10: The charm is too great, and the friendship has deteriorated.

The next day.

Six PM, Hundred Flavors BBQ.

Today, Jiang Yuxi was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of white sandals.

It seemed ordinary, but as the saying goes, if someone is good-looking, as long as they don't intentionally try to look ugly, anything they wear looks good.

Her exquisite and cute loli face, fair and smooth skin, well-proportioned and graceful curves, and delicate, crystal-clear small feet were indeed a delight to the eyes.

Of course,

in terms of looks, the current Bai Xuan was even more striking.

Bai Xuan merely admired Jiang Yuxi for a couple of glances, but upon seeing Bai Xuan, Jiang Yuxi couldn't help but widen her eyes, exclaiming in shock and disbelief:

“Good Brother, are you addicted to fitness and can't extricate yourself?”

“You look like you've mutated!”

“It's only been a few days since we last met, how could your change be so drastic?”

“Are you sure you're doing proper fitness?”

“Oh, right, I suddenly remembered a video I saw online.”

“It talked about 'drug-enhanced fitness, Nine Dragons Body Forging'.”

“You didn't actually take drugs, did you?”

Bai Xuan sat down first, then spoke:

“Do you think I would take drugs?”

“And are you sure there's such a miraculous drug in this world?”

“One that, after taking it, not only gives someone chiseled muscles but also makes them more handsome?”

“These muscles of mine, I've forged them with my sweat.”

“Although I also feel that my changes are a bit significant.”

“But look closely at my face?”

“Are my changes really that big?”

“I'm still me, it's just that my muscles have become more perfect, my skin has become cleaner, my body is healthier… numerous subtle changes accumulated together, making it seem like I've undergone earth-shattering transformations.”

Although Jiang Yuxi felt it was unscientific, upon closer thought, what Bai Xuan said didn't seem entirely unreasonable.

And she didn't understand professional knowledge related to the human body, so she naturally lacked the ability to judge.

Since what Bai Xuan said made sense, what choice did she have besides believing him?

After all, the facts were right before her eyes; the truth couldn't possibly be that Bai Xuan had actually mutated, could it?

Looking closely at Bai Xuan's face, his features were indeed the same, but they appeared much more harmonious.

“That's true…”

“It seems Good Brother, you truly have a good foundation.”

“And you're exceptionally gifted in fitness.”

“That's why you've had such astonishing changes in a short period of time.”

At this point, Jiang Yuxi's tone shifted, and she teased:

“However, seeing you now, I suddenly feel I don't need to worry about you becoming my sister.”

“So handsome, bad women are definitely going to target you.”

“Although Bai Xuan, you usually have a whole lot of theoretical knowledge about relationships, you've never actually been in one, and I don't think you can outplay those bad women.”

With a slight smile, Bai Xuan replied:

“Then you underestimate me too much.”

“Even though I wasn't as handsome before, it's not like no girls pursued me.”

“While I haven't been in a relationship, it's not like I haven't interacted with girls.”

“I'm perceptive, cautious, prudent, full of vigilance, and better at calculating gains and losses. I find it difficult to trust strangers, and I won't give unconditionally. Moreover, I care a lot about my health and won't casually get into relationships.”

“Those bad women can't trick me out of my money, nor can they trick me out of my body, so what else can they trick me out of? My feelings?”

After hearing Bai Xuan's reply, Jiang Yuxi immediately responded:

“I'm not talking about 'bad women' in the true sense.”

“Suppose a girl is healthy, good-looking, and wealthy.”

“She pursues you, doesn't require anything from you, is willing to spend money on you, and just wants to be in a relationship and sleep with you.”

“Can you really refuse?”

“If they're not bad women, then what are you talking about?”

Bai Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly; he had actually guessed part of his Good Brother's thoughts, then his tone shifted:

“However, Good Brother, you know me.”

“I really dislike trouble. If I get entangled with this kind of woman, I might be annoyed to death.”

“So I can't easily agree, and I think we can end this topic.”

“I've been immersed in fitness recently and am not interested in relationships.”

“Let's order some barbecue first.”

“We can chat about university while we eat.”

“Okay, okay.”

Jiang Yuxi also knew she was getting a bit out of hand, so she agreed and then went with Bai Xuan to get skewers.

Beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, beef fat, pork belly, eggplant, small yellow croaker…

Let's eat first.

Although the previous topic was skipped, Jiang Yuxi's gaze towards Bai Xuan was no longer innocent.

Bai Xuan didn't have many friends, and neither did she.

Just as she understood Bai Xuan, Bai Xuan also understood her.

Bai Xuan looked at the distracted Jiang Yuxi, and a strange mix of emotions arose in his heart.

Once, Jiang Yuxi had a 'good friend' on the surface.

This 'good friend' constantly took advantage of Jiang Yuxi's generous and open-minded nature.

As she kept taking advantage, she began to feel it was her right, thinking that Jiang Yuxi's things should be her things.

At first, Jiang Yuxi also thought this was natural.

Good friends should share.

Until her 'good friend' started spreading rumors about her, speaking ill of her behind her back.

More importantly, the rumors spread.

Many people believed them, thinking Jiang Yuxi was an unchaste bad girl.

Everyone started to ostracize her.

At that time,

she truly felt like her world had collapsed.

Why was this happening?

Why would her 'good friend' spread rumors about her?

She was confused, she didn't understand, she couldn't remain calm.

So she found this 'good friend' and forced the truth out of her.

And this truth was simply due to jealousy.

After learning the truth, Jiang Yuxi transferred schools, and her heart also closed off, until she met Bai Xuan.

She discovered that Bai Xuan didn't like to take advantage; if you helped him, he would definitely reciprocate.

Just this one point was enough to make Jiang Yuxi want to be friends with Bai Xuan.

Their subsequent interactions only made Jiang Yuxi admire and sympathize with Bai Xuan more, and their relationship grew closer.

Besides this, Jiang Yuxi used to think that while Bai Xuan's appearance wasn't strikingly handsome, just a bit charming, she found him very pleasing and comfortable to look at.

So even though they were friends, she always had some other thoughts in her heart, though they weren't strong.

But the current Bai Xuan was simply too handsome, so their friendship had already begun to change.

“I seem to have underestimated my charm.”

“The influence of good looks is far greater than I predicted.”

“And this is a very serious problem.”

“I don't want to attract too many people of the opposite sex… or even the same sex, because of my charm, wasting my time.”

“Perhaps in the future, I need to be more low-key.”

As Bai Xuan chatted with Jiang Yuxi about university matters, a flicker of something unusual also passed through his eyes.
