Her long, smooth, black hair was casually tied into a high ponytail, with a few wisps of hair falling lazily between her eyebrows, seemingly adding a touch of playfulness unintentionally. Her features were delicate, and her almond-shaped eyes were as clear as a mountain spring, always sparkling with liveliness and curiosity.
Her rosy cherry lips always wore a sweet smile, exuding a unique youthful aura.
A genuine, energetic young woman.
"Oh no, did I arrive too early?"
Xie Linlin let out a long sigh, her eyes filled with a hint of tension.
Her arrival was like a whale swallowing its prey, instantly drawing all the attention of the audience. Xie Linlin was already used to this kind of situation.
She has always been very confident in her looks; it would be abnormal if she couldn't attract attention.
However, Xie Linlin was in no mood to care about any of that right now; all she cared about was whether she was late.
"Seriously, my senior. I was planning to meet him at noon and have lunch together, but it's already started..."
Xie Linlin brushed the stray hairs from her forehead and hurriedly walked towards the agreed-upon location.
Fortunately, she had a habit of preparing in advance. This was the first task given to her by that woman named Gemini. Otherwise, she might not have even put on makeup yet at this hour.
"Phew... Keep going, you can do it."
They were not far from the meeting place. Xie Linlin patted her chest and took a few deep breaths to calm her nervousness.
She patted her cheeks, and the next second, her eyes changed from indifference to a watery, shy, and alluring gaze. Any man would think that Xie Linlin liked him if he looked into those eyes.
At the street corner ahead, that familiar figure stood quietly. Xie Linlin walked quickly towards him, smiling happily, "Senior! I'm not late, am I?"
"It's okay, I just arrived too."
Xia Che said calmly, then slowly turned around.
Xie Linlin's smile froze instantly, her mind went blank, and she blurted out incredulously, "Handsome guy, who...who are you? Where's my senior?"
Xia Che seemed to have become a different person. He had abandoned his original all-black outfit and replaced it with a black baseball jacket, paired with dark blue jeans. His hairstyle had also been changed. The eye-catching yellow side bangs were now swept up, fitting Xia Che's face shape and perfectly highlighting his advantages.
If Xia Che was unremarkable before, even a bit sleazy and scary, then Xia Che now can be called a handsome guy.
It's the kind of thing that makes passersby turn around and stare.
A real handsome guy.
"I am Xia Che."
Xia Che smiled faintly, then looked up at the sky with a melancholy expression.
He never expected that his casual tidying up would produce such an unexpected result.
Is it because the original owner had a very good foundation, or...?
Do I actually have a real talent for dressing up?
It's possible that the original owner had some inherent advantages, but it's absolutely impossible that the original owner actually had any.
The reason is then quite obvious...
I may actually have a talent for dressing up.
However, Xia Che was truly melancholy.
I even felt like cursing.
"I never knew I had this talent before! If I had discovered it sooner, would I have been a single dog for so many years? If I had just used even a little bit of it, I would have been out of the single life by now!"
Xia Che sniffed, his expression becoming even more melancholy.
Before his soul transmigrated into this body, he was single.
Even after his soul transmigrated into this world, he was still single.
I wore it for nothing, damn it...
"Senior...?"
Xie Linlin's usually impeccable composure crumbled at this moment. She twitched her lips, struggling to process the shock: "Wow, such a big change, hehe..."
She approached Xia Che for the sake of her mission. In order to complete the mission, Xie Linlin could pretend to like Xia Che. But she never expected that Xia Che would become so handsome after tidying himself up.
This new discovery surprised Xie Linlin, and her opinion of Xia Che quietly changed.
This senior of mine wasn't entirely a slacker; he at least had some real skills...
"Really? To be honest, I think so too."
Xia Che smiled, and then some basic theories about dating that he had learned online before his soul transmigrated into this body surfaced in his mind:
"Don't talk about awkward topics when you meet, like whether you've eaten or are hungry. That's too 'straight man' and should be rejected immediately. When you go on a date with a girl, don't listen to her opinions. Take the initiative and let her accept your arrangements for the date. Don't be like a headless fly and let the girl make all the decisions."
These theories make a lot of sense.
Xia Che had previously struggled to find a chance to put his ideas into practice, but now it was the perfect opportunity. He looked at Xie Linlin and smiled, "Shall we go get something to drink first? I remember a new supermarket opened nearby; we can go check it out."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, senior."
Xie Linlin nodded obediently, somewhat surprised.
Judging from the senior's effortless arrangement, has he really never been in a relationship?
Why does it feel like... something's different from the intelligence?
Xie Linlin didn't show it on her face, obediently following behind Xia Che, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xia Che's back.
She found herself increasingly unable to understand this senior.
"Wait a minute, I'm a little thirsty."
Xie Linlin pulled out a bottle of beverage from behind her back, tried to open it, and when she found that she couldn't open it, she stuck out her tongue and handed the beverage to Xia Che: "Can't open it."
"I'll do it."
Xia Che took it, opened it casually, and handed it back.
However, the way he looked at Xie Linlin was a little strange.
It's said that girls can't open bottle caps, but they can open their boyfriends' skulls.
so……
Was Xie Linlin deliberately feigning weakness in front of me?
Thank you.
Xie Linlin didn't notice Xia Che's strange look. She took a small sip, then her big eyes lit up slightly. She handed the drink to Xia Che again: "This new flavor is pretty good. You should try it."
His words seemed to indicate that he didn't care at all that he had just drunk from the bottle.
They didn't care that this behavior was actually an indirect form of kissing.
Xia Che, who had never been in a relationship, had never witnessed such a scene before.
She froze instantly; if she hadn't been mentally strong enough, she might have blushed by now.
but……
"What the hell are you afraid of? I won't lose face, it's not like we're really going to kiss... wait, even if we were to kiss, I wouldn't be at a disadvantage, okay?"
Xia Che mentally prepared himself almost instantly. Xie Linlin was very beautiful. Even if he kissed such a beautiful high school girl, he wouldn't lose out, right?
"Really? Let me try it."
