What?! My anime figures have all come true!

"The wicked class enemy!"

Although the computer store friend and Ding Jiafang knew where Chen Xiao lived and had visited before, they still cursed in unison when they saw the villa in front of them.

"You guys..."

Chen Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth.

He then stepped forward, scanned his fingerprint to open the door, and turned around to have his friend from the computer store and Ding Jiafang carry the items inside.

Fortunately, on the way there, Chen Xiao sent a message to Shiina Mahiru at home, asking her to temporarily return to the display case. So what the two of them saw was a clean and tidy but empty villa living room.

"Hey Xiao, aren't you scared living here all alone?"

Ding Jiafang subconsciously rubbed her shoulders.

"What if you ran into that superpowered criminal from a few days ago and something happened to you while you were home alone? Luckily, there's Black Rock Shooter... Hey, you've seen Black Rock Shooter's videos, right? He's so cool!"

When talking about Black Rock Shooter, Ding Jiafang was as excited as a fan meeting their idol in person. If he weren't holding something in his hand, he probably would have demonstrated how to make a Rasengan on the spot. (@A Certain Golden-Haired Milk Dragon)

"Oh! I know! I watched it too, Black Rock Shooter is really cool! So stylish and cute!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao subconsciously glanced at the bedroom. With his classmate speaking so loudly, Hei Yan could definitely hear it.

However, I didn't just watch the video; I was actually there at the time and had close contact with Black Rock!

"cute?"

Ding Jiafang seemed somewhat puzzled by Chen Xiao's description.

How could a cold, taciturn, dark-themed superpowered girl be associated with "cute"?

But Ding Jiafang thought that Chen Xiao clearly had a strong anime/manga vibe and liked to use internet memes, but he didn't watch any popular anime at all.

Perhaps his aesthetic sense is different from that of the general public.

"By the way, the class monitor was there too, did you know? It's a pity she didn't take a video with her phone."

Was Lin Qi there at the time?

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow. At that moment, half of his attention was on the members of the countermeasures team and the armed police brigade around him, and the other half was thinking about how to get Hei Yan away. He did not notice the onlookers on the surrounding high-rise buildings.

"That's a real shame..."

"Xiao, we'll move it to this room to install it, right?"

The friend from the computer store went up to the second floor and saw a piece of paper with the words "[Computer Room]" on the door. He turned to Chen Xiao behind him and asked him about it.

"Yes, this is the room."

Chen Xiao glanced at it and nodded in response.

"Your handwriting is quite nice."

Ding Jiafang, who was the last to enter, glanced at the three handwritten words on the paper and said with some surprise.

Although Chen Xiao's handwriting wasn't so bad as to be completely illegible, the delicate and refined style of his handwriting didn't seem like it was written by him.

There's no need to have someone else write this on a piece of paper, is there?

"Jiafang, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and move your things over here."

At that moment, Chen Xiao, who was already unpacking in the room, called out to him, interrupting Ding Jiafang's thoughts.

"I heard you, I'm coming right now."

Ding Jiafang shook her head, feeling there was no need to think about it too much, put the equipment in her hand in the room, and then followed Chen Xiao downstairs to move other equipment.

Meanwhile, the friend who owned the computer store was in charge of installing equipment in the computer room.

"It's been cleaned so thoroughly..."

As he moved up and down, Ding Jiafang began to observe the situation inside the villa. He hadn't really looked around when he visited before, but he knew that Chen Xiao usually lived at school and only came back on weekends and holidays.

Only on that day would he do a simple cleaning of the villa.

However, the villa in front of us was spotless, both inside and out...

No, it's actually a bit too clean.

It's like someone is cleaning every day.

Based on Ding Jiafang's understanding of Chen Xiao, even though he has graduated now, it's impossible for him to change his habits overnight.

Not to mention, cleaning such a villa every day would be exhausting!

"Could the speculation in the group be true?!"

Ding Jiafang's eyes widened suddenly, and her gaze sharpened instantly!

That happened after Lin Qi and Chen Xiao talked in the coffee shop. Since even his childhood sweetheart couldn't persuade him to turn back, there were many possibilities that people could think of. One of them was that Chen Xiao met a "girlfriend who fell from the sky"!

If you had a girlfriend living with you and she helped clean the villa, then it's certainly possible to get it this clean.

But it's also possible that Chen Xiao paid someone to help clean it up.

and so……

"The shoe cabinet in the entryway!"

While moving things, Ding Jiafang pretended to be tired and secretly glanced at the shoe cabinet next to the entrance.

There were no women's shoes.

"Phew...no."

Ding Jiafang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

No, we can't let our guard down yet. Maybe they just went out!

"And then there's the toilet!"

After a while, Ding Jiafang used the excuse of going to the toilet to go check the public toilet in the villa.

But the public toilets have hardly been used, so you can't tell anything from them.

Hmm? You're asking why I didn't go check out the private restrooms?

Ding Jiafang still had some sense of shame; he simply couldn't bring himself to spy on his classmate's private home just to verify his suspicions.

At most, I'll look at the entryway, the public restroom, the living room, and the kitchen...

Now that the entryway and public restroom are safe, the only suspicious thing in the living room is the sofa. Finally, the problem was discovered in the kitchen.

"really……"

Ding Jiafang stared at the pink apron hanging on the shelf behind the kitchen door, her gaze growing increasingly sharp.

Would Chen Xiao wear this pink apron?

That's obviously impossible!

The kitchen range hood showed signs of use, and the stovetop still had some residual heat, indicating that it had been used not long ago.

Before this, Chen Xiao had always stayed by his side.

And there is...

Ding Jiafang turned her attention to the largest item in the kitchen—the double-door refrigerator!

It has been used by some to describe the human body in novels.

"Inside the refrigerator!"

Ding Jiafang quietly opened the refrigerator and took a peek. The scene that came into view made him unable to look directly at it!

Packed full of ingredients!

Does Chen Xiao, who lives here alone, need so many ingredients?

That's obviously impossible!

"As expected, Xiao, you really did betray us..."

Ding Jiafang felt a mix of emotions.

First, there's envy for the brother who found a partner first; then there's admiration for Chen Xiao's choice to give up a bright future for true love; and finally, there's incomprehension about his reluctance to be open with everyone.

Actually, Chen Xiao's friends and classmates aren't that heartless. If he really meets "true love," everyone will understand and offer their blessings.

But how can they keep this from everyone?!

Could it be because of... the class monitor?

Lin Qi's feelings for Chen Xiao were common knowledge in college. After all, they had been childhood sweethearts for over a decade, and usually, such childhood sweetheart relationships would have already blossomed into marriage during college.

But in the end, Lin Qi's husband was stolen by some guy who didn't even know where he came from.

There are cows...

No wonder Xiao kept it a secret from everyone.

The class monitor absolutely must not find out about this!

Ah Xiao, don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you.

Why does this guy look like he's ready to die?

Seeing Ding Jiafang's expression, as if she were about to personally blow up a bunker, Chen Xiao felt completely bewildered.
