Yet when Xu Yi looked over again, he found that Ai Campus Belle had already fallen asleep.

The men around them cast envious and wretched gazes one after another.

Envious!

I've got to hook up with her tonight, brother.

Xu Yi was already too lazy to bother with this bunch of simps, and he had a headache over how to get the campus belle back.

Sending her to a hotel, or carrying her back, were both bad ideas.

He was, after all, a fragrant, soft, tender, and pure little boy.

In case some gossip spread, wouldn't that affect his reputation?

At that moment, Xu Yi saw a graceful figure appear at the entrance.

Yu Xue!

Damn it! Why is the world so small?

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

Xu Yi felt somewhat dazed, and just as he was pondering how to leave unnoticed, he suddenly reacted.

Why should I hide?

Why avoid it? Because he had nothing to fear!

Although he had deceived her, it was only a white lie.

Refusing her directly would give her no face at all.

That was close! He almost became a simp...

Thinking of this, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and then took the initiative to greet her.

"Teacher Yu, you're here too."

"Xu Yi?"

"Why are you here? Aren't you very busy?"

"Yeah, busy making money."

Yu Xue glanced at Ai Campus Belle, who was slumped across the table asleep, and her breath caught.

"Ai Campus Belle? Are you two a couple?"

"Just having a normal meal, don't misunderstand."

Yu Xue's flat-chested yet approachable chest rose and fell again.

Xu Yi was truly her natural nemesis; every time they met, he made her boil with anger.

Yu Xue's slender brows rose, and she warned vigilantly, "Since you aren't a couple, why did you get her drunk?"

Xu Yi rubbed the bridge of his nose with a massive headache. "If I told you she got herself drunk, would you believe me?"

"Do you take me for a fool? I'm her teacher, how could I not know what kind of personality Ai Campus Belle usually has?"

As the words fell, Ai Campus Belle sat straight up in a flash.

"Bro, I just dreamed you were playing the field, you're such a scumbag! Keep drinking... lightweight."

"Huh? Why is Iceberg Yu here? I must have woken up too abruptly. I'm seeing Iceberg Yu... I can't really be drunk, right?

Iceberg Yu! I've endured you for a long time, give me back my credits!"

Yu Xue: "..."

Without waiting for the two of them to react, she chugged another glass of alcohol.

"Extra spicy seaweed~"

"Will even gods fear me? Amaterasu!"

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

After finishing a bunch of nonsensical words, she slumped back onto the table and fell soundly asleep.

Xu Yi: "???"

Yu Xue was left completely dumbfounded on the spot, obviously failing to recover from the campus belle's abstract behavior.

"Is she really Ai Campus Belle?"

"Guaranteed."

"I know a very powerful master; should I have him check if something unclean has latched onto her?"

Xu Yi was somewhat speechless.

As someone who studied music, you actually believe in these things?

There is only one kind of ghost in the world, and that is... yours truly, a Musical Family?

I sneer at superstition, but I kneel long and hard in the God of Wealth's temple.

Listening to the campus belle's abstract language and Xu Yi's muttering, Yu Xue had the illusion 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 extended an invitation.

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

She then picked up a piece of beef on her own.

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

Xu Yi was somewhat speechless. Do modern beauties' thought processes all run abnormally?

This was obviously just being polite.

Feeling the continuous stream of emotion points welling up around him once more, Xu Yi felt a surge of pleasant surprise.

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

You deserve to be whipped with Northeast China's thick sweet potato noodles.

A size-eleven boot kicked right into your faces would make you well-behaved.

At this moment, the people around gnashed their teeth in anger. They were so damned enviable!

Why on earth could he eat with two top-tier beauties?

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

After a long unknown time, Yu Xue finally finished eating.

Eat in silence, speak not when in bed.

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

"Xu Yi, are you really unwilling to develop in the field of music?"

"Teacher, my heart truly does not lie there."

"After you left, the teacher often mentioned you."

Xu Yi twitched the corner of his mouth. "Then I'll go pay Old Master Liu a visit some day."

"Really?" Yu Xue asked with pleasant surprise.

"Really."

Yu Xue smiled, instantly radiant as sunshine.

Many of the surrounding men froze in their gazes.

Only Xu Yi let out a disdainful cold snort, "A bunch of hicks. Not even looking to see who she's smiling at."

Suddenly, Yu Xue said with some embarrassment, "Xu Yi, I've replicated the two tunes you played earlier for a long time, but there are still many flaws.

Can you write a score for me?"

Too funny. Aside from beating Puni, when has this hand of mine ever written a tune?

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

At the mere thought of the words "very busy," Yu Xue grew furious.

Choosing her and not me, where do I fall short?

No matter how pretty a woman was, she would more or less have a competitive streak.

If Xu Yi knew her thoughts, he would definitely mock her on the spot.

"Did you pay the fee? How dare you compare yourself to my VIP customer?"

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

"Rest assured, I'll pay you. I'll pay for knowledge, and it's also out of respect for your labor."

It turned out my perspective was just too small.

She truly is a good teacher who is approachable and flat-chested.

Xu Yi instantly beamed with a bright smile. "Teacher Yu, mentioning money is too formal. Music inherently has no boundaries. I am honored that you appreciate my tunes.

How much money can you give me?"

Yu Xue held up one finger.

"One hundred? A bit little... but acceptable."

"Ten thousand."

Pfft~

Xu Yi almost spat out his soy milk.

Wealth dropping from the heavens!

Now I'm also a man who makes ten thousand a day.

Wealth always favors the diligent. After receiving the transfer of ten thousand yuan, Xu Yi asked the boss for paper and a pen and wrote the score on the spot.

With Music Mastery, writing a score was an absolute breeze.

Done!

Xu Yi let out a long breath. "Teacher Yu, I still have some business to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. I'll leave Ai Campus Belle in your care."

At this moment, Yu Xue was completely intoxicated by the score. She gave no response to Xu Yi's words, merely nodding.

Xu Yi didn't care either, turning around and leaving.

This move left the surrounding men dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me, bro? You're just leaving like this?

Two major beauties are right here... shouldn't you get a taste?

Scumbag behavior at its finest!

By the time Yu Xue finished memorizing the entire score, she realized it was already very late.

She immediately hoisted Ai Campus Belle over her shoulder, preparing to find a hotel to make do for the night.

The boss looked at the backs of the two women and let out one sigh of despair after another.

Today was definitely the busiest day of his hotpot restaurant's business; he had thought it would have closed long ago at this hour.

Yet today, there were still customers lining up outside.

And what Yu Xue did not know was that this hotel-going behavior of hers caused quite a few students in the school to cry with grief.

The latest intel on the confession wall: the campus belle still hadn't returned.

Likewise, Xu Yi hadn't returned either.

Study...

Wait a bit longer...

Curfew~

Everyone stop waiting, it's impossible for the two of them to come back.

Scumbags!

Xu Yi, I beg you to slow down~

Even if she wears protection, the campus belle is still my goddess.

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

Clearly everyone was just bros hanging out together, so how did you suddenly ascend to become someone above others?

Startled awake from a dying illness, the clown turned out to be none other than myself.

And at that moment, the "person above others" that was on their lips was currently taking on ten at once.
