Chapter 112

Confused and at a loss. Absolutely... isn't it? Xia Yan put his other hand into his pocket, where a small rectangular box was vying for space. He just wanted to ask the girl if she liked him. Xia Yan had been afraid ever since he left home that day. Was he good enough? Was his charm enough? Did his personality meet the girl's standards? Should he be composed or humorous? Should he dress more formally or casually? He tried on every piece of clothing in his closet. Xia Yan was as naive as a high school student, meticulously choosing clothes and styling his hair before going out with his crush on a weekend. Does liking someone really need to be said? He wasn't sure, but he didn't want to let go of the hand he had finally managed to hold. Hua Xin had given him the answer. She took his hand in hers. That was enough. 95. Hua: What should you do now? Xia: Get a room?? Mr. Krabs Noodle Shop. There were many people around, and glances frequently fell on the two of them; after all, a handsome man and a beautiful woman are always eye-catching in any setting. Since they had walked hand-in-hand in silence the whole way, they hadn't spoken a word, and the somewhat heavy atmosphere left them unsure where to begin. As for when they separated... well, it was probably when they were about to sit facing each other instead of on one side, when they simultaneously loosened their grip. Both of them simply placed their phones on the clean table, but neither spoke. "What's this guy doing..." "Didn't you say it's very impolite and rude to stare like that?!" The girl seemed a little reserved, obediently placing her hands on her lap, not even bothering to watch videos, simply turning her head away to avoid Xia Yan's gaze. Hua Xin felt as if Xia Yan's naked gaze was trying to see through her clothes... "Shrimp head shrimp head shrimp head shrimp head shrimp head..." She clenched her fists slightly, although she really wanted to punch him right then and there, but... his hands were so warm. He didn't know when, but her hands had stopped being so cold and were now warm. Whether before Niu Niu disappeared or now, his body always seemed cold, his hands and feet always icy. But this moment was a rare warmth. It was like one torch igniting another. Xia Yan rested his chin on his hand, his eyes filled with a tenderness that seemed to melt the girl before him. Though he didn't speak, his eyes conveyed his thoughts:... Any relationship not aimed at marriage is just playing around? His wife seemed to look good in anything, but what if she didn't wear anything?... slurp. She'd probably look even better. Xia Yan coughed lightly, dispelling his fantasies. The imagined scene shattered, his pupils once again filled with Hua Xin's delicate, fair profile: (Gentleman mode activated.) "Where does my wife live?" "Is it far from here?" He broke the silence, asking with some curiosity. What's the point of remaining silent like this? This is supposed to be the most anticipated meeting in person, so of course he needs to get to know the girl better, not just based on his online acquaintance. He only knows the real name of his Online Relationship girlfriend of four months! But to be fair, judging by figure alone, Liu Ruoyun and Lin Qingyu combined can't compare to his wife, right? Not to mention her adorable and beautiful face. Every part of Hua Xin seems to perfectly match his aesthetic. Catnip attracts cats, that's normal, right? For Xia Yan, Hua Xin is like an addictive, authentic Anhui beef noodle soup. (Asking me where I live?) (How could I possibly tell the truth! Do you want me to solo kill you offline like we did in League of Legends?!) Although the girl really didn't want to answer, as long as she didn't reveal her identity by mentioning her house number, it should be fine, right...? She wasn't that big-breasted and brainless. "Jiading District." "What a coincidence! I'm also in Jiading District! Honey, can you come to my house? I have a cat that can do somersaults!" "?" The girl was stunned. How come she didn't know Xia Yan kept cats? Did she include Chun Qiu in the calculations?! She's resorting to any means to trick me into coming home, isn't she?! A shrimp-headed man who controls his big head with his small head, and his lower body with his upper body?... Wait, small head controls big head... Why am I always in such a vulnerable position? I just reject and curse at him, something's not right... Wasn't I supposed to be flirting with Xia Yan?! Heh heh... Although Xia Yan always says he's never been in a relationship, the girl doesn't believe him at all... Rejecting outstanding beauties like Lin Qingyu and Liu Ruoyun is probably just because they're too obsessed! Sending flowers, inviting her to dinner, and saying sweet nothings, he's obviously done this to girls more than once, hasn't he? You're too skilled... Xia Yan. The girl sighed softly in her heart; her good brother's past deceptions in his romantic history made her a little sad. Meeting her only exposed his true nature again... Today I must make you... suffer! Hua Xin's tense expression, which had just been affected by Xia Yan's gaze, suddenly turned serious. She said calmly, "I bet a lot of girls have already been to your house, haven't they?" "Or do you often say that to girls? You seem quite adept at it." The girl's hand unconsciously kneaded her thigh slightly, maintaining a composed demeanor. "Absolutely not." "You're the first person I've ever wanted to bring home." Xia Yan's humor and gentleness vanished, his gaze as resolute as if he were taking a civil service exam. Hua Xin had never seen Xia Yan so serious... "Really?" the girl asked suspiciously. Could a man like Xia Yan have never had a girlfriend? "Really." Xia Yan looked at the girl earnestly. "I swear, from birth until now, I, Xia Yan, have never dated anyone other than Gu Xin Hua. If I break this vow, then... um..." Xia Yan smelled the pleasant fragrance emanating from the girl. It wasn't the scent of shower gel or shampoo, but a unique, delicate fragrance. "The fragrance of a virgin?" These words rose in Xia Yan's mind. He looked at the girl, who stood up and covered her mouth, with a smile in his eyes. "Stop talking!" For some reason, when Xia Yan tried to swear, Hua Xin involuntarily stood up and covered his mouth, preventing him from saying the rest of his words. "Swearing... is not good." The girl said softly, then, feeling the touch in her hand, she blushed slightly and sat back down, wiping her hand on her clothes with some disgust. "Why are you sticking your tongue out?!" Hua Xin crossed her legs under the table, as if interrogating Xia Yan, suppressing herself from punching him. "I didn't, wife..." Xia Yan blinked innocently. Hmm... very soft, delicious? "Your noodles are ready." The waiter placed the crab roe noodles in front of them. Hua Xin's eyes lit up as she looked at the colorful crab roe noodles, instinctively wanting to take off her mask. Her hand stopped in mid-air, then she lowered it to pick it up.
