This year’s Spring Festival fell in February, and Nanjing University’s winter break started in mid-January.

While all the surrounding students had left campus, Xia Xia stayed behind, sleeping in the dormitory at night and working part-time jobs during the day. The jobs were arranged by Sister Yan – sometimes handing out flyers, sometimes doing promotions, sometimes working as a hostess at opening ceremonies. Though the work was trivial, the pay was quite good.

Sister Yan was very fond of Xia Xia. She had many jobs at her disposal and would always call Xia Xia first to ask if she wanted to work before finding someone else.

Now that university students were on break, Sister Yan had many jobs with no one to do them. Xia Xia picked several well-paying ones and found herself busy from dawn to dusk.

At dusk.

After finishing her promotion work at the supermarket, Xia Xia grabbed a quick bite at a nearby fast-food restaurant and then went to browse the underground passage next door.

The underground passage wasn’t long, narrow, and cramped.

The passage was divided into many shops by cloth curtains, selling clothes and shoes, mostly cheap items costing just a few dozen yuan.

Xia Xia was looking at a cotton jacket with fluorescent pink outer material. The stitching wasn’t done well, with many loose threads showing. Neither the style nor quality could be considered good. The shop owner had been trying to move it for a while and wasn’t asking much for it.

She tried it on in front of the mirror. With her looks and figure, she could barely pull off the jacket’s tackiness, but only barely.

Xia Xia was satisfied and bargained with the owner, talking down the fifty-yuan jacket to thirty-five yuan.

She bought some other things from the shop, and as she was leaving, she bumped right into Xie Huai.

Xie Huai hadn’t left campus either. He had no business to handle now, spending his days running around the city and disappearing, doing who knows what.

He had just come from somewhere else and was passing through the underground passage when he happened to run into Xia Xia.

“Just bought some local specialties for my mom,” Xie Huai waved the bag in his hand. “My train’s tomorrow morning. Why haven’t you gone home yet? Have you packed everything?”

Xie Huai’s family was from Zhang City, right next to Chang City. When he was taking his final exams, he had already arranged to go home together with Xia Xia.

Xia Xia said, “I’ve packed everything, but I can’t leave yet. I have to hand out flyers tonight.”

Xie Huai checked his watch. “This late? What flyers? Tell Sister Yan you’re going home tomorrow morning, so you can’t work today.”

“I can’t do that,” Xia Xia said softly. “Sister Yan usually takes good care of me. She only asked me to help because she’s really busy tonight.”

Xie Huai said, “Then I’ll go with you. I’m free now.”

A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Xia Xia’s lips, but she said, “That’s too much trouble for you.”

Xie Huai said, “What could be more trouble than you calling Brother Huai for help when you run into bad guys walking back to school alone at night?”

He looked at Xia Xia. “…Is that your new jacket?”

Xia Xia: “…”

She had forgotten she was still wearing the fluorescent pink jacket and quickly took it off. “…I bought this for my mom, she likes this color.”

“The pants too?” Xie Huai looked at the black skinny leather pants in her bag and said flatly, “Your mom’s quite fashionable.”

Xie Huai had no patience for handing out flyers. After helping Xia Xia distribute one stack, he sat on a bench by the road to keep Jun Jun company.

Sister Yan was divorced and raised her child alone.

Jun Jun didn’t like watching TV at home and would come out to play with her when bored. He didn’t cause any trouble, just quietly sitting to the side reading books and doing homework.

Jun Jun and Xie Huai were like two children, chasing and playing around the bustling square. When Xie Huai caught Jun Jun, he grabbed him under the arms and spun him around in circles. Jun Jun laughed so hard he could barely breathe. After putting him down, Xie Huai took him to KFC to buy ice cream cones.

Xia Xia sat resting on a stone bench by the road.

She took off her shoes – the soles of her feet were red, and her heels were rubbed raw.

Jun Jun came running over like a little whirlwind with two ice cream cones, handing one to her: “Brother Xie Huai bought it.”

Xia Xia took the ice cream cone. Xie Huai strolled over unhurriedly behind Jun Jun, cream smeared around the corners of his mouth.

He asked, “Your feet are hurt?”

Xia Xia nodded pitifully: “It hurts.”

Xie Huai said, “Serves you right. I told you not to come but you insisted.”

Xia Xia: “?”

