Fake Slackers

Chapter 72 - Chapter 71

Xie Yu's palms were still a little sticky. After glancing at a message, he casually placed it aside and grabbed two tissues to wipe his hands.

He had just changed into a new sweater after taking a shower, but there was still some residue on the hem. It looked somewhat ambiguous, with a scent that mixed with the smell of laundry detergent.

As Xie Yu wiped his hands, he couldn't help but think of He Chao's uncontrollable behavior earlier. When he reached his climax, he bit down on Xie Yu's shoulder with dull teeth.

Xie Yu's movements paused for a moment.

According to the nature of this game, there would most likely be some official activities following this, such as "Celebrating the Return of the Trivia King Battle app and Randomly Distributing Thirty Sets of Rare Practice Questions" or "Win Prizes by Solving Problems, Let's Soar in the Ocean of Learning Together."

After carefully wiping his hand clean, Xie Yu picked up his phone and saw a private message with the subject line "Trivia King Battle Offline Meetup."

"..."

- Special benefits for old players! On the road of learning, have you ever felt lonely, lost, or tried hard to find good partners to grow and learn together?

- The organizer has decided to hold an offline meetup event! As a reward for old users, any player who registered as a member of the Trivia King family during the summer vacation can participate in this offline meetup. Let's share our learning experiences face to face and meet more like-minded friends with a heart for learning.

Xie Yu opened the next unread message expressionlessly.

It was a formal invitation with clear indications of the time, location, and itinerary of the meetup.

At exactly 10am this Saturday, the meeting will take place at Century City.

The itinerary is quite rich, including group homework writing, mutual consultation, sharing of favorite test papers or teaching materials, and even watching the movie <Birth of Einstein> together in a small cinema.

The invitation ended with a dignified statement: Looking forward to your arrival.

What a load of crap.

Xie Yu roughly skimmed through a few lines, lacking the patience to continue reading.

The rest should be about other details of this offline meeting, but his intuition told him that those crazy people who were active in the communication channel would not miss it.

Sure enough, the communication channel was lively.

For most people, when it came to meeting online friends in person, the biggest concern was what to wear and how to present themselves in a good light.

But these people were different.

"Serving the Motherland": Has everyone decided which set of exam papers to bring on the day of the meetup?

"For a Better Tomorrow": I've already decided. It has to be the timeless classic "Five-Year Mock Exam for Three-Year College Entrance Examination." This set of exam papers contains an extraordinary power. Once you open it, you can't help but go crazy and start answering questions.

"Learning, Learning, Learning, It's All I Live For": Then I'll bring "Heavenly Power 38 Sets" and we can all exchange ideas.

"English Class Representative": Me? I love "The Complete Guide to High School English Grammar" the most. It covers all the knowledge points, provides a unique grammar learning experience, has guidance from famous teachers, and helps overcome common mistakes.

......

Xie Yu sat on the edge of the bed, raised his hand to take off his sweater, and planned to take another shower.

With the faint light from the bathroom, the water flowed over his shoulders and caused a slight pain. Xie Yu suddenly realized that the idiot had actually bitten him.

Immediately after, the phrase "future" that He Chao had said began to echo in his ears.

Your future with me.

Xie Yu closed his eyes and sighed.

Perhaps it was because of the cool water temperature, but he felt more awake after the shower. Feeling awake, Xie Yu hesitated whether to go back to the "Trivia King Battle" game and do a few more questions.

When it last updated, he saw that there was a set of "Real Teacher Exam Questions" in the question bank. It seemed that the organizers really invited famous teachers to come and compile the questions, and finally came up with several exclusive test papers.

In just the time he took for a shower, the topic in the Trivia King forum had changed.

"I Love Learning": Has the showdown between God X and Shameless not ended yet?

"Striving for the Top": Yes, and the organizers have not announced the final candidate for the Trivia King.

"Learning, Learning, Learning, It's All I Live For": Didn't you guys see the announcement? The organizers sent them both private messages, saying they will continue to follow up.

When Xie Yu saw this, his fingers paused as he was searching for the test papers.

He had just read halfway through a pile of private messages that he didn't bother to read further, but there was indeed news about the Trivia King. Xie Yu scrolled down and saw a "Summer Tournament Explanation".

- Dear user 'jsdhwdmax', in the summer tournament, your season points are tied with user 'Trivia King', and the outcome is undecided. As the season has ended, the tournament system cannot be continued. We hope that you and 'Trivia King' can privately settle this matter.

Xie Yu read the message twice to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

Privately settle this matter.

In his friend list, the username and profile picture of 'Trivia King' were dimmed, and the status bar read 'offline'.

Xie Yu thought that this matter would probably end here. Maybe the other person had already deleted the game due to some mental illness. However, the next morning, he was awakened by a broadcast and received an unexpected message when he logged back in.

It was sent last night at around eleven o'clock, and the first sentence only had two words.

[Trivia King]: Forget it.

The Mad Dog continued his motivational speech on the broadcast, even though there were no exams scheduled in the near future. But that didn't stop him from looking ahead to the final exams: "Don't think you have a lot of time. Tomorrow and the day after, countless tomorrows will bury you. Classmates, today is the day, take action now!"

