By the time Xu Yi looked again, the Campus Belle had already fallen asleep.
The men around them all cast envious, lecherous looks their way.
Envious!
You're getting lucky tonight, brother.
Xu Yi couldn't be bothered with these simps anymore. He was busy worrying about how to get the Campus Belle home.
Taking her to a hotel or carrying her home would both look bad.
He was a sweet, soft, pure little boy, after all.
What if rumors started? Wouldn't that damage his reputation?
Just then, Xu Yi spotted a beautiful figure appearing at the entrance.
Yu Xue!
Damn it! How could the world be so small?
If he left now, he probably wouldn't be seen, right?
Xu Yi was a little dazed, thinking about how to slip away unnoticed, when he suddenly came to his senses.
Why should he hide?
Why not avoid her? Because he wasn't afraid!
Although he had lied to her, it had been a kind lie.
Rejecting her outright would've been so rude.
That was close! He'd almost turned into a simp...
At the thought, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then took the initiative to greet her.
"Teacher Yu, you're here too?"
"Xu Yi?"
"What are you doing here? Weren't you busy?"
"Yeah, busy making money."

Yu Xue glanced at Ai Xiaoxing, who was asleep with her head on the table, and stopped breathing for a moment.

"Ai Xiaoxing? Are you two dating?"
"We're just having a meal. Don't get the wrong idea."
Yu Xue's ample, approachable bosom rose and fell again.
Xu Yi really was her natural enemy. Every time they met, he made her furious.
Yu Xue knitted her willow brows and asked warily, "If you two aren't dating, why did you get her drunk?"
Xu Yi rubbed the bridge of his nose, thoroughly exasperated. "If I told you she got herself drunk, would you believe me?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? I'm her teacher. You think I don't know what Ai Xiaoxing is usually like?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ai Xiaoxing jerked upright.
"Bro, I just dreamed you were keeping a bunch of fish. You're such a scumbag! Keep drinking... you lightweight."
"Huh? Why's Iceberg Yu here? I must've gotten up too fast. I'm seeing Iceberg Yu... Am I really drunk?
Iceberg Yu! I've been putting up with you for ages. Give me back my credits!"
Yu Xue: "..."
Before either of them could react, she downed another glass.
"Extra-spicy seaweed~"
"Even the gods fear me? Amaterasu!"
"Ye Fan, enough! Drink my imperial blood and cease your slaughter."
After spouting a string of incomprehensible nonsense, she flopped back onto the table and fell fast asleep.
Xu Yi: "???"
Yu Xue stood rooted to the spot, clearly unable to recover from the Campus Belle's bizarre behavior.
"Is she really Ai Xiaoxing?"
"Sure is."
"I know a really impressive master. Maybe I should have him check whether something dirty has gotten into her."
Xu Yi was at a loss for words.
You're a musician, and you believe in this stuff?
There was only one kind of ghost in this world, and that was... Are you from a musical family?
I scoff at superstition, but I'll kneel forever in the Temple of the God of Wealth.
Listening to the Campus Belle's bizarre remarks and Xu Yi's muttering, Yu Xue felt as if she'd lost touch with the times.
Had I been cooped up at home for too long?
"Teacher Yu, why don't you sit down and have something to eat?" Xu Yi invited her.
Yu Xue glanced at Ai Xiaoxing, then nodded and found a seat.
Then she helped herself to a piece of beef.
Xu Yi froze. You're actually eating? (Desert Eagle.jpg)
Xu Yi was a little speechless. Were all beautiful women's brains wired strangely these days?
It was obviously just a polite offer.

