My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister - Chapter 325 - 217: Li Bing Reveals the Truth, Jiangg Is a Twin, Right?

“That’s true… sigh.”

Wei Zhen sighed and scratched his forehead in frustration.

He had been so angry with Liu Nan that he’d impulsively decided to move out and rent his own place. Now that he had calmed down, he realized it was an immature idea.

He’d worked hard to save up a little money, but it was nowhere near enough to be reckless. A short period of extravagant spending, and his wallet would be completely empty.

He had earned over ten thousand from his part-time job, but after buying clothes, he was already down to eight thousand—those little skirts were so expensive. Before making his decision, Wei Zhen hadn’t realized the rent near the university town was so high. If he really moved out, that eight thousand would only last him a few months.

Without a doubt, he would be trapped in a cycle of constantly working just to pay rent. And what about his studies?

The kind of iron man who could juggle multiple jobs without it affecting their schoolwork only existed in inspirational bestsellers. Those were just for show.

Besides, if he got a shared apartment, he’d have to deal with new roommates and build new relationships, and he wasn’t particularly good at socializing to begin with.

But he had already dragged Quan Yafeng along, and they had even looked at a few places. Wouldn’t he lose a lot of face if he just went back to the dorm now like nothing happened?

At this thought, Wei Zhen fell silent and turned to stare out the window.

Inside the car, Chen Yuan could clearly sense that Wei Zhen was already wavering. That meant his mission to smooth things over was already halfway complete.

Guys don’t usually hold so many grudges. As long as someone acted as a mediator, most conflicts could be easily resolved.

Chen Yuan glanced at Liu Nan’s sour expression and sneered inwardly.

’Wei Zhen should really teach him a lesson. The guy has no filter. He’s always the one starting trouble and making others clean up his messes. He’s caused the “dads” of the dorm no end of worry.’

“Since we’re all here, we should find something fun to do. We can’t just wander the streets,” Chen Yuan suggested.

“How about we go for coffee? I heard a new place opened recently. They have a group discount, and it’s half-price for girls. There are probably a lot of cute girls there.”

“Cute girls!?” Upon hearing Wei Zhen say this, Liu Nan got excited. “Let’s go, let’s go! We have to go.”

“I’m not going.” Seeing his reaction, Wei Zhen’s expression instantly changed, and he went back to coldly staring out the window.

“…”

“How about we get something to eat?”

“It’s not time yet, Boss. We just had lunch. We could find something to do first, then eat.”

“How about a five-stack at the internet cafe? We haven’t played together in ages.”

“There are only four of us, though.”

“Then let’s play PUBG! A four-man squad, die right after landing! How’s that for a suggestion?”

“I’m fine with that.”

“Me too.”

“Hmph.”

“Let’s go, then! Since no one objects, it’s off to the internet cafe!”

The semester hadn’t started yet, so everyone had arrived early. They had plenty of time for some team-building.

Their college years were probably the most carefree time for these fun-loving young men. Once they entered the workforce and started to work like dogs, they wouldn’t have time for most get-togethers.

By then, they would surely miss these days, when they could act on a whim without a single worry in the world.

Still, if they ever had the chance to get together again, each with their own girlfriend or wife, and kids in tow for those who had them, that would be its own special kind of joy.

But for the most part, college classmates scatter to the four corners of the earth, and the opportunities to meet again become few and far between.

…

「A few hours later.」

“Stop looting the crate! Can you revive me first? The zone is about to close in!”

“Chill out! I’m looting for smoke grenades. How am I supposed to revive you on the bridge without smokes? You could at least crawl a bit.”

“Crawl where?! There’s a guy with a machine gun pinning me down from across the bridge! A single spray turned me into swiss cheese.”

“Shh, be quiet…”

Chen Yuan signaled for Liu Nan to shut up. His expression was serious as he took cover behind a wrecked jeep. He was already pre-aiming, just waiting to peek out and land a Magnum headshot.

They had played seven or eight matches, and this was by far their most kitted one. They’d landed at the military base, and the four of them had worked together to wipe the entire place out. In the process, Liu Nan had been knocked down three times. The only things he knew how to shout were “Revive me, revive me!” and “He’s one-shot!”—even if he’d only landed a single bullet, the enemy was always “one-shot.”

Leaving the base, looted to the gills, the four of them piled into a jeep and went whooping and hollering to go camp the bridge.

On the way, they ran into an airdrop, which led to a fierce battle.

The match was halfway over, with fewer than thirty players left. At least two-thirds of them were gathered around the bridge.

Now, grenades and explosives were being thrown onto the bridge every ten seconds or so. Chen Yuan’s squad, having arrived first, had become everyone’s primary target, caught in the middle with no way to retreat.

“Heal up as soon as you’re revived and hide in the back.”

“Okay, okay, let me just throw a smoke grenade first.”

“Huh? Did I just hear someone throw a grenade at our feet… Or am I hearing things?”

“Fuck you! Liu Nan, did you throw a smoke or a frag grenade?!”

“You just blew up Chen Yuan! He’s our best player, you animal!”

When the four of them played as a premade squad, their defining feature was pure, unadulterated chaos.

Amidst a storm of curses, the squad’s most kitted-out attempt at bridge-camping ended in failure.

Chen Yuan collapsed bonelessly into his gaming chair. Liu Nan’s single grenade had completely obliterated his will to play.

You’re not afraid of a strong enemy; you’re afraid of a trash teammate!

They gamed for the entire afternoon. The intense focus required was just as mentally draining as a workout or a run. By the time they left the internet cafe, they were all starving.

During that time, the tension between Liu Nan and Wei Zhen had, of course, eased.

Originally, Chen Yuan had planned to use the cheerful mood to finally sort out the housing issue over dinner. But to his surprise, as they stepped out of the internet cafe, Quan Yafeng suddenly called out to Wei Zhen.

“Wei Zhen,” the Boss said, hesitating slightly. “Why don’t you give up on living outside? Come back to the dorm tonight. If you really want, I’ll hold his head down and make him apologize to you again.”
