Chapter 11: Midnight Hookup (Part 2)

  Because we're familiar with each other.

  If Ah Ran knew of An's doubts in her heart, she would certainly respond with such certainty.

  Isn't it said that you don't know each other until you fight? She never thought that her bet with An Ran was hostile, at most it was just two martial arts masters making a certain agreement to compete and see who's better. After putting down their swords, they would drink and make merry, heroes admiring heroes, appreciating each other's skills, that's what makes for a legendary tale among great heroes, worthy of being passed down for eternity.

  What's going on here?

  She only likes to entangle with one person, and that is Xia Zhige. If she uses the word "entangle", then his position in her heart is very high. Xiong Anan is depressed by this word, and she also thinks that Xiong Anan doesn't deserve this word.

  She just thinks that although Xiong An'an is a bit proud, he dares to admit defeat and be straightforward, doing things openly and honestly. She dislikes it when people are so direct that they wear their hearts on their sleeves, but this quality makes her like and appreciate him even more - being a person should be about being frank and forthright, she can't stand those hypocritical people who say one thing but mean another.

  "Take it!" An Ran pulled away, she was too close, making him feel a sense of territorial invasion: "Go see for yourself."

  What's this? The warlord took a look and said, "Oh, the student union constitution. Not bad, not bad, this is more straightforward."

  With a smile and a wave of the materials in her hand, "Alright, thanks, I'm off!"

  Everyone watched as Zhan's figure disappeared from view at the door, stunned and disbelieving. Is that it? It just ended like this? Nothing was even accomplished!

  There's no show to watch, so everyone naturally dispersed and left.

  Zhu Ling waited until almost everyone had left before walking up to An Ran, with a bright smile: "Chairman An, nice to see you again!"

  Generally speaking, when a boy is approached by a beautiful girl like this, he should be delighted, but An Gongzi had just been messed with by Zhan Doudou and was feeling depressed, so his mood wasn't very good either.

  "Do you also want a charter?" The tone was slightly impatient and sarcastic.

  Zhu Ling silently cursed Zhang Doudou dozens of times in her heart, but the bright smile on her face remained: "No need, I heard it very clearly just now. Please give me more guidance in the future, Chairman."

  Very thick official tone. An Ran slightly furrowed his brow, the student union is just a small organization that organizes rich and colorful extracurricular activities for students, whether it's the chairman or not, isn't it just a student?

  However, Zhu Ling's smile was charming and her tone had a playful component, which wasn't particularly annoying.

  "Anything else? If not, then go back to class." An Ran treated the beauty with the same courtesy as everyone else, not being moved by her good looks at all.

  Zhu Ling was so angry that her teeth itched, but this master was indeed difficult to serve. However, wasn't this a challenge? "Mm, okay."

  She quietly retreated to one side, lagging behind by about half a body length, and followed him.

  Her height is slender, although the school can't wear high heels, but four or five centimeters of height, Lu Feng won't pursue her. An Ran's figure is tall and sturdy, with a sunny appearance and a bit of unprovoked majesty, the two people together are simply a dazzling pair.

  A match made in heaven!

  He wasn't used to being followed so closely by a girl, but she didn't make any other moves either, and he couldn't bring himself to react. It wasn't until they left the teaching building and went their separate ways back to High School 1 and 3 that this uncomfortable feeling dissipated.

  Due to the military training, this week's video chat didn't work out. This afternoon, the first-year high school students' self-study can be exempted as a rest, and Zhang Liangliang solemnly asked Xia Zhi for compensation in an email yesterday, but I don't know how Xia Zhi replied.

  Go back and take another look, anyway, I don't have too much hope. War fought early and sent Xia Liqiu back home, and then killed a few rounds of chess with Old Man Xia, until he was chased by the old man's scolding voice, only then did he return home with satisfaction.

  9 o'clock, turn on the computer, as expected, today is Monday, not Xia Zhi's fixed day to reply to emails.

  Suddenly felt a bit downhearted.

  I heard many long-distance lovers ultimately can't overcome the hurdle of distance. Is it also true for her and Xia Zhi's older brother?

  Although Xia's brother used to reject her, at least she could see his smile and feel his pampering, so she would have endless motivation. But now, one or two emails a week... it's not enough.

