was an adult, and fighting wasn’t a big deal as long as there was no blood shed. The counselor called late at night and talked to Father Lu for a long time.
“Yes….right, our family’s He Zi is really well-behaved ordinarily. He was in a bad mood tonight, he’s lovelorn…if you can understand, that’s great. ”
Lu Xiuhe couldn’t stand it any longer and said, “Dad, if you’re going to talk on the phone, just talk on the phone. Can you not tell the whole world about this matter ah?”
“Shut up, it’s not like I’m not lying. How can I lie to the teacher?” Father Lu scolded him.
Lu Xiuhe really wanted to define again the differences between counselors and teachers for his dad.
“Yes, yes, yes, thank you, teacher. I’ll tell him to go tomorrow.” Father Lu finished talking, hung up the phone, turned around, and said, “Okay, the person over there that suffered from getting hit by you doesn’t blame you; the counselor asked you to go apologize tomorrow, and then it’ll be okay.”
“Me apologize?” Lu Xiuhe’s eyes widened, “Yeah right. Why should I apologize to him? I even want him to go give Zuo…. Go give my partner an apology! ”
In normal times, Father Lu would definitely knock on his son’s head, but today he just let it go. He got up and said, “It’s fine if you don’t apologize. I’ll ask your mom to buy you some fruit tomorrow morning, and you take it to school. You beat someone up, so it’s not too much to send some fruit ba?”
Lao San usually had a cheap mouth and loved to jabber away, but he wasn’t a bad person. Lu Xiuhe thought about it and mumbled, “Okay ba.”
After applying some random medicine, Lu Xiuhe went back to his room. His face was burning with pain, and he definitely couldn’t fall asleep. He simply turned over and played with his cellphone.
The first thing he did when he picked up his phone was open up his Weibo side account, wanting to see how the comments were like under that influencer account. However as he flipped and scrolled around, he just found out that the influencer’s Weibo had been deleted, without even a shadow left behind. It must have been the PR team.
It was three o’clock in the morning, so Peerless’ efficiency was pretty up there ba. He just didn’t know if Zuo Zhen had seen that post or not.
His heart suddenly soured, and he thought to himself, really, you’ve already been blacklisted by this guy, so whether or not he saw it has shit all to do with you.
He closed the search and was going to go watch the latest episode of One Piece when he saw a special topic on the trending searches.
“Have any of you experienced being tricked while dating online?”
This line of characters stabbed straight into Lu Xiuhe’s heart.
He was sure that no one else was more qualified to reply to this Weibo post!
This Weibo post was simply customized for him. If it was on some other platform, he would even add a “thank you” before replying.
He clicked on the post and went straight to the comments. He found that some people in these comments had been tricked out of money, some had been tricked about what the other person looked like, and some had been catfished, but it seemed that he couldn’t find a sympathetic take on it.
So he turned around, got up, and opened up the comment box.
“I’ll talk about it too. My online partner for five months is a man, and I’m also a man, a man as straight as steel. Some time ago, I went to his city to find him… when I met him in real life, he’s really handsome. ”
He had originally wanted to make a long speech, but who knew that when he finished typing this line, he accidentally clicked the send button.
He clicked his tongue, just about to continue his comment in a reply, but when it refreshed, he found that someone had already replied to his comment.
[Really handsome? How handsome, a straight man aesthetic kind of handsome?]
Having a stranger listening to him pour his heart out in the middle of the night felt too good.
“No, the kind of handsome that both men and women like. I’m already this old, and I haven’t seen anyone more handsome than him.”
These days, there were many night owls. He refreshed the page, and there was another reply below.
[Such a handsome person dates online? I don’t believe it. Then what? ]
[May I ask, is he as handsome as him [picture]]
Lu Xiuhe casually clicked to open the picture.
……it was really as if he had seen a ghost.
This was actually a street snapshot of Zuo Zhen at the airport.
“He’s as handsome as him. Then… After having dated for so long, I couldn’t bear to beat him up. As soon as I was ready to say bye bye to him, I was pressed up against the wall and kissed by him.”
[?]
[Ha?? What kind of turn is this? By the way, begging for a picture. ]
“Afraid of losing my connection, so not sending photos. After that, I originally had no intention of contacting him again, but I kept not being able to help it… I said before ba, he’s so handsome, and then… ”
Lu Xiuhe thought about how to make this matter vague.
