The three of them looked at each other, one after another. Their expressions were a little dazed, and they felt that there was a shimmering light that’s distinctly green shining above each other’s heads.

“It’s impossible!” Li Ming has turned pale with shock. His inner turmoil engulfed him like a huge wave until his lips gradually lost all color; he still couldn’t believe it. “How could Lili treat me like this?”

He could be considered as having good conditions, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that there were many people chasing him in the school—but he never liked any of them very much. He always felt that the other party was not sincere in their affections. But her broken family, and its similarity to his own experience, naturally made him have a little sympathy for his girlfriend when they first got acquainted. And the other party didn’t know his family background at all, and only knew him through the network cable, so his heart was gradually moved.

Although he and Lili have never met, and the relationship between the two of them seemed very unreliable in the eyes of the livestream audience, he didn’t care about these things. She understood him very well. Sometimes Lili could understand what he meant without him saying anything, which was terribly cute and really caring.

Occasionally, they would quarrel over some trivial matters, but they always quickly reconciled. He always thought that he would develop this online relationship into a face-to-face reality. Even if the other party was a little cold towards him during this period and did not reply to his messages as fast as before, he never wavered in his mind.

But An Rugu said that his girlfriend cheated on him with his own roommate, and there were even more than one of them?!

… …

Zhang Zeyu seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, his complexion was no better than that of Li Ming, and he tried to grasp the differences between their girlfriends using his shell-shocked brain. “My girlfriend doesn’t have this name. She is a sports student like me, and her parents have a good relationship. It’s not at all like your girlfriend whose parents got divorced, okay?”

Zhang Zeyu turned his head to look at An Rugu through Li Ming’s cell phone, a trace of expectation in his eyes, “Master Daoist, did you perhaps make a mistake, or did we misunderstand what you mean?”

An Rugu’s expression was calm, and she took a sip of Lu’an Guapian tea slowly. “You think about matters carefully.”

Zhang Zeyu thought of interrogating his roommates first before pressing An Rugu for answers, and turned to look at Lu Kai. “When did you have a girlfriend? Why didn’t you tell us?”

Lu Kai was hugging his arms, looking confused and uneasy. He frowned and replied, “I just confirmed my relationship with her a few days ago, and I haven’t had time to tell you about it yet.”

“You also met your girlfriend online?”

Lu Kai nodded hesitantly and said honestly, “Yes, but unlike you, we didn’t meet through playing games. You all know I don’t usually play games. And you also know her identity: she is Jiang Hai’s cousin.”

When the other two heard Jiang Hai’s name, they suddenly felt a sense of strangeness as if they had gone to a world far away.

Jiang Hai was their other roommate but he was seldom here as their school allowed off-campus accommodation. Although Jiang Hai’s family was not as rich as Li Ming’s, it was still much better than Lu Kai’s, who was from a poor family. Unfortunately, Jiang Hai was in poor health, and because his family loved him very much, hearing that he wasn’t sleeping well in the dormitory with 3 other roommates, they rented a house for him near the school.

Jiang Hai didn’t usually live in school, and he only spent a little time with them, so the relationship between them was not as good as that of the ‘Iron Triangle’, but it was still passable.

Li Ming and Zhang Zeyu looked at each other, both surprised. “Why did Jiang Hai suddenly introduce you to his cousin?”

There was no reason to conceal matters so Lu Kai replied, “His cousin did very poorly in the high math test and needed to retake it. But tutors are expensive and her family couldn’t afford it. So Jiang Hai asked me to tutor her.”

Lu Kai concealed the details of what happened after that and didn’t want to say more, but everyone already guessed: it must be that because of the online tutoring, he developed feelings.

Li Ming wanted to believe that An Rugu’s words were false, but he knew that the other party had no reason to lie to him, let alone smash her own divination signboard just to lie to him.

The three silently took out their mobile phones and compared various chat records and personal information. Although their three girlfriends also have different accounts, all three lived in Shanghai.

And during the times when Li Ming had been waiting a long time to receive a reply from his girlfriend, one or the other of his roommates would be chatting with their girlfriend. Moreover, the identities and backgrounds of their respective girlfriends were so similar to themselves, it’s really as if it had been tailored that way from the beginning.

The bloody facts revealed the horrible truth—their heads were all green!

… …

[666666, I would like to call the girlfriend a master of time management, let the master publish a book!]

