Brother Hao probably returned to the dormitory around nine o'clock when there weren't many people coming back. Most of the lights were off around the male dormitories, but theirs was a bit better. Lu Yuhang didn't like this kind of lively atmosphere and stayed in the dorm listening to music with headphones on. When Brother Hao came back, Lu Yuhang found it odd and called out, "Brother Hao." "Hmm." Brother Hao seemed a bit down, merely acknowledging with a sound and then plopping down in his own spot. Seeing that Brother Hao wasn't paying attention to him, Lu Yuhang didn't say anything more and continued listening to music with his headphones on. Brother Hao sat there with his fists clenched, grinding his teeth. The events that had just unfolded were too chaotic for Brother Hao to even think. Even now, he couldn't figure it out. Why had Zheng Yanyan forcefully kissed Zhou Yuwen? Brother Hao told himself that he wasn't like Li Qiang, one of those unsophisticated bumpkins. There had to be a reason for everything. So, he first sent Zheng Yanyan a message: "You there?" The message disappeared into the void. From nine o'clock until ten, nobody replied to Brother Hao. Later on, even after he went to bed and was still staring at his phone, he couldn't take it anymore and sent a message to Zhou Yuwen. "Old Zhou, what are you up to?" He also received no reply, which made Brother Hao increasingly restless. "Was that scene on the stage something you guys arranged as part of the script?" "It must have been a problem with the lighting, right? You guys didn't actually kiss, did you?" "The two of you aren't involved, so why would you think of using a kissing scene? It must be Yanyan's idea, she's always so quirky." These messages were sent to both Zheng Yanyan and Zhou Yuwen. He sent a few lines at a time every few minutes, then seeing the other party ignoring him, he switched to the other person. Mostly, he sent them to Zheng Yanyan. He wanted to confront her, but he didn't dare; he could only ask in a tone that was neither tough nor soft: "What was that move just now? You scared me to death." "You didn't really kiss Old Zhou, did you (covering face)" "Oh, Brother Hao is here; I'm not supposed to talk, huh." Li Qiang chuckled, but he didn't continue and instead said as he hummed his tune, "Gonna use the bathroom." After saying that, he went to do his business. Watching Li Qiang's careless demeanor, Brother Hao felt angry but helpless. When Li Qiang came back out with his zipper not even done up properly, Brother Hao said, looking at his sloppy appearance, "Yanyan has already explained to me that what happened on stage was all part of the script and planned in advance; there's nothing to talk about!" "Script?" Li Qiang tilted his head and muttered, "Then Zheng Yanyan was really convincing in her performance. After she came off the stage, she even went on about being Old Zhou's girlfriend!" "?" Brother Hao was dumbfounded for a moment, then said, "Use your brain, it's not possible, okay? When have Yanyan and Old Zhou interacted? It's always been me and Yanyan together. Besides, with all the choices Old Zhou has, he would rather date Lu Lin than be with Yanyan! It's not like they're suddenly gonna start dating!" Li Qiang's face showed a flicker of displeasure. Brother Hao said, "It was all arranged!" Although Zheng Yanyan had not yet replied to Brother Hao, he was sure the overall direction was correct; it had to be a prearranged script. Otherwise, it made no sense. If you want to be in a relationship, just say it openly. It's not like I won't let you date. The problem is that there had been no indication at all. It was obvious that it was a script! "Zheng Yanyan told you this in person?" Li Qiang asked with a smirk, squinting at Brother Hao. Brother Hao shook his phone, "Would I lie to you about such a thing?" Discover more stories at empire "Then I've got no clue." Li Qiang said, twisting his mouth. He did not continue the conversation and just went to wash his feet and get into bed. In truth, what Brother Hao said did have a basis in fact. From Li Qiang's perspective, Zhou Yuwen being with Zheng Yanyan indeed seemed far-fetched. It was probably just acting. Too bad, it's half as fun. Li Qiang felt a bit disappointed. By the time Li Qiang had tidied up and gone to bed, it was almost eleven o'clock.
