The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 147 Inside the coffee shop, r

Inside the coffee shop, Luo Yingying picked up her coffee and took a sip, but she still couldn't suppress her anger.

Why should I? Luo Yingying slammed down her coffee cup indignantly. I've never been treated like this before!

Luo Yingying has had her parents give her whatever she wants since she was a child. Her family is well-off; her father is the CEO of a company, and her mother holds an important position in another large company.

From childhood to adulthood, everyone around her fawned over her and revolved around her.

She would randomly select a few lucky individuals and give them the opportunity to become the butt of her jokes.

Those lucky ones either needed her money or her power, were attracted to her looks, or genuinely believed they would be her last.

So Luo Yingying played them all for a fool and then mocked them mercilessly when they broke up.

No one said her method was wrong. Even her parents praised her and would pay money to help her deal with the more disobedient children.

Moreover, even if those lucky ones are furious, they still can't help but look at her with lingering affection when they see her again.

When she encountered Qin Men, Luo Yingying did the same thing. She had even planned that if Qin Men continued to harass her, she could throw a check in Qin Men's face and tell him to take the money and get lost.

However, Qin Men readily agreed and ran very fast, as if afraid that Luo Yingying would change her mind.

This made Luo Yingying feel frustrated.

At first, she thought that Qin Men was similar to the previous few who were a bit arrogant, and that if she showed weakness a little, Qin Men would obediently come back.

But the Qin family didn't give her a chance to show weakness; they blocked all her contact information.

Every time they met Qin Men after that, Qin Men always seemed like someone they had never met before.

Luo Yingying couldn't understand why her previous methods didn't work on Qin Men. So when she discovered that Jin Youan and Qin Men had similar personalities, Luo Yingying conducted another experiment on Jin Youan.

Jin Youan was no different from the others before him.

This puzzled Luo Yingying, so she called Qin Men over today. She wanted to find out why Qin Men was so different from everyone else, so she could find the right way to win him back and then dump him again.

Qin Men answered, but at the same time she mocked Luo Yingying.

This was something Luo Yingying had never encountered before, nor had she ever imagined—because she felt that no one would dare to do such a thing given her family background.

Qin Men did just that, and even went against her, sending her alternate account to Jin Youan.

Luo Yingying angrily finished her coffee and walked out of the coffee shop, leaning on her cane.

Jin Youan stood silently at the door, acting as a human cane, just like always.

On the way back to the dormitory, the two of them remained silent.

Luo Yingying was still thinking about what Qin Men had just said to her, and she was regretting why she hadn't said something to refute Qin Men.

Jin Youan was also thinking about what Qin Men had said, and began to compare his life before and after meeting Luo Yingying.

Jin Youan recalled that before meeting Luo Yingying, her life seemed quite interesting.

After class, I would accompany my friends to places like night markets and food streets.

During longer holidays, students can either visit tourist attractions near the school or volunteer to earn extra credits.

But after meeting Luo Yingying, I don't seem to have any interesting memories.

Jin Youan suddenly realized that after he started dating Luo Yingying, he had been revolving his life around Luo Yingying.

Although it was Luo Yingying who suggested starting a relationship, she was also the one who initiated many of their cold wars during their relationship. Jin Youan, in an effort to salvage the relationship, consistently went along with Luo Yingying's wishes.

"She's been treating you like a dog all along." Qin Men's words kept replaying in Jin You'an's mind.

Stop lying to yourself, Jin Youan sighed. I've always known.

The two walked silently to the dormitory building.

This time, Jin Youan escorted Luo Yingying to her dormitory entrance. As Luo Yingying opened the door and went inside, Jin Youan said, "Yingying, let's break up."

Luo Yingying paused as she was about to close the door. She looked up at Jin Youan in disbelief, uttering each word clearly, "What did you say?"

"I said, let's break up," Jin Youan said calmly. "I'm tired."

Luo Yingying opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Thinking about how she had just been confronted by the Qin family and then broken up with by Jin Youan, she was furious and slammed the door shut.

The sound of the dormitory door being slammed echoed throughout the corridor. Jin Youan walked away numbly.

As he took the elevator to the first floor and stepped out of the dormitory building, a cold wind blew by, and Jin Youan felt a tightness in his chest. Then, tears streamed down his face.

Lu Renkui stood in Qin Men's consciousness space, pondering what to add to the progress bar that wasn't full yet.

While Lu Renkui was deciding whether to watch a movie or a TV series, he suddenly saw a large hole appear in front of him.

Lu Renkui sensed something was wrong and moved to the side.

Sure enough, a short while later, the system WQBYRZM emerged from that large hole.

"Are you awake?" Lu Renkui asked, looking down, then saw the resentful look in the eyes of System WQBYRZM.

"What did you do with the Qin Clan?" System WQBYRZM grabbed Lu Renkui's collar with both hands and asked, "The villain and her official pairing broke up—!"

"Um... nothing much." Lu Renkui's eyes darted around. "It's just that Qin Men said a few things to Jin Youan."

