He hadn’t visited the brown bear for several days because his stamina had already reached level 3, and his strength had risen to level 2, which was sufficient for now.
This time, he mainly came to check the current situation of the brown bear. If things were going well, he planned to leave the bear in its current position for a while.
Now, it was early morning, and the brown bear was lying asleep.
Standing up, Xia Yu looked around.
To his surprise, he found that the brown bear was now located inside a wooden cabin.
Inside the cabin, there was nothing except a pile of grass and some fruits.
Opening the cabin door, Xia Yu felt relieved.
He was still next to the cave, just with a small wooden cabin added.
The cabin was likely constructed by the girl wearing a mask, as the cave was very damp and not a suitable place for the bear to live long-term.
Letting out a yawn, Xia Yu looked at the rising sun. He climbed onto the roof of the cabin and lay down to continue sleeping.
The height of the cabin was nothing for the brown bear; it wouldn’t be hurt if it fell down.
Moreover, with dexterity and telepathy, Xia Yu would never let the bear fall.
The wind blew through his fur, and the morning sunlight shone on him. He stretched his limbs contentedly and fell asleep.
So far, he had used the bodies of three different races to sleep: human, cat, and bear.
Cat sleep was similar to human sleep, even worse in some ways, but bear sleep was much more comfortable than human sleep.
After all, bears could sleep through an entire winter.
He didn’t know how long he had slept when Xia Yu slowly woke up, feeling something heavy on his body.
Opening his eyes, he saw the girl wearing a mask lying on his belly.
“Miss, the bear is awake; you should be careful!” Awei, from below the house, shouted anxiously.
The girl wearing a mask raised her head, looked at Xiongyu, and then laid her head back on his belly.
The bear’s body wasn’t much larger than a human’s, so the girl lying on it seemed as if she were hugging Xiongyu.
So the question arises: What should one do upon waking up to find a beautiful girl lying on top of them?
He patted the girl’s back, indicating she should get off quickly.
The girl reluctantly let go of Xiongyu.
Xia Yu flipped over and jumped down from the roof of the cabin.
His action startled Awei, who immediately distanced himself from him.
At this moment, the girl also jumped down and followed behind Xiongyu.
Xiongyu didn’t go far; he just wandered around for a bit. After a while, a woman arrived.
“A Hua,” the girl with the mask called her.
A Hua was holding a bag. She took some berries out of the bag and first gave a handful to Xiongyu.
Xia Yu didn’t know what kind of berries they were, but the bear’s body felt they tasted good.
After putting the bag down, A Hua went to scold Awei again: “I told you to watch Mei Mei and wait for me, is this how you watch her?”
“What can I do if the miss wants to come?” Awei defended himself.
Xia Yu stopped listening to their argument. He picked up the bag A Hua had placed aside and continued eating the berries.
Glancing at the girl wearing a mask, Xia Yu gave her a few berries.
From A Hua’s previous words, Xia Yu finally learned the name of the girl wearing the mask, though it was only her nickname.
Her name was Meimei.
Since he had only heard the pronunciation, Xia Yu couldn’t be sure whether it was the “mei” in “rose” or the “mei” in “berry.”
Seeing that A Hua was about to finish scolding Awei, Xiongyu poured the remaining berries from the bag onto the ground and put the bag back in its original place.
When A Hua returned to where she had left the bag, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She opened the bag’s mouth and saw the empty bag inside, looking around suspiciously.
She quickly locked onto Xiongyu, who was still eating berries.
Xiongyu looked at her openly.
After comparing her own size with that of the brown bear, A Hua gave up on retrieving the berries.
She had Awei go and catch three fish, preparing to roast them for breakfast.
However, as soon as the fish were roasted, the brown bear came to the fire pit again, eyeing the fish in her hand.
In this way, Xia Yu spent eight hours eating when there was food and sleeping when there wasn’t, before returning to his own body.
He confirmed that the brown bear had already been taken care of by the girl named Meimei, so there was no need to worry anymore.
He wouldn’t need to check on it in the future.
At this time, it was 8 a.m. on Xia Yu’s side, and he had a class this morning.
Arriving at the community gate, he called a taxi driver to arrange a ride. The driver didn’t have any friends nearby, and the car arrived ten minutes later.
Getting into the car, Xia Yu told the driver the name of the school and again felt the inconvenience of not having a car.
He had already enrolled in a driving school and would take the first test in a few days.
The entire process, including four tests, would probably take about a month.
By then, Yu Ningmeng would have divested the company operating the milk tea brand, and he would receive a sum of money. The original nearly eight million could not be used for making games, but the money from selling the company could be used to buy a car.
Arriving at school, he rode an electric scooter parked at the school gate to his classroom.
Just as the class started, he was called out by his counselor.
Outside the classroom, the counselor asked Xia Yu, “Professor Shen is asking if you want to participate in the composition competition of the School of Music.”
