But Xia Che didn't take it to heart.
He writes novels.
It's all a little strange, more or less.
Especially for authors who update daily, racking their brains every day to come up with new plot ideas while ensuring the plot is engaging, they've lost all their hair.
What novelist doesn't go crazy at some point?
Xia Che understood.
It was only after Xia Che had walked out of the crowd that the author dared to raise her head. Her eyes, like autumn water, stared blankly in the direction where Xia Che had disappeared, the disbelief still intense in them.
"This brat is actually my fan?"
He muttered to himself, "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
...
"Hey, can I have this book?"
Xia Che took the book to the counter and was about to pay when he suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned around and saw a delicate, pretty face leaning out at him with a grin.
"Is it good or not? You decide the price, I'll pay."
The other person's hair length is neither too long nor too short, just outside the range of short hair, but not long hair either.
She dyed her hair a very flattering brown, which seemed to give her an endless vitality. She was the kind of lively person who was very popular during her student days, similar to Chu Yuying.
She is very beautiful, no less so than school beauties like Shen Yanxin and Chu Yuying.
"Who said there aren't enough beautiful women in the world? I feel like I run into beautiful women wherever I go?"
Xia Che touched his nose, his expression somewhat strange.
It's understandable if it happens once or twice, but it's a bit unusual if it happens every time, isn't it?
Why is it always beautiful women who come to me?
Although these beautiful women always seem to bring me some trouble...
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"
The other person stretched out their hand and waved it in front of Xia Che's eyes.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something just now."
Xia Che snapped out of his daze and smiled apologetically: "I'm not selling it. This is a birthday gift I prepared for someone else, so no matter how much you offer, I won't sell it. I'm sorry."
Immediately, Xia Che turned around and handed the book over. After the sales clerk scanned the product code, Xia Che took out his phone to pay, then picked up the paper bag containing the book and turned to leave.
The series of movements were smooth and efficient, as if they didn't want to stay there for even a moment longer.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?"
The girl was stunned and instinctively grabbed Xia Che's sleeve.
This was the first time she had encountered a Sigma man like Xia Che, who seemed to completely ignore her beauty.
She had only asked casually and didn't have high hopes. She thought it would be fine if the other party didn't want to, but she never expected that Xia Che would refuse so decisively.
A long-dormant competitive spirit instantly resurfaced. The girl took two steps in one, blocking Xia Che's path, and put on a pitiful expression: "Please, please, let me have it, okay?"
"not good."
Xia Che frowned. Did this woman not understand Chinese? He had already explained the purpose of the book, yet she still tried to stop him.
He turned around and wanted to walk over from the other side.
"What the heck... he's immune to my cuteness? Is this person even straight?"
The girl was even more frustrated. Based on her previous experiences, no man had ever been able to reject her repeatedly.
This has never happened before.
But today it happened right before my eyes.
While the girl was lost in thought, Xia Che had already walked out without looking back. When she came to her senses, Xia Che was no longer in sight.
"Heh... Interesting, really interesting."
The girl snapped out of her daze, her previous frustration vanished, and a hint of interest flickered in her eyes.
"You are extraordinary, but I'm sorry, I'm not willing to give up what I've set my sights on."
The girl muttered to herself, took a few steps out of the stall, and turned to a deserted alleyway.
In this secluded place, she stretched out her fair palm and silently murmured, "Come out, my darling."
Then, something astonishing happened.
A tiny, purple insect suddenly crawled out of the girl's palm, wriggling around and gulping in fresh air.
"Go, find that person's location."
With a gentle blast of her hand, the little purple insect in her palm was lifted into the air. Its tiny body hovered in mid-air before a pair of transparent wings emerged from its back. After a brief moment of sensing the surroundings, the insect flew swiftly away.
"There... Heh, in China, no one has ever escaped the tracking of the Gu worms. Kid, you are the first interesting person I have met in all these years."
"I'm definitely taking your book."
The girl giggled.
I never expected that sneaking out of Miao territory would lead to such a fun experience.
This is no longer a question of whether or not it's a book; it's an insult to Xia Che's own charm.
We must get our revenge!
"Hmm... He's moving so fast? This speed isn't something an ordinary person could possess. Could he be a master as well?"
The girl raised an eyebrow suddenly, but soon her smile deepened.
The girl rarely encountered anything interesting.
This blond-haired man looks like he's going to be quite interesting.
Following the direction indicated by the Gu worm, the girl skipped and hopped along. It was during this skipping that she discovered a string of silver rings on her ankle. As she moved, the silver rings collided, producing a series of pleasant, crisp sounds.
The sound mingled with the girl's clear, bell-like laughter in the air before dissipating into the sky.
...
The move went very quickly. Yu Shiyue and Chu Yuying genuinely wanted to help, so with their joint efforts, Wen Chenlu's belongings were all moved into her new home and placed neatly.
Although Wen Chenlu hadn't had time to buy furniture due to the tight schedule, her new home, which was quite spacious, was rather quiet with little furniture.
But this is only temporary. As Wen Chenlu continues to live here, she will eventually fill the entire place with furniture.
Living alone in a three-bedroom apartment seems a bit extravagant.
"Sister Xiaoyue, Xia Che really is a rich guy, right? Even his sister is so rich. Wow... living in such a big house all by himself, how comfortable must he be?"
During a break to drink water, Chu Yuying secretly leaned close to Yu Shiyue's ear and said with envy, "I also want to be as successful as Sister Lu. One day I'll buy the house we live in, kick that little blond out, and we'll live together! I'll experience the luxury of a successful person."
"Are you out of your mind? I don't believe you don't know how high the housing prices are here. It costs this much per square meter."
Yu Shiyue held up a paper cup, stretched out her other hand, and made a six-pointing gesture.
Seeing this, Chu Yuying lowered her head in frustration and murmured, "Sigh... well, it really is expensive."
"If making money were as easy as breathing, I could just take a nap and wake up as a millionaire."
