As Xia Yu was about to ask the three girls what they had done, Zhong Yunxin was brought over.
He then asked the three to sit aside for a moment and turned his attention to Zhong Yunxin.
“I haven’t done anything recently!” Zhong Yunxin defended herself.
“I know. You’ve performed well recently,” Xia Yu said, interlacing his fingers on the desk, affirming Zhong Yunxin’s behavior.
Hearing Xia Yu’s words, Zhong Yunxin sighed in relief.
Thinking that today was the last day of the semester, joy welled up inside her.
Once she returned home, she could wear whatever clothes she wanted and do whatever she pleased, no longer needing to be monitored by An Siyao!
“I’ve called you here today to discuss your holiday plans. I’ll communicate with your mother and have her keep an eye on you. If you do anything inappropriate, you know the consequences,” Xia Yu smiled.
“What? Are you still going to control me even when I’m on vacation at home?” Her pleasant dream shattered, Zhong Yunxin couldn’t accept this reality.
She didn’t get along well with Kong Hanyue, who she believed would gladly tattle on her to An Siyao.
“But I’m already at home!” Zhong Yunxin protested.
Dong—
Xia Yu lightly tapped the table, not very loudly, but it made Zhong Yunxin’s heart tighten.
She looked at Xia Yu’s face, where his smile had vanished, replaced by a terrifying expression akin to the legendary Yamantau.
“Do you have any objections?” Xia Yu asked Zhong Yunxin, menacingly.
“N-no!” Zhong Yunxin straightened her posture.
“Then you may leave now.”
Zhong Yunxin immediately turned around and practically ran out of the student council office.
Xia Yu then turned his head to look at the three girls on the sofa.
The three girls, who had originally been sitting, were now standing there, looking frightened.
“You three…”
Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, the three girls confessed their mistakes.
“We shouldn’t have run in the hallway, and we shouldn’t have shifted the blame when warned by the discipline committee. We’ve already realized our mistake!”
After speaking, the three bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.
“It’s fine. After all, the vacation is coming, and I can understand if everyone gets a bit excited,” Xia Yu then looked at the discipline committee member beside him. “In the future, for holidays like this, you can be a bit more lenient.”
“But getting excited just because of the vacation seems too childish,” the discipline committee member stood up, somewhat disagreeing.
“Childishness compared to maturity is like a child compared to an elder; there’s absolutely nothing shameful about it,” Xia Yu replied.
“But there has never been such a precedent before,” the discipline committee member was a rather rigid girl.
“Just because something has always been done this way, does that mean it’s right?”
Xia Yu’s words made the discipline committee member fall into deep thought.
“I understand,” she sat back down and looked at Xia Yu with admiration.
She felt that Xia Yu was a wise life mentor.
“Exactly, you may all go back now,” Xia Yu said to the three girls.
After leaving the student council office, the three girls let out a long sigh of relief.
On their way here, including their first sight of An Siyao, the three weren’t the least bit nervous.
An Siyao senior looked so cute, how could she possibly be scary!
They sat on the sofa and even had the composure to discuss the layout of the student council room.
When Zhong Yunxin entered, they were even excitedly waiting to see the show.
Until An Siyao knocked on the table.
The three felt as if they had seen a demon.
This caused them to abruptly rise from the sofa, too afraid to continue sitting.
After calming down, they discussed:
“It’s all your fault, you scared me to death!”
“She looked so cute, yet she was terrifying.”
“Previously, a senior told me about her, saying she was like a fierce beast, but she didn’t mention she was this frightening!”
This was because Xia Yu’s intimidation skill had reached level 2.
These past two months, he hadn’t just been playing around. Now his skill panel was:
[Music level 5, Dexterity level 4, Programming level 3, Language level 3, Intimidation level 2, Night Vision level 1, Elegance level 1, Soothing level 1, Video Games level 1, Painting level 1, Telepathy level 1, Dexterity Boost level 1]
In addition, there were still ten experience cards left.
The difficulty of upgrading Intimidation to level 2 wasn’t very high. Xia Yu had mainly spent his time on programming.
Xu Youxiang’s programming skills weren’t very high; she had only started learning in college and had been studying for just over two years.
Her teaching level was also poor, nowhere near as effective as An Siyao’s piano instruction.
Now, Xia Yu’s skills were already not much worse than Xu Youxiang’s.
To progress further, Xu Youxiang’s guidance was no longer useful. Either he needed to study on his own or find another expert to teach him.
Programmers above level 3 were already at the level of formal employees in large companies. Although Xia Yu could afford to hire them, their skills were still somewhat subpar. What Xia Yu aspired to was having someone at level 5 teach him.
He didn’t have access to such experts, but An Siyao did.
His grandfather ran a famous game development company, which surely had experts.
How should he approach An Siyao to ask?
Xia Yu was troubled.
Well, he would figure it out when the time came.
Leaving his desk, Xia Yu entered the lounge, where Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo were drinking tea on the balcony. Xia Yu joined them.
“Yao Yao, this is French black tea. Try some,” Feng Yumo poured him a cup of tea, watching expectantly.
An Siyao liked black tea, so she wanted to please her.
However, the current An Siyao was Xia Yu.
Taking a few casual sips, Xia Yu reached for the snacks.
Spending the last day of the semester at the academy, after school Xia Yu sat in the car heading home and whimsically logged onto Dongzhi Xiang’s forum.
Ignoring the chat threads below, Xia Yu looked at the two pinned posts—one about exam scores and the other about the president’s quotes.
Xia Yu first clicked on the score post to take a look. An Siyao’s grades were first in the class.
He then checked the school-wide ranking, and An Siyao was still number one.
“Even though my body is often used by me to slack off, she can still dominate the entire school?”
“Besides her personality, she’s almost a perfect girl.”
Closing the post, Xia Yu clicked on the president’s quotes.
What was this quote section? Was it Feng Yujia’s quotes?
“People’s temperaments always prefer compromise and moderation. For example, if you say this room is too dark and suggest opening a window here, everyone will certainly disagree. But if you propose tearing off the roof, they will compromise and agree to open a window.”
“The brave are angry and draw their blades against the stronger; the cowardly are angry and draw their blades against the weaker.”
“What the heck?”
He looked further down the post and saw his words from today:
“Childishness compared to maturity is like a child compared to an elder; there’s absolutely nothing shameful about it.”
“Just because something has always been done this way, does that mean it’s right?”
Further below were intense discussions by a group of girls, interpreting their president’s words from multiple angles.
“But these weren’t my words; they were by Zhou Shuren! Also, I’m not the president—the president is Feng Yujia!”
Putting his phone away, Xia Yu sighed.
The Dongzhi Xiang forum was even stranger than the Zilang No.1 High School forum.
…
The next morning, Xia Yu, back in his own body, received a call from Kong Hanyue.
“Come to Mom’s house first. I’ll introduce you to Xinxin, and then we’ll go to the hometown in the afternoon!”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu, accompanied by You Xue, arrived at Kong Hanyue’s house.
Opening the door was Zhong Yunze; Kong Hanyue was in the middle of an argument with Zhong Yunxin.
