  Happy felt incredibly awkward and sad over the day.

  Xu Xin and Xu Yao talked about which items had discounts while they sat beside the table or what clothes as well as makeup products were good. They completely ignored the owner of the apartment while he just ate.

  Happy quietly endured the pain of being ignored while he thought about how he can get the chance to have some alone time with Xu Xin, but it was not easy, considering the girls just kept staying together.

  “Xin.”

  “What?” Xu Xin looked up, and there was still the embarrassment and wariness from when she was ambushed by Happy just now in her eyes.

  “What are Xu Yao’s plans if she wants to play the game?”

  Even though they had a guest room, the bed was not huge. If two people laid on it, it will be very crowded. Meanwhile, Happy really wanted to recommend half of his bed to someone.

  “What do you mean, what plans?” Xu Xin was stunned for a moment and answered without falling for Happy’s trap at all. “Before noon, Young White and Young Black will send a new bed over. I’ve already told Big Brother Silver Wolf, and by then, he will go downstairs to help.”

  Happy looked surprised, and he criticized in his heart. ‘Forget about the fact that Young White and Young Black are involved in this entire nonsense, but why is Silver Wolf getting mixed up in this as well?’

  When she sensed the solemn atmosphere, Xu Yao did not look up in a show of sensibility. She continued to eat her food with her head lowered. The awe-inspiring presence within her as the leader of the disciplinary committee was completely gone from her.

  Happy said nothing. He was thwarted right at the beginning, and he cannot find any way for him to continue attacking. He can only stop Xu Xin from cleaning the table when Xu Yao went to wash the plates and lead her to his bedroom.

  Bang!

  Once he closed the door, Happy pushed Xu Xin against the door, and he looked into her eyes when she widened her own in surprise.

  “You’re doing this intentionally, right?”

  “No.”

  But the girl was really bad at lying. Her plans were revealed with just one sentence from Happy, and panic flashed briefly on her face. “I don’t know what you’re saying.”

  “Everyone in the world knows that you’re my girlfriend, and you brought an outsider to stay with us. Please tell me exactly what you’re thinking about.”

  Xu Xin’s eyes looked everywhere but at him, but soon, under Happy’s burning and serious gaze, she surrendered and said with a red face, “I just don’t want us to progress so quickly.”

  “So you brought a third wheel over? Why don’t you bring all the girls in your dorm over? Why did you bring someone as pretty as you are over? Aren’t you afraid of me finding myself a new sweetheart?”

  “Don’t you hate her?” Xu Xin revealed some of her own cunning at that moment.

  And not only did Happy feel offended, he even sucked in sharp breaths to calm himself down. “Xu Xin, why did you bring her over if you knew I hated her?!”

  Xu Xin then realized that she leaked some information because of a slip of tongue, and she stuck her tongue out in slight fear before she quickly explained. “But Big Sis Yao didn’t do anything wrong. She’s just the president of the disciplinary committee, and I know that all of you boys hate the disciplinary committee. I know that there was animosity between both of you in the beginning, but now, Big Sis Yao is already behaving this way, there’s no reason for you to continue hating her.”

  “So you brought her here because you want her to develop a relationship with me, is that it?” Happy got closer to her and mocked her in anger.

  “Go on ahead.” Xu Xin’s obstinate answer caused Happy to realize, for the first time ever, that this gentle girl had a stubborn side to her that will make her refuse to her own mistakes.

  But Xu Xin turning her head away while arguing with him right now was really cute.

  Warmth filled his heart, and Happy cannot help but hold Xu Xin’s smooth and tender chin so that he can move her head to face him. There was still shyness and panic on her when he moved his head to hers.

  Right when their lips touched, Xu Yao’s voice suddenly rang from outside.

