Narcissus sent down to earth "Amanda is the top model, and there are so many men praising her beauty that they could circle the globe, but... only I can make her look bad! I bet she'll never forget me!" Xia Hejie was feeling more and more pleased with himself, and began to dance a waltz in self-indulgence in the living room. At the scene of the new book launch -- A fashionably dressed man was walking around on stage, his expression filled with confidence as he received the host's interview. The female fans below were all looking up at him with admiration. Occasionally, the man would smile casually at the audience -- a fierce yet somewhat childish grin that always caused the female fans below to scream repeatedly. "In other words--as long as you win over women, it's equivalent to taming half the world!" The man's eyes were full of arrogance, and he said this slowly with a smile on his face. Who exactly was he? How could a single smile or expression be enough to make the women in the audience so delighted and excited? Who exactly was he? How could a single sentence or action make everyone present nod their heads in agreement? He was none other than the currently popular two-sex writer who media from radio, television, magazines, and publishing houses were all competing to attract. He was Xia Hejie. "But..." The host was thinking about how to create an even more explosive atmosphere. "But don't you think 'winning over women' sounds a bit chauvinistic?" As if hitting a good pitch in his heart, Xia Hejie's smile deepened. "What we call chauvinism is just brute force making women listen to him. What I mean by 'winning over women' is to listen carefully to what women say!" He paused, turned to look at the female fans below, and said gently with a richly magnetic voice: "Listening leads to understanding, and understanding leads to winning them over!" After he finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in cheers and applause -- Xia Hejie looked around proudly, satisfied and content as he looked at each person's face filled with respect and trust. Here, no, anywhere -- his words were like rules followed and admired by people, and his every move attracted everyone's attention. In this vast world full of lonely men and resentful women, he was the king who brought redemption to people and led everyone towards hope. No! There was someone in the crowd who had no expression, coldly staring at him? Moreover, it was actually a woman? Xia Hejie frowned, thinking that he seemed to have seen this rather ordinary face somewhere before. An unremarkable face with two braids tied up in a village girl style, and a pair of rustic glasses! Impossible! Such a featureless face, even if he had seen it somewhere before, he would have forgotten it already, how could he possibly remember? However, the image of this woman did indeed vaguely appear in his mind. Who was she? How dare she look at him with such a cold and even somewhat disdainful gaze! Xia Hejie thought. Suddenly, a pain came from the back of his neck. "Ouch" Xia Hejie touched the back of his neck, looked around but found nothing unusual, so he turned back to continue smiling and enjoying the wonderful view in front of him. "Ouch" Unexpectedly, another pain came from the back of his neck. This time, Xia Hejie could clearly feel someone behind him hitting him hard. Who dared to be so bold, harming him in broad daylight during his new book launch? Who? "Get up!" The sound came closer, vague yet real. Xia Hejie slowly opened his eyes, rubbing his eyes to adjust to the light. When his vision gradually cleared, he was startled to see a frightening face glaring at him. "Ah!" Xia Hejie screamed, slightly retreating. "What's with the 'ah'!" The woman spoke with an unpleasant expression: "I called you here to clean the toilet, not to take a nap under the tree!" "Who says I'm sleeping!" Xia Hejie finally woke up from his previous brutal dream, recalling that he was in a kindergarten. "You were obviously sleeping!" The woman glared fiercely at him, angrily saying. "I was finding inspiration! You need to know, I am a famous two-sex writer, besides appearing on TV shows, I also write columns, reviews, attend events, endorse products, and this year I plan to publish six books... I'm very busy!" He said helplessly, defending himself. "I don't care who you are! Don't forget, you're here to serve 158 hours of community service!" Xia