Chapter 62: What’s It to Me, Xia Yu?

After finishing breakfast, Xia Yu once again entered An Siyao’s body, ready to coast through the day idly.

But his timing was unfortunate today.

Looking at the test paper handed out by the teacher, Xia Yu fell into deep thought.

What is this? Who am I? Why are the questions from Dongzhi Xiang so difficult!

After thinking for a while, he picked up a pencil and wrote on the blank space of the test paper:

“Everyone should do their own test.”

An Siyao then began to recite the answers, which Xia Yu filled in one by one.

When the class ended and the teacher collected the papers, Xia Yu sighed at his own cleverness.

If he had to do it himself, he would definitely embarrass himself.

In his previous life, he was merely an ordinary college student; he had long forgotten his high school knowledge, and Dongzhi Xiang was a prestigious aristocratic school with a high level of curriculum difficulty.

In this world, the first district with a concentration of Chinese people is already top-tier, and there’s no concept of studying abroad for prestige. Therefore, these aristocratic children also have to compete for domestic universities.

Thinking about this, Xia Yu became puzzled. He had been using An Siyao’s body for quite some time and had never seen the girl study outside of home, so how was her academic performance so good?

Certainly, her talents didn’t include anything related to studying.

After spending a morning, Xia Yu found the answer.

He flipped through An Siyao’s textbooks.

These were not the standard textbooks used in regular schools, but rather a compilation unique to Dongzhi Xiang.

In theory, the standard textbooks could mobilize more talent than those compiled by private schools, thus they should be better.

However, due to various reasons, the professors compiling the standard textbooks might not have been selected purely based on teaching ability.

Dongzhi Xiang had no such issues; their textbooks were compiled by the best professors they could find, and were the result of rigorous screening among multiple versions.

The textbooks of Dongzhi Xiang were more concise and clear, with a different layout from standard textbooks, striving to progress step by step.

Combined with the high level of Dongzhi Xiang’s teachers, there was a significant gap.

For a moment, Xia Yu felt as if he had grasped a top-secret manual.

But soon after, he felt indifferent.

He could directly go to Huada University, so he didn’t need any secret manuals.

Putting down the textbook, Xia Yu thought again of You Xue.

Once You Xue reached high school, he would probably have the ability to get the girl into Dongzhi Xiang.

As he was thinking, two girls approached him.

They were two girls who often brought him pudding.

“Yaoyao, can you act a bit cooler?” After giving the pudding to Xia Yu, the two girls said.

Although he didn’t know what they wanted to do, for the sake of the pudding, Xia Yu put on a stern face.

“Just like that.” The two girls held each other’s hands, very happy.

“???”

Are you two acting crazy?

Not understanding what the two girls were excited about, Xia Yu opened the pudding and began to eat.

Soon after, three more girls came to Xia Yu, asking him to act cool.

After dealing with these three, Xia Yu ate the newly obtained chocolate and asked An Siyao, “What’s wrong with them?”

“They probably think your cool look is handsome,” An Siyao replied uncertainly.

A bunch of masochists?

Well, it’s none of my business.

After calmly finishing the day’s classes, at around four o’clock in the afternoon, Xia Yu lay on the bed and prepared to return to his own body.

“Xu Youxiang is in the neighboring city; I plan to meet her tomorrow,” An Siyao reported to Xia Yu.

“You can decide on your own. That girl has a terrible temper; you should be mentally prepared,” Xia Yu said.

“Mm.” An Siyao responded.

When the eight-hour gaming time arrived, Xia Yu returned to his own body.

He worked part-time until 5:30, then went to Kong Hanyue’s house to study the guzheng.

At half past ten, he returned home and finally had some time for himself.

What a busy day.

He pulled a book from the bookshelf and read until eleven, when his phone beeped with a notification.

It was Gui Zixiao, sending him a message.

[Gui Zixiao: How are things going between you and Yan Wei?]

[Xia Yu: I just want to make money.]

[Gui Zixiao: #Shocked, you actually want to target Qian Pizi (Money Fatty)?]

[Xia Yu: Get lost!]

[Gui Zixiao: Seriously, talking won’t hurt, and you definitely won’t lose out.]

[Xia Yu: Why are you so concerned about me? What’s your hidden agenda?]

[Gui Zixiao: …What hidden agenda could I possibly have. Anyway, I’m messaging you to say that a boy from the neighboring class seems to be bothering Yan Wei. For your sister’s sake, you should at least help out a bit.]

A boy from the neighboring class? Is it the same one I saw at the milk tea shop?

Didn’t his parents break his legs? Or did Yan Wei not tell anyone?

I’ll ask tomorrow.

Yawning, Xia Yu threw his phone aside and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Gui Zixiao messaged Yan Wei.

[Gui Zixiao: I feel like I’m at a disadvantage. I’m working hard to play matchmaker for you two, while you only need to watch.]

[Yan Wei: Then you can stop.]

[Gui Zixiao: No way! I’m just kidding!]

[Gui Zixiao: Have you found out how late your mom will be out?]

[Yan Wei: My mom said she’s playing mahjong with her until morning.]

[Gui Zixiao: Then it’s all good, I’m going out to surf the internet. Let me know if anything changes.]

[Yan Wei: This is also troublesome for me; I have to stay alert while sleeping. How about I introduce you to Tian Tian, and we’ll be even.]

[Gui Zixiao: No way! Girls aren’t as fun as games!]

[Gui Zixiao: By the way, I told Xia Yu about that guy still bothering you.]

[Yan Wei: Why did you tell him that!]

[Gui Zixiao: Don’t worry, just like I told you last time that Xia Yu likes delicious food, this matter will be fine following my advice. Well, I’m going to surf the internet now.]

Putting down her phone, Yan Wei was still somewhat worried. She feared that Xia Yu might think she wasn’t a good person because she was being harassed by a creep.

However, thinking about the date tomorrow night, she became happy again.

Lying on the bed, she plotted.

Using her excellent cooking skills to entice Xia Yu’s taste buds, using her younger sister to win over Xia Yu’s younger sister, and using Gui Zixiao’s mother to control Xia Yu’s best friend. Unfortunately, Xia Yu didn’t have many other close people besides these.

Come on, Weiwei!

After cheering herself on, Yan Wei lay in bed and fell asleep.

…

On Saturday evening, Xia Yu, You Xue, and the Yan sisters arrived outside the KTV first.

“Let’s go in first; they’ll be here soon,” Yan Wei said.

The four of them entered the KTV first and, guided by a waiter, found an empty private room.

You Xue and Yan Li, naturally sociable, started selecting songs, while Xia Yu and Yan Wei sat aside watching.

You Xue’s musical talent was no different from Xia Yu’s. Her singing sounded okay at first, but upon closer listening, there were many issues.

Wait, how did I notice these problems?

Xia Yu was startled and looked at his Music Level 3 skill.

Singing was also part of music.

The scope of this skill was too broad, covering the entire music domain… Unfortunately, he didn’t want to become a star, he just wanted to make money.

After You Xue and Yan Li finished singing a song, two female classmates came together. After one of the girls sang a song, finally, the remaining boy, who was the boyfriend of Yan Wei’s friend, arrived.

He wasn’t alone; behind him was another boy.

It wasn’t the silly guy from the milk tea shop, but a tall, thin boy wearing glasses, carrying a guitar case on his back.

When the guitar boy entered, Xia Yu noticed that Yan Wei looked somewhat unhappy.
