Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Suddenly, I don’t find you so annoying anymore_1

"Lin Qingyu, oh, what a coincidence that we meet here. It must be fate," said the annoying face, smiling brightly.

Regaining her senses, Lin Qingyu didn’t hesitate and immediately turned to leave, leaving behind the ’click’ ’click’ sounds of a camera capturing her.

"Monster!!" Lin Qingyu fumed internally.

But she stopped, turned around, and spoke up: "Yang Gang, what on earth are you up to? I made it clear yesterday. I can’t be your girlfriend. You’d better give it up!"

Yang Gang smirked: "Don’t get angry. I didn’t come here to make you my girlfriend."

"So what do you want?" Lin Qingyu asked, remaining on alert. She sensed that Yang Gang could be even harder to deal with than Ling Yunfei, the notorious playboy.

Yang Gang pointed to the sign at the entrance of the water park for the "Couples’ Water Challenge": "I want to join the water challenge, but according to the rules, it must be a mixed duo. Can you team up with me?"

Lin Qingyu looked exasperated: "That’s for couples!!"

"What’s the big deal? Nobody will know we are a fake couple," Yang Gang countered.

"For you, maybe it’s no big deal. But for me, it’s a huge issue! I have a boyfriend. What if he sees us and misunderstands?!" Lin Qingyu refused decisively.

"Huh... you really like your boyfriend a lot," Yang Gang said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"Of course! We plan to marry after we graduate!" Lin Qingyu mentioned her boyfriend, a faint smile of happiness appearing on her face.

"But, are you sure your boyfriend is a reliable man?" Yang Gang asked again.

"Absolutely! My boyfriend may not be as tall, handsome or wealthy as you. But he treats me very well and is devoted to me. That’s enough for me," Lin Qingyu responded.

"Hmm..." Yang Gang thought about the scene he had witnessed last night, her boyfriend’s tryst with another woman. He wanted to say something but eventually held his tongue.

"That’s it, goodbye!" Lin Qingyu prepared to leave.

"Hold on." Yang Gang paused, then said, "The Couples’ Water Challenge has a prize. The first prize is a doll that every girl in the world dreams of - the first edition of a Barbie."

"A Barbie doll? I’m not interested," Lin Qingyu said dismissively.

Huh?

Who said all girls can’t resist Barbie dolls?

Fucking liars!

Seeing Lin Qingyu about to leave again, Yang Gang added, "This collector’s edition Barbie can fetch a minimum price of one million."

Lin Qingyu’s eyes lit up at once: "O...one million?"

"At least," said Yang Gang.

Lin Qingyu lowered her head, torn with hesitation.

Yang Gang glanced at the time, and said, "The registration deadline is near."

Lin Qingyu’s face reflected her struggle, then after a moment, she bit her lip and asked, "What if we win the Barbie doll?"

"Simple. We auction it on the spot and split the proceeds fifty-fifty," Yang Gang explained.

Lin Qingyu fell silent, then after few deep breaths, she looked up, a determined look in her eyes: "Fine! But we need to set some ground rules beforehand – no taking advantage of me! If you dare try anything inappropriate, I’ll bite off my tongue and end it!"

Yang Gang was taken aback. Man, even loyalty has its limits!

Then Yang Gang remembered his fiancee, Su Xiaoxi, known for her fickleness.

Sigh, the most painful thing in life: even to take advantage of his own fiancee he has to pay. Su Xiaoxi, what do you take yourself for!!

Yang Gang quickly cleared his mind, and said to Lin Qingyu, "Deal."

Then the two hurried to the registration counter.

Just their luck, the registration was about to close.

"We want to register for the Couples’ Water Challenge," Yang Gang said.

The middle-aged man in charge of the registration glanced at Yang Gang and seemed uninterested, "Registration is closed, you better leave."

Yang Gang, unflustered, pulled out a bundle of crisp RMB notes from his pocket: "Really can’t register now?"

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened at the sight of the money. He looked around, saw no one was paying attention, quickly hid the money, and said with a grin, "Yes, you can register."

Having successfully registered, Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu hurried to the competition area.

On the way, Lin Qingyu stealthily glanced at Yang Gang. She wanted to say something but decided against it, then finally asked, "How much money did you give that man?"

"Oh~ I don’t know, a few thousand yuan perhaps," Yang Gang replied nonchalantly.

Lin Qingyu bit her lip and fell silent. After a while, she asked, "Yang Gang, why do you want to join this contest?"

"Why?" Yang Gang was taken aback.

He had only signed up because he was annoyed to see Yang Fei and Huang Tianlin forming a duo and wanted to compete against Huang Tianlin. Of course, he was not about to tell Lin Qingyu this.

After a brief thought, he casually replied, "I want to donate the proceeds from the auction of the Barbie doll to an orphanage."

"An orphanage?" Lin Qingyu seemed surprised.

Yang Gang stared ahead, remarking lightly, "My mother died in a car accident when I was six months old. I empathize with those orphans who have lost their parents, knowing the pain of not having them. I feel I should be able to do something for the orphanage. But it’s not right to use my family’s money, so."

He looked deep in thought, with a melancholic expression on his face, exuding a holy aura.

My God.

This...this was definitely an Oscar-level performance!!

Lin Qingyu clearly seemed moved, "I suddenly feel...you’re not as annoying as I thought."

Yang Gang twitched the corner of his mouth. This girl was easy to fool. Su Xiaoxi would have seen through the lie instantly! Thinking it over, throughout the years they’ve been together, he couldn’t keep any secrets from Su Xiaoxi. She was truly his nemesis!

Just then, someone called out "Yang Gang".

Yang Gang and Lin Qingyu both turned to see the two people across the road, then the four of them just stared at each other.

After a moment, Yang Fei was the first to speak, looking upset: "Yang Gang! What are you up to?"

"What’s up?" Yang Gang glanced at Lin Qingyu, smirked, and replied, "Of course, participating in the Water Challenge."

"With her?" Yang Fei pointed to Lin Qingyu.

"Yeah," Yang Gang nodded.

Yang Fei looked even more upset, "Please! It’s for couples. Are you two a couple?"

"Hmm~ Interesting. Yang Fei, are you and Huang Tianlin a couple?" Yang Gang hadn’t even spoken when Lin Qingyu chimed in.

Yang Gang looked surprised at Lin Qingyu. This popular school belle was standing up to Yang Fei, head to head.

This...

Normally, Yang Fei was very popular in the university. Whether it was daughters of wealthy families or commoners, everyone respected Yang Fei. But Lin Qingyu was acting like a worthy rival.

This baffled Yang Gang a bit, including his own sister. With Yang Fei’s personality, seldom would she confront anyone directly, but now she seemed ready for a showdown.

This...

There’s something fishy here. Did these two have a feud?