Hejie heard this, blushed, and unhappily said: "What kind of criminal! I'm here for community service, not slavery! How dare you boss me around and shout at me! Miss Niu... Niu?" "I'm Miss Ma!" The woman said irritably. "Alright, Miss Ma..." Xia Hejie decided to use the high EQ of a two-sex writer, immediately calming his emotions and said: "It's not that I refuse to do community service, but I'm allergic to children! How about this! I'll hire workers to help clean the campus, all expenses covered by me!" "If you spend money to get others to do it, that's not social labor!" The woman named Ma glared at Xia Hejie and said. "If you can provide a quiet place for me to write, I'll give the kindergarten a brand-new stroller! How's that?" Xia Hejie ignored the woman's dissatisfied expression and continued confidently. "Since the court has sentenced you to community labor, you'd better finish these 158 hours properly! Otherwise, I'll tell the officer that you intend to bribe and avoid your punishment!" The woman became even angrier after hearing Xia Hejie's words. Xia Hejie realized something was wrong, knowing he might have approached the wrong person, but still stubbornly tried to persuade her: "Alright then. Name your price! How much do you want?" The woman took out her phone from her pocket, hit the record button, and waved it in front of him: "Please repeat that, I'll record it myself. I believe the officer will be very happy to hear this sentence!" Seeing her challenging attitude, Xia Hejie's anger couldn't be suppressed. "What do you want?" The woman saw his red face, satisfied with the big smile, further threatened: "Let me remind you, I took pictures of you sleeping under the tree earlier. Be careful, if I tell the officer that you were slacking off during your labor period, I'll suggest extending your punishment..." "You..." Xia Hejie was speechless, not expecting her to be such a difficult person. Where exactly had he offended her to make her stare at him like a cobra chasing a frog? The woman saw Xia Hejie unable to speak, triumphantly picked up the brush and water bucket on the ground, and handed it to him: "I think you'd better go clean the toilet! Let's go!" Xia Hejie patted the dust off his branded shirt, unwillingly following the woman's steps to the toilet. The strange smell inside made him very uncomfortable. "Do you really want me to clean the toilet?" Xia Hejie confirmed again. The woman smiled faintly: "Remember to mop the floor dry after washing, otherwise the children might easily fall! Come find me when you're done." "Hey, Miss Zhu..." Xia Hejie looked embarrassingly at the woman. "I said, I'm Miss Ma." The woman gave him a cold glance. "Whatever..." Xia Hejie shrugged: "I know you're still mad about the scalper ticket incident! Fine, I sincerely apologize to you -- let's forget past grievances and start anew! OK?" Start anew? The woman savored Xia Hejie's words silently. Start anew? Does he even know what he has done in the past? Doesn't he realize how arrogant and rude he was? Our grudge goes back centuries! Wanting to start anew with me? Dream on... Ma Xiaoqian took a deep breath, stared at Xia Hejie, and said firmly without any negotiation: "I just want you to do what you should, please check your behavior!" Seeing his enthusiastic face met with her cold response, Xia Hejie felt both embarrassed and humiliated, but didn't back down and stared back at her. They stared at each other, the atmosphere tense. Suddenly, a child ran into the restroom. "Teacher, Teacher Xiaoqian--" The child's face was tense as he called out. "What's wrong?" Ma Xiaoqian squatted down, her face gentle and kind as she asked. "Someone... Someone threw Little Tuo's teddy bear onto the tree!" The child said breathlessly. "What!" Ma Xiaoqian was shocked upon hearing this. Little Tuo was the most mischievous child in the kindergarten, always speaking with a mature and smooth tone. Strangely, he cherished his teddy bear deeply, always carrying it with him wherever he went. Once, a teacher in the kindergarten tried to take away the teddy bear to make him sit quietly and eat snacks, which unexpectedly resulted in a loud and uncontrollable crying fit. Due to this, Little Tuo's mother even specially visited the principal to "talk", hoping the school could respect Little Tuo's "personal actions". Ma Xiaoqian knew how important the teddy bear was to this child. She