The Wife of Hades

There were a few seconds of silence as the two of them were both in thought before finally, Mo Han cleared his throat and said softly:

"Um. . . I was the one that deleted it."

An Luxia's eyes widened as she whipped her head around to look at him, "You? Deleted the post? I'm talking about the school forum post about me."

Mo Han nodded and scratched the back of his head, "I know. Actually, I saw the post when it first came out. I had someone keep a watch on the school and the forum just in case. . ."

An Luxia raised one eyebrow, "Keep a watch on the school?"

"Not keep a watch on you! Don't worry, no one is following you or watching you. They just occasionally check the school forum and maybe talk with a student once or twice a day."

"Oh," An Luxia looked down, "So you knew about it all along?!"

Mo Han smiled a little sheepishly, "I was hoping you would tell me, but yes. . . I deleted the post because the comments were very annoying. . ."

Suddenly his eyes widened, "But don't worry! I recorded all of the IP addresses of the people who commented very rudely. I know who all of them are."

He smiled sinisterly as he said this, causing An Luxia to gulp. There was no need to get the IP addresses. It was just a few comments.

An Luxia looked around and quickly removed her seatbelt upon seeing that they had arrived, "I don't think you will need the IP addresses. It's okay. . . Thank you for deleting it. At least people won't be able to continue commenting."

She smiled and opened the door, saying softly to herself, "I wonder what's for dinner. . ."

A tradition of the college was the famous annual 'face of the school' competition, hence a beauty contest that took place every year. 

It was only the beginning of the school year, but there was enough time for people to get to know each other already, and the competition was beginning.

An Luxia took this competition very seriously every year ever since she started winning each year. It was her reputation, and she definitely couldn't lose her streak! 

It was the last class of the day, and there was an announcement in the school and also a post on the forum.

"Good afternoon, students of XX University. I am your student body president, and this announcement is for the annual face of the school competition. There will be a female competition and a male competition, with one winner and a runner-up for each. The first round will open today at 6 P.M.  and anyone can send in an image." 

"The school will pick ten people from the female and male group to move on to the final round, which will begin in three days. Voting will be open on the forum and everyone can vote once for female and male. Good luck!"

Yu Xinyi turned to look at An Luxia and sighed, "Ah, the female lane is never interesting. . . Everyone already knows who will win."

An Luxia smiled, as this was something she was proud of. As one could tell from how she picked her husband, it was obvious that her appearance was also quite important to herself. 

Although appearance wasn't the most important, An Luxia still took it seriously. . . even if she was married now.

Once she returned home, she pulled out her laptop and phone and began searching through photos. Many people sent in professional photos for the competition, but she didn't see the point in doing that. 

There was a knock at the door and Mo Han entered with two cups of warm tea inside, "Still picking?"

She nodded, "Come, come!"

Mo Han walked over, sitting down next to An Luxia, who pushed her phone over.

"I narrowed it down to three. Help me pick which one." She scrolled slowly, starting with a picture of her smiling in the middle of a flower field, and then to a picture of her holding a cup of milk tea and smiling at the camera, and finally a picture Mo Han had taken for her at the shooting range. 

Without even thinking, Mo Han immediately picked the final picture, "This one."

An Luxia chuckled softly and pursed her lips out, "Why?"

"It looks the best," he said confidently.

"Really?" 

"Of course!"

An Luxia grinned and moved closer to him on the couch, leaning her head onto his shoulder and enlarging the picture, "From the angle you took this picture, it makes my face look really big. See?"

She scrolled to the previous picture and then back, "And the lighting isn't really good. It makes my skin look dark."

She glanced up at him to see him slightly confused. Indeed, even Mo Han, who was incredibly smart, had trouble understanding "girl" issues.

"Then. . . maybe the second one?" Mo Han said a little dejectedly.

An Luxia's smile widened as she reached forward and took a sip of tea, "I know which picture I want to pick now. You can go do your work. Thank you!" 

She kissed him on the cheek and turned around, not allowing him to look at the screen as she entered the school forum and uploaded her picture.

Mo Han didn't move and watched her like a hawk, narrowing his eyes as he watched her, "What picture did you upload?"

"One of the three," An Luxia replied softly as she clicked submit and closed her phone.

Mo Han didn't press her on the question and stood up, walking over to his desk and sitting down, quickly opening his computer and beginning to type, watching the screen intently.

An Luxia also started working on the paper she had to finish by tomorrow, and didn't care about the competition anymore.

There was no way she couldn't make it to the second round. 

Just as she opened up the document, she heard a short huff of air come out of his nose and looked to see him smiling.

"What?"

He looked up from his screen with a smile, "You chose the third image."
