The enjoyable Saturday was spent in ranked matches with "Invincible Cat Fist" and "Number One Son Online".

Unfortunately, Sunday was a bust, so today is Monday??.

(Hua Xin, who was supposed to meet up, didn't wake up. She slept until 6 PM and only then saw that Xia Yan had called over twenty times and sent more than fifty messages worrying if something had happened to her.)

Magic City Times Square.

All sorts of strangely dressed people came and went, with many surrounding them holding cameras and phones, madly taking photos of those posing.

It was clearly a scene at the forefront of contemporary trends.

But even so, Xia Yan didn't lose out to those heavily made-up internet celebrities.

He was wearing casual, light blue jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt, which had six Tom patterns printed on it.

The well-fitting clothes nicely outlined his muscular physique, and the subtle, not unpleasant men's cologne gave off a good impression of someone serious and attentive.

The most fatal thing...

was his incredibly handsome and dashing appearance, along with his sunny and confident demeanor.

Plus the camera he was holding...

He was the epitome of perfection.

Xia Yan had already attracted the intense stares of a crowd of beautiful women, the desire in their eyes practically burning through his pants and turning them into bird cages.

And Hua Xin, who was supposed to be hiding, was now standing beside Xia Yan.

They were in a less crowded area.

The girl was wearing her usual all-black pants and a hooded mask. Compared to the freaks and monsters around, she seemed more normal.

Unlike her usual quiet, flustered, and scared demeanor, in this crowded scene, Hua Xin looked through her hair, her beautiful eyes like a stagnant pond, watching the women staring at Xia Yan.

Her fair, slender fingers hidden in her sleeves had already clenched into fists.

(What are you looking at? Keep looking, keep looking... )

(Haven't you ever seen a man before? Hmph.)

(Heh... Heh... Hmph.)

(Why didn't I bring my hammer today... )

(Likes wearing tank tops, likes wearing white and black stockings, likes wearing short skirts, likes wearing shorts, likes staring at my friend, right? [The girl's face darkened])

(I'm going to take all your eyes, one by one... Hmph)

"Handsome, can I add your WeChat? I'm... free tonight."

A beautiful woman wearing a black tank top that exposed her navel and denim shorts with the button undone arrived beside them at some point. The fair skin revealed below her stomach and the hint of black fabric was enough to spark imagination...

As she spoke, a hint of smugness appeared on her face, which was adorned with exquisite makeup. She clasped her arms to her chest.

Busty, busty, busty.

Judging by the elasticity and softness, it wasn't Hextech, but genuine prowess.

However, compared to Hua Xin, she was still a bit lacking.

If she unleashed her full power, the girl's abilities would definitely be enough to achieve the "Olo" pose achievement (seriously).

The voluptuous woman flashed her phone with a QR code for adding friends, looking aggressively at Xia Yan's face... his Adam's apple... and his subtly visible collarbone... Hmph.

Such an excellent man, it's really hard to resist thoroughly draining him, right?

"Sorry, I already have a girlfriend," Xia Yan blinked, a formulaic sunny smile on his face, and then gently refused.

"Ah... Can we be friends? I didn't say we have to be lovers, but we could... (bang)... too."

The voluptuous woman looked into Xia Yan's eyes, her tone full of suggestive innuendo, its meaning self-evident.

"I love my girlfriend very much, please have some self-respect."

Xia Yan's smile vanished, and he looked at her with a cold, serious expression.

But at the same time, it wasn't just the voluptuous woman who was shocked.

Hua Xin's eyes were filled with the sadness of being deceived, and her gaze towards the voluptuous woman became even colder.

(G-g-g-girlfriend??? Hmph)

(When did he get a girlfriend?)

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

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

(Was treating me as a friend a lie?)

"Alright then..."

The voluptuous woman regretfully put down her phone, her gaze lingering as she withdrew it.

Huh?

Wait... why is it so cold...

Hua Xin, confused, searched for the source of the chilling cold she felt.

??

When did her prey have a non-mainstream person by their side?

Hua Xin swallowed nervously, though she wasn't sure if it was because of the girl.

Fear.

She forced a smile and then turned to leave.

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

Next time I should consider wearing a mask when I go out. I wonder if Hua Xin will be scared.

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

The girl asked abruptly, her soft, childlike voice pleasant to hear.

Xia Yan was taken aback, then replied with a wry smile, "That was just an excuse to deal with that woman."

Hua Xin's cold heart suddenly melted again.

(An excuse, an excuse, haha.)

(Of course it's an excuse... He must be the type of person who doesn't date during college, right?)

Then, as if thinking of a certain cat, he continued with a slight upturn of his lips:

"My standards for a girlfriend are very high."

"When I find one, I'll definitely tell you."

Xia Yan didn't want anyone to know he was in an online relationship. It wouldn't be too late to announce it once his relationship with his "wife" deepened, they'd exchanged photos, and met in person.

After all, there were so few people of the opposite sex who piqued his interest??.

It's not because of the jailer and her legs??...

Ever since he became a popular and outgoing person, he'd been approached by all sorts of girls, and he'd seen too many gazes that held only fleeting interest, not true affection.

In online relationships, where looks weren't a prerequisite, it was indeed a novel experience.

(...)

(??????.)

The girl's eyes immediately welled up with mist, as if she were about to shed precious pearls at any moment.

She understood, she understood perfectly.

Men, once they had a girlfriend, would dedicate themselves entirely to their lovers.

They wouldn't be as sincere and honest with their friends as before, and would even need their girlfriend's permission for everything. (Scrolling Douyin??.)

And so, her first friend, whom she had finally made, was... was... gone just like that??...

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

Xia Yan said, looking at Hua Xin seriously.

The girl was taken aback, and hearing Xia Yan's words made her want to shed more pearls.

(That's more like it.??)

(I knew you weren't the type to forget about us just because you have a girlfriend.)

Right!

The friend fee for Xia Yan!

Then Hua Xin placed her backpack on the ground, unzipped it, and as if performing a sacred ritual, took out ten cookies. She presented them to Xia Yan like a treasure, saying:

"Friend fee!"

Xia Yan was stunned and his smile faded.

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

Pathologically white, slender, delicate.

Were these the hands of a boy? It was clear malnutrition. (Heartache)

Xia Yan took the cookies the girl offered, and his hand brushed against hers.

They were very cold, very cool.

Xia Yan didn't look down on the cheap cookies; instead, he cherished them and put them in his pocket, even though they made it bulge awkwardly and look unsightly.

"We will always be friends."

"Xia Yan and Hua Xin."

"Always good friends."

"I promise."

He said so softly.

The girl nodded happily.

"Mhm!"
