"Junior Xia, you don't understand the fun of teasing introverted kids."
"Senior Tia, in love, do you like to take the initiative rather than being passive?" Xia Yushuang was noncommittal about Tia Yufei's view on love: "Always being proactive, doesn't it tire you out?"
"Why would it tire me?" Kristia smiled faintly. "From introverted to extroverted, from 'nothing' to 'something,' isn't there a sense of accomplishment in nurturing this change?"
"Oh, so you like playing the mother role?"
Kristia glanced at Xia Yushuang, not expecting this seemingly aloof junior to be this talkative… Hmm, must be a quiet type with a lot to say.
"And also…" Xia Yushuang continued, "What if, after nurturing someone, they end up running away with someone else? What then?"
Adjusting her glasses, Kristia confidently stated, "That possibility doesn't exist in my case."
Xia Yushuang looked at Su Yuchen across the table. "Junior, I have a question for you."
Su Yuchen lifted his head nervously, quickly glancing at her. "Wh-What?"
"Between me and Senior Tia, who is prettier?" Xia Yushuang asked calmly.
Su Yuchen was stunned, looking at Xia Yushuang and then at Kristia. His hesitation in not immediately responding already spoke volumes about his inner thoughts.
The smile faded from Kristia's face.
He actually hesitated?
He's known me longer, we've been chatting for so long, and I've even teased him verbally… and yet he didn't answer immediately? Does he think Xia Yushuang is prettier than me?
Even if she does look better than me now when I've concealed my true appearance, is this a reason for him to hesitate with someone he's familiar with?
I can't believe it, this junior, the shy and introverted one, has the heart of a 'player'?!
Kristia glared at Su Yuchen, who pretended to look confused, not understanding why she was glaring; hadn't he just not answered yet?
"Junior Yuchen?" Kristia's tone became more serious. "Who is prettier?"
Comparing them now, Xia Yushuang definitely looks better, so Su Yuchen straightforwardly began, "Junior Xia is mo—"
"Hehehe." Kristia chuckled coldly, just about to speak—
Click.
The faint sound got drowned out in the restaurant's noisy ambiance. The next moment, a chandelier from the ceiling crashed down, hitting the table where Su Yuchen was sitting with a loud thud!
Plaster dust and shattered chandelier pieces scattered over the table and chairs, but the three individuals at the table had already moved away in advance.
Amidst the dust that settled over the meal, Su Yuchen seemed contemplative.
Was it because I said Xia Yushuang was prettier, which angered Kristia?
While it could be due to the timing, the greater likelihood was a change in her inner feelings.
So… is my unfortunate constitution also a gauge for someone's affection?
Su Yuchen glanced at Kristia. At that moment, she was in discussion with the restaurant staff who hurried over. True to her past role as vice president of the school student union, she had a commanding presence, leaving the staff apologizing profusely.
Xia Yushuang's expression had softened slightly. To her, the recent unfortunate event didn't really count as unfortunate.
"This 'cute' junior." She glanced at Su Yuchen. "Are you still going to continue eating?"
"I'm almost done."
"So, are you planning to stroll around the school with Senior Tia next?"
"No, I'm going to slip away first."
Initial progress had been made in deciphering this 'misfortune,' and the next step was, of course, to keep Kristia hanging a bit. How could he let her have him so easily? After all, things that come too easily aren't cherished. It's more interesting when the mystery is gradually revealed.
Watching Su Yuchen's departing figure, Xia Yushuang snorted softly. She couldn't understand why he would pretend to be that way in front of Tia Yufei, not a bit handsome!
Kristia, done with the discussion, turned around. "Where's Junior Yuchen?"
"He left."
"Gone?" Kristia chuckled. Was he afraid she'd scold him?
He's really inexperienced, doesn't know how to woo girls; his first reaction is to withdraw and slip away.
"Left so quickly, and I didn't even ask for his contact information." Kristia huffed softly, but it didn't matter. He couldn't escape her grasp, and soon enough, she'd appear before him again.
"Do you care a lot about him, Senior Tia?"
Kristia then shifted her focus onto Xia Yushuang. Her blood must also be very delicious, right?
She hadn't tasted the blood of any pretty girls at the school; it would be troublesome if discovered. However, someone like Xia Yushuang… well, due to the influence Su Yuchen had on her, she had lost interest in pretty girls.
"Because he's very cute," Kristia said with a sly smile. "There's this fluttery feeling, nurturing him into a boyfriend would be amazing."
"I don't think you'll succeed, Senior Tia," Xia Yushuang said calmly. "I suddenly remembered, a few gossiping girls in our class mentioned a freshman named Su Yuchen who doesn't like women, so you might as well give up."
"Is that so?" Kristia blinked her golden eyes.
"They said so."
"Thank you for the reminder, Xia Yushuang. I got it. I'll take off. Bye." Kristia gave her a slight smile and walked past her.
Not liking women was no issue; after all, she wasn't human… Even if he truly didn't like women, she had confidence in making him like her.
No matter the method!
So, Xia Yusang's reminder didn't bother her at all.
"Truly, can't afford to slack off for a moment." Xia Yusang lightly bit her lip, feeling no appetite to continue eating. She quickened her pace, then stopped abruptly.
Hmm?
Suddenly, she realized that she had only agreed not to enter the school gate with Su Yuchen, not to pretend not to know him.
Though 'not entering the school gate together' implied 'pretending not to know each other,' but… she could just play dumb!
It had been ten years. He didn't know her current self, so it wouldn't matter if she acted straightforwardly.
"Mistake, I shouldn't have acted like I didn't know him just now."
Resuming her pace, Xia Yusang headed out of the restaurant. What did it matter if she was recognized by Tia Yufei? After all, she was a graduate student and rarely came to the undergraduate side.
"Next time we meet, I'll make it clear!"
As she exited the restaurant, she couldn't spot Su Yuchen. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to go home for a while. Anyway, it was the second class in the afternoon.
If he enjoys being teased by an older sister figure, can't she do the same?
But she wouldn't use that kind of language. What about changing her attire instead?
Like…
She glanced down at her legs. The effect of wearing stockings should be quite nice, right?
