Chapter Seventeen: The Villain

“I have a question for you, do you have a girlfriend?”

Reading this WeChat message sent by Tang Baona, Xiang Kun was a bit dumbfounded. Although it was just text, he could tell from the words that she was annoyed.

What was going on? Could it be that Tang Baona had fallen for him?

Xiang Kun found this a bit unbelievable. Although his body had gone through some changes, making him look younger and more energetic than before, and his physique had changed from fat to fit after two transformations, he was far from handsome. His facial features were just ordinary, and besides, he was bald.

Although they chatted happily when they met at the café, Xiang Kun didn’t have the blind confidence to believe that it was enough to win over Tang Baona.

Could it be that after several mutations, his body had developed some abilities he hadn’t noticed—such as the ability to attract women?

As Xiang Kun wondered and guessed, he replied to the WeChat message.

Although he had no plans to fall in love now, he couldn’t let her misunderstand that he already had a girlfriend. This would implicate Chang Bin and Wang Han, who had introduced them to each other.

So he replied, “Not at all, why do you ask?”

A few seconds later, another message from Tang Baona came, “Or do you have a boyfriend?”

Seeing this message, Xiang Kun’s first reaction was, had she mispelt? But soon, he understood her meaning, and barely managed not to roll his eyes:

“I am straight!”

Tang Baona: “Is it because I’m not pretty enough to meet your aesthetic standards?”

Xiang Kun: “You are very beautiful.”

Tang Baona: “So was I rude or did I have a bad attitude when we met before?”

Xiang Kun: “Not at all.”

Tang Baona: “Then why are you avoiding me?”

Xiang Kun wanted to reply, “When did I avoid you?” Indeed, he had merely declined an invitation to hang out, which couldn’t be counted as avoidance.

However, if he replied like this, it may seem a bit aggressive. They met through a blind date. After the meeting, Xiang Kun, as the man, didn’t take the initiative to contact her, so saying “avoiding” wasn’t too far-fetched.

Just when he was hesitating about how to explain, Tang Baona sent another message:

“Don’t misunderstand, I have no intentions. I just think you’re a good person and we could be friends. But you’re avoiding me, which hurts.”

Xiang Kun knew what she meant by “no intentions,” and he vaguely understood her thoughts. He considered his words and replied: “It’s not that you’re not good, it’s just that you’re too good, outstanding in every way. I don’t think we’d have much hope of developing further. I’m probably not your type.”

Tang Baona immediately replied: “How do you know what type I like?”
