114. Meeting Ding Yumian Again

After leaving the apartment, Tang Miao returned to the campus she hadn't been to in a long time.

To be honest, he didn't really want to come back, because if he did, Dean Xiao would come to collect debts.

150 million...

Once I got my hands on it, I felt a little reluctant to give it away.

However, a last shred of humanity told him that although he could continue to act like a coward, what if he needed Dean Xiao's help in the future? After all, Dean Xiao was a big shot.

A moment later, he arrived at Dean Xiao's office. Dean Xiao was sitting at his desk as always, and it was unclear what he was busy with.

"You little rascal, you've been missing for over a month again. What have you been up to this time?" Dean Xiao asked with some confusion after seeing Tang Miao, who had been gone for a while, appear before him.

After all, he was a student he had high hopes for, and his frequent disappearances were something he had to be concerned about. Moreover, and most importantly, Tang Miao owed him a huge sum of money!

"I went to Dongting Lake and worked Demon Hunter for a while to pay off my debts," Tang Miao said, taking out a card and handing it to Dean Xiao: "This is the 150 million I owe you."

"The Shadow Demon Tiger is very strong, thank you Dean Xiao!"

Dean Xiao took the other end of the card, pulled it back forcefully, and nodded, saying, "You're quite lucky, kid, to have run into this."

Then, belatedly realizing what he'd just said, "What did you just say? You went to Dongting Lake to hunt demons?"

"Yeah, you know I'm dirt poor. If I didn't go monster hunting, where would I get the money to pay off my debts so quickly?" Tang Miao shrugged.

Dean Xiao looked Tang Miao up and down before saying, "It seems your trip went very smoothly this time."

Tang Miao seemed to have suffered no injuries, and may even have returned unharmed. To achieve this in a place teeming with Demon Beast is truly remarkable; he is incredibly powerful!

"Fortunately, there weren't any tough opponents in Dongting Lake, which is why things went so smoothly."

Dean Xiao shook his head and advised, "Although you've returned safely this time, I still don't recommend that you go alone to a place teeming with Demon Beast."

"If you really have any difficulties, you can tell us, and the school will help you."

Tang Miao nodded and then said, "Dean Xiao, you truly are a great dean in Huaxia! I don't have any other difficulties right now, but I'm short of money. How about you give me that 150 million yuan first?"

Upon hearing this, Dean Xiao immediately stuffed the card into his pocket and then said seriously, "Young man, it's better to have more experience."

Watching the old man change his expression so quickly, almost faster than he could ever do, Tang Miao felt nothing but disdain.

As Tang Miao left Dean Xiao's office, she encountered the girl who had attracted her from their first meeting!

Ding Yumian, who was walking over, also paused when she saw Tang Miao.

After that first encounter, Ding Yumian gained some basic understanding of the man before her.

He rarely spent time at school, yet he never expected to be so lucky. He'd met someone so rare, so easily...

Having just suffered a loss at Dean Xiao, seeing this pretty, gentle, and quiet young lady, it would be a shame not to flirt with her a little.

"Hi, beautiful, we meet again."

Upon seeing that it was Tang Miao, Ding Yumian nodded and said in a gentle voice, "I'm going to see Dean Xiao. Is there something you need?"

Tang Miao thought for a moment, then stepped aside and said, "You go first, I'll wait for you here."

"Ah?"

Ding Yumian was stunned...

In a situation like this, shouldn't the guy just leave? Why is he saying he's going to wait for her here?

However, she was also quite interested in Tang Miao, and chatting with him wasn't out of the question...

Tang Miao waved his hand. "Go on, go on, come out quickly."

He couldn't remember who she was last time, but later he slowly recalled her experiences.

Another pitiful girl, I'd like to help if I can. However, before helping, I should at least consider whether it's appropriate.

Ding Yumian was indeed quick; she came out in about two minutes.

Of course, she was only here to report some minor matters, not because Tang Miao was waiting for her, which is why she arrived so quickly.

After coming out, Ding Yumian saw that Tang Miao was still there and walked over.

Before she could even approach, Tang Miao turned around and asked, "Hey girl, tell me, do you have a crush on me?"

"???"

Ding Yumian was completely bewildered, not understanding where this judgment came from. How could she have a crush on him...?

She had previously searched for information about Tang Miao, but it was purely out of curiosity. It had nothing to do with having a crush on him...

"Hehe, I knew it, you really do have a crush on me." Tang Miao completely ignored her reaction and said to himself, "Otherwise, why would you have come out so quickly?"

Ding Yumian's unchanging face showed a rare hint of helplessness as she explained, "I was just reporting some things to Dean Xiao... You're overthinking it."

"No need to explain. It's normal for an outstanding man to be surrounded by beautiful women." Tang Miao was still immersed in his own world.

Ding Yumian suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore; after all, this guy was really shameless. Her usually calm demeanor was showing signs of breaking down... Moreover, seemingly thinking of past events, Ding Yumian's mood plummeted.

Tang Miao, who was standing nearby, immediately sensed the low mood and quickly dropped his cheeky demeanor, saying, "Hey, it's all in the past, don't dwell on it. It wasn't your fault, you don't even know it yourself."

Startled by Tang Miao's call, Ding Yumian broke out in a cold sweat... She then said apologetically, "I'm sorry... I... didn't mean to."

After saying that, Ding Yumian was a little confused again. How come Tang Miao was alright? She had been in a very low mood just now...

Tang Miao waved his hand, then said, "I know a little about you. It was just a slip of the tongue. You..."

"It's okay, I'm much better now."

Ding Yumian interrupted, her face slightly pale, clearly still shaken by her earlier emotional outburst...

"Let's go for a walk outside."

"Um..."

After leaving the office building, the two arrived at the school's playground, where Ding Yumian briefly recounted her situation to Tang Miao.

After learning the full story, Tang Miao advised, "Your ability isn't all bad. Think about it, if you can use it well, what would you have to fear even if you faced Demon Beast of demons?"

"Master it?"

Ding Yumian muttered something, then shook her head. She felt such a thing was impossible. Besides, if she could, Ding Yumian would rather be an ordinary person...
