From the woman’s words, Xia Yu could gather one piece of information:
The woman approached solely because Wen Ziying was a girl. She was someone who liked bringing girls home with her.
So, what would happen if he made the woman believe Wen Ziying wasn’t a girl?
That would be somewhat difficult, because Wen Ziying had already exposed herself previously. Now, to change the woman’s impression would require strong evidence.
The most convenient and obvious evidence would be an Adam’s apple, but unfortunately, Wen Ziying’s body couldn’t produce one.
Secondly, a flat chest—unfortunately, although Wen Ziying was wrapped up, it could still be felt.
Finally, only one thing remained.
Xia Yu wrapped his left arm around the woman’s waist and brought his face close to hers.
This was to block the woman’s view.
“So, big sister likes the type who pretends boys are girls, huh? If it’s you, I guess I could give it a try!” Xia Yu said in a falsetto voice.
At the same time, he extended his right hand, took the phone from his pocket, and shoved it into his pants.
“Still not admitting it?” The woman’s smile became even more radiant. “Then come back with your big sister…”
Her words suddenly stopped because she felt something hard rubbing against her thigh.
She saw Wen Ziyu’s swaying waist.
Stunned for two seconds, as if what was rubbing against her thigh was a disgusting insect, she stood up excitedly and quickly stepped back.
“Pervert!” The woman spat out the words at Wen Ziying and quickly walked out of the bar with her bag.
Xia Yu took the phone out from his pants and sighed.
Thankfully, she was a lesbian who had never been with a man before; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to fool her.
“Pervert!” Wen Ziying said in his mind.
“???”
It was her he rubbed against with the phone, not her. What did it have to do with her?
A second later, Xia Yu realized—the girl was referring to putting the phone into his pants.
Such a drama queen.
Without arguing with her, Xia Yu stood up and left the bar.
On the way back, Wen Ziying apologized again to Xia Yu: “Sorry, I was a bit too excited just now.”
“It’s nothing. Your curse was much milder than one of my friends.” Xia Yu showed no concern.
“This feeling was pretty novel. Shall we go find another woman and try again?”
Upon hearing Wen Ziying’s words, Xia Yu stopped in his tracks.
You’re the pervert!
“I refuse,” Xia Yu replied.
Wen Ziying sighed with regret.
“Oh, by the way, why haven’t you come over recently?” Wen Ziying asked again.
“Been a bit busy lately,” Xia Yu said, unwilling to elaborate, but still gave an explanation.
“Oh,” Wen Ziying didn’t seem to care. “This feeling of being neglected isn’t bad either.”
“…”
You really are a pervert!
Suddenly, a thought arose in Xia Yu’s mind: if he became Wen Ziying’s boyfriend, could he try all sorts of things under the guise of seeking new experiences?
However, this might work well as a lover, but if she were to become a wife, the house might easily become a place of debauchery.
Xia Yu quickly suppressed these thoughts.
In life, people face many sudden temptations. At such times, one must hold fast to their original intentions.
“What shall we do today?” Wen Ziying’s voice was filled with anticipation.
She wanted to gain new experiences from Xia Yu.
Xia Yu didn’t answer. He curiously asked another question: “How do you use these experiences in your writing?”
He knew that, in fact, what novelists wrote was mostly made up out of thin air. They could write just by doing some research and interviewing professionals, and even fantasy novels required no preparation at all.
If it was professional knowledge, such as medical or sports-related topics, it could be used to write professional novels, but what Wen Ziying gained was experience, which novels didn’t really require.
“Some are used in novels, and some are used in prose or essays,” Wen Ziying answered.
Prose and poetry are literary forms that focus on the writer’s personal experiences.
“You also write prose and poetry?” Xia Yu was surprised. He was certain he had never seen the girl publish any prose or poetry.
“Not published,” Wen Ziying’s mood seemed a bit low.
Xia Yu sensed something unusual. Given Wen Ziying’s reputation, even if her writing wasn’t great, getting published wouldn’t be difficult. And considering Wen Ziying’s writing level, it shouldn’t be too bad.
He was about to ask when Wen Ziying changed the subject, urging Xia Yu to go to another bar and have some fun.
Xia Yu firmly refused, returned to the girl’s home, and read a novel.
He didn’t continue using Wen Ziying’s body to gain inspiration. Now, the inspiration he had was basically sufficient. The only thing somewhat lacking was level 5 music.
With level 5 music, he could compose songs like “White Horse” that were moderately popular, but the wild, free feeling he wanted to express in his heart was something he couldn’t write no matter what.
However, he couldn’t spend experience cards on music right now. The more pressing matter at hand was business skills.
