Chapter 4 The Urban Legend
Lin Xiaoyi was in a very bad mood now.
Not only was the other party occupying her seat, but the other party also didn't look her in the eyes in the whole process. Obviously, the other party was still stalking her yesterday...
Most of the girls have a strange mentality. They would be upset when people pester them, but when people completely ignore them, she would be even more annoyed in her heart.
...probably so.
Anyway, Lin Xiaoyi adjusted her mentality very quickly. The unpleasantness in her heart was soon left behind by her. After all, if the other party no longer harassed her, it was a good thing.
"But that guy really doesn't have any gentlemanly manners... eh? Who is calling me... Xiao Wen?"
After taking out her phone and glancing at the screen, Lin Xiaoyi looked strangely at Xia Wen, who was separated by a table from her.
Although she couldn't see clearly through that scumbag's back, she could vaguely see that her foodie bestie didn't pick up her phone at all while she was eating.
"She might have left her phone in the dormitory, and it's probably her roommate... That foodie..."
Lin Xiaoyi pouted, and didn't think much about it. She pressed the answer button, and in an instant, a very resentful voice came from the phone.
"Xiaoyi, didn't you say you want to wait for me to have lunch together? Where are you? Don't tell me that you have left me here alone cold-heartedly."
"...Xiao Wen!?"
Hearing the familiar voice coming from the phone, Lin Xiaoyi suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Of course it's me, who else can it be?"
Xia Wen's voice over the phone was full of resentment.
"Obviously, we had agreed to go to the cafeteria to eat together. But when I came back from the bathroom, you already ran away. As compensation, you have to treat me to a big meal to soothe my wounded heart."
"...I, I'm here on the second floor of the cafeteria. Come here first. When you come, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Standing on tiptoe to look over the scumbag's shoulder and finding out that Xia Wen, who was immersed in eating and was not on the phone at all, Lin Xiaoyi took a deep breath, barely calmed herself down, and replied to Xia Wen over the phone.
"Eh? But the cafeteria is very crowded at this time. The delicious food is probably already sold out. I don't want to go. How about you bring some back to me?"
Listening to the response from the other side, Lin Xiaoyi could imagine that the other party should be lying on the table pouting her mouth. This was the other party's habitual action when she wanted to be lazy.
——So she has always been very curious, why the other party is so lazy and can eat so much, but her body is still so slim.
"No, you can't eat junk food for lunch. If you come here now, I'll treat you to hot pot on weekends."
Slowly sitting down on the chair, Lin Xiaoyi tried her best to control the calmness in her words.
Is the Xia Wen over the phone real, or is this Xia Wen who came to the cafeteria with her for real? As long as the two Xia Wen appeared in the same place, then everything would be clear.
But if two Xia Wen really appeared in front of her...
Although it was summer, Lin Xiaoyi felt a chill to the bones.
"I hope it's a prank..."
After getting the reluctant affirmative reply from the other party, Lin Xiaoyi put down the phone. Only then did Lin Xiaoyi realize that her hands were shaking slightly. Looking at the delicious food in front of her, she didn't have the slightest appetite.
Pretending to be calm and putting the phone back in her pocket, Lin Xiaoyi quietly raised her head and looked forward, but just such a glance made her whole body cold.
——Unknowingly, Xia Wen raised her eyes to look at her, and the eyes of the two people just happened to meet in mid-air.
She wanted to raise her hand to say hello to the other party pretending to be calm, but the corner of the other party's mouth suddenly curled up slowly, and the curve was getting bigger and bigger, revealing a mouth of jagged white teeth... Those were definitely not the teeth that humans should have, and were more suitable for beasts.
Just when the fear in Lin Xiaoyi's heart was about to reach a critical point, a suddenly raised hand blocked the other party's line of sight that was looking at her. Without the other party's gaze, Lin Xiaoyi collapsed immediately, finally regaining control of her body.
Looking at the figure in front of her who was blocking all the sight of the other party for her, a trace of fear rose from her heart.
From the teaching building to the cafeteria… How exactly did she manage to stay with a monster for so long? If it wasn't for Bai Zhi who suddenly blocked the monster's sight for her...
Wait... he...
As if she suddenly realized something, looking at the figure in front of her that gave her an endless sense of security, Lin Xiaoyi suddenly froze there.
Although she didn't know much about Bai Zhi, the suitor who had been stalking her, she also heard some rumors about the other party from other people.
The other party was an out-and-out scumbag. Before pursuing her, he made seven girlfriends in a row, and he was addicted to games, always arriving late to the classes and leaving the classes early. It could be said that he was completely useless apart from having a good-looking face.
——This is her entire impression of the other party.
Afterwards, the other party's shameless pursuit of her also confirmed this, so she has always had a very bad impression of the other party.
But if Bai Zhi hadn't blocked her sight just now, then her fate would definitely not be much better. Thinking about the other party's previous actions, there were also many suspicions. He who had been stalking her in the past not only didn't even look at her directly today, but quickly took her place after she left her seat... Compared with his performance in the past, his behavior today was very strange.
Just imagine, if the other party didn't show up... What would happen to her?
After all the possibilities have been removed, no matter how unreasonable the last remaining possibility is, it is also the truth.
So, in fact, Bai Zhi already knew that "Xia Wen" was actually a weird monster? All his previous performances were just a disguise? He was protecting her before, and his true identity was actually to deal with this kind of monster...
Lin Xiaoyi's heart was pounding, and she was suddenly surprised by the bold assumption in her heart.
