Chapter 7

Although he did not know what Chu Xia was trying to do, Su Yang did not plan on finding out. Everyone had their own secrets anyway.
Besides, he always believed in the saying ‘femme fatale’. The more beautiful a woman was, the more dangerous she would be, and given Chu Xia’s looks, she might be able to bring down the whole city.
Therefore, it was better to stay away from her.
With that in mind, carrying the bag over his shoulder, Su Yang walked across the convenience store entrance without a second thought and headed into his neighborhood.
‘Those who are curious can go find out themselves. I don’t have any and I’m a man with principles.’
3However, right after he made the turn onto the street, a beep came into his mind.
It was a new Random Mission!
She pouted and gave him a soft punch. The punch was only stronger than an itch and was quite comfortable.
Chu Xia then looked further away and said softly, “That’s why I came all the way here to buy stuff. I never thought I’d run into you here.”
“I live nearby,” he said.
She adjusted her sitting posture. Her slender long legs were straight and beautiful. This girl had a pair of legs that all women would be envious of.
6“Because of the trauma, I cannot accept others criticizing my maths. Whenever I hear people criticizing my counting, I easily get angry. That is why the hardest subject for me during high school was Maths and I only got 140 points.”
Su Yang moved his gaze away from her legs. “I thought you were cheating.”
Chu Xia glared sharply at him. “Are you trying to be funny? Why do you keep teasing me!?”
He was playfully chuckling behind his hand, and soon Chu Xia was infected too. She giggled before she sighed, “When I chose the course for tertiary education, I picked Chinese Literature because this course has nothing to do with Maths. I’ve really had it with those numbers!”
1He moved his hand away from his mouth and looked at her in astonishment. “Me too!”
Chu Xia blinked at him. “You hate Maths too?”
Su Yang shook his head. “Nope, but I hate English and picked Chinese Literature because I want to escape from English.”
Chu Xia blinked blankly and said, “But…our course has English as a major.”
3Su Yang facepalmed himself. “Forget it about it. It’s all blood, sweat, and tears.”
As her eyes curled up into crescent moons, she covered her mouth in laughter.
Because of Su Yang’s jokes, she obviously felt better. The two of them chatted for a while longer, and after Su Yang promised to keep it a secret, Chu Xia took her items and headed back to campus.
Su Yang had a heavy feeling as he watched her skip away.
‘This girl hasn’t paid me back the money…’
