After this incident, Xiang Xiaoyuan was completely hurt by the creature called "friend".
At that time, her plan was to spend her college years quietly, try to find a high-paying job, pay off her tuition loan, and then save up for a house of her own and bring her grandmother over to live with her.
As for 'making friends' and 'falling in love', she really doesn't need them.
Lin Jiaqiao took the initiative to approach Xiang Xiaoyuan.
'Good Popularity' is still in the detention center, and Xiang Xiaoyuan is really resistant to this kind of friendship that comes to her door.
Her attitude was very cold at first, but Lin Jiaqiao seemed not to notice and kept moving towards her.
It's like a large dog with gentle eyes, lively, talkative, and very cute.
No one really wants to be alone.
Xiang Xiaoyuan decided to give the world another chance. At the same time, she secretly decided that if she was let down again, she would turn evil.
Fortunately, being friends with Lin Jiaqiao is a wonderful thing.
This woman is both worldly-wise and sincere. She seems quite clever, but sometimes she is a little silly, often dragging Xiang Xiaoyuan to do some weird things.
It's the kind of thing that everyone fantasizes about but doesn't dare to do.
Xiang Xiaoyuan was actually a little jealous of Lin Jiaqiao.
Lin Jiaqiao is obviously a child who was spoiled by his parents. They assume that the world is kind, and even the ridicule of others is friendly.
They cry when they are sad and laugh when they are happy, and never hide their emotions.
Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't grow up like this.
In the environment where she grew up, happiness and sadness were not allowed, and any intense emotional expression would be scolded by her parents, who believed that such behavior was "shameful" and would be laughed at by others.
What does it feel like to have a good friend? Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that she was healed.
Lin Jiaqiao encouraged her to skip classes and took her around the city. The two took a bus to the country market, and like two country bumpkins, they screamed at the strange things they had never seen before.
Even the audition for Victoria's Secret was "forced" by Lin Jiaqiao.
Xiang Xiaoyuan knew too well what rumors those people would spread. Although the opportunity was rare, he couldn't help but feel like backing out.
When she hesitated, it was Lin Jiaqiao who stuffed her into a taxi and sent her to the interview location. Lin Jiaqiao said that if people didn't know about Xiaoyuan's beautiful body, it would be a loss in the history of human aesthetics.
In short, because of Lin Jiaqiao, Xiang Xiaoyuan reconciled with the world.
It’s not like no one has tried to sow discord between the two.
Xiang Xiaoyuan once heard someone tell Lin Jiaqiao that Xiang Xiaoyuan deliberately became friends with you in order to use you to highlight her beauty.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't worried, but Xiang Xiaoyuan wasn't as worried as she thought. She didn't know why, but she knew that Lin Jiaqiao would stand by her side.
Sure enough, she heard Lin Jiaqiao say: "You are lying, we are two beautiful girls who appreciate each other, we are beautiful girls around beautiful girls!"
Xiang Xiaoyuan could no longer remember what the gossiper said, but she would always remember the way Lin Jiaqiao said it.
She thought that she would never be able to live such a sunny and open life in her life.
She knew very well that she herself had no warmth. All her warmth was a reflection of Lin Jiaqiao's light.
In the first semester of her sophomore year, she was kicked out of the dormitory by her roommates.
This day actually came much later than she expected. After all, Xu Yalan and her gang had been targeting her since the beginning of school.
She remembered that it was after the third get out of class in the morning. She had just filmed a lipstick commercial a few days ago and the merchant gave her a lot of samples. She took Lin Jiaqiao back to the dormitory and wanted her to take them home for her mother.
Then she saw her suitcase at the door of the dormitory.
Lin Jiaqiao was furious at the time and wanted to go in and argue with her roommate.
Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't know why he was so rational.
She stopped Lin Jiaqiao and comforted her by saying that she often left home early and stayed late for filming, and it was inconvenient to live in the dormitory. On the other hand, she thought, it turns out that my luggage can be packed in one box.
The days with Lin Jiaqiao were so happy that she felt like she had taken root in this city.
Lin Jiaqiao tried hard to invite her to live in his house, but Xiang Xiaoyuan refused after considering it.
It’s not that she wasn’t moved, but she didn’t want to disturb her friend’s life.
She already had some savings at that time, and Lin Jiaqiao sponsored her pocket money for another semester. She stayed in a hotel near the school and was busy looking for a house every day.
But the rent was too expensive and she couldn't afford it herself.
One day, her frequent collaborator took her to the old town to shoot a group of villas that had been in disrepair for a long time.
