If Xia Yan Turned into a Girl, Part 15

"Um, what should I eat for breakfast?"

After emerging from her existential crisis in the restroom, Hua Xin finally mustered the courage to casually start a conversation with Xia Yan.

Because of the hot weather, the bedroom door obviously didn't need to be closed for ventilation, not to mention that there were only him and Xia Yan in the whole Little Black, and they were sleeping in the same room and on the same bed.

Hua Xin stood at the doorway and spoke cautiously to Xia Yan, who was leaning against a cushion with his phone in hand, seemingly looking at something.

Before this, he had already been struggling with what attitude and approach he should take to communicate with his "good brother".

But it would be great if we could just be good brothers like before.

Hua Xin couldn't understand what kind of feelings Xia Yan was having when he made this suggestion.

How about ordering takeout?

"Hmm... I just happen to have a great delivery coupon. How about the braised pork trotter rice, a must-have for those looking to lose their jobs?"

After hearing Hua Xin's voice, Xia Yan stopped looking at his phone and instead spoke with a calmness and gentleness that Hua Xin had never seen before.

According to what was said before, shouldn't Xia Yan be looking at him like he was trash and then complaining about how terrible his cooking was?

Something's not right.

Something's off, even down to nine out of ten.

But Hua Xin couldn't quite put her finger on what this awkward feeling was.

"I'll eat it!"

Out of respect for food, Hua Xin remained unusually firm in her statement.

He'd eat anything, not just pig's feet, but even Xia Yan's feet.

Of course, this only applies to Xia Yan now that she has become a beautiful young woman with fair skin and a petite figure, so he can bring himself to kiss her.

If it were the Xia Yan of the past, who was comparable to Tyson, he wouldn't have yielded even if Hua Xin were given a whole set of Great Memory Restoration Technique.

"Good."

"What about drinks? Cola or iced tea, you choose, Brother Hua."

Should I drink cola or iced tea?

For Hua Xin, this was an even more perplexing question than the trolley conjecture and whether Ye Wenjie should press the button to notify the Trisolarans.

First of all, cola is definitely only for its delicious taste, and the carbonation will obviously help to cut through the greasiness of a rice bowl with meat.

However, the strong, tangy taste of iced tea after being chilled is quite unique, and it doesn't lose out to Coca-Cola at all.

So for Hua Xin, these two choices are...

Etc.

How many words were in Xia Yan's last sentence?

Flower x1, Brother x2, You x1, Choose x1, One x1, One x1.

The permutation and combination approach is clearly flawed, right?

Actually, it was a hallucination in his ears. What Xia Yan said was actually, "Brother, you choose one flower, brother one." That's right, although it seems like a nonsensical sentence that was just randomly put together, the probability of Xia Yan saying this was obviously higher than the original sentence.

Just as Hua Xin was about to express her choice, she suddenly analyzed Xia Yan's answer in her mind.

Actually, he was hallucinating.

It's fine.

"Iced tea, I remember you also like iced tea, Lao Xia."

"It has to be ice-cold, you'll understand if it's you, after all, we're best buddies, hahaha..."

Hua Xin deleted what had just happened from her mind and then gave her answer in the same way she always did.

Xia Yan only informed Hua Xin of what happened last night; Hua Xin has not yet responded to this matter, let alone agreed to it.

Just kidding, what real man has time to play dating games with her?

Even if she's a beautiful girl comparable to 2D, it won't work!!

Of course, there are prerequisites. Xia Yan, who was her good friend before, is temporarily rejected. But if we put that aside, Hua Xin would be happy to play the dating game.

After all, in the current situation, encountering a beautiful girl who wants to date you is like finding a five-million-dollar gold bar while walking around.

"Okay, it's chilled."

"You still remember that I liked iced tea... but that was a long time ago."

"Since I started exercising, I rarely drink sugary drinks, which is actually a kind of torture for myself."

With a soft sigh, a hint of reminiscence appeared in Xia Yan's eyes, before she continued gently:

"The food delivery won't arrive for a while, shall I play some games first?"

"The Rune Brawl is back in League of Legends Mobile today, when is my boyfriend going to log in?"

She reached out and patted a clearly empty space on the bed, obviously reserved for Hua Xin to lie down.

Hua Xin's room may be a little small, but the bed is relatively large.

A double bed can comfortably accommodate two people.

Not to mention that Xia Yan is now a petite and beautiful girl, while Hua Xin is a skinny, skeletal otaku.

After hearing Xia Yan's words, Hua Xin did not show any other unusual expression on her face, but in reality, she was already drenched in sweat, almost like a waterfall.

Is it still auditory hallucination?

If I go to the hospital to get checked out, do I really need to mortgage the house?

This condition seems a bit too serious.

What Brother Hua? What boyfriend? What kind of nonsense is this damn ear hallucinating?

"There's not enough time to start a game."

"I feel like the delivery arrived pretty quickly. I'll go wait in the living room for a bit."

Hua Xin tried to appear calm and laughed it off, but the growing seriousness in his eyes betrayed him.

Oh no, this is bad, we're doomed.

Even now, he's still trying to recapture the atmosphere he had with Xia Yan by making jokes and memes. He doesn't want it to completely transform into a style of mutual teasing, but he does need to clear away the current strange atmosphere.

But Xia Yan seemed completely unresponsive.

Something has been off since this morning.

This awkwardness doesn't mean the two people had a fight; rather, they were both somewhat resentful and in a cold war phase, wondering "why didn't the other person apologize to me first?"

Rather, it was a feeling that made Hua Xin feel uncomfortable at all times.

It's like...

Xia Yan has truly become a different person, but it feels like...

"Oh, I see..."

"The place I ordered takeout from is a bit far away, but it still takes enough time."

Xia Yan gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then a distinctly playful glint flashed in her eyes, but she still spoke gently to Hua Xin:

"If we start a game, as long as you don't finish in a second..."

"There should still be enough time."
