I'm Going to Dig Out All Your Eyes????

They spent a pleasant Saturday playing ranked matches as "Invincible Cat Fist" and "Number One Son Online."

Unfortunately, Sunday was shot out of commission, so today was Monday??.

(On the Sunday they had arranged to meet, Hua Xin didn't get up and slept until six in the evening, only then seeing that Xia Yan had called more than twenty times and sent over fifty messages worrying that something had happened to her.)

Magic City Times Square.

All kinds of strange-looking people came and went, and there was no shortage of influencers holding cameras and phones, frantically posing for photos.

They clearly looked like they were at the very forefront of current trends.

Even so, Xia Yan was in no way inferior to those heavily made-up, beautified internet celebrities.

He wore casual light-blue jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt, with six images of Tom printed on it.

His well-fitting clothes outlined the muscles on his body perfectly, while the light, masculine cologne—not unpleasant in the slightest—gave people a favorable impression of someone serious and attentive.

But the most lethal thing...

Was still his incomparably handsome face and sunny, confident air.

Add in the camera he held in his hand...

He was simply the best of the best.

Xia Yan had long since attracted a crowd of beautiful women staring fixedly at him, the desire in their eyes almost hot enough to burn through his pants?? and turn them into a bird window.

And Hua Xin, who should have been hiding, was standing beside Xia Yan.

The two of them were in an area with relatively few people.

The girl was wearing her usual all-black pants, hoodie, and mask. Compared with those monsters and demons, she instead looked more normal.

Unlike her usual taciturn, flustered, and frightened self, amid this surging crowd, Hua Xin peered through her hair at the women staring at Xia Yan, her beautiful eyes as still as a dead pool of water.

The fair, slender fingers hidden inside her sleeves had already clenched into fists.

(What are you looking at?? Keep looking, why don't you keep looking...)

(Have you never seen a man before???.)

(Heh heh... heh heh...??.)

(Why didn't I bring a hammer today?? Why??...)

(You like wearing camisoles, you like wearing white stockings and black stockings, you like wearing short skirts, you like wearing shorts, and you like staring at my friend, huh? Girl with a darkened expression...)

(I'm going to dig out all your eyes, one by one...??)

"Handsome guy, want to add me on WeChat? I'm... free tonight."

A beautiful woman wearing a black camisole that exposed her navel and unbuttoned denim shorts had come up beside them at some point. The pale flesh revealed below her abdomen and the black fabric barely visible beneath it were enough to set one's imagination running...

As she spoke, a hint of smugness appeared on her delicately made-up face, and she pressed her arms together in front of her chest.

Turbulent waves??, turbulent waves??, turbulent waves??.

Judging by their elasticity and softness, they weren't Hextech, but the real deal.

But compared with Hua Xin, they were still a little lacking??.

If the seal were removed, the girl's abilities would absolutely be enough to achieve the "olo pose" achievement (seriously).

The busty woman flashed the friend QR code on her phone, looking aggressively at Xia Yan's face... Adam's apple... and the faintly visible collarbone...??.

It was really hard to resist thoroughly squeezing a man this excellent, wasn't it?

"Sorry, I already have a girlfriend."

Xia Yan blinked, wearing a formulaic sunny smile as he softly refused her.

"Ah... We can be friends, though. I never said we had to become lovers. Just doing... would be fine too."

The busty woman looked into Xia Yan's eyes, the implication in her tone unmistakable.

"I love my girlfriend very much. Please show some respect."

Xia Yan put away his smile and looked at her with a cold, serious expression.

But at the same time, the busty woman wasn't the only one who was shocked.

Hua Xin's eyes filled with the hurt of betrayal, and her gaze toward the busty woman grew even colder.

(Gir, gir gir gir... girlfriend?????)

(When did he get a girlfriend?)

(He actually had a girlfriend all along??...)

(Why did he hide it from me...)

(Were you pretending to treat me as a friend?)

"Okay, then..."

The busty woman regretfully lowered her phone and reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Huh?

Wait... Why was it so cold?

The busty woman looked around in confusion, searching for the source of the bone-chilling cold she felt.

??

When had there been a non-mainstream girl beside her prey?

The busty woman nervously swallowed, though she wasn't certain the girl was the reason.

She was afraid.

She forced out a smile, then turned and left.

"Phew..." Xia Yan let out a sigh of relief.

Maybe I should consider wearing a mask when I go out next time. I wonder if Hua Xin was scared.

"You... when did you get a girlfriend?"

The girl suddenly asked, her soft, boyish voice pleasant to hear.

Xia Yan froze, then laughed and replied, "That was just an excuse to deal with that woman."

Hua Xin's cold heart suddenly melted again.

(An, an excuse? Haha.)

(Of course it was an excuse... He must be the kind of person who doesn't date while he's in college, right?)

Then, as if he had thought of a certain cat, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he continued:

"I have very high standards for a girlfriend."

"I'll definitely tell you once I find one."

Xia Yan didn't want anyone to know that he was in an online relationship. Once his relationship with his "wife" grew deeper, they exchanged photos, and met in person, he could make it public then.

After all, there were far too few women of the opposite sex who could make him feel interested??.

It definitely wasn't because of the warden and those legs??...

Ever since he became a sunny, popular guy, he had been approached by all kinds of girls and had seen too many gazes that contained only admiration for his appearance and no romantic feelings.

An online relationship that didn't require appearance as a prerequisite was a rather novel experience.

(...)

(??????.)

Hua Xin's eyes instantly filled with mist, as if tiny pearls would fall the next moment.

She understood. She understood far too well.

Once a creature like a man had a girlfriend, he would throw himself wholeheartedly into his lover.

He wouldn't treat his friends with the same seriousness and honesty as before. He might even need to get his girlfriend's approval for everything. (After scrolling Douyin too much.)

Then the first friend she had finally managed to make would... would... just like that, be gone?? Ah...

"But the fact that we're good friends will never change."

Xia Yan looked at Hua Xin seriously as he spoke.

The girl froze. After hearing Xia Yan's words, she wanted to cry even more.

(That's more like it.??)

(I knew you weren't the kind of person who'd forget us the moment you got a woman.)

Oh, right!

The friend fee she had prepared for Xia Yan!

Hua Xin then set her backpack on the ground, unzipped it, and solemnly took out ten biscuits. She held them out to Xia Yan like precious treasures and said:

"Friend fee!"

Xia Yan froze, his smile from before disappearing.

It was the first time he had seen Hua Xin's hands.

They were sickly pale, thin, and frail.

Were these really the hands a boy should have? It was obvious she was malnourished. (Heartache.)

Xia Yan took the biscuits the girl offered, inadvertently brushing against her hand.

It was very cold, almost icy.

Xia Yan didn't look down on the cheap biscuits. Instead, he carefully put them into his pocket, even though they made it bulge awkwardly and looked quite unsightly.

"We'll always be friends."

"Xia Yan and Hua Xin."

"We'll always be good friends."

"I promise."

He said it softly.

The girl nodded happily.

"Mm!"
