The young man, momentarily silenced by Xia Yu, forced a smile and said, “My father has worked with your father for twenty years now—our families could be considered quite close, don’t you think?”
What he implied was that their families had a good relationship, and Xia Yu’s previous refusal to allow him to call Si Yao was unreasonable.
Taking another egg and tapping it on the table, Xia Yu sneered, “You still remember it’s your father with my father? Those who don’t know might think it’s my father following your father!”
Without directly refuting the young man’s claim of friendship, Xia Yu emphasized the difference in status.
The young man’s face flushed red, his tone already tinged with irritation: “I’m your teacher. Isn’t calling your name allowed?”
“Does being a teacher mean you can sit next to someone without their permission?” Xia Yu retorted.
“I…”
Before the young man could finish, Xia Yu interrupted him again.
“You seem to have a misunderstanding about our relationship.” Xia Yu said while peeling the eggshell.
“I’m your teacher. If someone doesn’t know, they might think you’re my teacher!” The young man used Xia Yu’s previous sentence structure to counterattack.
“In an ordinary school, teachers come first, then students are enrolled. But here, it’s the opposite.” Xia Yu said.
The prestigious school was originally a place created by a group of upper-class individuals for their children; here, the daughters of the elite were the main focus.
The young man realized that if he had a conflict with a student, it would definitely not be in his favor.
“Today was quite amusing. Maybe I can bring it up as a joke during dinner sometime. What do you think?” Xia Yu had already finished peeling the egg and placed it into Feng Yujia’s mouth.
The young man panicked. Xia Yu’s words were an explicit warning.
Talking about it during dinner meant telling the parents!
“I still have things to do. I’ll leave first.” The young man quickly picked up his tray and left the table.
Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo, the two sisters, sighed in relief.
After all, both were well-educated rich young ladies who didn’t know how to deal with someone who was somewhat shameless yet not overstepping.
“I’m very sorry,” Feng Yumo apologized, as the young man had come for her.
Looking at Feng Yumo’s petite figure, Xia Yu felt even more disgusted with the young man.
He turned out to be a lolicon!
“No problem. Beautiful flowers always attract some beasts.” Xia Yu wasn’t at all surprised by the situation Feng Yumo had encountered.
Flowers attract bees and butterflies, while grass remains peaceful. There are many bad people in this world, but they also have preferences and look down upon ordinary people.
Hearing Xia Yu use “beautiful flowers” to describe herself, Feng Yumo felt her face heat up.
Shyly, she changed the subject: “Yaoyao, you’re amazing.”
“Yeah,” Feng Yujia agreed.
Their admiring gazes made Xia Yu feel somewhat uneasy.
In fact, this was just a very ordinary verbal exchange. If the two girls wanted to, they could also say similar things. However, the most difficult part wasn’t the words themselves but the attitude.
Feng Yumo and Feng Yujia couldn’t face the young man with an adversarial attitude because of their social concepts and his dominance. They hadn’t thought of resisting but only of avoiding.
It’s like how many people still fear walking alone on a deserted path at night, even though they know there are no ghosts in the world. Knowing is one thing; being able to do it is another.
“I was just about to pick up the tray and leave. Yaoyao, you’re truly amazing,” Feng Yujia said to Xia Yu.
“Yeah, yeah. I always hide when I see him,” Feng Yumo said, troubled.
“For people with manners, being avoided by a young girl is shameful, and they won’t do it again next time. But for some shameless people, your avoidance only makes them feel more powerful, leading them to oppress you even more strongly,” Xia Yu said while peeling an egg.
“What should we do next time?” Feng Yumo asked, troubled.
Although Feng Yujia had recently had some conflicts with her younger sister, she still cared deeply for her and was equally worried.
If the young teacher did something truly excessive, they would have resisted immediately, but he skillfully maintained a balance, only being somewhat rude.
“Next time you meet him, just thank him for his recent attention and say that you’ll have your father come to thank him later,” Xia Yu suggested.
Unlike these two delicate flowers, their elders, who had struggled in the business world, were not easy to provoke.
The young teacher was merely the son of a high-level employee, completely powerless against these capitalists.
“Scaring him verbally?” Feng Yujia pondered and understood Xia Yu’s meaning.
“Yep.” Xia Yu nodded, finished peeling the last piece of eggshell, and smiled.
Just as he was about to put the egg in his mouth, he noticed Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo staring at him intently.
“This is mine,” Xia Yu blocked their gazes.
Earlier, he had fed the two girls because he needed to do something with his hands to display his composure; without composure, he couldn’t pressure the young teacher in terms of presence.
There were only five eggs on the plate, and now only three remained!
Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo reluctantly withdrew their gazes.
But soon, the two found new joy.
They changed the feeding method, no longer satisfied with placing the food in Xia Yu’s bowl, but instead directly bringing it to his mouth.
All three had high looks, and combined with the charming restaurant setting, the scene was very pleasing to the eye.
The surrounding girls looked at the trio with envy.
…
Eight hours later, Xia Yu returned to his own body.
He was currently in a cafe, working part-time as a pianist. Tuoguan Yu had been playing for half an hour and thoughtfully stopped playing as Xia Yu was about to return, so Xia Yu wouldn’t be flustered when he came back.
This was Xia Yu’s first time letting Tuoguan Yu play the piano, and he didn’t know how well he had performed.
Looking at the expressions of the surrounding customers, it seemed there was no problem.
Adjusting his mindset, Xia Yu began to play “The Dancer of the Patriarch.”
While playing, he sighed.
Don’t let some people’s daytime lives in the aristocratic school fool you; they might be working in some cafe at night.
A line of text floated past his vision.
[You have triggered an event]
[You have gained an additional 240 game points]
[In this game, you have earned a total of 720 game points]
Event? Was it referring to that young man?
An experience card costs 480, and solving the young man earned half of that; it was a great deal!
After two and a half hours of piano playing, Xia Yu bought a cake and returned home.
Seeing the cake, You Xue put down the black cat in her arms, sat on a chair, swung her feet, and ate the cake.
Xia Yu picked up a cat teaser and played with the black cat.
The black cat nimbly chased the teaser back and forth.
The cat teaser was something he had taken from the scene during the “Cats and Dogs Forward” event last time. He originally wanted to challenge the host, but to his surprise, the host gave it to him directly.
“It will be six o’clock soon,” You Xue reminded Xia Yu after finishing the cake. Xia Yu had always locked himself in his room at six o’clock before.
“It’s okay today,” Xia Yu replied.
“Oh,” You Xue nodded and cautiously asked, “What does my older brother do in his room every day?”
This question had been bothering her for a long time. When she cleaned Xia Yu’s room, she specially observed his trash can, but the number of tissues in the trash hadn’t increased.
“Little kids shouldn’t ask too many questions,” Xia Yu didn’t want to lie to You Xue. He ruffled her hair, messing up her neat long hair.
“Hmph!” You Xue expressed her protest.
It had been a while since he used his own body to sleep. Xia Yu woke up before seven in the morning, stretched, and went out to wash up.
While brushing his teeth, he was thinking about Xu Youxiang.
At this moment, a string of text floated in front of him.
[The body you marked is in critical condition]
