Chapter 213

"It can't just keep going like this, can it?" Hua Xin imagined the scene, then shuddered uncomfortably. You know, if they took the relationship a step further, wouldn't it become like those TS girls in manga who, after transforming, have nowhere else to turn but end up with their brothers, only to have those brothers turn on them and have the guts to do something wicked (see "After Transforming into a Dark-Skinned Hot Girl" for details)... Anyway, it doesn't seem like things are going well. But judging from her previous conversation with Lin Qingyu, this woman doesn't seem to have given up her hostility towards Liu Ruoyun and "herself." That means... after Xia Yan starts, she'll have to continue being Lin Qingyu's undercover agent, providing information about "herself" and Liu Ruoyun... What is all this about?! Touching the warm water flowing from the tap, the girl looked even more dejected. Originally, she thought that once school started, she could continue working at the cat cafe and maintaining her daily life with Xia Yan at school without being disturbed. Although playing two roles wouldn't be as easy as during the holidays, at least she could continue earning money while still getting by. But she forgot about Lin Qingyu. Hua Xin lowered her head, the water constantly wetting her hair. Because of the height of the faucet and the size of the sink, her long hair was painfully clogging the small sink, and she could only slowly wet her hair with Xiao Shui. After all, she didn't smell much in the morning, and taking a shower would be too wasteful of water. If only she hadn't gone into the women's restroom at the gym that day... The girl silently regretted as she poured Thirteen-in-One soap on her head and rubbed it. To be honest, Xia Yan's WeChat Moments... had actually become entirely her image. Everything that others could see, except for some of Xia Yan's daily sharing, was now all about her... uh, sorry, I misspoke, it was "Gu Xin Hua". Whether it was their first date, going to the movies together, or celebrating the New Year together, Xia Yan had taken photos of them together, some more intimate than others. (Including but not limited to photos of them holding hands and showing off matching bracelets.) Speaking of the New Year... Hua Xin swished her hair dry and ran it through her hair twice before grabbing a towel and covering her head, her eyes filled with shame and indignation at the sudden onslaught of "dead memories." Who would have thought Xia Yan could... uh, girls shouldn't swear. Who would have thought Xia Yan could drink so Qiang Shuang! He drank bottle after bottle, but never seemed drunk. Even when she was already half asleep, Xia Yan didn't seem drunk either... otherwise... otherwise... otherwise, she wouldn't have woken up to find herself face-to-face with Xia Yan in bed! But thankfully, nothing happened. It seems that drunken promiscuity is just an excuse for disgusting behavior. If you really drink too much, your head will spin like you're on a ten-minute roller coaster, and you'll feel really sleepy. How could you possibly get an erection then? Although she only had the chance to get drunk after losing him, judging from Xia Yan's state at the time... he should have been limp. Otherwise, why wouldn't he just turn into a pervert when facing such a stunningly beautiful girl like herself? Hehe... Hua Xin hummed a little tune as she walked into the bathroom and patiently dried her hair with a 12-yuan hairdryer she bought on Pinduoduo (a Chinese online shopping platform) with free shipping. Her back was still a little sore from straightening up. If you were to ask why she had the money to buy a hairdryer... well, she earned another 7,000 yuan in February!!! After the cat cafe across the street closed down, the work at the shop became noticeably more stable than before. Although she didn't understand why, things were getting better and better! In her happiness, Sister Li Xue gave her a 1,000 yuan raise. After Xia Fen left, she now only needed to work as a receptionist and introducer, occasionally filling in as a waitress, and spending most of her time slacking off reading the novel "I'm No Longer Happy, Give Me Back That!" Occasionally, she could even do a little live stream at home to earn some money... hehe... The ample money in her bank account gave the girl unparalleled confidence. "Ah! My back!" Suddenly straightening up without any buffer caused a jolt of pain. Washing her hair, except when showering, required bending over for a long time, which was why she hated washing her hair in the morning. "Short hair is so much better..." the girl exclaimed sincerely. But it would be a shame to cut such long hair short. Maybe she should go to the hair salon another day for a more suitable hairstyle? Otherwise, it was a bit uncomfortable to have her hair tucked into a hat like this. Wait, tucked into a hat? Hua Xin paused in her hand, holding the hairdryer. Wasn't she supposed to be going to school today as "Hua Xin"? So she didn't need to show her face or worry about her image anymore? She remained silent for a moment. She silently glanced down at her bulging chest, then her eyes revealed a look of utter disbelief, and she remained silent. "Happy, Brother Yan?" "So-so, so-so." "Joyful, Brother Yan?" "So-so, so-so." "Find a boyfriend, Brother Yan?" "So-so, so-so." "Graduated your virginity, Brother Yan?" "So-so, one..." "?" Xia Yan, who was casually tidying his desk in the dorm while replying to Mu Feng and Xiang Guan's teasing, suddenly froze. But this brief pause didn't stop him from continuing his barrage of attacks on these two single guys. "Abstaining from premarital sex is a responsibility to both parties. You guys, who haven't even slept with a girl, of course wouldn't understand this sacred idea." Xia Yan's seemingly nonchalant words caused Mu Feng and Xiang Guan, who had been holding back their laughter and waiting to see Xia Yan break down, to suddenly wilte like eggplants hit by frost. Mu Feng, needless to say, is a die-hard 2D who plays Genshin Impact. His only contact with girls, besides the cafeteria ladies, is probably his own mother. Oh, and there's the fact that he unknowingly helped his good friend "Brother Hua" infiltrate Xia Yan's inner circle, but that can be ruled out. As for Xiang Guan ... I think for a 180+ cm tall fitness enthusiast and a super-efficient protein-consuming rice cereal Xiang Guan like Xiao Ling was enough to make him regret it for life. But apart from Xiao Ling, he's actually never been in a relationship... Looking at his two silent roommates, Xia Yan couldn't help but smile helplessly. "You two should just endure another semester." "Those upperclassmen have too many tricks up their sleeves, you can't compete." "There will be a freshman girl this summer~" "Freshman~" Xia Yan emphasized those two words, and sure enough, Mu Feng and Xia Yan's eyes lit up instantly. Even though they're otaku, who doesn't want a girlfriend? Even though they're fitness enthusiasts, who doesn't want a girlfriend? "Brother Yan, help me!" x2 "Alright, alright, it'll still depend on you guys. I can only give you information at most." "As for WeChat..." Xia Yan deliberately paused, a hint of boasting easily detectable in his tone. "I have a girlfriend now, so it's not convenient."...
