His Secret

I sidestepped, terrified of bumping into him.

After all, this handsome guy in the hospital gown was notorious at school for having a terrible temper.

I heard that last semester, he got a major disciplinary mark just because a few guys from another school came to his class to hit on the school beauty, Qin Yi,

and one of the guys even put his foot up on Lu Xiao’s desk.

Lu Xiao came back from outside, grabbed a chair, and threw it right at them on the spot.

Those few muscular guys from the other school couldn’t even beat Lu Xiao by himself.

One of them ended up with a broken head, spent half a month in the hospital, and even threatened to sue Lu Xiao.

But Lu Xiao’s family is wealthy, so the whole thing blew over in two days without a peep.

Still, because the fight was so vicious, the school gave him a major disciplinary mark anyway.

Lu Xiao kept his eyes lowered, focusing on his buttons, not even sparing me a glance as he walked right past me toward the bed next to my dad’s.

That was when it hit me.

Lu Xiao! Had! Hemorrhoid surgery?!!

This shocking, explosive fact left me in disbelief.

I felt both sentimental and a little surprised.

Sentimental because a handsome guy had hemorrhoids at such a young age.

Surprised because, well, handsome guys get hemorrhoids too,

just like how even the prettiest little fairy princess has to poop.

I suddenly felt comforted, thinking that God is fair after all.

Just like me—even though I don’t have a stunning face, I have an interesting soul.

And I don’t have hemorrhoids~ Hehe.

Just as I was planning to bolt from the room, the boy who had just walked past me suddenly turned his head and called out to me.

His voice was cold, distant, and slightly raspy:

“From Hengyang (school name)?”
