Chapter 17: Panicked Driver

At eight in the morning, Xia Yu logged into An Siyao’s body.

What appeared before him was a chair back.

It was the back of a car seat, and he was now inside a vehicle.

The driver was a man in a suit wearing sunglasses. Looking out of the windows on both sides, they were still in the city area.

It didn’t seem like he had been kidnapped.

As Xia Yu was surveying the surroundings, An Siyao’s voice sounded: “You’re back!”

“Yeah.” Xia Yu felt a bit uneasy. He had braced himself for the girl’s scolding.

But the girl didn’t mention the matter. Instead, she explained her current situation to Xia Yu.

“We’re on the way to school. There’s no piano available at school. Should I ask for leave?” An Siyao hadn’t tried asking for leave before, but she thought taking a day off should be acceptable.

With a driver seated in front, Xia Yu couldn’t respond directly. He took out his phone and typed a message.

“There’s no need. I’ll just go check out your school.”

Although he wanted to finish learning piano as soon as possible, he didn’t want to trouble the girl too much.

Mainly because they had become familiar with each other, and it’s harder to take advantage of someone you know well.

“Okay.” An Siyao agreed.

“Oh, I had something to deal with yesterday, so I couldn’t come.” Xia Yu offered a brief explanation.

“Okay.” The girl softly responded and then fell silent.

Just as Xia Yu had successfully navigated the crisis and started to admire the scenery outside the window, he heard An Siyao’s faint sobbing in his mind:

“You’ve definitely lost interest in my body!”

“What?!”

“I haven’t!” Xia Yu typed on his phone.

But An Siyao didn’t reply, and Xia Yu didn’t know whether she had noticed the words on the phone.

After hesitating for a couple of seconds, Xia Yu placed the phone next to his ear and pretended to be on a call: “I haven’t.”

“So, did you enter someone else’s body last night and the night before?” The sad girl said something she would never normally say.

“I didn’t enter anyone else’s body!” Xia Yu firmly denied. He had only entered a cat’s body.

“If you didn’t enter someone else’s body, then why don’t you want to enter mine?” An Siyao became even more upset.

What kind of logic was that?

“I originally intended to enter your body, but there were some problems the day before yesterday and last night.” Xia Yu explained.

“But you always came before. This time, you haven’t come for several days already.” Under Xia Yu’s explanation, the girl’s emotions calmed down, but she still harbored some doubts.

“I also need to adjust the ritual props, right? At first, of course, there wouldn’t be any problems. It’s only after prolonged use that issues arise.” Xia Yu shifted the blame to the magic ritual.

“Then can you enter someone else’s body?” An Siyao asked.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu replied, “Yes.”

An Siyao fell silent again. After a while, she asked, “Can you only use my body?”

“You have something I want, but others have it too.” Xia Yu felt that the girl’s expectations of him were too high, so it was better to lower them proactively.

“I understand.”

For the rest of the journey, the girl was completely quiet. It seemed that this matter had been peacefully resolved.

Arriving at the school gate, the driver stopped the car and opened the rear door for Xia Yu.

After Xia Yu got out, the driver drove the car away from the school gate and lit a cigarette.

His hand that held the cigarette slightly trembled.

What had he just heard?

Entering someone’s body? Something impossible to be exclusive? Adjusting something?

The young driver, who had only started working a month ago, suffered a huge mental shock.

So this was the extravagant life of the rich?

Was the angel-like young lady really like this?

Wasn’t the previous driver probably drowned in the river after hearing this?

No, he had to pretend he hadn’t heard anything.

After finishing his cigarette, the driver decided to reduce his presence and become a deaf-mute.

At this moment, Xia Yu was walking toward the classroom following An Siyao’s guidance.

As he walked, he observed his surroundings. This prestigious all-girls school indeed lived up to its reputation. The trees and flowers in the courtyard didn’t seem much different from those in other schools, but each tree and flower had been carefully cultivated, neatly arranged like an army.

In comparison, the greenery at Xia Yu’s school was like a refugee camp.

When he reached the central courtyard, Xia Yu encountered other students, including one walking the same path.

“This is my classmate, Dan Liu.” An Siyao said.

Classmate? Xia Yu turned his head to look at the girl beside him. She was a girl with shoulder-length hair, her appearance only moderately attractive, giving off a cold vibe.

As he was observing the girl, she was observing him too.

Because of her looks, An Siyao had some fame at school, regarded as one of the two most beautiful senior girls, with the nickname “Silent Princess.” True to her nickname, she was a quiet and reserved person.

Ordinary young girls would be thrilled to meet An Siyao, but Dan Liu considered herself a mature adult and had no interest in such a well-behaved princess.

But wasn’t this princess acting a bit strange today? Why was she staring at her? What was that aggressive male gaze?

“Good morning.” Xia Yu greeted Dan Liu.

“G-Good morning!” Dan Liu was somewhat startled.

After the greeting, Xia Yu turned his gaze away, which made Dan Liu feel relieved.

Dan Liu continued to secretly observe her classmate and noticed that An Siyao’s gaze, which used to be evasive and gentle, was now filled with aggression and curiosity.

Her walking pace had also changed from gentle small steps to assertive long strides.

For some reason, An Siyao’s face showed a playful smile, which made Dan Liu’s heart race.

She was a bit stunned, so her gaze was quite obvious. Xia Yu turned his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing!” Dan Liu took a step back, startled by Xia Yu’s sudden turn.

Blushing, she entered the classroom. After confirming that Xia Yu wasn’t paying attention to her anymore, Dan Liu quietly approached a short-haired girl in a corner.

An Siyao had a fan club, and the short-haired girl was a member, even a manager of the fan club.

“I want to join.” She said.

The short-haired girl was surprised: “Didn’t you say you didn’t like such gentle and delicate girls?”

“An Siyao isn’t gentle and delicate. You’ve all misunderstood.” Filling out the fan club application form with her name, Dan Liu recalled the previous scene and blushed.

Unaware that he had gained a new fan for An Siyao, Xia Yu curiously sat in the all-girls school, attending class with a group of girls.

Although it was an all-girls school, there were still some male teachers, such as the math teacher for the first class, an elderly man in his sixties.

After three classes, Xia Yu stood up and headed to the restroom.

The restroom also reflected the difference between a prestigious school and an ordinary school. Close the stall door, and if you told an ordinary school student that this was a dining area, she would believe it.

Xia Yu was already familiar with the restroom routine. He finished his business normally, washed his hands with hand soap, and walked back to the classroom.

On the way, a girl shorter than him by half a head was walking towards him.

Xia Yu stepped to the right to make way for the girl, but she also stepped left, blocking his path again.

Xia Yu tried to make way twice more, but the girl in front of him still persistently blocked him. He then realized this was intentional bullying.

This kind of bullying was quite interesting.
