If Xia Yan Became a Girl 14

Fall in love.

These three phrases, which seem impossible to associate with a shut-in who only knows how to play games and watch anime at home, are obviously not completely unrelated to Hua Xin, but we can conclude that they are unrelated by a probability of 99.9999%.

Let's set aside whether it's a boy or a girl who might encounter this situation.

As long as the "otaku" attribute remains, "love" will be like a magnet that repels like, and no matter how hard you try to pull them together, they will ultimately be unable to get close.

This is a truth that exists in this world, something that even God cannot rewrite.

Can someone really believe that someone who stays home all day, doesn't study, doesn't work, doesn't even manage to go to bed early and wake up early, whose room is a complete mess like a garbage dump, calls any cute girl they see online their "wife," and fantasizes about how they would cherish the beautiful girls in games or anime if they were the male protagonist, and then at night they suddenly become emo and world-weary, like they've been diagnosed with "Tama Syndrome"—

People like that should be able to find a partner, right?

Even if there is such a thing, it's probably just a ploy to trick you into buying tea grown by her grandfather under the guise of Online Relationship.

In short, if we only consider Hua Xin's perspective, let alone finding a girl to date, even being able to have a normal conversation with a girl in real life is like getting a gold item in a single draw.

If nothing unexpected happens, Hua Xin will probably never experience what it's like to have a lovely girlfriend and enjoy Tian Tian romance in her lifetime.

Lack of courage is one aspect, and social anxiety is another.

Spending her life with the loyal Little Right is probably one aspect, since Hua Xin doesn't have the financial means to buy things like Love of the Green Snake or XX Sisters right now.

At most, we can consider the flavor of Kang Shuaifu and White Elephant) to see which one we prefer.

He was very clear about this point.

She swept her long hair to one side, and the typical otaku hairstyle was unusually prominent on Hua Xin.

The slightly cool tap water hit her face, and the sudden icy sensation on her skin instantly dispelled the drowsiness that Hua Xin had just woken up from her sleep.

Water dripped into the pool, and Hua Xin looked up but accidentally saw the face wash on the washing machine not far away.

Obviously, this is not his.

It wasn't because he couldn't afford them. Although he was already quite poor and didn't have much money, he would still try to find ways to get his hands on some essential items.

Raising her arm, Hua Xin grasped the bottle precisely from the somewhat rusty iron rack.

The words "Men's Thirteen-in-One" were prominently displayed on it, and the packaging was different from Xia Yan's facial cleanser, being entirely black and blue.

This is a top-tier product that only men should use.

Hmm, does saying this hurt Xia Yan's feelings? After all, she has just experienced that bizarre incident...

Fortunately, it was just a thought in my mind.

Hua Xin breathed a sigh of relief, then spread the liquid evenly in her hand and gently applied it to her face until some foam appeared before rinsing it off with tap water.

A faint sense of freshness washed over her, and Hua Xin, unusually, reached out and tidied her hair in front of the mirror.

Her pale skin, clearly lacking sunlight, was accentuated by two prominent dark circles under her eyes. Her gaze held a sense of despondency that she couldn't shake off no matter how hard she tried, and her long hair was a messy, bird's nest-like disheveled mess.

However, there is some good news amidst the many bad news items.

His features are fairly clean and handsome; if he were to groom himself a little, he could certainly be considered a handsome man.

"Well..."

With a soft sigh, Hua Xin lowered her head weakly and rested her hand on the edge of the pool.

When it comes to appearance, it doesn't matter how ugly or handsome you are if it's just yourself. But once someone notices you, or when there's someone you want to notice, you'll subconsciously start thinking about your appearance, speech, and behavior.

Everyone wants to make a good impression on those who are looking for attention.

This usually happens during job interviews or blind dates.

For someone like Hua Xin, a complete shut-in who never leaves the house, this is definitely something she doesn't need to worry about.

But things are different now than before.

Seemingly struggling, Hua Xin slowly raised her head with an unusually complex and conflicted look in her eyes, and looked at herself in the mirror again.

He still looked frail and overindulgent.

If Hua Xin were a girl, she would obviously kick him away immediately, and even speaking to him would feel dirty.

He still doesn't understand what Xia Yan is trying to do.

Last night, after going out for a walk with Xia Yan in a park not far from home, Xia Yan suddenly said something that was obviously a joke to him when they were about to go home.

"We are boyfriend and girlfriend now, not brothers."

Isn't it obvious?!

Although he still treats her like a male friend, the physical changes are undeniable. Realistically, they are now a boy and a girl, and if you add friends, they're practically a couple...

If she could, Hua Xin would naturally tell herself that Xia Yan had only just accepted her as a girl, and that they were still good friends and good brothers.

But what if we added the more direct phrase "dating"?

I hope Xia Yan is really joking.

However, his serious expression didn't seem like he was joking at all.

Still somewhat silent, Hua Xin wiped her face with a towel, removing all the water droplets. Then, she gently ruffled her hair, making her messy curls look neater and more organized.

Unfortunately, the hair clearly had its own ideas and didn't want to automatically change shape according to Hua Xin's wishes.

Brushing your teeth and washing your face solves your daily morning physiological needs.

Hua Xin had already finished washing up, but she still had no intention of leaving the bathroom.

Leaning against the windowsill, he rubbed his face with some hesitation, his mind involuntarily replaying Xia Yan's words from last night:

"Starting tomorrow, you have to treat me like your girlfriend."

"Instead of treating them like brothers from before."

"We're dating now, understand?"

Although Hua Xin could understand, there were still some things he didn't quite grasp.

Can you tell him what it's like to date your best friend?!
