‘What the hell is this? I’m obviously treating her to a meal out of kindness, but why am I being treated like a villain?’
Xia Xu felt amused and helpless when he saw Tang Youxin picking the noodles one by one like a chicken pecking at rice. It was as if she was ‘slacking off’ at doing a job she hated.
However, he also remembered his ‘goal’. While Tang Youxin was eating, he lowered his head and carefully looked at her face.
He had to admit that he was stunned.
She was indeed a peerless beauty. Although her fringe covered most of her face, a small portion of her facial features were still exquisite and beautiful. Her skin was as fair and smooth as a baby’s, with a rosy hint of health.
The most important thing was that Tang Youxin’s appearance was not alluring, glamorous, prominent, or stunningly beautiful. She was like an obedient and weak girl next door, more like a white flower after the rain. She was pure, tender, delicate, and lovable.
Other than her introverted and shut off personality, perhaps the reason why Tang Youxin became a nobody in class was due to her unique appearance.
This appearance was beautiful, but in fact, it was not attractive to an innocent teenager. In fact, with her personality and family background, she would only be ridiculed and bullied.
However, the more mature a person was, the more attractive such an innocent and tender face would be. Her shy, timid appearance and delicate personality would stimulate one’s instinctive desire to protect them.
Especially at this moment, with her either ‘bullied’ or natural watery eyes and wronged expression, the girl’s innocent face suddenly had a subtle charm.
It was a small trace, but it was like the finishing touch. It was pure and lustful, causing the desire to hold her in his palm to protect her and yet couldn’t suppress the tyrannical urge to bully and ravage her.
The tyrannical urge rose and was once again suppressed by the desire to protect. The guilt and self-reproach aroused a stronger desire to protect her. The reverse psychology brought about a tyrannical urge again, repeating over and over again. This stimulated one’s nerves at every moment, causing the affection in one’s heart to continuously rise.
Xia Xu finally understood why the people of ancient times created these sentences to describe women—like raindrops on a pear blossom, cannot help loving her upon seeing her.
Because this was truly simple and honest, there was no better description.
It was no exaggeration to say that there was no need to look at her figure under her school uniform. Just based on her face alone, she was indeed a peerless beauty with a five-star rating.
Moreover, this was purely her bare face. With her family background, it was obviously impossible for her to wear any makeup.
If she put on some light makeup and matched it with appropriate clothes, if her appearance completely matured, the wisp of inner charm under her tender face would become a substantial charm. When she would truly be ‘bullied’, how stunning would that be?
Thump!
The boss of the noodle restaurant served the other bowl of noodles. When he put it down, there was a slight collision sound with the table.
Xia Xu quickly looked away from Tang Youxin’s face. He was worried that if he continued to look, his ‘bullying’ might come true.
Coincidentally, the noodles were already on the table, so he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. It was time for his body to grow. The steamed buns he ate just now were fine as breakfast, but it was not enough for lunch.
Perhaps it was because of someone’s eating habits, Tang Youxin secretly raised her head and glanced at him. Then, her eating speed unknowingly increased, and she finally stopped eating strand by strand.
The two ate their noodles in silence. The few customers in the noodle restaurant also left one after another. For a moment, this small restaurant that was less than twenty square meters seemed a little deserted.
It didn’t take long before Xia Xu finished the bowl of noodles. After seeing that Tang Youxin had only eaten half of it, he didn’t rush her. He just looked around the noodle shop aimlessly.
Just as he was bored, he remembered the special ability he had just obtained. Out of habit, he glanced at the noodle shop owner who was sitting lazily by the stove.
The boss was a middle-aged man with a buzz cut, wearing black shorts and a white shirt. He had a white towel on his shoulder and a cigarette in his mouth.
The character status screen opened as he thought of it.
Name: Xue Mingjie
Lifeform Level: 1
Potential Destiny: [Supporting Character: «Person About to Die»]
A three-star gambling talent, if he really studied this aspect, he might not be the god of gamblers but he would at least be a good gambler, right?
Coupled with the words ‘Live everyday honestly’ in the column, it was quite interesting. The boss might be a person with a story.
Of course, what Xia Xu cared more about was the potential of his destiny.
[Supporting Character: «Person About to Die»]
It was another new plot. There are other stories in this world!
Moreover, the name seemed to be more troublesome than «Hunter». The word “Die” was even written on the title.
Unwilling to give up, he focused his attention on the words «Person About to Die». The result was the same as «Hunter», which showed several lines of question marks instead of a normal summary.
‘Forget it, I’m not a character in this story. I just won’t come in the future.’
Xia Xu shook his head.
He didn’t know the plot. He had no authority, no power, and no money. He was just an ordinary high school student. The only thing he could do was to stay away.
It was good enough to live in this strange world and enjoy his youth once again.
Da! Da! Da!
After a while, the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the tile floor could be heard.
“What do you want to eat today?”
The owner of the noodle shop immediately greeted the customer. Judging from his reaction, it must be a regular customer.
“Noodles with fried bean sauce as usual.”
A familiar-sounding female voice responded to the boss.
Xia Xu and Tang Youxin, who were eating noodles, both paused and looked up at the same time.
She was a woman in her thirties or forties. She was wearing a relatively conservative work outfit, and her face gave off a serious vibe.
Of course, maybe it was because of her identity that gave them this misperception.
Because this woman was their English teacher and head teacher, Liu Xiulan. Her nickname was Yaksha Liu, a well-known figure in the class.
After seeing Liu Xiulan sit down at the table next to her, Tang Youxin almost buried her face into the white porcelain bowl, her entire body curled up.
She was trying her best to hide her presence. She was just short of muttering “you can’t see me”.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as she wished.
“Hello, Ms. Liu.”
The ‘bad guy’ opposite her took the initiative to greet her.
Tang Youxin was embarrassed and angry. She could only greet her in a weak voice. “Hello, Miss.”
“Mmm.”
Liu Xiulan looked at the two of them. After her gaze paused for a moment, she smiled and nodded. She didn’t have the intention to come up and ‘share the table’ or lecture them.
“Huu~”
After Liu Xiulan turned her head away, Tang Youxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She slurped up the remaining noodles in the bowl and when the noodles in the bowl were in her mouth, she didn’t even have time to chew before pulling Xia Xu away with her cheeks puffed up. It was as if she was running away.

“Xia Xu, Tang Youxin, come to my office after your lunch break.”
Just as they were at the shop’s entrance and almost out of danger, Liu Xiulan’s voice sounded behind them.
“Okay…”
“Alright…”
The two responded. Xia Xu wanted to ask something else, but he was dragged by Tang Youxin towards the school gate..
