I have a lot of dating skills.

Zhao Weijing stared at him for a long time, pressed her hand to her heart, and said, "Xin Yu, I have something to tell you. I can't live without you. You know, in the few days I didn't see you, I felt like I was dying of anxiety. You've heard of drug addicts, right? That's how I felt."

Xin Yu found it absurd: "Stop joking, okay? We're having a serious discussion right now. I don't understand what kind of mentality you're having when you say these things. Is it funny?"

Zhao Weijing shook her head: "You still don't understand. Do you think I'm the kind of impulsive person? Think about it carefully. Suddenly falling in love with a boy sounds unbelievable."

Logically speaking, this isn't the first time I've known you. Why didn't I have feelings for you before? Why is it only recently?

I feel like there's definitely something wrong with either of us. Maybe I'm sick, or maybe you have some special quality that attracts me.

In short, I will never let you go.

She concluded by announcing this.

Xin Yu felt that she was being unreasonable. The idea of ​​being unable to live without someone or being an addict was completely unscientific and could never happen in reality.

So he frowned: "Are you planning to cling to me?"

Seeing that Zhao Weijing did not deny it, Xin Yu continued, "But being together is a matter between two people. I don't know you at all, and I believe you feel the same way. Is there any affection between us?"

He asked himself in confusion, and then asked her in confusion as well.

Zhao Weijing said, "We can cultivate it slowly. Let's be together first."

Zhao Weijing blushed slightly and said shyly, "...If you agree, um, I can let you touch me. I'm actually quite popular."

Zhao Weijing didn't know why she said that, or even understand where this feeling came from, but she desperately wanted an opportunity to be close to Xin Yu at any time.

Xin Yu frowned even more. Zhao Weijing's answer disappointed him. She did not deny that she did not like him, but at the same time said that she was attracted to his body. In other words, all she wanted was a casual relationship in bed, or to put it bluntly, a casual sex partner.

This contradicted Xin Yu's values. He felt that this wasn't how two people should be together. If you want to get on the bus, you have to buy a ticket first. The girl's suggestion to be friends with benefits first was not normal at all, and even absurd.

Zhao Weijing observed Xin Yu's expression and noticed that he didn't immediately agree. Realizing she had been too hasty, she quickly changed her mind:

"Of course, I'm not that kind of girl. I don't have any experience yet. Although I have feelings for you, I won't let you have your way easily. I just think we can get to know each other and be friends. You can think of it as me pursuing you."

Xin Yu saw right through Zhao Weijing, but not wanting to provoke her, he said, "Okay, it's settled then, friend."

Zhao Wei looked at him and slowly smiled.

Xin Yu, however, was thinking about how to get rid of her. To be honest, he had been tempted for a moment when he saw Zhao Weijing waiting outside for several hours last night, but Zhao Weijing's attitude just now brought him back to reality.

The girl's ideas were too crazy, and coupled with practical factors, Xin Yu didn't think he could go the distance with her, unless he was just playing around.

When they were leaving, Xin Yu disagreed with the two of them walking together, saying it would attract too much attention. Zhao Weijing couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she got into the car by herself in a huff, while Xin Yu walked alone along the road to school.

Thinking back to his promise to Zhao Weijing, he still found it absurd. According to Zhao Weijing, she was infatuated with him and felt comfortable with him, so she asked Xin Yu not to deliberately reject her advances.

Xin Yu didn't want to agree to these conditions; the other party was treating it like a game. But if he didn't agree, Zhao Weijing would cause trouble again. So he decided to keep her calm for now, hoping that she would lose interest in him soon.

The fog was quite thick this morning, much like Xin Yu's mood. He walked through the alleyway from yesterday, this time without the strange girl who had been free from self-restraint.

Xin Yu continued walking forward for a while, but then discovered something strange: a life-sized doll of a girl stood in front of the doll shop ahead.

Xin Yu took a closer look and found that it was a happiness doll. He had learned about this kind of doll online before. It was cheaper than the real thing, full of anime style, cute and practical, and was the ideal companion for many people.

But how could it be left lying around on the street?

