After the man in the suit left, Ai Xiaoxing placed the flowers at the back of the classroom.

At this point, the entire row at the back was filled with flowers, vying for attention.

"Grandpa, the flowers are full again today, you can come get them."

After a while, a security guard, nearly fifty but with a full head of white hair, walked over.

"I've already spoken with the florist. They'll buy them back at half price. You can just take them over directly, no need to negotiate. I estimate you'll get around two thousand for this batch."

"Thank you, dear. You're truly kind."

"No need to thank me. Auntie's illness will surely get better."

"Haha~ I've come to terms with it. If she goes, I'll follow her."

After the man in the suit returned, dejected, he grew more and more resentful.

Just which damn man had the audacity to make the campus belle proactively ask him out?

How could he be so brazen!

I'm not convinced!

With that, his expression suddenly turned ferocious. He opened the campus confession wall and his fingers flew across the keyboard.

"Hey bros, who can relate? Today I ran into some trashy guy who actually wanted the campus belle Ai to ask him out..."

It turns out when men get dramatic, there's no room for women.

The man in the suit posted a lengthy message, which immediately sparked heated discussion.

Many students had even started offering rewards.

The bounty had escalated from a bag of spicy chips or instant noodles to a hefty sum of one thousand yuan.

Everyone had the same goal: find that man and give him hell!

The campus belle, who hadn't gone on a date in four years, turns around and throws herself at you?

Who could stand that!

But at this moment, Xu Yi was completely unaware that he was the center of a storm.

After receiving Ai Xiaoxing's red envelope, he started playing like a noob.

Teammate: [Old Man, why no build Electrocutioner? ]

Eel Can Kill: [Electrocutioner is out of juice, charging. ]

Teammate: [Then buy a Zhonya's Hourglass]

Eel Can Kill: [Still wet from washing, not dry yet. ]

Teammate: [Our jungler is so strong]

Eel Can Kill: [Where's the bull? ]

Teammate: "..."

"Sigh~ Boring."

Xu Yi sighed. After several attempts, he confirmed.

He couldn't gain Emotion Points online.

Money is hard-earned, and shit is hard to eat.

Xu Yi decided to go out to eat with the eccentric girl.

Just then, Wang Liang shouted excitedly, "Holy crap, the campus belle Ai is proactively asking out a stranger?"

Liu Yu: "She is~ And she's making the girl ask her out? Is that even a man?"

Xu Yi blinked. What was going on?

Although beauty was like passing clouds to him, he did know a thing or two about Ai Xiaoxing.

Pure and elegant, with a refined aura, and talented.

She was not only the goddess of the Music Department but also ranked number one on the school's beauty list.

You could say she was quite the catch.

Of course, this was all hearsay.

Xu Yi had never seen her, only her photo on the confession wall.

However, Xu Yi was a little surprised. Doing this right before graduation.

Was she not planning on maintaining her image anymore? Wasn't even going to pretend?

Huh? I didn't see her when I went to cover classes today? Was she on leave?

Wang Liang smashed his ten-yuan keyboard, "Son of a bitch, which rich dude is stealing our goddess again?"

Xu Yi: "What if she's not being stolen? What if the campus belle is just genuinely interested?"

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

Liu Yu: "I'm so jealous! If the campus belle appeared in front of me, I wouldn't even dare to look at her. And this rich guy is actually eating with her."

Wang Liang: "Just let me catch that rich guy! Otherwise, I'll definitely... grovel and lick! I'll lick, I'll lick, lick..."

Xu Yi put on the "subway old man" meme expression; he couldn't stand watching these two.

Then Xu Yi comforted them, "Calm down, don't lose face. Why lick? They're not jailers."

Liu Yu was stunned, "Xu Yi, aren't you angry?"

"Why would I be angry? If you have no women in your heart, your sword will naturally be divine!"

"That's true. You're considered a young master now, completely different from us." Liu Yu sighed, his expression a little melancholic.

Things had changed between them now, and he really missed two years ago.

