After being in a daze for a long time, Xia Xi slowly moved his body, thinking about the accident, taking a shower, changing into the clothes he wore when he came, and taking the bus back to school.
In the taxi, she couldn't wait to share this with Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan didn't care how handsome the boy she was talking about was. He was only worried about her physical condition: "Are you okay? Why don't you find a coach to accompany you? My heart is pounding when I think about you saying you almost drowned."
Xia Xi was a little touched: "If I had something to do, I wouldn't be able to message you. The main reason I didn't find a coach is that I think I can swim well and don't need one."
Liang Yuan made sure she was alright, then turned his attention to another important point: "Is that boy really handsome?"
Xia Xi gave an affirmative reply: "Really handsome!"
Liang Yuan hadn't seen anyone, so he couldn't imagine anything. "Are there any photos?"
Xia Xi: "No."
Xia Xi: "I was so confused at the time that I didn't even remember taking pictures."
Liang Yuan: "You didn't ask for contact information or anything."
Speaking of this, Xia Xi was speechless: "I asked for it, but she didn't even listen to my words and turned around and left."
Liang Yuan immediately became angry and spoke up for his best friend: "Damn, is he still a man? He even rejected you? Is there something wrong with his eyes?"
Xia Xi's face was a deadly weapon. Few men could resist it, and even fewer women could. Someone actually rejected her. After Liang Yuan lost his temper, he became even more curious about that person: "How handsome is he?"
Xia Xi held her phone in both hands, resting her chin on it. She recalled the boy's appearance in her mind again. Words were inadequate, and no matter how she described it, it was still inadequate. She finally replied to Liang Yuan, "He was so handsome that it made my heart skip a beat."
Liang Yuan: “???”
Liang Yuan: "This year's shocking news! Xia Xi, the ten-thousand-year-old wooden man, has fallen in love! This is incredible."
Xia Xi didn't reply. She was thinking about whether this could be considered as being moved. After all, she had never liked anyone before, so there was nothing to compare. If she really was moved, it seemed a bit hasty.
Liang Yuan didn't wait for her next move, and he lost his composure and bombarded her with several messages.
Liang Yuan: "No way, sister, are you really in love with me?"
Liang Yuan: "Love at first sight? Can this happen to you? Why do I not believe it?"
Liang Yuan: "Have you heard of the suspension bridge effect? I think you fit that description."
Liang Yuan: "When you're drowning and on the verge of death, your adrenaline surges, and your heartbeat speeds up. You just happened to meet that boy, and you mistakenly mistake this physiological reaction for heartbeat."
Liang Yuan: "I advise you to calm down and not get too involved."
Xia Xi read through her messages one by one, her lips curled up. Besides her sisters, Liang Yuan was the only one who cared about her the most. She replied, "I know," and put away her phone just as the taxi arrived at the school gate.

In the dormitory, three girls woke up. Today is Friday and classes will not officially start until next Monday. Everyone is idle playing games, watching TV series, and browsing messages in various groups. It is so comfortable.
Zhao Lei had just joined a large group for the Department of Architecture, and someone in the group had posted photos of handsome men, including several candid shots of their faces, both frontal and sideways. Zhao Lei admired each one, thinking they were truly treasures, and wanted to share them with her roommates. When she sat up, she saw Wu Qinglu playing games with headphones in her earphones, and Wang Qiuyu on the phone with her family.
Only Xia Xi had nothing to do. She sat on a chair under her bed, her feet on the edge, her skirt slid down to her thighs, revealing her long, dazzlingly white legs. Her long black hair was swept to one side of her neck, and her profile was beautiful and smooth. She was trimming her toenails with nail clippers.
Snap, snap.
Even with this unkempt look, she's still as beautiful as a painting.
Zhao Lei was stunned for a few seconds, forgetting what she was going to say until someone in the group sent a message and heard a "ding dong" sound. Then she remembered, climbed down from the bed, and stepped into her slippers.
"Xia Xi, do you want to look at the handsome guy?"
Zhao Lei excitedly waved her right hand, which was holding the mobile phone.
Xia Xi is not interested in handsome guys. In her opinion, those boys who are called "handsome guys" are generally created by their dressing and atmosphere, and very few of them have truly handsome facial features.
Besides, she had already seen someone who was really handsome today, so she was even less interested in other people.
"Is he from our school?" Xia Xi asked without any interest, without even raising his eyelids.
Zhao Lei was anxious. She pulled her arm and handed the phone to her. "I lied to you, I've been single for ten thousand years. What a handsome guy! I've never seen such a handsome guy in my life!"
Since she said so, Xia Xi decided to give her face. He lazily tilted his head, raised his eyelids, and glanced at her phone screen.
Just with this one glance, her soul disappeared.
Zhao Lei was amused by her silly look, as if she had been acupunctured. It was rare to see Xia Xi look at a man like this: "How is it? Isn't he very handsome? I didn't scare you, did I?"
"Which handsome guy is this? Let me take a look at him." After Wang Qiuyu finished talking to his family on the phone, he heard Zhao Lei's laughter and looked over curiously.
Zhao Lei was about to hand the phone to Wang Qiuyu when Xia Xi stopped her: "Wait, wait..."
She wanted to snatch the phone, but when she reached out her hand, she remembered that she had just touched her feet and had not washed them. She rushed to the bathroom, squeezed two pumps of hand soap to wash her hands, wiped them with a face towel, took Zhao Lei's phone, and enlarged the photo.
The boy sat in the library, reading with his eyes slightly lowered. A thin layer of sunlight slipped in from the side window, hitting his face and dyeing his black hair with a layer of gold, as if a god had descended to earth.
