Don't Fight with Your Nemesis When Your Internet Is Bad

Ling Xu is obsessed with abs. While studying abroad, his classmates loved throwing parties, but he preferred scrolling through videos of people showing off their abs.

And the great thing about being abroad was that there were both white-chocolate and dark-chocolate types, all with incredibly good physiques.

Then one day, he accidentally sent an ab video he'd found to his nemesis, Shen Guye.

S.GY: "You dare post a body like that online? Only someone like you would watch it."

Ling: "?"

Ling Xu cursed out the shameless jerk.

Halfway through, a picture of a pair of nearly perfect, honey-toned abs suddenly appeared on his screen.

Ling Xu was shocked and furious. He started typing a scathing reply.

But as he kept arguing, Ling Xu felt that their conversation was completely off the rails.

Shen Guye even asked out of nowhere if he liked him.

Ling Xu decided he was dealing with a lunatic. He simply shut off his phone, ignored Shen Guye, and went to sleep.

The next morning, his best friend hit him with a question as soon as he saw him: "Shen Guye says you like him. Is that true?"

Ling Xu was astonished, then furious.

He found the culprit at school and was about to teach him a lesson.

Shen Guye opened their chat with an innocent look on his face.

S.GY: "You dare post a body like that online? Only someone like you would watch it."

Ling: "Let me see your body."

S.GY: "Abs photo.jpg"

Ling: "So hot!!!"

- "Voice call, 00:19" -

S.GY: "Why are you so much meaner on the phone than in chat?"

Ling: "I'm shy."

Ling Xu: ???

He glanced at his own chat, where the messages were completely different.

"Let me see your body." "It's absolutely unbearable to look at."

"Are you" "under the impression" "that you're so hot!!!"

"I'm shy." "You" "jerk!!!"

What was going on?

Was the damn campus network glitching again?

But when he saw Shen Guye's face, which showed no sign of "disgust," Ling Xu, who had been ready to blow up, had a change of heart and came up with a plan.

◇

Later, Ling Xu swallowed his irritation and started chasing Shen Guye.

He thought that once he got Shen Guye to fall for him and made him unable to live without him, he would coldly dump him.

Just imagining Shen Guye looking as disbelieving as a big dog abandoned by its owner made Ling Xu feel fantastic.

Until one day, he was lying in the living room eating green grapes Shen Guye had washed, scrolling through his "boyfriend's" phone gallery, when he unexpectedly found a screenshot of their chat in a hidden album.

Ling Xu shot upright on the sofa.

That bastard Shen Guye.

He'd actually deleted their chat and tricked him!
