Chapter 141: Don't You Ever Get Writer's Block?
“Since you asked so sincerely, I'll magnanimously agree to it!”
Yu Wanwan really didn't want to refuse Pu Tong's kindness this time... Her one-sided pursuit had finally received a response from both sides, and this was enough to make her wake up laughing even in her dreams.
For a moment, she almost couldn't believe this was real.
Yu Wanwan inexplicably pinched her own wrist, and immediately felt a faint yet distinct pain.
“You didn't hit yourself hard enough, I'll do it!” Seeing Yu Wanwan's instinctive action, Pu Tong suddenly felt a little emotional. Just how much did she doubt the reality of this whole thing...
“I was afraid you wouldn't be able to bring yourself to do it!” Yu Wanwan giggled.
Smack!
Pu Tong immediately snapped a finger against her wrist, so fast it left an afterimage...
“Where did you get that confidence!”
“Get lost!” Yu Wanwan grimaced in pain, never expecting this guy to actually do it.
She rubbed the red mark on her wrist, instantly coming to terms with reality, which was... even though the two of them had now started moving toward each other, there was still a very long distance between them.
So, the beating continued as usual.
“Stop dawdling, I'm going to talk about something serious!” Pu Tong didn't want to waste time fooling around either, and began telling Yu Wanwan about the whole online-dating situation involving Xie Mu.
“Huh?”
Even though Yu Wanwan, who loved imagining things, had already pictured all sorts of possibilities for the two of them, she still hadn't expected it to be this ridiculous.
Getting backlash from being paired up as a couple, getting cursed at by netizens, then starting to question the fake feelings in the entertainment industry, and finally deciding to hide his celebrity identity and date online... What a genius!
To be honest, Yu Wanwan had never believed in online dating. It wasn't that she doubted whether online relationships were real, but rather, she didn't believe in the gap between the virtual world and reality.
When expressing things through text, language tended to be more profound and internal, so when netizens communicated, it could create the illusion that their feelings were very deep, but if they interacted offline, they would soon discover that it didn't match how they communicated online...
If two people really got together, would they love the image of the other person packaged online, or the living, breathing person?
“So, what does this have to do with you?” Yu Wanwan was still very puzzled.
Logically speaking, Pu Tong shouldn't have known about something like this, much less taken the initiative to get involved.
“You might not believe me when I say this, but I'm also responsible for him getting into an online relationship!”
“Hm?” Yu Wanwan sucked in a breath of cold air. Surely Pu Tong hadn't told him to go online dating, right? What kind of terrible idea was that?
Lying to someone into online dating, may lightning strike you!
Seeing the look of disdain on her face, Pu Tong hurriedly explained everything that had happened in detail.
You couldn't blame him entirely for this either, who could have expected Xie Mu's train of thought to be so bizarre?
As Yu Wanwan listened, her eyebrows nearly twisted into a knot. “As his master, you're... way too bad for your disciple!”
She had been puzzled a few days ago when she picked up the pencil Xie Mu had dropped on the floor during the exam, only for him to blurt out “Master's wife,” leaving her completely at a loss.
So his master was right here. It all lined up, it all lined up.
Yu Wanwan hadn't wanted to get involved originally, but now she had no choice... This kid was actually pretty sensible, and that “Master's wife” had really hit her right in the heart.
She had a favorable impression of everyone who shipped her and Pu Tong equally.
“So, what do you think?” Pu Tong finally got to the main point.
Although being his master was just a pretext, watching his cheap disciple blindly sink deeper and deeper, he really couldn't bear it...
“I understand, but I don't support it.” Yu Wanwan sighed. With her personality, if she liked someone, she'd make a move directly; there was no way she'd go through all these twists and turns.
Pu Tong turned his head to look at her, having more or less guessed she'd say that.
The two of them actually had similar views on Xie Mu's situation. They wouldn't laugh at him, wouldn't question him, and could even help him, but they absolutely wouldn't support it.
“So, you're planning to have me analyze Xie Mu's online girlfriend from a girl's perspective?”
“Precisely.”
Yu Wanwan bit her lip and thought for a while before nodding. “I feel like Yuxi would be really good at analyzing this...”
“No!” Pu Tong stopped that thought in time. “I promised Xie Mu. I can only tell you about this! So you can't tell Yi Zhi Xuenai or Lin Yuxi either.”
