Why are you always thinking about dating me?

"That's what cowards are like," Lin An said, bowing his head in apology.

He felt that Luoshui was sparkling right now.

"Tsk, alright, alright, that's enough for now." Luo Shuishui waved at him, Lin An nodded, stared at Luo Shuishui's face for a second with a smile, and then turned back to his own spot to begin his day on campus.

just.

but.

but.

It cannot be.

No, that's not allowed.

No, it can't be.

Lin An didn't expect that... at ten o'clock this morning, the homeroom teacher led a beautiful girl dressed in a moon-white JK uniform into the classroom.

Lin An's eyes widened, while the girl on the podium also searched the classroom intently until she found Lin An. She finally smiled, while Lin An's mind was in turmoil.

The girl on the podium wrote her name on the blackboard at the teacher's request.

Xiao Chacha.

Xiao Chacha is a beautiful girl, nineteen years old this year. Her long hair falls to just below her shoulders and is not tied up. This hairstyle looks gentle and non-aggressive. Her shirt is white and spotless. She is not wearing a tie. Her moon-white plaid skirt falls to her knees, just above them, making her look conservative and pure.

She also wore white knee-high socks, which made her already beautiful legs look even longer and more slender.

She bowed slightly to the audience below the stage, looking like a beautiful Japanese girl who had just descended from the heavens.

The boys in the classroom were buzzing with excitement and joy. After all, who wouldn't want to see another beautiful girl in their class? Maybe this girl was easy to get along with, and they could talk to her more. Maybe someone could even... claim her as their own?

There was only one empty seat in the classroom.

The empty seat was next to Lin An. So the moment Lin An saw her, his face fell, and he cursed inwardly, "What's wrong with Xiao Chacha this time?"

However, at the teacher's request, Xiao Chacha, carrying her books, walked step by step down from the podium and sat down next to Lin An.

Lin An smelled the perfume on Xiao Chacha's body. It was a light and alluring scent, one he had smelled clearly the night before last.

"Damn it."

Lin An muttered something under his breath.

He could sense that many boys in the class were casting envious glances at him, but Lin An only smiled bitterly. Xiao Chacha heard his murmur and responded expressionlessly, "Surprised?"

"Very unexpected."

"Because of a certain boy, I realized my own preferences, so I transferred from the girls' school to a normal school and started a normal high school life. This school is the best high school in the city, so I came here. Su Yuejin's class is full, and I don't want to be in the same class as her, so I chose this class. Of course, as you might think, this is not a coincidence. I came to find you on my own, Lin An."

"Isn't the last sentence the key point?"

"Of course!" Xiao Chacha smiled happily. "So, do you want to add me back on WeChat now?"

"No." Lin An shook his head.

“I’m not in a hurry, Lin An. Anyway, we have plenty of time to play around.”

Lin An looked at her slightly arrogant, or rather, brain-damaged, demeanor and sighed helplessly.

This further solidified his idea that sleeping with Xiao Chacha was indeed a mistake, and this mistake might lead to an even bigger one. Therefore, he had to get rid of Xiao Chacha before the mistake occurred.

For example, assassination.

Of course, it was a joke.

However, Lin An didn't like Xiao Chacha too much, but he didn't want to scold her either, because Xiao Chacha was actually a very good girl. They had spent many interesting times together when playing games in the past, and Xiao Chacha was indeed his friend, but he was afraid of having more contact with her.

Last night, he was swayed by Xiao Chacha's words and almost fell for her tricks. He couldn't let that happen again, so he deleted Xiao Chacha's WeChat account, thinking that this would allow him to escape her.

But this guy... he really is a persistent ghost.

"Look at your gloomy face, is meeting me such a nuisance?" Xiao Chacha's tone seemed to carry a hint of self-pity.

"It's alright," Lin An shook his head.

"Are all men like this? Heartless and ruthless."

"..."

Xiao Chacha was making jokes that weren't very funny, but she seemed quite calm, or rather, somewhat joyful, even though she was also confused about why she was doing it.

"Of course, Lin An, the choice is yours. If you feel that being in the same class as me is troublesome, you can tell me and I will transfer classes," Xiao Chacha suddenly said to him.

Lin An was taken aback. "Why?"

"Because I'm not that interested in you... More than anything, I'd like to sleep with you, but since I can't sleep with you, why should I make you hate me? There's no need."

"If you don't want to sleep with me, I think you can stay wherever you want."

"Then it's settled." Xiao Chacha said, but she wasn't disappointed at all.

She gently swung her legs, moved the stool closer to Lin An, and her slender legs under the table moved closer to him.

"I believe... that distorted love between you and Su Yuejin will eventually lead you astray, so you'll have to find a solution eventually. And I am your alternative to escape your desire for her."

“Of course, we’re using each other, neither of us owes the other anything. Whoever falls for you first, that’s who will say it and end the relationship.” Xiao Chacha tilted her head slightly, her expression proud and bright.

Lin An paused for about two seconds, then nodded, "Okay, then let's agree on this first, we'll do it your way."

Aren't you afraid I'll fall in love with you?

"I can't be so narcissistic forever. It's important to know your own limitations." Lin An smiled gently, and Xiao Chacha hummed softly, seemingly in a good mood.

"It's good to know."

Chapter Sixty-One: Frustration

“There’s one more thing,” Xiao Chacha suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Lin An didn't turn around. He was looking at the thick fog outside the window. Most of the fog had dissipated, but there was still some in the distance. It was a vast expanse of white, which looked quite interesting.