Xin Yu looked around, but there was no one there, just like yesterday morning.

He was a little puzzled. Had the people on this street become too lazy lately?

Turning his attention back to the doll, Xin Yu realized it was the first time he had ever seen such a doll in real life, and he couldn't help but observe it with interest.

Like a little girl's doll, it is life-size and has been made cute to look particularly adorable, which fits men's aesthetic standards. It is dressed in a cool and seductive outfit and has a thick and smooth wig.

Fuu-ou is not only a doll but also a toy for men. It is lightweight and does not produce oil, so it has many attractive features, such as its figure, which is top-notch, with straight legs and a large chest.

Xin Yu stared at the doll's chest with great interest, his throat bobbed, and he pointed forward with his finger.

This doll head has holes for the eyes, with the pupils inserted into the holes. Another type is a painted head, where the face is painted on.

With eye openings, the head looks more three-dimensional, the eyes are more expressive, as if they are gently gazing at you, revealing a healing smile.

Xin Yu felt healed, so he reluctantly withdrew his hand and shook hands with the other person instead. He found the hand to be smooth and exceptionally delicate.

Xin Yu was taken aback. As expected of a high-end product, it felt just like touching a girl's hand. He just didn't know if it was realistic enough.

Naturally, Xin Yu had no chance to investigate and quickly left.

This thing is left here unclaimed; its owner probably just brought it over, and he doesn't want to stand there for too long.

As they approached the corner, Xin Yu glanced back at the doll, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Was the doll standing there just now? It seemed to be in a different position.

Without thinking much about it, he turned around.

Just as he turned around, the doll took another step closer to him, and its hands, which had been hanging down, were raised.

Xin Yu was completely unaware.

Chapter Eight: Missing Out on the Master

Upon arriving at the school, just as Xin Yu was about to step through the school gate, he heard a "Ah!" behind him, as if someone had fallen.

Turning around, I saw a pretty girl sitting on the ground, her brows furrowed, looking pitiful. Her knees were scraped and bleeding slightly.

Xin Yu felt pain just looking at her. Seeing that no one was around, he was about to help her up when a middle school-aged girl ran over and helped the fallen girl up.

Seeing this, Xin Yu didn't meddle and turned to walk towards the teaching building.

"……Owner."

The girl stared blankly at his back, raising her hand, but the little girl beside her pressed it down. The little girl cleaned her wound while complaining, "Don't move! Okay, okay, I know you're the master. Honestly, how can you be so clumsy? You're all injured."

The girl watched helplessly as Xin Yu left, her gaze dimming.

Back in class, he ran into Zhao Weijing. The two acted like strangers, but as they brushed past each other, Zhao Weijing's finger inadvertently brushed against his palm.

Xin Yu was taken aback, then calmly walked back to his seat and sat down. He looked up at Zhao Weijing's back and his expression was a little strange.

Zhao Weijing seemed to sense something, turned around and winked at him, then went back to looking at her textbook as if nothing had happened.

Both of their hearts were racing. Doing this in an environment full of classmates had a thrilling, illicit feeling.

A moment later, Zhao Weijing's phone vibrated. She secretly took it out and saw that it was a message from Xin Yu, warning her not to do anything reckless.

Zhao Weijing felt bored and lay on the table, staring blankly. Why was her seat in front of Xin Yu? That way she couldn't see Xin Yu.

What's even more infuriating is that Xin Yu actually refused to talk to her in class, saying he didn't want to affect her studies. This made Zhao Weijing so angry that she started to doubt her own charm.

At noon, when she saw Xin Yu leave the classroom, Zhao Weijing got up and followed him. However, she soon noticed that Xin Yu was walking with some classmates, obviously keeping an eye on her.

Zhao Weijing pursed her lips, then, as if remembering something, excitedly turned and left.

Xin Yu was finally relieved to see that she was no longer following him. He was really worried that Zhao Weijing would be affectionate towards him in front of acquaintances, and that he would be ridiculed when they didn't end up together.

After getting his food, Xin Yu found an empty seat on the second floor. He didn't sit with the other classmates, mainly because the first floor was too noisy, while the second floor was much quieter.

