My Online Friend Can't Be This Cute

"I never expected it to be you, Yan," Mo Xiangwen said with some difficulty. "And we're even classmates."

"Really? I didn't expect it either." Nuoya smiled. "What a coincidence, Mo."

Mo Xiangwen gathered his thoughts and finally accepted the fact that, after casually bumping into someone at a tourist attraction in another city, he had run into a future classmate and companion.

He put the documents back into the envelope and returned them to Yan Nuoya.

"Since we're classmates, let's go back to school together."

Once he truly accepted it, he actually felt much better. At least he no longer had to wonder why Nuoya had approached him.

Since they were classmates, there would definitely be an answer in the future.

Fortunately, there was indeed still a high-speed train to H City today. Although few tickets remained, both he and Yan Nuoya managed to get one.

More importantly, he had gotten a window seat.

Mo Xiangwen helped her put her suitcase on the luggage rack, then returned to his own seat and reclined it slightly. The wall was directly behind him anyway, so it did not matter if he leaned it back more.

Unfortunately, Nuoya was not seated beside him this time. She was across the aisle, sitting next to another girl.

Incidentally, the person beside him was also a girl, just nowhere near as pretty as Yan Nuoya.

Having grown used to spending time with Yan Nuoya these past two days, he could not be bothered to strike up a conversation with the girl beside him. Besides, even if he did, she might not necessarily want to talk.

Rather than make things awkward for himself, he might as well play on his phone for a while and sleep when he got tired.

He glanced at Yan Nuoya across the aisle. Although her face was calm, he could still sense a trace of unhappiness. In his impression, Yan Nuoya wore a smile most of the time.

Well, there was nothing to be done about it.

He did not know why Yan Nuoya would rather sit beside him than another girl.

But they had bought their tickets together. It was not his fault the ticketing system had failed them.

Just as he thought that, Yan Nuoya stood up and walked over.

"Excuse me, where are you headed?"

"Hmm? Me?"

His seatmate seemed a little flustered. Even though they were the same sex, Nuoya, as an exceptionally beautiful girl, was still incredibly imposing—especially since she seemed a little unhappy right now.

"I'm going to H City," she answered honestly.

"That's wonderful." Yan Nuoya revealed her familiar faint smile. "I'm also going to H City. Could we switch seats?"

"Uh, of course." The girl hurriedly stood up and switched seats with Yan Nuoya.

Unexpectedly, it was not completely impossible after all...

At least, he had never considered this development, nor had he ever switched seats with someone before.

When the girl sat down beside him, the heavy atmosphere finally vanished. She relaxed in her seat and played with her phone.

Looking at her profile, he thought about it. They were fairly familiar by now, so he simply voiced the question that had been lingering in his heart.

"Come to think of it, Nuoya, why did you go sightseeing in C City by yourself?"

"Is that strange?" Yan Nuoya stopped typing and turned to look at him.

"I just feel like girls usually go out in groups of three or five."

"Now that you mention it, that does seem true." She thought about it and nodded.

"Right? So why?"

"I don't know either. I suddenly wanted to go, so I went."

Even Yan Nuoya, who was usually so rational, found her own answer unbelievable. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a strange expression appeared on her face.

"It was a very sudden feeling."

Someone Always Wants to Harm Me

A Seductress: When are you planning to arrive in H City, Xiao Yi?

A Seductress: I'm considering whether to give you a grand welcome ceremony.

Human-Dragon Unity: I don't understand what a grand welcome ceremony means. Could you explain it?

A Seductress: I heard that some schools and student unions organize people to welcome freshmen at the high-speed rail station.

A Seductress: I could hold up a sign for you that says, "Brother Xiao Yi! Please look at me!" Or maybe something even more exciting.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Why not write it with colored pens and add a few hearts or something?

A Seductress: Yes, yes, that's exactly the vibe.

My fists are clenched.

Human-Dragon Unity: Listen to yourself. Does that sound like something a human would say? Something even more exciting?

Don't Play Holy Slash: You're making me a little tempted too, but it'd be killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of our own.

A Seductress: It's fine. You can wear a mask and prepare a pair of sunglasses that day.

Don't Play Holy Slash: That actually does make a little sense.

A Seductress: Right? Right?

Human-Dragon Unity: ...(Dare not speak despite being furious)

Human-Dragon Unity: Bro, I don't want that meal anymore. I'm begging you, okay?

Human-Dragon Unity: Don't do this. Damn it, seriously don't. Xiaohuo, you're betraying the affection and trust we've built over all these years.

A Seductress: No, no. There has never been any affection between us. Aside from exchanges of benefits, there is only betrayal.

Human-Dragon Unity: Big bro, have you forgotten my contribution from that level-two gank?

