It was one o'clock in the afternoon.

Hua Xin and Xia Yan sat in the back row together as usual. The young girl was starting to get used to listening to lectures in the classroom, no longer as afraid as she was at first.

The teacher didn't ask her questions because of the conversation between the counselor and Xia Yan.

Her classmates didn't pay attention to her because she exuded an aura of poverty.

(Barbs √, pants with loose threads, an old all-black hoodie.)

(It's easy to get scared and think she's some murderer??...)

As for class.

She could happily get through it with just two games of Battle of Golden Spatula or by sleeping??.

Just one more, just one more and I'll get a Three-star Kaisa. Damn, damn, damn, damn??...

The young girl's eyes were determined, her face contorted as she repeatedly clicked the "refresh for two gold" button. Watching the units in the deck refresh, her emotions surged.

Her eyes, partially obscured by her bangs, watched her gold coins dwindle to zero. They seemed to glow with laser-like intensity, as if channeling Homelander, wanting to blow up the head of the dog-like developer who set the deck probabilities.

(God, God, please let me get this Kaisa!)

(Give it to meeeeeeeeee??!!!!)

Ding??.

As if hearing the young girl's heartfelt plea, something on someone's little brother seemed to respond. After she used her last chance, a golden Five-cost card appeared in her sight.

Little Brother????: Child, this is the second to last time I'll help you fulfill your wish.

God hadn't heard her plea.

But the telepathic Little Brother had.

(Wow!!!!)

(Just wait for death, wait for death, wait for death...)

The young girl breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the player in first place who had been peeking at her with excited arrogance. Her jiojio lifted out of her oversized shoes, and she stretched her legs out, resting them on the crossbar at the bottom of the desk.

Pure white, thin cotton socks easily encased the girl's delicate feet, making them look very small and cute??.

If Xia Yan had looked down at this moment, he probably would have immediately recognized whose feet these were, as he had set this picture as his QQ chat background.

Unfortunately, studying was a distraction...

Still looking, huh?

I'll crush you, don't run, if you're a man, don't run...

Hua Xin calmly and haughtily clicked on that last card, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curling up. The joy of a desperate comeback was... it was just too awesome!!

Bring it on! My proudest Three-star Five...

???

Why is there no reaction.

The young girl stared at the "Connecting to network 1/10" prompt on her phone, her finger frozen on the Da Mi phone screen, which felt as hot as a C4 bomb.

Tap again.

No response.

The... the internet is down?

Hua Xin broke into a sweat, frantically switching networks, her head immediately dropping as she stared intently at the screen like a fly??.

(What a joke...)

A few dozen seconds later.

When the network finally reconnected, Hua Xin saw her health bar drop to zero. The opponent's "lol" in the chat channel seemed to become an actual voice, shattering her last line of defense.

The young girl, her face flushed red, exited the game.

Then, she lowered her head, leaning against the wall, silently shedding tears (crying).

(I want a new phone, whaaaaaa.)

(I want the ??15promax1tb Cold Blue... I don't want to use this C4 that's comparable to a poopa5??)

"Are you done playing?"

"Want to play together next time?"

"We can play in two-player mode."

Xia Yan said softly, looking at the girl with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

Although he had been diligently listening to the lecture and taking notes, he also allocated some of his attention to observing Hua Xin's condition.

It seemed she was no longer as resistant to attending class as she was at the beginning.

The next step should be to help Hua Xin get used to socializing and make more friends. As for who to choose as friends...

It seemed like the only options left were the two lively characters in his dorm.

(You want to play games with me?)

(He's coming to ask me, isn't he?)

(It seems my skills have convinced him... I suppose I can reluctantly play a couple of games with him.)

Hua Xin thought this with a touch of傲娇 (pride/tsundere), then lifted its small head and nodded.

"Which server are you on?"

"QQ or WeChat?"

The girl, uncharacteristically, didn't remain silent, but replied in a voice that sounded a bit like a young boy's, "WeChat."

She wasn't very comfortable with others adding her on QQ.

On her entire QQ account, the only friend was that Shrimp Head Man.

"Okay."

Xia Yan smiled and nodded, picking up his phone to create an account right then and there.

"Classmates, class is dismissed. Thank you for your hard work, teacher..."

