Chapter 010: Turning on Her Right Away

"Shutong, have you noticed that Chen Yuan seems to be getting more and more popular? First, Zhao Yuqi gave him her WeChat, and now even Xu Lele from the School of Art has come to look for him on her own initiative. Since when did he become so charming? Do people know that his family got a windfall from demolition?" Sun Rui, Lin Shutong's best friend, whispered behind her.

Lin Shutong didn't say a word, looking at Chen Yuan and Xu Lele chatting and laughing. She was either angry or something. She deliberately walked past them. She wanted Chen Yuan to know that she was angry. She wanted Chen Yuan to be like before. Whenever he noticed she was unhappy, he would come running over to coax and please her!

This time, Chen Yuan seemed to not notice her at all. He just kept chatting and laughing with Xu Lele. Sometimes, girls have a really strange psychological hint. The less popular a guy is, the less they think of him. They think this guy is short, ugly, and poor. If others don't want him, of course, they won't either. But if a guy is popular and other girls like him, then he must have his own charm and talent, and they should get to know him better. This kind of psychological hint is often subconscious. What you can't get is good. What others are vying for, you also want. This is one of the reasons why a simp ends up with nothing, while a playboy often thrives.

And now, after suffering an emotional blow, Chen Yuan has started to transform from an honest guy into a playboy. In his opinion, being a playboy and a simp don't seem to conflict. He calls it "simp - playboy."

"It seems your ex - girlfriend Lin Shutong is a bit unhappy. Don't you want to go and comfort her?" Xu Lele said casually. Since Lin Shutong deliberately passed by just now, she had been secretly on guard. This woman was clearly a bit of a manipulative type. She was always looking for something better while already having something. Now that Chen Yuan was the prey she had her eyes on, she couldn't let Lin Shutong snatch him away.

"No need. Since she's my ex - girlfriend, it's not appropriate for me to comfort her." Chen Yuan spread his hands. He thought these two women were both difficult to deal with! If it were the old him, he really couldn't handle such manipulative women. But now, as long as he could keep his heart in check and not get emotionally involved, he could remain invincible. Anyway, in his eyes, they were all just "tools" for him to spend money. With this thought, Chen Yuan felt his mind became much clearer.

"Sure enough, I'm still too young. Xu Lele's one painting almost made me waver." Chen Yuan shook his head inwardly.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, do you usually like watching live - broadcasts?" Walking on the tree - lined path on campus, Xu Lele started to ask indirectly.

"Live - broadcasts? Not very often. I just take a look when I'm bored and have nothing to do."

"Oh! Which platforms do you usually watch?"

"Shark, Douyin, Longya, etc. But I watch Shark more often."

Just as she thought. Xu Lele seemed to be more certain of what she had in mind.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, actually, I also want to be a streamer. I heard that female streamers can make a lot of money these days."

"That's great. It shows you're self - reliant. If you start streaming one day, let me know. I'll support you."

"Really? You're so nice, Brother Xiaoyuan!" As she spoke, Xu Lele had already hooked her arm around Chen Yuan's. With a big smile on her face, her hot figure and pretty face attracted the attention of many passing students.

Just then, a big boy about 1.8 meters tall, fair - skinned, gentle - looking, and sunny - handsome, walked towards Xu Lele and Chen Yuan with a face full of anger. His eyes were blood - red, looking like he had been betrayed and deceived.

"Xu Lele, didn't you say you were going to get your nails done with your best friend today? Why did you lie to me? Who is this guy?"

"Wang Yu, it's none of your business who I'm with. You're not my boyfriend."

"But you promised to watch a movie with me the other day. Why did you go back on your word? Do you girls never keep your promises? Senior Lele, I've been chasing you for half a year. Why are you always like this? Am I just a backup guy in your eyes?" Wang Yu looked sad and indignant, with tears in his eyes. Men don't cry easily, but when they're really hurt, they do.

"Don't flatter yourself, Junior Wang Yu. Did I ask you to chase me? Every time you try to pick up a girl, you just invite her to watch a movie. Do you know that I've watched that movie you mentioned more than ten times? I'm so sick of it. I really don't want to waste my time with you." Xu Lele's words were quite harsh. Even Chen Yuan couldn't help but frown. From this junior, he seemed to see himself in the past. Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly shook off Xu Lele's arm.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, you...?"

"Xu Lele, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Is it fun to play with a guy's feelings? Watching a movie more than ten times? With whom? I'm really disappointed in you!"

"Brother Xiaoyuan, listen to me explain."

"No need to explain. Do you think you can be proud just because there are many people chasing you? Let me tell you, when a piece of meat stinks, there are more flies around it. Humph!" Chen Yuan snorted and walked away in big steps, not listening to any of Xu Lele's explanations. Even the sketch she gave him was casually thrown into the trash can.

By now, Chen Yuan didn't care about Xu Lele's favorability towards him at all. Anyway, he just wanted to vent his anger, and it felt so good to scold a beauty to her face. As a man, he should have an attitude and principles. Chen Yuan's attitude of turning his back on her stunned many onlookers.

"Damn, that guy is really something. He actually dared to scold such a beautiful girl to her face? I definitely couldn't bear to scold her even a little bit. I'd hold her in my hands like she's made of glass."

"You guys don't understand. This is what a real man is like. You can't spoil women too much."

"Tsk, what kind of man is he? He has no grace at all. He doesn't know how to cherish girls. He deserves to be single forever." A girl said, frowning.

Before long, Xu Lele picked up the sketch from the trash can. Her eyes were red, with faint tears glistening. She looked very pitiful.

"Lele, that man doesn't cherish you at all. Don't waste your time on him. I'm the one who treats you the best!" Seeing this scene, Wang Yu suddenly started to comfort her like a simp again.

"Get lost! If it weren't for you, Chen Yuan wouldn't have misunderstood. I hate you!"

"Lele, what exactly did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this?" Wang Yu became more and more sad as he spoke. He felt that he was in no way inferior to Chen Yuan. In terms of appearance, temper, and temperament, what was wrong with him? But why didn't Xu Lele like him?

At this moment, Xu Lele felt extremely regretful. She had gradually figured out Chen Yuan's background. He was definitely a man with unfathomable wealth. She originally wanted to play hard - to - get and make this man fall in love with her hopelessly. But before she could even use any of her tricks, this man turned on her right away. The cooked duck flew away? She suddenly felt very heartbroken and wanted to make amends. She had to explain this misunderstanding clearly, or she would be restless. Maybe Xu Lele herself didn't realize that her mind was now full of Chen Yuan.
