If Xia Yan Became a Girl 25
Compared to the relaxed holiday time when all they had to do was think about what to eat and what to do, and then just endlessly enjoy life day after day, the days after school started were an incredibly agonizing experience for both Hua Xin and Xia Yan.
Hua Xin was clearly interrupted because Mei Mei had been enjoying the comfortable life of staying at home alone as a shut-in for several years without ever leaving her room. Every day, she not only had to go to and from school, but also had to become classmates with people she didn't know at all before and attend classes together.
Faced with classmates and teachers whose names he couldn't even remember, Hua Xin could only say that he would rather memorize the name of Shoumaru from Gintama than attend those courses that seemed to have no practical use. He felt that it was more efficient to study online.
Hua Xin couldn't imagine what one could learn from simply staring blankly at an outdated PowerPoint presentation.
For Xia Yan, who had been diligently studying and maintaining her persona, there was no reason for her to continue when she should have been trying to gain something from her schooling and leave everyone with the impression that Xia Yan was a perfect handsome guy.
Although only those who were previously connected to her had their memories altered, she is no longer the muscular Xia Yan she once was. Now, with her beautiful young woman appearance, she tries to convince strangers with things like, "Actually, I used to be a muscular man, not like this. Do you believe me?"
Most people would probably think she's mentally ill.
Moreover, the "abstract beautiful girl" persona has become obsolete.
But none of that matters. For Xia Yan, going to school, socializing, and learning have become routine, regardless of whether she adapts or not. It has become a habit ingrained in her very being.
What left her speechless was clearly another reason.
"Hello, are you Hua Xin? Can we exchange contact information?"
As get out of class ended, shy girls and girls dressed in cute styles, with calm expressions but eyes filled with hope and longing, low-key rich girls dressed in understated yet luxurious attire, or even enchanting beauties in short skirts and glamorous makeup, showcasing their curvaceous figures, all unanimously gathered in the inconspicuous last row of the classroom.
This scene was frequently seen in the classroom during the first few days of school after military training.
Of course, this also includes the students in this class.
Logically speaking, people who sit in the last row usually have no intention of listening to the lecture and are only doing so because it's convenient to play on their phones or to sleep in peace.
Hua Xin clearly thought so, but now it seems that he can no longer control the direction in which things are developing.
Following Xia Yan's instructions, Hua Xin changed her appearance, her way of speaking, and, most importantly, her emotional intelligence in social interactions. While she can't be compared to Daniel Wu or a campus idol, she's certainly a minor celebrity in the academy and on the campus confession wall.
You have to understand that in the current climate, just being handsome wouldn't get you this kind of fame.
Even less interesting than someone stealing takeout or someone secretly dressing up as a woman and entering a girls' dormitory.
But Hua Xin was a little different.
This difference refers to the fact that although he is very handsome, his handsomeness is accompanied by a unique personal charm.
For example, no matter what you say to Hua Xin about things like hints and ambiguity, he will stare at you coldly and sharply, but he will not say anything sarcastic or reject you. He will just stare at you silently.
This leads to some girls with poor mental fortitude often being unable to withstand the tension of being stared at in the cold shoulder. Even though they don't get any other response, they will imagine three options: whether Hua Xin agreed, didn't agree, or will contact them later.
According to objective surveys, the probabilities of these three options are average.
As a result, coupled with the fact that Hua Xin rarely spoke at school and even answered questions in class in a very simple and concise manner, the title of "cold-faced handsome guy" gradually spread.
But in reality, Hua Xin was just unsure of what to say and her own social anxiety was causing her problems.
As for Xia Yan ...
Her situation was similar to Hua Xin's, but in some other respects, it was much worse.
For example, in schools with a high male-to-female ratio, a large number of sexually repressed young men who have never been in a relationship or those who are superficially attractive will likely target cute, pretty, and well-built girls.
Xia Yan regrets that she has become such a standard.
She was too lazy to even count the number of people, and she didn't want to recall how many self-confident and outstanding guys she had been approached by, who were actually only thinking about certain lewd ideas.
On the way to and from school, on the way to the playground, while eating in the cafeteria, and even on the school's confession wall, you can see love letters posted by people every day.
Xia Yan was too lazy to complain, but after all, she was already very outstanding and perfect, so it was normal for her to be so admired by so many people. After all, Xia Yan was equally outstanding regardless of gender.
But she never expected that Hua Xin would also receive the same treatment as her.
Solving her own problem was quite simple.
Most people are obviously only aiming to become a couple, but the primary condition is that she doesn't have a boyfriend in order to have the opportunity to continue as a couple.
So as long as the news that she actually has a boyfriend is released, she won't have these troubles anymore.
Hua Xin, being a dead person, clearly couldn't have imagined such a thing.
Holding the belief that dating is normal in college, and considering the numerous female admirers surrounding Hua Xin every day Xia Yan grew increasingly indifferent. Ultimately, seeing Xia Yan's exceptionally good attitude in Hua Xin and her affirmation of his importance, uniqueness, and sustainable potential as her good friend...
Two people who were both popular with the opposite sex became a couple in public.
Just when Xia Yan thought she could end everything and return to a normal life, the person who posed the biggest challenge for her was always haunting her.
Lin Qingyu invited her, Hua Xin's number one girlfriend in name and in reality, to meet and have a proper talk.
Let's talk?
Heh heh...
