Even though Xie Shu didn't comment further, he lingered in the comment section.
Such matters concerning his reputation, of course, mattered to him.
Should he encounter any rumor-mongers, it would be easier to deal with having seen it himself.
His character was such that he met force with force.
However, after scrolling through dozens of comments, he found that most people weren't misled by the thread starter's title.
Probably because many from his college were present in the thread, his classmates knew the truth about him and Su Qianyi, naturally not falling for the thread starter's claims.
Even students from other colleges, uncertain of the truth, would realize the reality after reading through the comments, seeing that it wasn't as the title suggested.
【Thread starter, you should change the title. What if the person involved sees it and gets furious? To label such a devoted guy as a scumbag, anyone would be angry.】
【If I hadn't seen them myself on the back street tonight, I might have believed your nonsense.】
【If I weren't from the Art College, I might have fallen for it too.】
【I really feel for the campus hunk from the Art College, chasing the girl he likes for three years without success, and then after letting go, some people deliberately label him a scumbag for the sake of attention. If anyone knows the campus hunk, please private message me his contact, I want to comfort him tonight, help him out of the shadow of heartbreak, waiting online.】
【Above, I was a hired gun in Iraq, bullets whizzing by my ears, suddenly one hit my helmet, I thought I was a goner, I quickly ducked, took off my helmet to check it, thankfully it was just a scratch. I looked to the side, and it turned out to be your abacus beads.】
【First of all, I'm not a pervert, I just want to say the campus hunk from the Art College is so tall and handsome! Secondly, I'm not a pervert, the persistence to chase a girl for three years is making me cry! How can that lean waist of his not be held by someone? That body, skinny in clothes but muscular underneath, not letting me take a look is simply unreasonable! Lastly, I'm not a pervert, but I wonder if he minds talking about adult topics with me in the canyon tonight? Is it too sudden? I declare again, I'm really not a pervert.】
【Why don't you just admit it.】
【I really don't understand how young men nowadays can become scumbags. Is love just a joke to them? Where are their morals? Their bottom line? Their address? Their WeChat?】
【Several floors above, don't go too far! You can joke about it privately, but please don't tease my boyfriend online, consider the feelings of his girlfriend…】
Snap—!
Xie Shu didn't finish reading and lost interest.
Expressionless, he turned off his phone, placed it heavily on the table, and then went out to the balcony to wash up.
He hadn't said a word about today's incident with Su Qianyi on the back street to his dorm mates.
Since he didn't bring it up, naturally, they wouldn't ask.
After washing up, Xie Shu returned to the dorm, intending to chat with Ruan Nianxi before sleeping, but she seemed to be away, not replying to his messages, busy with something.
So, Xie Shu just sent her a goodnight message, set down his phone, and prepared to sleep.
"Xie Shu, you're going to bed so early again?"
Zhao Lin, seeing Xie Shu get into bed, asked curiously.
Lately, he seemed to have been bewitched into sleeping early.
This was not like him!
They used to be the types to stay up until the moon went down.
Now, why had his routine suddenly… become healthy?
"Mhm."
Xie Shu closed his eyes, grunted a response, turned over, and prepared to sleep.
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy.
"Xie Shu, you've been working part-time all day, aren't you going to relax a bit? How about a round in the game?" Li Da asked him.
"No."
The dorm fell silent for a few seconds, and just when Xie Shu thought they would leave him be, his blanket was suddenly yanked away.
He opened his eyes to see Li Da, that rascal, pulling at his blanket.
"How can you sleep at your age? Get up and log in!"
Xie Shu sat up, snatched his blanket back, and covered himself again: "No, my blanket is sick, I need to take care of it."
"…"
"Xie Shu, you've been acting strange these past few days, are you feeling weak? Maybe you should see a doctor…"
Before Liu Ping could finish speaking from the seat below, Xie Shu sat up abruptly from the bed.
Who's weak?
Seeing Xie Shu's reaction, Zhao Lin, Li Da, and Liu Ping exchanged glances.
Then one of them said: "So you're not up for it, just say so, we wouldn't have bothered you, forget it, the three of us will play."
Although Xie Shu knew they were doing it on purpose, he couldn't stand them implying he was incapable. What was he not good at?
Damn!
He was in top shape!
"Just one round."
To defend his male pride, Xie Shu decided to play one round in the game to show them his prowess.
These rascals!
Three days without a beating, and they climb to the roof to strip tiles!
And so, their scheme succeeded, Xie Shu went online, and the four of them formed a team.
Xie Shu wanted to invite Ruan Nianxi, but thinking it was just for one game, he didn't message her.
However, while they were matching and selecting heroes, he received a message from Ruan Nianxi.
He opened a small window to check the message.
Turns out she had just finished showering and had only been out for a short while.
Bored while waiting, he replied, and before he knew it, they were deep in conversation.
As the game officially started, he was running his character towards the tower while explaining to Ruan Nianxi that he had one more battle to fight, telling her to go to sleep first.
After sending the message, before he could close the small window, his character, standing motionless under the tower, was killed by a duo from the opposing team.
Less than a minute into the game, he had given away first blood.
It was an inattentive mistake, so Xie Shu didn't take it to heart, and his "sons" didn't say anything either. Just as he was about to focus on the game, the opponents sent a taunt:
【Can you even play? Giving away kills at the start?】
Xie Shu: "???"
Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish. To those who dare expose my faults, the ultimate penalty!
"Brothers, let's take them down!"
