Chapter 186

The girl's lips twitched slightly in exasperation. Happiness → Unhappiness. If this were about paying for views, she figured Brother Shan Qing and Sister Li Xue would have to sell their house. A few hundred or a few thousand yuan was nothing compared to the sheer volume of viral videos. So the truth became clear at that moment. The girl slowly exhaled a breath of stale air; the faint chill materialized into a solid gas at zero degrees Celsius, though she didn't want to admit it. "Sister Xin Hua?!?" A familiar figure appeared in her line of sight. Xia Fen, always so energetic, was waving her hand at her, as if afraid she wouldn't see her. Hua Xin also pulled her hand from her pocket and waved back, but her gaze was momentarily sharp and cautious, not landing on Xia Fen, as if she were searching for something. Even her steps slowed. Seeing that there was no one else around Xia Fen, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Xia Yan hadn't followed. If Xia Yan saw her carrying the Chun Qiu in his cat carrier, it would be like Qin Shi Huang encountering Jing Ke in the outhouse—a death sentence indeed! She should have been more careful. Could it be that she'd been too overworked lately and her brain was malfunctioning? The girl seemed somewhat annoyed. It seemed she couldn't be so careless in the future; if something unexpected happened, her life would be truly ruined. The familiar routine: onto the subway. On the subway. Off the subway. As for Xia Fen's excited chatter along the way, Hua Xin, trembling with fear of her identity being exposed, only half-heartedly answered her questions. Until... Hua Xin and Xia Fen witnessed Ike's ultimate move. The once bustling "Hachimi Cat Cafe" now only had a few scattered people waiting for it to open, but even these few weren't quiet; they were also very curious about the excitement across the street. The once deserted entrance to the Sacred Fire Meow Cult had already swelled with a crowd of onlookers. Shan Qing and Li Xue, who had arrived earlier, were clearly startled and were opening the door to lead the customers inside. Uh, they usually arrive around the same time, right? Xia Fen was clearly more excited, grabbing the girl's arm, but her usually chattering mouth couldn't find the words, only stammering as she pointed towards the cat café. "I... you... uh,!!!!" Similarly, the shame and embarrassment that had been building up in Hua Xin's heart vanished the moment the shop's crisis was averted. Hadn't they worked so hard for this moment? Compared to that, Gu Xin Hua's antics were insignificant. Although she didn't want to admit it... it was indeed their talent that made them famous. The girl, in a good mood, pulled Xia Fen forward, her eyes unusually filled with fighting spirit. Let's put the shame aside for now. At least... we'll get paid, we won't go hungry anymore! Is the number after 146.9 10 or 0? 6k1. I like Xia Yan. I don't know when this thought started, but it has permeated my entire heart. Perhaps it was when school started, among a group of unremarkable and unremarkable commoners, he was the first one who dared to come up to me and say, "If you are ostracized or bullied, be sure to tell me, I will help you." "If you don't have any friends, then from now on we are friends." But at the time, I almost laughed out loud. What does that mean? Someone is bullying me? Someone is ostracizing me? If my parents hadn't insisted that I attend this meaningless elite school, how could I possibly be with you commoners? Yes, although the school is an elite school, obviously I am the only elite, everyone else is a commoner. My family is very rich. Rich to the point that most people can't even imagine. Just casually throwing out a bank card is enough to make you unsophisticated petty-bourgeois families chase after me like dogs, begging me to give you some scraps of bone. Interesting, very interesting. Whether abroad or in China, this person Xia Yan is the first person who dared to speak to me like this. Could it be that he, like these commoners, doesn't know my identity? Ah, perhaps I shouldn't call him a commoner anymore; how about elevating his status slightly to "an interesting commoner"? 2. Today I observed Xia Yan closely and found him to be quite handsome. He has a certain look reminiscent of the people I saw in Northern Europe, but also possesses a blend of Chinese and Western features... well, in short, he's undeniably handsome. Could he be mixed-race? Looks like I need to have someone investigate him thoroughly. After all, he's the first commoner I've paid so much attention to... no, an "interesting commoner." Hmm, the details regarding address and status must be accurate; this is essential. 3. Today was quite interesting. It seems someone doesn't like Xia Yan, appearing somewhat jealous or dissatisfied with his attention-grabbing behavior? But I think this person is more likely jealous of Xia Yan's face, right? Many girls in the class like Xia Yan —I think anyone with even a little bit of observation skills could tell. Although it's only been a month since school started, it's undeniable that Xia Yan's personality and looks are exactly the type of girl these young girls, just beginning to experience romantic feelings, like. Gentle and handsome. Few girls could resist these two words combined, except perhaps for her, who's long past the age of being a little girl. I don't know the boy's name, but his watermelon-head hairstyle is quite distinctive, somewhat like the ubiquitous hairstyle in a neighboring country. The teacher asked Xia Yan to change seats, but that boy thought there was something wrong with Xia Yan's move? Oh~ so Xia Yan moved herself to sit in front of me, and that watermelon-head boy is jealous that Xia Yan is using her position to get closer to me? Ugh, this is so frustrating. Faced with two commoners who have designs on me, all I can do is stand by and watch. But if I had to choose one... I'd probably choose the "interesting commoner" more. After all, Xia Yan's goal is to "help" me. 4. The "Xia Yan" I've investigated and the "Xia Yan" I see now are practically two different people. It turns out he wasn't mixed race at all. His parents were divorced, and ironically, they only separated completely after they had both formed new families, which made Xia Yan the most superfluous person. I'm becoming increasingly curious about you. What kind of determination did you have to go from being a bullied nobody to this "interesting commoner" shining in front of these ordinary people? What exactly caused such a dramatic change in you? I'll keep watching you. But at the same time, I think I should take back the word "funny" I just used. This isn't funny. 5. Two months have passed. Do you really think I can't do such simple math problems, or are you just pretending? I finished learning all this high school material two or three years ago. If they hadn't forced me to pretend to be like an ordinary commoner, I would be pursuing a master's degree at that university by now. Ha, Ming.
