Feng Yumo and Feng Yujia had been a little depressed lately.

This morning, they arrived at school. If it was like before, they’d have greeted everyone they knew. Today, they didn’t.

In the minds of both sisters was one person, An Siyao.

A few days ago, the sisters were dazzled by An Siyao so much that they wanted to be by her side all the time, to feel more of the joy. But they weren’t satisfied.

That day felt like a fluke. An Siyao was now back to the way she always was.

After they spent more time with her lately, some of their misunderstandings went away. They realized that An Siyao’s usual gentle demeanor wasn’t an act. She was really like this.

This discovery surprised them. They didn’t think someone like her existed in this world.

But her gentleness didn’t bring them joy. They wanted the same sensation from that day, which An Siyao couldn’t provide.

Was that day an illusion?

The sisters were very disappointed.

When they met An Siyao in the lobby of the school, they weren’t expecting much. They just greeted her like usual.

“Morning.” Xia Yu answered with a powerful tone.

The sisters slowed down their steps. The usual An Siyao would just say “good morning” in a gentle tone.

The two girls looked at each other, confirming their reaction. Together, they stared at Xia Yu.

“What is it?” Xia Yu was confused.

If it was the usual An Siyao, she’d have backed up, thinking there was something wrong with herself rather than talking back.

The An Siyao of that day was back?

The younger sister, Feng Yumo, realized the change first. She gripped Xia Yu’s hand.

She’d held the hands of many girls, all of whom had soft hands. It was always like holding her own hand.

But the hand she held now felt different. This hand was powerful, warm, making her cheeks feel hot.

It was that feeling again!

Xia Yu was hesitant, but he still held Feng Yumo’s hand. He’d seen girls hold hands all the time. He had assumed the gesture was normal.

He marched forward, making Feng Yumo catch up to him. This made the girl feel more excited.

Feng Yujia, off to the side, watched the hand-holding with gritted teeth. Xia Yu had two hands, but he held his backpack with the other, so he couldn’t hold her hand too. Three people holding hands was too embarrassing.

Her sister didn’t know to give her a break!

Feng Yujia stared at her sister and gave up on this battle. She launched a new attack.

She told Xia Yu, “Have lunch together?”

“Sure,” Xia Yu agreed.

“I’ll find you after class.” Feng Yujia became overjoyed.

“Me too!” Feng Yumo said.

“Yumo, you just got to this school. It’s better if you catch up with your classmates.” Feng Yujia didn’t want a repeat of the hand-holding.

“Sister, you’re the one who should spend time with your friends. They always wait for you!” Feng Yumo retaliated.

Xia Yu wasn’t stupid. He could tell the sisters were fighting over him.

He marveled to himself, ‘An Siyao was really popular.’

When the trio got to the third floor, Xia Yu parted ways with the sisters and went inside a classroom.

The elite school didn’t have classes that were much different. They just had more logical instructional materials, which were simpler.

After class, the girls gathered to gossip. Today, the conversation revolved around an urban legend.

One girl explained, “If you hear someone calling you from downstairs at night, don’t answer. It’s a ghost trying to possess you. If you got possessed, don’t panic, the ghost just needs to let off some steam, it’ll leave you alone after playing some video games.”

Xia Yu: “???”

Didn’t this just happen to him?

At noon, Xia Yu left with the Feng sisters.

The three of them went to the cafeteria. After they ordered, they all sat down by an empty table.

“This is delicious.” Feng Yujia gave some of her tofu dish to Xia Yu.

“Try this squid.” Feng Yumo shared her food too.

Xia Yu felt like he was being force-fed.

Well, he was using An Siyao’s body right now. What did it matter?

Eating without guilt, Xia Yu felt very satisfied. 

Appetite was one of the most primitive desires; the pursuit of delicious food was a human instinct. 

Xia Yu had fun eating; the Feng sisters had fun feeding him. The three of them were having a good time.

That was when an unwelcome visitor arrived.

It was a young man in his 20s or 30s.

“Yumo, I wanted to talk to you about the cultural festival!” The young man was Feng Yumo’s teacher.

While the school was an elite school for girls, there were male teachers.

The young man sat down with them.

Xia Yu and the sisters were sitting at a four-seater table, with Feng Yujia next to him and Feng Yumo across from him.

The empty seat was next to Feng Yumo.

After he sat down, the young man acted as if he had just noticed Xia Yu. “Oh Siyao, I didn’t think you would be here too.”

Xia Yu frowned. A male predator really stood out among young women. So he’d already noticed the young man. The man had been circling around for a while before heading over to them. It was not a coincidence.

Xia Yu also disliked how he skipped using the last name.

He could sense that the Feng sisters also disliked the man.

“Who is he?” Xia Yu asked.

Feng Yumo thought Xia Yu was asking her. She explained, “This is our music teacher.”

“We’d met at your mother’s birthday party last year. Siyao, I can’t believe that you didn’t remember me.” The man introduced himself.

Xia Yu wasn’t listening. He wasn’t asking Feng Yumo; he was asking An Siyao.

“A music teacher. Supposedly he came back from District 2.” An Siyao tried to recall more information. “I think his father is my father’s subordinate.”

So he was just the son of a high-end worker.

Xia Yu felt disdain for the man. While he wasn’t even a high-end worker, since he was occupying An Siyao’s body now, he had her status. He could overlook the man.

“It’ll be Auntie’s birthday soon. Siyao, I hope to see you at the party.”

Xia Yu didn’t answer, he didn’t even look at the man. He calmly peeled a pigeon’s egg. This egg was from a type of pigeon he’d never heard of. The eggshell stayed warm, so only freshly-peeled eggs tasted good. 

The man waited for Xia Yu’s answer. Xia Yu, however, acted as if he’d never seen the man. The man looked increasingly awkward. It was instantly silent at the table.

The three people looked at Xia Yu.

Even under their gaze, Xia Yu’s hand stayed steady. He finished peeling the pigeon egg.

After feeding the egg to Feng Yumo, he glanced at the man. “Siyao is not a name you can use.”

Feng Yumo’s mind was in limbo. The joy of being fed by An Siyao took over the unpleasantness created by the man.

But the man, who came for her, didn’t stop.
