To me, he’s not even a guy!” Qiao Yinzǐ muttered, hurt and frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never imagined one day she’d be misunderstood as having something with Fang Hou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that even be possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yinzǐ, I'm going to say something you won't like,\" Huang Zhitao glanced at her cautiously, choosing her words: \"I'm not a guy! There are plenty of things you could've come to me about, yet you deliberately avoid me and go to Fang Yifan—the guy you think isn't even a guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe you mean no harm—you’re just like Lin Miaomiao, still clueless about this kind of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we’ve all had biology class; we know young bodies are full of hormonal restlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even between biological parents and children, or siblings, people must be careful as they grow older, precisely because some physical reactions are beyond willpower—pure instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can a boy and girl truly remain completely unaffected by arm-around-shoulder intimacy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You aren’t affected now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that doesn’t mean Fang Yifan isn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had no such thoughts, he wouldn’t constantly bother me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he’s different from you and does have these thoughts, do you really believe He Chen’s ‘Buddy, you smell good’ has never once crossed Fang Yifan’s mind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...” Qiao Yinzǐ had no reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never thought of these things, and truly didn’t see Fang Yifan as a guy, because his constant fussing and attentiveness were nothing like a man’s behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with He Chen’s attitude delivering such a strong shock, she had to admit her best friend was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two best friends walked and talked, suddenly a hand landed on Qiao Yinzǐ’s shoulder, and Fang Yifan’s familiar teasing voice came from beside her: “What are you talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yinzǐ sharply slapped his hand away, angry: “What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Fang Yifan looked stunned, helpless, then quickly adjusted himself, grinning: “I know you’re upset, but don’t take it out on me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know?” Qiao Yinzǐ was startled, forgetting her anger over his sudden physical contact, and stared at him, flustered and furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My mom told me,” Fang Yifan said casually. “She said you got caught by Aunt Song at the planetarium and had a terrible time—your mood must be bad. She told me to comfort you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, what exactly happened back then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing happened!” Qiao Yinzǐ breathed a quiet sigh of relief that Fang Yifan didn’t know the embarrassing details, then snapped: “Don’t talk about me—worry about your own grades instead. You’re last in the class, and you still have time to think about other things?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, she held back again, then added: “And from now on, don’t touch me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” Fang Yifan looked utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really don’t get it, or are you pretending?” Huang Zhitao smiled faintly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I get it, I get it!” Fang Yifan’s face lit up: “Goddess has spoken—I won’t ever put my arm around Yinzǐ or touch her again. It looks bad; people might think we’re together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would ruin my reputation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taozi, don’t worry—I won’t do it again without your permission!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go die!” Qiao Yinzǐ, furious at his twisting the truth, stomped hard on his foot and angrily dragged Huang Zhitao away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell!” Fang Yifan hopped in pain, watching his childhood friend and goddess walk off, frowning deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this strange, unprecedented distance from his childhood friend and goddess, a new, unprecedented unease stirred in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cousin, are you okay?” His little follower Lin Lei whispered weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine!” Fang Yifan pulled himself together and asked his genius panda cousin: “What’s going on with them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They were probably told not to put their arms around you,” Lin Lei cut straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-IQ people never lack emotional intelligence—they simply choose whether or not to display it, not whether they can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Lin Lei, who scored over seven hundred and ranked first by sheer talent, even without personal experience, could hardly fail to see through these things when observing from the sidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Fang Yifan was stunned, then shook his head violently: “Impossible! Yinzǐ and I have been childhood buddies since we were kids—what’s wrong with putting arms around each other? Yinzǐ wouldn’t be acting weird because of that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Lei adjusted his glasses and said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually envied his cousin—envied his happy, wealthy family, envied his childhood friend Qiao Yinzǐ, and envied how he chased after her beautiful best friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like Jia Baoyu’s life in Dream of the Red Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that his cousin refused to acknowledge such an obvious truth, he couldn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would be impolite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If she won’t let you touch her, cousin, you’ve got me!” Fang Yifan, frustrated, threw an arm around his cousin’s shoulder: “We’re the real brothers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah,” Lin Lei smiled in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two brothers walked off with arms around each other’s shoulders, but Fang Yifan’s expression wasn’t as carefree or clueless as he pretended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Chen, Qiao Yinzǐ, and Huang Zhitao were all highly noticeable on campus, so the fact that Qiao Yinzǐ and Huang Zhitao had gone to find He Chen during break had already spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came this unprecedented distance from his childhood friend—even his bookish cousin noticed someone had warned Qiao Yinzǐ not to be so close to him. How could someone who spent all day chasing after his goddess not sense and be shaken by it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just didn’t want to know, so he pretended he didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if he took it seriously, could he still pursue Huang Zhitao while maintaining this state with Qiao Yinzǐ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’d be like trying to eat peaches without picking them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why insist on this anyway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Fang Yifan, Qiao Yinzǐ wasn’t as beautiful as Taozi, but she wasn’t ugly either; besides, youth has no ugly girls—even if he’d never consciously thought about it, his subconscious still liked having a “brother” he could touch intimately and who smelled so good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, all of this was about to collapse because of He Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he understood perfectly how Ji Yangyang felt that morning when he became a laughingstock—the feeling of being furious but forced to suppress it, pretending to be strong and indifferent, was absolutely awful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Chen, I’m not done with you!!!\u003C\u002Fp>",1193,"2026-06-20T05:35:49.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","692ef929d9b7c768fb8c66df3409b912a93c1419a8607bde798f12625dc0026c","daily-life-in-a-multiverse-my-superpowers-refres-chapter-53","daily-life-in-a-multiverse-my-superpowers-refres-chapter-51",883,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdaily-life-in-a-multiverse-my-superpowers-refres-cover.jpg"]