“Then he had a fan group at our school, and I accidentally entered the fan group. Who knew that he found out about this matter, and he asked me if I was purposefully dangling him around, and said that since I don’t like him, to not entangle with him anymore.”
[Really fake, he’s your online partner, so how can he have a fan group at your school? Not chatting with you guys anymore 886. ]
“I guarantee, this matter is absolutely true. If I lied, may I be single for the rest of my life. ”
[This person plainly catfished you, and he still has the nerve to say you’re dangling him around? And then what, you beat him up? ]
“No.”
“I was kissed by him again.”
[…… ]
[You’re really unlucky. So in the end what, now it should be time for you to take some action ba? If I was kissed twice by a man, I could fucking burn down his house. ]
“Ah? Why do I need to take action ah. If he kissed me that means I kissed him too ah. He’s that handsome, and anyway I’m not suffering any losses. Isn’t it just touching lips? ”
[? ]
“And he was still sick then. I originally wanted to wait for his fever to go down before leaving, but he drove me away&#k2026; right, I was just blacklisted by him too. “
[??]
“His QQ and WeChat have all been deleted, our chat records for the several months have all disappeared, he won’t let me into his fans’ group, and also told me to leave his fandom. I think I am the most miserable fan in the world.”
[???]
“So I’d like to comment here to ask all of you, in this case, is there any way to make me and him not have such hardened relations? At least….QQ and WeChat could get added back ba. I’ll just look at his profile picture and won’t go looking for him to chat with, and that would be fine, really. “
At the end of this sentence, Lu Xiuhe got up and went to the bathroom. When he came back, he was shocked by the 100 likes on his comment.
There were already a lot more replies to his post, and the reply at the top was——
[Dearest, we suggest that you bend over directly. ]
“……”
Lu Xiuhe felt as if he had been electrified by something. He was so shocked that his thumb reflexively pressed down and locked his phone.
——
The next day, the other people in the dormitory, in order to make the two of them reconcile earlier, made plans for lunch at a restaurant near the school.
As soon as Lu Xiuhe entered, he saw his roommates were waving at him. Only Lao San didn’t even turn his head, seeming like he was still reluctant.
He went up and put the fruit in front of Lao San. His expression was even worse than Lao San’s. “My mother is giving it to you.”
When Lao San saw this foul expression, he was about to lose his temper right then and there. Lao Da saw it and quickly said, “Okay, it’s just a stupid matter, bros don’t have overnight feuds. Your matter was already finished last night, don’t bring it up again.”
Lao San said, “No, you guys tell me, with this matter, who was in the right, and who was in the wrong? I said two words, and he rushed down directly to hit me? ”
Lu Xiuhe took a seat, “Who the hell told you to talk about Zuo Zhen?”
“What about Zuo Zhen? Is he your dad ah? ”
Lao Da hurriedly said, “Okay ah…”
Lu Xiuhe broke apart his chopsticks, “He’s not my father, he’s my idol!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him fell quiet. The roommates all looked at each other for a while.
“…… Your idol? ” Lao San was also puzzled, “When did he become your idol?”
“These past few months.” Lu Xiuhe said, “Anyway, I won’t let you talk bad about him.”
“……” Lao San paused. “Then it’s still not okay since I didn’t fucking know what was going on ah. If you have something to say, you can just say it, but you had to lash out.”
Lu Xiuhe was too lazy to keep talking to him, so he took out his cellphone out of habit, wanting to see the chat record of the fan support group. As soon as he opened it, he saw the latest message below.
[God ah, I asked the sisters in the front line, and Zhenzhen really didn’t go back to Jincheng with the other team members! ]
Lu Xiuhe froze, opened the chat box just wanting to ask, found that he couldn’t send his message.
[You have been removed from “Zuo Zhen Support Group” by Big Fan]
[Big Fan: Lulu, since you’ve already left the fandom, I’ll take you out of the groupchat first. I’m afraid that the chat records will be leaked, so there are more restrictions on the groupchat now. Please understand. If you want to chat with others, I can pull you into other smaller groupchats. ]
Lu Xiuhe didn’t have the heart to enter any smaller groupchats.