Xie Huai finished his ice cream in a few bites and went to the pharmacy nearby to buy some Band-Aids: “Where does it hurt?”

Xia Xia pointed to her heel. Xie Huai peeled open a Band-Aid and bent down to put it on for her.

He was calm and focused, his falling bangs covering his eyes, only the warm light in his pupils visible.

Xia Xia hadn’t thought anything of it at first, but when Xie Huai’s hand moved and touched her foot, it tickled.

She couldn’t help but pull her foot back slightly, and when she looked up, her eyes met Xie Huai’s.

Xie Huai was touching her foot.

Xia Xia’s nose twitched as she sniffed carefully, worried her feet might smell.

Jun Jun beside them laughed mischievously: “Sister Xia Xia, Brother Xie Huai just told me he likes you!”

Xia Xia’s heart skipped half a beat.

She turned to look at Xie Huai. His expression was calm as he grabbed Jun Jun and tickled him: “When did I say that? I don’t remember saying anything like that.”

Xia Xia’s skipping heart returned to normal. She poked Jun Jun’s soft cheeks: “Don’t make things up. Brother Xie Huai is fierce, be careful he’ll hit you.”

Jun Jun ran off.

Xie Huai took the flyers: “You rest. I’ll help you hand out the rest.”

Xia Xia mulled over what Jun Jun had said. Though she knew it was just a child’s joke, she couldn’t help asking Xie Huai: “Brother Huai, why are you so nice to me?”

She was somewhat puzzled: “By rights, though we’ve known each other for a long time, I’ve only caused you trouble before. So many girls at school like you, but you don’t seem to have any feelings for them.”

Xie Huai: “I want little brothers, not girlfriends. Plenty of people are interested in me, does that mean I have to like them all?”

Xia Xia asked again: “Then why did you insist on making me your little brother?”

Xie Huai frowned in thought.

Xia Xia looked at him expectantly.

Xie Huai was indeed too good to her. Perhaps it didn’t mean much to him, but no one else had ever treated her this way. Xia Xia wasn’t sure what about her was worth Xie Huai treating her like this. Since Xie Huai wouldn’t say, she constantly felt like there was a stone pressing on her heart, suspended in mid-air, about to fall.

Xia Xia worried that one day she would lose whatever qualities Xie Huai liked about her, and then he would take on other little brothers, making her dispensable.

“You are indeed different from others,” Xie Huai concluded.

Hearing these words from him, Xia Xia’s heart skipped again.

This is bad, she thought. Xie Huai seemed to have some special power – her heart always tended to skip beats when she was near him.

This won’t do, she thought again. If it keeps stopping like this, what if one day it won’t start beating again?

Xie Huai: “You’re poorer than others.”

He said flatly: “I can’t take on little brothers who are more capable than me. Remember how you looked on your first day of school? You couldn’t even afford bedding without buying on credit. At that time, I felt a kindred spirit with you.”

“It wasn’t until you fainted from hunger and ended up in the school infirmary that I confirmed this feeling of kinship wasn’t wrong.”

“Looking across all of Nanjing University, probably only you are poorer than me. If I didn’t keep you by my side as my little brother to comfort myself, how could I live happily?”

Xia Xia: “…”

Her stopped heart suddenly started beating wildly with anger at Xie Huai’s words.

Seeing she hadn’t spoken for a while, Xie Huai asked: “Are you angry?”

Xia Xia didn’t make a sound.

He smiled: “I’m just teasing you.”

“You follow me around calling me Brother Huai all day, of course I have to look after you.”

Xia Xia said quietly: “I’m not the only one who calls you Brother Huai.”

“You were the first,” Xie Huai said. “Before, no one dared to call me brother. They all called me Young Master.”

Night had fallen deep, the sky covered in countless stars.

Xie Huai helped Xia Xia put her shoes back on: “Besides, you’re obedient. Brother Huai likes obedient ones.”

“Yuan Tai is obedient too, do you like Yuan Tai?”

Xia Xia was persistent and stubborn tonight. She wanted to hear Xie Huai say something about how she was different from others.

“He’s different from you,” Xie Huai asked, “Have you read martial arts novels? Many supreme masters only take one closed-door disciple in their lifetime, and Brother Huai will only take one closed-door little brother in his lifetime. You are my closed-door little brother, Yuan Tai is at most an outer-door little brother. He can’t compare to you.”

