Even Feng Xiaoman only knew the other person's game ID was Yaochuan and didn't know his surname.
"Huo Yaochuan."
Jiang Liuyue repeated it.
It was just three ordinary words.
But when they slowly came from her lips, they seemed to carry an unusual flavor.
Huo Yaochuan's heart rippled slightly, his palms grew warm, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
Just as he was about to speak,
Jiang Liuyue raised an eyebrow, a hint of teasing flashing in her beautiful pupils.
"I am Jiang Liuyue."
"Not your Wanyue Wanwan."
Huo Yaochuan was taken aback.
This was different from what he had imagined.
He originally thought that since Jiang Liuyue had initially pretended to be Wanwan, she would continue using that identity to interact with him.
He didn't expect her to directly pierce that thin layer of pretense right then and there.
"I..." he began, but his words were cut short.
Jiang Liuyue suddenly pointed to a spot not far behind him,
a brilliant smile spreading across her face.
"What a coincidence, Xiaoman, didn't you go to stay at the Hilton?"
Huo Yaochuan turned around and saw Feng Xiaoman watching them from a distance.
Her eyes were brimming with tears, her whole body trembling, so much so that she could barely hold onto the convenience store bag in her hand.
The air suddenly grew heavy.
Feng Xiaoman took a deep breath, then quickly strode forward. Before anyone could react, she threw the bag of snacks at Jiang Liuyue.
Huo Yaochuan reacted faster, stepping in front of Jiang Liuyue to shield her.
The snacks scattered, hitting his shoulders and back. His eyes were dark and steady.
He stared quietly at Feng Xiaoman, his authority evident without any show of anger.
The look of a superior towards an inferior was too obvious, making Feng Xiaoman feel a surge of fear.
The next second, her anger overcame her fear.
Pointing at Jiang Liuyue, she shouted, "How could you do this?!"
Jiang Liuyue blinked, a look of utter confusion on her face.
Pointing at herself, she asked:
"Me?"
"Did what?"
Seeing her innocent, 'green tea' act, Feng Xiaoman couldn't help but snort coldly:
"You promised me you wouldn't see Yaochuan again."
"But you went behind my back to meet him, even at night, wearing just a bathrobe, right at the hotel entrance."
"What are you trying to do?"
Jiang Liuyue waved her hand dismissively. "It's a coincidence."
Feng Xiaoman's eyes were bloodshot. She turned her head to look at Huo Yaochuan.
Her voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of a tearful, aggrieved tone.
"Yaochuan, I am Wanwan."
"I am the Wanyue Wanwan who played games with you, I am your girlfriend, Feng Xiaoman."
After a pause, she pointed her finger at Jiang Liuyue again, hatred lacing her voice.
"She, is my roommate Jiang Liuyue."
"I accidentally sent her photo during a chat. You thought it was me at the time, and I didn't know how to explain. Things just got muddled like this."
"At the player meet-up today, you recognized the wrong person, and even held her hand."
"I didn't want to embarrass you in public, so I asked Liuyue to pretend to be me for a while, planning to explain to you afterwards."
"I never imagined this woman, Jiang Liuyue, would actually use the identity of Wanyue Wanwan to lure you to a hotel!!!"
By the end, Feng Xiaoman had almost used all her strength.
She glared haughtily at Jiang Liuyue again.
Like a proper wife staring down a despicable mistress.
Huo Yaochuan looked at the furious Feng Xiaoman. So this was his online girlfriend, Wanyue Wanwan.
So this is what she was like.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of flatness, a loss of interest.
But the next moment, he thought his own idea was truly scummy.
No matter what, she was his girlfriend.
Huo Yaochuan spoke up:
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Feng Xiaoman was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Huo Yaochuan lowered his gaze, his voice deep.
"Just now, she already told me she is Jiang Liuyue, not Wanyue Wanwan."
"Also, I didn't get to know her as Yaochuan."
Feng Xiaoman was even more confused.
"..."
Weren't they meeting for the first time today?
What did he mean by 'Yaochuan didn't get to know her as Yaochuan'?
Jiang Liuyue curved the corners of her lips, pointed at Huo Yaochuan, and smiled happily.
"This one, is the number two top supporter in my livestream."
"ID name HYC."
"'Morning Light in the Poplar Forest,' if I remember correctly?" As she said this, she tilted her head slightly, appearing even more playful and lively.
Huo Yaochuan's gaze swept over, and he nodded involuntarily.
Feng Xiaoman was completely dumbfounded.
Seeing her such a foolish look,
Jiang Liuyue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"What? Still don't get it?"
"I was contacting my number two top supporter. Who could have known he turned out to be your Yaochuan."
"You see, it really is a coincidence."
Feng Xiaoman felt the world spinning.
Her lips trembled slightly.
What did this mean?
Yaochuan had known Jiang Liuyue long ago, and had even become the number two top supporter in her livestream.
So... he had found out.
He had found out her photo was fake, and had even found the real owner of the photo.
Compared to Jiang Liuyue using her Wanyue Wanwan identity to seduce Yaochuan,
What Feng Xiaoman found even harder to accept was... Yaochuan had known about her deception all along.
And had even played along.
At that moment, she felt all the humiliation rush to her heart.
Looking at the impeccably handsome man before her, he was so good-looking, so perfect, and yet so cold-blooded.
She breathed slowly.
Then suddenly turned and ran out.
Seeing this, Jiang Liuyue reminded him:
"Brother H, your girlfriend ran off. You should go after her."
A trace of helplessness appeared on Huo Yaochuan's face.
She really was something.
Even now, she still had to tease him?
"Just call me Yaochuan. I'll handle things with Wanwan, then come find you."
...
Feng Xiaoman ran all the way up to the hotel rooftop in one breath.
Normally, the hotel rooftop door should have been locked with a chain, but the staff had forgotten to lock it today.
Pushing open the rooftop door, cold wind whistled into her sleeves.
Feng Xiaoman instantly sobered up.
She felt a bit of regret. How could she leave Jiang Liuyue and Yaochuan alone together? What if something happened between them?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she couldn't allow it. Just as she was about to turn back,
she suddenly heard the sound of leather shoes landing on the ground behind her.
It was Yaochuan!
He had come looking for her.
He still liked her.
Overjoyed, Feng Xiaoman took a few steps back, deliberately positioning herself near the edge of the rooftop, waiting for the man to appear.
Huo Yaochuan looked at the girl before him.
This face was unfamiliar.
But it was the girlfriend he had been in an online relationship with for three months. It was truly absurd.
It was his first time in an online relationship, and he ended up being deceived by a fake photo.
Back then, he had advised Zhou Che not to get scammed!
In the end, Zhou Che wasn't scammed, but he himself was!
"Come back," he beckoned to Feng Xiaoman.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaoman grew even more agitated, breathing heavily, her voice hoarse.
"No!"
"Yaochuan, I know all of this is my fault."
"It was unintentional, my deception, but it's because I like you so much..."
