Chapter 78

The slightly chilly bathwater splashed on her body, gradually turning the girl's fair skin a faint pink from the cold. Usually very careful about water usage, she now stood there blankly, her hands gripping the wall, letting the water droplets from the showerhead slowly drip down her face and onto the floor. Kidney deficiency, sometimes after overexertion?... "Achoo!?" Hua Xin suddenly sneezed without warning, staring blankly at the wide-open window. Uh, a little cold. She then silently turned off the shower, absentmindedly draping a towel over her head and gently drying herself. After drying her hair until it wasn't dripping wet, she gently wiped the water off her body, walked from the bathroom to the bedroom, and picked up two half-used bandages from a plastic box on the table. She peeled off the plastic strips and skillfully applied one to the slime... one on the left. One on the right. Wearing a loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt and boxer briefs printed with a gray wolf, the girl plopped down on the bed, her long, wet hair spread across the pillow. She stared at the familiar ceiling with a complicated expression, lost in thought. A long time had passed. Nine hours? Ten hours? Ever since learning about this... this seemingly deliberately orchestrated "coincidence" from Xia Yan's phone that afternoon, the girl's mind had been in a state of chaos. Her best friend and her Online Relationship boyfriend?... Hua Xin reached out her hand, then lowered it with a flicker of emotion, recalling the scene at the coffee shop. The hand in her vision was indeed as Lin Qingyu had described—small, white, and without any other blemishes. Completely different from her hands when she was a boy. Although both were sickly, dark white, this one was noticeably smaller. Male or female... she murmured softly, somewhat confused. "Buzz." Her phone suddenly vibrated, but Hua Xin no longer felt the anticipation of checking who sent the message. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't dispel the underlying anger and embarrassment. Ha... because whether it's Lao Shui... or Xia Yan... they're all the same person, the same big liar?... She rolled over, curled up into a ball, and pulled the blanket over herself, trying to bury her head in the sand to avoid checking her phone. "Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz..." Hua Xin tightly closed her eyes and plugged her ears, her heart pounding faster and faster. "Thump thump thump thump thump..." "Will this ever end???!!" The girl angrily threw off the blanket, her face flushed, and picked up her phone, but suddenly hesitated and struggled over whether to press the "accept" voice call option. Looking at the other person's profile picture, her expression fell silent. What identity should she use to interact with this "Lao Shui" in front of her? Pretending to know nothing as his "Cat Wife" and continuing their Online Relationship game? Or should she just tell him directly, "Haha, you little rascal, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm Hua Xin..."... Not funny at all. Hua Xin clicked "reject," then, without even looking at the message from "Lao Shui," she silenced her phone and tossed it aside. "What a self-destructing truck..." "So stupid..." the girl murmured self-deprecatingly, hugging her pillow. Curling up, she stared at the pure white ceiling, a far cry from her usual lively and cheerful self at home. Closing her eyes, Hua Xin calmly sorted out the sequence of events. She couldn't stay confused like this forever. Even if she got through today, she would have to make a choice about this matter later. Could she just abandon Xia Yan, her only friend? Could she bear to abandon the brother who had taken such good care of her for the past two months... even though this brother was a little rascal who was horny about her feet and legs online (silence). Maintain the status quo? As long as she doesn't tell Xia Yan in real life and cuts off all contact with him online, she can continue to maintain a peaceful life, and Xia Yan won't suspect anything because of this... The girl put her arm to her forehead with a headache, revealing her clean, hairless armpit. How could it be that simple... After Xia Yan breaks up with "her," will he still maintain his current chaste behavior for "Cat Wife"? Wouldn't that give Lin Qingyu, Liu Ruoyun, and other women, who are eyeing her like hawks, a chance to take her place? Moreover, Lin Qingyu now knows her secret of being a "girl," which is like a ticking time bomb... If Lin Qingyu takes her place, she will definitely have no chance to stay by Xia Yan's side... And if Liu Ruoyun takes her place, Lin Qingyu will naturally not let her go, and will continue to use this secret to unite with her against Liu Ruoyun... She will have even less chance to continue being friends with Xia Yan? In other words, it seems that as long as she breaks up with "Lao Shui," her friendship with Xia Yan in real life will also come to an end. Hua Xin opened her eyes, somewhat dazed, then sat up and looked out the window, her hair falling beside her ears. The few stars she could usually see were all gone, the moonlight was hazy and oppressive, and the dark sky seemed to be brewing a torrential downpour. Should she just pretend nothing had happened? Xia Yan and Hua Xin, Lao Shui and Invincible Cat Fist. Be good friends with Xia Yan, be a good Online Scam with Lao Shui. Treat reality and the internet as two separate worlds, continue her current life, she will continue to play the role of "Hua Xin," wandering... Stop!!! "No, this isn't right...?" Hua Xin suddenly Quick Attack the blanket tightly, a flash of insight in her mind, then she bit her pale lips hard, her heart pounding wildly, a bold idea suddenly appearing in her heart, her blush deepening, her eyes shining with unprecedented determination. When she was outside, she didn't use a fake voice, but her real voice to buy things. The kind-hearted elderly people called her "little girl" and "little beauty." She sent photos and voice messages to Xia Yan online, and he called her "wife." These were things that only Hua Xin could do now! Things that only she, as a "girl," could do now. "The one who became good friends with Xia Yan was the boy Hua Xin... not the arrogant and boastful Invincible Cat Fist online..." "Hua Xin..." "There are two Hua Xin..." "One is Xia Yan's good friend, and the other is Xia Yan's girlfriend..." "Nobody knows... nobody knows I exist?..." "Nobody knows the existence of 'Invincible Cat Fist,' nobody knows the existence of the peerless and invincible beautiful girl Hua Xin!!!" The girl seemed to suddenly understand something, and hurriedly jumped out of bed Flying Thunder God to the bathroom. She stared blankly at herself in the mirror, her breathing slightly rapid. Her rosy cheeks added an allure to her stunningly beautiful face, and her slightly misty eyes were captivating, like a succubus with heart-shaped, alluring eyes that irresistibly drew people in. Her slightly soft, long hair clung to her cheeks, giving her a slightly disheveled look. She was the epitome of womanhood, the most feminine of feminine! Her enormous slime-like figure and long, exposed legs undoubtedly drew the gaze of that certain man. How could the powerless Lin Qingyu and the flat-chested Liu Ruoyun compare to her?
