The Two Strategists Are Dueling

While picking up a meal for her, Lu Xiaoman's sweet, innocent roommate, Lin Haohao, got a crush on someone. She said he was astonishingly handsome, probably around six feet tall, maybe had an eight-pack, and apparently didn't have a girlfriend. Lu Xiaoman: "You said, probably, maybe, apparently?" "Could be your imagination, shoe inserts, or wishful thinking. You need to find out!" Lin Haohao pulled out her phone. "I got his WeChat." Lu Xiaoman: "He gave it to you just like that? Scumbag! Delete him!" Lin Haohao: "He only gave it to me because something happened. Xiaoman, how do I ask if he has a girlfriend?" Lu Xiaoman: "I'll tell you what to send." "Bro, do you have a girlfriend? Have you dated before? Do you plan to date in college?" Lin Haohao: "Bro?" Lu Xiaoman: "Then... sis?" They stared at each other, wide-eyed. Meanwhile, in the men's dorm. Song Xuezhen propped his head up and asked, "So you're saying you pretended to bump into the girl you have a crush on at the cafeteria, and then she asked for your WeChat?" Shen Yu nodded. Song Xuezhen gave a humorless laugh. "Haha, congratulations. Now get lost and go date her." Shen Yu: "She got candied hawthorn all over me, so she added me to pay for my clothes." "How should I talk to her?" Song Xuezhen: "Open your phone. I'll tell you what to send." "Your classmate's clothes cost 108,000. I'll give you a discount and charge you 180,000. If you can't afford it, you could try winning over this extortionist with love." Shen Yu: "?" After their respective wingmen plotted and schemed, Lin Haohao and Shen Yu somehow managed to get together. For their first date, they each brought along the wingman who had played such a vital role in their relationship by getting in the way. Song Xuezhen put on his sunglasses. "Don't worry about me. Just be happy, heh." Shen Yu: "...They're here." Lu Xiaoman entered first. Song Xuezhen grabbed Shen Yu by the collar. "Wait, aren't you dating Lu Xiaoman? Didn't you call her 'Haohao'?!" Shen Yu calmly pointed to Lin Haohao beside Lu Xiaoman. Song Xuezhen: "..." "Haha, this?" He gave an awkward laugh and smoothed Shen Yu's collar. "What a mess. For a second, I thought I was going to have to be the third wheel in your relationship." Lin Haohao whispered, "Xiaoman, do you know his friend?" Lu Xiaoman: "...He lives next door to me." "Let me introduce this one." Song Xuezhen casually draped an arm over Lu Xiaoman's shoulder and smiled. "The idiot Lu Xiaoman, who's been copying my homework since we were kids, even copying my name." Lu Xiaoman expressionlessly raised a hand and grabbed him by the throat. "Then let me introduce this one. The useless Song Xuezhen, who couldn't even beat my dog in a fight when we were kids." Song Xuezhen: "But you have an Alaskan Malamute!" *Steel-spined straight girl Lu Xiaoman x sharp-tongued king Song Xuezhen Straightforward sweetie Lin Haohao x pure-hearted cool guy Shen Yu Reader's note: Written as college students, but really it's a chaotic elementary-school romance. They have crushes but can't stop being mean. Giving in is impossible, and neither of them will ever say anything sweet. The vibe is probably sweet romance in front, battlefield chaos behind. If you're okay with that, enjoy reading =3= Theme: Sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
