Xia Yu didn’t know that his wish to taste the jade rice balls made by Yan Baiyu’s own hands was about to come true. At this moment, he was still drinking juice.
Although he didn’t know anyone at the banquet, he wasn’t lonely. As the second-place winner of the District Middle School Music Competition, having participated in global performances and having once played the guzheng duet “White Horse in the Rain” with the guzheng star Liu Manman, he had already become somewhat of a celebrity.
Moreover, he was both talented and good-looking.
The girls who had come with their parents quickly recognized him and gathered around, chatting with him.
The bored Xia Yu, in an elegant manner, activated his mental healing skill, intentionally engaging and guiding the conversation, getting along very well with the girls.
His elegance enhanced his physical charm, while his mental healing allowed him to analyze their psychology, saying things that made them feel comfortable and subtly steering the conversation.
Suddenly, Xia Yu had the idea that he could lure all these girls to his house and form a secret organization.
He hadn’t expected that the combination of elegance and mental healing would have such an effect. He had only tried it on a whim.
He had drawn the attention of all the girls—and even some young married women—causing some discontent among the men.
However, as cultured individuals, they couldn’t do much. Sarcastic remarks would be impolite and would only damage their own reputation.
Until suddenly, a girl grabbed Xia Yu’s hand.
“Who are you!” the other girls glared at this unexpected intruder.
“I’m his fiancée, and I’m pregnant with his child,” the girl replied, causing the other girls to freeze. By the time they regained their senses, she had already pulled Xia Yu out of the hall and into the backyard.
Xia Yu frowned, looking at the girl who was impersonating An Siyao.
The girl’s appearance was ordinary, perhaps at the level of an average goddess, slightly inferior to Liu Manman and comparable to Duan Yi.
“Who are you?” Xia Yu asked.
“My name is Le Miaomiao, and I’m Yan Wei’s best friend,” the girl smiled brightly at Xia Yu. “It must have been annoying being surrounded by those girls, right? You don’t need to thank me.”
No, I didn’t find it annoying at all. I was testing my skills.
Xia Yu didn’t say this out loud. Instead, he said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
With that, he turned and walked back in the direction he had come.
Le Miaomiao quickly blocked his path, her bright smile still on her face.
She had been curious about Xia Yu, whom Yan Wei often mentioned, wanting to see what kind of person could make Yan Wei so smitten.
When Yan Wei managed to meet him, she immediately came to investigate.
His appearance and demeanor were quite good, but the way he flirted with a group of girls at the party gave her a bad impression.
He could flirt with so many women at someone else’s banquet—what would he be like on his own turf?
Combined with Xia Yu’s smooth talk, Le Miaomiao became even more convinced that Xia Yu was a playboy.
Yan Wei must have been deceived!
She thought to herself that she must expose Xia Yu’s true nature and help Yan Wei let go of her obsession.
However, to expose something, one must first understand it. Therefore, she decided to get to know Xia Yu first.
It was difficult for her to approach him with so many girls around him, so she pulled him aside.
She hadn’t expected that the Xia Yu who was so flirtatious with a group of girls in the hall would be so indifferent when alone with her.
Does this guy not like being alone with a girl?
Or is he only superficially flirtatious and actually a decent person?
Le Miaomiao couldn’t draw a conclusion, but she felt she could test him.
“Can I add your QQ number?” Le Miaomiao asked Xia Yu.
Once she had his QQ number, she could contact him later.
Xia Yu hesitated for a moment. From Le Miaomiao, his psychic senses detected neither good intentions nor malice. However, due to her previous actions, Xia Yu’s impression of her was not good.
He preferred honest women who didn’t cause trouble for others. Only Kong Hanyue was an exception because she was his mother.
Even Xu Youxiang, who had a bad temper, never threw tantrums when others were around. But Le Miaomiao had brazenly impersonated An Siyao and spread rumors about being pregnant. Although most people could tell these were lies, there were always some “innocent” people who believed them.
So, he took out his phone and gave Le Miaomiao Yan Li’s QQ number.
Le Miaomiao excitedly sent a friend request.
Xia Yu then messaged Yan Li, telling her that her sister’s friend wanted to add her.
Yan Li, puzzled, accepted Le Miaomiao’s request.
Successfully getting rid of Le Miaomiao, Xia Yu turned and left, returning to the hall.
Due to Le Miaomiao’s earlier words, the number of girls coming to talk to him had halved. The remaining girls were those who knew Le Miaomiao and recognized her lie.
Meanwhile, Le Miaomiao looked at the newly added account’s profile picture on her phone.
It was an image of a pink magic wand.
This guy looked like a typical straight guy, but inside he was actually so flamboyant?
She then looked at the account’s profile.
It stated that the user was thirteen years old and female.
He even pretended to be a woman?
And even a Lolita?
Le Miaomiao felt something was off. She suspected she might have added the wrong person and decided to send a message to test, writing:
Hey, do you still remember my name?
Receiving the message, Yan Li scratched her head, trying to recall the name of her sister’s friend. Unable to remember, she scrolled through her chat history with Yan Wei and found the nickname Yan Wei used for her best friend.
Miaomiao, she replied.
Since Yan Wei used the nickname, Yan Li didn’t know Le Miaomiao’s actual surname. However, Yan Li didn’t mind; it was normal for girls to use nicknames with each other.
But Le Miaomiao thought the account belonged to Xia Yu.
She huffed.
He called her Miaomiao upon meeting—surely not a good person! He must have been in a hurry to leave to avoid being discovered!
She decided to test “Xia Yu” further.
She pulled out a photo of herself wearing a shoulder-baring dress from her phone and sent it to “Xia Yu.”
Are my shoulders a bit tanned? Sigh, the downside of wearing a dress is this.
In reality, she was using the photo to tempt “Xia Yu” with her shoulders.
Looking at the message from Le Miaomiao on her phone, Yan Li was very confused. She chose a simple reply:
Apply some sunscreen.
Opposite her, Le Miaomiao huffed again. She replied: You want to say you’ll apply it for me?
Yan Li blinked innocently, not understanding Le Miaomiao’s meaning, and could only reply normally: Sure.
Le Miaomiao was extremely surprised that “Xia Yu” was so straightforward.
A moment later, she became very happy. Since “Xia Yu” was so easily hooked, she should take this opportunity to capture “Xia Yu’s” true face and show it to Yan Wei, making her completely give up!
She sent a message:
I’m in the last room on the right after turning at the second floor. Come with sunscreen in ten minutes. I’ll also help you apply it all over!
Seeing the message, Yan Li became even more confused.
She replied with a simple “Okay” and went to find her sister Yan Wei. Although she didn’t understand the meaning, she instinctively felt something was off.
Meanwhile, seeing “Xia Yu” reply with “Okay,” Le Miaomiao marveled at “Xia Yu’s” boldness while heading to her room on the second floor. She took out her camera, preparing to capture Xia Yu’s disgraceful appearance and show it to Yan Wei.
Five minutes later, someone knocked on her door. Opening it, she saw Yan Wei, accompanied by her younger sister.