“Closed door little brother,” Xia Xia muttered under her breath. “More like closing the door on the dog.”

Xie Huai pinched her face: “What are you jealous about?”

Xia Xia’s thoughts were exposed, and she quickly said: “I’m not jealous.”

Xie Huai stared at her steadily, just smiling without speaking.

Xia Xia touched her heel.

Xie Huai’s Band-Aid covered her broken skin, making it painless to walk in shoes.

Xia Xia lowered her head, her voice soft: “What if I wasn’t so obedient?”

She looked up again, her clear eyes seriously watching Xie Huai: “If I wasn’t as obedient as you imagine, would you be angry?”

“Haven’t you been disobedient plenty of times already?”

Xia Xia’s voice got lower: “What if I become even more disobedient?”

Xie Huai asked: “How disobedient? Tell me, and I’ll decide whether to be angry or not.”

Xia Xia fell silent. The ice cream in her hand had melted, dripping down the cone to her hand.

She took a lick and said, swaying her head: “Never mind, I was just saying ‘what if.'”

When Xia Xia came downstairs pulling her suitcase, Xie Huai was already waiting below.

Passing the first floor, she checked herself in the mirror by the wall.

The train from Nancheng to Chang City would take two days, and this was the first time she’d spent so long with Xie Huai. She had deliberately dressed up when she got up early.

This semester she had saved some money from her part-time jobs and bought herself several new clothes.

The girl in the mirror wore a beige knit sweater with a light gray coat over it, simple jeans, and white sneakers. Though they were just affordable brands for students, they looked fresh and clean on her, making her appear neat.

To catch the early train, she had gone to bed early last night. Today her skin had a pink glow, and she looked particularly healthy.

Xia Xia was very satisfied.

Xie Huai stood under the winter cherry tree in front of the building. This year Nancheng had severe cold, and the cherry blossoms hadn’t bloomed.

He wore a black coat with the light brown scarf Xia Xia had knitted for him around his neck. He only had a small suitcase and carried a bag of snacks for the train ride.

Seeing Xia Xia come out, he helped her carry her suitcase down the steps.

The dawn sky was tinged with a light red edge, and the morning air was moist, feeling fresh in the lungs.

Not far away, a flatbed truck drove onto Spring He Road. Workers were unloading cargo, piling up tents and boards in the space behind the road, setting up some unknown structure.

Xia Xia’s face was full of smiles like a child on Children’s Day.

She looked at Xie Huai, her eyes bright and sparkling: “Let’s go.”

At the train station.

With ten minutes until departure, Xie Huai stubbornly held his ticket up to the light, carefully checking it for the ninth time.

Xia Xia nervously suggested: “…Maybe we should refund the tickets and buy new ones?”

Xie Huai turned to look at her: “Do you know how long the train takes from Nancheng to Chang City?”

“Forty-eight hours,” Xia Xia answered honestly.

“Forty-eight hours,” Xie Huai repeated. “So you bought me a standing ticket?”

Xie Huai had asked Xia Xia earlier to buy him a ticket when she bought hers, so they could sit together. After the train reached Chang City, he would take a bus back to Zhang City.

He hadn’t given Xia Xia many details because he thought any normal person with a brain would choose a sleeper ticket for a forty-eight-hour journey.

But Xia Xia wasn’t ordinary.

When she first came to university, she had traveled thousands of miles alone in a hard seat. A hard sleeper cost five hundred yuan, while a hard seat with a student discount was just over a hundred yuan. For her, a sleeper wasn’t even an option. And when she was buying tickets this time, something went wrong somewhere, resulting in her getting a hard seat and Xie Huai getting a standing ticket.

“It’s Spring Festival travel season. If we refund now, do you think we can get new tickets?”

The green train in front of them was so long its ends couldn’t be seen. There were only five minutes until departure.

Xia Xia reminded him: “Brother Huai if we’re getting on, we need to hurry. If we board late with standing tickets, there won’t even be space to stand.”

Xie Huai: “…”

“My fault,” he said. “It’s been so long since I’ve had bad luck, I forgot you’re naturally unlucky for me.”

He carried both their suitcases onto the train, found Xia Xia’s seat, and stored the luggage in the overhead rack.

Xia Xia didn’t sit. She stood beside Xie Huai: “I bought the wrong tickets, you take the seat.”

