Chapter 165

Things like that... He really couldn't accept it. He was genuinely terrified of these things! (Plan to embrace the girl failed.) Huh? ...Wait. Why is she so soft?... Could it be?... Xia Yan shakily raised his head and saw the girl, her face Red Temperature with shame and anger, staring at him with murderous intent. He immediately understood what he had just done. "You perverted bastard?...I'll definitely kill you...definitely!?" Uh...I think I accidentally bumped my head into the girl just now... "Smack!" Hua Xin punched Xia Yan in the chest, followed by a barrage of Ora Ora?? Ora?? Ora??...! like raindrops, then lowered her head and muttered curses while punching him. "I'll fucking kill you, you'll be going to jail!?" "I'm calling the police right now, I'm calling the police right now ahhhhhh! You perverted bastard!" Why didn't she hit his face? This was Xia Yan's last thought after being knocked unconscious by Hua Xin's meteor punch. The movie was both good and bad. Xia Yan briefly lost consciousness (from the sheer pleasure) after enduring a flurry of Pegasus Meteor Fists from the girl, then forced himself to continue watching with her, despite his fear. For Hua Xin, however, this first movie-watching experience, aside from a few minor hiccups, was absolutely perfect. Her wish had been fulfilled. She could die without regrets. The hour-long movie ended quickly, and time seemed incredibly cheap in the dimly lit theater. The occasional flashes of light made it easy to forget the passage of time. As the dazzling lights in the theater returned, the movie transitioned from the final humanoid transformation to its climax. Hua Xin's sparkling eyes gradually calmed. The joy of her first movie-watching experience faded along with the departing crowd. But she would remember this scene forever. She would never, ever forget everything that happened with Xia Yan. A flicker of sadness crossed Hua Xin's eyes, then vanished instantly. The two of them stood up and followed the other audience members out of the screening room. However, there was a slight difference. Xia Yan reached out and took the girl's small hand. Hua Xin only stiffened slightly before relaxing, not rejecting his intimacy. "Coward?" the girl murmured, a hint of feigned innocence in her voice. "?" Xia Yan's lips twitched. Although he wanted to argue, given his previous behavior... anything he said would sound like a sob. He replied helplessly in a low voice, "Yes, yes, yes... I'm a coward?" "Tch..." "You're clearly so scared yourself, yet you still think about bringing a girl to see this." "Tsk tsk, some people are really good at pretending to be strong." Although Hua Xin didn't name Xia Yan, her slightly confused and enlightened tone was enough to deliver a devastating blow to the man beside her. You know, bro. Sometimes the truth is most hurtful when spoken in the calmest of times or after the fact. It's like lying in bed after sex, smoking a cigarette, clearing your mind and contemplating life, when a woman's voice beside you casually says, "[You're done?]" His heart must have shattered instantly. "Yes, yes, yes... I'm sorry, Xin Hua- chan..." He rarely used 2D vocabulary in the real world. Xia Yan's eyes flickered slightly, a rare feeling of utter shame rising within him. His fear during the movie, his tendency to lean towards Gu Xin Hua, would likely be a lifelong disgrace, an indelible black mark on his image and strong sense of pride. But... in front of the girl, he didn't consider it shameful. Because only with her, only with her, could he be so unpretentious, without the mask of pretense he always wore. A rare moment of being himself. "?" "You're even trying to be cute now?" The girl suddenly turned and glared at Xia Yan, who pretended nothing had happened, her eyes showing a look of disdain, as if he were looking at trash. However... Xia Yan's handsome face, which could make women forgive any mistakes he'd made, was indeed very good-looking. Ha. Damn, this social butterfly? Hua Xin stopped, then turned and walked to her left as if Xia Yan were invisible. "Where are you going?..." Xia Yan subconsciously tried to stop her, as if afraid the scene of the girl running away halfway through their last date would repeat itself. "..." The girl probably knew what Xia Yan was thinking. A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and Hua Xin pointed to the sign above. "Women's Restroom." "Do I have to report to you when I go to the restroom? You jerk." Hua Xin snorted coldly, then casually tossed her handbag to Xia Yan. Xia Yan looked at the sign, then, completely unconcerned about his earlier embarrassment, gave the girl an unusually gentle smile and said, "I brought toilet paper and a toilet seat cover." "?" "You still say you're not a jerk?!" Get lost! The girl Red Temperature slightly upon hearing Xia Yan's words. What man carries tissues and a toilet paper when he goes out? If she didn't know Xia Yan Xia Yan her, she would have thought he was a womanizer, a scumbag who liked to toy with young girls' feelings. Hua Xin glared at the still-smiling Xia Yan before entering the restroom. Wait... After seeing her reflection in the mirror above the sink, the girl seemed to suddenly remember something, standing there in a daze. At home, she often admired her stunning beauty in the mirror (narcissistic). But seeing herself like this again outside still made Hua Xin feel something was amiss. Because in the girl's subconscious, she was still a man. But now she was standing in the women's restroom, a place only for girls... Hua Xin took a step back, her gaze meeting that of the black long straight hair, black-stockinged JK girl in the mirror. She took a step back. Her face flushed slightly as she turned around. Although there was no one at the doorway, Xia Yan's shadow was reflected in the light in the empty space. Xia Yan was still there. She was in the women's restroom. Hua Xin stopped herself, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and walked inside. Yes. She was a girl now. What if she went out now and walked into the men's restroom next door under Xia Yan's shocked gaze? Uh... The girl paused in her action of pulling down her safety shorts. That seemed a bit abstract. Well... a girl is a girl. It wasn't her first time in the women's restroom anyway... She remembered the first time was when she went to the freshman party with Xia Yan at school. Because she was on her period that day, although it later led to Lin Qingyu discovering her secret as a girl and using it to blackmail her into becoming a spy for Xia Yan. It seemed as if everything was preordained, which was why she was standing in front of Xia Yan today.