[It’s okay. Um, I saw that they said Zuo Zhen didn’t go back to Jincheng. Is that true? ]
[Big Fan: Yes, I went to do the airport meetup myself, but I didn’t see Zhen Zhen. I asked some others, and they said that the ticket wasn’t cancelled, just that the person himself didn’t get on the plane. ]
Zuo Zhen actually didn’t go back?
Why? It couldn’t be that he was still ill and had developed problems from the fever?
He couldn’t have already gone to the hospital ba?
Manyang, this small place, didn’t have any big events even after 180 years. He couldn’t think of any other reason for Zuo Zhen to stay here.
Lu Xiuhe’s thoughts were chaotically bouncing around, but his body was the first to react.
“He Zi, where are you going?” When Lao Da saw him standing up, he thought it was strange and said, “None of the dishes have even arrived.”
“I……” Lu Xiuhe paused, “I suddenly thought of a very important matter, I have to go. You guys take your time and keep the receipt. This meal will be my treat. ”
With that, he ignored the calls of the people behind him, turned around, and hurried out of the restaurant.
He couldn’t sit still. He planned to take a look at the hotel where Zuo Zhen was staying.
He would just ring the doorbell and run away, just to see if Zuo Zhen was still there, and he wouldn’t do anything else…That way, it couldn’t trouble him ba.
It was noon when school was letting out, and he couldn’t squeeze onto the bus at all. Lu Xiuhe took out his cellphone to call a DiDi, when he heard someone behind him call out to him, “Xiuhe?”
The voice was inexplicably familiar. Lu Xiuhe turned around and indeed saw a girl who was in the same elective course as him.
When his female classmate saw him, she immediately smiled, her eyes curving up. “Where are you going?”
“I have something I need to do.” Lu Xiuhe replied.
“What something, do you need my help?” His female classmate asked.
“No need, I can manage it alone…”
“It’s fine. I don’t have anything to do at noon right now anyway.” The female classmate coughed softly.
It was actually no coincidence that she would run into Lu Xiuhe here.
She moved forward, her cheeks a little warm. “And…I happen to have something to tell you. ”
His cellphone beeped, prompting him to call for a car. He asked in a hurry, “What do you need to tell me ah, you can say it now ba. I can’t ask others for help on this matter, so I won’t trouble you.”
The girl froze, not clear in that moment if the other side didn’t understand her or if he was playing dumb.
Lu Xiuhe waited for ten seconds and then said, “Um, the DiDi I called is here. If you don’t have anything…”
Before he finished speaking, the girl put something in his arms.
“Then forget it, I’ll tell you next time ba.” His female classmate said with some embarrassment. “I’ll give this to you, it’s for you.”
Lu Xiuhe froze and was just about to say something, when his gaze suddenly swept onto someone’s figure, in front of the bakery not far away.
The figure was tall and straight, the man’s neck was straight and white, and the lower edge of the hat seemed to show a little pink.
Lu Xiuhe’s eyes widened.
The female classmate bowed her head and continued, “Although it doesn’t seem to be very useful in Manyang, I……”
“Um, I’m sorry.” Lu Xiuhe couldn’t wait to hear her out. He patted the girl on the shoulder and said, “I’m in a bit of a hurry, so I’m leaving first now! If you have something, we’ll talk later ah. ”
The girl looked up in shock and opened her mouth. She just felt a gust of wind passing by her side, and once she returned to her senses, there wasn’t even a shadow of Lu Xiuhe still in front of her.
Lu Xiuhe didn’t even run as fast during the college entrance examinations physical section as he did now.
He was afraid if he slowed down, that person would be gone.
That figure was in a hurry, but he didn’t run as fast as he did. Lu Xiuhe finally grabbed the man’s shoulder at the corner.
The other party paused, and not only did he not stop, but his pace grew faster.
Lu Xiuhe hurried forward two steps, turned to block the man from his front, and just met the eyes of the other party exposed above his mask.
He could recognize this person even if only one eyelash was showing.
“You…” Running too fast, Lu Xiuhe was panting a bit. He looked at the person in front of him with shining eyes, “How are you here?”
Zuo Zhen’s eyes were very calm. He only took a look at him and said, “Passing by.”
“It’s half an hour from your hotel…”
“I heard that the snail vermicelli here is very delicious,” Zuo Zhen said
Lu Xiuhe only then noticed that the other party still had a plastic bag in his hand. Looking at the packaging, it really was snail vermicelli.