After storing the luggage, Xie Huai turned and pushed her into the seat.

Xia Xia tried to stand up, but Xie Huai’s hand pressed on her shoulder, preventing her from moving.

Xia Xia: “I’m serious, I’ll feel guilty otherwise.”

Xie Huai: “Letting a young girl stand would make me feel guilty too. Better you feel guilty than me.”

Xia Xia: “…”

No matter how warm and touching the words, coming from Xie Huai’s mouth, they always sounded completely unromantic.

“Tell me when you’re tired, and I’ll switch with you.”

Xie Huai made a sound of agreement.

With a week until New Year, it was peak travel season for migrant workers returning home. The train was so packed there wasn’t a single spare seat, and the aisles were full of standing passengers.

Xie Huai didn’t go anywhere, just stood beside Xia Xia watching movies on his phone.

The train had been running for a whole day, and every time Xia Xia offered to switch, he firmly pushed her back down.

He got so used to pushing her down that several times when Xia Xia needed to use the bathroom, he was wearing earphones and didn’t hear her, automatically pushing her back down when she stood up, and continuing to push when she tried again.

Xia Xia got annoyed and pulled out his earphones: “I need to use the bathroom.”

Xie Huai made an “oh” sound and let her go. When she returned, the seat was empty, and Xie Huai was still standing there, not having moved a step.

Xia Xia felt frustrated, not knowing how to make Xie Huai sit.

She knew Xie Huai wasn’t tired, he just didn’t want her to stand. The aisle was too crowded, with many people moving back and forth. When people passed, bodies pressed together without any gap, and some male passengers were particularly inconsiderate, deliberately brushing against young, pretty girls when they saw them. In such an environment, the girls who were bumped against couldn’t say anything.

Xie Huai never intended to switch seats with her.

In the evening, when the attendant came around to sell meals, Xie Huai bought two boxed meals and shared them with Xia Xia.

He had been standing all day and his legs were numb, so he found a newspaper to sit on the floor and rest.

The train traveled through endless mountain tunnels.

At nine at night, the train stopped at a small station. The passenger opposite Xia Xia got off, and a heavily made-up woman got on.

The woman had dyed bright red hair and wore a pink down jacket over a red lace fitted dress, with black stockings and knee-high boots.

She left her down jacket unzipped, with the dress neckline pulled low, revealing half of her round, milky white chest.

Xie Huai poked Xia Xia: “Isn’t that jacket the same as yours?”

Xia Xia: “It’s not at all.”

The woman sat opposite Xia Xia. Her unusual outfit drew many turned heads along the way, leaving a trail of perfume wherever she passed.

Xie Huai smelled her pungent perfume and frowned slightly but said nothing.

Seeing his tired face, Xia Xia patted her knee: “Rest your head here and sleep for a while.”

Xie Huai sat on the floor, looked up at her, and chuckled: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll take advantage of you?”

Xia Xia said softly: “No.”

Xie Huai put away his phone and rested his head on her lap.

The carriage was noisy, but he was exhausted today and fell asleep quickly.

Xia Xia looked down at his soft hair and couldn’t resist reaching out to touch it lightly like a dragonfly skimming water.

Even though Xie Huai had been a young master for so many years, probably never experiencing such hardship even after his family went bankrupt, he endured it without a single complaint about her.

The woman opposite started making phone calls, her phone constantly ringing. Xia Xia heard her sweetly addressing various people as Manager Li and Manager Zhang, her voice sugary and coquettish as she talked about being away from the shop during New Year’s visit home, promising to meet after the holiday.

She thought this woman must be doing big business to know so many managers.

At eleven at night, the woman was still on the phone.

Xie Huai had been woken up several times and said impatiently: “It’s eleven o’clock, can you keep it down?”

The woman looked back at him and hung up the phone.

Xie Huai covered his head with his scarf and continued sleeping on Xia Xia’s lap.

At two in the morning, he was awakened by a strange sensation on his calf. He opened his eyes to find a foot in black stockings on his leg.

Seeing him awake, the woman became even more brazen, her foot snaking up his pants.

Xie Huai pulled his leg away and coldly stared at her, his arm resting on the edge of Xia Xia’s seat.

After a few seconds of eye contact, he got up to use the bathroom.

The woman lazily stood up and followed him.

