Not Brothers, You're Really Good At This

What's up with this teacher?

Why is she contributing so many Emotion Points just for taking attendance?

Suddenly, Xu Yi felt a chill. He looked up and found Yu Xue staring at him.

"Chen Fu."

No one answered for a long time.

At this moment, Xu Yi hated that he couldn't count on them.

Such a good class, and he's skipping. Serves him right for being single.

As Yu Xue lowered her head, Xu Yi decisively called out.

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

What's wrong with this woman?

Did she find me?

Thud

Yu Xue forcefully slammed her book onto the desk and then said coldly.

"I grabbed the wrong class schedule."

Xu Yi: "???"

A boy next to him chimed in, "I was wondering why all these names sounded so unfamiliar.

Bro, you're probably screwed. You should run while you still can."

[Hahaha... I can't even with this. I laughed so hard I snorted my food up my nose.]

[Xu Yi is something else.]

[Yu Xue must be furious.]

Xu Yi nodded and tiptoed towards the back.

"Stop right there!"

Xu Yi turned his head and saw Yu Xue looking at him with a smile.

But the coldness in her eyes was impossible to hide.

"This student, do you want a school-wide announcement or do you want to continue attending my class? Choose one." Yu Xue said.

Something's wrong! This is very wrong!

But Xu Yi didn't have time to think. He decisively chose to continue attending class.

An announcement is a small matter. I have the Principal covering for me now.

But it would be bad if it implicated my clients.

He'd been substituting at schools for so many years with zero negative reviews, all thanks to his professional attitude.

Xu Yi gave an awkward smile and sat back in his seat.

"Bro, you're really done for. Goddess Yu's face instantly turned into a battle mode. She's definitely thinking about how she's going to mess with you later."

Xu Yi waved his hand, "No need to say more. As long as it doesn't affect my clients, you can do whatever you want to me."

"So professional. Bro, can I add your WeChat? If I need someone to substitute later, can I get a discount?"

"You'll be five yuan more expensive than others."

"???"

[Negative Emotion Points +20]

Yu Xue spoke again, "This class will now be a midterm exam. Anyone who fails will have their graduation postponed."

"Ah?"

"No way, Goddess."

"Didn't we agree the midterm was next week? Why the surprise inspection?"

"As long as the exam can be scheduled for next week, I'd even be willing to date Goddess Yu."

"You're really taking everything, aren't you?"

The classroom was filled with grumbling.

The smiles didn't disappear; they just transferred to Yu Xue's face.

Xu Yi was also a little panicked. This wicked woman!

She must have intentionally moved the exam up just to target him.

"Bro, what are we being tested on?" Xu Yi asked.

"Didn't you ask when you were substituting? We're in piano class, so it's obviously a piano test."

Xu Yi: "..."

I've only ever played the jj growing up, when have I ever played the piano?

Xu Yi immediately launched into bombardment mode on the cockroach client, urging her to come over for the exam quickly.

But you can never wake someone who doesn't want to attend an early morning class.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for meeting the requirements for a ten consecutive draws in the Bronze Zone. Do you wish to draw?]

"System! Please, let me draw something related to piano. I'm willing to not play Genshin Impact for a year."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Ladies' Underwear.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Ladies' Underwear.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Ladies' Underwear.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining proficiency in all musical instruments.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Ladies' Underwear.]

[...]

"The system is awesome!"

Does the musical instrument system know what this means?!

Xu Yi cheered inwardly, and soon a flood of memories surged into his mind.

Hmph~

A mere piano test, I've got this!

Soon, a crowd of people headed towards the performance room.

Yu Xue looked at Xu Yi with a hint of mockery, "Classmate, the entire test will be recorded and put into your file."

"Then be sure to film me looking handsome?" Xu Yi said with a confident smile.

[Surprise Value +30]

Yu Xue couldn't help but be taken aback. So confident? Could it be that he actually knows how to play?

Hmph, even if he does, it's useless!

What I'm teaching is a piece uniquely created by my teacher. She specially gifted it to me.

If you don't attend my class, you won't be able to play it at all.

Thinking of this, Yu Xue revealed a beautiful smile again.

The performance room was large, with various musical instruments placed around it.

Western instruments, traditional Chinese instruments, everything was available.

And placed right in the center was a piano that looked incredibly expensive.

The guy before explained, "This piano was bought with Ms. Yu's own money. I heard it cost hundreds of thousands."

"Huh?" Xu Yi's eyes widened in surprise.

"Because the school's original piano was old, and the school refused to buy a new one. To ensure students could play on good pianos, she personally funded the purchase of this one."

"Looks like she's quite the sugar mama. Maybe I'll ask if she needs any part-time services," Xu Yi muttered to himself.

Not long after, Yu Xue began calling students forward to perform according to their student IDs.

A camera was set up behind them, recording each performance individually.

"Tsk... this piece is a bit difficult. The previous student missed two notes, they'll probably lose quite a few points," Xu Yi commented.

"Bro, you play the piano?" his deskmate asked, surprised.

"I know a little, just a little."

"Then you're probably screwed. Because this piece isn't available on the market, and you're not allowed to look at the sheet music during the exam."

"A true man fears nothing."

"Ai Xiaoxing."

As Yu Xue read the name, her gaze shifted towards Xu Yi.

Xu Yi walked out boldly, "Here."

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

"You're Ai Xiaoxing?" Yu Xue asked, her smile not reaching her eyes.

"Yes. I've had a cold for the past few days, so my voice sounds a bit like a guy's."

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

"Heh~"

Yu Xue sneered, then said, "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you pass the test, I'll turn a blind eye.

But if you fail, I'll report it to the whole school, and Ai Xiaoxing will have to repeat the year."

Xu Yi nodded slightly, then elegantly sat down on the chair.

His hands moved casually over the piano keys, producing a cacophony of noise.

[Negative Emotion Points +20]

[Negative Emotion Points +20]

[Negative Emotion Points +20]

Nice, another 60 Emotion Points.

His deskmate slumped his face, truly a slight understanding.

"What are you doing?"

Yu Xue's face turned completely cold. "If you're going to insult music, then please leave."

"Don't misunderstand, teacher, I'm just tuning my sense of pitch."

"Hmph, please do."

Xu Yi raised his hands slightly, then let them fall.

Elegant notes seemed to fly out from the piano, followed by a torrent like a flood, surging forth.

His deskmate's face instantly froze. "No way, man, you can actually play!"

Yu Xue's delicate lips parted, her large eyes momentarily lost in thought.

How is this possible?

Ding ding~

As the final note fell, Yu Xue abruptly stood up, her chest heaving.

[Shock Value +50]

[Shock Value +50]

[Shock Value +50]

[...]

This is the feeling!

Xu Yi appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was ecstatic.

Showing off was secondary; Emotion Points were the real prize.

The entire room fell into an unusual silence.

The faces of the music students showed disbelief, coupled with an incomprehensible sense of defeat.

This substitute teacher plays better than us?

Is this some kind of cheat?!

"How do you know how to play?" Yu Xue broke the silence, her voice filled with excitement.

"I listened to it so many times just now, isn't it reasonable that I learned it?" Xu Yi replied matter-of-factly.
