Chapter 337

"Title. "Xiang Guan said firmly, "Fitness meal." "Pure Red Stone." Mu Feng nimbly stepped out of the elevator, avoiding a big fight with someone. But when he entered the classroom, he stopped at the back door. "I'll really show you what black is..." Xiang Guan, who was about to attack Mu Feng, also stopped, looking at Mu Feng, who had turned into a stone statue, with some doubt and asked, "What are you doing? Did you see Ultraman fighting a monster?" Mu Feng was silent for a moment, then moved aside, leaving a gap for Xiang Guan to walk in, and pointed with great emotion and disbelief at the man and woman in front who were attracting everyone's attention. "More terrifying than Ultraman fighting a monster." Xiang Guan scoffed with disdain, then walked straight in. But when he saw it, he was silent like Mu Feng, and after a long time, he sadly looked away and uttered two words with difficulty. "Indeed." 260. Returning to the campus as lovers Today is a good day. The sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was much warmer. Compared to the bleak cold of winter, a warm, sunny spring day was a rare treat. Actually, this kind of weather would be perfect for hot pot, especially authentic Chongqing-style spicy beef tallow hot pot with a really spicy broth. Whether you're cooking meat or vegetables, it will be incredibly delicious. She happened to see a hot pot restaurant that wasn't open yet. Even though she had a full breakfast, Hua Xin still felt a strong craving for hot pot after the last time she ate it. After all, her greatest hobby is eating delicious food. Now that she had the confidence to eat whatever she wanted, Hua Xin reached out and poked Xia Yan's arm, looking at him with bright eyes and softly asking, "How about we go grocery shopping later?" "How about hot pot for dinner?!" Xia Yan thought for a moment. He'd almost run out of ingredients in the fridge. He'd only been at school for a short while, getting his textbooks and attending a lecture, and then... he seemed to remember something, but after a pause, he chuckled without hesitation and replied, "Okay, whatever my wife wants to eat." Hua Xin rolled her eyes at Xia Yan, her hands tucked into her coat pockets. This feeling of him suddenly becoming a pushover was really unsettling. She figured she should eat all the meat first, leaving him nothing. At the dinner table, someone who wasn't strong enough deserved only vegetables, and a man who wasn't strong enough didn't deserve to be her man! "But..." Xia Yan's voice rang out again, making Hua Xin turn her head slightly to look at him. "I need to go back to the dorm first to get some things I didn't take, then I won't have to stay in the dorm anymore." "Oh, then I'll come with you." "I can also help you carry some things." "Okay~" "But this time you'll have to wait downstairs at the dorm, right? Miss Hua Xin." Xia Yan emphasized the last four words, as if reminding the girl beside him of something. "..." "Shrimp-headed guy." Hua Xin pouted, leaving only a weak and powerless retort. She knew what Xia Yan meant, but every time she saw Xia Yan's smiling expression, she felt extremely uncomfortable. It felt like their conversation, which was originally between two friends and good brothers, had suddenly been emphasized as the atmosphere between a girlfriend and boyfriend. After all, a young man with a girlfriend always likes to emphasize this. Of course. This was also telling Hua Xin that today she was no longer the Hua Xin who wore a pure black hoodie, a hood, and a mask to school, but a very beautiful girl going to school as his girlfriend. A new beginning. How could Hua Xin not understand that Xia Yan, always so meticulously caring and gentle to the point of being "damnable," was telling her she could forget everything from the past, because this was a new beginning. Perhaps there were many misunderstandings and hardships along their journey together, and they had experienced many things that each had to face and resolve individually to finally reach this point. It had all been truly difficult. The girl raised her head, looking at the sun shining gently across the azure sky, her eyes slightly narrowed as if savoring this rare warmth. Hua Xin and Gu Xin Hua were the same person. She thought to herself inexplicably. Actually, thinking about it carefully, the things that had troubled her before, the scenes that had filled her with worry, the things that she hadn't known what to do and had chosen to escape or subconsciously give up, all seemed insignificant now. As long as she could bravely take that step forward. Just like when she received Hua Shanming's call, she didn't choose to pack her bags and leave the home she had lived in for so many years, but instead used it as leverage to exchange for a legal identity with him. If it were her previous personality, she probably wouldn't dare utter a single word, terrified, and would immediately run out to find a park or under a bridge to stay in until her body turned ice-cold and she became rock hard, right? Not 100%, but probably 110%. Hua Xin knew herself better than anyone; after all, she had even considered giving up on Zisha before. The chuunibyou thought, "It's not me who's wrong, it's the world," had frequently crossed her mind, and choosing to escape alone wasn't exactly laughable. Back then, nothing could rekindle her hope for the future. Becoming a girl was truly a miracle. She understood that all the experiences and countless nights she had as a man weren't just a pipe dream, but real scenes and events. Having friends, having love, having someone she liked, having a home. Even if you looked at any one of these things individually, they seemed like options only found in daydreams, but now she had them all. She was the happiest person in the world. This was something Hua Xin firmly believed in the moment she chose to be honest with Xia Yan. Whether it was Hua Xin or Gu Xin Hua, they were both her. They were both real people, both leaving their mark on this world. The word "courage" had been seen countless times in novels, anime, and TV dramas since childhood. But whenever she saw the protagonist overcome that seemingly impossible step, Hua Xin, as a viewer, naturally felt a mix of sadness and joy for them. Like Luffy in the Marineford War, or Naruto becoming Naruto. Now, Hua Xin could probably be proud of her past self, right? Her previous worries—that Xia Yan would leave her, that she would be treated like a monster, that everyone around her, including Sister Li Xue, would see her as a fraud and condemn her, leaving her alone...none of these things happened!! None of her fears came true. Hua Xin had hardly ever been brave in her life; most of her experiences were spent silently enduring and licking her wounds, like a doormat. But that one act of courage changed her life. The girl gently reached out and linked her arm with Xia Yan's.