As Xie Huai opened the bathroom door after finishing, the woman stood outside, slipping through the door gap like an eel.

The bathroom was small, barely fitting two people.

The woman locked the door and pulled down her jacket zipper… [Content removed for ethical reasons]

She licked her lips and smiled at Xie Huai: “I usually charge others a hundred, but you’re handsome, so I’ll let you have it for free.”

In the dead of night, the train was quiet except for the clattering sound of wheels on tracks, making the whole carriage shake.

The bathroom was drafty, with a cold wind blowing in from some gap.

Xie Huai: “Get out.”

The woman was unconcerned: “Your girlfriend is asleep, I won’t tell her.”

“I’ve been in this business for years, I’m good at reading people,” she looked down. “That girl is so plain, I don’t believe she can satisfy you.”

Xie Huai stood still, and the woman took it as consent, reaching to undo his scarf.

Xie Huai swung back and struck her hand hard. The woman’s skin was fair, and a deep red mark immediately appeared on the back of her hand.

“Can’t understand human speech?” Xie Huai’s voice carried deep coldness. “Try touching me again, and I’ll chop your claws into pieces to feed to dogs. Get out.”

He pushed the woman aside and opened the door to leave.

Xia Xia had barely slept in the early night but was now sound asleep.

Without a table to lean on, her body against the seat back unconsciously started leaning toward the man beside her.

When Xie Huai returned, her head was almost on the man’s shoulder.

Xie Huai supported her head and straightened her up.

Xia Xia was drowsy, rubbing her eyes and yawning, saying instinctively: “Brother Huai, come sit for a while.”

She looked so cute half-asleep that Xie Huai couldn’t help pinching her face, pressing her shoulder toward himself: “You’re almost leaning on a stranger, how does that look? Better lean on me instead.”

Xia Xia was so tired she could barely open her eyes. She asked hazily: “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Xie Huai said: “No more sleep.”

Xia Xia obediently leaned against him, but after a while, finding the position uncomfortable, she turned sideways and hugged his waist, half her body hanging on him like a koala.

The woman returned from the bathroom, glancing at Xie Huai.

Xie Huai didn’t even look at her, just put his earphones in and continued watching movies.

For the next day and a half, Xie Huai never sat on the floor again. Occasionally when someone beside them got off and no one boarded at that station, he would sit for a while, but he never let Xia Xia stand in the crowded aisle for even a minute until they got off.

Xia Xia occasionally observed the woman opposite.

She made many phone calls and frequently went to the bathroom, always followed by a man when she returned.

Xia Xia secretly gossiped with Xie Huai: “That woman opposite seems very rich, she knows many managers.”

Xie Huai’s mouth twitched, his eyes showing some disdain.

He knocked her head: “Stop watching her.”

Forty-eight hours later, the train stopped at Chang City Station.

The moment Xie Huai got off the train, he felt reborn.

He stood at the spacious station and stretched.

The northern wind was cold, and Xia Xia’s clothes from the south were rather thin. She wrapped her collar tighter, shivering from the cold.

Xie Huai took off his scarf and gave it to her.

Xia Xia waved her hand: “No need, I’ll be home soon.”

“It’s snowing outside, you’ll catch a cold wearing so little,” Xie Huai said. “I’ll lend it to you for a few days, return it next semester.”

He insisted on giving it to her, so Xia Xia had to put the scarf on.

Her almond eyes were wide open, her tone pitiful: “Brother Huai, will you travel back to school with me? I’ll book you a soft sleeper next time.”

“Oh?” Xie Huai deliberately said, “You think I dare let you trick me again?”

“Really,” Xia Xia hurriedly said. “Or you can buy the tickets, I’ll give you the money, as compensation.”

“Can’t hold onto money once you’ve earned some, huh?” Xie Huai said leisurely. “If you want me to travel with you, it depends on how you behave during the break.”

“What counts as good behavior?” Xia Xia asked.

Xie Huai: “Go home and get some sleep first, I’ll tell you after you’re rested.”

There were direct buses to Zhang City outside the train station. Xia Xia watched Xie Huai’s back until he disappeared around the corner of the exit before coming to her senses.

She counted on her fingers – there was still a month until the end of winter break, meaning she wouldn’t see Xie Huai for a month.

She felt dejected for a while, then took her suitcase to the station bathroom.

