Peach Milk: Why do I always feel like he and I are the same person?

Bai Yao’s anger hadn’t subsided.

Looking at the message he sent, he thought, if Peach Milk is really that bastard Liu Yucheng, then he’s too good at acting, right?!

Bai Yao didn’t plan to wrong an innocent person. Before finding clear evidence that they were the same person, it was better to treat them differently.

He sat in his chair, scratching his head in frustration.

Bai Yao carefully recalled all the chat logs, from the day the account [Why Bother Caring] was taken over by the buyer to when it was later renamed [Peach Milk].

He knew about Peach Milk, that he liked roast goose; he paid special attention to what happened around him; today, Liu Yucheng “kindly” came to take care of him, proactively explaining the frog outfit, but didn’t ask why his leg and face were injured.

Last night, the two did a voice call together, and Bai Yao didn’t hear anyone else’s voice on Peach Milk’s side, and it just so happened that Liu Yucheng went out to rent a room last night and wasn’t in the dorm.

But does Liu Yucheng have that much money to buy that game account?

Did he earn it by doing part-time jobs? Liu Yucheng, that social phobe, who usually talks so little, is he secretly a CV actor??

You’ve got to be kidding me.

Bai Yao knew that Liu Yucheng had a part-time job, but he never knew what the job entailed. Because he had never seen Liu Yucheng go to work on any day, except once, when Bai Yao sent him a message on Wechat to ask him out for dinner, Liu Yucheng replied: I’m doing a part-time job, wait for me.

The phone number Peach Milk sent to him belonged to a very unfamiliar city; and the Wechat account bound to this phone number was not registered with a real name…

Then how did he get away with it today? Bai Yao belatedly analyzed, estimating that he didn’t investigate thoroughly enough.

Thinking like this, Bai Yao’s blood pressure rose.

What does Liu Yucheng mean, is he playing with people??

Burning with anger, Bai Yao dragged his injured leg out of the dorm, wanting to rush directly to the fifth floor to question him.

However, the tearing pain of his leg injury forced him to calm down.

Not only could he not get to the fifth floor, but in his current state, he would just be delivering himself.

What’s more, directly pressing Liu Yucheng probably wouldn’t be of much use. Since Liu Yucheng was able to get away with it once, there would be a second time. He wouldn’t admit it.

Bai Yao clenched his fist—wait a little longer.

He must heal his leg before the end-of-term vacation; in the meantime, he must find key “evidence to kill.”

With evidence, he wouldn’t have to argue with Liu Yucheng, he could just beat him up and be done with it. If he still felt unsatisfied, he would make a PPT and burst him on the confession wall.

Bai Yao gulped down a full glass of water, brewed his emotions, and replied to Peach Milk: Of course not! I don’t talk in my sleep!

Bai Yao: Tell me… what did I say in my sleep last night?

As a result, after sending this message, Peach Milk didn’t reply anymore.

Bai Yao didn’t know if Liu Yucheng couldn’t see the hope of reconciliation and didn’t want to continue acting. In any case, before finding evidence, he didn’t plan to let Liu Yucheng off the hook.

This afternoon, Bai Yao wrote his homework while occasionally looking at Wechat to see if Peach Milk had replied.

For dinner, Bai Yao asked a friend from the next dorm to bring him a portion of porridge, plus the roast goose he hadn’t finished at noon, which was enough to get by.

It was past eleven o’clock in the evening, and his phone was still silent; only Zhang Yifang and Tao Lin in the 319 dorm group were chatting happily about the game.

Bai Yao extremely unwillingly began to speculate: What’s wrong with him, why doesn’t he reply to messages? What is he doing right now?

Could it be that they aren’t the same person at all, and then Peach Milk thinks that he is treating him as a substitute for his ex, and he might be angry…

But he and Peach Milk aren’t lovers, and Peach Milk also knows that he just broke up and hasn’t moved on, so it shouldn’t be that serious, right?

At twelve o’clock, Bai Yao forcibly convinced himself, took the initiative to open Peach Milk’s Wechat, and sent another message:

[Are you asleep already? What about the voice call you promised me tonight…?]

No reply.

After finishing his homework, Bai Yao went online to the game.

He was tired of doing tasks, and wanted to play dungeons, but he felt that it was a bit boring to play with strangers alone.

At this time of night, when it was quiet and the anger had subsided, the sadness that had been suppressed began to surface.

Bai Yao had many friends, but not many with whom he could confide in. He finally met a friend who he could play with and confide in, but this person was very likely his ex.

Thinking of this, he felt uncomfortable. How great would it be if he could prove that Peach Milk and Liu Yucheng weren’t the same person…

He kept pressing the space bar, jumping around in the game, and then opened his friend list and clicked on Peach Milk’s gray game avatar. When a friend is offline, the avatar is displayed in gray.

The two people’s friendship was 392; Peach Milk’s title was [Accompanied by Shadows], level 120. On the 30th time of opening Peach Milk’s avatar, Bai Yao finally realized something was wrong.

Damn, so melodramatic.

Bai Yao directly shut down the computer, washed up, and went to bed.

Climbing into bed was still difficult, but much better than last night, thanks to Liu Yucheng’s medicine…

Bai Yao cursed himself in his heart—he’d already treated him to dinner, so they were even, don’t think too much.

He lay in bed, scrolling through his phone while absentmindedly thinking, his thoughts already flying to a strange place. In this strange place, he kept questioning himself—how did he start liking Liu Yucheng in the first place.