During the break, a staff member introduced that this was a wealthy area more than ten years ago, but now it is so deserted that even ghosts don't come here.
After the shooting ended that day, Xiang Xiaoyuan sneaked back.
Frankly speaking, it’s really scary here after dark, but compared to having no money, Xiang Xiaoyuan is not afraid of anything.
She strolled around the entire community and set her eyes on a small single-family villa in the central area.
The gate of the villa was not broken and not locked, so she got in easily.
The plants in the yard have grown wildly, with flowers and trees growing everywhere, and the swing frame has also rusted.
She yelled excuse me and went into the house.
This is a three-story villa with a basement and two floors above ground.
The hall has been emptied and all the furniture is unused, with only a few photos on the TV wall.
The photo frame was covered with dust, and one could only vaguely see that the owner of the house was a beautiful lady, holding a lovely child in her arms.
The child was very young, only a few months old, with a pink velvet flower on her bald head. She was a very cute little girl.
After greeting the host, I went to the second floor of Xiaoyuan.
There were quite a few rooms on the second floor, most of which were empty, and she quickly found a bedroom for herself.
That room was originally a bedroom, with its own bathroom and bed.
The bed was made of wooden pallets with a spring mattress on top, and best of all, the room had running water and electricity.
Xiang Xiaoyuan stayed here.
Since the Victoria's Secret mall opened, Xiang Xiaoyuan has had more work to do and also has to go to school. She wishes one day could be like two. She goes out before dawn and comes home very late.
One day, she finished work early and when she returned home, she heard a noise coming from her room.
If it were now, she might not have the courage to go in, but at that time she relied on the pepper spray she brought with her and the self-defense skills she learned from Lin Jiaqiao, so she broke in.
The moment she entered, the bathroom door opened.
It is actually late.
He had just finished taking a shower and walked out naked.
Xiang Xiaoyuan thought she was dazzled, but when she blinked, all she saw was white flesh.
Because they were too surprised, neither of them screamed. The strange atmosphere slowly spread in silence.
Ying Zhiwan was the first to come to his senses and covered his lower body with his hands. Perhaps he felt that this was wrong, so he covered his face again.
Xiang Xiaoyuan couldn't bear it anymore and threw his bath towel over to her: "Put on some clothes."
After all the chaos, it is time to start settling the scores.
It turned out that this was his mother's house, and they moved out after he went to middle school.
After his mother died, this place belonged to him.
If he didn't look so much like his mother, Xiang Xiaoyuan wouldn't have believed that the bald little baby downstairs was him.
Ying Zhiwan grew up here, and this old house sealed his childhood.
He didn't make any changes to the house. He just used it as his secret base and came here whenever he was in a bad mood.
Pointing to the yard, Xiang Xiaoyuan asked in surprise, "Is that maze yours?"
Some time ago, she took some time to prune the plants in the yard. It turned out that the trees growing wildly were a tree maze, and the rose wall was the entrance to the maze.
The maze is not big, only about one and a half meters high. You can see the whole maze from the window of this room.
Xiang Xiaoyuan pointed to the big box in the corner, which contained various stuffed toys and expired snacks.
"I took all of this out of the maze. Oh, and there was a little donkey rocking horse in there, too. I washed it and put it back in there."
She couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a wealthy family. They even built a maze in the yard."
Ever since he was seen naked, Ying Zhiwan's face has been unhappy. He asked coldly, "Did you cut the tree outside?"
Xiang Xiaoyuan felt a little guilty. Although she had no ill intentions, she had touched his things, which were his mother's relics. She explained, "Yes. I, I have lived here for so long, and I want to do something to repay the owner."
"I didn't mean to—"
Before she finished her words, Ying Zhiwan had already moved over and held her under himself.
This is a classic wall-dong pose.
Xiang Xiaoyuan immediately reached into his pocket, trying to take out the pepper spray.
But the pockets are empty.
Only then did she remember that she was so surprised that the pepper spray fell to the ground.
Ying Zhiwan asked coldly: "You want to seduce me, right?"
"You knew I would come here, so you waited for me here on purpose, and then came in while I was taking a shower."
"Next, should you ask me to take charge?"
Xiang Xiaoyuan hadn't removed her makeup yet, and her face looked as beautiful as CG special effects.
Ying Zhiwan lifted her chin, looked at her critically, and asked with a sneer, "Why, do you think I'm a fool you cheated on?"
Xiang Xiaoyuan suddenly realized that this man was in cahoots with Xu Yalan.
He also contributed a lot to my living here.