He had mentioned this shop to Zuo Zhen before.
“Oh…” Lu Xiuhe stared blankly then said, “That shop’s peppers are especially spicy, you didn’t put in too much ba.”
“No.” Zuo Zhen said, “Did you find me for something?”
“Ah?”
“If not, I’m heading back.”
“……” Lu Xiuhe was silent for a long time. “Nothing really…”
“En.” Zuo Zhen said, turning around and planning to leave.
“Right.” Lu Xiuhe said then blurted out, “Is your fever done?”
“En.”
Lu Xiuhe said nothing again, “Oh.”
After a few steps, Zuo Zhen heard the person behind him coming up again.
“Zuo Zhen, wait.” Lu Xiuhe grabbed his wrist, as if he finally couldn’t hold back anymore and asked him, “….Why did you suddenly delete my QQ ah? ”
Zuo Zhen: “…”
“No, I mean that you could let me know before you delete it, not to not let you delete it.” Lu Xiuhe said, “I… I just want to keep the chat records. ”
“There’s no need,” said Zuo Zhen.
“……”
Two big men pulling and pushing each other had already attracted a little attention from the people around them. Zuo Zhen pulled on the brim of his hat and said, “I’m going. Goodbye.”
He finished saying that and planned to leave, but the grip on his wrist by the person behind him suddenly tightened, and he couldn’t break free.
Zuo Zhen turned around, his tone already a little impatient, “Lu Xiuhe…”
He just called his name, then lost his voice.
Lu Xiuhe was staring blankly at him. The big young man with a buzzcut was so aggrieved that even the tip of his nose had turned red, and even his eyes were a bit red.
Meeting Zuo Zhen’s glossy black eyes, Lu Xiuhe only then came back to his senses. He let out an “oh” and quickly let go, “Sorry ah.”
He completely had no idea that his expression didn’t look right. “I just wanted to tell you that there is a milk tea shop near my school. The milk tea there is very delicious. If you want to drink it…”
“Lu Xiuhe.” Zuo Zhen called out to him again.
“Alright ba, if you don’t want to drink it, that’s fine too.”
“What’s wrong with your face?”
“…… Ah? ”
“Your face.” Zuo Zhen repeated.
“Oh, you’re talking about that ah.” Lu Xiuhe answered resentfully, “Fought with someone, got hurt.”
Zuo Zhen frowned, “Didn’t you say that you were an invincible fighter back in junior high school?”
“That was junior high school. I’m in college now.”
“You also know that you’re in college now.” Although Zuo Zhen’s voice was still cold, at least he wasn’t turning his head and leaving. “Why did you get into a fight?”
“……”
“Talk ah.”
If this was normal times, Lu Xiuhe would definitely lie, but now he wanted to get back the chat record, so he weighed the matter and finally said honestly, “That person cursed you out.”
“Him cursing me out, what does that have to do with you?”
“You’re my ex ah.”
“……”
Lu Xiuhe took a deep breath, “Even if you tricked me, but we…for better or worse we also count as having been together, and I definitely can’t listen to others talk bad about you.”
Zuo Zhen was silent for a long time, then he suddenly snorted, “Then you still really remember old feelings. Did you win or lose the fight?”
“Just, half and half ba.”
Zuo Zhen stood in place and looked at the injury on his face for a while.
Lu Xiuhe didn’t know what to say. The two of them were silent for a while when Zuo Zhen’s cellphone suddenly rang.
Lu Xiuhe already had lowered his head and just happened to see the caller ID. It was “Assistant”.
Zuo Zhen didn’t pick it up. He looked away, locked the screen, and said, “Leaving.”
The soles of Lu Xiuhe’s feet were like stones with a weight of a thousand jin. They couldn’t move any more. What other reasons did he have for keeping this person here. “Oh…”
After separating this time, he didn’t know when he would be able to see him again.
As soon as he had this idea, he had a lot more courage. He simply raised his head and stared at Zuo Zhen, thinking that he needed to remember this entire person.
Such a good person, and he didn’t know if he could meet him again in the future, so it wasn’t bad to give him a few more looks.
Who knew that Zuo Zhen just stood in place, letting him look at him.
Half a minute later, Zuo Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, “Let’s go ah.”
Lu Xiuhe froze, “….go where? ”
Zuo Zhen said, “To buy milk tea.”
