"I'm not trying to get rid of you, it's just that I have other things to do, and... I really don't have any feelings about being in a relationship, I'm sorry."

Xia Che uttered these words with difficulty, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.

It's not that he's so heartless, it's just that...

Before his soul transmigrated into this world, Xia Che had never encountered so many goddess-level girls as he does now.

In Xia Che's world, beautiful girls are even rarer than the sapphire that drove the Xing family crazy.

He had fantasized about this scenario countless times. For example, if a female classmate chatted with him for just a few extra words, Xia Che would feel that she liked him; if he saw a dating video during the holidays, he would fantasize about whether such a scenario would happen to him after school started.

As it turns out, such fantasies usually end with the individual being the clown.

How could a goblin with such a vivid imagination possibly have a good ending? It's all just a trap Goblin Slayer used to lure himself out of his cave.

Therefore, Xia Che, who had been thoroughly beaten down by his experiences in the real world, became particularly down-to-earth after his soul transmigrated into the comic book world.

I never presume to be affectionate.

Xia Che treated all the female characters from the comics he came into contact with as friends, and never had any other thoughts about them.

It's true that Xia Che was terrified of him because of his past experiences...

He was more afraid of becoming the clown than of missing out.

"Is that so?"

Xie Linlin, with her back to the sunlight, tilted her head slightly, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and touched Xia Che's cheek. Xia Che was startled but did not dodge.

"But you're blushing."

"You're lying, senior."

Xie Linlin's eyes seemed to light up as she looked up at Xia Che. Xia Che didn't dare to meet her gaze and subconsciously looked away, muttering, "Nothing, it's just too hot... I got sunburned."

"I see..."

Xie Linlin paused, then, as if she had thought of something, suddenly gave a mischievous smile.

She gestured for Xia Che not to move, then took Xia Che's hand and gently placed it on her face.

"But I didn't get sunburned..."

Xie Linlin's face had turned bright red without her noticing, but even so, she still looked at Xia Che in the eye, saying, "I get very nervous when I'm with someone I like."

boom--

It felt as if a volcano was erupting in Xia Che's heart.

What kind of scene is this?

He had lived for eighteen years and had never seen anything like it!

He was completely stunned by the blow.

Isn't it said that girls are reserved?

Girls who are so direct are terrifying!

Xia Che was completely overwhelmed, feeling as if his mental defenses were made of paper, and Xie Linlin effortlessly broke through his defenses seven times.

How exactly do we prevent this?

"you……"

Xia Che managed to squeeze out a single word, but couldn't utter the rest.

His mind went blank, he couldn't hear anything around him, and all he could hear was his own heart pounding like a drum.

Did I really misunderstand Xie Linlin yesterday?

Is she being too proactive towards me because she really likes me?

Xia Che was a little confused.

"Okay, I know today is the first day of the college league and you'll be very busy, but I won't pressure you."

Xie Linlin released Xia Che's hand, took a few steps back, and smiled lightly, "But in exchange, could you go shopping with me this weekend, senior?"

"...If there's nothing else, you can go."

Xia Che agreed.

"Yay! I'll be looking forward to it from now until the weekend. Senior, you can't stand me up, okay?"

Xie Linlin smiled radiantly, like a child who had received a reward.

"Okay, then I'll head to school now."

Xia Che kept a straight face, not because he was trying to act aloof, but because his mood was too complicated and he didn't know what kind of expression to put on.

I have no experience, I really have no experience.

Having been single since birth for so many years, this was the first time Xia Che had encountered someone who was so direct. He felt that he was already quite good that he hadn't given up immediately.

"good."

Xie Linlin knew when to stop and didn't try to persuade Xia Che to stay any longer, watching him walk towards the school.

Suddenly, she called out to him, "Senior!"

"What's wrong?"

Xia Che stopped.

"I will make you fall in love with me, I promise."

Xie Linlin spoke with great conviction, her expression full of confidence.

Xia Che: ……

He really wanted to ask, was it falling in love or just falling in love?

but……

Dame.

Shut up!

The volcano is about to erupt again!

After saying all that, even Xie Linlin felt a little embarrassed, and like a happy little deer, she turned around and ran away.

"Really...?"

Xia Che let out a long sigh of relief. So this is what it feels like to be liked?

This was indeed the first time he had ever experienced being pursued.

Can……

Why?

Why would Xie Linlin like me?

Ever since his soul transmigrated into this world, Xia Che's mind has been completely focused on the female protagonists of the comics. Although he considers himself to be quite close to the female protagonists and could be considered a good friend, apart from that...

This was the first time someone had ever confessed their feelings to me.

If we disregard the four-colored rose, Xia Che sees it as a remnant of feudalism. He has never truly regarded any of the four-colored roses as his slaves.

In Xia Che's heart, these four women are all his older sisters.

So, Xia Che was completely stunned after receiving a confession from a beautiful junior.

He couldn't think of a reason at all.

The two of them had never been in contact, and they had never seen each other at school. How could he suddenly become so attached to her?
