Chapter 16: XY
As usual, after taking a shower, Liu Beige crawled into bed, set up a small table, and prepared to surf the internet on her laptop.
As soon as I opened QQ, I saw that profile picture I'd been longing for constantly flashing, and I instantly felt a sweet feeling in my heart...
[Smooth Sailing: Honey~ How's the new computer? It's a limited edition Lenovo Olympic collaboration model; I had to ask a friend to help me get it.]
Liu Beige's slender, white fingers brushed across the milky-white body of the machine, the delicate touch making her even happier.
[Gege is also: It's great, I like it very much.]
[Smooth Road: I'm glad you like it! By the way, the weather's been getting colder lately, let's go to a hot spring this weekend. Remember to bring your bikini {evil grin}]
[Gege: {Eye roll} You have ulterior motives! You're so mean~]
[Smooth Road Ahead: I admit I'm bad, but I'm only bad to you!]
[Gege: Hmph~ Since you're so wicked, when are you planning to keep a mistress in a gilded cage? I'm so annoyed living in this dorm, a bunch of gossipy old women!]
[Smooth Sailing: Haha~ Didn't I already promise you? I'll buy you a house as soon as my funds are back! You can go and see if you like any of them. But don't look at small apartments, look at townhouses and villas! My princess always deserves the best!]
[Gege is here: Hehe~ I love you so much! {Kiss}]
[Smooth Road Ahead: I'm still working overtime, you should go to bed early.]
[Gege is here: Mm, don't work too hard!]
Just as Liu Beige was immersed in the sweetness of love, a sudden angry shout came.
"Liu Beige! Why didn't you clean the bathroom after you showered? I almost slipped and fell!"
She frowned, her good mood instantly ruined, and said angrily, "You're such a grown man, can't you see if there's water on the ground? You deserve to fall and die!"
"What did you say? You slut!"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing."
"Hey, Berg, could you be a little more careful next time? The dorm belongs to everyone, you..."
"..."
Liu Beige couldn't be bothered to listen to their noise. She simply put on her headphones and thought, "Whatever! I'm moving out soon, I'm not going to hang out with you gossipy old women!"
Remembering her sweetheart's suggestion to look at apartments online first, Liu Beige opened Jiangcheng's largest local forum, "Lou Shang Lou Xia," and happily started browsing the real estate section...
[Jiangbin District, Neon City, 89㎡, 135 million RMB including high-end decoration]
[Linhu District, Nandu Imperial View, 125㎡, 500 million RMB, parking space included]
[Shangcheng District, Baima Garden, 180㎡, 630 million RMB, luxury renovation, two parking spaces]
I spent all four seasons with him, but he said, "Sorry, you're just a mistress."
"Hmm?" Among a huge pile of housing listings, this title suddenly popped up, instantly catching Liu Beige's attention, and she immediately clicked on it...
……
I don't know what I was feeling when I wrote these words. From the moment I learned the truth until now, my whole body has been trembling uncontrollably.
Let's call him "X" for now, dear X, the man who ruined my life!
I met X on a sunny afternoon, and I still remember how bright the sun was that day.
At that time, I had just graduated from university and had gone through renting an apartment, looking for a job, and had just settled myself down. I was adapting to the transition from student to adult.
X suddenly entered my life like a typhoon. He was gentle, mature, handsome, and wealthy, fulfilling all my fantasies about my future partner.
We got together very quickly. During our honeymoon phase, we were inseparable. We watched movies together, ate delicious food together, traveled together, and dreamed about the future together.
On our first anniversary after we started dating, he even bought me a house!
At that time, I was surrounded by a huge sense of happiness, thinking that I had found my lifelong partner. I fantasized about having children for him and becoming a virtuous wife and loving mother.
But when I proposed, he always said to wait, to wait, and I foolishly waited until that day…
At Jiangcheng Building, I saw him with my own eyes holding a beautiful woman's hand and a cute child in his arms.
Under my persistent questioning, he finally admitted that he actually already had a family, and that I was just a canary he kept in a gilded cage.
It was only at that moment that I realized I had become the "other woman" in other people's eyes!
After hysterical arguments, his painful pleas, and countless promises of divorce, I compromised, accepted my status as the other woman, and began to happily be his kept woman.
For years, I couldn't confide in anyone about my troubles, nor could I express the pain in my heart...
The only reason I can comfort myself to continue this kind of life is that at least he is still willing to guarantee me a comfortable material life.
But a scumbag is always a scumbag. As I grew older and my looks faded, he came to see me less and less.
Until recently, he said he had adopted a younger canary and hoped I would disappear from his life…
Hehe~
I no longer want to comment on right and wrong. All I want now is to sell the house he bought for me and leave this place that caused me so much pain!
Yuhang District, 348㎡ townhouse, 300 million RMB including high-end renovation, with two parking spaces. Please DM me if interested!
……
"What? After looking for so long, it's just another listing! But it's kind of interesting. A townhouse?"
Liu Beige thought for a moment and sent a private message to the user with the ID "Easily Hurt Woman".
……
"Aren't you going home yet?" Li Jing glanced at the time; it was already past nine o'clock at night. He then asked Chen Yuanzhou, who was sitting on the other side.
Chen Yuanzhou smiled and said, "Brother Li, let me check out some more good properties. You can go ahead now. I'll lock the door in a bit."
"Tsk tsk~" Li Jing couldn't help but admire, "You just closed a deal and you're still working so hard, you're really energetic! It's good to be young! Unlike me, I'm already exhausted."
"How could that be? Since I arrived at the store, I feel that you, Brother Li, are the most insightful. What you're experiencing isn't fatigue, it's contentment." Chen Yuanzhou declined the praise and responded with a bit of flattery: "I'm a newbie, and I'm counting on you, Brother Li, to share your experience and give me more guidance in the future."
"Hey~ that's easy to say. But I don't think I can work for more than two years. Once the house in my hometown is finished, I'll go back home." Li Jing said, his eyes sparkling with longing.
"Okay, you get back to work, I'm leaving now."
After Li Jing left, Chen Yuanzhou continued to monitor the private messages in the forum's backend.
The post in the 【Upstairs and Downstairs】 section was made by him. Zhang Jun's KFC family bucket reminded him of "Crazy Thursday".
In Chen Yuanzhou's view, the various copywriting styles that evolved after "Crazy Thursday" became a meme are simply a marketing miracle, so he decided to learn from it.
However, the power of the "gossip mode" was somewhat beyond Chen Yuanzhou's imagination...
It's only 2008, after all. When have netizens ever seen this type of thing before?
Although Chen Yuanzhou's fabricated stories were far from reliable and the copy he wrote in a short time was very poor, they still attracted a lot of attention in a very short period of time!
Within just half an hour of posting, Chen Yuanzhou received a large number of replies and a barrage of private message notifications.
[Knowing three and treating three?]
[His name is X? Then your name must be Y, right? You two are in the same quadrant!]
[To the person upstairs: XY doesn't necessarily represent quadrants; it could also represent chromosomes.]
What's wrong with women these days? They're clearly after money, but when they get dumped, they act all pitiful.
Sister, could you introduce me to your X? I don't want to work hard anymore.
[Given that X is gentle, mature, handsome, and wealthy, find Y's height, weight, leg length, and cup size.]
[Don't go off-topic! This is about real estate. A fully furnished townhouse for under 9000 per square meter? Is it really that cheap?]
