Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It

Chapter 395 - 394: "I Am Very Satisfied.

It’s one thing to be close online, but that doesn’t mean you can just ignore boundaries in real life. He was probably at a gathering with his actual friends. For her, a netizen he’d never met, to suddenly walk in with her boyfriend and say hello...

’Just thinking about it is awkward enough.’

Huang Feng and Qian Jia thought so too. "Then let’s just forget it. Let’s go back, my head’s a little dizzy."

Qian Jia, who rarely drank, was feeling dizzy and disoriented after just a few glasses...

Even though she didn’t plan on going to meet her online friend, since they happened to be in the same place, Xu Su still @’d Nanyang in the group chat.

She sent a "Heavens!" sticker, then typed out a message: "Master, are you at Moon Eating Building? I happen to be eating here too. What a coincidence, right?"

After sending it, Xu Su locked her phone and left the private room, hurried along by Huang Feng and Qian Jia.

Xu Su had driven on the way there, but on the way back, Zhou Mochen, who hadn’t been drinking, took the wheel. Xu Su sat in the passenger seat as they first took Qian Jia and her friend home.

The car stopped in the underground garage of Hanlin Garden. Xu Su and Huang Feng helped an unsteady Qian Jia out of the car.

After seeing her safely inside, Xu Su offered a few more words of advice, telling them she would come find them tomorrow before finally heading downstairs.

Zhou Mochen was waiting in the car. When Xu Su got in, he took her hand and smilingly fished for a compliment, "So? How about a review of my performance today?"

"Very good!" Xu Su was being honest. She hadn’t expected Zhou Mochen to personally pour their drinks all night. His service was impeccable and courteous—the very picture of a refined and noble gentleman, making it impossible to find any fault.

As she thought about it, Xu Su leaned over and gave him a firm kiss on the cheek, praising him, "I’m very satisfied."

Zhou Mochen touched his cheek where she’d kissed him. He started the car with a smile and coaxed, "Then shouldn’t you give me a better reward, Susu? One kiss isn’t enough."

Xu Su blinked, instantly understanding what he meant. The memory of that embarrassing mix-up the other day made her hesitate.

"What’s wrong?" His grip on her hand tightened slightly. Zhou Mochen glanced over at her while driving, a teasing smile on his face. "Don’t be scared. We’ll follow the rules you set. I promise, no more than twice."

Her period had been going for several days and had just ended yesterday. They could have been intimate, but he’d been considerate, worrying that being too hasty might be bad for her, so he had forced himself to wait another day.

For a man who had only started being sexually active for a month or so, the torment was almost beyond words.

At the thought, Zhou Mochen stomped on the accelerator, eager to get home as quickly as possible.

But Xu Su felt a little resistant. She had been genuinely scared that day, and Shen Chen had only added fuel to the fire, causing her to not dare have a single amorous thought these past few days.

Normally, when faced with Zhou Mochen, even when she was on her period and couldn’t do anything, she would still be all over him with kisses, hugs, and cuddles...

But now, she couldn’t bring herself to truly reject him, and her heart was a mess of contradictions.

Just then, her phone screen lit up with message notifications. Xu Su took the chance to pretend she hadn’t heard him and looked down, busying herself with her phone.

Zhou Mochen was always perceptive of changes in her attitude. How could he not sense her avoidance? His eyes darkened.

’Is she tired of me? Or is it...’

His grip was starting to hurt, so Xu Su pulled her hand away. "I need both hands to type a reply. You just focus on driving."

Zhou Mochen’s lips tightened, but he said nothing.

Xu Su, however, was completely engrossed in the group chat messages and didn’t notice the change in the person beside her.

In just that short time, a stream of unread messages had appeared in the group chat, several of which @’d her.

First was Nanyang’s reply. When he found out Xu Su was eating at the same restaurant, he was very excited, clamoring to meet up in person and asking for her private room number so he could come see her.

Right after, Beiyue and You Shan also popped up in the chat.

It turned out several of them were all having dinner together. As fellow alumni of University B, they were clearly good friends in real life.

Beiyue and You Shan were both computer science students. She didn’t know about Nanyang and Liu Yun, but in any case, it seemed this group had been developing some kind of small game recently, though they hadn’t shared many details.

They had recently made some progress, and since everyone happened to be free today—mainly because Si Xuan was free—they had arranged to celebrate at Moon Eating Building. Who would have thought they would run into Xu Su, who had just arrived in Beijing and hadn’t shown her face yet, eating at the same place.

Talk about a coincidence!

In the chat, Liu Yun had @’d Xu Su several times. "Susu, which private room are you in? If you’re too shy to come find us, I’ll come find you. Just DM me your room number, and I’ll be right over."

"Don’t make me go looking for you room by room. I really want to see what you look like in real life."

Sika: "@Liu Yun is a big sister, if you see her, make sure to take a picture and send it to me. I want to see, too."

A series of "+1"s followed.

Those in Beijing and those who weren’t all chimed in to join the fun.

Ever since Xu Su’s photo was leaked, even though it wasn’t circulating online anymore, almost everyone in the elite group had a copy. The more they looked at it, the more curious they became about what she looked like in person and whether she was a "photo fraud."

Although the photo looked natural, Photoshop is incredibly advanced these days...

Since Xu Su hadn’t replied, several people couldn’t resist DMing her, especially Liu Yun and Nanyang, the two who considered themselves closer to her.

After reading the chat history, Xu Su typed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I’m not there anymore. My friend was feeling a little dizzy from the drinks and wanted to go home, so I didn’t go look for you guys."

Sika, all the way in the Lighthouse Country: "Is your boyfriend that lame? It’s still so early, and he’s already drunk?"

Liu Yun is a big sister: "You left already? Are you far? Can you still come back for a visit?"

"What a great opportunity! We could have met not only you but also your boyfriend. Why’d you finish dinner so early?"

Obviously, when Xu Su mentioned a "friend," everyone’s first thought was her boyfriend.

As for the boyfriend Xu Su had mentioned—the one who went to a high school to sweet-talk a young girl—the group’s opinion, men and women alike, was unanimous: he was a beast.

"Susu, listen to me. If this one doesn’t work out, we’ll just get a new one. Ever since I crossed the ocean to get here, I’ve discovered there are so many handsome guys around. We’re young; don’t hang yourself on one tree."

Xu Su was speechless...

’Sika!’

’She used to be such a dedicated and infatuated girl! She could like a guy from middle school all the way through high school, for a full five or six years. But after less than two months in the Lighthouse Country, she’s undergone a complete transformation.’

’She can rattle off player-like comments like that so easily now. She even posts photos of hot foreign guys in the group from time to time. In less than two months, she’s already gone through three of them...’

Xu Su was dumbfounded by her transformation.

’It was mainly just how fast it happened. If she had changed like this after a year or so, I could still understand it, but...’

’After all, this was the same person who used to proclaim her one true love was her ’male god’.’

Xu Su secretly glanced at Zhou Mochen in the driver’s seat, inwardly vowing that she would never be like that. ’Being hung up on one tree is perfectly fine.’