“Oh!” Yu Wanwan wasn't surprised. Instead, she felt a little secretly pleased. Sure enough, she was the person Pu Tong trusted most, and there was no one else.
Besides, this kind of relatively private little secret was indeed important, and she couldn't possibly go around telling people about it.
“I don't know what to do either. Let's see how things go.” Yu Wanwan didn't want to tell others what to do either; this matter still needed to be considered carefully.
There was still plenty of time before class, so the two of them started walking back together, in no hurry.
“I'm saying... you wouldn't secretly be doing some kind of online dating, would you?” Yu Wanyan asked casually.
“Impossible. You're the person I chat with the most, so who else would I online-date?” Pu Tong rolled his eyes at her. “Want to check my phone?”
“Then maybe not, hehe.”
She wasn't some jealous person, she had only asked out of curiosity, and she also knew that with Pu Tong's personality, he couldn't possibly do anything unrelated to studying.
“Speaking of which, I wanted to check your phone too.” Pu Tong suddenly said.
“Huh?”
“Don't misunderstand, I just want to know what name you saved me under...”
Pu Tong was extremely curious. At the last sports meet, he had learned that Yu Wanwan had given him some strange contact name, but even now he still didn't know what that name actually was.
“I'll tell you when I have time!” Yu Wanwan giggled. Seeing more people starting to appear around them, she hurriedly put some distance between herself and Pu Tong, then hopped and skipped away.
“It can't be some unimaginative contact name like ‘Pig Head’ or something, right!” Pu Tong watched her back and shook his head helplessly.
By the time he arrived in the classroom, Yu Wanwan was already acting as if nothing had happened, as though the two of them hadn't even seen each other during extracurricular activities.
“You're here. Let me tell you a secret, Wanwan spent twenty minutes in the bathroom!” Lin Yuxi said with a cold laugh.
She had already seen through everything.
“You two done?”
The two of them were a little awkward and didn't know how to explain. Since it involved Xie Mu's little secret, they really couldn't say.
“Done with what? Is it what I think it is?” Yi Zhi Xuenai scratched her head. “Twenty minutes, that's pretty good!”
“We just went to chat for a while.” Pu Tong coughed twice.
“I said chatting, didn't I?” Yi Zhi Xuenai's eyes were full of confusion. “What else?”
“Just chatting!” Yu Wanwan quickly picked up the conversation. “We talked about the graduation gala. He wrote me a song.”
The best way to end one topic was to bring up another interesting one. Sure enough, as soon as Yu Wanwan finished speaking, Lin Yuxi and Yi Zhi Xuenai's interest immediately shifted to the new song.
“You're trying to use a song for Wanwan to subtly express that you two have a good relationship, so the rumors will collapse on their own, right?” Lin Yuxi directly guessed Pu Tong's idea. At the end of the day, it was still a story of her doting on him and him doting on her.
Pu Tong was just about to say something when Yu Wanwan interrupted him directly.
“We're not that close, we're just friends!” She giggled and answered first.
“Fine, fine, friends.” Lin Yuxi couldn't be bothered to nitpick their wording. “As long as she sings your song when the time comes, it'll show that you're still friends, still especially, especially good friends, right?”
She emphasized the word “friends” heavily, making Pu Tong and Yu Wanwan feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Yuxi stopped talking and sat to the side, beginning to resentfully size the two of them up...
Ugh, damn dog food, it's truly nauseating.
“I have a tiny tiny tiny tiny question!” Yi Zhi Xuenai pinched her chin. “Aren't you also supposed to write a duet for that person, what's their name again? So does that mean you're going to write two songs?”
Although there was still some time before the graduation gala, writing two songs with the same theme at the same time probably wouldn't be easy.
“Should... be no problem, right...” Yu Wanwan murmured.
Of course she knew this would be very difficult, but she was also full of confidence in Pu Tong, even though that confidence was completely unfounded。。
“It's fine.” Pu Tong felt a little guilty. He was just copying songs, so how could he not be fast?
“Then write one for me too?” Yi Zhi Xuenai giggled. “Give me more!”
“No, no, I've exhausted my creative talent!”
Pu Tong really could run out of creative material easily. Even though he had been a professional singer before and remembered quite a lot of songs, there was still a limit, and sooner or later he'd use them all up.
The three girls stared at him, never again able to believe a single word of his “I've exhausted my creative talent.”
“Do you really never get writer's block?”
