Chapter 6: Can’t Forget the Men

“Fatso, what’s the matter with you!”

Zhang Zhou Wei met Meng Fan outside the library. There was no more anger in his tone, only concern.

He had already been told most of the situation by his girlfriend Wang Ya Nan. Meng Fan approximately sent ten girls the same confession message on WeChat, and according to Wang Ya Nan, he’d hit on everyone, as every girl she talked to had received a confession from Meng Fan.

“How many girls did you confess to? Are you trying to start a factory? Did you confess to everyone in the class?” Zhang Zhou Wei said as he looked at Meng Fan. “Did you forget to take your medicine, or did your phone get a virus? This isn’t you! Usually, you stutter when you even talk to girls! What are you trying to do? Have you gone mad?”

“Yes, I am mad!”

Meng Fan knew by now his mass text confession had been exposed. It felt like the saying, ‘When you’re covered with lice, you stop itching. When you’re drowning in debt, you stop worrying.’ Then, unsure if a nerve struck in his brain or he suddenly gained intelligence, Meng Fan looked intensely at Zhang Zhou Wei and spurted out, “Do you know why I’ve been recklessly confessing to girls? Because I want to cover up the truth; I want people to think that I like girls!”

“What?”

Zhang Zhou Wei took a step back, intimidated by Meng Fan’s intensive stare. He suddenly had an uneasy feeling.

“But paper cannot contain a fire, nonetheless the fire burning in my heart! While I was waiting here, I finally understand, I am a straightforward man. Why do I need to pretend to like girls!” Meng Fan took a step forward.

Zhang Zhou Wei promptly took another step back. “Why can’t a straightforward man like girls? Do you have a misunderstanding towards the three words—straightforward man?”

“No, a straightforward man must be made of steel and iron. What kind of man would bully a girl? Real men should do what real men do!”

Meng Fan took another big step forward, forcing Zhang Zhou Wei to back against the wall with a thump. Meng Fan smiled. “So, I like you, let’s be together!”

“Get lost! I’m a straight guy. The kind of straight guy that likes girls!”

Panic-stricken, Zhang Zhou Wei tried to push Meng Fan aside. Meng Fan did not move from his spot. Zhang Zhou Wei, who weighed at most 110 pounds, had no chance of moving Meng Fan. He could only slither out from underneath Meng Fan’s arm and pointed to Meng Fan, screaming. “I treated you like a brother, and you want to sleep with me!”

Meng Fan yanked Zhang Zhou Wei. He was snickering as he asked, “Of course, I’m asking if you will sleep with me or not!”

“Sleep with you in hell!”

Zhang Zhou Wei struggled free. He distanced himself from Meng Fan.

Meng Fan saw his progress bar increase by 1. He felt ecstatic! It really worked!

It didn’t have to be a girl to reject him for his progress bar to grow. Confessing to guys worked just as well too!

“Okay okay okay. If you won’t sleep with me, it’s your loss. Let’s continue to be bros!” Meng Fan’s skin was growing more and thicker.

“Too late, can’t go back now!”

“Don’t be dramatic, darling. Let’s go find somewhere to eat.”

“Who’s being dramatic… Hell, don’t talk to me in that kind of tone!”

After their rustle, Zhang Zhou Wei naturally knew that Meng Fan was deliberately messing with him, so he allowed curiosity to get the best of him and returned to their starting point.

“What really is the matter with you, confessing to so many girls?”

“It’s obviously because seeing you with your girlfriend got me really excited, I want to expand my fishnet and see if I can get some fish as well.”

“Really?”

“Unless you hope it’s fake; unless you hope I’m actually interested in you?”

“Get lost!”

….

Through Zhang Zhou Wei, Meng Fan was able to confirm that rejections received from confessing to guys could also be denied, furthering his progress. As for how he felt about this method, Meng Fan was very ashamed… Well, best to be aware of the shame and move forward courageously. He gritted his teeth. He was going to brace the male students and send out another mass confession text!

Gender equality exists! Since it was also effective on guys, it was naturally not enough to only bother the girls and excuse the men!

“What the hell are you doing?”

Meng Fan finished ordering the food. A crooked smile was hanging on his face. No matter how he looked at it, Zhang Zhou Wei felt weirded out.

“Nothing nothing.”

Meng Fan waved his hands, diverting the topic: “Did you order the fish? The kind with extra bones? I can clean them out real good.”

“You’re still not done yet are you!”

Zhang Zhou Wei was nauseated beyond belief, but seeing as Meng Fan was the one treating him at a waterside restaurant outside of campus, he endured it.

The food came—all delightful dishes that could not be found at school.

Despite already eating quite a bit with Wang Ya Nan on their date that afternoon, Zhang Zhou Wei still found the appetite to bury himself in the delicious foods.

“Huh?”

After looking up several times, Zhang Zhou Wei saw that Meng Fan’s fingers were furiously drumming on his cell phone, ignoring the food. That’s odd, this fatty usually gets more excited from seeing food than seeing a pretty girl.

What’s the matter with him today?

In one swift motion, he snatched the phone from Meng Fan. He was dumbfounded after just one glance.

Meng Fan took this opportunity to seize his phone.

“What the F**k, you sent the damn text to guys too?” Zhang Zhou Wei stared in shock at Meng Fan. “Is this a prank? A behavioral art exhibit? Or are you actually crazy?”

Meng Fan took a look at his “progress” which was still rapidly growing. He was in a great mood and grateful, this time around he smartened up.

This time, aside from quotes such as “I like you to be my girlfriend”, Meng Fan also incorporated a second line.

“If you are going to reject me, please be blunt and respond with gracious “get lost”. Silence is okay too.”

Once this sentence was added, the results improved significantly. These guys did not care if Meng Fan was joking or mistaken, for they very happily responded with a “get lost”.

Such an incorrigible request, how could anyone not satisfy it?

With this sentence, it gave the “system” a standard for judgment. Unlike before it didn’t require a “no thank you” type response anymore.

Not much time went by as his progress bar started growing.

The “System” being intelligent or not still depends on the user and his willingness to ponder!

Meng Fan was very satisfied with his sudden burst of intelligence.

As for the “silent” responses, Meng Fan did not have time to count if it was also inside the “system”.

From the time he met Zhang Zhou Wei to finishing their meal, during this period, the first wave of confessions still netted one “rejection” after another, in addition to its current growth. During this short time, his progress had increased to 90.

Meng Fan’s male contacts far exceeded his girl contacts; if it followed this momentum, he would be at 100 in no time.

“I lost a bet, so I have to confess and be rejected one hundred times.”

Meng Fan lied to Zhang Zhou Wei, almost breaking into tears. “I didn’t know confessing to guys was okay too, so I…”

“Really?”

Zhang Zhou Wei did not believe him completely. “What were you betting on? Were the stakes that high? This doesn’t seem like something someone like you could do.”

Meng Fan scratched his head. “Actually, it’s all right. At least I think my skin had gotten a lot thicker now. It’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

Meng Fan was not lying.

“I’m very impressed by you!”

Helpless, Zhang Zhou Wei continued, “Are you not afraid of this going south?”

“Nah, nobody will agree to date me anyway.”

Meng Fan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He thought about it and then said to Zhang Zhou Wei, “I’m just a little embarrassed to have disturbed so many people.”

Suddenly he stood up. “Stop eating, come apologize with me!”
