Chapter 108

This wasn't fantasy, a dream, or an illusion; it was a stark reality. Her voice had changed, her figure had changed, even her physiology had changed. The Hua Xin who used to hide in the Little Black to avoid everything had disappeared. His existence seemed to have meaning only because of Xia Yan's involvement. But now, what he was doing was striving for his existence. So ultimately, Hua Xin was just using her current identity to solve some problems; she still needed to continue living as a boy. Because of Xia Yan. It was that simple. "Wife, wife, where are you?" "I'm waiting for you at the subway exit. I'm wearing... I'll just send you a picture." Xia Yan then sent her a selfie from today. Lao Shui Xin, who had just been a little Hua Xin, instinctively tucked her loose hair behind her ear, revealing her fair profile and neck. Uh... it really is true that you can speak of Cao Cao and Liu Bei appear at will... A smile flashed in her eyes as she clicked on the photo and zoomed in on Xia Yan's selfie with two fingers. A light white jacket paired with a long-sleeved shirt underneath, the word "love" barely visible, and dark blue jeans made him look very refreshing, without any sense of unapproachability. Perhaps it was because Xia Yan's temperament was still as sunny and gentle as ever. Hua Xin pursed her lips, somewhat dissatisfied, and withdrew from the photo. The smile and joy in her eyes were instantly replaced by a feeling of bewildered annoyance. Xia Yan was always like this. Even if he didn't want to do something, he would still go to great lengths to be gentle, generously sharing his sunshine with everyone. Your gentleness... is really worthless. The girl thought to herself. Invincible Cat Fist: "Ugly as hell, get lost!" After deleting and revising, Hua Xin hesitated slightly, then hardened her heart and sent the message: "I want milk tea... hot!" The first milk tea of winter? The image she'd seen in a video involuntarily flashed into her mind: compensation! The girl glared fiercely at Xia Yan's reply before finally revealing her whereabouts with a satisfied look in her eyes. The subway stopped again, and Hua Xin suddenly looked up as if she'd remembered something. She then turned off her phone, put it back in her white handbag, and stood up somewhat anxiously, walking out. She'd almost missed her stop! That wretched Xia Yan... After leaving the station, Hua Xin felt a little lost. Which way should she go? Everyone around her seemed to have their own destination; she was the only one standing there, feeling somewhat out of place. Hua Xin tried hard to find a sign indicating the bus stop. "Hey, pretty sister, are you lost?" "I've seen you standing here for ages! Where are you going? I can help you if you don't mind!" A lively, energetic voice rang out beside her, pulling the somewhat lost girl back to reality. She turned her head and saw a girl in a white sweater with her hands behind her back looking at her with a familiar, sunny smile... Looking into those pale purple eyes, Hua Xin felt a sense of trust welling up inside her for some reason. Why did it feel so familiar?... Although she didn't understand, she hesitated slightly and whispered, "I'm going to Line 2 at Nanjing Road..." The girl smiled with delight and said, "That's my destination too! Want to come together, sister? I know how to get there!" The girl familiarly grabbed Hua Xin's sleeve and, before Hua Xin could react in her confusion, pulled her towards the other side of the subway. (Is everything alright?) There was no physical contact. Seeing the girl's lively and sunny demeanor, and since she wasn't being led to anything strange, Hua Xin didn't pull away, letting her gently tug at her sleeve. The girl walked ahead, chattering incessantly to Hua Xin, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. In her mind, she slowly superimposed the current girl onto the girl in the photo on someone's phone last night. Match rate. "1000%." Because the real person is much prettier than the photo! Plus, the JK uniform is a bonus! "I'm so jealous of your luck! If I were a guy, I really couldn't help but transform into Rengar if I saw such a beautiful woman..." "Xia Yan, how did you do that... Xia Yan, did you secretly pray to the God of Love for a match? I'm so jealous of you!!" "Brother..." "You hit the jackpot!!!" "Why is my sister-in-law- in-law so beautiful and cute!" Xia Fen excitedly muttered to herself in her heart. 93. Invincible Cat Fist and a Shrimp-Headed Guy? 4k4 "Beautiful sister, beautiful sister... what are you going to do?" "Nanjing Road is mostly frequented by tourists and people who are out having fun. Someone like me, a country bumpkin, rarely has the chance to come to Shanghai..." "Beautiful sister, are you here alone too?" Xia Fen's downcast expression shifted to a hint of curiosity, her eyes occasionally shining with adoration as she looked at Hua Xin, completely different from her lively and sunny demeanor at the station. It was like... a fangirl who had successfully met her idol. She affectionately called her "beautiful sister," seemingly quite fond of Hua Xin. "..." Although Hua Xin was still somewhat nervous and fearful, she felt much less tense facing Xia Fen, who was also a girl. She was much calmer than when the boy had approached her earlier. She lowered her head slightly, her back hunched, and said softly, "I... am looking for a friend." (Are all overly familiar people this scary??) (How can strangers suddenly become so close??) (Can the subway go faster??) "Oh~" "Is it your boyfriend?" Xia Fen asked casually while playing on her phone. But her slight move closer to the girl showed that she cared. Boyfriend? Hua Xin's eyes narrowed. Wait, didn't she just say that word?? But how could the word "boyfriend" have the same meaning as her previous boyfriend?! One was a random excuse, the other was a real identity that needed to be acknowledged, how could they be lumped together???! "It's just a friend." (Just a good friend) the girl said firmly. "Ah~ just a friend..." Xia Fen repeated thoughtfully, a slight doubt rising in her mind, but she didn't dwell on it. Dude... did you even get him (nmd)?! Or did I ask the wrong person? "That can't be right..." She silently scorned Xia Yan in her heart, then pretended to be downcast and said, "To be honest... sister... actually, I came here today to catch him cheating?" Caught cheating? What's going on? Hua Xin looked at Xia Fen in a daze. The cute girl in her eyes should be a high school student, right? So young and already in a relationship? And she's been cheated on? Could it be that damned blond guy and some kind of 'spiritual girl'...? She silently clenched her little fists, already imagining a tragic Crypt Lord scenario. "My boyfriend is very handsome, sunny, and has a perfect body... but we're in a long-distance relationship, and recently he and I..."
