The Days of a Player-Character in a Bizarre World - Chapter 22

Many of the rich kids at school who came from better backgrounds than Fu Lu were upset about this.

They had spent countless amounts of money trying to win Fu You over, and in the end, they didn’t even get a glance from her. So why should a poor kid like Fu Lu get her attention so easily without spending a single cent?

Chengchun University had four campus heartthrobs. Besides Gao Jie, there were three others. When these three heard about this, they were all in a bad mood.

One after another, they all frowned.

The deceased Gao Jie and Fu You were in the same class, while the other three were two juniors and one senior. They were the domineering CEO-type hottie Yu Shang, the gentleman-like Aike Kanglie, and the emo-type “pretty boy” Ke Na.

A “pretty boy” was a guy who was just very good-looking. You couldn’t call him handsome; he was just pretty.

The three of them had a very common trait, just like the other guys: they all liked Fu You.

But they didn’t like her as much as Gao Jie did. They just liked her, but not in an exaggerated way.

Yu Shang’s persona was like that—a domineering CEO type. He liked Fu You but wouldn’t actively pursue her. He just wanted Fu You to pursue him one day. Unfortunately, he had been waiting for a long time and still hadn’t gotten a single glance from her.

But in the eyes of the gentleman, Aike Kanglie, this was just Fu You “playing hard to get” with Yu Shang. He believed that Fu You’s indifference to Yu Shang was a way to get Yu Shang to make the first move, and then Fu You would seize the opportunity to attack.

Even Yu Shang himself believed that Fu You was playing hard to get with him.

It was pretty absurd.

As a result, he thought that Fu You not looking at him or not even lifting her head when she passed by him was just to get his attention, so he would be the first to talk to her.

Compared to the other campus heartthrobs, the emo-type “pretty boy” Ke Na was much better. Although his name did sound a lot like a girl’s name.

He never went out of his way to bother Fu You. After he was rejected, he didn’t pester her like Gao Jie did. Instead, he continued to be her friend and got along well with her.

He believed that it was a good thing. Instead of making her hate him, it was better to be her friend first. What if one day Fu You found his good qualities?

At this moment, the three of them were sitting in the student council office, gossiping about Fu You.

It was called: handling business.

“Hey, do you guys believe it? Fu You isn’t really in love with that kid, is she? Didn’t she just play hard to get with me before? How can she just go and hook up with someone else without getting my answer first!”

Yu Shang sat in the office, his legs crossed. He was annoyed and annoyed. He had been thinking about it so much that his brain felt like it was going to explode, but he still couldn’t figure it out.

Aike Kanglie’s heart was also bleeding, but he still managed to smile and say, “I think you’re overthinking it. Fu You has never hinted that she likes us before. She didn’t even give us a feeling. Besides, isn’t it a good thing that she has someone she likes? Didn’t people used to say she was a lesbian? Now it’s been debunked!”

Yu Shang still wouldn’t give up. “I think you’re the one who’s overthinking it. She never talked to you, but she talked to me. She even initiated a conversation with me.”

The more he spoke, the more excited he got. Ke Na paused and then said, “If I remember correctly, she only talked to you twice. The first time was to join the student council, and the second time was… oh right, to leave the student council.”

“No, she really did seek me out. She definitely likes me. She even winked at me and gave me a flirtatious look! What else could that be if not love?!”

Aike Kanglie and Ke Na didn’t know what to say for a moment, but seeing Yu Shang’s expression, Ke Na still couldn’t help but say,

“Are you sure she winked at you? And gave you a flirtatious look? Maybe a lash just fell into her eye.”

Aike Kanglie seemed to remember something and continued Ke Na’s words. “Yeah, yeah, wasn’t her little follower blowing her eye out that day? I remember that. I almost thought she was looking at me, too.”

“No, that’s not right. I remember another time. We ran into her in the hallway, and she was shy around me. As she walked past me, she even lowered her head shyly. What is that if not love? She was just too shy because there were too many people, so she didn’t confess to me.”

Yu Shang was so excited that he almost stood up.

Aike Kanglie put his elbow on the table, propping up his head and looking at Yu Shang. He smiled and said, “That day, you didn’t forget that your fly was open, did you? A girl would subconsciously feel shy when she saw that. You were walking around all day thinking you were so cool, hahahaha!! I can’t. I want to laugh so much…”

Yu Shang still wouldn’t give up. “Why didn’t she remind me if she saw it? You were the one who told me, so that means she didn’t see it. She was just shy.”