A Seductress: I remember it clearly. I told you not to come, but you insisted. You handed the enemy ADC both buffs, then the president and I got beaten like dogs in bot lane.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Ah, I remember that match too.

Human-Dragon Unity: I think our coordination was a little off. You used your skills too early.

A Seductress: Bai works well with you, so go gank mid. What were you doing in bot lane?

Human-Dragon Unity: If I really went, you wouldn't be happy either. muttering quietly

A Seductress: table slam.jpg

Human-Dragon Unity: Big bro drinking tea.jpg. Please, feel free to speak your mind.

A Seductress: You misunderstand me. I just want to blow you up.

Human-Dragon Unity: Hmph! Aahhhhh! I'll pick up my little salted fish and fight you to the death!

A Seductress: Bleh bleh bleh.

Baibai: It's already today, and we still haven't seen Pigeon come online. Did she get angry because she was muted the day before yesterday?

Don't Play Holy Slash: Uh, probably not?

Human-Dragon Unity: Uh, probably not?

A Seductress: @Flaked Out Say something, say something.

Flaked Out: Why are you being so fierce, Xiaohuo?

Flaked Out: Baibai is still the best. She remembered to worry about me.

Flaked Out: Thanks for your concern, Baibai. I went out to have fun these past two days and had a great time, so I didn't chat much in the group.

Baibai: Mm-hm, where did Pigeon go?

Flaked Out: Hehe, secret.

Baibai: So mysterious.

Flaked Out: Sorry, sorry.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Speaking of which, where did Pigeon get into?

Flaked Out: Hmph hmph, secret. Anyway, it's no worse than Xiao Yi's.

Human-Dragon Unity: So mysterious. Come on, be good and let me take a look.

Flaked Out: So you're very brave, huh?

Human-Dragon Unity: What are you talking about? I'm super brave, okay?

A Seductress: Then prepare to receive my warm welcome.

Human-Dragon Unity: Lady Xiaohuo, I'm sorry. I spoke a little too loudly just now.

Yan Nuoya secretly glanced at him beside her, focused on typing, and let out a soft "Tch."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Hearing the sound, Mo Xiangwen stopped typing and turned toward her.

"Nothing." Yan Nuoya wore a charming, flawless smile.

"Oh, right. Will someone be picking you up when we get to H City, Nuoya?"

"Nope." Yan Nuoya blinked and teased, "What? Are you inviting me to keep traveling with you?"

"Yeah, of course." Mo Xiangwen nodded without hesitation. "We're classmates, and we came together. There's no way I can leave you alone."

"I... see." Yan Nuoya paused slightly, then smiled and nodded. "Then let's go together."

Nuoya covered her face with her jacket and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Please keep an eye on things for me."

"Okay. Sleep without worry."

After receiving his answer, Nuoya gently closed her eyes. She tried her best to ignore the faint warmth in her ears and instead focused on her breathing.

Perhaps because someone she knew was beside her, she really did fall asleep before long.

With the train's gentle swaying, her light blue tracksuit slowly slipped down to her thighs, revealing the girl's peaceful sleeping face.

The journey from C City to H City was long. They would not arrive until nearly 10 p.m., so it was good for her to get some rest first.

After hesitating briefly, he picked up Nuoya's jacket and covered her white shirt with it.

Probably because of Nuoya's figure, he watched for a while and saw no sign of the jacket slipping down, so he went back to playing on his phone.

Human-Dragon Unity: We'll arrive tonight, but it'll be too late, so we're staying at a hotel for one night. We won't go to school until tomorrow.

A Seductress: ? What school? Come to the high-speed rail station.

Human-Dragon Unity: crazy.jpg

A Seductress: Cowardly lizard!

Human-Dragon Unity: Running away may be shameful, but it works.

Don't Play Holy Slash: It's fine. You can block him at school.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Think about it. During freshman registration these next few days, everyone goes to the small plaza.

A Seductress: That makes so much sense.

Human-Dragon Unity: Big bro, do I have some blood feud with you?

Don't Play Holy Slash: Not really, but doesn't this show how warmly we're welcoming your arrival?

Human-Dragon Unity: Is this right? Is this right?

A Seductress: Right, right.

Human-Dragon Unity: Wrong, wrong.

A Seductress: What are you wearing tomorrow?

Human-Dragon Unity: Hehe.

Don't Play Holy Slash: Tomorrow, look for whoever is all alone and looks like a shut-in. That's probably him.

Human-Dragon Unity: ?

Human-Dragon Unity: What do you mean by that?

Don't Play Holy Slash: Relax. Unless Xiaohuo catches a train overnight tonight, you'll get to school before her anyway.
