"Turns out you're into fanged vampires, 'non-human orientation' junior."
The incandescent streetlight cast an ethereal, luminous aura on her ice-blue long hair. The autumn breeze lifted the sky-blue hem of her dress, while her slender legs faintly reflected a crystal-like sheen.
It was the silky reflection of her thin stockings.
The sky-blue straps of her high heels revealed the gracefully curved arches of her feet, and the light highlighted the sheer fabric of the stockings, faintly revealing the pale veins.
"So, you fancy those cold-blooded vampires who suck your blood, M junior?"
"Why repeat similar things differently three times?"
The gaze that skimmed over long legs and lingered on the high-heeled feet was retracted by Su Yuchen, who resumed walking past her: "Heading home."
Her fragrance remained elegant.
The crisp sound of her heels tapping the ground, her skirt swaying lightly—Xia Yushuang matched her steps to Su Yuchen's rhythm. She had originally intended to accompany him home to prevent him from getting involved in anything related to 'vampires sightings.'
The students gradually disappeared from view, and Su Yuchen spoke up, "Do you know, someone spread rumors that I don't like women. It's despicable!"
Xia Yushuang stared at Su Yuchen's back, wondering if this meant he already knew who was behind it.
"Angry?"
"Yes, I must find her and hold her accountable!" Su Yuchen slowed his pace. "Even if she finds me cute, she shouldn't spread rumors like this. Tia, that senior sister, has a really wicked sense of humor!"
The crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground vanished.
Xia Yushuang stared at Su Yuchen's back; what caused him to feel like it was Tia Yufei who did it?
How long has he known her? Why would she specifically do something like this to him?
To prevent him from interacting too much with other women, Xia Yushuang intentionally fabricated this rumor… this plan started last night.
To limit his Involvement with other women, she deliberately requested to run errands, leaving her as the only female student he's familiar with.
Then she created this rumor, making sure that whenever he thinks of women, he'd think of her first. Slowly, he'll realize someone remained right beside him through all the 'misfortune'.
Over time, even if he doesn't actively pursue a relationship, he'll have a 'compensation' mentality through bits and pieces of care.
Finally… the time will come.
But why would he think that Tia Yufei, someone he barely know, would spread such rumors? How could a graduate student be so idle?
"Why are you stopping?" Su Yuchen glanced back.
"Sure it was her?"
"Who else?" Su Yuchen shrugged and resumed walking. "She was the vice president of the student union during her undergraduate years. Surely there are people willing to help her with this little favor."
"Although Senior Tia has a wicked sense of humor, she's quite sensible. She didn't make a big fuss or announce it campus-wide, just keeping this matter within the realm of 'jokes.' She has a good personality, doesn't she?"
'Clearly… these praises should be directed at myself.'
"When I see her again, I'll definitely ask for an explanation."
'Clearly… I didn't want him to interact with other women, yet somehow he's establishing connections with them…'
How did it turn into a case of 'shooting oneself in the foot'?
Resuming their stride, they walked together shoulder to shoulder now that they were out of the campus confines.
Snap!
The abrupt sound of a steel pipe flying out of nowhere and Xia Yushuang effortlessly snapping it into two startled Su Yuchen. Wasn't that too aggressive?
"Are you sure it's Tia Yufei, 'detective' junior?" Xia Yushuang tilted her head, strands of her hair swaying in the evening breeze, the lamplight casting a halo on her fair face.
"Who else could it be? She enjoys teasing me so much… apart from her, who else could be so idle?" Su Yuchen glanced away, smiling and waving dismissively. "Let's not talk about her, she's too twisted."
"Were you waiting for me?" His tone remained unchanged. "Senior Sister Yushuang?"
Xia Yushuang opened her mouth, then emitted a soft sigh, "You have very few virtues. If your brain gets any duller, is there any hope left for you?"
She took a step, "I just had something to discuss with the counselor. I happened to meet you on my way home. For the sake of your younger sister, I'll accompany you on your unfortunate journey home."
Her tone was slightly more cheerful now. Su Yuchen watched her walking ahead, a slightly puzzled expression on his face.
'I didn't expect it to be you.'
'You're reallly quite idle.'
The abrupt halt in her steps made him suspicious, and her cold-faced question confirmed his suspicions.
The real culprit was her!
Sister Xia, when did you become like this?
Watching her hair gently sway, Su Yuchen felt perplexed.
It was a bit strange for him to reunite with her after ten years. Why would his childhood friend, whom he hadn't seen for such a long time, care so much about him?
Preparing breakfast every day, coming back for lunch and dinner when there were no classes, even waking him up…
Emotions that withstand the test of time are rare. What seemingly ordinary events from their childhood together have remained unforgettable for her?
What were the reasons for this 'liking'?
Whoo, whoo, whoo…
The nighttime breeze, carrying a hint of the sea, was a bit cold. The billboard firmly fixed on the lamppost always seemed to fall in a peculiar arc.
Feeling a tug on his wrist, he was already pulled into a slightly chilly but fragrant and soft embrace.
Snap!
Before he could steady his balance, Su Yuchen quickly stopped himself, swiftly reaching out to catch Xia Yushuang as she began to fall backward.
The fabric of her skirt was soft, and through the not-so-thin material, his palm felt the slightly protruding bra clasp.
Her ice-blue long hair shimmered under the moonlight, her delicately beautiful collarbones were faintly visible, eliciting a tantalizing feeling on the tip of one's tongue.
Bang!
The sound of the billboard hitting the ground made Su Yuchen quickly help Xia Yushuang up, taking a small step back while glancing at her right foot.
The heel of her high heels was broken.
The action of standing on tiptoes made the skin-colored stockings at the arch of her foot stretch tightly, unexpectedly emitting a seductive allure.
"Unlucky junior."
Xia Yushuang placed her right hand on his shoulder, tucking her slightly disheveled long hair behind her ear with her left hand. "You almost had an accident without paying attention." With a slightly raised chin, her tone remained as cold as ever. "Can you handle it yourself?"
Su Yuchen blinked.
Senior Sister looked a bit cool.
Not just a bit, but very cool.
'Heartbeat quickening' cool.
Xia Yushuang, with a slightly downward gaze, glanced at him from the corner of her eye.
The advertisement board had resulted from his misfortune, but…
The heel was deliberately broken.
The effect was remarkable.
Also…
He was strong, and his embrace was warm.
