Today, Luo Feixuan wore a white blouse with a pale blue bow tie, a striped pleated skirt, white calf-high socks, and little black leather shoes.
Her high ponytail swayed with every step, making her look even more youthful than usual.
Cheng Ruxin opened his mouth, about to speak, but Luo Feixuan had already passed him and walked up to Yu Bu'e.
"Take it and spend it. Don't you dare try to save me money, or I'll get mad!"
As she spoke, she gave Yu Bu'e a meaningful look.
Those words had clearly been meant for Cheng Ruxin.
Yu Bu'e caught on immediately. He cleared his throat and crooked his arm. Luo Feixuan rolled her eyes at him, then slipped her arm through his, looking every bit the sweet, doting girlfriend.
"Hmph. Are you telling me what to do?" Yu Bu'e asked with a frown, his voice low.
Luo Feixuan pinched Yu Bu'e hard at the waist, yet her face wore a shy smile.
"All right, all right. My mistake!"
Although he knew Luo Feixuan was acting, hearing her speak in that tone still made Yu Bu'e go embarrassingly weak at the knees...
This little brat had two whole faces!
Watching Cheng Ruxin's flushed face and the jealousy points constantly rising above his head, Yu Bu'e couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from lifting.
He turned to glance at his classmates in the classroom. Those eyes burning with envy were exactly the effect he had wanted.
Hmm... the "demons" inside everyone were just about awake now.
"Feixuan, you... you can't trust him! He's just a pretty boy living off you!" Cheng Ruxin was so furious that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Yu Bu'e scratched his head. Getting complimented like that first thing in the morning-it was a little embarrassing!
Luo Feixuan turned toward Cheng Ruxin, the shyness instantly vanishing from her face. Her brows knitted slightly. "Cheng Ruxin, watch how you address me. We're not that close."
Cheng Ruxin's eyes widened in disbelief. "You... how can you say that? We grew up together!"
Luo Feixuan gave a cold laugh. Without sparing him another glance, she started to leave with her arm linked through Yu Bu'e's.
Yu Bu'e was a kindhearted person. Seeing Cheng Ruxin in such agony, he felt a momentary pang of compassion.
"Cheng Ruxin, QQ Farm just called. Your crops are dead-and so is your game."
"Cheng Ruxin, you should fire your driver. You're clearly going nowhere."
"Cheng Ruxin..."
He kept talking as Luo Feixuan dragged him away.
Cheng Ruxin's eyes blazed, and he suddenly let out a thunderous roar.
"Yu Bu'e! Just you wait! I'll show you that only the strong deserve a beauty!"
His voice echoed down the hallway, drawing teachers out of their offices to peek around.
Luo Feixuan rolled her eyes so hard they nearly reached the heavens, muttering under her breath.
"Listen to that. Just listen... he pulls this stupid crap every other day!"
Yu Bu'e was beside himself with laughter.
As they headed downstairs, he asked quietly, "Did Cheng Ruxin run a really high fever as a kid?"
"Maybe... stay away from him when you see him. He's bad news."
Yu Bu'e put away his smile and said earnestly, "Honestly, I don't think he's a bad person. He's just a little... bizarre."
By the time he returned to the classroom, the teacher was already at the lectern. Yu Bu'e called out for permission before entering.
His classmates all turned to look at him. One of them even snapped the pen in their hand.
Watching the jealousy points rise above his classmates' heads, the corners of his mouth lifted again.
At that moment, he once again felt his classmates' warmth!
Once he sat down, Wu Yang propped his textbook upright and ducked his head low behind it.
"Old Yu, did School Belle Luo really give you six hundred thousand?"
"What else? Isn't that only natural? She's so rich. What's wrong with me helping her spend a little?" Yu Bu'e said, utterly unapologetic.
Wu Yang: "..."
[Wu Yang's Jealousy Points +70]
He was a little annoyed. Why hadn't Cheng Ruxin beaten Old Yu up earlier?
When the bell rang to end class, Yu Bu'e stretched and took a look at his system panel.
Judging by the jealousy points he had collected, news of Luo Feixuan giving him six hundred thousand had probably reached every corner of campus during morning study.
