Chapter 200

"You shameless, perverted bastard who tricked me into coming to your house today so you could carry out your evil schemes..." Thud. That was the sound of Hua Xin's heart breaking. She'd misjudged him. She'd misjudged Xia Yan. The girl took two steps back, then silently picked up the utility knife Xia Yan had placed on the table, her eyes filled with a resolute determination to die a heroic death. But when she looked at the gleaming blade, she suddenly snapped out of her reverie. Wait a minute? Why was she acting like she was about to die? This wasn't some erotic novel plot; unless Xia Yan was completely out of his mind, how could he do something like this? Besides, the Xia Yan the girl knew wasn't the kind of person who would do such a thing. Hua Xin suddenly realized something was wrong, as if she'd suddenly understood something. She put the utility knife back down, and with a calm expression, crossed her arms and sat on Xia Yan's bed. Soft, comfortable. That was the girl's first impression. It was a completely different product from the mattress in her own bedroom, which was as hard as the floor. Leaning back as if in a daze, Hua Xin curled up on the pillow, finding a comfortable angle. The down jacket and sheets made a soft rustling sound. Then, she simply stared calmly at the now unfamiliar ceiling. Why was she making such a fuss? That was Xia Yan ... the man who would even lock her in a room if he thought there might be a thief or robber outside, and would only do that to protect her. Xia Yan wouldn't dare do something like that even if he had a hundred lives. Maybe he was just playing a prank on her? Or maybe the wind blew the door shut? Oh well, whatever she imagined couldn't possibly happen, right?... Besides, they were best buddies. Even if Xia Yan really couldn't take it anymore and rewarded him, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, Hua Xin had seen plenty of stories online like "Bro, you smell so good" and "After the change, I'll definitely make you happy." They were buddies. Helping out once in a while wouldn't be a big deal. After all, Hua Xin's only good friend, and indulging him a little wouldn't hurt. "Xin Hua?" "Listen to me." "Heh heh, your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?" "Just wait and see if I don't punch you again, you pervert." The girl waved her hand lazily, seemingly without any wariness towards Xia Yan outside the door, her tone returning to her usual sharp and threatening manner from the internet. It was his feigning illness that made Hua Xin a little angry. Xia Yan leaned against the door, pondering for a moment before a sly glint flashed in his eyes. He had sensed the girl's shift from tension to her current relaxed and fearless demeanor. Initially, he hadn't rushed to explain, knowing that whatever a girl said when she was angry was wrong. Besides... his behavior was clearly the one in the wrong; any explanation would likely only result in a scolding from the girl, right? "You drank some water just now, didn't you?" "The one in the kettle in the kitchen." "?" Xia Yan's muffled voice came from outside the door, startling Hua Xin, who was resting with her eyes closed. Her gaze involuntarily fell on the water glass on the table. She seemed to have... taken a small sip when testing the water temperature earlier, right? Could it be that Xia Yan really put something strange in it...? "Gulp." The girl swallowed nervously, the light and bright look in her eyes instantly vanishing. I'll never laugh again. jpg. "What have you done..." "I didn't add anything strange..." Hua Xin sat up, her voice trembling as she pointed to the doorway. "Just what you think." Xia Yan sighed softly, his hand touching his face, his words carrying a sense of relief and relaxation, as if those words had lifted a heavy burden from his shoulders. "?" He really added something?? A big question mark appeared on Hua Xin's head. She hurriedly touched her face with both hands, only to find that the temperature in her small hands wasn't the previous icy coldness, but a warm feeling. She blushed??? She must be angry, that's right, she must be angry. How could Xia Yan put something like that in? Haha, he must be lying to her. "Your joke isn't funny at all. Open the door right now, I want to go home..." The girl tried her best to calm herself down, but her increasingly hot body felt like a flame was about to burst out of her body, making it hard for her to think in that direction... Could it be that Xia Yan was waiting for the effects of her drug to kick in? Whether it was the chance encounter, the feigned stomach ailment to get her to take him home, or even putting the aphrodisiac in the kettle and coming to his room to help find stomach medicine, was it all part of Xia Yan's scheme? Hua Xin instantly jumped off the bed, clutching her down jacket tightly, a light sheen of sweat visible on her nose, her face flushed pink. This is terrifying... This man is just too terrifying! The city Tai Shen dangerous, I want to go back to the countryside... The balcony... Right, hide inside the balcony! Hua Xin, who had just been thinking that she didn't care about giving her "good brother" a Hua Xin, instantly forgot her previous thoughts. Her heart was beating faster and faster, and her wildly imagining mind made her feel as if she could already see her 40g defeat CG. The girl cried inwardly, her legs trembling as she leaned against the wall towards the balcony. But at the same time, Xia Yan's slightly amused voice rang out again. "Just kidding." "I actually wanted to calm you down." Xia Yan suddenly realized that his earlier joke, made out of a slightly mischievous urge to tease the girl, wasn't helping him at all. Although they usually joked online, it was still separated by the internet and a phone screen, quite different from meeting in person. Online, they could say anything, but in reality, they both appeared surprisingly pure and aloof. "Actually, I'm so happy you agreed to spend the New Year with me..." "I also noticed that Xin Hua, you don't seem so determined? Otherwise, you wouldn't have pretended to be sick just now..." "But what I want to say is, you don't need to be afraid of anything when you're with me." Xia Yan's words made Hua Xin, who was nervously unable to open the balcony door, pause. She turned around, looking at the door with some suspicion. Just kidding? Then why was she so hot, as if she had really taken some kind of medicine! Hua Xin said through gritted teeth, "Don't be afraid. What do you mean you can do 'one-stop service' on me?" "I've already called the police. Get ready for jail time..." "I've always been alone, so I don't want you to be alone too." With a "click," the door lock opened easily, revealing Xia Yan, who had taken off his down jacket, revealing only a thin shirt underneath... a thin shirt? He'd taken his clothes off? But he did look quite handsome... especially considering his current state, now under the influence of the drug. Honestly, if the current situation were disregarded, Hua Xin would definitely be very moved. After all, words like "I've always been alone, so I don't want you to be alone too" are... well, for a girl, a boy... well, maybe not. In short, the impact on Hua Xin was comparable to a full-course banquet! But...