As he was eating, Xin Yu suddenly noticed something was wrong. He looked up in confusion and saw a girl staring intently at him, seemingly mesmerized by his meal.

Realizing she had been noticed, the girl lowered her head slightly, embarrassed.

Am I eating in a funny way?

Xin Yu couldn't help but be suspicious, but he didn't think too much about it and continued to eat.

After eating for a while, Xin Yu noticed that the girl hadn't looked away; she was still secretly observing him, and the food in front of her hadn't been touched at all.

"...Strange." Xin Yu muttered to himself, "Could it be that watching him eat makes me full?"

Although he didn't really care, Xin Yu still felt uncomfortable being watched while eating, so he simply raised his head and glared at the girl.

The girl seemed a little slow to react. She stared at him blankly, blinking her eyes in confusion. It wasn't until a moment later that she realized Xin Yu was angry. A blush appeared on her pretty face, and she lowered her head guiltily.

"Oh, it's her."

Xin Yu was surprised and recognized the other person as the girl who had fallen that morning.

I didn't see it clearly at the time, but now that I look closely, I realize that this girl is absolutely beautiful, in no way inferior to Zhao Weijing. She is light, lovely, and pure, like a blooming gardenia, but she gives people a dull feeling, neither warm nor cold, plain and elegant.

Xin Yu couldn't help but wonder why she was looking at him. His fall that morning had nothing to do with him.

Out of curiosity, Xin Yu began to observe the girl. He pretended to have finished eating, packed his things, and left, and the girl's gaze followed him.

Upon realizing that Xin Yu was about to leave, the girl stood up and followed him without finishing her meal.

Xin Yu was puzzled. What exactly was going on?

Xin Yu suddenly turned around, and the girl looked surprised. Then she accidentally bumped into the dining table in front of her, whimpered, and squatted down.

Xin Yu was speechless; this girl seemed a bit slow.

She wanted to go over and talk to her, to ask her why she was paying attention to her, but the commotion the girl made attracted several girls nearby. They seemed to know the girl and were concerned about her.

"Huo Yingxi, what's wrong?"

"You bumped into it again?"

"This is the third time today, right? Huo Yingxi seems a bit slow today?"

"I think Sisi was just too fascinated by the handsome guy."

"It's probably because of low blood sugar. Here, Yingxi, have a candy."

Remembering this name, Xin Yu left the second floor. He remembered hearing the name Huo Yingxi somewhere before; she seemed to be a popular girl among the boys. He never expected her to be like this in real life.

Huo Yingxi, who was watching, noticed that Xin Yu was missing and looked very sad, but everyone else just thought that she had been hurt too much from the collision.

After school, Xin Yu didn't see Zhao Weijing. As soon as he walked out of the school, he saw a very familiar car and quickly found a place to hide.

From a distance, through the car window, Xin Yu saw Zhao Wei sitting quietly in the car, sulking. The woman driving the car was Zhao Fei, who had proposed to take Xin Yu as her sugar daddy that night.

In front of Zhao Weijing, Zhao Fei was not as gentle as she had been that night. She was elegant and poised, with a noble air about her in every gesture, giving off a strong presence.

The proud Zhao Weijing looked like a chick encountering an eagle in front of her, her face full of dejection but she dared not utter a sound. Xin Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

After picking up Zhao Weijing, Zhao Fei didn't leave in a hurry. Her eyes kept glancing at the people walking out of the school gate. Xin Yu knew she was looking for him, so he dared not go out.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Fei finally left, and Xin Yu then left the school, choosing to explore the alleyways and paths instead of taking the main roads.

Gradually, fewer and fewer pedestrians appeared, and Xin Yu slowed his pace, frowning as he pondered the relationship between Zhao Weijing and Zhao Fei.

Zhao Fei is still so young, she must be Zhao Weijing's older sister, or maybe a cousin or something. I hope they won't talk about me.

Xin Yu felt that the scene must have been a chaotic mess.

As Xin Yu crossed an intersection, he suddenly stopped, turned around in confusion, and then his pupils dilated.