They really were a bunch of youngsters. What efficiency!
Still, the jealousy points his classmates provided had dropped slightly compared with the previous two days.
It seemed his classmates were gradually becoming "desensitized" to School Belle Luo.
Yu Bu'e decided to think of another approach.
On the way to martial arts class, Wu Yang said eagerly, "Old Yu, I heard they're testing our Spirit Meridians again today! You've taken Meridian-Opening Pills too, so you're bound to have improved a lot!"
Yu Bu'e nodded, feeling quite excited himself.
Although he already knew he had opened eleven Spirit Meridians, he still wanted to confirm it through the school's Spirit Meridian test.
Just then, an unfriendly voice came from behind them. "You only had eight Spirit Meridians last time. So what if you've taken Meridian-Opening Pills?"
Wu Yang turned to look at the person behind them and rolled his eyes. "Xu Hu, aren't you sticking your nose in a little too far?"
Xu Hu grinned. "I'm just telling the truth. How well Meridian-Opening Pills work depends on your talent too! Wu Yang, when you took them, didn't you only open two more Spirit Meridians?"
Then he looked at Yu Bu'e and said in a seemingly joking tone, "You'd be better off staying in the classroom and studying with the others. Academic subjects are the right path for you. Stop wasting the school's resources."
Wu Yang cautiously glanced at Yu Bu'e beside him. Seeing that he hadn't been discouraged, Wu Yang breathed a small sigh of relief.
"Old Yu, ignore him. He just can't stand seeing you do well."
"Yeah, I know. He's just jealous of me." Yu Bu'e nodded.
Xu Hu's face darkened, and he sneered. "I'm jealous of you? I'd already opened eleven Spirit Meridians at the last test. What do you have for me to be jealous of?"
Yu Bu'e stopped and turned to face him, his gaze sincere and his words heartfelt.
"You're jealous of my grades, you're jealous of my face, you're jealous I held the school beauty's hand, you're jealous of all my Meridian-Opening Pills-martial arts is the only place you can salvage a little pride."
"You... that's bullshit!"
Yu Bu'e waved a hand. "I know you're worked up, but try not to get worked up."
Xu Hu flushed crimson with anger and tried to rush at him, only for the two classmates beside him to hold him back.
"No fighting, Xu Hu. Just ignore him."
"Come on, let's go. Martial arts classroom..."
As Xu Hu was dragged away, Yu Bu'e flashed a victor's smile.
Right then, his phone rang.
"Another unknown number..." He answered, and a familiar voice came through the receiver.
"Yu Bu'e? It's Wang Chi! We're coming to your school this afternoon to present you with a commendation banner!"
Yu Bu'e raised his eyebrows and was about to reply when Wu Yang urged him from beside him, "Old Yu, hurry up. We'll still have to line up!"
Yu Bu'e paused, then quickly chimed in, "A commendation ceremony? No need for that. Why hold a whole ceremony? It was just a little thing."
Then he leaned closer to the phone. "Wang Chi, my classmate's just talking nonsense. Don't mind him. A banner is more than enough."
Wang Chi: "..."
Wu Yang's eyes widened.
What commendation ceremony? I'd said we'd still have to line up!
"Old Yu, did you mishear me?"
"Prize money? You want prize money too? Wu Yang, that's enough! I'm really getting angry!" Yu Bu'e lowered his voice and deliberately said, "Wang Chi, just ignore him! This afternoon, right? I'll be waiting for you!"
Wu Yang: "???"
On the phone, Wang Chi chuckled. "Actually, your classmate has a point. We should hold a commendation ceremony, and prize money... there should be some of that too. All right, I'll put in a request. See you this afternoon!"
After hanging up, his expression was complicated.
Tan Qin glanced at him from beside him. "We're holding a commendation ceremony? Then we'll need to contact their school. We'll have to apply for the prize money too, but he does deserve all of that."
"Yeah... Yu Bu'e is a decent kid." Wang Chi lit a cigarette, his gaze conflicted. "But that classmate of his, Wu Yang-what a little bastard!"
