Chapter 119

A chorus of voices rang out, but most were filtered out by the excited girl. Hua Xin's eyes were only on the figurines that occupied a large space in their protective cases. After scanning the area, she didn't find any of the Vivi characters. After all, they couldn't compare to the more popular ones... So... the girl's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she pointed to a figurine with hair longer than its body, saying in a low voice, "I want Hatsune Miku!?" "You don't mind, do you?" Hua Xin turned to look at Xia Yan, her eyes unfriendly and slightly warning. That possessive yet somewhat threatening look almost made Xia Yan want to buy all the figurines for her. "I don't mind," Xia Yan immediately said with a light laugh, "What you want is what I want." "Tch... don't regret it." Then the girl turned to the shop assistant with hopeful eyes. "Okay, beautiful lady... of course, but could you please take a picture with the figurines together afterwards?" The shop assistant was already reciting the script numbly, after all, it was an order from the shop manager. "No problem!!" In a state of extreme excitement, Hua Xin didn't object to the suggestion. After all, they'd already won the grand prize! It was like winning the lottery or catching a big fish and then taking a photo with the organizers—perfectly normal, right? (A figure...a figure...) As a 2D, how could she not want a figure of her own?! Due to financial constraints, she couldn't afford to waste money like that, but this was free...she'd won the Grand Prize figure for free! Why wasn't she this lucky when drawing for the Battle Night skin before?... Uh, so it was Xia Yan who drew the prize? Hua Xin paused for a moment, then joyfully took the box containing the figure from the shop assistant...her hand froze. Uh, it was a bit heavy. "Bang." Xia Yan caught the box in time and took it from the girl. Hua Xin breathed a sigh of relief, then stood next to Xia Yan with a bright smile. So happy. With Xia Yan. They'd eaten, and the plan was complete. So happy. Xia Yan won the Grand Prize; the Hatsune figure would be hers. He bought himself Violet's millet and a poster. He treated her to crab roe noodles and milk tea. And that beautiful bouquet of flowers. The girl suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave this scene. If today were over, things would be back to normal. Why did she like this feeling? "... Hmm??" Hua Xin hesitated slightly, then dodged Xia Yan's attempt to hold her hand. They had already done everything couples should do today... Besides kissing and showing affection, they had already hugged, held hands, and made their relationship official. She absolutely could not do anything intimate with Xia Yan again. After all, the plan was not to make Xia Yan truly like her. They were destined not to be together; it was all Hua Xin's lies. Whether it was the Invincible Cat Fist or Gu Xin Hua, it was all just something she used to deceive herself... "!" A large, warm hand still held her small hand. After a slight struggle, the girl did not try to break free. Oh well... She glanced at Xia Yan, who was pretending to be nonchalant and smiling. Where was his usual gentle and proper demeanor... Let him be this way... After all, he gave her the figurine too. Xia Yan mischievously drew circles on the back of her hand with his finger, the ticklish sensation making the girl scratch his hand hard. Shrimp head?! The girl turned her head away from him, tugging at her skirt. "Then please stand still and smile." Looking at the pleasing sight of such a handsome man and beautiful woman standing together, the shop assistant had no mood for appreciation, silently crying in her heart. Tonic... tonic fire her! After a "click," the shop assistant put away her phone, and then announced to the private and semi-private groups gathered together to watch the gossip, "The Grand Prize has been drawn by two lucky handsome men and beautiful women, and there are still several second and third prizes left. Everyone can participate in the lottery by making any purchase..." While the shop assistant was promoting the prize with tears in her eyes, Xia Yan and Hua Xin had already slipped away. "Ms. Gu Xin Hua, what are your thoughts on today's Grand Prize figurine?" Xia Yan asked softly, holding the box, his eyes sparkling with a broad smile. "I need to... go to the restroom," the girl said hesitantly. She'd drunk a large glass of water for breakfast, had a beverage with her crab roe noodles, and just now, milk tea... After the initial excitement of winning the Grand Prize, she felt the same urge to use the restroom as in the first chapter. She couldn't hold it in any longer! Xia Yan instantly understood and pointed in a direction not far away. "I'm waiting for you here, honey~" he said gently with a smile, actually suppressing the urge to follow her. "Watch my bag!" the girl said hastily, tossing her purse to Xia Yan before striding off towards the restroom. Watching the girl gradually turn the corner, Xia Yan's smile faded. He leaned back on the stool, somewhat helplessly, and called out to those behind him, "If you don't come out soon, I'll send you a lawyer's letter." "How can someone so young become a stalker..." "Tch... My aloof older brother found out." —————— "That felt good..." Hua Xin suddenly felt listless, pulled up her safety shorts, threw the tissue into the trash can, smoothed out the wrinkles in her skirt, and then flushed the bathroom before opening the door. "Much better...?" The girl easily washed her hands while tidying her hair and appearance. The beautiful girl in the mirror was still as pretty as when she came out that morning. After brushing the bangs that were covering her eyes to one side, Hua Xin looked at her hair, which seemed a bit messy and too long, and murmured softly, "Should I get a haircut...?" Four months had passed since losing Niu Niu. Besides having long hair from the beginning, it had continued to grow longer over time. Uh, her breasts seem to have gotten bigger too?? She silently measured her chest, but due to the bra and clothing, it wasn't immediately apparent. Almost half a year has passed without her noticing... Hua Xin dried her damp hands with a hand dryer, lost in thought. Picking up her phone, she checked the time: 3:21. The morning and afternoon were almost over. She'd spent all that time with Xia Yan. She'd treat him to dinner tonight, and the day would end pleasantly, right? Gu Xin Hua's identity was now over, limited to continuing to "observe" Xia Yan online... After all, disappearing without a word was more hurtful than "dumping" Xia Yan later, wasn't it? She'd tried her best. The girl thought helplessly, then slowly walked out. Should she stream after getting back today? Play League of Legends or continue playing Black Monkey ...? Changing games seemed like a good idea, right? Find a free avatar to be a VIP? She felt she had a talent for it... Making a fortune with just her voice seemed pretty good... Positive energy!!??? She couldn't be corrupted! Lost in thought, she walked out of the corner, and when she looked up, she was slightly startled.