Ke Na looked at Yu Shang as if he were a circus monkey, moving around one second, getting excited and standing up to argue the next, and then sitting down and pouting. He said helplessly:

“My man, she’s a girl. Shouldn’t she feel embarrassed when she sees that your zipper is down? She was the one who told us later, and we were the ones who reminded you. She was worried that you would be embarrassed if she pointed it out directly, but here you are, acting like she has a deep crush on you…”

Yu Shang only heard one sentence from the long rant: Fu You was worried he would be embarrassed. After hearing the answer he wanted, he smiled. “I told you. She cares about me. She’s just a little shy.”

Aike Kanglie: “…”

Ke Na: “…”

The two of them completely fell silent. They just quietly looked at Yu Shang. Who would have thought that Yu Shang would have a lightbulb moment and suddenly look up and say:

“Oh, I get it now. She’s doing this to get my attention, to make me confess to her sooner. She intentionally found some insignificant kid to make me jealous. Yes, that’s it!”

Yu Shang got himself all excited and stood up, walking toward the office door. He walked two steps, came back to get his jacket, and the corners of his mouth were practically touching the back of his head.

He was ecstatic.

“Where are you going?”

Although he could guess, Ke Na still asked.

Yu Shang stood at the door with his back to them and said, “She wants to make me jealous, right? Well, I’m going to confess to her right now and tell her she succeeded in making me jealous. Then I’ll announce that she’s my woman. I’ll give her a legitimate identity, and she won’t have to use these methods to make me jealous anymore.”

After he said that, Yu Shang walked out without looking back.

Aike Kanglie and Ke Na were left standing there, staring at the pile of documents on the table. They looked at each other. No one said a word. They just naturally lowered their heads and continued looking at the documents.

After a long while, Aike Kanglie finally let out his frustration. He threw the pen in his hand on the table. “Damn it! When are we going to finish all this stuff?! He’s so awesome. He’s treating us like suckers!”

He turned to look at Ke Na. He saw that Ke Na had already given his work to the three or four student council members behind him and was standing to the side, smiling gleefully.

Aike Kanglie: “…”

After he said that, he also threw all his work to the members behind him and said with a smile, “Thanks for your hard work, everyone!”

Aike Kanglie couldn’t calm down. He threw a pile of work away, turned around, and pulled Ke Na out of the office.

The suckers: “You’re so noble! You’re both so noble!”

On the other side, after her classes were over, Fu You wanted to go to the infirmary to check on Fang Yaoyao. Of course, she was only doing it for the Lazy Fish Coins. Otherwise, what Fang Yaoyao did had nothing to do with her.

But she was also very curious about what evil spirit had possessed Fang Yaoyao.

She quickly walked into the infirmary and saw Fang Yaoyao still unconscious on the hospital bed.

When she got a little closer, she saw that Fang Yaoyao’s face was pale. She hadn’t seen her yesterday or today, but her cheeks were noticeably sunken in. Her lips had no color at all and were extremely pale.

She looked like she was about to die.

The nurse in the infirmary also couldn’t figure out what was wrong with Fang Yaoyao, so they decided to contact Fang Yaoyao’s parents and have them take her to another hospital outside of the school for a full check-up.

This meant she had less than a day to complete Fang Yaoyao’s side quest. If she didn’t complete it, her Lazy Fish Coins would be gone.

She still remembered that the side quest was to help her get rid of the evil spirit in her body. If Fang Yaoyao’s current state was really because of that evil spirit, then after she helped Fang Yaoyao, Fang Yaoyao wouldn’t have to go to another hospital.

If she waited for Fang Yaoyao’s parents to pick her up, Fu You couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t force Fang Yaoyao to stay just to earn that money.

She still had time. She casually made up a reason to send the nurse away, then went up and felt all over Fang Yaoyao’s body to see if there were any clues.

To be honest, she felt a little like a pervert, touching a sleeping girl’s body.

Generally, people who are possessed or harassed by evil spirits have either been to a place with those things or have picked up or been given something dirty by someone, and that thing is now on them.

After searching for a long time, she didn’t find anything substantial on her, but she did find other clues:

One was the black and red dirt in Fang Yaoyao’s fingernails, and the other was a faint black handprint on Fang Yaoyao’s wrist.

She also found a faint black handprint on the side of Fang Yaoyao’s neck. The lines were very faint.

But in Fu You’s memory, Fang Yaoyao was a very clean girl. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she had a severe case of mysophobia. How could she tolerate dirt or even a handprint on her hand?

“It looks like I’ll have to find out where she’s been recently.” Fu You adjusted her body and covered her with the thin blanket on the hospital bed. “I remember that she and a girl from the dorm across from her often went to the library. I’ll ask her later. Maybe she knows something.”

She was a person of action. She pulled open the infirmary door and walked out. She subconsciously caught a glimpse of Yu Shang, Aike Kanglie, and Ke Na walking toward her.