  “Xin, where’s the dishrag, I can’t find it……? Huh? Oh, look, I found it, you absolutely have no need to come out here!” Xu Yao’s second sentence was accompanied by a sudden cry of surprise, and it gave off the feeling that she was trying to save the situation, even though it was already too late. She did, however, sound like she was asking the two people in the bedroom to continue.

  ‘Damn it.’

  Based on Happy’s understanding to Xu Xin, Xu Yao’s act of trying to cover up her accidental act of walking in on them was already enough to destroy the courage Xu Xin just mustered.

  As expected, heat rose on Xu Xin’s face, and she instinctively pushed Happy away so that she can leave.

  But Happy was already determined to use Xu Xin to forget about Xu Yao and chase Xu Yao away from the house and from his heart.

  \r \r \r

  He extended his arm.

  “Ack!” Xu Xin cried out in surprise and fell into Happy’s arms again. Then, before she managed to react to the situation, she was enveloped by warmth.

  “Don’t…… Big Sister Yao is outside.”

  Xu Xin’s lips were covered by Happy’s, and two seconds later, her struggles gradually became greater, but Happy was confident that he can make her give up on all resistance within a short moment of time.

  However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp stab of pain for some reason in his head.

  That sharp pain lasted for only an instant, and it was like a needle had poked into his head. He lost all his strength instantaneously.

  Thud!

  Happy was pushed down on the bed by Xu Xin, and his body let out a dull thud.

  Not only was Happy shocked, even Xu Xin did not expect that she would have so much strength. She looked at Happy strangely and seemed to be wondering whether he did this on purpose.

  But when she saw Happy check his body absent-mindedly with a dumbfounded look, she noticed something strange and odd.

  At that moment, all the blood on Happy’s face seemed to have suddenly disappeared. He was pale and looked horrible, as if he was trying hard to remember something.

  Xu Xin was scared into silence. She was finally able to tell that there was something wrong with Happy.

  “What’s wrong?” When Happy heard this, he looked up, and there was slight confusion in his gaze as he flinched away. There was also a slight hint of shyness that Xu Xin was not certain whether it was truly there.

  That feeling made her remember the scene where Chen Kaixin delivered the umbrella to her under the lecture block one year ago.

  At that time, she met the shy and introverted Chen Kaixin who was new to love, and he was absolutely unlike the current Happy, who was filled with confidence and could control everything in his hands.

  In that moment of dumbfoundedness, Happy said something hesitantly, and it caused Xu Xin to feel incredibly shocked. “Xu Xin, are you alright?”

  Happy moved back a little, as if he felt a little embarrassed about getting close to Xu Xin.

  When she heard how Happy called her as well as his subconscious actions, Xu Xin suddenly felt that the atmosphere between them was completely gone, and it was as if there was a ravine between that she cannot put to words.

  Xu Xin panicked.

  His gaze……

  When a person lied, there were certain parts of the body that will be unable to lie, and it was especially so for the eyes. The eyes will never be able to lie.

  But Happy’s current gaze was truly one stating that they were not close, and he felt too shy to get closer, but there was concern for her in his gaze. However, there was still a sense of distance in his gaze, even though he showed concern for her.

  “Stop fooling around.” Multiple thoughts instantly flitted through Xu Xin’s mind, and her face immediately turned pale. “You’re scaring me.”

  When she grabbed Happy’s hands, she could clearly sense his body shudder.

  It came from the bottom of his heart, and it was a reaction from someone who recoiled from someone else because of fear.

  “Xu Xin, y-you are—I’m not……”

  Happy’s voice, expressions, and gaze made him look like a pure boy who just entered university and who came into close contact with a girl for the first time. He looked incredibly adorable, which meant that his temperament from the Happy just now was like night and day.

  And Xu Xin was absolutely certain that over the past one year, Happy will never play this sort of joke with her. She instantly panicked and thought that she might have caused some frightening consequences to Happy because she used too much strength just now. Her eyes became watery. “Happy, stop fooling around. Please don’t try to scare me.”

  She hugged Happy without caring about anything else.

