Some people, upon opening that door, could say, "If I can never see you again, then I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night."
While others...
Are like cute, adorable girls borrowing their boyfriend's clothes??.

Hua Xin stood in old, worn-out sneakers so white they were almost bleached. Her black sweatpants and hoodie seemed to absorb the sun's essence and hold onto it, unwilling to let it go. A mask and her lowered bangs completely concealed her face.
The pant legs clearly showed signs of being altered, with loose threads dangling around her shoes. The hem of her oversized hoodie nearly reached her knees.
Anyone seeing her might think she was some new abstract fashion blogger, comparable to "Er Wa" (a nickname for a famously eccentric celebrity).
What's there to be afraid of... I've already experienced more terrifying things (shiver)...
The image of Niuniu flying away was still vivid in her mind.
Hua Xin silently looked at the steps, her hand on the railing. Making up her mind, she closed her eyes and extended her foot, intending to walk down.
"Click."
She felt her foot lighten.
Uh... her shoe fell off??.
With her backpack on, the girl dejectedly put on her shoes and walked down. The oversized heels made a clattering sound as they hit the steps.
Hua Xin's home was on the second floor, with no residents on the floors above or below.
This was also why she was still alive, despite often letting out roars and wails in the dead of night.
Her earlier dejection had been quite effective.
The girl walked forward, head bowed, relying on her senses as if resigned to her fate, making no sound.
Her eyes, hidden beneath her hair, were already clouded with a mist, as if she were about to burst into tears.
After Niuniu ran away, her height had shrunk by more than ten centimeters. When she put on her clothes this morning, she discovered that all her old clothes and shoes were too big and simply couldn't be worn anymore??.
Moreover, Hua Xin was too stingy to spend money on clothes... she even used strips of cloth and band-aids as a substitute for bras??.
The girl silently gave the sun the middle finger????.
Of course, it was hidden within her oversized sleeves.
"I've replied! Hurry up and conquer Earth, Master! Save me, Master! Humanity cannot live without you! When you arrive, I'll be the first to surrender??..."
Hua Xin walked towards the door in a daze, her mind wandering (completely out of it).
"Old man, I'm really not a delivery guy."
Xia Yan took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face and slightly curly, messy hair.
He looked helplessly at the old security guard holding a long whip.
The old man said, puffing out his beard and glaring, "I told you, kid, if you're delivering food, you have to use the side entrance. You can't use the main entrance!"
"Old man, I'm not wearing a delivery uniform. I'm waiting for someone."
"I told you, kid, if you're delivering food, you have to use the side entrance. You can't use the main entrance!"
"No... old man..."
"I told you, kid, if you're delivering food, you have to use the side entrance. You can't use the main entrance!"
"?"
"I told you, kid, if you're delivering food, you have to use the side entrance. You can't use the main entrance!"
Xia Yan's mouth twitched, and he silently took two steps back (?? scared).
Had he triggered an AI keyword?
Were there really imposters in this world?
Seeing that the young man in front of him was still stubborn, the old security guard flicked his long whip, hitting the ground with a crack.
"I told you, kid, if you're delivering food, you have to use the side entrance. You can't use the main entrance!"
With that, the old man skillfully swung the whip slowly, attempting to intimidate Xia Yan with his powerful technique.
Suddenly, he misjudged a crucial move, and Xia Yan heard a crisp sound of the whip hitting flesh.
It sounded quite familiar, like the sounds he often heard when watching A.I.M.O.??...
Uh... no.
Just as Xia Yan was about to help the old man, whose face was contorted in pain, he saw him stand at attention again, straighten his back, and shout at him:
"I told you, kid, if you're delivering food, you have to use the side entrance. You can't use the main... hiss (facial features twisted)... you go... eh, where did they go?"
Teleported??.
"You must be classmate Hua Xin?"
Xia Yan, with a gentle smile, stopped in front of Hua Xin, maintaining a certain distance.
He recognized her at a glance.
Looking at the girl before him, her clothes were strange and ill-fitting, very old, with no skin showing anywhere on her body, and her face couldn't be seen clearly.
But there was no sarcasm or disdain in his eyes; on the contrary, they were filled with a caring expression.
Hearing the voice, Hua Xin subconsciously took a step back, not daring to lift her head.
(Who, who, who, who, who is talking to me???)
(Where's my hammer???)
(I'll hammer you to death, I'll hammer you to death, I'll hammer you to death??...)
Back to reality.
Hua Xin hugged her schoolbag tightly, nodded slightly, but in her heart, she was calculating how to quickly take out her hammer and accurately hit the other person on the head for a solo kill.
"Well, let me introduce myself first. My name is Xia Yan, and I'm your class monitor. It's a shame we couldn't be roommates. I was afraid you'd get lost on the first day, so I came to pick you up directly."
Xia Yan said softly, slowing down his speech as much as possible, for fear of scaring the poor child in front of him.
"I'm a good person, you can trust me. If you're scared, you can also verify with Director Li first, but you have to be quick. Class starts in half an hour."
(Heh, bad guys always say they're good people.)
(Do you think I'm easy to fool?!)
(I'll slide tackle you, and then...)
Hua Xin nodded silently again.
A hint of a smile appeared in Xia Yan's eyes. See, the most difficult first step had already been taken.
He would help her.
This feeling was like helping his past self.
Then Xia Yan handed the girl a helmet, placing it very considerately in front of her schoolbag.
Don't be forceful, don't be impatient, but maintain a certain distance, letting her make her own choices.
This was what Xia Yan had concluded were the prerequisites for becoming good friends with Hua Xin.
(Are they going to kidnap me??)
(I have three-month-old preserved dumplings in the fridge?? I was waiting for National Day in a couple of days to eat them??)
Even though she was terrified in her heart, her body seemed to be out of her control as she accepted the helmet.
(She can't refuse people outside??)
Her sleeves, which had grown half an arm longer, were pulled down. She stood there holding the helmet, looking a bit lost (tears welling up).
Xia Yan smiled and gently picked up the helmet to put it on Hua Xin.
Then he reached out and placed his hand on her pulled-down sleeves, giving her a gentle pull to guide her along.
All of Xia Yan's movements were very gentle.
But the girl had no awareness of it; her brain at this moment was like egg whites being whisked in hot and sour soup, a complete mess.
The originally arrogant and sassy girl had turned into a pitiful little thing who could only nod in agreement.
(Save me, save me, save me????)
Hua Xin cried out for help inwardly, but her feet still moved forward involuntarily.
It wasn't until she was vaguely following Xia Yan onto the motorcycle that she belatedly realized what was happening.
Wait...
How did I get on the motorcycle??
Where's my bag? Where's my hammer??
"Hold on tight," Xia Yan reminded the girl softly.
Huh?
A strong push made Hua Xin subconsciously grab the clothes of the person in front of her through her sleeves.
(Crying loudly internally)
(Crying tears hidden in her hat)
The buzzing sound of the motorcycle and the wind made Hua Xin utterly confused.
The girl resigned herself, thinking, "Are they rushing to sell me?????"
"I do this every day, my kidneys aren't worth much??????"
