Devil Adam (Please Vote!)

At the prom.

"Hi."

Adam's gaze lingered more on Karen.

Adam had seen both Jennifer's and Karen's faces in his previous life. Both were his type.

But compared to the provocatively dressed Jennifer, Karen—wearing glasses and plain, slightly dowdy clothes—attracted Adam more.

Zhou Shuren once said: first-rate men played with legs year-round, second-rate men sought fortune and avoided disaster, and third-rate men looked at faces.

Adam considered himself not to be third-rate, but he did not deliberately pursue being first-rate either. He was simply an ordinary second-rate man.

Of course, those three were not mutually exclusive. True goddesses possessed all three in equal measure. Karen, with her somewhat dowdy appearance, was clearly that kind of hidden treasure, while Jennifer, who looked incredibly hot, merely had wind and clouds joining as one.

"You came here to have fun?"

"We just moved here. We'll be enrolling next semester."

Jennifer stepped forward, blocking Adam's view of Karen, and smiled seductively. "Then we'll be classmates, Adam."

"You know me?"

Adam smiled.

"You're the lead singer of Fruit Hard Candy. Of course we know you."

Jennifer said passionately, "Your instrumental performance was super amazing~"

"Thanks."

Just as I thought. Adam silently praised himself for following Juno's suggestion to keep the band going.

"Hi, I'm Emmett, the band's drummer and backing vocalist."

The commotion here had already caught plenty of attention, and Emmett was no exception. He immediately slid over with a smooth step and put on an act as he greeted Jennifer and the others.

"Hello."

Jennifer glanced at him, then pulled Karen from behind her into view. "This is my best friend, Karen. You two can get to know each other better."

"It's about to start."

Seeing Emmett about to start showing off again, Adam could not help ending the conversation. How could he fail to see what Jennifer meant? Though he preferred Karen, he was not stupid enough to offend Jennifer now.

He was not a child.

"We'll talk later."

"Okay."

Jennifer beamed.

Adam pulled Emmett back to the stage, and they started rocking out.

"They don't seem like good people."

Standing beside Jennifer, Karen saw Jennifer staring dreamily at Adam onstage and could not help warning her, "Especially that Adam. You can tell at a glance he's a playboy."

"I know."

Jennifer began swaying to the music, lightly tossing her long hair as she smiled carelessly. "That's what makes men like that interesting~"

Karen stood there blankly, the light reflecting off her glasses seeming like fire.

Her perception completely detached from reality.

Jennifer was hers!

You were all bad people!

"Come on, let's go to the restroom."

Karen suddenly grabbed Jennifer and ran toward the restroom.

"WTF?"

Jennifer was completely baffled. But Karen, usually so frail, was acting completely differently now. Her grip was so strong that Jennifer could not resist as she was dragged straight into the restroom.

"I know how to get out."

Karen kicked open the restroom window and squeezed herself outside, calling to Jennifer as she climbed.

"You're crazy. You've completely lost it."

Jennifer shouted, shook off Karen's hand, and left the restroom, leaving Karen standing there in a daze again.

At the prom.

Right in the center.

Little Sheldon and Missy danced while everyone gathered around, watching and cheering.

Compared to Little Sheldon's stiff awkwardness, Missy was starting to enjoy the feeling. In the end, she simply let go of Little Sheldon and began copying dances she had seen on television, swaying to her heart's content.

She was even beginning to regret not wearing that angel dress.

Because she was an angel, after all!

When the song ended.

"That was amazing."

Jennifer moved up to the edge of the stage and flirtatiously winked at Adam.

"Thanks."

Adam gestured for Emmett to play the prerecorded song so they could take a break, then smiled at Jennifer. "Oh, right. Where's Karen?"

Jennifer's expression immediately stiffened. She forced a smile and said, "She doesn't like places like this."

Then she leaned close to Adam and whispered, "She's been a virgin forever, and she's a little unstable too. You wouldn't like a girl like that, would you?"

In the United States, lifelong virgins of either sex were looked down upon, because it meant you had no charm.

On the contrary, having fought countless battles and developed impressive skills was something to be proud of.

Heh.

So this was what best friends were like!

"Unstable?"

Adam inwardly scoffed, but he had caught the key point.

"Yeah."

Jennifer got more animated. "She's always had some problems. Just now, she dragged me into the restroom and wanted me to escape through the restroom window with her. Can you imagine that?"

"You're joking, right?"

Adam shook his head, looking at Jennifer with some suspicion.

Was this some upgraded version of guarding against fire, theft, and your best friend—stabbing your best friend in the back first, just in case?

"What do you think?"

Jennifer stared straight at Adam without the slightest evasion in her eyes.

"Hiss, no way."

Adam was startled. Only then did he remember that this was the United States, a place of simple folkways and abundant talent. Amazing Amy and Juno, his ex-girlfriends, had both appeared. Another lunatic was entirely possible.

Combined with Jennifer saying Karen had been a virgin forever, Adam pondered for a long time. Though it was a pity, he decided to give up on Karen.

After all, he was not Scumbag Chen!

His principle was not to toy with feelings!

Karen truly was a hidden treasure, but she was too innocent. Whether Jennifer's claim that Karen was unstable was true or false, he could only give her up.

Zhou Shuren had once said: scumbags belonged with scoundrel women!

Adam declared: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once made the great vow, "Until hell is empty, I shall not become a Buddha." Though Adam was no great man, he too was willing to follow the example of the sages and use this mortal body to save every scoundrel woman around him. Until scoundrel women ceased to exist, he swore never to marry.

"Am I really not as good as Karen?"

Jennifer said unhappily.

"Of course not."

Adam sighed inwardly, cutting off his thoughts of Karen and focusing on Jennifer again. With his discerning eye, he saw through Jennifer at once.

Without question, she was a scoundrel woman!

"Can you repair cars?"

Adam could not suppress his curiosity.

"Repair cars?"

Jennifer looked surprised. "A little. Why?"

The United States was a nation on wheels. People relied on driving to get around, and they could not take their cars to repair shops every time something went wrong—it was neither convenient nor economical. Therefore, car owners, men and women alike, generally knew at least a little about repairing cars.

Many big shots started their businesses in garages. This was because detached houses in rural America commonly had garages: people parked there normally, and when their cars developed minor problems, they simply repaired them in the garage themselves.

"Hehe, impressive."

Adam gave her a thumbs-up and sincerely praised her.

"You can't?"

Jennifer smiled. "Call me next time something comes up. I'll help you fix it."

"It's a deal!"

Adam was delighted, wondering whether he should wreck Old Man Bob's pickup truck later.

The two chatted and laughed, getting along extremely well.

In the distance, Karen stared blankly at them, her eyes filled with darkness. Adam's smile looked so savage and evil, as though he were a devil.

Onstage, Juno sat quietly in a corner like a spectator, her brows tightly furrowed...