decisively decided to prioritize dealing with Little Tuo's problem. "Come with me!" Ma Xiaoqian signaled to Xia Hejie, who was standing aside confused about what happened, indicating that he should come along. Regardless of what happened, being able to avoid the unpleasant task of cleaning the toilet was the best outcome! Xia Hejie thought. He shrugged indifferently and followed her out. Around the tree, many kindergarten children were gathered, looking up at the teddy bear stuck in the tree and discussing among themselves. Another kindergarten teacher, Mary, was also nearby, anxiously looking up at the teddy bear hanging on the tree. Hearing the children's calls, Mary turned around and saw Ma Xiaoqian and Xia Hejie walking over, rushing towards them as if saved. "What's going on? Little Tuo's teddy bear is stuck in the tree!" Mary anxiously rubbed her hands together and said. Ma Xiaoqian looked around but didn't see Little Tuo. "Where's Little Tuo?" Ma Xiaoqian asked worriedly. Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads silently. "I'll go find him," Amidst the commotion, Mary realized Little Tuo had disappeared and quickly called the children to join in the search. Ma Xiaoqian turned around and noticed Xia Hejie standing far away, looking impatient. She rolled her eyes and said irritably: "Hey! Come over..." Xia Hejie heard Ma Xiaoqian calling him, reluctantly walked over while touching his nose, thinking how unlucky he was recently to deal with children he disliked the most. "You-- climb up and get it down!" When Xia Hejie approached the tree, Ma Xiaoqian pointed at the teddy bear on the tree and ordered him. Xia Hejie glanced at Ma Xiaoqian unhappily and complained: "Just now you asked me to clean the toilet, now you want me to climb the tree, are you deliberately trying to torment me?" "You brought it on yourself! If you hadn't made a mistake and been sentenced, I wouldn't be able to punish you! Go up!" Seeing Ma Xiaoqian's indifferent smile, Xia Hejie became even more irritated. "How much is this rag doll worth anyway, or shall I buy a new one to give her?" Xia Hejie couldn't understand why the disappearance of this shabby teddy bear hanging upside down on the tree made Little Tuo cry all day! "What does that have to do with me!" Who's Little Tuo? Losing a teddy bear shouldn't require me, Xia Hejie, to risk my life climbing the tree to retrieve it! Xia Hejie muttered to himself. "Are you going to climb or not?" Ma Xiaoqian took out her phone, glanced sideways at Xia Hejie, and threatened. Xia Hejie glared at Ma Xiaoqian but had to submit to the authority of the phone in her hand. He looked up at the teddy bear on the tree, evaluated the height, and asked: "Is there a bamboo pole?" "No!" Ma Xiaoqian replied straightforwardly. "What about a ladder?" "No!" "At least a chair?" Xia Hejie looked irritably at Ma Xiaoqian beside him. This woman was definitely deliberately making things difficult for him. "Chair? Yes! But you have to go fetch it yourself!" Ma Xiaoqian waved her hand impatiently and said: "If you don't want to fetch it, climb the tree! Hurry up! Dilly-dallying, you don't act like a man!" "Alright..." Xia Hejie nodded, swallowing the anger in his chest and said sinisterly: "My bad luck! I'll remember this..." Hearing Xia Hejie's tough talk, Ma Xiaoqian couldn't help but chuckle. This man had already been recorded several times in her account against "Xia Hejie"! She laughed merrily and said: "Then you'd better buy a notebook. Because there will be many more accounts to record, I'm afraid the great writer might forget once inspiration strikes!" "Hmph--" Xia Hejie glanced at Ma Xiaoqian and then rolled up his sleeves, preparing to start climbing the tree. Initially, Xia Hejie carefully confirmed that his feet were steady, slowly climbing upwards. Although he regularly exercised at the gym and did weight training to maintain his perfect physique, "climbing trees" was still a first-time experience for him. Large sweat drops fell from Xia Hejie's forehead as everyone below watched tensely, seeing that with one more reach he could grab the teddy bear hanging upside down on the branch... Dammit! That foul woman, Ma Xiaoqian, actually put me in such an embarrassing situation! While Xia Hejie struggled to maintain his graceful posture, resentment built up in his heart. His distraction caused him to lose balance suddenly... "Ah--" The teddy bear
