Wow! Lina was trying to seduce me, but it didn't work, so now she was resorting to stirring up trouble. I was speechless. I wanted to retort, "Do you know her boyfriend is actually me?" But I held back.

There was no point in telling her that. Instead, I wanted to praise Felicia and make her so jealous she'd go mad.

"I know, but I don't mind."

As expected, Lina didn't reply for a long time. Eventually, a new message popped up.

"We could meet in person. I can go on a date with you. I look exactly like I do on screen. It's not just filters. Add me, and I'll even video call you."

I did not reply. Instead, I took a deep breath, trying to quell the anger rising in my chest.

"Lina! Do you have a bottom line? Just because Anonymous has money, are you willing to meet him offline? What's your endgame here? Are you seriously selling yourself out for 100 thousand dollars? I clearly overestimated your sense of dignity!" I thought.

However, I simply texted, "Sorry. I'm not interested!"

After leaving that message, I logged off immediately, unwilling to waste another word on her.

Walking past a small grove of trees, I stopped momentarily, my mind drifting.

I couldn't help but remember the times I went on dates with Lina here. Of course, it wasn't like we were doing anything too intimate, just simple kisses and hugs. Back then, we were just two naive college freshmen, completely inexperienced. She was so shy that whenever I kissed her, she would tremble nervously, her face turning red like a ripe apple.

I wasn't much better. Just touching her would make my whole body react.

We spent countless moments here exchanging sweet words and promises. I even remembered how worried she was back then. She would fret about the future, wondering if I would cheat on her when we were married and she got pregnant. I stupidly swore to her that if I ever cheated, I would die a terrible death.

Alas. It was hard to believe that was only a few months ago. It felt like a lifetime.

Ever since she met Joshua and experienced a life of luxury and vanity, she had changed. We drifted further and further apart.

I wondered if she would ever think about those times when she walked past this grove. Would she feel even a twinge of regret or remorse?

Shaking my head, I continued walking. When I reached the dorm, I saw Lina standing there. Was she here to see me? Did she figure out who I was? I suddenly felt tense. Slowing down, I pretended not to notice her and headed straight for the dorm.

"William!" she called out, stopping me in my tracks.

I turned to face her, my expression calm. "What is it?"

Without hesitation, she asked, "Didn't you check your phone? Your girlfriend, Felicia, was doing another suggestive livestream just now."

I paused for a moment before smiling. So that was why she was here. She was spreading rumors to drive a wedge between me and Felicia.

If only Lina would put this kind of effort into doing something meaningful.

"Got it," I replied.

Seeing my lack of concern, she became visibly agitated. "Do you even know what I'm talking about? I'm not done yet! During her livestream, the top contributor, someone named Anonymous, gave her tons of gifts. She even told everyone she likes Anonymous! You've been cheated on!"