Feeling the steady stream of Emotion Points pouring in from all around him again, Xu Yi was delighted.
Were these simps really so jealous just because two beautiful women were eating with him?
They needed a good whipping with one of Northeast Sunny Sis's giant noodles.
A size-45 foot to the face, and they'd behave.
The people around them were grinding their teeth in anger. Damn it!
Why did he get to eat with two top-tier beauties?
Bro, do you even know how to enjoy this meal? And you're eating it anyway...
After a while, Yu Xue was finally full.
One shouldn't talk while eating or sleep while talking.
Only after setting down her chopsticks for good did she start speaking.
"Xu Yi, are you really unwilling to pursue music?"
"Teacher, music really isn't what I want to pursue."
"After you left, Teacher kept talking about you."
Xu Yi's mouth twitched. "Then I'll go visit Old Liu sometime."
"Really?" Yu Xue asked excitedly.
"Really."
Yu Xue smiled, and her face suddenly brightened like the sun.
Quite a few men around them stared, dumbstruck.
Xu Yi only let out a disdainful snort. "What a bunch of bumpkins. Don't you know who she's smiling at?"
Yu Xue suddenly looked a little embarrassed. "Xu Yi, I've been trying to recreate the two pieces you played before. But they still have a lot of flaws.
Could you write out the sheet music for me?"
Funny. These hands of mine had only ever beaten Puni. When had I ever written a song?
"Teacher Yu, you know I'm busy. I'm about to graduate soon..."

Just hearing the words "busy" made Yu Xue furious.
He chose her instead of me. What's wrong with me?
No matter how beautiful they were, most women had at least a little competitiveness.
If Xu Yi had known what she was thinking, he would've laughed in her face.
"Have you paid? How dare you compare yourself to one of my VIP clients?"
However, Yu Xue's reply left Xu Yi stunned on the spot.
"Don't worry, I'll pay you. I believe in paying for knowledge. It's also a way to respect the fruits of your labor."
I was the one with the narrow perspective.
No wonder she was such an approachable teacher.
Xu Yi immediately broke into a beaming smile. "Teacher Yu, there's no need to be so formal about money. Music has no boundaries. I'm honored that you appreciate my pieces.
How much can you pay me?"
Yu Xue held up one finger.
"A hundred? That's a little low... but I can accept it."
"Ten thousand."
Pfft~
Xu Yi nearly spat out his soy milk.
A windfall!
Now he was a man who earned over ten thousand a day.
Wealth always went to the diligent. After receiving the ten-thousand-yuan transfer,
Xu Yi asked the owner for some paper and a pen, then wrote out the sheet music on the spot.
With Instrument Mastery, writing out sheet music was a piece of cake.
Done!
Xu Yi let out a long breath. "Teacher Yu, I have something else to take care of, so I'll be going. I'll leave Campus Belle Ai in your hands."
Yu Xue was completely absorbed in the sheet music by then. She didn't respond to Xu Yi at all, only nodding.
Xu Yi didn't mind and turned to leave.
The men around them were dumbfounded by what he'd done.
Bro, you're really just leaving?
There are two gorgeous women right here... shouldn't you stick around and enjoy yourself?
You're worse than a beast!
By the time Yu Xue had memorized all the sheet music, she realized it was already late.
She immediately hoisted Ai Xiaoxing onto her back, planning to find a hotel and make do for the night.
The owner watched the two women leave, sighing over and over.
This was definitely the best day of business his hotpot restaurant had ever had. He'd thought they'd have closed long ago by now.
But there were still customers waiting in line outside.
What Yu Xue didn't know was that her decision to go to a hotel made countless students at the school weep.
The latest news on the confession wall: the Campus Belle still hadn't come back.
Xu Yi hadn't come back either.
Sch...
Wait a little longer...
Curfew~
Everyone, stop waiting. There's no way those two are coming back.
What a beast!
Xu Yi, please take it easy~
Wearing one doesn't count, so the Campus Belle is still my goddess.
Wang Liang and Liu Yu looked at the empty beds, tears of jealousy welling in their eyes.
They'd all been dick buddies. How had Xu Yi suddenly become a man above the rest?
On his deathbed, he'd jolted upright—the clown had been him all along.
And the man they were calling superior was currently taking on ten at once.