  Hanging QQ, opening email, staring blankly at the computer screen, leaning against the cheek.

  She really misses Xia Zhi Gege. She misses Xia Zhi Gege's warm and gentle face, she misses Xia Zhi Gege's soft and warm smile, she misses Xia Zhi Gege's pampering when he strokes her short hair, she misses Xia Zhi Gege always looking at her with that helpless yet loving gaze...

  She even started to miss Xia Fei Han. Missing the way he always frowned when she annoyed him, missing his cold and poisonous verbal sparring, missing their clean and handsome fistfights - of course, she only missed him because he looked so much like her brother Xia Zhi Ge.

  Ding dong, QQ online reminder. Zhan Zhan was startled awake, her hand shrinking back, and her chin almost hit the desk. She had only set up online reminders for three people, the three siblings of the Xia family.

  Could it be that Xia Zhige has arrived? Warmed up little face was delighted, hastily opened the door, but then pulled a stinky face again, however her spirit had unconsciously become excited - it was Xia Feihan.

  How did he get online? Hehe, thought he could escape her notice? Actually, she had secretly set his QQ to be invisible to everyone except her a long time ago.

  The bandit smiled slyly and flexed his wrist, a small scheme emerging in his mind.

  She quickly reapplied for a QQ number and changed her name to Pretty Girl, but then thought it wasn't quite right, so she changed it to Lonely Girl. She still felt like something was missing, but with her IQ, she couldn't think of anything better, so she just settled on that.

  Changed the name and modified the registered address to the same city as Xia Feihan.

  Then she entered Xia Feihan's QQ number in the search for good friends, and typed "Are you lonely as a stranger in a foreign land?" in the verification message.

  Haha... The depressed mood of Zhan Yu just now was swept away, Xia Fei Han's teasing before going abroad, the battles of wits and words these days, she didn't forget any of it.

  Xia Fei Han, who was on the other end of the computer, instinctively wanted to ignore it when he received the verification from his good friend, but when he saw Zhan Zhu Zhu, who was also invisible and visible in the friends list, his action slowed down a bit.

  He set it to disallow conditional searches and can only search by exact number.

  Which stranger could have guessed his number so accurately?

  Simple technique, tracking QQ number IP address, really, exactly the same as Zhan's.

  Little sample... Xia Fei Han's mouth corners lightly hooked up.

  He hesitated for a moment, then chose to agree and add as a friend.

  Although Zhan Liuli was eagerly looking forward to Xia Feichan passing the verification, so that she could tease him properly, but when she saw that Xia Feichan had indeed passed her friend request and added her as a friend, Zhan Liuli suddenly felt a little angry for no reason - Humph, dead face paralysis, usually pretending to be aloof and proud, now showing his true colors? Hmph, must have seen the lonely girl's heart fluttering, right? Spit! Despicable scumbag!

  "Hey, handsome, good evening!"

  Still good evening? Xia Fei Han rolled her eyes, please, if you want to flirt, at least show some professionalism, okay? There's a 11-hour time difference! It's morning here, broad daylight.

  "Hello." Xia Fei Han's smile was prompt and charming, but looking at the two words "beautiful woman", somehow felt not quite right, still couldn't help but delete the beautiful woman, leaving only the two words "hello" to send over.

  Just thinking about the war-torn face in front of me, it's really hard to utter the word "beauty" that has been popularized.

  "Long night, sleepless, is one person lonely?" The war drums beat fast, and the heartbeat also accelerates with anticipation, waiting for Xia Fei's response.

  "It's okay." The opposite side replied with two answers that made the war-torn heart still feel at ease.

  "Do you need me to accompany you?" War fought back with a flirtatious glance, and still felt it wasn't enough, so he Baidu searched for a photo of an unfamiliar beauty and sent it to him.

  Xia Fei Han looked at the photo in the dialogue box and thought to herself, "How dare she put gold on her own face?" She didn't even have a tenth of the beauty in the photo: "Your photo?"

