4 Chapter 4: Confession Fever Part II (1/2)
Upon returning to the library, Meng Fan did not search for a spot to sit. Instead, he proceeded to look at books, all the while scouting for appropriate targets, appropriate locations, and appropriate time for his next attack.
As he observed his surroundings, Meng Fan stopped in his tracks. He almost bumped into the person in front of him. Even more conveniently, his fake browsing hand motion landed on the same book as the person.
Meng Fan froze. The girl across from him also froze.
Could this be more timely!
This was one of the most common tricks used in TV shows and dramas, and Meng Fan was lucky enough to have encountered it himself!
'Can one pass up an opportunity like this?'
The girl was delicate looking, and flushing with embarrassment as she awkwardly smiled at Meng Fan. Freckles adorned her cheeks, which underneath the blush made her even more adorable.
Just one look in her eyes confirmed that she was another eligible confession victim.
”Everyone says each book is a different world.”
Meng Fan handed the book to the small girl, his skin already thick enough to urge a smile at her. ”After meeting you, I want to give this book and the whole world to you.”
”What?”
The cute girl stared in disbelief at the overweight guy that so boldly approached her.
Still, he had to finish what he started.
”Be my girlfriend!”
Meng Fan for once was domineering in his tone.
”Sorry, I like someone else.”
The cute girl dropped the book. She immediately turned and left.
'Yes, another one!'
Meng Fan was considerably happy, as he was only one more confession away from completing task phase 2.
'Just one more confession…'
Contracting jumps in his steps, Meng Fan continued to search for his next target. He turned around and almost hit another person.
The opportunity practically fell in his lap. 'How convenient... Wait no, it's a guy.'
”Come on bro, that's some BS!”
The guy he bumped into wore gold-rimmed glasses and had hair so slick not a strand was out of place. His serious expression hid any trace of excitement despite his obvious incomprehensibility. He said to Meng Fan, ”Man, how many girls are you trying to woo, I alone already saw six! You're casting your net a little too wide? Rather kill all then let one escape? The most damned is that you're absolutely fine after being rejected; such spirit, I respect that! ”
”Six?”
Meng Fan's face flushed red as he heard those words. ”Classmate, the library is a place to read books, can't you do something right, if you're not gonna read at least stop looking at people!”
Huh.
The guy recognized Meng Fan's thick-skinned attitude and became more interested in him. He smiled and said, ”Let me introduce myself. I am an observer of the socially marginalized. I go by Yu Xiao Yu.”
As he spoke the words ”socially marginalized” he formed quotation marks with his peace sign fingers.
Xiao Yu reached out his hand and continued, ”Can we talk for a bit? Of course, you can treat this as an interview as well.”
Meng Fan was curious. ”Interview? You're a journalist?”
Yu Xiao Yu slicked back his shiny hair and said, ”I am the moderator of the BBS Forum at Hangzhou University, with over 300,000 followers on my public profile.”
”F*ck, you're that Xiao Yu Yu! If I accept your interview, will I become famous right away?”
Meng Fan's excitement took over his face. He suddenly pointed behind Yu Xiao Yu. ”UFO!”
Yu Xiao Yu turned to look, only returning to see that Meng Fan had slipped away. He couldn't help but laugh for he was tricked in such a stupid way. 'Hahahaha, how interesting indeed.'
Meng Fan didn't care much for Yu Xiao Yu. Whether he was a board member or how many followers he had, there was no way he would accept some dumbass interview.
It was still an oven outside, but Meng Fan didn't care anymore; he had to leave the library.
Who the hell would have thought there would be someone more disgusting than himself inside the library, looking around for specimens to interview instead of reading books.
