Lin Chuchu was numb.
I spent the whole day getting ready at home, and then I put my socks on backwards. How embarrassing!
Blushing, she squatted down, using the umbrella to block He Xie's view, and then took off her socks and put them back on inside the umbrella.
Seeing this, He Xie said, "Go inside and change. There's no one in the room."
"Huh? Nobody's here?"
Lin Chuchu was stunned for a moment, then moved the umbrella aside and looked up at He Xie, her expression somewhat disappointed, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I dressed up so innocently all of a sudden."
He Xie was speechless. So you dressed up so innocently because you were planning to meet my parents?
Soon, the two went inside.
Along the way, Lin Chuchu looked around with curiosity.
Ever since she learned last night that He Xie was an orphan, she had been very curious about where He Xie lived.
Seeing the dilapidated state of the interior, he felt a surge of secret joy.
She thought, He Xie's family is so poor, while she happens to be very rich, so she should be very attractive to him, right?
After a short while, he went inside and sat down.
Lin Chuchu handed the things she had brought to He Xie, smiling sweetly, "These are all the delicious things I told you about last night, I brought them all for you."
He Xie: "Did you bring them all?"
Lin Chuchu: "Yes."
He Xie: "Don't your family members need to eat?"
Lin Chuchu: "Didn't you tell me last night to bring you more? Well, I'll bring you all of it then."
Lin Chuchu: "As for my family, it doesn't matter whether my parents eat it or not."
He Xie: "You are so filial."
After saying that, He Xie returned the favor by taking out a Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing Fruit and handing it to Lin Chuchu, saying with a smile, "As a return gift, I'll give you a rare flower and exotic fruit. Eating it can improve your constitution."
Lin Chuchu: "Isn't this an apple?"
He Xie: "It just looks like an apple. You'll know once you eat it."
Lin Chuchu: "Shall we eat now?"
He Xie: "You can eat now if you want, but you have to go into the bathroom and take off all your clothes before you eat."
Lin Chuchu: "???"
[The contrast value from Lin Chuchu is +9271.]
Seeing that Lin Chuchu's face was almost burning red, He Xie quickly spoke up to explain:
"Don't misunderstand, the reason I asked you to go into the bathroom and take off your clothes to eat this fruit is because after eating it, the impurities in your body will be expelled, which may easily soil your clothes."
"Really?" Lin Chuchu asked, still somewhat skeptical.
"Really," He Xie said sincerely.
"I trust you."
After saying that, Lin Chuchu took the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing Fruit and walked towards the bathroom, but she suddenly stopped halfway there, turned around and looked at He Xie, blushing as she said, "You are not allowed to hide outside and peek at me."
He Xie was speechless. What kind of "trust me" was this?
Over the next ten minutes or so, Lin Chuchu's exclamations could be heard from the bathroom every now and then.
Clearly, she was astonished by the process of cleansing her marrow and bones.
"He Xie, do you have a bath towel?"
Lin Chuchu's voice came from the bathroom.
He Xie said, "There are no bath towels at home. If you don't mind, you can make do with my towel. The blue and white one is mine."
Lin Chuchu: "I don't mind!"
He Xie wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Lin Chuchu's voice sounded a little excited just now.
After drying herself off and getting dressed, Lin Chuchu emerged from the bathroom with slightly damp hair.
It looks so beautiful and tempting.
She sat down opposite He Xie, looking both curious and puzzled, and asked, "He Xie, what kind of exotic flower and fruit did you just give me? I've never seen it before."
As the daughter of the owner of the Lin family business, she was well-informed from a young age and had seen or heard of almost all kinds of exotic flowers and fruits.
But she had never heard of that heaven-defying, fate-altering fruit before, and she was deeply shocked.
He Xie smiled and lied, "That's called the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing Fruit. It's a reward that the local education department gave me so that I could stay in Shanhai City to attend university."
After saying that, he added, "I'm only telling you this, so please don't tell anyone else."
Lin Chuchu: "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."
He Xie: "How tight?"
Lin Chuchu: "?"
[The contrast value from Lin Chuchu is +9372.]
Lin Chuchu was speechless. She had already said she would keep her mouth shut and would never tell anyone, so why was she still digging into it? Couldn't she trust her a little more?
But soon, she became somewhat happy again. He Xie only told me this secret. Does this mean that I am very important to him?
Yes, that must be it.
Thinking about it, she smiled and looked at He Xie, asking, "By the way, you accepted the reward from the Education Department. Does that mean you're going to enroll in the Mountain and Sea Evolution University?"
He Xie: "If nothing unexpected happens, that should be correct."
Upon receiving this answer, Lin Chuchu was twice as happy.
A top student like He Xie could get into any of the top three universities in China.
However, for Lin Chuchu, whose biological level is only ordinary fifth rank, the best she can do is get into the Mountain and Sea Evolution University by relying on the local enrollment preferential policies.
