Helping Lu Xue create a QQ account

"Li Wenjie, didn't you say you'd help us register a few QQ accounts? Have you done it?"

"Um, I can't register them lately."

"Why not?"

"My mom cut off our broadband because she's worried I'll play games."

"What should we do then?"

"Don't worry, after our evening self-study session, I'll take everyone to the internet cafe to register."

"Isn't that a bit risky? Our homeroom teacher said we shouldn't go to internet cafes unless it's a weekend."

"Don't be afraid; we'll just go for a little while. Once we're done registering, we'll leave. Hey, do you still need QQ accounts?"

"We do, we do..."

In Class 5 of the first year, several boys interested in getting QQ accounts chatted with Li Wenjie from time to time.

Li Wenjie was quite pleased, then suddenly approached Lu Xue's desk. "Lu Xue, do you have a QQ account?"

"I don't."

"Do you want me to help you register one?"

"No, thanks. My mom doesn't allow me to go online."

"Alright then." Li Wenjie left, feeling somewhat dejected.

"Hey."

"Don't call me 'hey'."

"Tsk... Chen Yu, do you have a QQ account?"

"I do."

"Then help me register one."

"Weird, didn't Li Wenjie offer to help you just now? You declined?"

"You're a pro, aren't you? Better than Li Wenjie, and you even know Wubi input."

"Being able to use Wubi is a mark of skill."

"Close enough."

"I'm impressed; doesn't your family have a computer?"

"How did you know?"

"It's no secret. Your grandfather was a respected official in Xinfeng before he retired. With such a good background, you must have a computer."

After their visit to the Senior Citizens' Art Center last time, Chen Yu had done some research.

To his surprise, before retiring, Lu Xue's grandfather had been a respected official in Xinfeng—a rare case of an upright official.

"Don't spread rumors."

"Isn't it true?"

"Don't tell anyone, okay? It won't look good."

"Beauty Lu, I didn't expect you to be so low-key. Fine, I won't say anything."

"What about QQ then?"

"Don't you know how to register?"

"Um, I don't."

Lu Xue felt a bit embarrassed. "My parents don't really let me use the computer. But the more they forbid me, the more I want to play."

"Haha, Beauty Lu, I didn't expect you to have such an adorable side."

Chen Yu chuckled.

The former female academic prodigy from their past life had quite the youthful side.

"Alright, I'll register a QQ account for you tonight."

"I'll come along too."

"Where are you going? Do you want to come to my place?"

"No, to the internet cafe. You said you're registering a QQ account there, right?"

"Um, yeah."

Chen Yu slapped his thigh and nodded. "But it's probably best not to go to the internet cafe."

"Why?"

"There are a lot of unsavory characters there. It's not safe."

"I don't believe it."

Lu Xue shook her head. "I've heard that you need a password for QQ accounts. You register it for me. What if you secretly use my QQ account later?"

"Come on, am I that kind of person?"

Chen Yu sighed. "Alright, let's go then."

That evening, after finishing their evening self-study session, Chen Yu and Lu Xue walked out of the school gate.

"Chen Yu, where's your bicycle?"

"I don't have one."

"Oh, you don't even have a bicycle?"

"Beauty Lu, I've told you, my family is very poor; we can't afford one."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Lu Xue kept apologizing, afraid of hurting Chen Yu's self-esteem as she did last time.

"Alright, let's go."

"Um, I have a bicycle."

"Oh, okay. You ride ahead, and I'll catch up in a bit."

"Is it too much trouble? How about you ride with me?"

Lu Xue's voice was very soft, and she lowered her head in embarrassment after saying it.

Watching this scene, Chen Yu couldn't help but be captivated.

In his previous life, he was a nobody, and even though Lu Xue was the dream goddess of countless classmates and the entire grade, he knew he didn't have a chance. But now, with a second chance at life, Chen Yu couldn't help but wonder if he really felt nothing?

"Sure, I'll ride with you."

Acting as if he didn't care, Chen Yu took Lu Xue's bicycle. "Hop on."

"Get on."

"Let's go."

With a swift push of his right leg, the bicycle shot forward.

"Wow, Beauty Lu, how much do you weigh? Why are you so heavy?"

"Hmph, are you saying I'm fat? Where am I fat? I only weigh 90 pounds."

"90 pounds? Kilograms, right?"

"You weigh only 90 kilograms. Oh my, how can you ride so fast? Slow down, slow down..."

For some reason, Chen Yu's mood was a bit exhilarated today.

The usually easygoing and calm him found himself acting like a mischievous kid, always teasing Lu Xue.

"Damn, Li Wenjie, is that Lu Xue up ahead?"

"Where?"

"Sitting on the bicycle in front."

"It does look like her."

"What do you mean, it's definitely Lu Xue. Who's that guy with her?"

Watching Chen Yu riding alongside Lu Xue ahead, Li Wenjie and the others cursed loudly.

You see, Lu Xue was the goddess of all the boys in their class.

But their goddess was being accompanied home by another guy. What was going on?

It felt like their goddess had been plucked by someone else.

"Let's go, catch up and see who it is."

"Yeah."

However, it was unfortunate that the bicycle ahead seemed to be infused with energy like a chicken on steroids.

Li Wenjie and his group only chased for a while before the bicycle in front disappeared without a trace.

"Damn, is that guy on drugs? Riding so fast."

"We wanted to see who it was, but we didn't even catch a glimpse."

"Annoying..."

Li Wenjie felt extremely frustrated, and even the chance to show off while helping someone register a QQ account today seemed less appealing.

"Li Wenjie, who do you think is with Lu Xue?"

"How would I know? I told you to chase after them, but you couldn't catch up."

"How were we supposed to know that guy would ride like he's on drugs? There's no way we could catch up."

"Hmph, don't let me find out who that guy is."

"Yeah, don't let me find out either."

"That's right, if we find out, we'll teach him a lesson."

They all spoke fiercely as they parked their bicycles in front of the Lenovo Internet Cafe.

Arriving at the Lenovo Internet Cafe a step ahead, Chen Yu was teary-eyed.

He had overheard their conversation at the entrance.

Damn.

Could it be that they were talking about me?

Pretending not to have heard anything, Chen Yu took Lu Xue upstairs.

"Chen Yu, you're here. Who's this?"

Seeing Chen Yu bringing a beautiful girl upstairs, Zhang Jianming exclaimed excitedly.

"She's my classmate, Lu Xue."

"Oh, I see. Hi, sister-in-law, I'm Zhang Jianming, Chen Yu's junior high school classmate."

"Sister-in-law? Don't call me that."

Chen Yu glared at Zhang Jianming. "Let me use your computer; I'll go get us two bottles of water."

"Sure, come on, sit here."

Zhang Jianming warmly greeted Lu Xue.

"Hey, Chen Yu, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I came to play QQ, and so did they."

"Right, they asked me to help them register QQ accounts, so here we are."

"Oh, I see. Enjoy."

Chen Yu grabbed two bottles of water in the Lenovo Internet Cafe lobby and was about to head upstairs.

At that moment, Li Wenjie tapped Chen Yu on the shoulder. "Chen Yu, did you see Lu Xue?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"There was a guy riding a bicycle with Lu Xue just now. Didn't you see? I thought you did. Damn, tomorrow I'll go investigate and find out who that guy is. If I run into him, we'll have to settle it with a PK."

Li Wenjie cursed again.

Chen Yu felt no internal turmoil, held the two bottles of water, and went upstairs.
