"Wifey, has that wild man been bothering you again???"
"I'm telling you, I understand the thoughts of these shrimp-headed men best. If he isn't lusting after your beauty, I'll stand on my head and write my name upside down with a pen held by my belly button??."
"If you're scared, tell me where you are. Wifey, I'll come to your place and help calm your spirits??, and warm your icy little feetsies while I'm at it..."
"?"
Faced with such an outrageous message, Hua Xin nearly punched straight through the monitor.
"Get lost, you pervert!??"
"Wifey cursed at me, wifey cursed at me! I love wifey the most, meow??."
"..."
Hua Xin rolled her eyes and took the ice wrapped in a towel off her head??.
There wasn't a huge bump, but it still hurt so much...
"It's just that I'm afraid you'll stop wanting me. You won't meet me in person, and if some shady dog of a scumbag cheats on me with you, I'll shed tiny pearls??."
"Waaah waaah waaah waaah??..."
As he spoke, Xia Yan put on an act and fake-cried a couple of times.
"I've kept myself pure for you, wifey. A bad woman tried to get my attention today, but I didn't fall for it. I turned around and went to spend time with my good bro instead... Wifey, wifey, can you praise me??."
Lao Shui had practically turned into a wifey-obsessed freak, fawning over her in a cloying voice.
The girl twitched the corner of her mouth and forcibly suppressed the combined discomfort in her mind and body. Even though she had been in an online relationship with this shrimp-headed man for nearly a month, she still couldn't get used to how perverted he was.
No... You're just a stinking bricklayer. You actually met a girl who threw herself at you? You must've gotten delusions from working with cement. How can you be so shamelessly confident? (disgusted face)...
The persona "Lao Shui" had created for Hua Xin online was naturally that of a hardworking Civil Engineering Senior??♀?. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such distinct abs and muscles.
How could anyone be this disgusting? (disgusted)...
"Send me money, or we're breaking up."
Hua Xin threatened him coldly.
Ding, QQ Wallet received fifty yuan.
"My loyalty to love is unshakable. I will only love one person in my entire life??."
(But who I love is another matter.)
"Lao Shui, you can rest assured!??"
The girl suddenly spoke righteously, her eyes seemingly sparkling as she hugged her phone tightly.
Her balance had increased again. Maybe she could eat rice for the entire month after all??!!
How was Lao Shui disgusting? This was clearly a distinctive personality, overflowing with charisma??...
Suddenly, a somewhat chaotic noise came through the girl's two free-shipping speakers.
Lao Shui's voice became a little cautious. He lowered his voice. "Wifey, my workmates are back. I'll hang up for now. We can talk when we have time. Mua??."
"Keep it up. Carry more bricks to support me."
The girl spoke in a seductive tone. "A manual laborer who can't earn three hundred a day will be abandoned by me??."
"How can you rest at your age?" (A manipulative statement.)
"Of course I'll work hard to earn money and mar—"
Before he could finish, Hua Xin hung up the QQ call.
That deliberately lowered, bubbly voice finally vanished from her ears. Could he really think his voice was magnetic? (It actually was.)
"Heh heh, marry who? I'm eighteen this year. I'm a man??..."
Uh... Looking at the fair, delicate little hand in her line of sight, the girl fell silent and skipped over the subject.
She leaned back, and the gaming chair rolled backward a little on its base. A pair of long legs as white as jade was immediately exposed from beneath the desk.
They were neither too thin nor too plump.
The only flaw in this beauty was the patch of visible bruising on her right calf below the knee.
She had gotten it after crashing into a pillar during the day and falling to the ground.
"Zan er lao er hu er shi er didididididaodao..."
After receiving her online-relationship payment, the girl was in an especially good mood. Even the pain in her head had eased considerably.
Hua Xin hummed as she stretched both legs straight. She lifted the "prisoner" out of her slipper and planted it on the floor. Then, with one hand, she made a V sign beside her thigh and aimed her phone at her lower body. The screen perfectly framed both her hand and her legs.
