I Return From Hell

Chapter 181: Chapter 170: Getting a Crystal Core Again

”If I could have Wang Quanzhi as a brother-in-law, life would be a breeze for me after graduation.”

She immediately cast herself as Xia Tian’s wife, lost in her own fantasy.

Xia Yu deftly tossed a piece of clothing she’d taken off into Lin Yuxia’s grabby hands. ”Why don’t I just set the two of you up?” she said. ”If you become Wang Quanzhi’s woman directly, your life will be even easier.”

”Tch.”

Lin Yuxia casually tossed Xia Yu’s clothes onto Shi Qiushui’s bed. She crossed her arms, unable to accept that she had failed to grab her twice. ”You think I don’t want to?” she retorted.

”It’s not just me. That little hussy Xiao Rou has been thirsty for a while now. If you say you’re not interested in Wang Quanzhi, I bet she’d pounce on him in a heartbeat.”

”I don’t like him.”

Xia Yu headed to the en-suite bathroom to take a shower.

Uh.

Lin Yuxia and Guan Xiaorou froze, then exchanged a look.

And then...

Guan Xiaorou couldn’t help but ask, ”Yu, you really don’t like him?”

Xia Yu shook her head.

”Then what kind of guys do you like?”

Guan Xiaorou couldn’t understand Xia Yu’s standards for a partner at all. ”You work your fingers to the bone to earn money. Isn’t it all to give your brother and yourself a better life?”

”Wang Quanzhi can give you all of that.”

”Besides, based on my extensive experience with men, I’d say Wang Quanzhi is genuinely into you.”

”If you miss this chance, you might not get another one.”

Without turning around, Xia Yu said, ”I’m fine on my own. Who needs a man?”

Guan Xiaorou was speechless.

”That’s my bestie, so damn cool! I freaking love you, Little Yu! Quick, let me have a feel! I can’t take it anymore!”

Lin Yuxia looked like a total fangirl, but her mind was filled with X-rated thoughts as she lunged forward.

Then, another piece of clothing Xia Yu had taken off landed over her head.

SWISH.

Xia Yu sidestepped her, slipped into the bathroom, and locked the door from the inside.

’I really don’t get it.’

Guan Xiaorou felt that Xia Yu had changed. She was very different from the last time they’d met, but for the moment, Guan Xiaorou couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was.

The feeling was truly bizarre.

’If I had to describe it...’

’It was like Xia Yu seemed a little... unreal?’

She realized that helping Wang Quanzhi win over Xia Yu was going to be extremely difficult. The usual playbook for winning over a woman was completely useless on her.

Shaking her head, she turned to go back to her bunk.

But then...

”Sister Xia, you’re such a pervert!”

Guan Xiaorou was completely dumbfounded when she saw Lin Yuxia cradling Xia Yu’s sweaty clothes and taking a deep whiff.

Although Lin Yuxia loved to talk dirty and be handsy, her sexual orientation was perfectly normal. This scene, however, was enough to make Guan Xiaorou take a step back in shock.

”It smells so good.”

”What’s with that look? Smell it yourself if you don’t believe me.”

Lin Yuxia held out Xia Yu’s clothes, but Guan Xiaorou took another step back, waving her hands frantically and giving her a weird look.

This thoroughly annoyed Lin Yuxia.

”You have to smell it!”

She pounced, forcing the clothes under Guan Xiaorou’s nose.

”Huh?”

Guan Xiaorou froze. ”What perfume is this? I’ve never smelled anything like it. It’s subtle... not floral, but not like...”

She trailed off, analyzing the scent.

Unconsciously, she took another two sniffs.

Still, she couldn’t identify it.

”And you called me a pervert! You sniffed it one more time than I did!”

Lin Yuxia declared.

The corner of Guan Xiaorou’s mouth twitched.

Triumphantly, Lin Yuxia looked away from her and toward the bathroom, shouting, ”Little Yu, why do your clothes smell so good? Don’t tell me that’s your natural scent.”

”I’ve slept holding you before, and this is definitely not your natural scent.”

Inside the bathroom, Xia Yu, who had already taken off most of her clothes, froze for a second. Then, she ”naturally” changed the subject. ”On my way back just now, I saw police heading toward the Second Gymnasium.”

”I think someone died.”

Sure enough.

Her words instantly diverted the attention of Lin Yuxia and Guan Xiaorou outside the door.

”Huh?”

”For real?!”

”Quick, check the school forum!”

...

The two girls began chattering as they looked into it.

Finally getting some peace and quiet, Xia Yu went back to her shower.

Soon, she was finished. After getting dressed, she stepped out of the bathroom.

Just then, the dorm room door swung open.

And a panicked figure burst inside...