  "Hmm." Waruwaru replied without hesitation, she firmly believed that one day she would grow up to be a great beauty, after all her father was heroic and her mother was elegant, her older brother and sister were now both outstanding, it didn't make sense for there to be a genetic mutation in herself, it must just be because she hadn't grown up yet: "How is it, pretty or not, like it or not?"

  This question is quite in line with her speaking style. Xia Feihan took a look at the class schedule - forget it, it's not an important class, just read books in the room: "It's okay."

  Pfft! You're so good-looking, are you okay? With such high demands, be careful or you'll end up being single for the rest of your life! Warmed up by his own words, he spat twice at the screen and continued: "So, can we chat now?"

  "Uh, is it paid?" Xia Fei's hand paused, then typed these four words on the screen.

  Pffft! Warlord almost spat out a mouthful of blood and died! The whole heart felt like it was being pinched, unbearably painful. What does Xia Buzi mean by this? Who does he think he is? …No, no, now who he thinks he is isn't the most important thing, the key is, what does he want to do by asking this?

  He won't be thinking of doing it online and then...

  He suddenly went crazy. What a despicable idea! How could Xia Fei Han be such a person! It's really disappointing to know people but not their hearts.

  Why does she feel so heartbroken and want to rush over and beat Xia Fei Han violently?

  This was originally her intended purpose, wanting to secretly tease Xia Fei Han, why did Xia Fei Han really do it, and she was extremely unhappy?

  Calm down, calm down, and see what he really wants to do... Warily taking a deep breath, calming down the emotions, still holding onto a little bit of remaining hope: "Oh my, you're talking nonsense, they're just feeling lonely, casually chatting, talking about feelings, saying some loving words..."

  "Good."

  You're something else! You're a scoundrel! I really underestimated you! Pighead! Big pervert! ...In an instant, countless curses burst out, as if they wanted to reach into the screen and drag Xia Feihan out. How can this be?! How could he do this?!

  "Shall we stop talking about love?" The other party saw that Zhan Yu had been silent for a while and took the initiative to say a sentence.

  Shut up! You're talking nonsense! The war is now a live volcano, full of anger with nowhere to vent. No wonder, humph, Xia Fei Han this exhibitionist! It turns out that his thoughts are so evil! If I had known earlier, at the time of "a blow to the head", she should have castrated him!

  Let him get his mind twisted! Let him have evil thoughts...... She completely forgot that it was she who first set the trap to make others become evil.

  "Ah, what's the fun in talking about love? Let's just video call!" Zhan Zhu Zhu suppressed her emotions and decided to let Xia Fei Han see her true self. She thought about how Xia Fei Han would react when he saw that the beauty was actually him, and only then did she feel a little relieved.

  From now on, I will mock him for this thing for the rest of his life!

  "How was your day?"

  Two words of thunder, blasting the war into tender inside and crispy outside.

  The expectation of venting one's anger was not fulfilled, and instead got angry again to the point of fuming.

  It's not summer yet! You shameless scoundrel! Do you have any bottom line? How can you...how can you be like this...

  Her heart was a mess, she didn't know what to do, and the pent-up emotions had nowhere to vent, her nose suddenly turned sour, and she burst into tears.

  How can this be... How can this be... Tears blurred my eyes as I stared at the screen, feeling so uncomfortable and distressed. My mind kept thinking of all the moments I spent with Xia Fei Han, how could he not be that kind of person?!

  ...He had also kissed her, hugged her, and there was this even more intimate contact between them......Was all of this just because he was that kind of person by nature?

  Unacceptable.

  With tears in her eyes, she saw another sentence popping up on the screen: "I'll send you a photo first?"

  What's going on? Naked photos? Always putting on a straight face and looking so dignified, now you're being so proactive and eager?

  Who wants to see you, who wants to see you... It's better not to see you for the rest of your life... Zhan Zhu Zhu wanted to click on that fork, but her tears blurred her vision and she missed it.

  At this time, the other party has already sent over the photos.

  She subconsciously closed her eyes, afraid of the scene she imagined. If Xia Fei Han really dared to send that disgusting photo, she would never forgive him for her whole life and must draw a clear line with him!

  Zhan Zhan slightly opened her eyes, and the picture didn't show that kind of large-scale flesh-colored scene. On the contrary, the person in it was still quite neatly dressed... Zhan Zhan slowly opened her eyes, why did she feel like this photo was so familiar?

