But when Xu Yi looked again, he found the campus belle had already fallen asleep.

Men around cast envious and lewd glances.

Envious!

He's going to get lucky tonight, bro.

Xu Yi was too lazy to bother with these simps. He was having a headache about how to get the campus belle back.

Taking her to a hotel or carrying her back both seemed problematic.

He was a cute, soft, pure, and innocent young man.

What if some scandal broke out? Wouldn't that affect his reputation?

Just then, Xu Yi saw a beautiful figure appear at the door.

Yu Xue!

Damn it! Is the world really that small?

If he left now, he probably wouldn't be discovered, right?

Xu Yi was a bit dazed. While contemplating how to avoid being seen, he suddenly realized something.

Why should I hide?

Why not avoid? Because I'm not afraid!

Although he had deceived her, it was a well-intentioned lie.

Directly refusing would have been too rude.

Close call! Almost became a simp...

With that thought, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and then took the initiative to greet her.

"Teacher Yu, you're here too."

"Xu Yi?"

"What are you doing here? Weren't you very busy?"

"Yeah, busy making money."

Yu Xue glanced at Ai Xiaoxing, who was sleeping on the table, and her breath hitched.

"Ai Xiaoxing? Are you two a couple?"

"We were just having a normal meal, don't misunderstand."

Yu Xue's chest rose and fell again, close to bursting.

Xu Yi was truly her bane; every time they met, she ended up furious.

Yu Xue's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she asked vigilantly, "Since you two aren't a couple, why did you get her drunk?"

Xu Yi rubbed the bridge of his nose, his head throbbing. "If I said she got herself drunk, would you believe me?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? I'm her teacher, I know what Ai Xiaoxing is usually like."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ai Xiaoxing sat up abruptly.

"Dude, I just dreamed you were raising fish, it was so weird! Keep drinking... you lightweight."

"Huh? Why is Iceberg Yu here? I just woke up. I saw Iceberg Yu... Am I really drunk?

Iceberg Yu! I've had enough of you, give me back my credits!"

Yu Xue: "..."

After speaking, she downed another glass of wine before either of them could react.

"Spicy seaweed~"

"Will even gods fear me? Amaterasu!"

"Ye Fan, that's enough! Drink my imperial blood and stop the killing."

After spouting a string of nonsensical words, she slumped back onto the table and fell fast asleep again.

Xu Yi: "???"

Yu Xue stood frozen in place, clearly not having recovered from the campus belle's bizarre behavior.

"Is that really Ai Xiaoxing?"

"She's possessed."

"I know a really powerful master, maybe I should have him check if she's got something dirty attached to her."

Xu Yi was speechless.

You, a musician, believe in this stuff?

There's only one kind of ghost in this world, and that's... yours, Musical Family?

I scoff at superstition, but I'll kneel forever in the Temple of Wealth.

Listening to the school beauty's abstract language, Xu Yi's mumbling, Yu Xue felt a sense of being out of touch with the times.

Have I been cooped up at home for too long?

"Teacher Yu, why don't you sit down and eat something with us?" Xu Yi invited.

Yu Xue glanced at Ai Xiaoxing, then nodded and found a seat.

She then helped herself to a piece of beef.

Xu Yi was stunned. You're actually eating? (Desert Eagle jpg)

Xu Yi was speechless. Are all beautiful women's thought processes a bit abnormal these days?

This was obviously just a polite gesture.

[...]

Feeling the continuous influx of Emotion Points from the surroundings again, Xu Yi was pleasantly surprised.

A bunch of simps, two beauties making you this jealous?

You deserve to be whipped by Sister Qing's biggest fan from Northeast.

A size 45 foot kicking you in the face would make you behave.

At this moment, everyone around was grinding their teeth in anger, Damn it!

Why does he get to eat with two top-tier beauties?

Brother Lao, do you even understand this meal? You're just eating...

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Xue finally finished eating.

Eat in silence, speak in silence.

Only after completely putting down her chopsticks did she start to speak.

"Xu Yi, are you really not willing to develop in the field of music?"

"Teacher, my heart isn't in it."

"After you left, Teacher often mentioned you."

Xu Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Then I'll go visit Old Master Liu someday."

"Really?" Yu Xue asked in surprise.

"Really."

Yu Xue smiled, and the whole place instantly brightened.

Many men around stared blankly.

Only Xu Yi let out a cold snort of disdain, "A bunch of country bumpkins. Don't you see who she's smiling at?"

Suddenly, Yu Xue said a little shyly, "Xu Yi, I've been trying to replicate the two pieces you played before for a long time, but there have always been many flaws. Can you write out the sheet music for me?"

Hahahaha, besides beating Puni, when have I ever written music?

"Teacher Yu, you know I'm very busy. I'm graduating soon..."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Thinking of the words "very busy," Yu Xue was filled with anger.

She chose him over me, what am I lacking?

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she has a bit of a competitive streak.

If Xu Yi knew what she was thinking, he would have laughed on the spot.

"Did you pay? How dare you compare yourself to my VIP Client?"

However, Yu Xue's words made Xu Yi freeze on the spot.

"Don't worry, I'll pay you. I'll pay for knowledge. It's also respecting your labor."

My perspective was too narrow.

As expected of a good teacher who is approachable.

Xu Yi immediately beamed, "Teacher Yu, talking about money makes us strangers. Music has no boundaries. I'm honored that you appreciate my music. How much money can you give me?"

Yu Xue held up a finger.

"One hundred? That's a bit low... but acceptable."

"Ten thousand."

Pfft~

Xu Yi nearly spat out his soy milk.

Wealth falling from the sky!

Now I'm a man who earns over ten thousand a day too.

Wealth always goes to the diligent. After receiving the ten thousand yuan transfer, Xu Yi asked the boss for paper and pen and wrote out the music on the spot.

With his mastery of instruments, composing music was a piece of cake.

Done!

Xu Yi let out a long sigh. "Teacher Yu, I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I'll leave Miss Ai to you."

Yu Xue was completely engrossed in the music at this point and didn't respond to Xu Yi's words, only nodding.

Xu Yi didn't mind and turned to leave.

This action stunned the men around them.

Bro, you're just leaving like that?

Two beautiful women are right here... aren't you going to take advantage?

Born unlucky!

By the time Yu Xue had memorized all the music, she realized it was already very late.

She immediately slung Ai Xiaoxing over her shoulder, preparing to find a hotel to crash for the night.

The boss watched the two women's retreating figures, sighing continuously.

Today was definitely the best day for his hot pot restaurant's business. He thought they would have closed long ago by this time.

But there were still customers queuing outside today.

Unbeknownst to Yu Xue, her decision to go to a hotel caused many students at the school to weep.

[Latest intel from the confession wall, the campus belle hasn't returned.]

[Likewise, Xu Yi hasn't returned either.]

[Still waiting...]

[Curfew~]

[Don't wait, everyone, they're not coming back.]

[Born unlucky!]

[Xu Yi, please go a little slower~]

[Wearing it doesn't count, the campus belle is still my goddess.]

Wang Liang and Liu Yu looked at the empty beds, tears of jealousy streaming from their eyes.

We're all supposed to be bros, how did you suddenly become someone superior?

Suddenly sat up in bed while dying, the clown was me all along.

Meanwhile, the "superior person" they were talking about was currently fighting ten opponents.
