Time is like the last Coca-Cola, I can do it, but after I drink it, there's no turning back. ——— Excerpt from Hua Xin's collected writings.
Today is October 9th, Thursday, one day before Magic City University's freshman welcoming party.
When people hear the term "popular person," they always think it means having many friends, a fulfilling real life, easily solving interpersonal problems, and never lacking romantic partners.
But no one can be perfect, right?
Being fulfilled in reality means there are still shortcomings in certain aspects.
Just like God opened a door for Hua Xin, and at the same time closed a window.
But now…
Under her mask, Hua Xin, with a dark line across her forehead (jealousy), watched Xia Yan standing on stage. The surrounding cheers and high-pitched voices of young women seemed to be in some strange trance as they shouted Xia Yan's name.
"Junior Xia Yan, you're so handsome!!"
"I didn't expect Brother Yan to be good at sports and academics, but also a top-notch singer..."
"Can you sing it again? It sounds really good, ahhhhhhh!!"
"Tomorrow's best solo performance will definitely be yours! My idol!!"
As they shouted, a few senior students wearing pure white floral dresses threw their prop flowers onto the stage before shyly running back.
Their lovestruck expressions were hard not to make their male counterparts angry…
Why him?!
The senior students who threw the flowers seemed to have made a big decision with their actions, their faces flushed pink, and they kept stealing glances at Xia Yan.
The girl twitched the corner of her mouth as if struck by lightning.
Seriously… have you never seen a guy before?
Is it that serious!
Xia Yan is just better looking, has a better figure, and a gentler tone…
Ugh…
He's trying to act like a human.
Sounds good?? I'll say it doesn't (it really sounds good)!!
Hua Xin snorted coldly and said in a low, indifferent voice, "Terrible..."
Mu Feng, sitting beside her, subconsciously retorted, "I re..."
The pair of red-glowing eyes in the girl's hood stared intently at him through her hair.
Thinking that her leverage was still firmly in the other person's grasp, Mu Feng's calm expression instantly changed as he said, "A good brother has to tell the truth. Brother Yan still has some way to go."
Xiang Guan's expression was as calm and detached as ever, as if he had no more worldly desires. He didn't even seem to consider that the girl was talking about Xia Yan, and immediately agreed, "Agreed."
However, Xiang Guan's hand was tightly gripping his phone, as if waiting for someone's message.
His eyes never left the stage.
"Thank you, seniors. I still have a lot to learn."
"I won't delay your practice time. I'll be going now."
Xia Yan, dressed in a well-fitting and handsome suit, said gently. He also picked up the prop flowers that had been thrown onto the stage and returned them as he walked off.
"So gentle…"
"So handsome…" x10086
Seeing Xia Yan up close, they still wanted to say something, but after seeing Lin Qingyu and an exceptionally sweet-looking girl come on stage next, they all silently gave up on the idea.
Anyone with eyes could see that Lin Qingyu had been the closest to Xia Yan for the past two days in the activity hall.
Sigh…
It's because she's good-looking, has a great figure, and comes from a wealthy family.
Even if these two got together, they wouldn't have any objections (Hua Xin: I do.).
After all, they are a perfect match. And they could only come to admire his looks at a time like this.
"How was it? Not bad, brothers?"
Xia Yan relaxed, took off his jacket and shirt, and sat down next to Hua Xin with a smile.
Mu Feng: "Awesome, you're invincible, Brother Yan."
Xiang Guan: "When it comes to the god of singing in the world, there is only Xia Yan and Xiang Guan who bathes."
Hua Xin: "…"
"Brother Hua, what's your evaluation?"
It was a perfectly ordinary sentence, and the tone was as gentle as usual, but to Hua Xin, who had already discovered Xia Yan's true nature, it carried a different meaning:
(If you don't say nice things to me, I'll beat you severely in front of all these people. Think carefully about what you should say now. Don't pretend to be human. Hurry up and say something nice, or you can wait to have your body sink into the Huangpu River tomorrow??.)
????
(So scary, so scary, so scary, so scary????)
(This person is truly hypocritical, hypocritical!????)
Hua Xin said tremblingly, "Haoting."
"Actually, it's just average. It would be a blessing if nothing goes wrong tomorrow." Xia Yan unbuttoned his white shirt and tugged at his collar.
"By the way... can you come out tomorrow night, Brother Hua?"
"The party is said to last very late, but I can definitely take you home."
"This time, not only will there be student performances, but the school has also invited a professional band? What's it called... Three Hands Peony?"
"Since the venue is the sports field, we can buy some good food and watch slowly."
"How about it?"
Xia Yan asked softly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Although he had mentioned it to Hua Xin before and she had agreed, Xia Yan still wanted to clarify the specific schedule for tomorrow and let her choose.
This was also a step he was taking to face the outside world.
A choice he made himself.
(You won't not come, right? It's not easy for me to threaten you with Mu Feng and Xiang Guan here. Don't make me say things too harshly. I've given you so many options, and everyone is watching. Don't be ungrateful, or else??...)
(I've told you about the band and the good food. After we eat our last meal tomorrow, we'll go our separate ways. If you make me happy, I'll at most bully you a bit??.)
Why are Hua Xin's eyes often filled with tears?
"I'll come..."
The young girl suppressed the sobs in her heart and said calmly in a low voice.
"Okay! Tell me what you want to eat then, and I'll buy more with Mu Feng and the others."
Xia Yan seemed very happy, chuckling lightly.
Looking at the pure white shoes on Hua Xin's feet, instead of the ill-fitting ones from before, he felt even more gratified.
Being able to dress herself meant that Hua Xin had begun to "care about others' opinions."
This was a good change.
However... they seemed a bit small.
"My future is mine to decide..."
A sweet voice from the audience sounded, instantly making the dazed Xiang Guan stand at attention. He took out his phone and started snapping pictures of the beautiful woman on stage.
He murmured as if possessed, "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling..." His mouth was about to water.
Mu Feng gave him a light, dismissive kick, but Xiang Guan remained unmoved.
Xia Yan's eyes flickered as he looked at Xiang Guan. The dark, scheming aura that only existed online seemed about to emerge.
After returning from the holiday, he had not chosen to immediately deal with the mole.
As a popular person, maintaining good relationships and reputation was why he hadn't refused Lin Qingyu's advances.
But...
That wasn't a reason for her to instigate his good brother into becoming a spy.
Similarly, those who betrayed him would pay the price??.
"A senior from a higher grade?"
"I'm going to meet my wife??..."
"I'll kiss you in front of everyone at school to piss you off??."
Xia Yan thought wickedly in his heart.