  Is this Xia Fei's room? The motorcycle model on the table is too familiar. The person sleeping on the table... is it myself?

  Good heavens!

  She roughly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, clearing her vision. As expected, the profile in the photo wasn't someone she could see every day by looking into the mirror? Even if only half of her face was exposed, even if her face was a bit distorted because it was resting on a book, it couldn't change her own familiarity with herself - oh my god, she was still drooling!

  When was this photo taken? Looking at the books on the table, it should be that summer vacation before Xia Fei Han helped himself review. He actually took a sneak shot of himself? How despicable.

  Wait wait wait... Isn't he a fruit seller? Why is he sending his own photos?

  "Do you like it? Do you want more?" Xia Feihan said after sending over another photo.

  Still sleeping in the car, still sleeping. No need to analyze the environment and background, just look at the two small turtles on my face, I know when this was painted.

  It's not cold in summer!

  Zhan's anger flared up again, but this time it was different from before. The previous anger had sadness and disappointment in it, whereas now it was full of fighting spirit.

  This dead face! Is he intentionally teasing himself? When did he realize that the lonely girl was his own?

  Xia Nian slowly flipped through the stack of photos in the folder, stopping at one particular photo, his eyes unwittingly softening. In the photo, Zhan Doudou was sleeping soundly with her head tilted to one side, leaning against Xia Nian's shoulder, leaving behind this sole selfie of the two of them together.

  His expression was a bit stiff, a bit tense, and a little, tiny bit of happiness.

  She was sleeping in the morning glow, the sun's rays were cold and red, dyeing her face a deep crimson. He used his phone to record her from different angles, and also quickly drew two small turtles on her face - this was not only out of instinctual fondness for teasing her, but also to shift her attention.

  He was afraid that when he woke up, she would ask him why he had come for her; because he couldn't answer.

  Finally, he carefully approached him and took this photo together.

  No reason, just want to do so...

  The photo was sent over, and Xia Fei expected that Jiang Yuyan would be frantically angry on the other side of the screen. In her heart, Xia Fei felt a little bit of joy. Want to tease her? Her IQ really needs to be developed.

  Just as I was about to type out a mocking message, Warlord suddenly went online for real, and a video chat request came through.

  Xia Fei subconsciously glanced at the door behind her, only to remember that Xia Zhi was not at home. She let out a light sigh, and surprisingly felt a bit tense in her heart. She adjusted her expression to make herself look as usual, before clicking accept.

  The window jumped, the screen flashed, and in the dim light, a slightly backlit silhouette appeared.

  It's been a long time since I saw her, and it seems like she's gotten darker... Xia Fei Han had a slightly vicious thought. He lazily put on his headphones, and the loud shouting came out of the speakers, almost scaring him:

  "Are you kidding me, you pig-headed fool! You shameless, despicable, and filthy person! You're a scoundrel without any moral integrity! Your views on life, values, and the world are all shattered like broken glass! How dare you..."

  She came up with a barrage of scolding, leaving Xia Fei Han momentarily speechless. This... this is too unjust! He wasn't that kind of person to begin with! Didn't she start it first?

  He just followed her train of thought and cooperated with her, then, based on the principle of fighting more fiercely and unscrupulously than her, he deliberately teased her. He hasn't even said that her thoughts are unhealthy and she's always thinking about this kind of twisted idea.

  Just as she was about to retort, Xia Fei suddenly paused, her rapid tone unable to conceal the unfamiliar choking sob in her voice. Her subconscious action of wiping her eyes with the back of her hand also didn't escape his notice.

  Xia Fei Han's expression suddenly turned cold, and he subconsciously straightened his body, staring intently at the screen:

  "Are you crying?"

  Digression

  Our family's DouDou is crying, what a serious matter... Can you feel why DouDou is crying? What will our Leng Xiaoge do about it? Leave a message! Vote! Flowers! Diamonds! A big sack of fans is waiting!

  Besides, today is the day our family has been waiting for to bring home the baby. Has the little one obediently followed the schedule and arrived on time? Hehe, wishing the baby good health and a speedy recovery for mom, here's a gift for the baby!