[The case has been solved, this is a story about a scumbag who stepped on three boats. The scumbag is their roommate’s cousin.]

[Cousin: I just want to give every boy a home.]

[But the personal information that the roommate’s cousin gave to them was different for each one, it can be called the right medicine for each illness, I feel it is a well-prepared fraud.]

… …

Aside from being entangled, Li Ming still refused to think of this matter as a fraud. After all, the image of the other party was really good. After a long time, he came up with an idea: “Could it be that she thinks that I treat her badly? So she intentionally took revenge on me?”

In order to retaliate against him, she deliberately cheated on him behind his back and chose his roommate to do it with.

Many viewers shook their heads when they saw this. This guy still thought that the other party liked him—this guy was a bit of a love brain after all. He looked smart, but he was actually a silly and useless son?

Zhang Zeyu, who studied physical education, was not as good-tempered as Li Ming. When he realized that he had been tricked, he was really angry. Moreover, what Li Ming said annoyed him even more. Not only was he cheated, but he was also a spare tire?

Zhang Zeyu stood up from the stool in a snap, opened the address book viciously, and was about to dial his girlfriend’s number to ask for clarification.

At this moment, An Rugu’s calm voice came from the phone’s microphone, “Calm down.”

They stopped moving about, and Li Ming asked quickly, “Master, do you know why my girlfriend did this?”

An Rugu’s complexion became a little strange, with a subtle expression. “Actually, your girlfriend is not your girlfriend in a sense.”

“What do you mean?”

“I didn’t say that the other party is a woman, in fact… he is a man.”

The three roommates: “???”

Audience:”???”

One small pebble stirred up thousands of waves, shocking everyone to the point of being overwhelmed.

An Rugu blinked, took another sip of tea, and lowered her eyebrows. The moment she saw the three of them, she realized that all three were infected with the same rotten peach blossom, at the same time. The gender of this rotten peach blossom was male, and he was inextricably related to all of them.

This was the second rotten peach blossom she has encountered since the live broadcast. Compared with the rotten peach blossom that <Time Passes Quickly Like Flowing Water> could easily solve, this rotten peach blossom would be very difficult for them to handle by themselves.

Li Ming was not stupid. Hearing what she said, he immediately thought of the key point: “Could it be… Jiang Hai?”

Like Zhang Zeyu’s girlfriend, Lin Ming’s girlfriend did not reveal her real information, but Lu Kai was different. His girlfriend was introduced to him by Jiang Hai.

After the other two reacted, their complexions turned from white to red and then blue, as if a seasoning plate had been overturned.

The three of them saw that An Rugu didn’t refute, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, their stomachs were churning, and they felt a little nauseous: “Damn, I was tricked by Jiang Hai!”

“He pretends to be a man, isn’t he a pervert?!”

“No, he also lied to me to get seven or eight hundred thousand yuan. He is committing fraud!”

The last trace of charm in the hearts of the three disappeared in an instant, leaving only a strong nausea. Jiang Hai seemed to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, but behind the scenes, he was actually a pervert who engaged in fraud.

An Rugu nodded slightly when she heard the words. “That’s right, he is indeed engaged in fraudulent business.”

Li Ming couldn’t comprehend it. “But he is not short of money. I remember that his family seems to have opened a small company. Why do they want to cheat money?”

“Send me a picture of him,” An Rugu said.

Li Ming immediately sent a group photo taken during the previous school opening day.

An Rugu opened it and said, “He is from a wealthy family, but his life is empty. His body is weak and he can’t do physical work. He works in the sun to make money, and works in the shade to be an official. He has a sinister and cunning character, and he doesn’t get along with his father, so he doesn’t want to inherit the family property. He wants to start his own business.”

Li Ming and the others: “…”

Audience:”……”

… …

[Help, my soft and cute girlfriend is actually a big man who picks his feet!]

[The rich second generation wants to break away from his father and take over the world. I admire his courage, but he is committing fraud to do it? True black humor.]

[The most profitable business is written in the texts of criminal law. In fact, the revenue of fraudulent companies is very high, making more money than many companies, but it is illegal and criminal, and only some ruthless people dare to do it.]

[I treat you as a roommate, but you want to be my girlfriend??]

[Roommate: Online dating choose me, I am super sweet! Will cheat you of both feelings and money.]