  Happy was frozen on the spot. He did not seem to know what he was supposed to do with his limbs. He stared at the person in his arms in shock, and when he smelled the sweet scent from this beautiful girl, his body temperature swiftly increased, and his face turned completely red.

  Xu Xin was absolutely terrified.

  She held Happy tightly, worried that he will move away from her when she looked up and look at her with that distant gaze that made her fearful.

  No one knew just how much time passed.

  Then, Xu Xin sensed the muscles of the person in her arms started to relax.

  The cold temperature she felt in Happy’s body also started to return to normal.

  A slightly cold palm caressed her silky hair lovingly. “You fell for it, huh?”

  Happy’s familiar voice rose by her ears, but there was something else in his voice, something that was not usually there.

  Xu Xin looked up hesitantly.

  Happy said nothing, but the smile on his face and the confident gaze made her finally certain that everything just now was indeed an act.

  “You’re horrible.” While Xu Xin wiped away her tears, she bit her bottom lip and punched Happy’s chest, but at that moment, she showed no intention of leaving.

  Happy grabbed Xu Xin’s hand and pressed it against his chest.

  Both were pressed closely to each other. At that moment, it was as if they had fused together.

  Xu Xin’s face was flushed red.

  At that moment, she seemed to have forgotten about Xu Yao, who might possibly be eavesdropping while she washed the dishes and let her thoughts run wild. Xu Xin just felt that there was a gentle atmosphere in the bedroom that caused her ears to burn. Her body also slowly melted.

  “Your heart is beating so quickly”

  Xu Xin subconsciously pressed herself against Happy’s chest, and when she spoke, she found that her voice had become very strange, as if it was a moan that came from the depths of her throat.

  At that moment, everyone who heard it would know that Xu Xin had already prepared herself to be taken.

  But Happy did nothing. He hugged the beauty in his arms tightly, and a hint of pain as well as faint fear flashed briefly in his eyes.

  “Happy?”

  “I’m here.”

  “Do you really hate Big Sis Yao being here?”

  “No, I was joking with you.”

  Happy caressed Xu Xin’s smooth hair as he answered, but he seemed a little listless and lethargic.

  “I thought that you were really angry and wanted to ignore me.”

  “How could I? Was my acting up to standards just now?”

  Happy smiled as he stroked Xu Xin’s head.

  “Hmph! How dare you mention it? If you dare scare me this way again, I’ll really ignore you.” Xu Xin threatened Happy, but she did not feel confident at all. Once she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head, and under Happy’s surprised gaze, she planted a gentle kiss on his lips.

  “Big Sis Yao is around. We can’t……” She did not manage to finish speaking. Xu Xin’s voice had already become as soft as the murmurs of a breeze. Her face also turned red.

  “Alright. She called you just now, yes? Go out. If you stayed here any longer, she’ll misunderstand. I’ll go about with my own matters as well.”

  When he mentioned Xu Yao, a hint of regret flashed in Happy’s eyes. He sucked in a deep breath before he opened his bedroom door with a smile, and he pushed Xu Xin out of the door.

  This time, it was Xu Xin who found the situation slightly strange.

  “Misunderstand?”

  But Happy quickly shut the door, not giving her the chance to speak.

  Xu Yao stuck her head out of the kitchen and sized Xu Xin up and down like a scanner. “Xin, are you alright?”

  Xu Xin still stood outside the bedroom door while still finding the situation strange. “What could have possibly happened?”

  And she immediately understood what Xu Yao meant.

  “He didn’t eat you up?” Xu Yao giggled softly while implying something.

  “Nonsense. Go wash your plates.”

  “I didn’t manage to find the dishrag.” Xu Yao spread her arms.

  “Just now……” Xu Xin instantly had her face turn as red as a tomato.

  *****

  The two girls did not know that Happy was currently talking to his other self behind the door, and by that, he meant the other Chen Kaixin.
