Walking Back onto Campus as Lovers

Today is a good day.

The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was much warmer. Compared to the bleakness and cold of winter, it was a rare and comforting day to have the warm sunshine of spring.

Actually, this kind of weather is quite suitable for eating hot pot, and it must be an authentic Chongqing-style hot pot with a super spicy broth. Whether you're cooking meat or vegetables, it will be incredibly delicious.

Hua Xin still felt very hungry when she thought about the last time she had hot pot.

After all, her greatest hobby is eating delicious food.

Now that she had the confidence to eat whatever she wanted, Hua Xin reached out and poked Xia Yan's arm, looking at him with bright eyes and asking softly, "How about we go to the supermarket later?"

"How about hot pot for dinner?!"

Xia Yan pondered for a moment. Coincidentally, they had almost finished eating the food in the refrigerator. After picking up the textbooks from school and listening to a short talk, that would be the end of it. After that...

He seemed to remember something, but after a pause, he chuckled without hesitation and replied, "Okay, wife, eat whatever you want."

Hua Xin tucked her hands into her coat pockets and rolled her eyes at Xia Yan. She was at a loss as to what to do when he might suddenly act like a shrew.

Sure enough, we should eat all the meat first tonight, and not leave him any.

At the dinner table, those who are not strong enough are only fit to eat boiled vegetables, and men who are not strong enough are not worthy to be her men!

"But..." Xia Yan's voice rang out again, causing Hua Xin to turn her head slightly to look at him.

"I need to go back to the dormitory first to take some things I didn't take with me back home, and then I won't have to stay in the dormitory anymore."

"Oh, then I'll go with you."

"I can also help you carry some things while I'm at it."

"Okay~"

"But this time you can only wait downstairs at the dormitory, right, Miss Hua Xin?" Xia Yan pronounced the last four words with particular emphasis, as if reminding the girl beside him of something.

"..."

"Shrimp-headed man." Hua Xin curled her lips, leaving only a weak and feeble retort.

She knew what Xia Yan meant, but every time she saw Xia Yan's smiling face, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

It felt like their conversation, which was originally between two friends and good buddies, was suddenly transformed into the atmosphere and scene between a girlfriend and boyfriend.

After all, young men who have girlfriends always like to emphasize this point.

Certainly.

This is also a way of telling Hua Xin that she is no longer the Hua Xin used to go to school wearing a pure black hoodie, a hood, and a mask, but is now going to school as a very beautiful girl and her girlfriend.

A new beginning.

How could Hua Xin not understand that Xia Yan, who was always so considerate and gentle that it made people feel "damn it," was telling her that she could forget everything from the past, because from now on it would be a new beginning.

They may have had many misunderstandings and hardships on their way together, and they have also gone through many things that they each had to face and solve individually before finally getting to where they are now.

All of this has been really difficult.

The girl raised her head and looked at the sun shining gently in the azure sky, her eyes slightly narrowed as if savoring this rare warmth.

Hua Xin and Gu Xin Hua are the same person.

She thought this for no reason.

If you think about it carefully, the things that bothered her before, the scenes that worried her, the things that made her not know what to do and chose to escape or subconsciously give up, don't seem like much now.

As long as you are brave enough to take that first step forward.

Just like when she received Hua Shanming's call, she didn't choose to pack her bags and leave the home she had lived in for so many years, but instead used it as a bargaining chip to exchange for a legal identity with him.

If it were based on her previous personality, she probably wouldn't dare to say a word, she would be so scared that she would immediately run out to find a park or under a bridge and stay there until her body gets cold and she gets hard.

I wouldn't say 100%, but it's probably around 110%.

Hua Xin knew herself all too well, after all, she had previously considered giving up the Zisha teapot.

The chuunibyou idea that "it's not me who's wrong, it's the world" has appeared in her mind quite often, so choosing to escape alone isn't really a ridiculous thing.

At that time, she really had nothing that could rekindle her hope for the future and tomorrow.

Becoming a girl is truly a special miracle.

She understood that all the little things and countless nights she had experienced as a man were not just a pipe dream, but real scenes and events.

To have friends, to have love, to have someone you like, and to have a home.

Even if you look at any one of these things individually, they seem like options that you should only see in a daydream, but now she has them all.

She is the happiest person in the world.

This was something Hua Xin firmly believed in the moment she chose to be honest with Xia Yan.

Whether it's Hua Xin or Gu Xin Hua.

Those were all hers.

These are all real people who existed, and these are all traces she left in this world.

The word "bravery" has been seen countless times in various novels, anime, TV series, and other works since I was a child.

But whenever the protagonist takes that seemingly impossible step, Hua Xin, as a viewer, naturally feels both melancholy and joy for them.

It seems to be either Luffy during the Marineford War or Naruto became Naruto.

Hua Xin now should be able to be proud of her past self, right?

She had previously worried that Xia Yan would leave her, that she would be treated like a monster, and that everyone around her, including Sister Li Xue, would treat her as a fraud and accuse her, leaving her all alone again...

None of these appeared!

None of her worries came true.

Hua Xin has hardly ever been brave in her life. Most of her experiences have been about silently enduring and licking her wounds, like a doormat.

But that one courageous act changed her life.

The girl gently reached out and hooked her arm around Xia Yan's.

"It's a new semester, please be kind to me, my deskmate," Xia Yan said with a joking sigh, looking at the door in front of him.

Hua Xin, unusually, didn't attack him. Instead, she blinked and spoke to Xia Yan in a slightly cloyingly sweet voice.

"Brother Yan, please give me your guidance."

"Cough..."

Xia Yan's face showed a rare seriousness, and his smile froze slightly.

Seeing Xia Yan's embarrassed expression, Hua Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Since it was the first day of school, there were already many people coming and going at the school gate. As a handsome guy and a beautiful girl, they naturally attracted a lot of curious glances.

But this time she wasn't afraid.

Hua Xin and Xia Yan walked through the gate and into the school together.

This time, it was as an engaged couple.
