Splitting the Secondhand Smoke Money

"Uncle Yu, it's getting late. I'll head back to the dorm first."

"Alright."

The school leaders all breathed a sigh of relief in unison. He was finally leaving.

If he stayed any longer, who knew what other bombshell might go off.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Yu suddenly called out to Xu Yi the next second. "Wait!"

"Hm?"

"Xiao Yi, I'll come with you. Let's see if there's anywhere that needs assistance."

"Alright."

Xu Yi's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, he was looking forward to it. He hoped those roommates and the Student Union would put in some effort.

And contribute plenty of Emotion Points.

Since it was the men's dormitory, Bingbing could no longer follow them inside. She was deeply disappointed.

What had just happened was truly explosive—the kind of news she had never encountered in all her years in the profession.

She then arranged for an assistant to clip a hidden camera to his chest.

"Li Yi, stop lying around and come with us." The principal was furious. He kicked him and said coldly.

If this idiot had done a background check beforehand, would things have turned out like this?

Bringing him along now meant that if anything else went wrong, they could keep dumping the blame on him.

On the way, Yu Shu asked with concern, "Xiao Yi, no one's been bullying you in the dorm, right?"

"Of course not. Our school has always been strict about such things, and the students get along very well.

Besides, I hold meetings all the time encouraging students to help each other. So the dorms are generally warm little families filled with unity and friendship," the principal hurriedly said.

"Is that so, Xiao Yi?" Uncle Yu ignored him and turned to Xu Yi instead.

Xu Yi shrank his neck. "I... I guess?"

Principal: "???"

Before long, everyone arrived at the dormitory.

The moment they opened the door, a thick cloud of smoke drifted out, choking them.

Wang Liang looked like he was floating in the clouds. He was completely high from smoking. When he saw Xu Yi enter, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Xu Yi, did you smell smoke just now?"

"Yeah... it was kind of choking."

"Then hurry up and split the Secondhand Smoke Money."

Xu Yi: "..."

Everyone: "???"

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and send me the Secondhand Smoke Money!" Wang Liang slammed the ashtray down and shouted.

The principal nearly choked on his breath. "What the hell is Secondhand Smoke Money? Why don't you just rob him outright?"

Uncle Yu gave the principal a meaningful glance. "Haha, you're quite capable as a principal. What a warm little family filled with mutual help, unity, and friendship."

"Director, I..."

"Stand outside. Don't go in."

"O-Okay."

The moment Yu Shu and Xu Yi entered, a strange, mocking voice rang out.

"Wow~ Going out to sell Instant Noodles for money again? Keep selling, and you'll be the richest man in the city. Unlike me, I only live off the five thousand yuan my parents give me each month.

By the way, Xu Yi, how much do your parents give you?"

"No way, no way. Don't tell me there are really parents who don't give their children money?"

"Liu Yu, stop talking. I'm an orphan. My father passed away."

"Ah? Sorry... I didn't mean to. Your father should've started wearing Nike sooner."

Everyone: "???"

The principal, eavesdropping outside the door, was already crying.

Yu Shu's composure, forged through years in officialdom, nearly crumbled.

Bro, do you even know what you're saying?

Xu Yi merely reddened his eyes and said nothing.

As soon as he sat on his bed, another voice sounded.

"Xu Yi, did you pass CET-6? I see you memorizing vocabulary every day."

"I did."

"Huh? You passed?! Why could you pass? What gives you the right to pass!"

"Goose help catch! Goose tie catch! You memorize those words every day and you can pass? Why!"

Hmph... What good is passing anyway? You still won't be able to find a job.

Unlike me, my parents arranged for me to work at the Education Bureau as soon as I graduate. While everyone else is still grinding through exams, I've already made it ashore."

Yu Shu looked at Yang De, his eyes flickering, though his tone remained gentle. "Young man, what are your parents' names?"

"Old geezer, who are you?"

"I'm Xu Yi's uncle."

"Oh, you want to use connections for your big nephew, right?"

Yu Shu: "???"

"Sorry, my parents are very upright. They never help people pull strings through the back door.

If you want to give a gift, just give it directly to me."

"..."

"Good, very good." Yu Shu was so angry that he laughed.

It was his first time seeing someone unleash their ultimate straight at the base.

"Your parents certainly raised quite a son."

"You need to tell me that?"

"Wow~ You can't afford gifts, yet you're throwing out sarcastic remarks. All you do is learn crooked tricks every day."

Thud—

The principal could no longer endure it. He kicked the door open and stormed inside.

"Liu Yu, shut up!"

"Wow~ Prin... Principal?!"