He was saving up experience cards, planning to invest them all at once when the time came.
After spending eight ordinary hours in Wen Ziying’s body, Xia Yu returned to his own.
It was the middle of the night now. Xia Yu first checked his phone, then read the diary of the entrusted Yu body. An Siyao hadn’t contacted him.
What exactly was the girl up to? Xia Yu became even more puzzled.
After taking another nap, the next morning when he woke up, Xia Yu found out the reason.
An Siyao called him.
“I got a big sum of money,” the girl said happily.
“How did you get it?” Xia Yu thought, so An Siyao had been busy getting money yesterday.
“From my grandfather,” An Siyao replied.
Xia Yu didn’t pay much attention, just gave her an ordinary congratulatory response, got up, and went to school.
At noon after school was dismissed, the counselor approached him and told him the matter wasn’t resolved.
“It’s the school student union that’s in charge of this. The procedures have already ended, and I can’t interfere. But if you ask Professor Shen for help, there definitely won’t be a problem,” the counselor said.
If it were Xia Yu’s own issue, the counselor would have directly helped him contact Professor Shen Shengsheng. But this was a regular student’s issue. Whether it was worth contacting Professor Shen still needed Xia Yu’s decision.
The counselor felt it wasn’t worth it. Regarding this matter, approaching him—their counselor—could barely be considered a gesture of teacher-student goodwill, but going to Professor Shen would appear as outright interference.
Xia Yu also considered this point. He hesitated slightly.
Taking Kangkang’s matter to Professor Shen would be like your daughter bringing home a young boy she had just met and asking the boy to stay over.
Bothering someone with something they would consider extremely trivial might end up making them dislike you.
It was still because his own strength was insufficient. If his status were higher, this wouldn’t be considered a request for help, but rather an assigned task. Even if someone suddenly felt pity for the Sahara Desert and asked him to plant a tree there, he wouldn’t feel the slightest dissatisfaction.
“Forget it,” Xia Yu made the decision.
Helping Kangkang was entirely for Duan Yi’s sake, but Duan Yi’s favor wasn’t that great either. People with two legs are easy to find. He agreed to work with her because he trusted her character and was too lazy to go through the trouble, not because she was indispensable.
“It can’t be helped. The procedures weren’t complete,” the counselor comforted Xia Yu. “Probably because last year there was a student who scammed a student loan, the student union tightened their requirements.”
“Weren’t they strict before?” Xia Yu asked casually.
“Heh, there was a well-connected student who got kickbacks from it every time,” the counselor’s tone was contemptuous, but his eyes were full of envy.
“Can you even get kickbacks from that?” Xia Yu was surprised. What could you get from a loan? Interest? How much could that be?
“There are other policies. Later, this loan doesn’t even have to be repaid.” At this point, the counselor made a sound of realization. “I saw him showing off travel photos yesterday. If they really tightened things up, how could he still have the mood to show off photos now?”
This topic wasn’t meant to be discussed with Xia Yu. The counselor quickly changed the subject and said goodbye to Xia Yu.
After the counselor left, Duan Yi, who had been waiting nearby, immediately came to Xia Yu and asked about the situation.
Seeing Xia Yu shake his head, she looked very disappointed.
“I’ll go check with the school student union this afternoon. If that doesn’t work, there’s nothing else we can do,” Xia Yu shrugged.
He was going to the student union not mainly for Kangkang’s matter, but because after hearing what the counselor said, he had some doubts and wanted to go to the school student union to verify.
“Forget it. You won’t be able to see the person in charge,” Duan Yi had already tried in this area.
Xia Yu didn’t say anything. After lunch, he rested in the dormitory for a while and then headed to the first campus.
The campus he was currently on was the second campus.
When he arrived at the student union office, Xia Yu was stopped.
“Do you have anything to discuss?” The one who stopped him was a male.
Xia Yu explained his purpose.
“This is no longer possible. It’s useless,” the male shook his head.
Xia Yu didn’t mind. He wasn’t here for this matter.
He scanned the office with his eyes and focused on a female student wearing glasses.
“There’s another matter. Can I talk to that girl over there?” Xia Yu pointed to the girl with glasses.
The male looked at Xia Yu with confusion, then turned to the girl with glasses who was reading and said, “President, someone is looking for you.”
He actually directly identified the president? Xia Yu was surprised.
The girl with glasses raised her head and looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her with confusion.
Xia Yu invited the girl with glasses to go outside to talk.
“So you’re that Xia Yu,” the girl with glasses extended her hand when they went outside. She recognized Xia Yu.