Why did they go to rent a room together so soon after meeting? Was it because it rained heavily that night, and the two of them were trapped in a fast food restaurant near the school and couldn’t go back to school?

Renting a room was fine, it wasn’t strange for two ordinary male friends to rent a room together; but that night, why did the two of them develop into a kissing relationship overnight?

Bai Yao put down his phone and awkwardly pursed his lips—because he seduced himself.

And he was so carelessly hooked.

Later on, the two went out to rent a room for the second time, and Bai Yao became the one on the bottom. How painful it was that night, Bai Yao wanted to cry every time he recalled it.

He grabbed the quilt and covered his head, cursing under the covers.

“Woo woo.”

Feeling that his phone seemed to vibrate twice, Bai Yao lifted the quilt in a second, clicked into the Wechat interface at the speed of light, and then found that it was Zhang Yifang from the 319 dorm group who had @ him.

Bai Yao: What’s up?

Zhang Yifang: Nothing, just seeing if you’re asleep [grinning smile]. If you’re asleep, get up and pee, then let’s play a couple of rounds.

Bai Yao: Good boy, don’t disturb Daddy’s sleep.

Bai Yao: If you want to pee, go yourself, if you’re scared, let Uncle Peach Peach accompany you [grinning smile].

Zhang Yifang: …Damn

Tao Lin: Hahahaha

Bai Yao didn’t know what he was expecting just now.

Zhang Yifang was his good son, and seeing the message sent by his good son late at night, he didn’t feel like a bucket of cold water had been poured on his heart.

Estimating that Peach Milk wouldn’t reply tonight, Bai Yao locked his phone and threw it aside, closing his eyes to prepare for sleep.

As a result, less than ten seconds later, his phone vibrated “woo woo” again twice.

Originally thinking that Zhang Yifang had come to private chat, Bai Yao irritably clicked on Wechat and saw that the raccoon avatar with the note [Peach Milk] had a red dot.

The content was: Sorry, I didn’t sleep well last night, and I accidentally fell asleep this afternoon.

Peach Milk also asked: Did you have dinner tonight?

Bai Yao clicked on his avatar, hesitating how to reply, and Peach Milk quickly sent two more messages: Are you already asleep?

Peach Milk: Good night.

Bai Yao: What good night, what time is it? Don’t underestimate the ability of male college students to stay up late.

Bai Yao: I ate, my friend brought me porridge.

Peach Milk: Okay. You’re injured, you should rest early.

Bai Yao rebelliously said: I won’t, I want to do a voice call with you.

If the other person was Liu Yucheng, did he think that as long as he dragged it out until now, he could escape the voice call?

Liu Yucheng couldn’t possibly go to rent a room again tonight, right? He had already researched it when he was free this afternoon, today is Saturday, and the hotels near the school have long been occupied by couples, they are all full.

Peach Milk: Haha, okay, I’ll call you.

So readily? A bunch of question marks popped up in Bai Yao’s head.

“Hello.”

“You’re so clingy to me, does your ex-boyfriend know?”

The voice of CV Yuan Shuang came from Bai Yao’s headphones. Bai Yao couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, his voice was still so nice no matter how many times he heard it…

“Who cares if he knows.”

Bai Yao was already immersed in it, subconsciously treating him and Liu Yucheng differently, and frankly said: “I waited for you all afternoon.”

Peach Milk chuckled lightly.

“Do you think he and I are very similar?”

Peach Milk’s tone was extremely gentle, “Did you treat me as him?”

Bai Yao thought, he avoided me all afternoon, wasn’t it really for this reason?

“Really not.”

Bai Yao said: “Sorry, I thought you two were the same person this afternoon, and I was a little irritable.”

“Then do you hope he and I are the same person?” Peach Milk asked him.

Bai Yao answered without hesitation: “I don’t hope so, you must not be…”

“No, I’m not at ease, can we have a video call?”

Something’s not right.

“You don’t have to show your face, let me see your arm or hand is fine…”

Too weird.

His mouth ran ahead of his brain!

“I’m really sorry, listen to what nonsense I’m talking…” Realizing that he had said something offensive, Bai Yao instantly felt very sorry, “Just pretend I didn’t say it, I’m very sorry.”

In the headphones, there was another burst of Peach Milk’s light laughter.

“Why are you so cute?” He said in a low voice, “That’s a foul.”

Bai Yao: “?”

“I would be embarrassed to have a video call.”

Peach Milk paused for a few seconds, and then said: “But if you don’t show your face, I can take a photo for you. Provided that—”

“Say you like me, say it in a voice call.”

Bai Yao shrank into the quilt, listening to CV Yuan Shuang’s male lead voice, saying this sentence that was so flirtatious.

Who is fouling now? Who can handle this??

His face is so hot!

He was also puzzled—did he fall in love with Peach Milk?

He still can’t be sure if Peach Milk is Liu Yucheng himself, how is he going to fall so quickly?

What made him even more terrified was that if he combined Peach Milk’s voice with Liu Yucheng’s face, figure, collarbone… Bai Yao was not only feeling hot on his face—he was starting to feel hot all over.

Bai Yao lifted the quilt, looked down at his sleeping pants, and was already anxious to the point of crying.

Help, is there anyone who can save him!!

He really wanted to sit in a time machine and go back to the time before he met Liu Yucheng, before he met Peach Milk!

But at this moment, Peach Milk gave him another catalyst: “You can look at any part of me you want. My scenic area is permanently free for you.”
