Chapter 25 They're all adults now.
Sitting in the small garden behind the faculty and staff dormitory, Gu Xixia crossed her legs and watched a video.
Hu Xiaoyu was in the small garden trying to pinpoint the location of the thing, so it wouldn't wander off again later.
Suddenly, a chill ran down Gu Xixia's spine.
She subconsciously looked up in the direction that made her uneasy. An old man with a sinister face and black eyes with black blood flowing from them was standing at the fifth-floor window looking at her.
The hairs on her body stood on end instantly, and she suddenly felt an intense chill, so cold that her body even began to feel hot.
Looking into the old man's dark eyes, this was the first time Gu Xixia had directly faced the oppressive presence of a supernatural being.
In the past, Hu Xiaoyu and her hip-hop style made her forget why the supernatural was feared by the public...
She wanted to turn around and call out to Hu Xiaoyu, but found that her body had become very sluggish because of fear.
Just as Gu Xixia was in a panic, Hu Xiaoyu suddenly stood between her and the old man.
Exhausted, Gu Xixia rested her forehead against Hu Xiaoyu's lower back, cold sweat seeping through her clothes onto his skin.
After the old man left, Hu Xiaoyu turned around and squatted down in front of Gu Xixia, a look of heartache appearing in his eyes.
This guy was more powerful than Hu Xiaoyu had imagined. With his appearance, the atmosphere in the entire faculty dormitory changed abruptly.
Even under the bright sunshine, it still makes people instinctively feel cold.
He picked up Gu Xixia's arm and rubbed it, and her cold body became warm again under the rubbing.
"That's... a ghost?"
"Yes, the stronger kind."
He released her right arm, took her left arm, and then her calves beneath her navy blue trousers.
Gu Xixia took several deep breaths, and with Hu Xiaoyu's rubbing, she finally came back to her senses from that fear.
Watching him calmly massage her body, Gu Xixia felt a sense of realization.
She had long been accustomed to Hu Xiaoyu's presence, so much so that this was the first time she had truly faced the pressure brought by a supernatural being.
The feeling of her heart being gripped and her scalp tingling made her very panicked.
It was at this moment that Gu Xixia truly felt awe for supernatural beings.
"Relax, it's okay, I'm here, it can't do anything directly to you."
With Hu Xiaoyu's words of comfort, Gu Xixia let out a heavy sigh.
"Do ordinary people see you the way I see it?"
"Um..."
Hu Xiaoyu pondered for a while.
"They should be more terrified. Most of the time, the people I prey on are so frightened that they can't move at first."
"Only a small number will struggle or try to escape; most need a buffer and adaptation period before their bodies can react to my presence."
He sat down next to her and gently patted her back.
Gu Xixia blinked, not wanting to waste this hard-won opportunity, and leaned on his shoulder, feigning weakness as she spoke.
"It's terrifying."
"It's definitely scary, but it's a completely different thing from seeing a lion or tiger. The loss of awe for lions and tigers among modern people is all thanks to short videos."
"In ancient times, many people were so frightened by the sight of lions and tigers that their legs went weak."
Gu Xixia took a deep breath.
"I almost thought I was going to die."
"Nonsense, if it could kill you remotely, I'd be running away by now."
"So, you've actually encountered this situation?"
"no."
"..."
"That's precisely why we're running away. Having seen them, I'm not afraid of anything. Let's just do it!"
"You've got guts?"
"If I can still be so lively and energetic after just seeing it, it means it can't do anything to me. That's called confidence."
"Oh..."
"Are you feeling better?"
"I feel much better. I need to change my clothes when I get back."
"Go ahead and change it. It's not bad. You were just sweating; I thought you were going to pee..."
Snapped!
Embarrassed and annoyed, she slapped Hu Xiaoyu on the thigh, and Hu Xiaoyu shut up.
Footsteps suddenly came, and Hu Xiaoyu quickly pushed Gu Xixia's head away.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Xixia frowned as she looked at him, and Hu Xiaoyu poked her head.
"Our public relationship is that of cousins. Among cousins, is there a sister who leans on her brother's shoulder?"
"Then you'll lean on me?"
"Get out of here!"
Seeing Gu Xixia and Hu Xiaoyu bickering, Sister Zhang smiled and greeted them.
Hu Xiaoyu glanced at Sister Zhang and immediately decided to run away.
He's really bad at relationship questions, so it's better to let Gu Xixia make one up herself. Otherwise, if he's caught off guard and can't answer any of the questions when Sister Zhang asks, it would be embarrassing...
Sister Zhang's room was on the third floor. Not long after Gu Xixia sat down in the living room, Sister Zhang poured her a glass of ice water.
"Is it alright?"
"It's alright, it just happened a short while ago."
"That's good. Now, tell me, what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xixia took a sip of water and spoke softly.
"I've realized that he sees me more as a younger sister..."
Upon hearing this, Sister Zhang immediately became interested.
"What do you mean? He's older than you?"
"Yes, I'm a few years older."
These ages, adding two zeros after them would be appropriate.
"That's a bit of a problem. Men are strange creatures. Once he truly sees you as a younger sister or daughter from the bottom of his heart and forms that fixed impression, it's very difficult to break it..."
"I've been having a lot of headaches about this lately."
Seeing Gu Xixia's worried expression, Sister Zhang patted her on the shoulder.
"You're such a pitiful girl, to be honest, I don't quite understand what the person you like is thinking."
"You might not be the most stunning woman in the world, but you're definitely attractive to both men and women. How did you end up with someone like this..."
After saying that, both Sister Zhang and Gu Xixia gave a wry smile.
Looking at Gu Xixia's beautiful figure, Sister Zhang pondered for a moment.
"You really like him?"
"Yes, I like it very much."
As Gu Xixia spoke earnestly in a low voice, Sister Zhang bit her lip.
"Or you could try finding a private setting, dressing provocatively, and ideally, finding a way to get him to drink some alcohol."
"Don't drink too much, or he won't be able to get aroused. And during the process, you can give him some intimate contact as appropriate."
"You must be prepared for anything to happen. You're all adults; there are some things you should understand."
"Um..."
"It doesn't matter if nothing happens, at least it will leave an impression in his mind."
"Besides being a sister, you are also a woman, and a ripe, perfectly ripe woman."
Sister Zhang's confession made Gu Xixia blush slightly.
"But I'm worried it will have the opposite effect and scare him away."
"Sigh... This kind of operation does have these risks, but we have no choice but to do it if we want to change his mind."
"There are gains and losses in everything, and from my perspective, even if he's unmoved by what you've done, Xiaxia..."
"Give up. You'll never be able to sort out your relationship with this kind of man until he comes to his senses on his own."
Downstairs, Hu Xiaoyu kept checking the time on her phone.
More than an hour has passed since Gu Xixia went in, and Hu Xiaoyu is somewhat puzzled.
They've been talking about a fake relationship dispute for so long...
If that were true, wouldn't it take all day to talk about it?!
Wow...Are all women this strong?