With one hand propping himself up, Xie Yu sat up and thought to himself, it seems like he and this "Shameless" guy are on the same page.

What's there to adjust? What's the point of competing?

Then Xie Yu looked down and saw two more sentences.

[Trivia King]: Admit defeat.

[Trivia King]: I'll let you off the hook.

Just three short sentences, but they were so arrogant.

Xie Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was already a little grumpy from being woken up so rudely, and now he was about to explode. Who's going to beat who? It's going to be a blast.

In the past, when Zhou Dalei came to find him in the morning and realized he was still in bed, he wouldn't dare to enter the room. He would shout through the door and then immediately turn and run away.

So, all the online users participating in the "Trivia King Battle" were surprised to see the usually quiet and reserved "God X" actually posting in the communication area.

"jsdhwdmax" said to "Trivia King": Idiot.

"jsdhwdmax" said to "Trivia King": If you don't come to the Century City on Saturday, you're a dog.

When He Chao knocked on the door, Xie Yu had just finished typing the last punctuation mark and was feeling annoyed.

Outside the door, there was still someone wailing.

Today, the motivational speech by the Mad Dog went overtime by five minutes. As he spoke, he couldn't even control the topic and ended up talking about his youthful days: "When I was in high school, I would wake up at five o'clock every day to memorize vocabulary words. Even if it was freezing cold outside, I couldn't stay in bed..."

Across the dormitory, several students couldn't help but bang on the walls: "Enough already - let countless tomorrows bury me."

Other students cried out from the depths of their souls: "Why didn't I think straight? Why did I choose to live on campus?"

When Xie Yu opened the door, his face didn't look too good.

He Chao leaned against the doorway, not at all surprised, and naturally reached out to ruffle his hair: "Little friend, why are you so restless every morning?"

Xie Yu replied, "I met an idiot, want to beat him up."

He Chao didn't understand, "What idiot?"

"Nothing, just someone online," Xie Yu turned around, ready to wash up, and added, "Close the door when you come in."

Xie Yu wasn't someone who enjoyed chatting online.

He Chao had checked out his boyfriend's QQ account and found it to be like a secondary account. When Wan Da had tried to add him as a friend several times, he never accepted. In the end, he had to gather the courage to ask him in person, only to find out that Xie Yu never even looked at his friend requests.

Wan Da was very frustrated, "Brother Yu, I added you eight times, and you didn't see any of them?"

Xie Yu replied, "I really didn't notice."

He was only more active on WeChat.

He Chao thought to himself that his boyfriend should have seen some weird news or comments early in the morning, "Anyone can go online, and there are bound to be some idiots."

After Xie Yu finished washing his face, he hung the towel back up.

He Chao was used to lying on Xie Yu's bed, half-lying down, watching him search for clothes in the closet.

Yesterday's school pants were not washed, and the other set was washed but not dry. Xie Yu searched for a while and could only wear his own clothes, and then grabbed a sweater.

As Xie Yu changed his clothes, He Chao felt like he was always finding trouble for himself.

...Why was he wandering around so early in the morning?

It was maddening.

Xie Yu put on his pants. His casual clothes were not as loose as the school uniform, but they still fit him well. After putting them on, his legs looked long and straight. His zipper was still undone, with his fingers resting on it, hanging at his waist.

As Xie Yu slowly pulled up the zipper, he casually asked, "Are you still sleeping?"

"I was planning to," He Chao replied, "...but now I can't sleep."

After He Chao and Xie Yu finished their meal at the cafeteria and headed upstairs towards their classroom, they saw Luo Wenqiang on duty.

Xie Yu stopped at the back door and didn't want to go any further. "What's gotten into him?"

With a cloth in his hand, Luo Wenqiang wiped the windows while twisting his butt and recalling the dance moves he learned yesterday. He hummed the beat, "La la, la la la, la."

He Chao: "..."

"Oh, you guys are here," Luo Wenqiang noticed them first, stopped twisting his butt and greeted them, "Good morning."

People were coming and going in the hallway.

Xie Yu wanted to cut off his relationship with Luo Wenqiang unilaterally.

On the other hand, He Chao adjusted quickly and said with a smile, "You're good at dancing, Mr. Physical Education. Your posture is graceful. If I were a girl, I would be enchanted by you..."

Xie Yu interrupted, "Enough with the acting, move on."

It was the first English class.

After finishing the dictation, Xie Yu lay on the desk for a while and found that he couldn't sleep. He reached out and took out his phone from the desk.

Now that he was sober, he felt that the two sentences he shouted in the Trivia King Battle competition this morning were a bit too much. There's no need to get angry. That "Trivia King Battle" is probably a dead nerd with glasses thicker than beer bottles. Do you really want to meet him face to face and take the test?

Xie Yu clicked on it and found that the communication area had exploded several times and still hadn't finished.

"My life is all about studying": Holy shit, is this going to be a face-to-face anal exam?!

"Top Ten In The Grade": Wow, God X is amazing!

"Tsinghua and Beijing University are not a dream": So cool!

"985211": God X, remember what you said! I took a screenshot. Whoever doesn't come is a dog!

Xie Yu: "..." Damn.