Wu Li had called her a month ago asking if she wanted to come home for New Year, but Xia Xia was very reluctant about going home. Because in Wu Li and Wei Jinhai’s minds, she shouldn’t be studying in Nancheng but should be working in some electronics factory in the Pearl River Delta or washing dishes in some restaurant.

While New Year homecoming was a time of family reunion for others, for her it was an ordeal.

Not only did she have to hide the fact that she was attending university, but she also had to make it look like she’d been working for half a year, and moreover had to give Wei Jinhai money to show filial respect.

It was reasonable for working people to repay their stepfathers who had raised them for years, and besides, Xia Xia didn’t dare give him money.

Though she had left, Wu Li still had to live with Wei Jinhai. If she was inconsiderate and made Wei Jinhai angry, Wu Li might suffer at home, and she couldn’t earn enough money to let Wu Li leave Wei Jinhai and live independently.

Xia Xia had been better off financially this half year, not as tight as when she first started school, but with classes and limited time for part-time work, even counting the money earned in the last half month, she only had three thousand yuan.

She couldn’t give all this money to Wei Jinhai, or she wouldn’t be able to survive the next semester, but if she gave too little, Wei Jinhai would be suspicious.

After much thought, she could only think of one solution.

It had been half a month since Wu Li’s last call. That day, Xia Xia had choked up on the phone, crying about how the electronics factory wasn’t doing well and had layoffs, and she was among those dismissed.

And being unable to find work near the New Year, she could only apply phone screen protectors under bridges.

Xia Xia went to the bathroom, opened her suitcase, and took out the leather pants and fluorescent pink down jacket.

Wei Jinhai was shallow and status-conscious, loving to judge people’s identity and status by their clothes. The more destitute she looked, the more he would believe her story.

Xia Xia put on those exaggerated clothes and messed up her hair in front of the mirror until she looked poor and desperate.

She turned around, wrapping Xie Huai’s scarf around her head: “An unemployed girl who had nowhere to go after being laid off, weak and helpless, can only apply screen protectors under bridges – I’m so great, I can interpret these clothes so perfectly.”

She zipped up her suitcase and stepped out, confidently embarking on her journey home.

Xie Huai walked around the corner, suddenly needing to use the bathroom.

Remembering the bathroom he had just passed, he turned back.

The train station was not crowded in the early morning. From far away, he saw a pink figure walking through the central hall.

The person had their face covered with a scarf, wearing a dusty fluorescent pink cotton jacket with several holes in the sleeves showing yellowed cotton inside, tight black leather pants below, and studded high-heel boots. Due to poor quality, half the studs had fallen off the shoes, making them look bare.

And between the shoes and leather pants, this person was wearing fluorescent green socks.

The woman on the train had made Xie Huai nauseated until now, and seeing someone dressed like this after getting off made him look a few more times.

As they passed each other, he suddenly felt something was wrong and reached out to pull the scarf hanging down her back.

When Xia Xia was grabbed, her heart dropped.

It’s over, only one thought buzzed in her head.

Xie Huai seemed very hostile toward that woman on the train, showing disdain whenever she mentioned her. Xia Xia didn’t know what had offended him, only assuming he thought the woman dressed tackily and bizarrely.

Now she was the one dressed tackily and bizarrely, and just thinking about Xie Huai’s expression made her want to bang her head against a wall.

When she saw Xie Huai approaching from afar, she quickly covered her face with the scarf, planning to pretend not to know him as they passed, but Xie Huai still discovered her.

Xie Huai walked around to face her, looking over her outfit: “Xia Xia, what are you doing?”

Ten minutes ago she was a sweet girl in pure student attire, and ten minutes later she had wrapped herself up like a gaudy old lady selling eggs. Xie Huai couldn’t process this disparity for a moment.

Xia Xia covered her face, stubbornly resisting: “Wrong person, wrong person, we don’t know each other.”

Xie Huai swatted her hands away: “Wrong person? This scarf was knitted by you for me.”

He pulled the scarf off Xia Xia’s face, examining her little face red with embarrassment, and said meaningfully: “For your mom to wear? If you want to wear it just say so, why all the sneaking around?”

Looking at her outfit, Xie Huai pondered for a long time, still unable to accept Xia Xia’s taste and aesthetics.

He couldn’t help asking: “What the hell is this – performance art or cosplay?”