The dismissal bell rang at a very inopportune moment, causing both Xia Yan and Hua Xin to freeze.

Uh...

Damn it, I didn't calculate the timing for leaving in advance.

Xia Yan thought to himself that it was bad...

For him, normal dismissal might not be a big deal, but for Hua Xin beside him...

It was undoubtedly a grand ordeal.

"Class Monitor Xia Yan~"

"Huo Huo Huo~"

"Brother Yan~"

"I haven't been able to catch you after class lately, Class Monitor. Are you that busy??"

"Yeah, yeah, I also wanted to discuss the upcoming student council elections with you, Class Monitor."

"Your football friendly match against the Civil Engineering class three this morning was so cool. Those Civil Engineering guys who only know how to dig are so weak. That last-minute goal was awesome??"

As soon as class ended, the "orioles and swallows" in the classroom all flocked to Xia Yan's side.

Several girls who clearly adopted a pure underclassman style didn't hide their possessiveness over Xia Yan, their gazes towards him seemingly laced with sparks of lightning.

As the management department, which had the highest proportion of female students, Xia Yan's class had a vast majority of girls. The proportion of beautiful women was vastly different from that of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science.

And in this "Silkworm Cave" (a place filled with women), there was a man like Xia Yan—gentle, humorous, polite to everyone, never acting like a Shrimp Head, with a perfect physique and outstanding looks. Undoubtedly, he had become the target of the girls' pursuit from the very first day of the opening military training.

"No, if you want to ask me anything, you can just do it on WeChat. I'm friends with everyone."

"Football wasn't just my achievement; Xiang Guan and Mu Feng also passed the ball well."

Xia Yan unhurriedly put his books into his schoolbag.

"Yan, do you want to grab a coffee this afternoon?"

A Mature Sister with big, wavy red hair forcefully pushed aside the "pure underclassmen" and approached Xia Yan with an aggressive gaze.

Her way of addressing him was also more intimate than others.

The girls looked at her with some anger, but when their gazes fell upon her height and her chest, the strong sense of contrast made them lower their heads.

Powerless losers.

"Sorry, I have something else to do this afternoon, so I won't be able to make it, Tian Yue."

Xia Yan calmly refused the Mature Sister's temptation, not even shifting his gaze to her "thunderous" assets.

He tilted his head slightly, about to find an excuse to take Hua Xin away from here, but found that the other party had already left their seat at some unknown time.

This child...

"Sorry, I'm leaving first."

Xia Yan's heart tightened, and he quickly grabbed his schoolbag and stood up. Ignoring the disappointment in the eyes of the pure underclassmen and the fiery Mature Sister, he left the classroom directly.

Meanwhile.

Hua Xin was hiding in the men's restroom, trembling slightly.

As soon as those women started surrounding him, it had already "slipped away."

What do you mean, be my friend?

Once you have women, you forget all about me, right?

Men's words are all lies!

Heh, Brother Yan.

Heh, Huo Huo Huo.

Heh, so handsome (squeaky voice).

I... you...

The girl leaned against the wall, her heart growing cold, as she wiped away tears.

It was impossible not to be jealous of Xia Yan's popularity, but she was more saddened by being ignored.

As expected... she was still alone.

She glanced at the time on her phone. More than ten minutes had passed, so why were there still so many people outside? ...

I want to go home!

"Knock, knock, knock."

The sound of knocking at the door made Hua Xin's heart tighten.

Who? Who? Who? Who? Who?

She instantly lowered her head. There was only one pair of shoes, and she was the only one here. There was no "caught cheating" play happening! ...

"Hua Xin?"

The familiar voice made her freeze.

He... he came to find me??

Didn't he go find those bad women? ...

The girl opened the lock and indeed saw a somewhat anxious Xia Yan.

"How... how did you find me?"

Hua Xin asked, unusually awkward (tsundere).

"Because all the other classrooms were occupied, and only the restroom was empty."

"Let's go, I'll take you home?"

"What's more important, a girl or a bro (gentlemanly tone)?"

Xia Yan said, looking at the girl and smiling. His sincere gaze seemed to melt the ice in Hua Xin's heart and her long-closed inner self.

The girl didn't answer, just lowered her head and took his arm.

Then...

I'll trust you one more time.