He Xie's choice to attend the Mountain and Sea Evolution University means that she can continue to be classmates with He Xie.
"By the way, He Xie, I just saw a lot of women's products in the bathroom. Who else is in your family besides yourself?"
Lin Chuchu suddenly asked this question.
He Xie replied, "I have one adoptive mother, one older sister, and three younger sisters."
Are they all women?
Lin Chuchu felt a surge of crisis and asked, "Is she my biological daughter?"
He Xie: "None of them are my biological children."
Lin Chuchu: "!!!"
Just then, a lovely, cute girl's cheerful shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"Eek!"
"Waaaaah!"
"Waaah!"
Lin Chuchu was immediately drawn out.
When she came out into the yard and saw the twisted tree spirit and the whimpering grass in the corner, she was immediately stunned.
A demonic plant?
My God, am I seeing things? There are actually two demonic plants growing in this yard?
[The contrast value from Lin Chuchu is +8352.]
Upon seeing He Xie beside Lin Chuchu, the Twisted Tree Spirit and the Whispering Grass immediately greeted him respectfully.
Yingying Grass and Twisted Tree Spirit: "Master."
"He...he spoke?!"
Lin Chuchu was shocked again upon hearing this.
A talking, magical plant?
And she even calls her idol "master"?
What exactly is going on?
Is this an orphanage?
Is this not the private garden of some reclusive tycoon?
[The contrast value from Lin Chuchu is +9859.]
Lin Chuchu: "Thank you, what's the deal with these two demonic plants?"
He Xie: "I haven't come up with a suitable reason to lie to you yet. I'll tell you when I have one."
Lin Chuchu: "???"
[The contrast value from Lin Chuchu is +9268.]
"Thank you, may I come over and take a closer look at your two demonic plants?"
As the daughter of a merchant guild owner, Lin Chuchu has been interested in exotic flowers and fruits, rare and exotic animals, and all sorts of strange and unusual plants since she was a child.
He Xie smiled and said, "Of course you can. Go and observe them as you please. They won't attack you."
Upon receiving this answer, Lin Chuchu immediately moved closer without hesitation.
She was very interested in the whimpering grass and bent down to examine it closely.
"Eek!"
Yingyingcao felt uncomfortable being stared at and let out a sound of dissatisfaction.
Lin Chuchu didn't understand what it meant, but she thought it sounded cute, so she couldn't help but reach out and touch the Yingying Grass.
Yingyingcao got angry and cursed in her heart: "You seductive slut, it's one thing to stare at my body, but why did you start hitting me?"
As it grew angry, it suddenly swore, "You son of a bitch, you idiot!"
"???"
Lin Chuchu was completely dumbfounded, wondering why this plant suddenly started cursing.
For the next two hours or so.
With nothing else to do, He Xie took Lin Chuchu for a stroll around the orphanage.
After we finished exploring the house, I took her outside for a walk.
The two talked about everything on the way, but it was mostly Lin Chuchu asking questions and He Xie answering.
The questions asked can be summarized into the following categories.
How did you suddenly become so amazing?
You seem to have changed a lot!
Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?
...and so on.
During this time, the two ran into Zhang Ze.
When Zhang Ze saw how beautiful Lin Chuchu was, he immediately felt incredibly jealous and envious of He Xie.
At the same time, he angrily denounced the injustice of heaven and questioned why all the beautiful women were taken by He Xie, while he couldn't get a single one.
Seeing the look on his face that said "I owe you something," He Xie was speechless. He thought to himself, "Why is this guy so envious and jealous all the time? Is he a lemon spirit?"
Seeing that it was almost time, He Xie ran to Zhang Ze to borrow a small electric scooter, saying he would take Lin Chuchu home.
Zhang Ze initially refused.
But then he thought that Lin Chuchu would be riding on his electric scooter later, so he figured she could at least get a taste of it. So he readily agreed to lend it to He Xie.
On the way home, He Xie bought several pounds of bananas for Lin Chuchu, saying that she could eat them and use them.
Lin Chuchu was overjoyed and said that He Xie was really good to her.
He Xie almost burst out laughing when he heard this.
Bananas are so cheap, it's practically a steal to win over a rich heiress.
After spending more than half an hour dropping Lin Chuchu off at her doorstep, He Xie turned around and left immediately.
Seeing this, Lin Chuchu stopped him and said shyly that she wanted a kiss.
He Xie resolutely refused and sternly reprimanded her, saying that they were still high school students and how could they be thinking about dating?
After saying that, he immediately hopped on his beloved electric scooter and sped off into the distance.
Lin Chuchu behind him stomped her feet in anger.
In the blink of an eye.
And just like that, a beautiful day came to an end.
Next, we will face a week-long practical assessment.
He Xie was filled with anticipation and couldn't wait to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to beat up the ancient alien races, and while devouring and evolving, he would also nurture the Soul-Slaying Blade.
