Chapter 213: The Abstinent Gigolo 13

 Hearing this, Little Cutie immediately raised a hand enthusiastically.

“Host, I know!”

“I just unlocked the villain’s childhood backstory! Turns out, he was the little boy who saved the original owner back then! He didn’t know you were Tang Corporation’s eldest miss before, but Xiaorou accidentally exposed it just now!” Little Cutie said quickly. “The reason his favorability suddenly dropped was probably because he remembered that he got kicked there after saving the original owner.”

Tang Wan froze.

Then the corner of her mouth twitched speechlessly.

“How could the original owner mistake something like that? I’m seriously impressed.”

“And even if the original owner got it wrong, there’s no way the male lead could’ve mistaken it too, right?” Tang Wan said coldly.

The moment she said that, Little Cutie pulled out a tiny handkerchief and pretended to wipe away sweat.

“Well… that’s because the plot in this mission world is ridiculously melodramatic. The four of you were abducted together back then!”

Tang Wan: “???”

Was this some kind of joke?

What kind of absurd plot twist was this?!

At that moment, Little Cutie added awkwardly, “But at the time, the male lead only knew how to cry. He was clinging to the heroine’s leg and bawling his eyes out. Since it was too embarrassing, he never corrected the original owner’s misunderstanding afterward.”

Tang Wan let out a cold laugh.

“What a scumbag.”

Just to save face, he knowingly let the original owner believe he was the one who saved her?

He stole the villain’s heroic act without a shred of guilt?

And in the end, he even cruelly handed the original owner over to those hosts, driving her to suicide?

How shameless could he get?!

A trace of anger flashed across Tang Wan’s eyes as she cracked her knuckles.

This was absolutely intolerable.

Seeing this, Little Cutie hurriedly tried to calm her down.

“Host, stay calm! You’ll get punished if you attack the male lead!”

Tang Wan sneered. “Did you forget I still have one chance left to resist an SS-rank electric shock punishment?”

Little Cutie: “…”

“Well… okay then. But you still have to be careful! Once the punishment activates, I won’t be able to save you!” Little Cutie warned nervously.

“Relax.” Tang Wan ground her teeth together. “I promise I won’t beat him to death.”

But she was definitely going to make him suffer.

…

Not long afterward, someone knocked on the door.

Tang Wan immediately went to open it and saw Xi Jingtong standing outside with a bag in his hand, his gaze slightly complicated.

“That’s all you brought?” Tang Wan asked.

“Mm.” Xi Jingtong nodded.

Then, while changing his shoes, he added, “By the way, I visit my grandmother every afternoon, so I might not always be able to accompany you. I wanted to tell you in advance.”

Hearing this, Tang Wan waved casually.

“It’s fine. Just do whatever you normally do. Go to class when you need to. There’s no need to change your routine.”

Xi Jingtong’s expression softened slightly upon hearing that.

“I understand. Thank you.”

He had taken a year off from university to work at the club, so it was indeed time to return to school.

Only…

He no longer wanted to continue studying Chinese medicine.

Since Tang Wan suffered from psychological trauma, he wanted to switch to psychology instead.

…

After that, Tang Wan and Xi Jingtong settled into a strange domestic life.

In name, they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

But in reality, they lived more like extremely harmonious roommates.

Still, after a month together, both of them had gradually become used to the other’s presence in their daily lives.

Then, during dinner one evening, Xi Jingtong suddenly said, “Tomorrow I’m taking a transfer assessment exam. I probably won’t make it back in time to cook dinner for you. I’ll prepare the food in advance and leave it in the refrigerator. Just heat it up in the microwave after you wake up.”

Tang Wan paused in surprise.

“A transfer assessment? You’re changing majors?”

“Mm.” Xi Jingtong nodded calmly. “Medical programs already take an extra year compared to most majors. I want to graduate sooner.”

But he didn’t mention that the major he planned to transfer into was psychology.
