After sorting out his mood, Li Ming said, “That’s right, my parents divorced when I was very young, and I followed my mother.”

Speaking of this, he had a smile on his face, and he looked like he was joking, but there was a trace of near-undetectable haze in his smile, “Their divorce is of great benefit to me. In order to keep me from getting too close to the other, they each give a lot of money.”

An Rugu continued, “You and the girlfriend you mentioned met the year before last. You liked each other very much and you have spent a lot of money on her. This amount of money can even buy a house in Nancheng.”

… …

The audience in the live broadcast room exploded.

[Hsss, the houses in the suburbs of Nancheng cost millions, handsome guy, do you still need a girlfriend?]

[Don’t get so stuck in gender, good brother, let’s do fencing together.]

[Enough, can you stop worshiping money like this, can this society get better? I’m different, I don’t want his money, I just like him simply.]

… …

“Don’t, don’t, don’t, I’m a straight man.” Seeing these bullet screens, Li Ming shuddered and rubbed the goosebumps on his body. “My girlfriend and I have a very good relationship, don’t try to meddle between us. Actually, I didn’t give her that much money. I calculated…it was about seven or eight hundred thousand.”

When talking about his girlfriend, the smile on his face gradually became sincere, and his eyebrows and eyes became vivid.

“We met by playing Honor of Kings. I played jungler and she played support. She has a sweet mouth and is a very cute person. We got acquainted with each other after chatting back and forth, and we got together later, but we live in different places.

“Her family circumstances are very difficult. Her parents are also divorced; her stepmother treats her very badly, and her father owes gambling debts. I want to help her leave, but she is timid. I just helped her pay off the debts at home, and her father and stepmother also treated her better because of this.”

When thinking of all the strange things recently, Li Ming’s smile faded, and he was a little distressed. “But three days ago, when we were chatting, she suddenly said something like ‘brother Zhang’, and my surname is not ‘Zhang’. I thought she accidentally made a typo. And, yeah, she immediately withdrew it and said that she just made a typo.

“Yesterday, I said how about we video face-to-face. She said that her parents were very strict and would not let her go so far. I said I could go to her city, but she said that she dared not let her stepmother know that she was in a relationship, otherwise she would definitely be beaten to death.

“I always felt something was wrong, and after I helped her family pay off their debts, she was slightly less enthusiastic towards me than before.

“So I wonder if she cheated on me, and the person cheated with is named ‘Zhang’. “

[Am I slow? Why do I feel it’s all right?]

[I also feel that there is no problem, maybe they really made a mistake.]

[But according to the fact that you have been with her for two years, and you haven’t met, there is a big problem. It is impossible for a couple who are in love to not see each other for so long.]

[Damn, this scene seems familiar, I suspect you are <Time Flows Quickly Like Water Flowing>  No. 2, you must have met a catfish.]

… …

Li Ming was taken aback when he read someone type ‘catfish’, and then shook his head. “I also thought that she might be a catfish, but it doesn’t seem like it. Will a fake spend hours playing games with me? I still tend to think that instead of being a fake, she must have cheated instead.” 

Li Ming looked up at An Rugu and said nervously, “Master, did she cheat, or is she really a fake?”

When Li Ming was talking, An Rugu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, then put down the teacup, and looked up at the person next to Li Ming. “In a sense, it is true that she cheated, and… her cheating partner—far as you are concerned—rather than far away in the sky, is right in front of you.”

Li Ming and his roommate: “???”

Audience:”???”

… …

[Damn, what does the anchor mean? The cheating partner is by his side?]

[Ghost story, his girlfriend cheated on him with his roommate?]

… …

What An Ru said was too pointed. Li Ming thoughts also went to this conclusion just like the  audience. He turned his head to look at Zhang Zeyu, his eyes wide. “The person…could it be you?”

Zhang Zeyu was sweating profusely when he heard the words. His face turned pale, and he immediately blurted out a rebuttal, “How is it possible? Zhang has a common surname! How could our two girlfriends be the same person?!”

But at the same time, their minds kept running, and all the abnormal situations that were ignored in the past emerged in their minds.

In the past two years, Li Ming was the first to get out of being single. Zhang Zeyu heard that he met his girlfriend while playing Honor of Kings, and he couldn’t suppress his restless heart, so he also played online to find his own CP.

Both of them met their girlfriends on the Internet, and they both only received photos from them. They both made phone calls to their girlfriends, but never met each other.

They used to think that their girlfriends were reserved, but now… now they thought there was a big problem.

“My girlfriend is in Shanghai.”

“…My girlfriend is also in Shanghai.”

Li Ming and Zhang Zeyu looked at each other, deep fear and doubt flashed in their eyes, and huge hesitation spontaneously arose, and they said at the same time, “Damn, they can’t be the same!?”

“Are they really the same?”

However, just when they were at a loss, a clear and terrifying voice came from the microphone, “If you want to know about your girlfriend, why not ask the person next to you.”

After all… that was also the person their girlfriend cheated on.

Li Ming and Zhang Zeyu: “???”

Roommate Lu Kai next to him: “???”

The audience in the live broadcast room: “!!!”

[Paddling on three boats, if you connect the boats with iron cables, then it’s like walking on flat ground.]

[Sweep it all in one go, without mercy, the Aquaman of Atlantis is not as powerful as this warrior!]

T/N: Paddling on two boats—or in this case 3—means having a relationship with 2 people at the same time. It’s unstable and could capsize at any moment, hence, the suggestion to use ‘iron cables’.

Aquaman of Atlantis comes from the idea of ‘fishing’, that is, casting your net to keep many ‘fish’ admirers. I also sometimes see ‘King of the Sea’ or ‘Neptune’ used.

CP means couple, the romantic kind. In English-speaking fandoms, we’d call it a ‘ship’.
