"What kind of thing is this? I was clearly treating you to a meal out of kindness, but why do you make me look like a villain who robbed a woman?"
Seeing Tang Youxin picking up the noodles one by one like a chick pecking at rice, with an unwilling look of "slacking off", Xia Xu found it both funny and helpless.
But at this time he also remembered the "business", and while Tang Youxin was eating, he lowered his head and carefully looked at her face.
Immediately, he had to admit that he was indeed amazed.
She is indeed stunningly beautiful. Although her bangs and temples cover most of her face, her facial features are still delicate and beautiful. Her skin is as smooth and white as a baby's with a healthy rosy complexion.
The most important thing is that Tang Youxin's appearance is not the kind of enchanting beauty that shows presence and makes people stunned at first sight. Instead, she looks like a well-behaved and weak girl next door, or even more like a little white flower after the rain, pure, tender, weak, and pitiable.
Perhaps the reason why Tang Youxin was a nobody in the class before was not only because of her introverted and autistic personality, but also because of her unique appearance and temperament.
This appearance is beautiful, but in fact it is not very attractive to normal and ignorant teenagers. In fact, considering his personality and family background, he will only be ridiculed and bullied.
However, in front of more mature people, this innocent and tender face has more fatal attraction. The shy look and delicate and introverted character stimulate people's instinctive desire to protect.
Especially at this moment, with her watery eyes and aggrieved expression, whether it was because she was 'bullied' or was born that way, a subtle and hidden charm inexplicably emerged from the girl's tender and pure face.
It's a very small trace, but it's like the finishing touch, interweaving simplicity with inner charm, pure and lustful, making the original impulse of just wanting to hold it in the palm of your hand and protect it carefully mixed with a hint of tyranny that wants to bully and ravage it.
The impulse of violence arises but is suppressed by the desire to protect. The guilt of self-blame and remorse arouses a stronger desire to protect. The rebellious psychology once again brings about a wave of violent impulses. This cycle repeats itself, constantly stirring people's nerves and causing their inner feelings of pity to continue to rise.
Only at this moment did Xia Xu understand what "pear blossoms in the rain" meant, what "I feel pity for you" meant, and why the ancients created such sentences to describe women.
Because it is indeed simple and vivid enough, and there is no more appropriate description than this.
It is no exaggeration. You don't need to look at the figure under the bulky school uniform. Just based on this face, the five-star fate of being absolutely stunning is well-deserved.
And this is her natural face without makeup. It is obviously impossible for her to afford makeup given her family background.
If she put on a little bit of makeup, if she wore the right clothes, if her appearance was fully grown, and turned the vague inner charm under her childish face into real charm, and then really "bullied" it, how stunning it would be.
Boom!
The noodle shop owner brought up another bowl of noodles, and when he put it down, it made a slight collision sound against the table.
Xia Xu quickly turned his gaze away from Tang Youxin's face - he was worried that if he continued to look at her, the 'bullying' he had just pretended to do might become a reality.
The noodles had just been served, so he simply picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He was in the period of growing up, and the one and a half steamed buns he had just eaten were fine for breakfast, but not enough for lunch.
Perhaps inspired by someone's untidy eating habits, Tang Youxin secretly looked up and then unconsciously increased her eating speed, and finally stopped eating one by one.
The two of them ate noodles in silence without communicating with each other. The few customers in the noodle shop left one after another. For a moment, this small shop of less than 20 square meters seemed a little deserted.
It didn't take long for Xia Xu to finish the bowl of noodles. Seeing that Tang Youxin had only eaten half of it, he didn't urge her, but just looked around the noodle shop aimlessly.
Bored and thinking about the special abilities he had just acquired, he habitually glanced at the noodle shop owner who was lazily sitting by the stove at the door because there were no customers.
The boss was a middle-aged man with a crew cut, black shorts and a white T-shirt. He had a white towel draped over his shoulders and a cigarette in his mouth.
As soon as he thought about it, the property panel opened.
Name: Xue Mingjie
Life Level: 1
Fate potential: [Supporting role: "The Dying Man"]
Talent potential: Gambling (3 stars)
Special: None
Obsession: Live a down-to-earth life.
Favorability: 2
"My goodness, this boss is probably a very capable person."
Xia Xu's eyelids twitched.
Samsung has a talent for gambling. If he really delved into this area, he would be a good gambler, right
Coupled with the sentence "live a down-to-earth life" in the obsession column, it is indeed a bit intriguing. This boss may be a man with a story.
Of course, what Xia Xu cares more about is obviously the potential of fate.
[Supporting role: "The Dying Man"]
It’s another new plot. There are actually other plots in this world!
And judging from the name, it seems to be even more troublesome than "Hunter", with the word death written in the title.
Reluctantly, he focused his attention on the line of words "The Dying Man", and the result was the same as "Hunter", which showed several rows of question marks instead of an introduction to his fate and potential.
"Forget it. Anyway, I'm not a character in this plot. I won't come here in the future."
Xia Xu shook his head.
I don't know the plot. I have no power, no influence, and no money. As an ordinary high school student, I can't do anything. The only thing I can do is to stay away from it.
It's good enough to be able to survive in this somewhat weird world and enjoy the time of youth.
Da! Da! Da!
After a while, the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the tile floor was heard.
"What do you want to eat today?"
When a customer comes, the noodle shop owner naturally greets him immediately. Judging from his reaction, he must be a regular customer.
"It's still a bowl of noodles with soybean paste."
A familiar female voice responded to the boss.
Xia Xu and Tang Youxin, who was eating noodles, paused and looked up at the same time.
She was a woman in her thirties or forties, wearing conservative work clothes, and her face gave people a sense of seriousness, as if she was "stern-faced", and she seemed a bit intimidating without even getting angry.
Of course, perhaps it was an illusion caused by their identities.
Because this woman is their English teacher and class teacher Liu Xiulan, nicknamed Liu Yasha, and she is a person that everyone in the class is afraid of.
Seeing Liu Xiulan sitting down at a table next to her after ordering, Tang Youxin almost buried her face in the white porcelain bowl of noodles, her whole body curled up.
She was trying hard to reduce her presence, and all she did was mutter "you can't see me" a few times.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.
"Hello, Teacher Liu."
The 'bad guy' on the other side actually spoke up and greeted him carelessly.
Tang Youxin felt embarrassed and angry, so she could only greet him weakly: "Hello, teacher."
"Um."
Liu Xiulan looked at the two of them, and after her gaze rested on them, she paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile, but she had no intention of coming up to "share the table" or preach.
“Huh~”
Only after Liu Xiulan turned her head away did Tang Youxin quietly breathe a sigh of relief and scooped up the remaining noodles in the bowl. When all the noodles in the bowl were in her mouth, she didn't even have time to chew them. She puffed up her cheeks, pulled Xia Xu along and left, feeling as if she was escaping in a panic.
"Xia Xu, Tang Youxin, come to my office during your lunch break."
Just as he reached the cement floor in front of the store and was about to escape from the clutches of the tiger, Liu Xiulan's voice rang out behind him like a cry for his life.
"oh… "
"good… "
The two of them responded. Xia Xu wanted to ask something else, but was dragged towards the school gate by Tang Youxin.