If only time could turn back, he would definitely have fawned over Xu Yi. He would have been his number one follower.

It was just bad luck that he fawned over the wrong person back then. Was Yang De a jerk?

He fawned for so long, only to become a hero in prison.

"I'm not talking anymore, brothers, I have to get back to my part-time job," Xu Yi said.

The two of them had known about Xu Yi's part-time job for a long time, so they didn't ask any more questions.

They just thought it was a young master's peculiar hobby.

After finishing this job, he would go eat with Uncle Li tonight.

As Xu Yi reached the door, his message notification rang again.

It was actually from Yu Xue. This surprised Xu Yi.

You have to know that Yu Xue was recognized on campus as an ice queen.

She was cold to everyone except when it came to music.

She had a cold face towards boys, girls, and even school leaders.

Her online username was much more normal than that abstract woman's.

Flame Snow: [You there?]

Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: [?]

Flame Snow: [I'll treat you to a meal... Wanna come?]

Xu Yi took a deep breath. What was going on with these women?

Were they no longer acting out their personas?

Then, without any hesitation, Xu Yi replied decisively.

Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: [No.]

Flame Snow: [Why?]

It's no if it's no, why ask why?

Although Xu Yi thought this, he didn't dare to send it.

Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: [Teacher, I'm very busy. I'm about to graduate and don't have time. I still have several papers to write. (Piggy riding a horse jpg)]

Do you dare to look directly at the sun?!

Flame Snow: [Then when will you have time?]

This is never-ending. Is this woman's emotional intelligence that low?

Doesn't she know that in the adult world, not directly agreeing means refusing?

Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: [Teacher, I'll definitely find you for a meal after I finish my papers.]

Heh~ Whether I finish the papers or not is up to me.

I charge by the minute, and you want to find me for a meal without placing an order?

What the hell are you looking for!

After sending the message, Xu Yi simply stopped looking at the other person's reply.

He turned off his phone and headed towards the school gate.

When he arrived at the school gate, he found no one there.

He was used to it; girls were naturally slow.

An hour for makeup, half an hour to change clothes.

It was then that Xu Yi suddenly noticed that the area around the school gate had become very crowded.

A large group of boys were loitering around the school gate, their eyes darting everywhere.

Xu Yi's spirits immediately lifted, and his Great Xia bloodline awakened on the spot.

There was a show to watch! Let's go~

"Bro, what's the gossip? I'm really curious."

"Any gossip?"

"Heh~ You think you're funny?"

"There's no gossip."

"Then why are you all gathered here?"

"The campus belle is at the school gate. Didn't you see the confession wall? She's waiting for someone to go eat with. We were really curious, so we've been waiting here early. We want to see who that scumbag is."

"Are you guys that bored?" Xu Yi couldn't help but retort.

"Heh~ Then you don't know how beautiful the campus belle is. Just standing there is a feast for the eyes."

A bunch of simps, beyond saving.

Xu Yi sighed. When will simps ever stand up for themselves?

Just you guys watch, I'm going to have dinner with the boss.

Right after Xu Yi muttered this, he felt his clothes being tugged from behind.

Xu Yi turned his head and saw a very delicate-looking girl. At this moment, she was looking down with a shy expression, her small mouth pouting.

"Senior Xu Yi, I..."

"Let's go then, for dinner."

[Surprise Points +10]

"Huh? Dinner. Senior Xu Yi is being so proactive? But I haven't put on makeup yet, I'm not ready..."

Xu Yi was speechless. What the hell? You called me out for dinner, and then you're not ready.

Hearing Xu Yi say this, Jiayi's eyes welled up with tears. "I... I didn't call you. It's fine if I don't wear makeup then."

Xu Yi was stunned. "Weren't you the one who asked me out for dinner?"

"No."

"Xu Yi!"

A pleasant voice sounded. Ai Xiaoxing gritted her teeth in anger. I waited for you in the cold wind at the entrance. And you turned around to pick up girls. Scumbag!

Swish swish swish~

Immediately, countless gazes from the surroundings turned towards Xu Yi.