"I'm not desperate for you, so... you'd better seize the opportunity. You're still a pure and innocent girl who's only been used once." Xiao Chacha's pink lips moved slightly as she said something Lin An definitely didn't want to hear.

Of course she knew, but that's what she wanted to say. She said it, but she wouldn't actually do it.

Lin An said "Oh," but he drew out the "Oh," probably to indicate that he understood. It was unclear what he was thinking, but Xiao Chacha's goal had been achieved.

When it comes to love, if you only express your affection for the other person, you've already lost completely. There may be many stories of love at first sight and lifelong commitment, but Xiao Chacha doesn't believe in stories; she prefers to believe what she actually sees.

So-called love is always spent screaming, groaning, laughing, and suffering in those nights.

After all, she is a beautiful girl, and she naturally has the priority to choose a partner. This is an advantage that she can take advantage of. In addition, she firmly, without being narcissistic, believes that she is still very attractive. She can be unrestrained even when she is inexperienced during her first time in bed. Her passionate initiative will also be a catalyst for sweet love.

Do you feel even a little bit uneasy? Lin An.

Xiao Chacha thought this to herself, but she was also telling herself that once she had truly captured Lin An's heart, she would withdraw.

Because she couldn't let herself be trapped here. She didn't want to be that passive girl. In a relationship, she had to take the initiative, and her partner had to be completely obedient to her. That was what she wanted. So when Lin An was captured by her, he lost his original attraction.

That's how it is... right?

Xiao Chacha said this to herself in her heart, but perhaps her own thoughts were a little uncertain.

..............................

In contrast, Lin An didn't feel anything at all about what Xiao Chacha said.

...This girl is overthinking things. Lin An knew what Xiao Chacha was thinking the moment she said those words. This is a very, very classic tactic. If you don't modify it a bit, it's easy to see through at a glance.

But what if it's not a setup? Then Lin An wouldn't feel any burden at all. In fact, he is often a supporter of Xu Qinghuan's selfishness. So what if Xiao Chacha really messes around with other people in the future? He wouldn't feel any psychological burden because he has absolutely no desire for her right now. Besides, he was the one who took this girl's virginity.

Although such an idea may seem shameless, it is a response to Xiao Chacha.

"My friend request has been accepted, take a look." Lin An accepted the WeChat verification and then changed the nickname, adding the character "Xiao" before "Cha Cha".

The Cha Cha in his memory was a cute and mischievous girl when playing games, but she was also very kind to him when chatting, gentle and kind. However, Xiao Cha Cha gave him the feeling of a chaotic and crazy little witch. Lin An could understand these two completely different sides, but in the end, the one he had to face was no longer that Cha Cha, but Xiao Cha Cha.

Xiao Chacha noticed his nickname and paused for a second, but she couldn't immediately understand the meaning of having an extra surname. She just vaguely felt that this was not a simple matter.

But after that, she didn't say anything more, and instead lay down on her desk as if she were sleeping.

Lin An then noticed that her complexion was not so rosy, but slightly pale.

Looking at her like this, and noticing the slight cold sweat on her forehead, Lin An recalled what Xiao Chacha had said the night before last, and whispered in her ear, "Are you on your period?"

Xiao Chacha glared at him but didn't say anything.

Lin An could only shrug helplessly and wait for the class to end. Xiao Chacha's condition shouldn't be that serious, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to handle the conversation so easily.

The class ended, and it was the morning break. Xiao Chacha didn't leave her seat; she was still lying on the desk with her eyes closed. As soon as Lin An left his seat, Xiao Chacha reached out and grabbed his arm.

"How can you smoke at this school?" she asked.

"Fun fact: Quitting smoking can relieve menstrual cramps," Lin An replied softly, shrugging helplessly.

"I'm not going to listen to your nonsense. I'll take you there."

"Use polite language when asking for favors, and it's best to use a coquettish, wagging-tail tone."

Xiao Chacha opened her eyes, looked at Lin An's irritating expression, took a deep breath, and said, "Please, take me somewhere I can smoke, okay?"

"Okay."

Lin An helped her stand up, and then Xiao Chacha followed Lin An towards the rooftop of the teaching building. The door there wasn't always closed; it could be opened, and people often smoked there. Of course, teachers would occasionally go up to catch people, so it wasn't very safe.

But Lin An still took her there. There were already a few people there, probably from the next class, each holding a cigarette, the smoke swirling around them and mingling with the fog in the air.

"Here it is." Lin An turned to leave after saying that, but Xiao Chacha reached out, grabbed his arm, and pressed his head to her ear. Her warm breath fell on Lin An's ear. "Don't go."

"Huh? What else do you need to do?"

“There are a few boys there, and I’ll feel uncomfortable being alone.” She said this, her face slightly pale.

"Isn't it?"

“But it hurts a bit now, and I’m a little more vulnerable.” Xiao Chacha held onto Lin An’s arm. Lin An didn’t really want to stay, but then he thought it didn’t really matter, so he didn’t leave.

Then Xiao Chacha took out a box of grape cream popping boba Eiffel Tower cats from her skirt pocket, took out a Zippo lighter, turned it, lit it, and Lin An stood to the side, looking at the mist in the distance.

Do you want some?

"No, smokers always like to drag others down with them." Lin An shook his head. He had quit smoking a long time ago. He used to smoke without his sister's knowledge, but one day he was discovered and Xu Qinghuan beat and bit him, so Lin An quit.

Lin An sighed softly. Why was she so disobedient? Or did she think that pain didn't matter to her?

"Knowing you'll have menstrual cramps today, you shouldn't wear a short skirt. The autumn weather is quite cold, and the pain will be even worse," Lin An said softly beside her.