“A composition competition?” Xia Yu asked in confusion.
“It’s not a live performance; it’s just to showcase the songs you’ve composed in recent years,” the counselor explained.
Xia Yu originally wanted to refuse, but he thought of the song he had just completed.
He was worried about how to present the song “Serene Princess” to An Siyao, so maybe he could use this competition.
“Okay,” Xia Yu agreed.
The counselor was pleasantly surprised. He had originally thought that since Xia Yu had even refused the Mid-Autumn Festival gala, it might be hard to attract him to this composition competition, which had high professional value but low popularity. He hadn’t expected Xia Yu to agree so readily.
“By the way, would it be inappropriate for me to participate in a competition held by the School of Music?” Xia Yu had some concerns.
“What’s inappropriate about it? Although it’s a competition held by the School of Music, their rules don’t say it’s only open to students from the School of Music,” the counselor reassured him.
After asking about the schedule and learning it was next week, Xia Yu returned to the classroom.
He finished the class as usual, and at the end of the class, he was stopped by Duan Yi.
Duan Yi discussed the milk tea shop matter with him, mentioning that she wanted his help in promoting it after the opening.
Feeling a bit guilty, Xia Yu agreed to Duan Yi’s suggestion that he spend a day working as an employee.
Duan Yi beamed with joy and pulled Xia Yu along, inviting him to eat at the cafeteria.
The food at Huada’s cafeteria is decent, so Xia Yu agreed.
On the way to the cafeteria, Duan Yi tugged at Xia Yu’s sleeve and said, “Look over there!”
Following Duan Yi’s gaze, Xia Yu caught sight of Yi Shiyou.
After losing the election for class president, Yi Shiyou turned to the student council. Now, he is with his fellow student council members.
They were traveling together with Xia Yu.
On the way, Yi Shiyou’s behavior was still fairly normal. However, once they arrived at the cafeteria, he went above and beyond—helping his three colleagues get their meals and even buying them drinks from the vending machine with his own money—which was somewhat unusual.
Duan Yi nudged Xia Yu again and said, “Look at him, licking it so directly.”
Xia Yu wasn’t surprised at all. He stood up and bought two bottles of milk, handing one to Duan Yi. He said, “When it comes to flattery, you either go all out or don’t bother at all. Half-hearted flattery is useless—a sycophant shouldn’t pretend to be virtuous.”
He felt indifferent about Yishiyou’s behavior.
His calm words prompted Duan Yi to ask, “You must have a lot of people fawning over you too, right?”
“No, I’m too busy with my own stuff and barely know anyone. Who would even fawn over me?” Xia Yu denied.
“How about I lick it for you? And you work one more day as a waiter in the shop?” Duan Yi was scheming.
Xia Yu’s hand holding the chopsticks froze. He asked Duan Yi, “Don’t you think the word ‘lick’ shouldn’t be used so casually?”
Duan Yi froze for a second, her face turning red. She lowered her head to sip her milk, avoiding the topic.
After Xia Yu and Duan Yi finished eating, Yi Shiyou also wrapped up his business. After seeing off his three student council colleagues, Yi Shiyou glanced at Xia Yu and Duan Yi but didn’t greet them, walking away directly.
The two didn’t pay much attention and were about to part ways downstairs when Xia Yu spotted a girl anxiously scanning her surroundings.
That was a girl from the class.
“What’s wrong?” Duan Yi stepped forward and asked.
Seeing Duan Yi, the girl excitedly grabbed her hand and said, “Why didn’t you answer my call!”
“I forgot to turn off the mute during class.” Duan Yi took out her phone and glanced at it. “What’s up?”
“Let’s hurry up and go deal with Kangkang’s matter,” the girl said, pulling Duan Yi toward the dormitory.
Xia Yu hesitated for a moment and didn’t follow. Despite the masculine-sounding name “Kangkang,” she was actually a genuine girl. Matters concerning girls weren’t something he felt appropriate to intervene in—nor did he want to.
After returning home, Xia Yu asked Duan Yi on QQ.
“It’s about the student loan,” said Duan Yi. “Kangkang’s family is in financial difficulty, so I helped her fill out the forms at the beginning of the semester. Later, when it came time to submit the documents, Qin Youliang wasn’t available, so we had Wang Lili handle it. Last week, Wang Lili said the loan had been approved, and Kangkang really did receive the money.”
So far, there’s nothing unusual—just ordinary good news. But judging by the outcome, there must have been some twist in it.
Duan Yi continued:
“I was wondering why Wang Lili told Kang Kang about this privately, and the payment was just like a regular transfer. This morning, Yi Shiyou asked Wang Lili in the group chat—he had previously helped her inquire about this matter but couldn’t resolve it, so he wanted to know how Wang Lili managed to solve it.”
