Xia Yan wiped his face with a towel, then raised his head and smiled.
It was an exceptionally standard formulaic smile.
The boy in the mirror had just washed his face, and a few droplets of water still clung to his black, tousled hair. His skin was slightly pale, his features sharp and handsome, and his deep eyes held a gentle warmth. He wore no unnecessary accessories. His bare upper body revealed solid muscles and defined abs...
He was the standard invincible handsome guy who looked outwardly sunny but was secretly a wolf.
It was easy to imagine him as the kind of scumbag who went to nightclubs and hotels to feast on pretty girls...
But that wasn't the case.
"Ding ding ding." The phone placed to the side let out a notification sound.
Xia Yan's smile faded, and his face instantly became icy cold, the sunny air around him disappearing without a trace.
Ever since he had become the class monitor, he had stopped putting his phone on silent. He often needed to pass along notices issued by the university, so he couldn't afford to miss them.
He walked a little farther inside, away from the tightly closed door, and opened WeChat.
It was Hua Xin again...
She had already taken three days off, which meant that tomorrow...
Xia Yan sighed and instantly replied with a ????, but his feelings were complicated.
He had learned from the counselor about the circumstances of this girl, who was supposed to be the final roommate in their dormitory.
She had been bullied by her classmates since middle school and treated unfairly by her teachers. Then some changes had occurred in her family, resulting in the many pages of medical reports.
The lifeless, evasive eyes in her file reminded Xia Yan of his past self.
Even if the counselor hadn't asked him to take extra care of Hua Xin, Xia Yan would have done his best to help her anyway.
Seeing that it was already ten past six, he was about to turn off his phone and get ready for his morning run when several more messages popped up on QQ.
Invincible Cat Fist (Virtual Pet):
A man's instincts compelled Xia Yan to swipe to the right.
After all, who could refuse ????...
"?"
He stared speechlessly at the messages sent by the girl. He couldn't help finding them funny, but at the same time, he fell silent.
Had I really taken the bait just like that? (frustrated)
He didn't know what kind of fit this cat, which he had killed twenty-five times in a row, was throwing now. (refusing to admit defeat)
Several more messages came through, but Xia Yan had already turned off his phone. He quietly changed his clothes and left for his morning run.
Inside a small room where sunlight never entered.
Hua Xin stared at her phone nervously, but the other side still hadn't replied.??
Had he not seen it...? Or was he not awake yet...? This was the first time she'd ever sent a voice message to someone else. (embarrassed)
Although, because she felt a little awkward, she had sent two embarrassing pictures and teased him a little...
She hesitantly opened the voice message she had just sent: ??|???|??|||5″.
??|???|??|||5″: "1s (no sound), 2s (no sound), 3s (Bro...), 4s (pause), 5s (Big bro...)"
Her soft, sweet, delicate voice sounded incredibly cute and pleasant, completely unlike those deliberately cutesy voices or ones enhanced by voice-changing software.
But Hua Xin's face instantly flushed red, as if steam were rising from her head.
Th-this was her voice??????
It sounds so nice, so sweet... I want to ??...
Something was wrong.
The girl wiped away her drool and came back to her senses.
Just now, she had called some guy whose appearance and age she didn't even know—and who had taken twenty yuan from her—what...? What had she called him? Big bro?
The next moment, her eyes filled with fury as she jabbed viciously at the voice message.
"Unsend, unsend, unsend, unsend, unsend, unsend...!!!!"
Hua Xin, Hua Xin!
What had you done!??
Without the cover of being a man, how were you going to stand up to this bastard jungler?!
Wait??... Why did she need to stand up to him? Wasn't she supposed to seduce him and make him Explode Gold Coins?
Rather than sending useless, friendly greetings, she could make him lose himself in her voice and beauty until he became hopelessly addicted—working at a construction site every day, sending her every penny he earned, and begging her to insult him again, send another picture, or call him "Big bro" once more, until he became a puppet under her control who knew nothing except sending money??...
Yes... that's right!!
Her desire for revenge had already exploded, completely washing away the girl's embarrassment.
Hua Xin silently lowered her hand, even though the notification that the message could no longer be withdrawn had already appeared.
The girl's eyes were filled with smugness.
Who could possibly refuse her?
Who could refuse such a sweet voice, like the soft speech of Jiangnan?
Who could refuse the temptation of long legs, jade-like feet, and ice cream???
At any rate, she couldn't refuse it herself??...
But Hua Xin immediately rejected the idea of taking pictures of her legs and toes. She would never sell her body and soul for money. As a living person with dignity, she had her own principles. (serious, resolute expression)
Then Hua Xin looked at the chat window on her phone, and her eyes seemed to turn into coins. (???????)
"What kind of master jungler? What Just Love Killing Supports? What a shrimp-headed man?"
"One day, I want you kneeling on the floor, licking my feet!! (daydreaming)"
Then she continued dancing her fingers across the phone keyboard, sending several more messages.
The thrill of turning an enemy into a servant sent the girl into a self-indulgent daydream for a while. She remained immersed in her imaginary mental victory for a long time, even forgetting about the Kang Shuaifu spicy beef noodles that had been sitting beside her for twenty minutes.
Sure enough...
The next moment, a wail filled the room.
"My instant noodles, aaahhh!!!!??"
Hua Xin looked at the noodles, which had gone completely soggy, with profound anguish and took a bite through her tears.
"They're still delicious.??"
"Can't waste them..."
Meanwhile, at Magic City University's athletic field.
Even though it was only the morning of the first day of the new semester, some people had already begun living disciplined lives.
Xia Yan breathed in a steady rhythm. Sweat had already soaked through his short-sleeved shirt, revealing the faint outlines of his abs.
"Whoo..." After letting out a long breath, Xia Yan relaxed and sat down on a plastic seat. He took out his phone to check whether there were any messages he needed to reply to.
"Hello, classmate. Did you come here to run by yourself too?" A slightly pungent fragrance wafted over on the breeze, making Xia Yan frown faintly.
"You're Xia Yan, right? The freshman representative who spoke onstage a few days ago?"
The girl wore black yoga pants, athletic shoes, and a sports bra, with her hair tied in a ponytail. Her looks were slightly above average, but there wasn't a trace of exercise on her.
Xia Yan replied politely, "I'm Xia Yan. May I ask what you need?"
As he answered, he tapped to convert a message someone had sent him into text. Combined with the several messages after it... it made him feel slightly surprised.
The girl glanced at Xia Yan's abs and handsome face. A look of confidence flashed through her eyes as she pretended to be surprised and said in a sugary, cutesy tone, "Ah... I just feel that we're really fated to meet. Do you like running too? We can arrange to run together every morning. How about you give me your WeChat..."
"Bro... Big bro..."
An exceptionally soft, cute, and pleasant voice came from Xia Yan's phone, interrupting the girl's approach.
Xia Yan shook his phone, his eyes full of amusement, and the corners of his lips involuntarily lifted. However, he still pretended to be apologetic as he said:
"Sorry, my girlfriend... sent me a message."