Xia Yu shook hands with the girl with glasses and sighed at the convenience of being famous.
Meeting someone randomly who already knew him was indeed quite convenient.
However, this was only turning their relationship from strangers to generally friendly, which could be seen from the girl with glasses’ formulaic smile. She wasn’t one of those rabid fans.
In real life, there aren’t that many rabid fans. The internet brought together rabid fans from all over the world, making their numbers seem massive.
Just being generally friendly wasn’t enough. If Xia Yu wanted to resolve his doubts, he needed a closer relationship.
He activated Elegance and Mental Therapy and began conversing with the girl with glasses.
In the student union office, the remaining three members gathered together, gossiping.
“What’s going on? Someone actually came to ask out that robot?” Male No. 1 said.
“Fake. Didn’t you see when he said he wanted to talk to her, she also looked confused?” Male No. 2 refuted.
“That boy came to talk about the previous student loan matter,” Male No. 3, the one who had just received Xia Yu, said.
“Isn’t that the vice president’s responsibility?” Male No. 1 interjected.
“He probably wanted to go straight to the president. Fake, fake. Not a love story. Disperse, disperse. That woman always smiles falsely. She’s okay as a colleague, but who would want her as a girlfriend?” Male No. 2 concluded.
However, they didn’t disperse but continued to talk about the girl with glasses.
“If she were just a bit more sincere, the president is still quite good-looking.”
“Forget it. Don’t you remember when the vice president publicly declared his pursuit of her, and worked hard for a week without even getting a real smile?”
The three recalled the girl with glasses, who handled the vice president’s various love gestures with a gentle smile and a warm expression, as if she wasn’t the one being courted, which was somewhat creepy.
“Just a smiling robot. I wouldn’t be able to handle it either.”
They were in the middle of their conversation when they suddenly heard laughter.
The three closed their mouths in shock and looked toward the source.
They saw the president, known as the smiling robot, now laughing happily and sincerely. She leaned against the unknown boy, her shoulders shaking, and even a child could tell she was very happy now.
“Goodness, the president actually smiled so genuinely!”
“Quick, pinch me!”
“Who is that boy? Some kind of divine figure!”
Seeing the girl with glasses glance in their direction, they quickly closed the door.
Withdrawing her gaze, the bespectacled girl realized her classmates had noticed her expression. A pang of regret struck her—she felt her carefully maintained image had crumbled.
She looked at Xia Yu again. She had always been a rather emotionally detached person since childhood and had never been interested in boys. She didn’t know why she felt happy when she saw him, and even happier after talking with him.
She couldn’t help taking out her phone and exchanging QQ numbers with Xia Yu.
After adding him, she put away her smile and asked, “Okay, talk. What do you need? If I can help, I will.”
She knew the other party definitely wasn’t here just for a chat.
Seeing that the girl with glasses was a straightforward person, Xia Yu smiled. He mentioned the matter of Kangkang.
The girl with glasses first asked about the procedures. Xia Yu showed her the documents Duan Yi had sent him.
After looking through them for a while, the girl with glasses agreed, “Adding it won’t be a problem. Wait for my message.”
Many matters have room for maneuver. The problem is, whether the other party is willing to do it for you, after all, no one wants to go out of their way.
Moreover, there’s room for maneuver on one hand, and regulations on the other. Many of these maneuvering spaces are actually skirting the edges of the regulations, which carries risks.
Xia Yu hadn’t expected this matter to actually be maneuverable. He mainly wanted to ask about another matter.
“Has the loan application been tightened? Previously, I applied once but didn’t get it because I didn’t have the title of a poor family,” he asked.
After hearing Xia Yu’s words, the girl with glasses lightly frowned, “It hasn’t been tightened. It’s still the same as before. If you’re not poor, it’s not a problem. She was blocked by someone.”
Involving the dark side of the matter, the girl with glasses found it somewhat difficult to agree so readily. She asked Xia Yu to wait a moment, went into the office, and flipped through the list on the computer.
Seeing that Kangkang’s name wasn’t even on the original list, the girl with glasses relaxed. This meant it was the person at the bottom who was blocking it, and those small fry didn’t need to be taken seriously.
When she came out, her expression was relaxed, “No problem, you can rest assured.”
“Can you tell me who blocked it?” Xia Yu asked again.
“It’s the person responsible from your college’s student union. I’m not sure who exactly it is,” the girl with glasses actually knew who it was; the list had it written, but she couldn’t explicitly say it, so she could only hint to Xia Yu like this.
Mentioning the college’s student union, Xia Yu immediately thought of Yi Shiyou.
He narrowed his eyes.