"Click."
A photo of her legs, untouched by any beautification, and more than enough to make a man's blood boil, was freshly produced.
The girl admired herself for a moment??.
How should she rate it...
There was only one way to describe it: it made people want to endure the urge to hug her, hate themselves for not being able to plug their... and desperately yearn to grab those two... and force three holes...??.
Hua Xin silently reached out and frantically stroked the skin of her legs for a while.
So good?? So tender, so supple??...
Why am I the one crying? If only she were my wife. If only she were my 2D wife!???
With tears in her eyes, the girl tapped send. Then she launched herself onto the bed, hugged a pillow, and rolled around happily, as if she could see more and more gold coins appearing in her balance.
Faced with such temptation, she refused to believe Lao Shui wouldn't obediently become an ATM!
Come to think of it, was she being a little too evil...
Uh... Hadn't she said something about never selling her soul or body before??... Ding!
The microwave's sound seemed to transform into a cat treat. The instant she heard it, Hua Xin rushed into the kitchen.
Time to eat rice????!!
Magic City University, Men's Dormitory 1225.
Xia Yan was hiding in the dorm's private bathroom. Sitting on the toilet lid with his eyes tightly shut, he held his phone on his lap and slowly took rhythmic, deep breaths.
He kept murmuring softly, "The heart is pure as water; pure water is the heart.
"The breeze does not stir; the waves remain calm."
"Seated alone in a secluded bamboo grove, I whistle and play the qin."
"Zen silence enters meditation; the venomous dragon vanishes."
"My heart has no apertures; Heaven rewards diligence."
"My righteousness is awe-inspiring; all ghosts and monsters tremble."
"I am also lustful, ??..."
Uh... He had recited it wrong.
But Xia Yan's handsome, attractive face remained perfectly calm, as though nothing had happened.
If one ignored the bulge standing high in his shorts.
"Brother Yan, are you done yet... I'm dying of heat. I want to shower, I want to wash my—xx??!!"
"Me too, Brother Yan!! That woman kept leaning against me and saying things like, 'You smell so good.' I'm practically glued to her, aaaaaah!!"
"Not you smelling good too. Is that woman's nose high-tech or something?"
"Good boy. Go play somewhere else."
"Don't slander me. I'm into trendy stuff now!"
Hearing Mu Feng and Xiang Guan bickering outside the door made Xia Yan even more irritated in the sweltering summer heat.
The restless fire he had finally suppressed with the Heart Cleansing Incantation flared up again.
Xia Yan silently opened his eyes and looked down at his little brother, which seemed to be expressing its unwillingness and grievance by refusing to return to normal.
He couldn't possibly go out like this...
Today was day 899. Tomorrow was the crucial day when he would break through the shackles of 900 days??...
How could he be... Xia Yan inexplicably opened his phone again.
He opened the photo album, dragged the screen downward, and tapped the line-shaped symbol.
After entering the hidden album, the photo of Hua Xin making a V sign with one hand was right at the top.
Swipe.
It was the photo of Hua Xin's "prisoner"??.
Swipe.
It was the photo of Hua Xin's legs??.
"Gulp."
Xia Yan swallowed??.
For some reason, he had seen all kinds of beautiful women and countless uniformed skirts in the real world.
Yet none of them could arouse the slightest desire in him.
But Hua Xin seemed to be an exception.
Every part of her body attracted him.
Perhaps because he had suppressed himself for too long, Xia Yan—who could only act crazy online—finally understood what it meant to be consumed by lust on the 899th day.
"Damn, secret."
He said calmly.
"Received."
"Okay, I won't rush you anymore."
Xia Yan slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he opened a video app and turned up the volume as well. "I'm Jeremy Wa..."
Looking at his still-unsatisfied little brother, he helplessly leaned back a little.
"Hold it in..."
"Xia Yan, you can do this. Recite the Heart Cleansing Incantation, pretty feet, uh..."
"Hold it in for me????..."