“Was the approved matter fake?” Xia Yu made a guess.
“Hmm, it wasn’t approved at all. Wang Lili used her own money and lied to Kangkang, saying she got it approved.”
At first glance, this might appear to be a touching display of friendship between classmates. However, in reality, Wang Lili and Kangkang had a very strained relationship and had even publicly argued. Wang Lili likely found the situation troublesome but felt too embarrassed to admit she hadn’t accomplished the task. Moreover, since the amount of money involved meant little to her, she simply deceived Kangkang.
If Kangkang had just an ordinary temper, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but she’s actually quite sensitive and has a fiery temper. During military training, she almost got into an argument with the instructor.
At noon, Kangkang went to see Wang Lili. Her words were quite unpleasant, which annoyed Wang Lili, and the two ended up arguing.
Duan Yi added another sentence: ‘Kangkang felt that Wang Lili was giving her charity.’
After watching the entire process, Xia Yu marveled at how thrilling the events were.
Wang Lili lacked consideration, and Kangkang had psychological issues.
However, the trigger was none other than Yi Shiyou.
“Did Yishiyou ask that on purpose?” Xia Yu inquired.
“On the surface, he seemed to suddenly remember to ask, but who knows?” Duan Yi was also suspicious of Yi Shiyou.
“What’s the situation on your end now?” asked Xia Yu.
“The money has been returned to Wang Lili, but Kang Kang needs it more,” said Duan Yi.
“Why wasn’t the student loan approved?” Xia Yu was puzzled again. With such a large university like Hua University, they certainly wouldn’t lack this amount of money.
“Due to incomplete documentation, Kang Kang’s family is actually impoverished, but her father refuses to accept this label from the government, so they are still officially recorded as an ordinary family.”
After hearing Duan Yi’s words, Xia Yu sighed again, thinking that like daughter, like father.
“Although the registration deadline has passed, the funds haven’t actually been distributed yet. I’ll go ask about it this afternoon. If it doesn’t work out, could you please talk to the counselor about it?”
Xia Yu didn’t really want to get involved in this matter, but considering he wanted to persuade Duan Yi to join him in making games together, he found it hard to refuse.
After a moment, he agreed.
He opened his notebook, played games, and waited for Duan Yi’s message.
In the evening, the phone emitted a notification sound.
Duan Yi told Xia Yu that she hadn’t managed to get it done—she hadn’t even met the other party.
Xia Yu then sent a message to the counselor to inquire about the situation.
The counselor said they would give him the message tomorrow.
Xia Yu repeated the counselor’s words to Duan Yi and received her gratitude in return.
Soon, Duan Yi would have the chance to repay him.
Having dinner with Youxue, Xiayu glanced at the time in the room—it was already past six o’clock—and wondered why An Siyao hadn’t come today.
In the past, An Siyao would come whenever she had free time. What’s the situation today?
He wanted to ask, but he felt it would be invading An Siyao’s personal space.
To divert his attention, Xia Yu clicked on the game selection bar. After scanning through the options, he chose Wen Ziying.
He hadn’t been to Wen Ziying’s place for many days.
As darkness fell before his eyes, Xia Yu saw the flickering neon lights all around him and heard the piercing sound of heavy metal music.
He was in a bar, with an unknown drink placed in front of him, and a heavily made-up woman sitting beside him.
Feeling a tightness in his chest, Xia Yu looked down and noticed that his T-shirt lay flat against his chest.
My chest—wait, no, where are your boobs?
Shifting slightly, Xia Yu felt himself entangled and let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, a great doubt arose in his heart: What on earth was Wen Ziying up to this time?
“I’m role-playing as a man to experience hitting on girls at a bar,” Wen Ziying proactively explained. “The one next to you is my target—pretending to be a guy flirting with the same sex is really thrilling.”
As expected of you, you really know how to have fun.
Xia Yu gave Wen Ziyang a mental thumbs-up.
However, Wen Ziying didn’t finish flirting with the girl, and now that he’s taken control of the body, how is he going to wrap this up?
While Xia Yu was contemplating his next move, the woman beside him pressed her body against his.
The woman poked Wen Ziyu’s face with her finger: “Why so quiet, little girl~”
As she uttered the last three words, the woman drew out her tone with a teasing expression.
You’ve been exposed long ago! Xia Yu silently mocked in his heart.
“However, if you were a man, I wouldn’t be interested at all,” the woman tightened her grip around Wen Ziyu’s waist. “How about it? Come to my place tonight. My bed is very big.”
Oh my god, not only are you exposed, but you’ve also been targeted by a lesbian!
Xia Yu racked his brains, pondering how he should extricate himself.
Wen Ziying, however, wasn’t the least bit anxious: “I’ve never experienced anything like this before.”
If you want to experience it, go ahead yourself—I won’t be joining you!
Xia Yu had an idea.