"Then Jin Youan broke up with Luo Yingying." System WQBYRZM grabbed Lu Renkui's face with one hand and said through gritted teeth, "I was half asleep when I was suddenly woken up by a beeping notification sound, you know? Luckily, the villain wasn't a good person, so he didn't deduct or gain anything. Otherwise, I guarantee I would strangle you, you worthless piece of trash."

"Oh dear," Lu Renkui smiled ingratiatingly at the system WQBYRZM and said, "At least the task progress bar has increased. There's only a little bit left. If Qin Men can figure it out a bit more, he should be able to complete the task."

"Why don't you go back to sleep for a while?" Lu Renkui stretched out both hands, pointing with his index finger to the large hole that the system WQBYRZM had just transmitted.

"Ah, there's another reason I came." System WQBYRZM loosened Lu Renkui's collar and said, "Erlin Yuqing and Chen Weiran are about to break up."

"? Did they have a fight and still haven't forgiven each other?" Lu Renkui asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It wasn't just the argument we had before, but also Luo Yingying's instigation and Gu Changlin's opportunistic intrusion." System WQBYRZM, sporting dark circles under his eyes, summoned a transparent panel and began typing on it.

“System 0814 and Cheng Menqin didn’t come to us as they expected because they were trying their best to get Lin Yuqing and Chen Weiran back together,” System WQBYRZM said, pulling up System 0814’s posts on its personal account.

Lu Renkui glanced at it. It was System 0814 complaining about why the relationship between the two female leads was different from what was described in the previous article.

"What stage are they at now?" Lu Renkui asked.

"Judging from 0814's comments, the breakup is just one final trigger away," said System WQBYRZM.

"Hmm, it seems like we can't be of much help either." Lu Renkui looked up and thought for a long time before coming to this conclusion.

“Yeah, that’s right,” said System WQBYRZM. “So I was simply woken up by the main system and forced to come here to pretend. This matter still needs to be handled by Chengmenqin and System 0814.”

"Huh?" Lu Renkui was stunned, then she asked, "Then why did you grab my collar and ask me what I needed to do?"

"I'm being grumpy when I wake up."

"what?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? I'm young, let me have my way."

"You son of a bitch."

Qin Men was amused by their conversation. She had finished lunch and was kicking small stones by the roadside to help digest her food.

He would kick a small stone for a while, then switch to another, and so on, until he reached the basketball court.

Generally, basketball courts are deserted at this spot, so Qin Men didn't observe the surroundings and continued kicking pebbles.

As he kicked, a flying kick sent a pebble flying onto a white down jacket.

Qin Men shuddered, and the girl who had been kicked also felt something fly onto her down jacket, turning her head to look.

Qin Men discovered that the girl was Chen Weiran.

Chen Weiran and Lin Yuqing met last night, and the argument started three minutes after they met.

Chen Weiran was so angry that she didn't concentrate on much of her morning classes. The more she thought about it, the more upset and angry she became. She even skipped lunch and ran to the basketball court to cry.

After crying for a long time, something landed on her back. At first, Chen Weiran thought it was Lin Yuqing coming to find her, but when she turned around, she saw that it was the girl whose style of dress was very similar to Lin Yuqing's.

"Oh my... are you alright?" Qin Men gave an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry, I was just kicking pebbles and didn't see anyone here."

"It's nothing." Chen Weiran sniffed, suddenly realizing that her current appearance was a bit embarrassing.

"Do you have any tissues?" Chen Weiran asked, wiping away her tears.

"Oh, I have some, I have some," Qin Men said, quickly pulling out a small pack of tissues from his pocket.

After handing over the tissues, Qin Men saw that Chen Weiran didn't seem to need her anymore, so she turned around and prepared to leave.

“Wait a minute,” Chen Weiran said, taking out his phone. “Let’s add each other’s contact information. I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

“Oh, no need for that,” Qin Men said, opening Alipay and showing his payment code. “Scan this, the tissues are three yuan.”

Chen Weiran remained silent for a while, then opened his Alipay account and scanned the QR code.

With a beep, the money transaction between the two was completed.

Qin Men had just put away his phone and was about to leave when he heard Chen Weiran roar, "What are you doing here now?"

Qin Men was startled and turned to look in the direction Chen Weiran had shouted.

Oh, Lin Yuqing.

That's normal... my foot! She, Qin Men, is still here, and suddenly this shout drags her into being a mere spectator.

Lin Yuqing stood at the entrance of the basketball court. Today she was wearing a dark brown trench coat, and her hair was still loose and draped over her shoulders, making it look like she had run all the way here and hadn't had time to fix it.

"Shui Shui! I misunderstood you." Lin Yuqing said as she rushed over to hug Chen Weiran.

Unexpectedly, Chen Weiran dodged away and hid behind Qin Men.

Qin Men inexplicably started playing the role of the mother hen in a game of tag.

"What do you want from me? Don't you think we had enough of arguing last night?" Chen Weiran cried and shouted, and Qin Men felt that her voice would break if she raised it any higher.

"No, Shui Shui! Let me explain!" Lin Yuqing said anxiously, trying to hug Chen Weiran behind Qin Men.

"Brother Gu Changlin beat up Gu Changlin, dragged him over, and explained to me that Gu Changlin was the one causing trouble in our relationship!"

"He and Luo Yingying want to break us up!"
